Chapter 56 The Elixir Distribution Conference
Chen Xuan waved his hand coldly.
Seeing that Chen Xuan's expression was still not good, Sun Changshan's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Yesterday, with just a casual move from Chen Xuan, the Qian family had been in constant trouble. His Sun family could not afford such a commotion.
His mind raced, and he quickly said, "Master Chen, are you looking for old herbs? I don't have any rare herbs here, but I do have five stalks of old herbs in stock. I am willing to present them all to Master Chen!"
"Then why did Zhang Mengqi say the store didn't have them?" Chen Xuan frowned.
Sun Changshan explained, "Old herbs are expensive and are never kept in the shop. They are all stored at our Sun family's medicinal material headquarters."
Chen Xuan nodded faintly, "Bring them out. I'll take them all."
"I'll have someone bring you all five stalks of the old herbs right away."
After speaking, Sun Changshan immediately made a call.
Not long after, Sun Changshan's assistant personally rushed in, carrying five jade boxes, and presented the old herbs to Chen Xuan with both hands, respectfully saying, "Master Chen, here are the old herbs you requested!"
Chen Xuan took the jade boxes and opened them one by one.
Seeing that the jade boxes contained what were considered fine quality old herbs, he nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing Chen Xuan finally show a smile, Sun Changshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xuan took out a bank card from his pocket and said faintly, "Patriarch Sun, how much are these old herbs in total? I'll swipe my card."
Sun Changshan was now trying his best to curry favor with Chen Xuan, and he finally had an opportunity. How could he do something as foolish as accepting money?
Although these old herbs were precious, they were still a quantifiable item. However, Chen Xuan's favor was priceless!
He immediately put on a righteous expression and said, "Master Chen, you are insulting me. How can I accept your money?"
Chen Xuan had already amassed hundreds of millions through selling elixirs and was not lacking in a few million. He said faintly, "Do you think I'm short of a few million?"
Seeing Chen Xuan's expression, it didn't seem like he still harbored resentment.
He was momentarily unsure how to refuse Chen Xuan.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, glanced at Chen Xuan, and cautiously asked, "Master Chen, do you happen to know Black Tiger from the martial world?"
"Black Tiger?"
Chen Xuan's eyebrows rose, and he said, "Of course I know him. Do you know him too, Patriarch Sun?"
Sun Changshan's expression instantly became extremely excited. He grabbed Chen Xuan's arm and said, "Master Chen, you must help me by speaking on my behalf, so that I can participate in that elixir distribution conference."
Although Black Tiger and Sun Changshan had attended the opening ceremony of Yi Shen Pharmaceutical, Black Tiger and Sun Changshan were not on the same side and did not know each other.
Chen Xuan was confused and asked, "What elixir distribution conference?"
Sun Changshan gave a wry smile and explained, "Black Tiger sent messages to many medicinal material merchants yesterday, stating that he was going to hold an elixir distribution conference. Only wealthy individuals who participate in the distribution conference will have the opportunity to obtain quotas for the elixirs. I want to participate in the distribution conference, but I don't know Black Tiger. So, I tried to find connections to mediate, but I was driven out by that scoundrel Black Tiger. Therefore, I want you to help me speak to him so that I can participate in the distribution conference."
Chen Xuan was also stunned for a few seconds after listening. He hadn't expected Black Tiger to create such a stir with the elixir distribution conference.
Sun Changshan's thoughts turned, and he cautiously asked, "Master Chen, are the elixirs that Black Tiger has the same as the ones you gave me before?"
Although those elixirs were round like jade, their effects were similar to the elixirs Chen Xuan had given him, which was why he suspected that these elixirs were refined by Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan did not hide it and nodded, "I refined them, but please keep it a secret for me, Patriarch Sun."
Upon hearing this, Sun Changshan stamped his feet in regret.
He had those elixirs in his hands long ago, but he hadn't paid much attention to them. Otherwise, he would have controlled the distribution rights of those elixirs!
He could only say with a wry smile, "Master Chen, don't worry. I know Master Chen is low-key and will definitely not leak it. Please, help me speak to Black Tiger."
Chen Xuan nodded faintly, "Okay, I'll give Black Tiger a call later, and I'll also ask him to take good care of you."
Sun Changshan was overjoyed and quickly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Master Chen."
"As for medicinal materials, I will need Patriarch Sun to work hard and help me collect a batch of old herbs. If you perform well, I can make you equal to Black Tiger and give you control over the elixir distribution rights." Chen Xuan said faintly.
Sun Changshan was the king of medicinal materials. If Chen Xuan needed to refine elixirs in the future, he would still need Sun Changshan to supply him with old herbs, which was why he said this.
Sun Changshan remembered the humiliation he suffered from Black Tiger yesterday and was immediately grateful. He knelt before Chen Xuan with a plop, "I, Sun Changshan, am willing to serve Master Chen with all my might!"
Chen Xuan looked at Sun Changshan kneeling on the ground, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.
It was just distribution rights for elixirs, and the dignified king of medicinal materials in Jiangzhou actually knelt before him?!
The people around were dumbfounded!
Chen Xuan's eyes flickered with confusion. He reached out and helped Sun Changshan up, saying, "Patriarch Sun, why do you need to make such a grand gesture?"
Sun Changshan stood up and slowly said, "Master Chen, your elixirs are said to be miraculous in high society. If I can obtain the distribution rights, it will play a crucial role in consolidating our Sun family's status as the king of medicinal materials."
Chen Xuan nodded.
It was understandable. Although the elixirs were not numerous, they possessed immense influence and appeal. For medicinal material merchants like Sun Changshan, they were of great value.
"It's nothing. I'll be going now," Chen Xuan said.
"Farewell, Master Chen!"
At the entrance of the pharmacy, Sun Changshan, his assistant, and the store employees respectfully watched Chen Xuan leave.
Chen Xuan bid farewell to Sun Changshan, got into his car with the five stalks of old herbs, and prepared to go home when he received a call from Black Tiger.
"Hello, Black Tiger, what's up?" Chen Xuan asked impatiently.
Black Tiger chuckled and said, "We're holding the elixir distribution conference tonight. I'd like to invite Mr. Chen as a VIP."
"VIP?" Chen Xuan was taken aback and said with a half-smile.
Black Tiger gave a sheepish smile and had to tell the truth, "Mr. Chen, you are now the Vice President of Yi Shen Pharmaceutical. I hope you can come and help me stabilize the situation!"
For this elixir distribution conference, Black Tiger had invited many prominent figures from the Jiangzhou area.
To put it bluntly, Black Tiger was a rogue who couldn't get on stage. Those prominent figures would not have come to the elixir distribution conference if it weren't for the elixirs.
Without a prominent figure to preside, not only would they be unable to sell the elixirs, but he himself might not be able to save face.
But Chen Xuan was different; he was now a rising star in Jiangzhou!
After all, Chen Xuan also had a vested interest in the elixirs. Chen Xuan readily agreed.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
Black Tiger was instantly extremely excited.
With Chen Xuan stabilizing the situation for him, wouldn't those arrogant old dogs who thought highly of themselves obediently listen?
Chen Xuan instructed, "Remember, don't reveal my identity."
"Mr. Chen, please rest assured. I know you are low-key. Publicly, I've always said that I found a secluded divine doctor and am helping that secluded divine doctor sell elixirs," Black Tiger said.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said, "You've done well. Send me the address later."
"Black Tiger awaits Mr. Chen's esteemed presence!" Black Tiger said respectfully.
