Qing Yuan Guild Hall, Qing Ya Pavilion!
Feng Yun couldn't help but look proudly at Yu Haoran as he recalled how he'd used the Gao Clan, one of the aristocratic clans in Xianyang City, to forcefully drive one of the merchant guilds out of Xianyang City.
He believed that Yu Haoran would make a wise choice in the face of cruel reality.
"Feng Yun, you're right."
Yu Haoran nodded in agreement to Feng Yun's undisguised threat. However, there wasn't a trace of dejection on his face. He even had a trace of a smile on his face as he spoke.
"Merchant guilds compete in wealth and connections. The reason why your Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion is able to hold an absolute advantage in Emperor Qin's Kingdom is because you have the support of a powerful faction behind you."
At this point, Yu Haoran suddenly took a step forward. Although his tone was gentle, the meaning behind his words contained a strong killing intent.
"Feng Yun, do you believe that with my identity as Yu Haoran's Pill Dao Grandmaster and the grace of gifting me the antidote pill just now, both Third Prince Qin Tianyi and Xianyang City's number one clan Meng Sheng will give me some face?"
"If I ask them to become the backing of the other two merchant guilds, especially the merchant guilds that were driven out of Xianyang City by your Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, I'm sure they won't refuse such a good thing. The merchant guilds that return to Xianyang City will also properly thank you."
"Moreover, I believe that with Qin Tianyi and Meng Sheng's strong support, your Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion's dream of occupying Xianyang City and controlling the entire Emperor Qin's Kingdom's merchant guilds will soon be shattered."
"You dare!"
Whether it was Third Prince Qin Tianyi or Xianyang City's number one clan Meng Sheng, as long as they clearly expressed their support for a certain merchant guild, the Gao Clan would immediately abandon the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
Therefore, Feng Yun truly panicked when he heard Yu Haoran's counterattack.
At the same time, he'd never imagined that Yu Haoran, who wasn't even eighteen years old, would be so difficult to deal with. How could his experience and reaction be so outstanding?
"Feng Yun, there is nothing in this world that I, Yu Haoran, don't dare to do!" Yu Haoran threatened with a cold smile in the face of Feng Yun's rebuke.
"Grandmaster Yu, please don't misunderstand. Fengyun didn't mean to threaten you."
Jiang Yan, who had also heard Yu Haoran's threat, was really afraid that he would use his status as a Grandmaster and the favor of detoxification to help the other two chambers of commerce. This would be a fatal blow to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
If they lost Xianyang City, which they had developed for many years, or even the entire Emperor Qin Kingdom, not only would the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion's overall strength fall from the ranks of the top three merchant guilds, but the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion and the faction behind the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion would not let her and Feng Yun off.
Therefore, even if she was embarrassed to face Yu Haoran, Jiang Yan knew that she had to show up.
"I don't care if you're threatening me or not. But right now, you're the ones who need my help, not the other way around."
"So, you'd better treat me with respect and courtesy!"
In the face of Jiang Yan's persuasion, Yu Haoran immediately grew wary and restrained his overbearing aura.
After all, a vicious character like Jiang Yan could not be easily offended if he couldn't get rid of her immediately.
"Grandmaster Yu, we don't know much about you, and we don't know what you're lacking or what you really need."
Indicating for Feng Yun to step back, Jiang Yan forced a smile on her face and tried her best to keep her tone as calm as possible.
"So, we still need Grandmaster Yu to provide us with a set of conditions for the transaction."
"Vice Pavilion Master Jiang, how many detoxification pills does the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion need?"
Although Hu Bing had said that Feng Yun had initially planned to trade 126 antidote pills with him, after the fierce fight over the 36 antidote pills and witnessing the entire process of him refining the antidote pills, Feng Yun was certain that they would change the number of pills.
So, in order to avoid offending Jiang Yan too much and causing her to take revenge on him in the short term, Yu Haoran needed to know the number of pills the other party had to trade so that he could make his request.
Hearing Yu Haoran ask for the exact number of pills, Jiang Yan was delighted. She hurriedly excused herself and indicated for Feng Yun to go to a corner of the courtyard to discuss the number of detoxification pills.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Haoran immediately cupped his fists and apologized to Xiang Wenxuan with a smile on his face.
"Senior Xiang, I'm really sorry. There were too many chores just now and I neglected you!"
"Grandmaster Yu, you're too polite!"
In the face of Yu Haoran's apology, Xiang Wenxuan was courteous and took the initiative to explain how alchemists got along.
"Grandmaster Yu, there's an unwritten rule among us alchemists. That is, alchemists don't care about age or cultivation. Only the depth of one's alchemy is important.
"Now, your alchemy cultivation is not inferior to mine, so you and I can address each other as equals.
"Since that's the case, then I, Yu Haoran, will be thick-skinned and call you Brother Xiang!"
After decades of friendship in his previous life, Yu Haoran understood Xiang Wenxuan's character very well. He knew that Xiang Wenxuan was not the kind of person who liked excessive formalities. He also knew that Xiang Wenxuan had a very strong impulse to befriend his peers who had talent in alchemy.
Otherwise, he would not have befriended the notorious Vicious Sword Emperor who had entered the Dao of Dao through poison in his previous life.
"Okay!"
"Haha … Then I'll call you Brother Yu!"
Seeing Yu Haoran's attitude, Xiang Wenxuan laughed happily. In his heart, he felt much closer to Yu Haoran.
"Brother Yu, I have three presumptuous requests."
"If I offend you because of this, I hope you can forgive me."
The straightforward Xiang Wenxuan felt that Yu Haoran was a person who was easy to get along with, so he immediately asked the three questions that he wanted to ask.
"Brother Xiang, go ahead!" Nodding his head, Yu Haoran gestured for him to start the interrogation.
"Brother Yu, if I'm not wrong, this pill furnace should be the Natal Magic Tool left behind by the Pill Saint, Miao Zun!" Pointing at the pill furnace that Yu Haoran did not put away, Xiang Wenxuan suppressed a trace of nervousness in his voice as he asked.
"Brother Xiang, you have good eyesight. This pill furnace is the Natal Magic Tool left behind by the Pill Saint, Miao Zun, a hundred thousand years ago!" Yu Haoran confirmed with a nod.
Yu Haoran was not surprised that Xiang Wenxuan was able to recognize the origin of the pill furnace.
In his previous life, the reason why he knew about the Pill Saint, Miao Zun, and the shape of his Natal Magic Tool was because of Xiang Wenxuan.
"It's really that pill furnace!"
After receiving Yu Haoran's confirmation, the excited Xiang Wenxuan began to circle around the pill furnace. He looked as if he wanted to touch it with his own hands, but he was afraid that Yu Haoran would be angry.
