Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Everyone Gets a Share_1

Phoenix Tower.

Inside a room.

Qin Feiyang looked at the Qiankun Bag in his hand, his eyes gleaming with delight.

Fatty and Lu Hong, having reverted to their true appearances, stood nearby, recounting their experiences in the Treasure Pavilion.

After listening, Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Fatty and Lu Hong’s efficiency had indeed exceeded his expectations. From now on, he could confidently entrust these tasks to them.

Fatty grinned, "Boss, we’ve made quite a contribution this time. Shouldn’t you reward us?"

Qin Feiyang’s face twitched. He nodded and laughed, "Sure, but on the condition that after I give you this reward, you can’t ask me for Potential Elixirs anymore."

Fatty was quite pleased at first, but upon hearing the latter part, his expression instantly changed. He hastily waved his hand, "This reward... I’d rather not have it."

Lu Hong covered her mouth, snickering to the side.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, a white silhouette swooped in through the window and landed in front of the three of them.

Qin Feiyang was startled and immediately became alert.

"How come it’s you?"

But when Fatty recognized the newcomer, he looked puzzled. Lu Hong did as well.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the man, then looked dubiously at Fatty and Lu Hong. "Do you two know him?" he asked.

"When I was leaving the Treasure Pavilion, he bumped into me," Fatty responded.

At these words, the middle-aged man’s face darkened. "So it was you! Qin Feiyang, you’re really something. You’ve only just arrived in King Pan City, and you immediately sent them to clear out all the medicinal herbs."

"Huh?" Fatty and Lu Hong looked at each other, their brows furrowed.

After sizing up the middle-aged man for a moment, Qin Feiyang seemed to have an epiphany. "Elder, this isn’t my fault," he said with a faint smile. "You were simply too slow."

"What is going on?" Fatty glanced between them. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he asked in surprise, "You’re not Master Jiang, are you?"

"What do you think?" The middle-aged man gave Fatty a cold glare, then swallowed a restoration pill and reverted to his original appearance.

After he revealed his true face, who could it be but Jiang Zhengyi?

"Haha..." Fatty burst into a hearty laugh.

Lu Hong bowed slightly and said with a smile, "Elder Jiang, my apologies for bumping into you earlier."

Jiang Zhengyi said angrily, "That’s not the point! The point is, do you three rascals have any respect for me at all?"

Qin Feiyang smiled, "We’ve always kept you in our hearts, Elder."

"Exactly, exactly." Fatty nodded repeatedly, his face beaming.

Jiang Zhengyi looked at the trio, gnashing his teeth in anger.

Initially, after the white-haired old man had left, he had wanted to continue resting. But when it occurred to him that Qin Feiyang might also be after those medicinal herbs, he immediately headed to the Treasure Pavilion. To avoid drawing attention, he even disguised himself and went on foot. But to his surprise, he was still a step late.

Qin Feiyang asked cautiously, "Elder, this was fair competition, and we each relied on our own methods. Surely you wouldn’t bully the weak, would you?"

Jiang Zhengyi replied playfully, "What if I do want to bully the weak?"

Qin Feiyang said, "If you insist on being unreasonable, Elder, then there’s nothing I can do."

"HMPH!" Jiang Zhengyi snorted and glared at him. "How many medicinal herbs did you get?"

Qin Feiyang shook his head. "I haven’t sorted them out yet, so I’m not sure. But there probably aren’t many."

Jiang Zhengyi retorted, "Stop trying to fool me! The principle is ’sharing the spoils.’ No matter what, you have to give me some."

Qin Feiyang looked somewhat helpless and smiled faintly. "How about this: you pay ten times the price, and I’ll sell them all to you."

"Why don’t you just rob me?" Jiang Zhengyi was furious. Ten times! This kid actually dared to say such a thing.

Qin Feiyang smiled, "Elder, now that everything is out in the open, why don’t we cooperate?"

"Don’t try to change the subject," Jiang Zhengyi said angrily, but after a moment’s thought, he asked, "How do we cooperate?"

Qin Feiyang said, "First, let me ask, when you went to the Treasure Pavilion, did you let anything slip?"

"Do I look that stupid to you?" Jiang Zhengyi fumed.

"That makes things easier," Qin Feiyang said with a smile. "Apart from King Pan City, Pan County has other cities. For example, the Treasure Pavilion in Sea Cloud City might also have the medicinal herbs for Potential Elixirs. Why don’t we visit all the Treasure Pavilions in Pan County before the Friendship Match begins?"

Actually, he’d had this idea from the start.

"That’s a good idea." A cunning smile appeared in Jiang Zhengyi’s eyes. "Kid, thanks for the reminder. When I get back, I’ll give you a little something."

Fatty was shocked and angry. "Elder, what do you mean? You want to keep it all for yourself?"

"And what if I do?" Jiang Zhengyi snorted coldly. "You still want a piece of the pie? Not a chance! I’m telling you."

"You’re so unjust!" Fatty said indignantly.

Qin Feiyang stretched out his hand to stop Fatty. Looking at Jiang Zhengyi, he chuckled, "Elder, if you insist on doing this, this junior certainly wouldn’t dare to object. However, if the Grand Pavilion Master of Pan County learns about those medicinal herbs, I’m afraid you might not get what you want either."

Seeing Qin Feiyang and his companions thwarted, Jiang Zhengyi had initially felt rather smug. But when he heard the latter part of the statement, his face suddenly changed. "Are you threatening me?" he said angrily.

