After school, Li Jinghua originally wanted to go to the E World Internet Cafe to play for a bit, but when Zhao An said that he had a bad smell and would be smothered, Li Jinghua gave up and decided to go home.
Ma Shilong had an expression of crying for his father's life. He could only pray that Ma Yunxiong had come home too late and hadn't found him at home last night.
Zhao An and Li Qingge left together after school. Since Li Qingge was going to eat dessert, Zhao An would go to the Eight Mai Hall. It just happened to be along the way.
Zhang Jiaqing was still outside the school gates. However, there was one more person. Zhao An had seen him before, and he remembered seeing a shopkeeper from the Bajie Hall. There was also a brand-new black Audi parked by the side.
"Zhao An, can we have a chat now?" Zhang Jiaqing still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't have the slightest impatience from waiting for Zhao An to arrive.
"Alright, let's go to the dessert shop and have a chat while we eat." Zhao An didn't continue to put on an act. Compared to Zhang Jiaquan, he could tell what Zhang Jiaquan was thinking. There was no need for Zhao An to be overly reserved. After all, Zhang Jiaquan had shown his sincerity.
Zhao An told the driver the address of the dessert shop. The shopkeeper sat in the front passenger seat while Zhao An, Zhang Jiaquan and Li Qingge sat in the back.
The rear row of the Audi was quite spacious, as the three people weren't crowded. Zhang Jiqing was seated at the back, while Li Qingge wasn't willing to sit next to Zhang Jiaquan. Therefore, Zhao An could only sit in the middle, while Li Qingge sat on the outside.
After sitting down, Li Qingge stretched her legs. Only then did Zhao An notice that her socks had been pulled down and her skirt had been pulled up, revealing her snow-white thighs and skin.
It was no wonder that many scenes of harassment, flirtation or sexual insinuations began when a man touched a woman's thigh … This kind of alluring beauty, it really made people want to experience it uncontrollably.
Li Qingge didn't notice that Zhao An was looking at his thighs. He habitually pulled at his socks and tidied up his skirt, concealing the spring sunshine for a moment.
"Zhao An, I have completely confirmed that the Baohua Spiritual Replenishing Pill is the real deal … And it seems to be even purer than the medicine described in the records. " Zhang Jiaqing exclaimed.
"Yes, this Baohua Spiritual Replenishing Pill should be considered of the highest quality. Even if an ancient master of medicine were to refine it, he still might not be able to refine such an exquisite pill." Zhao An nodded. "After all, many of the ancient medicine's conditions are not as modern as they seem."
"I never thought that there would still be a real Baohua Spiritual Replenishing Pill in a few hundred years. I always thought that this kind of medicinal pellet would disappear from this world." "Those people who have devoted their entire lives to researching Baohua Spiritual Enhancing Pills, if they were to know about it in the underworld, it would be considered a form of consolation." Zhang Jiaqing sighed, "I would never have thought that I would be able to witness and personally play with a top-grade treasure pill in my lifetime. One must know that for hundreds of years, many emperors have not had such good fortune."
"That's true... No emperor in history has had the luck to get into a car, except, oh, an instrument. " Zhao An joked.
"Cut the crap and get straight to business." Li Qingge didn't like to speak in such a roundabout manner. This Zhao An was clearly a high school student, but his speech was the same as his father's.
Zhang Jiqing smiled, "Little girl, that's not a lie..." It's just that I've been in this industry for most of my life and witnessed a miracle in this industry.
"What's there to lament about? "I saw him make it. He just needed to cook it." Of course, Li Qingge knew that the truth was not that simple. However, he couldn't let Zhao An be too complacent.
"Did you really refine it yourself?" Although Zhang Jiaqing was mentally prepared, he was still very surprised. He had originally thought that Zhao An would have experts guiding him from behind, or that he would have the support of a team. Zhao An definitely did not come up with this.
His words would leave a bit of trust in Zhang Jiaqing, but this girl was different. It wasn't that she didn't have any schemes, but that with her personality and temperament, it was easy to tell if what she just said was true or not.
"Yes, I told you at the beginning that I would refine it." "What, the pills are already in your hands, do you still not believe?" Zhao An said with a smile, but he didn't really concentrate on talking to Zhang Jiaqing.
Li Qingge didn't notice that her legs were next to Zhao An's. Even though they were separated by a pair of pants, he could still feel the warmth of her skin, which made Zhao An's mind wander.
Zhao An wouldn't ignore the allure of Li Qingge's body. In fact, in the beginning, Zhao An really didn't pay any attention to this, but the more they got along, the more natural it became for them to get along. They didn't intentionally avoid each other, and instead, it was easier for Zhao An to sense the sexy scent on her body.
"I believe you..." Zhang Jiqing could only force himself to believe that this was truly not an easy matter.
Zhang Jiaqing could not help but size up Zhao An again. He looked no different from his grandson, an ordinary high school student. Who would have thought that he would solve such a difficult problem that no one in the field of traditional Chinese medicine or medicine could solve for hundreds of years?
It was just like those famous math problems that suddenly exploded with news of a high school student or university student solving a math problem in a certain world. When people noticed the protagonist, they would always have a feeling of incredulity.
