75: Chapter 75 An Astonishing Move

Zhao Shan lowered his voice and said, "Brother Wang, the President has already dispatched Vice President Liu with those three hundred Medicinal Pills bestowed by the Master, traveling day and night to Qinghe Prefecture. Additionally, the President asked me to give you a heads-up... Lin Yu, the third Young Master of the Lin Family, seems to have been inquiring about you recently."

"Lin Yu?" Su Chengyuan's brows furrowed slightly.

"Yes, Lin Feng's third elder brother," Zhao Shan explained. "I heard Lin Feng has been making significant moves within the Family lately, which caught his brother's attention. Word is that Lin Yu is a petty and vengeful man who uses ruthless methods. Since you are associating with young brother Lin Feng, you should be more cautious."

Su Chengyuan nodded. "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Zhao. I've noted it."

After seeing Zhao Shan off, Su Chengyuan returned to the inn and went straight to his son's room.

"Father, was that Zhao Shan who just came?"

"Mhm," Su Chengyuan responded, then handed over the Storage Pouch filled with Spirit Medicine. "This was sent by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce."

Su Cheng took it and swept his Mental Energy inside. Even he couldn't help but look at the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in a new light.

Nine hundred sets of first-tier spiritual herbs were piled up like a mountain, and they had even been specifically categorized. The efficiency and boldness of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce were even higher than he had anticipated.

"There's one more thing." Su Chengyuan waited until he finished his inspection before relaying Zhao Shan's warning. "Lin Feng's third brother, Lin Yu, seems to be investigating us in secret."

Su Cheng put away the Storage Pouch, his expression not changing much.

"Lin Yu?" After a brief thought, he understood the crux of the matter and said casually, "When one rabbit gets a carrot, naturally more than one rabbit will be envious. This was already within expectations."

Seeing that his son didn't take it to heart, Su Chengyuan became a bit anxious. "But if he interferes and affects our subsequent cooperation with the Lin Family..."

"Father, this matter has nothing to do with us," Su Cheng interrupted him, his tone very calm. "You must understand that Lin Feng is currently just our business partner. We gave him the chance to soar to the heavens, so he must have the ability to protect this Opportunity.

If he can't even settle a small storm within his own Family, then he isn't worth our continued investment. The Prefecture City doesn't have only one Spirit Medicine Family like the Lins."

"It's also a good chance for us to see just how much courage this Lin Feng actually has."

Su Chengyuan stood stunned upon hearing this, his mind suddenly clearing.

"Then... what should I do?"

"You don't need to do anything," Su Cheng said. "In a few days, go to the Hundred Herbs Hall and act as if you know nothing about this. These first-tier spiritual herbs provided by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce are enough for now; it's time to formally discuss cooperation regarding second-tier spiritual herbs with Lin Feng."

"second-tier spiritual herbs?" Su Chengyuan's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes." Su Cheng nodded. "The Lin Family has a large business and great assets, and besides, the first-tier spiritual herb business is handled by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. This visit is to formally negotiate cooperation for second-tier spiritual herbs with him."

He paused and continued in a calm tone, "Go tell him that we have a long-term, stable procurement demand for the Spirit Medicine required to refine the foundation establishment pill."

"You also need to make him understand that this cooperation is just the beginning. If he can prove himself to be a stable and reliable partner, then the scale of future cooperation will only grow larger, even beyond his imagination."

"I understand." Su Chengyuan nodded.

Presumably, to firmly grasp this big business, Lin Feng would spare no expense to clear all obstacles blocking his path.

"Alright, Father, go Cultivate," Su Cheng waved his hand. "These Spirit Medicines will keep me busy for a while."

Having said that, he ignored the outside disturbances. After his father left, he summoned the qiankun creation furnace.

With a thought, the furnace fire rose, and sets of Spirit Medicine were precisely tossed inside.

To him, nothing brought more peace of mind than increasing his strength.

Another ten days passed.

Su Cheng finally finished refining one hundred sets each of the three types of Medicinal Pill Materials sent by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

Looking at the mountain of jade bottles in the Storage Pouch, even he was somewhat tongue-tied.

At the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, refining these first-rank pills was already second nature to him.

Not to mention that the Qi of Creation in his body had reached over six thousand strands, even his mental exhaustion was much less than during the Early Stage of Qi Refining.

After refining continuously for ten days, he was only slightly fatigued.

If this efficiency were to be known, the entire Tianlan Province would probably go mad for it.

He didn't stop. After handing the pills to his father for safekeeping, he sent someone to invite Fang Zhenhai of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce for a meeting.

At the same time, Su Chengyuan also finished his cultivation and, in the identity of 'Wang Lin,' arrived at that quiet Hundred Herbs Hall in the west of the city.

Having not seen him for several days, Lin Feng looked haggard all over, with dark circles under his eyes; he clearly hadn't slept well for many days.

He had been guarding this small shop every day, his heart in turmoil, both anticipating Su Chengyuan's arrival and fearing his hopes would be dashed.

When he saw that familiar figure push the door and enter, his whole being seemed to instantly come alive, and he hurried forward to greet him.

"Senior Wang! You've finally come!" Lin Feng's voice carried a trace of trembling.

"Something came up and delayed me." Su Chengyuan sat in the back hall and got straight to the point. "How are things proceeding?"

"It's settled!" Lin Feng perked up and said quickly, "I have already persuaded my father! As long as we can complete the first transaction within a month, he will support me! It's just..."

He showed a look of difficulty. "It's just that this first transaction must have enough weight to convince those elders in the Family."

"You don't need to worry about that," Su Chengyuan said with a wave of his hand. "I have already settled things with President Fang of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. They will step forward to procure a batch of second-tier spiritual herbs from your Lin Family."

"Four Seas Chamber of Commerce?" Lin Feng was first stunned, and then a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

He remembered clearly that when he first came to the Prefecture City, he had hitched a ride with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's caravan, which was when he met this Senior Wang.

He also had some understanding of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's strength in the Prefecture City. Although President Fang Zhenhai was at the Foundation Establishment Peak, in a Prefecture City crowded with experts, they could only be considered a second-rate power.

Hearing the Senior's meaning now, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was actually going to step forward to take this batch of Spirit Medicine? Did they have such a large appetite and strength?

As if seeing through his doubts, Su Chengyuan put down his teacup and said in a flat voice, "Don't worry about the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's business. You only need to know that they can afford the Spirit Stones."

He pushed a list in front of Lin Feng.

"Thirty sets each of the main and auxiliary herbs for the clear spirit pill, the qi sea pill, and the foundation establishment pill. This is the list; go prepare it as soon as possible." Su Chengyuan looked at Lin Feng with a deep gaze. "This is only the first batch. Do it well, and there will be more in the future. Don't let me down!"

Lin Feng looked at the dense and diverse catalog of second-tier spiritual herbs on the list, his heart racing wildly.

He quickly estimated in his mind: thirty sets of each, adding up to exactly ninety sets of Materials for second-rank pills.

This... the total value of this transaction would likely be calculated in tens of thousands of Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

The first batch was already such an astonishing move; what kind of terrifying volume would the future 'more' be?

Lin Feng didn't dare think further, but he knew his life would be completely changed from the moment he accepted this list.

"I understand!" A blazing fighting spirit ignited in Lin Feng's eyes as he gave a deep bow to Su Chengyuan. "Rest assured, Senior, Lin Feng will never let you down!"
