After Jun Changxiao returned to Wangu Sect, he kept thinking about that group of black-robed masked figures who had abducted Tang Ren.

One thing was certain—this group of martial artists was definitely not the same batch that had appeared before, because they didn’t recognize him.

Why did he guess this?

Because Jun Changxiao had dealt with them many times, and the other party had always suffered losses before leaving.

If it were the same batch of people, they would have recognized him early on and fled immediately, rather than stupidly continuing to abduct Young Master Tang.

“Every time there’s a Wuhuang—just how powerful is this dark sect force?” Jun Changxiao murmured.

What he found most incomprehensible was—

After being suppressed by him, that group of black-robed masked figures had self-destructed without the slightest hesitation!

If they were at the Wuzong or Wushi levels, it would be understandable.

But those were emperor and king-level experts! How long must they have cultivated to grow that strong? To self-destruct just like that—they really didn’t value their own lives at all!

Or perhaps—

Had they undergone training similar to that of assassins?

Knowing they couldn’t escape and fearing they’d reveal secrets under torture, they could only end their lives through death?

If that were the case—

Then they truly were a group of extreme madmen!

For him and his sect to be targeted by such a dark sect force made things increasingly difficult.

“Sigh.”

Jun Changxiao rubbed his temples and said, “So annoying.”

Even facing two third-rate evil sects hadn’t given him this much pressure. Only this dark sect force, which consistently left no traces, made him feel powerless.

“Sect Master Jun.”

Tang Ren inquired, “What are you thinking about?”

“Uh…”

Jun Changxiao came back to his senses and said, “Young Master Tang, let’s talk about business.”

“Certainly,” Tang Ren nodded.

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao took out a low-grade Qi Gathering Pill and said, “Young Master Tang, this is a type of pill refined by my Wangu Sect. After taking it, it can increase spiritual power absorption speed by ten times, lasting for two hours.”

Tang Ren’s eyes widened.

A pill that increased spiritual power absorption by ten times—he had never even heard of such a thing!

“Sect Master Jun.”

Tang Ren said, “You’re not joking, are you?”

Jun Changxiao waved his hand and said, “Young Master Tang, if you don’t believe it, you can try it.”

“This…” Tang Ren fell silent.

Jun Changxiao said, “Jun is sincere about doing business with Young Master Tang. If we don’t even have a bit of trust between us, then it’s meaningless.”

“True.”

Tang Ren didn’t hesitate and swallowed the pill.

He didn’t think the Wangu Sect master would poison the pill—that would be too beneath his dignity.

“Whoosh—”

The pill melted upon entering his mouth. Shortly after, streams of energy spread throughout his body, continuously stimulating his meridians and every inch of skin and pores!

Tang Ren circulated his cultivation method through the greater and lesser heavenly circuits, and immediately felt the heaven and earth attributes gathered in the great hall surging in like waves, at a speed at least ten times faster than normal!

This pill could really accelerate spiritual power absorption!

At that moment—

The Tang Family’s second young master’s mind was shaken, and his eyes lit up immediately!

Such a powerful pill—once sold on the Xingyun Continent, it would certainly cause a huge sensation!

Business opportunity.

A massive business opportunity!

Having seen much of the world, Tang Ren couldn’t help but exclaim, “Incredible, incredible!”

Jun Changxiao said, “Young Master Tang, if this pill is taken by those at the Meridian Opening, Wutu, or Wushi levels, the effect of absorbing spiritual power will only be better.”

Although low-grade Qi Gathering Pills had no realm restrictions, practical testing had confirmed that the higher one’s realm, the more the efficiency and absorption time would be greatly reduced after taking them.

For those at Wuzong and Wuwang levels and above, taking mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills or higher was the best choice.

Jun Changxiao wouldn’t consider selling mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills because the sect disciples didn’t have enough for themselves—how could there be extras to sell?

Tang Ren gradually calmed down and said, “To refine such a powerful pill, your sect must have a master with extremely high pill-refining skills, right?”

Jun Changxiao smiled without speaking.

Tang Ren continued, “If I’m not mistaken, the pills sold by the Ai Family should also come from your sect, right?”

“Correct.”

Jun Changxiao didn’t deny it.

They were both smart people—no need to be evasive.

Moreover, letting the Tang Family’s second young master understand some things would help establish a better cooperative relationship.