However, it was different from solving those difficult math problems. Compared to the results of those Yang Chunxue and its far too distant meaning, the refinement of Baohua Spiritual Brewing Pills was the most practical and the most direct method that could have a huge impact.
The questions that had remained unanswered for hundreds of years were solved by him? Wasn't this because after hundreds of years, countless people had come and gone without a solution? It was just because these people couldn't compare to him, yet he was able to surpass them in a single go?
Or was it just a coincidence? This sort of luck was enough to make one feel proud. One must know that luck was also an important element in success.
"According to the ancient records, Baohua Spiritfount Pill's refinement process is not that difficult. However, many of the minor details are the key to success or failure." Zhang Jiaqing paused for a moment before asking, "Zhao An, do you have any more refining plans?"
"Of course, Master Zhang, you should also be clear that Baohua Spiritual Replenishing Pill is not an immortal elixir that can be consumed for a long period of time. Only by taking it for a long time will it have a true impact on the consumer's health." Zhao An nodded. This was also the reason why he gave a pill to Zhang Jiaqing without any hesitation, without worrying that Zhang Jiaqing wouldn't cooperate with him if he got one. "Aside from the difficulty of making Baohua Spiritualization Pill, on the other hand, because of the high cost of the materials, ordinary people would find it hard to even bear the cost of the raw materials, let alone the successfully refined Baohua Spiritualization Pill. "I think that in all of history, there were very few people who succeeded, and some of the materials were expensive, so there was no way to conduct mass experiments. This limited the number of experiments and created obstacles that could affect the efficiency of the experiments."
"I only managed to successfully refine one out of 10,000 pieces. It's indeed worthy of being called expensive." Naturally, Zhang Jiaqing was clear on the materials that he had personally handed to Zhao An.
"Two... "One for you, the other one. We'll eat it." Zhao An pointed at himself and Li Qingge.
"What? You gave one to him, but we only ate one together?" When Li Qingge heard this, she was immediately dissatisfied. Although Zhao An had initially said that he was buying two sets of ingredients and Li Qingge had known about it, she didn't care about this. Naturally, she assumed that the two of them had each eaten one.
"You even managed to cause such a huge commotion by absorbing half of the pellet. What's the point of directly giving you one?" Zhao An was indignant. He seemed to be planning to jump out of the car and refuse to have dessert with Zhao An, so he ignored him and said this to Li Qingge.
That was true... Li Qingge was still unwilling to accept this. Zhao An had actually given him more than he had given her, and she was simply unbalanced. Luckily, Zhao An didn't drop an entire pill on Ye Luo. He was only left with half of it.
When he thought about how Ye Luoluo had not eaten Baohua Spirit Restoring Pills before, Li Qingge's mood brightened up again.
"After consuming this Baohua Spirit Replenishing Pill, you're still reacting?" Zhang Jiaqing asked in concern.
Li Qingge's face immediately flushed red, "What body reaction? Why are you asking this!?"
This old fogey!
Zhang Jiaquan was baffled. What was there to ask?
"She usually takes other drugs as well. The effect of Baohua Spiritual Replenishing Pill is too fast, so she can't slowly absorb them. Therefore, her body isn't used to it, so she can just use the effects." Zhao An explained and dispelled Zhang Jiaqing's worry.
"So that's how it is." Zhang Jiaqing could understand this, but he could tell that this young girl was radiating with a type of vitality. Her blood and Qi was of a very good color, and there must be some sort of special treatment, so this shouldn't be the effect of half a Baohua Spirit Restoration Pill in such a short period of time.
"You and her are also planning to take Baohua Spiritual Brewing Pills for a long period of time, right?" Zhang Jiaqing asked again.
"I don't want to eat it, it's so bad." Li Qingge looked out of the window and said.
However, Zhao An ignored her. He nodded and continued, "We plan to consume it for a long time."
Li Qingge had to go head to head with Zhao An at all times. Zhao An knew her awkward personality, and with her determination to defeat Zhao An's ambitions, she would only be able to achieve her ambitions if she ate more Baohua Spiritual Enhancing Pills. How could she resist such an opportunity?
"This is not easy..." Zhang Jiqing relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair.
Just now, Zhang Jiaqing had been leaning forward, maintaining a relatively weak posture while putting himself at a very low position. The change in his posture naturally indicated another kind of posture, as the topic had changed to something that he had the capital to talk about.
But could he really become strong? Zhao An didn't think so.
Seeing that Zhao An didn't say anything, Zhang Jiaqing continued, "Not to mention the precious materials used in the refining, these materials can't be bought easily with money. Seeing Zhao An not to say anything, Zhang Jiaqing continued," The materials used in the refining can't be said to be valuable, and these materials can't be bought easily with money.
Li Qingge scoffed at him when she heard this, but she was too lazy to interrupt. Just now, when Li Qingge was recalling her body's reaction to the pill, the reaction from it was really humiliating. It couldn't be that she wouldn't eat it once in the future, right?
If he was alone, he would have been alright. If Zhao An had come to his rescue every time, he would have reacted strangely when Zhao An pressed his stomach. He might as well dig a hole and burrow in!
