My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

Lu Zheng walked outside and said to Wei Tongdao, who was waiting, "Take your people and settle down nearby first, then come back tomorrow."

"Yes, sir." Wei Tong replied and left with his men.

Lu Zheng then entered the Medicine King Pavilion again, where the medicinal herbs had been prepared.

Qingdai looked at him, a serious expression in her eyes.

Whether someone is a true master can be determined by their alchemy skills.

Without wasting any words, Lu Zheng examined the medicinal herbs and then placed them into the cauldron.

The flames rose, and the way the medicine was placed was extremely fast, with the heat perfectly controlled.

After a series of operations, all the medicinal herbs were placed into the cauldron.

A smile appeared on Qingdai's face. Putting everything else aside, Lu Zheng's technique just now had already surpassed many of the renowned doctors from the Medicine King Pavilion.

Such alchemy skills would hold a high position even at headquarters, let alone in a branch.

By the time all this was done, it was already late at night. Qingdai had been watching the whole process and was reluctant to leave.

Only when the fire was at its most stable and the furnace could only be opened the next day did Qingdai step forward, bow, and say, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."

  

"No need to be polite, it's just a matter of mutual benefit. I wonder if my move will meet the Pavilion Master's approval," Lu Zheng said casually.

"Your alchemy skills are truly remarkable, unlike anything I've ever seen before. I wonder how many Profound Spirit Tempering Pills you need? I'll have them prepared right away," Qingdai said softly.

Lu Zheng did the math and decided to use a quota of 2,500 people if he wanted everyone to enter the country.

One person needs one hundred taels of silver.

This is the price after the discount.

No wonder they say raising an army is expensive; the price of these pills alone is enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"Give me 2,500 portions, that is, 25,000 pills. The cost can be deducted from the pills I sell," Lu Zheng said.

"Alright, here is 750,000 taels of silver, please take it." As Qingdai spoke, she placed a stack of silver notes into Lu Zheng's hand.

The latter simply put it away.

Then, Qingdai respectfully said, "Sir, our Medicine King Pavilion is currently lacking an alchemist like you. If you would be willing to join us..."

"Joining is impossible, but I can cooperate with you. What do you think?" Lu Zheng interrupted the other party.

Then, he continued, "Judging from your appearance, you seem to really need this Blood Nourishing Pill. I'll sell you twenty every month, and from now on, you'll have priority in supplying me with pills, and you'll still be using today's discounted price."

A 30% discount means the price is almost at cost.

However, it's not quite a loss yet. Qingdai looked at Lu Zheng and quickly made a judgment in her mind. He was too young. At such a young age, he already had such alchemy skills. In a few years, he might be able to refine even more powerful pills.

Priority supply and discounts on pills are benefits that only true partners of the Medicine King Pavilion can offer.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, apart from the royal family, no one could make the Medicine King Pavilion act in such a way.

However, Qingdai saw potential in Lu Zheng.

If she reports it, the higher-ups might not approve it, since Lu Zheng's current status is too low.

However, if he managed to arrange these discounts himself, Lu Zheng's team, which wasn't large, could manage to supply them.

Most importantly, with Lu Zheng's pills, she could become the Pavilion Master.

If Lu Zheng can take another step forward and has a chance to refine sixth-grade pills in the future, then he will definitely be a trump card in Qingdai's hands.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, "I agree."

Lu Zheng nodded, surprised that a woman could have such courage. After all, he had heard that even the princes and princesses were eager to cooperate with the Medicine King Pavilion, but none of them had succeeded.

After all, with such a powerful clan backing them, the force they unleash would be terrifying.

It's fair to say that with such a powerful figure helping out, the struggle for the throne would become much simpler.

Although he currently only has Qingdai's covert support, it is enough for his current strength. If he can refine better pills in the future, he will naturally find more suitable people to cooperate with.

Lu Zheng continued, "However, I don't want too many people to know that I can refine pills, or about our cooperation."

He is still weak and doesn't want to cause himself too much trouble.

"No problem, I'll do whatever you say." Qingdai readily agreed, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she didn't want Lu Zheng to be known by others, otherwise, she would lose her advantage.

Other branches will definitely come to investigate.

Yes, after Lu Zheng left, we had his key information hidden.

The power of the Medicine King Pavilion is terrifying. Although it is only a branch pavilion, it is still very simple for them to do something in Qingyang Prefecture.

After the matter was settled, Lu Zheng was arranged to rest by Qingdai.

Now, the former is the key to her promotion, so she naturally dares not be negligent in the slightest.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, when Lu Zheng got up...

In the courtyard, they saw that the pills were already being loaded onto the carts.

Moreover, Qingdai was already waiting downstairs for Lu Zheng to open the cauldron.

She had witnessed Lu Zheng's alchemy skills yesterday, but she was still a little worried until the pills were successfully refined.

Knowing Qingdai's thoughts, Lu Zheng greeted her and then went to the medicine hut, where he opened the cauldron directly.

The next moment, ten pills appeared before them.

Qingdai's face lit up with surprise; it was a top-grade fifth-level pill.

Lu Zheng hadn't lied to her after all. A slight blush appeared on her face as she looked at Lu Zheng and said, "Sir, if you need anything in the future, you can come to me. As long as Qingdai can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

Then, he cautiously added, "These ten pills..."

"These ten pills are yours to keep; consider it your share for this month." Lu Zheng knew what Qingdai was thinking.

The latter's face showed excitement for a fleeting moment. If seven pills were still a bit too little, seventeen would definitely be enough.

After all, a divine doctor can only refine a dozen or so a month at most, so Lu Zheng being able to produce so many already surprised her greatly.

Being young means having plenty of energy.

If it were someone who was old and frail, with declining blood and energy, they couldn't be refined like Lu Zheng.

"The silver notes are ready." After Qingdai finished speaking, she handed over the silver notes.

Lu Zheng glanced at the wooden boxes and, seeing that the quantity was correct,...

He then took it.

At this moment, Wei Tong and the others also walked in.

Seeing the large quantity of pills already loaded onto the vehicle, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He clearly hadn't expected that Lu Zheng would actually be able to purchase so many.

The latter didn't offer much explanation, simply saying, "Go back."

After saying that, he walked outside.

After returning home this time, with this silver and pills, it will be time for Lu Zheng to show his skills.
