The Sovereign Of The Three Realms

Chapter 9: We Are Seriously Rich

If this really happened, the third hallmaster could almost imagine the kind of punishment he would face when the hallmaster lord returned!

Although it was only a healing medicine, it was something that every practitioner needed. The size of this market is an astronomical number.

Not to mention that this is an exclusive trade, only available in this store and nothing else. They will be able to corner the market with peace of mind.

This type of business opportunity occurs less than once in ten lives! If they missed it, they wouldn't even be able to find a place to cry.

“Pak, anything can be discussed! Our hall offers full sincerity in discussing this matter. How about this, the Hall first offered ten thousand silver as a sign of our solemnity. Please treat it as a sign of friendship, of our desire to befriend a noble master. I could also be so bold as to agree to the 50/50 division requirement. We can sign a cooperation contract as soon as master hallmaster returns. ”

Jiang Zheng was so happy that flowers were almost blooming in his heart, yet he remembered Jiang Chen's words. Jiang Chen said that the 50/50 split was the point. If he could negotiate a better division, then the additional advantage would be his, Jiang Zheng!

Isn't this opportunity knocking on his door?

“Hallmaster Third, I just gave you a chance, but you don't understand it. The 50/50 split is a thing of the past. Now, hmph! If we don't reach an agreement, it will be 70/30. I believe that the Peasant God Temple or the Pill King Garden will still be willing even with a 70/30 split. ”

This is not advice, but a simple fact. The Temple and Garden had always been eyeing the Hall's position as the leader of the pill market in the kingdom. How would they miss such an opportunity that came knocking on their door?

The cost of the medicinal pill was roughly ten percent. Even with a 70/30 split, there is still room for a twenty percent profit.

This twenty percent gain is no small thing. A twenty percent gain from a cornered market is still a striking number. After all, this thing would be able to dominate the market of the sixteen kingdoms around it!

Low profit margins do not match low margins and high volumes!

“...design the contract immediately! Present to me! Immediately offer ten thousand gold to this man as a sign of our sincerity!” The third Hallmaster really wanted to slap himself right now. Why wasn't he more enthusiastic before? Why isn't he more assertive?

A very nice 50/50 split has turned into this in the blink of an eye.

But it's still good. The third Hallmaster decided to continue with the deal while thinking about the future potential of this business. Better not upset this guy any further. The 70/30 split will become real if he changes his mind again. That would lose another ten percent of the profit.

Jiang Zheng felt like he was surrounded by happiness and satisfaction after he received ten thousand gold. He patted the shoulder of the third hallmaster, “You are a very pleasant man. Let's split up, I'll do 60 and you do 40. We can happily finish this!”

Jiang Zheng had almost forgotten how he got home. He felt like his entire body was floating and he would drift into the clouds as he walked down the street.

He was too happy, too excited.

So excited that he almost suspected that he was dreaming!

Ten thousand gold was nothing in his eyes now. The contract has been drafted, and he has reviewed it. He recalled that the young duke had promised that he, Jiang Zheng would be able to keep the advantage of any split more profitable than the 50/50 bottom line.

But he hasn't signed it yet. After all, the young master should consider this. He was only a subordinate, and did not dare to step over his place by signing a contract without any firm orders from his master.

Jiang Zheng was counting on his fingertips. If he turned this ten percent profit into silver, then the result would be enough for him to live in style for a long time.

Delicious food from the land and sea, dressed in fine clothes and riding well-preserved horses, the palace and the surrounding land, a house filled with gold and silver.

At this moment, Jiang Zheng felt that this kind of life was already staring at his face.

Talk with the powerful, make friends with the noble, the wife who coexists harmoniously, cherish sons and grandchildren.

Life like this was already waving at him from afar.

Stay in the Autumn Stork, the financier of the Back Spring Garden, the prostitute with the duke and prince, drinking at the same table with the esteemed officials.

Of course, a sight like this would not be too far away!

He returned happily to the manor and was about to report the good news to the young duke, but was told that the young duke had closed his doors to training. Every message has to wait.

Jiang Zheng did not think too much of it as his entire being was enveloped in happiness. He decided not to leave, and sat down in front of the young duke's room, faithfully filling the role of a guard.

He still had not regained his composure after he sat down. He recalled the historical antics of the young duke, and thought about the amazing events of today.

Jiang Zheng could not help but suspect, “Did the young duke have been a con artist all along? Has he tested me with that senseless act before? Does he pretend to be weak, when in fact he is strong enough?”

Whether it was a trickster or really a visit from the gods, Jiang Zheng clearly realized that his doubts from before were very untrue.

He knew that even if the young duke had no other redeeming qualities about him, this pill recipe alone represented unlimited potential!

As a servant and servant of the young duke's personal body, it would be a huge mistake if he did not follow in the young duke's footsteps!

“I acted silly earlier in wanting to quit. Thankfully the young duke still believed in me, Jiang Zheng. I have to do a good job in the future. What are the benefits and disadvantages for a moment? The young duke had not moved before just because he was unwilling. Now that he had made it, it was truly an incredible act! It seemed like the young duke was no ordinary person! ”

Many thoughts raged on Jiang Zheng's head, but the most resolute was that in the future, he would steadfastly follow in the young duke's footsteps. He would not even furrow his brows if they climbed a mountain made of knives, or dived into the sea of flames.

Isn't the goal of a steward following a master to achieve power and wealth?

The more he thought, the more Jiang Zheng's blood throbbed. He would have more status now at home, and could have lectured his yellow-faced wife to avoid being too petty!

Why should I, Jiang Zheng, try to lift up the other servants? So they are temporarily rich and while placed high, a big problem. Can everything be added together according to my catch today?

