The Fragrant Medicine House was high and mighty. Even the Eldest Princess and Crown Prince Dongfang Ding had to be courteous to them. Now, they were being reprimanded by a guest of the Lin Family.
He had already announced Jiang Tian's death sentence in his heart. After all, killing people in a sect completely disregarded the laws of the secular empire.
However, the Eldest Princess was present and Jiang Tian had the title of Imperial Physician. He could not directly attack or threaten him. He could only laugh coldly.
"Kid, don't be so arrogant! You're just an itinerant cultivator from a humble background. How dare you talk about the development of the Fragrant Medicine House? What a joke! I'll tell you frankly, without the Fragrant Medicine House to buy the Spiritual Herbs from the Spiritual Herb Garden, you can only rear pigs. "
"Is the Fragrant Medicine House so rich? Is your strength so terrifying? The Spiritual Herb Garden in Tiger Head Ridge occupies a half Spiritual Vein. You want to use it to rear pigs? How extravagant and wasteful. It's truly admirable! "
Right at this moment, a sarcastic voice sounded out. A middle-aged cultivator with a cold, arrogant, and overbearing expression walked in lazily with his hands behind his back.
He was clearly trying to tear down the Fragrant Medicine House.
The Purple Marquis stood up and slammed the table angrily. He shouted sternly, "Where are the guards? What's the use of keeping you? How dare you let an outsider in! Throw him out! "
"Marquis, please calm down!"
The guard commander following behind the middle-aged man hurriedly rushed forward and whispered something into Purple Marquis's ear.
When Purple Marquis heard this, his expression changed, and he hurriedly went up to greet him. His face was full of joy as he said apologetically, "I didn't expect the Third Hall Master of the Ancient Medicine Hall's Icebound City Branch to come in person. Please forgive this old man's poor eyesight, old man's poor eyesight! "
"What? It's the Third Hall Master of the Ancient Medicine Hall's Ice Sealed City Hall! "
"The Third Hall Master has been replaced?"
"The Ice Sealed City Hall is the second main hall of the Ancient Medicine Hall. The Third Hall Master is a big shot! "
"Why is he here?"
"Go go go, go greet him. It's good to get familiar with him!"
Many of the marquises stepped forward and bowed. Even the Eldest Princess went to greet him, her face filled with joy.
The Ancient Medicine Hall was the top sacred ground on the continent. There were many Semi-God Realm cultivators and Saints there. They could flatten a large country with a single order. That was terrifying enough.
More importantly, they were proficient in alchemy. There were oceans of divine pills and clouds of divine pills in the palace. These were essential items for the various feudal lords to raise their cultivation and nurture their disciples.
Not only in the Eastern Empire, but even in the entire Saint Origin World, there was a saying that if you offend the Hall of Ancient Medicine, you'll suffer a fate worse than death. If you climb up the Hall of Ancient Medicine, you'll reach the heavens in a single bound!
"Third Palace Master, you're here! Why didn't you tell me? "
On the other hand, the Fragrant Medicine House's House Master's face was filled with terror as he spoke in a submissive tone. In the eyes of the secular world, the Fragrant Medicine House could be considered a large and famous sect. However, compared to a colossus like the Ancient Medicine Hall, it paled in comparison. A branch hall of Icebound City was enough to crush them.
Third Hall Master Xing had an arrogant look on his face. He couldn't be bothered with Third Hall Master Xing. He chuckled and looked at Lin Hanqing.
"Marquis Lin, it's a waste to use a Half Spirit Vein to rear pigs. The Ancient Medicine Hall is willing to pay 200 million top-grade crystals a year to sign a contract with the Lin Family. Five years, no, ten years … no, you can fill in the number of years you want! "
What?
Everyone, including Purple Marquis, thought they had heard wrong. The Third Hall Master of the Ancient Medicine Hall's branch in Icebound City was willing to pay 10 million to sign a contract with the Lin Family?
If it were any other occasion, it wouldn't be a big deal to sign a contract and do business.
However, the Ancient Medicine Hall's actions were a slap in the face to Purple Marquis and the Fragrant Medicine House. They were openly supporting the Lin Family.
This was strange.
The Ancient Medicine Hall was the top sacred ground. Who didn't know how terrifying it was?
Who didn't know how shrewd and wise the Hall Masters and elders of the Ancient Medicine Hall were?
