"Ten percent."
Chen Nan had long expected Wang Qian'er to be so shocked.
After all, whether on Earth.
Or in the Immortal Realm.
Other than him.
There was no other alchemist who possessed a ten percent success rate in pill refinement.
Although he could have said less.
Like tricking Steward Wang of Qingyun Tower, claiming a thirty percent or forty percent success rate.
This way, he could earn a lot of discounts.
But he didn't want to trick her.
It would make him seem like a person of poor character.
"You must mean a forty percent success rate, right? Forty percent is already quite high!" Wang Qian'er's beautiful eyes were filled with shock. "As far as I know, even that alchemist from the Lu family only has a twenty percent success rate when refining Body Seizing Pills."
Chen Nan's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He wondered why ten and four sounded so different!
Yet, why did this girl hear it as forty percent?
So embarrassing!
Should I re-emphasize the ten percent success rate?
If so.
Would she think I'm a liar?
What should I do?
Waiting online!
Very urgent...
Chen Nan cleared his throat and said, "Yes, my success rate has indeed reached forty percent. If I'm in a slightly better mood, it can be even higher."
Forty percent it is then!
It's not like I intentionally tried to trick her.
Wang Qian'er was overjoyed and said, "Then, as you said before, our Wang family will provide the medicinal ingredients, and you will refine the pills for us."
Chen Nan: "Okay."
Wang Qian'er cleared her throat and asked cautiously, "If we provide more medicinal ingredients, will you be angry?"
Chen Nan almost burst out laughing.
What a joke!
Am I that petty-minded?
Even if you brought ten thousand sets of ingredients to refine Body Seizing Pills.
I wouldn't get mad at you!
If you have the ability, just exhaust me to death...
Wang Qian'er spread her right hand, and a purplish-red flower appeared in her palm, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.
This was the Putuo Flower.
It looked very much like a morning glory from the mortal world.
Except the petals were about the size of a bowl.
Wang Qian'er said, "Then, as you said before, this Putuo Flower is yours, and you will refine Body Seizing Pills for us."
"Please give me an address."
"Once I've gathered the medicinal ingredients for the Body Seizing Pills, I'll deliver them to your residence."
She was in charge of most of the Wang family's business.
She could make this decision herself.
After receiving the Putuo Flower.
Chen Nan told Wang Qian'er his address.
Then he left the Wang Family's Medicinal Shop with Kuangtu.
At the same time.
Lu Zheng, the eldest grandson of the Lu family and one of the Eight Young Lords of Fengdu City, also returned to the Lu family.
He resentfully said to his father, Lu Yuan, "Father, I went to the Wang Family's Medicinal Shop and met Wang Qian'er, but she asked for one hundred Body Seizing Pills."
"Otherwise, she wouldn't give us the Putuo Flower."
Lu Yuan, over fifty, had a cold sneer on his imposing face. "One hundred Body Seizing Pills? What an appetite. Aren't they afraid of being choked to death?"
Lu Zheng said, "They must know we need the Putuo Flower to refine a certain pill, and currently, only the Wang family can produce this ingredient."
"Precisely because of this, they are emboldened and are making a sky-high demand for our ancestor to refine a hundred Body Seizing Pills for them."
Lu Yuan snorted, "Don't reply to the Wang family for now. The colder we are to them, the more panicked they will become, and they might even think we don't need the Putuo Flower."
"By then..."
"It won't be them dictating terms to us."
"It will be us dictating terms to them!" He sneered at this point.
Although the Lu family desperately needed that Putuo Flower.
They were not in that much of a hurry.
After all, even with the Putuo Flower.
They would still be missing an ingredient called Forget Worry Grass.
And Forget Worry Grass was the primary auxiliary ingredient for refining the Supreme Purity Divine Pill.
He looked at an old man standing before him and asked, "Is there any news of Forget Worry Grass from the north?"
The old man shook his head. "Although someone has seen Forget Worry Grass in the wilderness."
"But that was thousands of years ago."
"Our people have already ventured deep into the wilderness."
"If there's any news, they will report it immediately."
Lu Yuan grunted.
His gaze gradually deepened.
They had to find the Putuo Flower and Forget Worry Grass.
This way, they could refine the Supreme Purity Divine Pill for the King of Hell.
If they succeeded.
The Lu family would become the number one ranked family in the Underworld.
Even the descendants of the Lu family could achieve immortality.
------
On the other side.
After parting ways with Chen Nan, Wang Qian'er returned to her family immediately.
Her father, Wang Yunlong, asked with concern, "Daughter, did the Lu family agree to our terms? Are they willing to refine Body Seizing Pills for our Wang family?"
Wang Yunlong had no intention of making the Wang family flourish and achieve greatness.
After all, even the ancestors of the Wang family hadn't achieved it, so how could he?
He didn't want to.
He simply wanted to "lie flat."
In Earthly terms, it meant to relax.
Since his daughter was so capable, she could help him manage the family business.
He could listen to music and tease birds every day.
Wouldn't that be comfortable?
However.
When Qingyun Tower started selling pills, he became a little flustered.
Because after that, the Wang family's business declined sharply.
Wang Yunlong was somewhat unwilling.
According to family rules.
He only had one year left as the clan leader.
After one year, he would step down as clan leader.
Wouldn't it be better if Qingyun Tower sold pills a year later?
Why did they have to sell pills during his tenure as clan leader?
He just wanted to lie flat.
He didn't want to be the most unremarkable clan leader in the Wang family!
So.
Upon learning that the Lu family needed the Putuo Flower.
He used all his connections to obtain one.
His intention was to have the Lu family help refine some Body Seizing Pills.
So that people would know.
Not only Qingyun Tower could sell pills.
The Wang family could too.
And their grade was even higher than those sold by Qingyun Tower.
Wang Qian'er smiled, revealing her stunning beauty. "Father, the Lu family did not agree to refine pills for us."
"However, someone you never expected has appeared..."
Saying this, she told him about Chen Nan.
Wang Yunlong gasped in disbelief.
He had tried every means to investigate the mysterious alchemist behind Qingyun Tower.
But there was no clue.
Who would have thought.
The person he had been searching for would find the Wang family.
And be willing to help the Wang family refine Body Seizing Pills.
Furthermore.
He would even refine any type of pill for the Wang family for free.
Wang Yunlong quickly calmed down, his eyes filled with depth. "As you said, Chen Nan and the Lu family must have an irreconcilable hatred."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have paid such a high price to obtain that Putuo Flower."
"Since that's the case."
"We can go with the flow and help Chen Nan."
"If he can overthrow the Lu family."
"Our Wang family might have a chance to replace the Lu family's current position."
A trace of shock flashed in Wang Qian'er's eyes. "Chen Nan's goal is to overthrow the Lu family?"
"I don't deny his accomplishments in alchemy."
"But how can he possibly contend with the Lu family?"
