Eps. 50 — Miou Clan Cooperation
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly at the reaction of the two women in front of him, making the pills at his age right now was indeed too strange so it was only natural that they were surprised.
Being an alchemist was more difficult than being a swordsman, in contrast to a swordsman who only practiced strengthening the body and learned techniques, an alchemist was not so.
Ninety-nine percent of alchemists had to use their brains, they learned a lot from memorizing herbs and their uses, combining some plant elements into a resource pill until the last pill in the furnace.
All three stages must be mastered by an alchemist and to know and understand them takes years of learning.
If Jian Chen at 14 could actually concoct his pill it was already quite shocking yet this was more than that, Jian Chen made a new pill concoction that someone who was already at the Master's alchemist level usually did.
Not even all master alchemists could do the same, concocting a new type of pill needed months of research and testing before it was worth consuming and being used as a resource pill.
Jian Chen scratched his non-itchy head, he felt exaggerated that this was a new concoction even though the Blue Moon pill did not exist in Qianshan City yet. This pill recipe came from his teacher in his previous life.
“I made this new concoction from my teacher's recipe, the Blue Moon pill is one of the concoctions from him.” Jian Chen coughed slowly then explained.
Jian Chen's explanation made Miou Yue and Miou Lin so understanding the situation, it was indeed impossible for a new concoction to be made by a person who was a dozen years old according to him regardless of Jian Chen's ability to make pills so high.
Miou Lin now looked at Jian Chen with a different assessment, “Junior Jian Chen then what about your skill at making pills?”
“I learned everything from him, what I do now is the result of my teacher's teaching.”
Miou Lin's eyebrows shot up, even though it was still an alchemist at a young age with high expertise like this was still a strange thing. His nephew alone, Miou Yue had already learned alchemist when he was a child but his abilities would not be as high as Jian Chen's.
Except Jian Chen studied alchemist while he was conceived by his parents.
“If I may find out, Junior Jian Chen, what is your teacher's name?”
Jian Chen smiled faintly, “My teacher did not want to be named to the others, as my teacher ordered while searching for me.”
Susana was silent for an instant because Miou Lin was confused as to what kind of behavior, Miou Lin turned her head towards her nephew. “Yue’er, can you bring herbs in the Association shop down the street, I need the ingredients, please bring this here now.”
Miou Lin gave the paper a list of herbs that Miou Yue had to carry.
“Good, Aunt, I will be there, then Brother Jian I leave for a moment.” Miou Yue then leave her house.
Now at home there were only Miou Lin and Jian Chen, Miou Lin's departure was only an alibi so that she could be alone with Jian Chen.
“Junior Jian can we talk for a minute?”
Jian Chen nodded. “Of course, Mrs Miou, I don't mind.”
Miou Lin brought Jian Chen to a place more comfortable to talk to.
“Junior Jian I was frank about the pill you made, if this pill can work up to 30% as it looks maybe this pill is the most valuable pill in Qianshan City.”
Miou Lin's explanation was quite Jian Chen understood, the pill in this city that was at its best quality now only worked 20%.
Arguably, no pill had a performance of up to 30% like the pill Jian Chen had made.
Jian Chen's expression changed, his gaze becoming colder which was enough to make Miou Lin gulp down let alone when staring at Jian Chen's golden eyes.
“Mrs Miou, you underestimated me?! If this pill is sold then the price is not more than 10 gold pieces, in Qianshan City there are one million more residents and you want to sell it 10,000 gold pieces.” Jian Chen shook his fist slowly.
Hearing that Miou Lin did not even dare to stare at Jian Chen, he thought that with 10,000 pieces was enough to make a child his age happy yet Jian Chen was not as stupid as he looked.
‘This child, why his body aura changed.’.
His instincts said that Miou Lin should not offend Jian Chen or even fool him.
“Then how about 100,000 thousand pieces of gold?”
“Monya Miou joking..” Jian Chen's tone was much colder than the beginning. “I actually do not want to sell this recipe but even if I do then I sell it for 1 million pieces of gold.”
Miou Lin coughed, he did not expect Jian Chen to bid such a high price. For his clan 1 million gold pieces was indeed no big deal but getting them out would have to require the approval of the other Miou clan Elders.
“Junior Jian, it's too high how about we cooperate.” Miou Yue had other plans.
“Cooperate? What does madam mean?”
“Like this, how than I bought a pill recipe it's better we split his two earnings. Junior Jian may be an alchemist but now you have no means to sell it, not to mention the materials and tools to make it have no.”
Jian Chen clapped his finger slowly on the table, thinking of Miou Lin's plan which sounded good. “What if the Miou clan association lies, for example cutting my income?”
“Junior Jian, we are from Miou clan, we have a promise to ourselves that anyone who cooperates with Miou clan will be treated kindly and properly without stealing the rights from him.”
Miou Lin was not saying nonsense, his clan had already cooperated a lot with the other party if they were to commit fraud once then the trust of the party cooperating with the Miou clan would collapse.
This was bad for the Miou clan itself.
On the other hand Jian Chen smiled widely in his heart, this was already in his scenario. Since the beginning Jian Chen did want this cooperation but if he were to bid first then Miou Lin would still take it for granted.
If Miou Lin was put in a position that required Jian Chen then the story was different again, Jian Chen pretended to sell expensively so that Miou Lin realized working with him was not enough with just a verbal seduction alone, just for example, there are various aspects including other considerations.
Jian Chen finally accepted the offer.
“Junior Jian, I must first discuss this with the other Elders of the Miou clan, I guarantee they will agree to it within 2 days.” Miou Yue then placed down the pill that Jian Chen had made. “And for this pill we will divide the result in half part..”
“No need..” Jian Chen cut. “I only need 30% percent of it does not have to be half.”
Miou Lin stared for a moment, she had to hear it twice if she did not hear wrong.
“Thirty percent is enough for me, the rest of the Miou clan have.” Jian Chen smiled, reassuring his words.
Miou Lin was very happy to hear that, he thought Jian Chen was an infatuated person with money like most people. Although Miou Lin himself was quite difficult to accept that he was negotiating with a 14-year-old teenager.