The current Jun Changxiao wanted to speak of his advantages. If the other party was a qualified merchant, he would definitely cooperate actively and enthusiastically.

“I see, I see.”

Tang Ren’s confusion was resolved.

The originally ordinary Ai Family of Huyang City suddenly had two miraculous pills—it turned out they were provided by Wangu Sect.

Sect Master Jun having his disciples intercept him, then pretending to rescue him, was probably also to deliberately approach him and find a more reliable business partner.

This Tang Family second young master was truly clever, having guessed Jun Changxiao’s previous purpose.

“Sect Master Jun.”

Tang Ren inquired, “How many of these pills are there?”

Jun Changxiao placed his finger on the table, lightly tapping for a while, then smiled and said, “As many as Young Master Tang wants.”

What an audacious statement!

The medicinal materials needed for low-grade Qi Gathering Pills weren’t high grade and were easy to find—they could completely manage 24-hour non-stop refining!

“A hundred thousand pills?”

“We have them.”

“What about the price?”

Jun Changxiao said, “The pills are provided by my Wangu Sect. Young Master Tang is responsible for providing sales channels and pricing, then we split fifty-fifty.”

There was no need for a seventy-thirty or sixty-forty split—keep it simple!

“Excellent!” Tang Ren said.

This type of pill that could increase spiritual power absorption tenfold would definitely drive martial artists crazy once it hit the market. Selling each pill for a price comparable to an artificial spirit stone wouldn’t be difficult at all!

“Young Master Tang.”

Jun Changxiao took out another pill and said, “This is a healing pill researched by my sect. After taking it, injuries can be rapidly healed.”

Tang Ren said, “The type the Ai Family sells?”

Jun Changxiao shook his head and said, “What the Ai Family sells is just the basic version, suitable for the Meridian Opening and Wutu levels. This healing pill is the advanced version, which can treat injuries at the Wushi and Wuzong levels.”

“Really?”

Tang Ren’s mind shook, and his eyes lit up again.

“I also have a detoxification pill here that can neutralize a hundred poisons,” Jun Changxiao added.

“Neutralize a hundred poisons?”

Tang Ren was immediately stunned.

Detoxification pills were quite common on the market, but most only counteracted specific poisons. He had never heard of one that could neutralize a hundred poisons!

Originally a Tang Family second young master who had weathered the business world and seen much, Tang Ren suddenly felt ill-informed when faced with the various pills Jun Changxiao produced!

“Sect Master Jun.”

Tang Ren said, “If you have any other good things, please bring them out and let Tang see them!”

“Clap!”

Jun Changxiao placed the Hanfeng Sword on the table and said, “Young Master Tang, please evaluate this sword.”

“Swish!”

Tang Ren took it in hand and immediately felt a faint cold aura emanating from the scabbard.

“Clang!”

Drawing the sword from its sheath, cold aura spread!

Tang Ren held the sword horizontally before him, his two fingers gently stroking the blade. He exclaimed in admiration, “An excellent sword!”

He had seen many weapons in his family home. Just from the feel and touch, he could deduce the Hanfeng Sword’s level must be at the mid-to-high grade.

Especially the craftsmanship—impeccable!

“Sect Master Jun.”

Tang Ren said seriously, “Even Master Fan might not be able to forge something this perfect!”

Master Fan was a legend in the forging world of the Xingyun Continent. Every weapon he forged was treasured like a precious jewel.

To give the Hanfeng Sword such an evaluation was already very high!

Jun Changxiao said, “Young Master Tang, there’s something Jun must state clearly in advance.”

“Please speak,” Tang Ren said.

“If you and I cooperate, please keep the source of the pills and weapons confidential.”

This was continuing the cooperation model with the Ai Family—not letting the world know that the pills and weapons came from Wangu Sect.

Tang Ren understood Jun Changxiao’s meaning and said seriously, “Please rest assured, Sect Master Jun. Tang will not tell others about our cooperation.”

“Good.”

Jun Changxiao said, “I will entrust the selling rights for these three types of pills and one type of weapon to Young Master Tang. I hope our cooperation is pleasant and mutually beneficial!”

Both sides brought out paper and drafted a cooperation agreement.

“Sect Master Jun.”

After signing and sealing, Tang Ren cupped his fists and said, “Tang’s visit to Wangu Sect has not been in vain!”
