Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Beitang Family.

Beitang Feng looked troubled as he faced Nangong Shengtian, who was composed and at ease, and said with a wry smile, "Ancestor Nangong, please stop making things difficult for me!"

Nangong Shengtian glanced at him and said indifferently, "Beitang Feng, considering the relationship between our two families over so many years, are you really unwilling to do me this small favor? I promise you that once the deal is successful, I will repay all the previous debts to you!"

When he thought of the secret recipe he had received. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

It was a secret recipe that could double the rate of successful pill concoction and the rate of producing premium-grade pills!

With the low prices at which he obtained medicinal ingredients from the Beitang Family, even selling them at one-tenth of the price would be profitable.

That was precisely where Nangong Shengtian's confidence lay.

Beitang Feng, with a mournful face, said, "Ancestor Nangong, for your sake, I've already been scolded by the people from Medicine King Valley several times for shouldering that previous debt of fifteen trillion Silver. Now you want me to procure another ten trillion Silver of goods, it's simply impossible!"

As it turned out.

Nangong Shengtian had come this time to procure another ten trillion Silver worth of medicinal ingredients from the Beitang Family.

However...

They already owed fifteen trillion Silver from before, and it was only because the relationship between the Beitang Family and Medicine King Valley was strong enough that they had been able to delay payment. Otherwise, given the Medicine King Valley's domineering manner of doing things, they would have already come knocking at their door.

Bang!

Nangong Shengtian slammed his cup onto the tea table and angrily said, "Beitang Feng, this time you have to help whether you like it or not. If you help us, I will give you an additional one trillion Silver on top of the debts owed by the Nangong Family as compensation!"

"This…"

Beitang Feng's expression shifted slightly.

Selling medicinal ingredients was not as profitable as selling pills.

One trillion Silver was equivalent to his entire year's profit.

Seeing Beitang Feng tempted, Nangong Shengtian pressed his advantage and said, "Once we take down Treasure Pavilion and seize their market share, I am willing to give you thirty percent of Treasure Pavilion's shops, how about that?"

Thirty percent of the shops?

Beitang Feng's heart trembled, knowing that the shops of Treasure Pavilion were by no means fewer than those of the Nangong Family.

If he could get one trillion Silver in rewards, plus the thirty percent of the shops.

This deal would be equivalent to earning nearly two trillion Silver!

With that thought.

Beitang Feng was about to agree when, at that moment, a servant rushed in, "Master, Ning, the Vice Pavilion Master of Treasure Pavilion, is here requesting an audience!"

"Hmm?"

Beitang Feng was startled, "Ning Luo? What's he doing here?"

Nangong Shengtian's gaze shifted and he said in a deep voice, "I'll excuse myself for a moment!"

"Alright!"

Beitang Feng nodded, then turned to the servant, "Bring the person in!"

A moment later.

Ning Luo appeared in the hall, his face carrying a radiant smile as he greeted, "Mr. Beitang, long time no see, how have you been?"

"Vice Pavilion Master Ning, it has been some time since you last visited my residence, what brings you here today?" Beitang Feng responded coolly, already accustomed to acting superior from having had a stranglehold on the medicinal ingredient supply to Treasure Pavilion for so long.

Ning Luo replied with a wry smile, "Mr. Beitang, you should be aware that recently our Treasure Pavilion and the Nangong Family have been in a price war. We are quickly running out of medicinal ingredients and are urgently searching for supplies. The Pavilion Master asked me to come to you for help!"

"Oh? I thought you had already found another source for your medicinal ingredients, why seek my help?" Beitang Feng said mockingly.

Ning Luo shook his head with a bitter smile, "Mr. Beitang, you should know where those medicinal materials come from. The black market in Beast Emperor City is really too extortionate; they know about our critical struggle against the Nangong Family and suddenly broke the contract, unilaterally raising prices. We just can't afford it, so we have no choice but to turn to you..."

"Oh?"

Beitang Feng's eyes moved subtly, and Nangong Shengtian's voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "Ask him how much medicinal ingredients he needs!"