Qin Feiyang waved his hand. "No, no, no, it’s not a threat, it’s a win-win situation. This junior isn’t being excessive: a sixty-forty split. You get sixty, I get forty."

Lu Hong smiled. "Master Jiang, we’ve already made a concession. That’s quite fair to you, isn’t it?"

Jiang Zhengyi’s brow furrowed tightly. After a moment, he looked at Qin Feiyang and shook his head. "I get seventy, you get thirty. Agree, and it’s a deal."

Qin Feiyang mused, "If that’s the case, then we won’t cover the cost of the Gold Coins for the medicinal herbs. You’ll be solely responsible for that."

"You scoundrel! Are you trying to get something for nothing?" Jiang Zhengyi was irate.

Qin Feiyang smiled, "Elder, you won’t lose out. You know, everyone wants Potential Elixirs. They’re sure to fetch a good price at auction."

"Then you tell me, who would be willing to sell their Potential Elixirs?" Jiang Zhengyi waved his hand impatiently. "Enough nonsense. Seventy-thirty split, and we each cover half the cost of the Gold Coins for the medicinal herbs. If you agree, we’ll set off immediately."

Qin Feiyang frowned slightly, then nodded. "Fine, it’s a deal. Lu Hong, you go with Elder Jiang."

"Alright." Lu Hong nodded.

Jiang Zhengyi asked angrily, "Are you sending her to spy on me?"

Qin Feiyang chuckled. "Now, now, Elder, saying that sort of thing sours the mood, doesn’t it? This junior is sending her to assist you."

"Hypocrite." Jiang Zhengyi shot him a disdainful look.

After a quick disguise, Jiang Zhengyi took Lu Hong, jumped out of the window, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Fatty grumbled, "Boss, a seventy-thirty split? Aren’t we losing out too much?"

"What’s the rush? In the entire Great Qin Empire, only I know how to concoct Potential Elixirs," Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile.

"That’s right!" Fatty suddenly understood and couldn’t help but give a sly grin. Even if Jiang Zhengyi obtained many more medicinal herbs, wouldn’t he still have to ask Elder Qin to help concoct them? According to the old rules, a fifty-fifty split, they could make another fortune.

However, suddenly, he frowned again. "But wait a minute, Boss. How can you be so sure that you’re the only one in the entire Great Qin Empire who knows how to concoct them?"

Qin Feiyang smiled but did not respond. Back when he was in the Imperial Capital, what kind of pill hadn’t he heard of? There was simply no such thing as a Potential Elixir. If he hadn’t encountered the Elixir Scripture, he wouldn’t even know such a pill existed in the world. Since even the Imperial Capital didn’t have them, other places naturally couldn’t either.

「By evening」

Jia Hei summoned everyone to the main hall. The First Prince and the others, who had been out strolling, had also returned. Everyone gathered around a table.

Elder Lin swept his gaze over the assembly and asked, "Has anyone seen Master Jiang?"

Everyone shook their heads. Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King also remained silent.

Zhao Shuang’er smiled, "He probably had some business to attend to outside!"

"Leaving without a word, he truly has no discipline at all," Jia Hei huffed with dissatisfaction.

Lo Qingzhu’s dark brows knitted together. "Does he need to report to you when he goes out?" she said coldly. "And what right do you have to say he lacks discipline?"

Jia Hei looked up at Lo Qingzhu, a cold light flickering in his eyes. Finally, he said, "It was my mistake to speak carelessly. I apologize." Others might not know, but he was well aware. Jiang Zhengyi doted on this daughter. If anyone dared to do anything to Lo Qingzhu, Jiang Zhengyi would absolutely not let them off.

"AHEM!" Elder Lin coughed and smiled. "It’s nothing major. No need to trouble Master Jiang over it."

With that, he took a Qiankun Bag from his robes, tossed it onto the table, and said with a faint smile, "This is the ransom for Ho Jun and the other two: three hundred million Gold Coins, not one less."

"Additionally, there’s one more announcement: the Friendship Match will begin in half a month. I hope that during this half-month, none of you will wander off. Strive to raise your strength to another level."

"Also, according to our inquiries, those you fought outside the city today are not your opponents for the match. They are merely some of the more outstanding young people from King Pan City. Those who will truly face you in the arena have not appeared; they are all in secluded cultivation. As for their strength, King Pan and the others have deliberately kept it secret, so we haven’t been able to find out. So, you absolutely cannot let your guard down," Elder Lin warned with a grave expression.

Everyone couldn’t help but frown.

Elder Lin then looked at the Wolf King and smiled, "You can also participate in the Friendship Match."

"We’ll see when the time comes." The Wolf King snatched the Qiankun Bag in his mouth and ran upstairs.

"Wait!" Jia Hei shouted at that moment.

"What?" The Wolf King turned his head, looking at him irritably.

Jia Hei said, "These Gold Coins don’t belong to you alone."

"Brother Wolf knows Brat Ling gets a share, but he definitely won’t fight Brother Wolf for it! If you have this much idle worry, you’d be better off investigating the opponent’s strength!" the Wolf King retorted. He glanced at Jia Hei contemptuously and turned to run upstairs again.

SWOOSH!

Jia Hei flickered and appeared before him, snatching the Qiankun Bag.

"Old Bastard, what’s the meaning of this?" The Wolf King was instantly enraged.

"Listen clearly! These Gold Coins aren’t just for you and Ling Yunfei. They belong to everyone; everyone gets a share!" Jia Hei stated in a gloomy tone.

Qin Feiyang’s eyebrows twitched.
