I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Lu Xuan never expected that the Tiger Essence Powder he developed based on the notes of Master Yunhe would be ranked at the top among so many pharmacies in Wuling County.

Since it can generate sales.

That would certainly be a good thing.

The subsequent conversation went very smoothly.

Since Xu Jing came in person, she had already made all the necessary preparations.

They even gave Lu Xuan several options.

After reviewing these proposals, Lu Xuan gently shook his head.

"Is Mr. Lu dissatisfied with these proposals?"

"Of course, we can continue to discuss the fees."

Seeing Lu Xuan shake his head, Xu Jing became nervous.

"No, those are all good options, but I have another one. I wonder what Manager Xu thinks of it."

Lu Xuan said.

Xu Jing raised a brow, her heart skipping a beat.

"I can give you the prescription for Tiger Essence Powder directly."

"A certain fee will be charged each year, and after five years, the prescription will belong to you."

"Furthermore, I will need to take 20% of the profits from sales within Wuling County over the next five years."

Lu Xuan said.

Proposing this approach might put some pressure on Guyun Pharmacy, which is only located in Wuling County, and could even lead to losses.

But compared to the entire Guyun Pharmacy, it was definitely a profit.

Because the entire Guyun Pharmacy can refine and sell Tiger Essence Powder.

They can even be sold in other cities, which means a very promising income for Gu Yun Pharmacy.

After all, all Lu Xuan wanted was the sales profit from Wuling County.

The reason for charging for the prescription is that it is for five years.

Because five years later, the prescription for Tiger Essence Powder was easily discovered.

Alternatively, other medicinal powders may also appear on the market.

"You...you're willing to sell the prescription to us?"

Xu Jing was immediately shocked.

She didn't care at all about the conditions that Lu Xuan proposed later.

Because no alchemist would be willing to sell their newly formulated medicines to pharmacies.

As long as you hold it in your hand, it's a goose that keeps laying golden eggs.

Of course, in Xu Jing's view, such alchemists were basically short-sighted.

On the contrary, Lu Xuan's thoughts coincided with Xu Jing's.

However, Xu Jing did not dare to propose such a solution at first.

This would make Lu Xuan feel dissatisfied.

Did they come here specifically looking for the prescription?

At this point, things often become difficult to discuss.

"Of course, how could an old man like me possibly concoct so many medicinal powders?"

"Gu Yun Pharmacy has a large number of pharmacists. Only by working together can we have a chance to make more money."

Lu Xuan chuckled.

This idea is, of course, a very forward-thinking concept.

When Xu Jing looked at Lu Xuan, her face was full of admiration.

Moreover, with the prescription in Lu Xuan's hands, he still had to think about it every day and guard against others coming to discuss it. But now that the prescription has been sold to Gu Yun Pharmacy, only the people at Gu Yun Pharmacy need to worry about it.

"Mr. Lu has great foresight. Cooperating with him is truly a great fortune in life."

Xu Jing said with a beaming smile.

Finally, the two of them discussed it.

Xu Jing immediately gave it to Lu Xuan.

The prescription usage fee is 200,000 taels of silver paid to Lu Xuan annually.

In addition, 30% of the sales profits from Wuling County will be allocated to Lu Xuan.

This was something Xu Jing was able to decide on the spot.

Although it's a loss for Wuling County.

However, if they could obtain this prescription, the profits for the entire Guyun Pharmacy would be enormous.

"Two hundred thousand a year!?"

Shen Yue, who was listening nearby, was even more surprised and opened her mouth wide.

Over five years, wouldn't that amount to one million taels?

She never imagined that she would be dealing with so much money in her lifetime.

That's amazing, sir.

"I will draft the contract and send it to the master after I return."

"In addition, the profit share will be deposited into Mr. Lu's account through a money exchange every month."

"The first year's fees will be deposited after the prescription is handed over and confirmed, so Mr. Lu need not worry about that."

Xu Jing looked excited.

This Tiger Essence Powder has enormous potential.

Although Tiger Yuan Powder might be considered a low-end product in a place like Jinyuan City, it's an absolute hot commodity in county-level markets like Wuling County.

The cost of a bottle of Tiger Essence Powder is very low.

Even after Lu Xuan simplified it, it was only a little over three hundred taels of silver, but if he sold it, it could fetch eight hundred taels or even more.

After deducting other miscellaneous expenses, the net profit can reach about two hundred taels in the end.

A 30% profit would be 60 taels.

For every bottle of Tiger Essence Powder sold at Guyun Pharmacy in Wuling County, Lu Xuan would receive sixty taels of silver!

Sixty taels is equivalent to the price of a dose of bone-strengthening powder on the black market.

This money is all small change.

Lu Xuan only used it for the most basic household purposes.

At least with this contract, Shen Yue and the others can have some income.

"Master Xu is indeed straightforward."

"This is the prescription for Tiger Essence Powder. As for the contract, it can be signed whenever we want. I trust Manager Xu's character."

Lu Xuan said, and handed the prescription for Tiger Essence Powder directly to Xu Jing.