"Deputy Pavilion Master Ning, how much medicinal material do you need?" Beitang Feng asked.

Ning Luo replied solemnly, "I won't hide it from you, we had originally agreed with Beast Emperor City to purchase medicinal materials worth two hundred trillion Silver, but they suddenly raised the price, demanding three hundred trillion. The Pavilion Master hopes that you can sell us two hundred trillion worth of goods at the original price!"

"Two hundred trillion?"

Beitang Feng's pupils shrank slightly.

Goods worth two hundred trillion Silver, at the price he sold to Treasure Pavilion, would net a profit of fifty trillion Silver.

"Agree to it!"

The voice of Nangong Shengtian once again resounded in his mind, "But demand a hundred trillion Silver as a deposit!"

Beitang Feng took a deep breath, squinting his eyes and said, "I can provide the goods for you, but I need a hundred trillion Silver as a deposit!"

"A hundred trillion Silver for a deposit? Isn't that too much?" Ning Luo's face changed slightly, showing hesitation.

Beitang Feng said indifferently, "If you think it's too much, you don't have to buy!"

"This..."

Ning Luo showed a struggling expression and, gritting his teeth, said, "Very well, please sign a contract with me, Mr. Beitang!"

"Agreed!"

Beitang Feng immediately took out paper and pen, and the two signed a contract.

Treasure Pavilion paid a hundred trillion Silver as a deposit to order goods worth two hundred trillion Silver, and the Beitang Family would deliver within seven days. If the Beitang Family failed to provide the goods after seven days, they would compensate Treasure Pavilion with one hundred and fifty trillion Silver.

At the same time...

If Treasure Pavilion couldn't come up with the remaining one hundred trillion Silver within seven days, the transaction would be void, and the deposit would not be refunded!

All these were the same as the usual contracts.

Beitang Feng wasn't concerned.

Ning Luo said solemnly, "Mr. Beitang, you must hurry. The goods must be delivered to me within seven days!"

"Don't worry, this isn't our first transaction!" Beitang Feng said with a smile.

Ning Luo left immediately.

Only then did Nangong Shengtian come out from behind, watching the direction in which Ning Luo left with a cold smile on his face, "It's really like a pillow arriving in time for someone wanting to sleep, Treasure Pavilion, oh Treasure Pavilion, it seems Heaven wants you doomed, don't blame me for this!"

Beitang Feng asked with a heavy tone, "Ancestor Nangong, what do you plan to do?"

Nangong Shengtian said, "Naturally, I'm going to use your hundred trillion Silver to buy medicinal materials for myself!"

"But that's Treasure Pavilion's deposit. If I use the money to buy materials for you, and they ask me for the goods, I won't be able to produce them and will have to compensate with one hundred and fifty trillion Silver!" Beitang Feng frowned and said.

"Don't worry, they won't last seven days!"

Nangong Shengtian sneered with confidence, "As long as you get the goods to me as fast as possible, within three days, I will make sure that Treasure Pavilion can't continue operating!"

"Are you sure?"

Beitang Feng frowned and said.

This matter could not be taken lightly, a single misstep could shake the very foundation of the Beitang Family!

Recalling the miraculous prescription in his mind, Nangong Shengtian patted his chest, guaranteeing solemnly, "Just be at ease, I assure you there will be no problem!"

"If that's the case, then I will trust you this time!" Beitang Feng said resolutely, nodding, "I will set off immediately, and at the latest by tomorrow morning, I will have the medicinal materials delivered to you!"

Nangong Shengtian's face glowed with anticipation, "Treasure Pavilion, this is really digging your own grave, hahaha..."

A moment later.

Nangong Shengtian quietly left the Beitang Family, riding away in his luxurious carriage.

But Nangong Shengtian did not notice.

Across from the Beitang Family, on top of a tavern where he was drinking with Ning Luo, Xiao Yi's lips curved up slightly, watching the slowly departing carriage, "Nangong Sheng, you are really digging your own grave!"