Under such circumstances, the Ancient Medicine Hall was making a loss by signing a contract with such generous conditions. If the Ancient Medicine Hall couldn't benefit from other aspects, why would they support the Lin Family?
When did the Lin Family of the Zhenyuan Marquis get on the good side of the Ancient Medicine Hall?
No one thought that the Zhenyuan Marquis was so influential or capable that the Ancient Medicine Hall would publicly support them just because of a half-spirit vein herb garden.
The Fragrant Medicine House's House Master's face turned ugly as he said coldly,
He said coldly, "Third Hall Master, what you're doing is inappropriate! However, you should know that the herb garden isn't worth 200 million top-grade crystals. You're willing to suffer a huge loss just to slap me in the face. Do you think Elder Gu and the Head Hall Master will agree? "
"You don't have to worry about that. So what if we lose money?"
Third Hall Master Xing snorted coldly in his heart. 'What do you know? The Heaven-Mending Pill alone brings tens of billions of top-grade crystals to the Hall of Ancient Medicine. Losing this little bit of money is nothing compared to pleasing Mr. Jiang. He said calmly, "That's right.
"Hall Master Wang, slap me in the face? Why do you say that? I clearly heard you say that you're ending your business with the Lin Family. If not, why would the Ancient Medicine Hall interfere? We know the rules of doing business. There's nothing wrong with us picking up a business that you don't want to do, right? "
The Fragrant Medicine House Master was tongue-tied and speechless.
Purple Marquis also looked embarrassed.
The Ancient Medicine Hall had spent 200 million top-grade crystals to rent the herb garden, but he only wanted to spend 10 million. His table manners were a little too unsightly.
However, he was very confused. He couldn't understand why the Ancient Medicine Hall would risk losing money to support the Zhenyuan Marquis' Lin Family. This was too strange!
However, Lin Hanqing knew that it was all because of Jiang Tian.
Looking at Purple Marquis and Landlord Wang's expression as if they had just swallowed a fly, Lin Hanqing's heart felt extremely carefree. He laughed heartily, beaming with joy, and said proudly, "Thank you, Landlord Wang, for terminating the contract with my Lin Family. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the opportunity to sit and collect 200 million in rent. I've doubled it in an instant! "
"I still have important matters to attend to. I'll take my leave first!"
Hall Master Wang was so embarrassed that he couldn't back down. He didn't have the face to stay and left angrily.
The Purple Marquis was very angry that the Ancient Medicine Hall had ruined his plan to rob the Marquis. However, he didn't dare to offend the Third Hall Master, so he pretended to be polite and said, "The Third Hall Master's arrival today brings light to our humble Marquis Mansion. Please take a seat and enjoy some wine!"
"Haha, thank you for your hospitality. However, I'm only here to discuss a business with Zhenyuan Marquis. Since we've already discussed it, there's no need for me to stay. Please contact me after the banquet and sign a rental contract! Everyone, please don't send me off. "
Third Hall Master Xing had his hands behind his back. His expression was arrogant and overbearing. He didn't care about people like Purple Marquis at all. He laughed and left the Marquis' Residence without giving him any face.
"They're willing to double the rent to rent the herb garden at Tiger Head Ridge. The Ancient Medicine Hall is clearly supporting Zhenyuan Marquis!"
"With the support of the Ancient Medicine Hall, won't Zhenyuan Marquis be able to make a comeback? From a chicken to a phoenix! "
"Of course, with the Ancient Medicine Hall, he'll have an endless supply of pills. With pills, the strength of the Zhenyuan Marquis' Residence will soar!"
"The situation has changed. It seems that the Lin family is going to rise among the southern feudal lords and surpass Purple Marquis. "
"We have to curry favor with Marquis Lin and hug his thigh. Through him, we might be able to get some precious pills from the Ancient Medicine Hall! "
"That's right. Zhenyuan Marquis is much better than Purple Marquis. It's not a loss to be friends with him. Purple Marquis is greedy by nature and easily takes things by force. Today, he took Zhenyuan Marquis. Who knows if he'll steal from us tomorrow? "
Many feudal lords who were close to Zhenyuan Marquis whispered and beamed with joy. They seemed to think highly of Zhenyuan Marquis.
Some feudal lords who were originally neutral seemed to be moved. They raised their cups and toasted Lin Hanqing from afar to express their congratulations and flattery.
Being keenly aware of these subtle changes, Purple Marquis's face suddenly turned ugly.
