77: I can't laugh

Lord Luo heard this, felt a bit awkward, coughed twice, and then spoke.

"Actually, it's nothing major. It's just that the Family Head heard that Young Master Feng's Alchemy is superb and that you are already a Sixth-Grade Alchemist at such a young age, so he wishes to make your acquaintance."

"With such a young talent like Young Master Feng, once your reputation spreads, the entrance to the Feng Family will surely be bustling with visitors."

"You don't need to tell me that; anyone knows that!"

Feng Ming interrupted Luo Meng.

"Get straight to the point. How does your Family Head want to make this acquaintance?"

"I wonder how Young Master Feng would like to make this acquaintance?" Luo Meng asked in return.

Feng Ming smiled.

"Does what I think matter? What matters is what your Huangfu Family thinks."

Luo Meng chuckled. The youth before him was not old, yet he couldn't gain the slightest advantage in his words.

Finally, he could only say,

"The Family Head has words for me to pass on to Young Master Feng: Although the Medicinal Pill market in Liumian Prefecture is occupied by the Feng Family, it is ultimately a tiny place. If the Feng Family wishes to grow and develop, why not consider cooperating with the Huangfu Family?"

"Our Huangfu Family has a powerful team of Alchemists. Young Master Feng only needs to be responsible for providing the Pill Formula, and we will be responsible for the Alchemy. We will then monopolize the Medicinal Pill business in Qingyang City and the surrounding areas, and we will split the profits fifty-fifty."

Luo Meng leaned toward Feng Ming with an excited expression and said, "This is the first time a Family has been able to get a fifty-fifty profit split with the Huangfu Family."

"What does Young Master Feng think of this sincerity?"

Feng Ming smiled and nodded. "Indeed, this sincerity is quite sufficient."

"But, in your eyes, am I, Feng Ming, truly as stupid as a pig?"

Hearing this, the smile on Luo Meng's face instantly stiffened.

"Young Master Feng, what do you mean by that?"

"Heh, don't play dumb. What you just said could indeed allow our Feng Family to earn quite a lot of money in a short time, but that is useless. How many people does our Feng Family have? Faced with mountains of wealth, how could we protect it?"

"The most important point is that I provide the Pill Formula, and you are responsible for the Alchemy. If the Huangfu Family is in a good mood, you cooperate with us; if you are in a bad mood, or after you get the Pill Formula, you discard us like a worn-out shoe or burn the bridge after crossing it. How is my Feng Family supposed to protect itself?"

Luo Meng regained his composure and said, "The Family Head considered Young Master Feng's concerns and said that we can swear a Blood Oath that we will absolutely not burn the bridge after crossing it."

Feng Ming smiled. "Your Family Head is clever, but by cooperating with you, we lose so much money for no reason. If you can support Alchemists, can't my Feng Family support them too?"

"How much does it cost to support Alchemists? Am I sick in the head to split profits fifty-fifty with your Huangfu Family?"

"You!"

Luo Meng was immediately triggered by Feng Ming's retort.

That's right! As long as one isn't brain-damaged, who wouldn't see through the stakes involved?

Feng Ming possessed the core, ten-fold yield, perfect Pill Formula.

As long as the Pill Formula was in his hands, spending money to hire Alchemists would be a venture with ten thousand times the profit.

Why would he want to cooperate with others and split the profits?

That would be crazy!

Luo Meng's expression gradually darkened.

"It seems that Young Master Feng does not want to cooperate with our Huangfu Family. Do you know the consequences of offending the Huangfu Family?"

Seeing him triggered, Feng Ming continued, "Don't lose your temper yet. Let me finish speaking. The Huangfu Family is powerful, and my Feng Family does not want to become enemies. Cooperation is not impossible."

Luo Meng's voice was cold. "How do you want to talk?"

"Change the cooperation model. The Huangfu Family only performs Alchemy, then wholesales to the managers of Pill Workshops in various places, thereby saving a large amount of shop rent. At the same time, each distributor pays cash directly when purchasing Medicinal Pills, which can also accelerate the Huangfu Family's capital return and reduce potential risks!"

"I like this model very much. My idea is that the Huangfu Family should transfer its entire Alchemist team to our Feng Family!"

"From now on, our Feng Family will be responsible for Alchemy, and the Huangfu Family can purchase Medicinal Pills from our Feng Family, just like other Pill Workshop managers!"

"And, in consideration of our cooperation, I can give you a price 10% lower than the market price."

"How about it?"

After Feng Ming finished asking, he felt a killing intent permeate the air.

Luo Meng's voice was cold. "Greedy and insatiable. A tiny Feng Family actually dares to covet the dominant position of my Huangfu Family in the Medicinal Pill market."

"You really don't fear death!"

"I do! Who wouldn't fear death?" Feng Ming said.

"But fearing death doesn't mean we are willing to be stepping stones for your Huangfu Family, letting you trample us into the mud."

"You!"

Hearing this, Luo Meng basically understood that it was impossible for Feng Ming to cooperate with their Huangfu Family!

Because the cooperation methods they both proposed were completely opposite, and there was absolutely no room for negotiation.

Feng Ming said helplessly, "Lord Luo, I have said everything I should. If you want to take action, do it. If you aren't going to, I'm going back to hold my wife and sleep."

Luo Meng was completely dumbfounded. What kind of reason was that?

Feng Ming gave him a look that said, 'You don't understand.'

"Lord Luo isn't married yet, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be doing such dangerous things."

"Why don't you find a young lady to marry and settle down? Don't be like that bunch of shameless people in the Huangfu Family, who only know how to daydream."

"Feng Ming! Do you know what you are saying?"

Luo Meng's expression turned completely icy.

Feng Ming said seriously,

"Is there anything that can't be said? Or is it that you have some hidden ailment? As for that, our Feng Family does have Medicinal Pills. How about I give you a couple?"

"Hmph, not needed. A Cultivator should prioritize cultivation; thinking about women all day will only hinder one's cultivation."

Feng Ming was startled and scanned Luo Meng up and down.

"Tsk tsk, the joy of having a wife is not something 'Miss Five-Fingers' can replace."

"I don't need it!"

Luo Meng's face turned dark, and he snorted coldly, "Since it has come to this, and Young Master Feng is unwilling to cooperate, then we shall part ways here."

After saying this, Luo Meng turned and left without the slightest hesitation!

"Ah? Leaving already? Not going to chat more about that matter? Our Feng Family really has Medicinal Pills that can treat it!"

"Don't give up on treatment!"

Luo Meng quickened his pace and left.

In the main hall, Jiang Shuwan and the others were already laughing until their stomachs hurt.

"I really couldn't tell, Brother-in-law is actually so good at making people angry. That Luo Meng looks quite old, and his talent is mediocre. Telling him to take a wife is simply wasting his life."

Lu Qianqian said with a smile.

Jiang Shuwan gave a strange look at the sisters, Lu An'an and Lu Qianqian.

These two hadn't married yet, so there were some things they simply didn't understand.

Once they had experienced it, they would naturally understand the joy her husband spoke of.

However, she couldn't say it now.

The other members of the Feng Family were not as happy as these three young ladies. Feng Ming had broken off negotiations with the other party, which meant that the Feng Family would have to face the raging storm of the Huangfu Family next.

Whether the Feng Family could survive this crisis was unknown.

Therefore, they really couldn't laugh.
