Ao Ji: "Since Emperor Qian does not wish to do business with our Dragon Clan, I can only apologize."
Emperor Qian frowned: "What does Daoist Ao Ji mean by this?"
"Are you going to terminate our cooperation with the Qian Kingdom?"
Ao Ji: "This old one came with full sincerity, but you do not wish to do business with our Dragon Clan."
Emperor Qian was angered: "Do not bully others by virtue of your power, this is not the same thing at all."
Ao Ji's tone was calm: "For the Dragon Clan, this is precisely the same thing."
"You..." Emperor Qian was speechless.
He simply did not want to do a one-for-two business with Ao Ji.
Who knew that the other party would propose terminating cooperation with the Qian Kingdom.
Without the cooperation of the Dragon Clan.
The alchemy industry of the Qian Kingdom would surely be affected.
After all, most of the medicinal materials required by the alchemists of the Qian Kingdom came from the Dragon Clan.
Taking a deep breath, Emperor Qian said earnestly: "Daoist Ao Ji, I hope you will consider this matter carefully."
"Weigh the pros and cons."
"Your Demon Race abounds with medicinal materials, but apart from my Qian Kingdom, which of the other eight kingdoms can consume your medicinal materials?"
"The tactic of killing one thousand enemies and hurting yourself eight hundred should not be used by your Dragon Clan."
Ao Ji smiled: "Emperor Qian does not seem to have paid much attention to the situation in the Wu Kingdom."
Emperor Qian frowned.
Ao Ji continued: "King Wu is vigorously developing the economy of Donghuang City."
"Although Donghuang City is a remote small city in the easternmost part of the Wu Kingdom."
"It is now very prosperous and has become a gathering place for humans and demons."
"Humans can sell various fabrics and elixirs to demons."
"And demons can also sell medicinal materials to humans."
"Even if we lose the market of the Qian Kingdom, our medicinal materials will not lack sales."
"Of course."
"My elder brother once said that you two have a friendship."
"Your face must be given."
"Otherwise, our cooperation would have ended long ago."
Emperor Qian's brows were tightly furrowed.
Clearly pondering the matter.
He never imagined that humans and demons could coexist peacefully.
Even doing business together...
The old eunuch whispered beside Emperor Qian: "Your Majesty, Donghuang City in the Wu Kingdom has indeed undergone great changes recently."
"Humans and demons coexist, creating a scene of prosperity."
Emperor Qian angrily said: "Why was this matter not reported to me?"
"This old servant is guilty..." The old eunuch was so scared that he knelt on the ground: "You said that matters unrelated to the Xue Kingdom did not need to be reported."
Emperor Qian's mouth twitched.
Because.
He saw Ao Ji's disdainful gaze.
He did not feel embarrassed and said: "I can provide the divine medicine, but this matter must be discussed by Chen Nan with me."
Ao Ji said politely: "Emperor Qian, please state any conditions you have. I can fully handle this negotiation."
Emperor Qian: "Let Chen Nan agree to my three conditions."
He then added: "Although I haven't thought about what I want him to do for me yet."
Ao Ji laughed: "If you had thought of three conditions, it would be fine."
"You haven't even thought of those three conditions yet, and you want someone to agree."
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Emperor Qian: "You just need to convey my exact words to Chen Nan."
"No need." Ao Ji's face showed a hint of anger: "Not to mention that he will not agree, even this old one will not agree."
"If we don't hit it off, then goodbye!"
Saying this, he turned and left.
Guo Kai asked nervously: "Your Majesty, are you really going to fall out with the Dragon Clan for that divine medicine?"
"That divine medicine is indeed rare."
"But without the supply of medicinal materials from the Dragon Clan, the alchemists of our Qian Kingdom will likely be unemployed."
Although he was the commander of the Imperial Guard.
He was also a confidant of Emperor Qian.
He knew very well what the existence of the Dragon Clan meant to the Qian Kingdom.
If the supply of medicinal materials to the Qian Kingdom was terminated.
It would be a devastating blow to the entire alchemy world of the Qian Kingdom.
Emperor Qian sneered: "As expected, Chen Nan must be very eager to refine the divine elixir. Since this is the case, we have enough leverage to control him."
"Yes."
"The more dominant Ao Ji was today, the more pathetic Chen Nan will be when he comes to beg me in person."
------
In the teahouse.
Ao Ji angrily recounted what had happened to Chen Nan.
"Master, you are the ruler of the Demon Realm."
"In terms of status, how can a mere Emperor Qian compare to you?"
"Let alone the Dragon Clan Chief, which of the other four Ninth-Rank Demon Emperors can crush Emperor Qian?"
"And he, on the contrary, actually asked you to agree to three conditions, and what's more infuriating is that he hasn't even thought of those three conditions."
"This old servant acted on his own accord and refused him on the spot."
"Moreover, this old servant has already ordered the termination of cooperation with the Qian Kingdom."
Chen Nan was relatively satisfied with the earlier words.
If it were him.
He would not agree to Emperor Qian's three unthought-of conditions.
But he couldn't help but react to the latter sentence.
"You terminated cooperation with the Qian Kingdom, what will my brother do?" Chen Nan complained weakly.
Gong Jian had just become the new head of the Gong family.
He hadn't earned much money, and Ao Ji had already terminated cooperation with the Qian Kingdom.
This...
Eight hundred enemies killed, one thousand of your own lost?
Ao Ji quickly said: "Master, rest assured, even if our Dragon Clan terminates cooperation with the Qian Kingdom, we will only control the flow of medicinal materials. We will still provide medicinal materials to Young Master Jian, ensuring he is not wronged."
Chen Nan nodded slightly.
He didn't mind the Dragon Clan terminating cooperation with the Qian Kingdom.
After all, he also knew King Wu and Emperor Yan.
And they were very familiar.
Both were true emperors who cared for their people.
Capable.
Visionary.
And treated people very well.
Then look at Emperor Qian...
Although he was also one of the eight supreme existences of the human race.
In Chen Nan's eyes, he was nothing.
He had no imperial bearing or majesty at all.
Such a person.
It was worth teaching him a lesson.
Chen Nan suddenly said: "Do you know where that White Jade Ginseng is?"
Ao Ji shook his head: "This old one has seen that White Jade Ginseng, but I do not know its exact location."
Chen Nan then said: "Do you think Emperor Qian's third son, Qian Feng, knows the whereabouts of the White Jade Ginseng?"
Ao Ji: "Divine medicines of millions of years are extremely rare."
"Even in the Qian Kingdom, only a few princes know the exact location of that White Jade Ginseng."
"This must include Qian Feng."
He had lived in the Qian Kingdom for many years.
He knew that Qian Feng was deeply trusted by Emperor Yan.
Moreover.
The last time he saw that divine medicine.
Qian Feng had accompanied him.
"Since someone knows, it will be easy." Chen Nan grinned and walked towards the exit.
Ao Ji shivered and quickly followed: "Master, you're not thinking of stealing that divine medicine, are you?"
Chen Nan's face was stern: "What kind of person am I?"
"The ruler of the Demon Realm!"
"The Three Grandmasters in the history of the Immortal Realm!"
"How could I do such a thing?"
"Borrowing, I call it borrowing."
"Oh, right."
"Help me find a White Jade Ginseng seedling."
"After I get that million-year-old White Jade Ginseng, I will plant the seedling there."
"After a million years, won't it become a divine medicine?"
"Then it will be repaid, won't it?"