While Jiang Zheng was happily dreaming of his blueprint being happy forever, Jiang Chen took the first step on the training path in his past and present life.

One had to say, Jiang Chen's past was the epitome of laziness. His potential was in the top percentile among all 108 heirs to the rank of a duke, but the effort he put in was without a doubt the lowest.

“This kid really never made it. All this potential, for nothing!” Jiang Chen was a little dissatisfied with himself in the past.

In this world, the basics of martial dao are — there are twelve major acupoints in one's body, and twelve meridians flow through them. One could clear the meridians by clearing the acupoints, and combine the body's energy into one true qi current.

Overall, there were twelve meridians of true qi in the true qi realm.

But in the Eastern Kingdom, no one could obtain twelve meridians true qi by clearing all twelve meridians, through clearing twelve acupoints.

Therefore, there was a sentence in the training world: Twelve levels of true qi separated the serpent and the dragon.

Whether a practitioner is a dragon or a snake depends on how many acupoints he can clear on his body.

In general, clearing three means passing. The three true qi meridians were called the early true qi realm. This type of person was slightly stronger than the average person. They are suitable for joining the military and fighting, or guarding the house.

If one surpassed three and was within six levels, it counted as a true qi of the intermediate level. The practitioner level enjoyed a higher status among martial dao practitioners. Whether it is joining the military or trying other professions, they will achieve good results.

As for surpassing the six levels and staying with the nine levels, then it entered the advanced level of true qi.

There are very few in the advanced level. If one were to become an advanced practitioner, then he would be quite a good character in the Eastern Kingdom region.

Those above the nine levels would be praised as true qi masters, but it was a rare phoenix feather or dragon scales.

They were few and far between in the entire Eastern Kingdom. Anyone who could train to the ninth level or higher would respectfully be given the title of a true qi master and martial dao genius.

But of course, twelve levels of true qi were still the basic foundation at the end of the day. In the realm of true qi, one was still a true qi practitioner no matter how strong he was. If they were unable to turn their true qi into spirit qi, then their martial path was simply an elusive and futile effort. All will be mortal like clouds at the end of two hundred years of life.

So, there is another sentence that exists when one rises higher: if true qi does not turn into spirit qi, then one is still a worm.

Adding two sentences together gave rise to this saying: Twelve levels of true qi separate snakes and dragons. If true qi does not turn into spirit qi, then one is still a worm.

What does it mean to turn true qi into spirit qi?

It was the act of training true qi to the highest level, comprehending the sea of spirits, and turning true qi into spirit qi. It was to borrow the power of heaven and earth, and turn into supreme spirit power.

As soon as true qi was converted into spirit qi, that was when one released the shackles of martial dao and entered the spirit dao.

The spirit dao practitioner created the clouds with the flip of a hand, and lowered the rain with another flip. They could summon wind and rain, move mountains and frame the sea.

It was said that even the combined efforts of ten true qi masters would not be able to withstand the careless blows of a spirit dao practitioner.

It was not hyperbole to say that if one entered the spirit dao, then they were truly golden scaly dragons looming above the clouds!

There was a legend of a powerful spirit dao warrior living in the Eastern Kingdom. He was a hermit, hidden deep, and mysterious beyond belief. Even the king had to humble himself and salute this soldier.

The funny thing was, in the world of martial cultivation, although those who walked on the path of the spirit dao rarely appeared, there were still a few. However, there was not a single one that belonged among the highest true qi masters.

What is meant by a supreme true qi master?

That meant a genius martial dao practitioner who had cleared all twelve acupoints and meridians.

In his historical records, no one had ever given birth to such a genius in the Eastern Kingdom. Even the sixteen kingdoms around him very rarely boasted one.

A twelve meridians true qi master was even more unusual than a spirit dao practitioner.

As for the ten, eleven meridians – each kingdom has a small handful of it.

But for an unknown reason, there was not a single twelve meridians true qi master.

Logically speaking, once one had trained the true qi of eleven meridians, they could actually continue the fight and remove the twelve acupoints as well. But the training rules are very hard.

Some geniuses painstakingly searched for twelve meridians of paragons after practicing to the eleven meridians true qi, but in the end did not produce anything, either, and even lost the best time to try to ascend to the spirit dao.

According to the martial dao laws, those under 30 years old had the greatest chance of turning true qi into spirit qi. The probability will shrink by half if it is below 40, with no chance at all after 50.

Therefore, if one did not make good use of time in changing true qi after practicing to eleven true qi levels, they would forever lose this opportunity if their age exceeded the appropriate range.

Training to twelve meridians paragons still meant staying in the true qi realm, and one's lifespan would not exceed 300 years.

But once a practitioner transmuted their true qi, their lifespan would immediately soar to 700 or 800, even 1000 years, giving rise to more opportunities in the path of martial dao.

Therefore, ten and eleven meridians true qi masters were always faced with this dilemma. Did they continue to explore twelve meridians true qi? Or make the most of their time and turn true qi into spirit qi?

This was a difficult decision, but reason would prevail on impulse for most true qi masters, and they would choose to change their true qi.

Although the success rate of the transmutation was also low, it was at least better than the swift movement of chasing after the twelve meridians paragon, right?

The extra years of life given from the successful transmutation into spirit qi were the greatest temptation of all.

Of course, Jiang Chen today had no time to think about this matter.

With his current abilities, this was all too abstract and unattainable for him at the moment. It was something he did not need to think about, for now.

The problem he was facing today was to increase his strength as much as possible to deal with the upcoming Hidden Dragon Trials. If he could not even pass the basic examination and earn the right to compete in the Examination, then his first step in this newly reincarnated life would be extremely miserable.