The recipe was written in advance.

This is the world of martial arts.

If you dare to play tricks on a martial arts master who is also an alchemist.

Then your fate will be extremely tragic.

This is beyond doubt.

Therefore, Lu Xuan was not afraid at all that Xu Jing would not pay him.

Having witnessed Lu Xuan's strength tonight, Xu Jing will only have even greater respect for him.

Shen Yue, who was standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed. Was a transaction worth a million taels of silver really completed just like that?

That's over a million taels of silver!

If they were all laid out before you, you probably couldn't count them all.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lu. Our Gu Yun Pharmacy will absolutely not let you down."

Xu Jing stood up and said, "The transaction is now complete."

There was no need for her to stay here and continue to bother Lu Xuan.

"Please wait, Manager Xu. Since you're here, please take these pills back and get an appraisal. We can settle the bill together then, so this old man won't have to make a trip."

Lu Xuan took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

Elixir!?

Xu Jing's eyes narrowed.

He stared blankly at the bottle.

"Does this mean...?"

Xu Jing opened the bottle in her hand.

Five True Profound Pills actually poured out of the bottle!

"This is... a True Profound Pill!?"

Xu Jing gasped.

She just gave the pill formula to Lu Xuan yesterday.

How come Lu Xuan has already refined this pill today?

And there were a full five of them!

She heard from her subordinates this morning that Shen Yu had gone to Gu Yun Pharmacy and bought several prescriptions for True Profound Pills.

I originally thought Lu Xuan would need some time to study it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan finished refining it so quickly!

At this moment, Xu Jing's heart was filled with a storm of emotions.

Logically speaking, even just studying and becoming familiar with the formulas for second-grade pills would take some time.

It's impossible to master it right away.

Lu Xuan's speed in producing pills is simply too fast.

A single Grade 2 True Profound Pill sells for around two thousand taels of silver on the market.

If you recycle it at Guyun Pharmacy, you can basically sell it for around 1,700 or 1,800 yuan.

Lu Xuan only took out these five pills.

They are all worth nearly ten thousand taels of silver!

This pill was made in just one day.

If Lu Xuan continues to maintain this level of performance, then the speed at which he makes money will be terrifying!

"I never imagined that Master Lu was already a seasoned alchemist..."

Xu Jing looked at Lu Xuan with her beautiful eyes.

She had already made up her mind.

No other medicine girls are needed.

She'd take Lu Xuan, such a high-quality man, herself!

As long as we can take down Lu Xuan.

My status in Gu Yun Pharmacy will only rise higher and higher!

The value of an alchemist is completely different from that of a pharmacist.

Moreover, seeing how harmoniously Shen Yue and the other young beauties get along, it seems that Lu Xuan is also a very easy person to get along with in private.

Compared to these younger girls, Xu Jing was quite confident in her own charm.

Although she was not old, she had advantages that young girls did not have.

"Our Guyun Pharmacy will buy back these pills belonging to Master Lu at a price of 1,750 taels each. Although this may not be the highest buyback price on the market, there is absolutely no need to worry or cause any disputes if they are kept at our Guyun Pharmacy."

"Furthermore, from now on, when Mr. Lu purchases medicinal herbs from our Guyun Pharmacy, he will receive the lowest possible discount."

Xu Jing said repeatedly.

There is a standard limit to the buyback price; even Xu Jing cannot set a price arbitrarily.

All that can be given is the highest authority that she, as the person in charge, can have.

"It's all negotiable."

Lu Xuan nodded and said.

The reason he doesn't dwell on these details at this time is precisely because he has the confidence.

If he finds out that your Gu Yun Pharmacy is playing dirty tricks behind your back, then you can switch to another partner at any time.

In order to maintain this relationship, your Guyun Pharmacy must be honest and upright.

Furthermore.

This is the world of martial arts.

If you are two-faced when you cooperate.

Although they are nominally protected by the Fengwu Hall, they can actually take direct action and kill people.

Lu Xuan also let Xu Jing handle the trivial matters because she was quite sensible.

However, when Lu Xuan looked at Xu Jing at this moment, he clearly noticed that Xu Jing's eyes were somewhat different from before.

It seems... a bit more provocative?

It shouldn't be my imagination.

It seems that the identity of an alchemist brings considerable value.

Even the county magistrate of Guyun Pharmacy was willing to sacrifice himself for this.

Of course, Lu Xuan didn't mind.

After all, he had an unusual path to improve his cultivation.

Once we've paved this path wide, everything will be easier from now on.

Xu Jing immediately counted out the silver and gave it to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan waved his hand and handed everything over to Shen Yue to manage.

Fortunately, although Shen Yue came from a farming background, her parents had given her some education while they were alive, so she was good at things like bookkeeping.

Looking at the stack of gleaming silver notes, Shen Yue felt immense admiration for Lu Xuan.

Because these weren't stolen.

It was all earned.

At this moment, Jiang Qin and Ye Luoxin, who had just gone out, also returned.

"Sir, I've found out."

"It's at Yunshan Inn."
