NOVEL NEXT Chapter 19 Cooperation
Chapter 19 Cooperation
Given Xiao Yan's personality, as long as you extend a helping hand when he's down and express some goodwill, he will be your loyal brother! Su Yun walked to the gate of the Xiao Family, and the guards standing there immediately approached, bowing and bending.
"Respected Master Alchemist, greetings."
"Hmm."
Su Yun replied indifferently. He was dressed in a robe for a fourth-grade alchemist, and anyone with a bit of knowledge would recognize his identity.
During this period, everyone who saw him greeted him with smiles and pleasant words. The convenience brought by the identity of an alchemist was immense. Before he broke through to the Battle Master level, this was something he wouldn't even dare to think about.
The continent of Qi is just that realistic, making Su Yun even more eager for powerful strength!
"Inform your clan leader that fourth-grade alchemist Han Li is here to visit."
Su Yun instructed the guard. The guard was not surprised; the news of a fourth-grade alchemist coming to Wutan City had already spread like wildfire.
Seeing the robe on Su Yun, he had already understood the identity of the person in front of him.
"Yes."
The guard left in haste, and in no time, Xiao Zhan and three elders of the Xiao Family hurriedly arrived in front of Su Yun.
"Master Han Li."
A smile was squeezed onto Xiao Zhan's face as he respectfully greeted Su Yun. The three elders of the Xiao Family also quickly greeted him.
They were originally discussing matters in the family hall, and they were startled by the news from the guards.
A fourth-grade alchemist unexpectedly came to their Xiao Family; this was like a deity visiting a small temple.
Su Yun was invited inside and was hospitably treated with good food and drink, afraid that they might offend this deity.
After a series of exchanges, Xiao Zhan felt that the time was right and carefully probed.
"I wonder, Master, what brings you to our Xiao Family?"
Su Yun was not polite and directly got to the point.
"I came to the Xiao Family today to discuss cooperation."
"Cooperation?"
Xiao Zhan and the three elders looked at each other, all puzzled.
"I wonder, Master, what kind of cooperation are you suggesting?"
"Selling elixirs. I will refine some first-grade elixirs for the Xiao Family at the beginning of each month, such as healing elixirs and replenishing energy elixirs. The Xiao Family will be responsible for selling these elixirs. Of course, the materials for alchemy will be provided by the Xiao Family."
"Hmm!"
Xiao Zhan and the three elders showed surprise on their faces. It felt like winning the lottery; they were all a bit dizzy.
"This, this, Master, are you not joking with us?"
The eldest elder couldn't help but ask.
Su Yun frowned, "I don't have that leisure to make fun of your Xiao Family. Give me a definite answer: do you want to cooperate or not?"
"Cooperate, of course, we will cooperate."
Xiao Zhan quickly interrupted, afraid that the eldest elder would spoil this tremendous opportunity.
"Hmm."
Su Yun finally relaxed his frown.
"Master, I wonder how the profits of these elixirs will be divided?"
Seeing Su Yun's expression improve a bit, Xiao Zhan quickly asked.
"Hmm... I wonder how Clan Chief Xiao would like to split it?"
Su Yun counter-asked, passing the ball back.
Xiao Zhan frowned, thought carefully, and cautiously suggested, "Twenty-eight split, with the Xiao Family taking two shares, and you taking eight. How about that?"
Xiao Zhan didn't show much greed; he understood clearly that compared to these insignificant benefits, befriending this almighty master was the key.
"Clan Chief Xiao is quite straightforward. Let's go with that, as you said."
Su Yun chuckled.
At this moment, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but ask again.
"In the three major families of Wutan City, may I ask why you chose our Xiao Family for cooperation?"
This was also what the three elders of the Xiao Family wanted to ask. The strength of the Xiao Family was not much different from the other two, so why did this enormous opportunity fall into their laps?
"Clan Chief Xiao, there's no need to worry. When I was young, I was saved by Old Master Xiao Lin."
Su Yun could see his concerns and was prepared with an excuse. Anyway, Old Master Xiao Lin, the grandfather of Xiao Yan, had long passed away, and trying to investigate a dead person wouldn't yield anything.
"I see." Xiao Zhan suddenly realized.
There was such a past event; it was truly a blessing from their ancestors.
While Su Yun and Xiao Zhan were working out the details, the Xiao Family courtyard became lively.
"What! A fourth-grade alchemist has come to our Xiao Family!"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but exclaim when he heard the news.
"Cousin Xiao Mei, is this true?"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but question.
"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes just now. A person wearing an alchemist robe was brought to the hall by the Clan Chief and the elders. There was even a badge on his chest with four lines engraved on it."
Seeing her cousin Xiao Yan's skeptical expression, Xiao Mei was a bit impatient.
Beside them, Xiao Xun'er puffed her cheeks, looking angrily at Xiao Mei. She didn't want to see other girls getting so close to Xiao Yan!
Medicine Elder hadn't started absorbing Xiao Yan's Battle Qi yet. At this moment, he was still undoubtedly the child king in this courtyard.
Xiao Mei, a real girl in the original work, still revolved around Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan looked at the two little girls in front of him, feeling satisfied. He was already envisioning a life of being surrounded by beautiful girls.
He wasn't the only one with such thoughts; there were dozens of little brats in the courtyard, including the characters from the original work, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning.
"I will also become an alchemist in the future!"
Xiao Yan declared in his heart. He had seen the scene where Su Yun was welcomed by Xiao Zhan and others.
...
"Now that everything is settled, I'll take my leave."
After finalizing the details of the cooperation with Xiao Zhan and others, Su Yun was ready to say goodbye.
Xiao Zhan and the three elders escorted Su Yun to the gate of the Xiao Family.
"Alright, no need to accompany me further."
Su Yun said to Xiao Zhan and the others.
"Master, please visit often."
Xiao Zhan clasped his hands and smiled, his old face turning into a chrysanthemum. The three elders were the same.
Su Yun felt a bit awkward watching this. After a perfunctory response, he turned around and left the Xiao Family.
Once Su Yun was far away, Xiao Zhan and the others immediately changed their expressions.
"What are you looking at? You little rascals, have you completed your cultivation today? Don't hang around here making trouble!"
The group of kids hiding behind the wall, including Xiao Yan's group, immediately scattered in chaos.
"Don't let me catch you, or there'll be consequences!"