There was nothing more humiliating than this scene!
"That is indeed the case. Furthermore, I hope that I can give it to my family, so the amount will be even more. " Zhao An said with a troubled expression.
"How about this." Seeing that Zhao An did not take the initiative to set the conditions, Zhang Jiqing could not help but say, "I can help you. The Eight Mai Hall has the materials. You have the crafting skills, so we can work together."
Zhao An looked at Zhang Jiaqing with interest. "How can we work together?"
"I will provide you the materials. You can refine a successfully refined Baohua Mind Nurturing Pill. We will split it evenly. How about it?" Zhang Jiaqing leaned forward once again. Since Zhao An did not take the initiative to ask for his help, he could only ask for it himself.
"What a good idea!" Zhao An couldn't help but laugh out loud. He slapped his own thigh and started laughing loudly.
Zhang Jiaqing was stunned for a moment before also smiling. The wrinkles on his face were all filled with smiles, as if they were all happy to cooperate with each other, mutually benefiting each other.
An old fox was an old fox. The so-called "avarice and avarice" was not something to be trifled with. Zhang Jiaquan's wishful thinking could not be any better, but Zhao An was not an idiot either!
However, Zhao An was not angry. In the business world, merchants were used to reducing costs to maximize their profits. That was the so-called asking for a sky-high price to pay back on the spot.
"I can agree to your conditions. Give me the materials and I'll refine them." Seeing the happy expression on Zhang Jiaquan's face, Zhao An held out five fingers and said, "However, every time I successfully refine one, you must give me another 500,000 yuan."
Li Qingge turned his head around. He didn't realize Zhao An was asking so loudly. Although five hundred thousand wasn't a lot in Li Qingge's eyes, but the materials were only five thousand and it would cost five hundred thousand when it was made. This … Li Qingge suddenly felt that Zhao An was a profiteer that was on par with Lin Nan Xiu.
Compared to Li Qingge's calmness, Zhang Jiaqing was unable to calmly face this number. After focusing for a while, he once again confirmed, "Are you talking about five hundred thousand?"
"Yes, five hundred thousand yuan. Not in dollars, and certainly not in yen." Zhao An's five fingers shook.
Zhang Jiqing slapped his thigh and said very excitedly, "You're really childish. How can you ask for such a high price? Do you know what 500,000 is? This Audi is only worth 500,000! "
"Since you have the cheek to say that you'll trade with me for the ingredients, then of course I have the face to say five hundred thousand." Zhao An was not excited and said with a smile.
After being stabbed by Zhao An, Zhang Jiaqing felt slightly embarrassed. He refused to let go and said, "This won't do. I can't accept the fact that the cost of materials is 5000 yuan and the price of the materials is 500,000 yuan."
"Old Master Zhang, I feel that there is nothing that I can't accept. In fact, the materials were priceless, the technology priceless. Just as the country needed to train a pilot, the cost was equivalent to the weight of the pilot's gold. To the state, pilots are also worth more than tens of millions of yuan or U.S. dollar fighter jets. "What is the reason for this?" Zhao An asked.
"This is not a concept." Having witnessed the materials in his warehouse going up a hundredfold as soon as he switched hands, Zhang Jiaqing could not accept this in his heart. He felt that his refusal was justified.
"A Baohua Spiritual Brewing Pill costs five hundred thousand, which sounds very expensive. However, this thing could not be eaten as a meal. Every day, they would eat it for every meal. Generally speaking, for someone your age and body like Old Master Zhang, taking just one per month is enough. To fully absorb all of these medicinal effects, you'll need at least a month. After one year, your body will naturally have a great improvement. The following course of treatment will reduce the frequency of consumption to three months, one pill per half a year, one pill per year, one pill per few years, one pill per ten years … "If that's the case, you won't even need ten million yuan to survive for a hundred years." Zhao An and Zhang Jiaquan calculated the price and finally said, "Master Zhang, can you tell anyone who can afford to buy a healthy 100 years' lifespan for 10 million? Who would say 10 million isn't worth it?"
However, as someone who had crawled and crawled on the market for most of his life, he had been completely dominated by Zhao An during the negotiations. He was in a passive situation, which made Zhang Jiaquan feel that he had to make some efforts to fight back and negotiate business. How could he let the other party say whatever it was and let them take the lead?
"Ten million for a long life is indeed nothing..."
"Old Master Zhang." After Zhao An interrupted Zhang Jiaqing, the car stopped and arrived outside the dessert shop. Zhao An pointed at the dessert shop and said to Zhang Jiaqing, "I'm not talking business with you. Just treat me as a doctor, give me 10 million, and I'll ensure your longevity." "This is my offer. If you are willing to accept, we will then go back to the dessert shop and eat while chatting. If you are unwilling to accept, thank you for sending us here. Goodbye."
Li Qingge had already pushed open the door and got out of the car, minding his own business as he walked towards the dessert shop. Zhao An got out of the car first and waited outside the door.
"Zhao An, help me!" Zhang Jiaqing didn't bother with the driver as he opened the door from the other side. Instead, he bent over and stretched out his hand towards Zhao An.
