The pharmacy was named Tianbao Pavilion.
It was the largest pharmacy in the capital of the Great Gan Dynasty.
It was rumored that as long as one had enough money, even spirit medicines that had been around for five hundred thousand years could be bought.
This point alone was enough to show the influence of Tianbao Pavilion.
After all, spirit medicines of such age were rare even in the Demon Realm.
However.
Chen Nan never dreamed that.
Tianbao Pavilion would prohibit him from entering.
There was a notice at the entrance.
On it was his portrait.
In addition to that, it also stated: Chen Nan and dogs are not allowed to enter.
"Brother Zhao, please don't be angry," Nie Yao said quickly, sensing Chen Nan's anger, "I heard that Tianbao Pavilion has Dan Chenzi as its backer."
"If I'm not mistaken, this is Dan Chenzi deliberately trying to provoke you."
"To ruin your reputation through such actions."
Chen Nan's face was grim.
Simply because he had become a Grandmaster Alchemist.
He was inexplicably targeted by someone?
He truly did not expect that a despicable and treacherous person like Dan Chenzi could become a Grandmaster Alchemist.
To be on par with him as a Grandmaster Alchemist was the greatest insult to Chen Nan.
"I'll wait here, you go buy the medicinal ingredients!" Chen Nan took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.
He could not afford to get angry.
Nor could he rashly escalate the matter.
After all, if the matter escalated, Dan Chenzi would surely know of his presence.
And at that time.
The Emperor of Gan would probably also know of his existence?
If that sycophant wanted to capture him to curry favor with the Empress...
The situation would be rather awkward.
The Empress would surely mock him then.
Just as Nie Yao entered Tianbao Pavilion to purchase medicinal ingredients.
Chen Nan suddenly remembered.
Before leaving the Demon Realm, Dragon King Ao Lie had given him an incense stick.
He had also said that if he were to go to the Great Gan Dynasty and light that incense, a dragon expert would come to his service.
The dragon clan's businesses spanned the entire Human Realm.
Especially in the Great Gan Dynasty, it was as expected.
If you were to ask what the Great Gan Dynasty was most famous for.
It would undoubtedly be pills.
And where did pills come from?
They certainly came from medicinal ingredients.
As the strongest force in the Demon Realm, the dragon clan.
They possessed the most medicinal ingredients.
"It seems it's time to contact the dragon clan," Chen Nan thought to himself.
After Nie Yao came out, he found an inn and stayed there.
Although he had a mystical space.
He would not be able to meet with the dragon clan experts if he stayed inside it.
At night.
Chen Nan lit the incense stick Ao Lie had given him.
The fragrance was elegant, with a sweet aftertaste.
It was very relaxing.
After the incense stick had burned out.
A knock was heard at the door, followed by an aged voice: "Ao Ji pays his respects to Master."
Chen Nan: "Enter."
The door opened.
An elder, who looked to be in his sixties, walked in with a face full of respect.
He closed the door and bowed to Chen Nan: "Ao Ji greets Master!"
Chen Nan: "No need for such formalities."
This person's strength was not bad; he possessed the cultivation of a Level Five Demon Emperor.
Ao Ji slowly straightened up, his heart filled with excitement: "This old one heard about Master's deeds in the Yan Dynasty not long ago; they were truly astonishing."
"To be able to meet Master today, my life is complete, Ao Ji."
He was not intentionally flattering Chen Nan.
These words came from the bottom of his heart.
After all, the Immortal Realm had never seen a Triple Grandmaster.
Chen Nan got straight to the point: "Have you seen the notice at the entrance of Tianbao Pavilion?"
Ao Ji: "This old one is unaware."
He held a distinguished position and rarely made public appearances.
Chen Nan said coldly: "Tianbao Pavilion posted my portrait at their entrance, stating that I and dogs are not allowed to enter. I want to know if your dragon clan has any business dealings with Tianbao Pavilion?"
"Damn it, Tianbao Pavilion actually did such a thing?" Ao Ji was furious and quickly said, "Master, rest assured, I will immediately sever all business ties with Tianbao Pavilion."
Tianbao Pavilion was the dragon clan's biggest partner.
To put it bluntly.
Seventy percent of Tianbao Pavilion's medicinal ingredients were supplied by Ao Ji.
Once their business ties were severed, Tianbao Pavilion would be swallowed up by other pharmacies before long.
After all, the dragon clan could still cooperate with others even without Tianbao Pavilion.
But without the dragon clan, Tianbao Pavilion would be insignificant.
"There's no rush for this matter. Give me one million top-grade immortal stones, and I will have someone order some spirit medicines from Tianbao Pavilion." Chen Nan was out of money and intended to make a fortune from Tianbao Pavilion.
After all, Tianbao Pavilion's advertisement was impressive.
If they failed to deliver the ordered medicinal ingredients to the customer within a week, they would compensate the customer tenfold the total price of the ingredients.
If one million was the starting capital.
That would be equivalent to a net profit of ten million.
This could be considered getting something for nothing.
Ao Ji immediately took out a storage bag and gave Chen Nan one million top-grade immortal stones.
Chen Nan said: "I will have someone order the medicinal ingredients tomorrow. You will terminate your cooperation with Tianbao Pavilion tomorrow evening."
"Your command shall be obeyed, Master!"
Ao Ji respectfully departed.
Chen Nan also called the inn's staff and ordered several of their signature dishes. Not long after.
Six small dishes, along with two pots of good wine, were brought to the room.
Nie Yao suddenly asked, "Brother Zhao, do you feel like the taste of these dishes is somewhat familiar?"
"You're right, it does feel a bit familiar," Chen Nan tasted the dishes carefully. He had tasted this flavor at the Sword Forging Academy.
Nie Yao said, "I feel it's like Senior Brother Gong Jian's cooking. Yes, if I remember correctly, he seems to be from the Great Gan Dynasty."
"Such a coincidence?" Chen Nan was amused. His spiritual power quietly enveloped the entire inn.
The next moment.
He saw the familiar胖子 in the inn's kitchen.
If it wasn't Gong Jian, who else could it be?
He hadn't expected to encounter Gong Jian in the Great Gan Dynasty, thousands of miles away.
Speaking of which, Gong Jian was his guide on the path of artifact refining.
With that in mind.
He called the inn's staff again, his face stern: "The taste of these dishes is not good. Have your head chef come over."
The staff member was a little flustered.
After all, since the inn had changed its head chef, business had been booming.
No one had ever complained about the taste.
Despite this.
He still went to the kitchen and relayed the guest's words to Gong Jian.
Gong Jian was furious upon hearing this. Wearing his apron and holding a ladle, he angrily kicked open Chen Nan's door: "Damn it, you say my cooking is not good, you motherf..."
Before he could finish, he froze.
His eyes were filled with shock.
Then, joy.
"You... why are you here?" Gong Jian looked at Chen Nan and Nie Yao incredulously, clearly not expecting to encounter the two of them in the Great Gan Dynasty.
"Alright, alright, you're not needed here, scram!" Gong Jian unfastened his apron, throwing it and the ladle to the staff member.
Chen Nan smiled and said, "Weren't you at the Sword Forging Academy? When did you come back?" He then invited him to sit down.
Gong Jian couldn't help but say, "Didn't I leave you a letter? Didn't you read it?"
Chen Nan blushed.
He had left the Sword Forging Academy for Wushuang City and hadn't returned.
He had no idea Gong Jian had left him a letter.
Gong Jian saw Chen Nan's embarrassment and chuckled, "It's nothing major, it's just that my father died, so I came back."
Pfft!
Chen Nan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Your father died, and that's not a major issue?
