Chapter 88

Inside the Qingxuan Blessed Land.

Ye Qingxuan received a message from Zhu Dafu, stroked his chin, and muttered:

"The Zhu Merchant House wants to buy my Nuclear Explosion Pill formula? Interesting!"

In fact, the value of the Nuclear Explosion Pill formula is not as great as outsiders imagine.

The reason the Nuclear Explosion Pill became so popular cannot be separated from the support of the Nuclear Explosion production line.

Without the supporting Nuclear Explosion production line to provide sufficient output, the Nuclear Explosion Pill could absolutely not be as popular as it is now.

Therefore, a single Nuclear Explosion Pill formula holds little value.

Some insightful High-Realm cultivators, or cultivators who practice both alchemy and artifacts, talismans, and arrays, can decipher the Nuclear Explosion Pill without much difficulty if they are willing to spend time studying it.

After all, the Nuclear Explosion Pill is merely a good idea; in Ye Qingxuan's view, there is no significant technical complexity in refining it.

At any rate, when he refines it himself, he feels it is quite easy.

The key reason the Nuclear Explosion Pill could be developed by Ye Qingxuan was ultimately a matter of mindset.

Sometimes, just a thought or a different direction can bring huge changes to a matter, or even a world.

The method may not be difficult, but if one hasn't thought of it, one hasn't thought of it; sometimes the cage of habitual thinking is very sturdy.

If Ye Qingxuan had not combined the thinking of his past life with this one, he might not have been able to create the series of Nuclear Explosion Pills and the Nuclear Explosion production line.

The Zhu Merchant House only wants to buy the Nuclear Explosion Pill formula and knows nothing of the existence of the Nuclear Explosion production line; they are destined to be unable to mass-produce the pills even if they obtain the formula, and their profits will drop drastically.

Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment.

Selling the Nuclear Explosion Pill is acceptable, but since the Zhu Merchant House is where Zhu Dafu comes from, would it be unethical to trick them?

After all, he has seen how hard Zhu Dafu has worked, running back and forth for the Tianfu shop, exerting himself with great effort.

"Forget it, no more thinking; let's ask Zhu Dafu directly!"

Thus, Ye Qingxuan took out his disciple token and threw the question back to Zhu Dafu: "Zhu Dafu, the Nuclear Explosion Pill formula can be sold, but there is a trap. Whether to sell it to the Zhu Merchant House is your decision. Once you decide, have the other side quote a price to me first."

At the same time, Ye Qingxuan began to ponder what he still lacked.

He planned to sell several more copies of the formula before the trap in the Nuclear Explosion Pill formula spread, taking advantage of the current hype to make a huge profit.

After surveying his Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

He could ask for more spirit ore and spirit herb seeds while he was at it.

Although spirit herb seeds are not expensive, high-grade seeds and seeds of some special spirit plants are extremely rare.

Perhaps this time he could use the Nuclear Explosion Pill formula to gather a batch of scarce spirit plant seeds.

Moreover, although his Blessed Land is very spacious and he has planted many flowers, grasses, vines, and trees, he still feels it lacks a bit of vitality.

Should he take this opportunity to raise some spirit beasts? Spirit beasts differ from demon beasts; the primordial spirits of demon beasts are naturally violent and cannot be contracted by cultivators. Even if they are forcibly enslaved using various magic treasures, one must always be on guard against their counterattacks.

But spirit beasts are different; their primordial spirits are very gentle, naturally close to all things, and can be contracted by cultivators. However, compared to demon beasts, their numbers are far too scarce, making them extremely precious.

Just as Ye Qingxuan fell into deep thought, preparing to use the hype of the Nuclear Explosion Pill to make another fortune,

Zhu Dafu had already fallen into turmoil, his face looking as if he were constipated.

He had just thrown the problem back to Ye Qingxuan, only to find Ye Qingxuan throwing it back at him again, and there's a trap? He sees Ye Qingxuan as a trap himself.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Dafu threw the problem to his father, Zhu Chuixiang, sending a direct message: "Father, the Nuclear Explosion Pill formula can be sold, but there might be a trap in it. You decide."

Although he wanted to vent his anger in front of the Zhu Merchant House, the Zhu Merchant House is after all where he was born, and it still contains his parents and siblings.

If the Zhu Merchant House truly suffered a heavy blow, Zhu Dafu would feel somewhat reluctant.

On the other side, Zhu Chuixiang, far away at the headquarters of the Zhu Merchant House in Lizhou County, Xingzhou, began to turn his eyes constantly after receiving his son's message.

Seeing this, Zhu's mother beside him pushed him and said:

"Enough, stop turning. What did the son say?" Zhu Chuixiang said nothing, but simply showed Zhu's mother the message sent by Zhu Dafu.

After looking at it, Zhu's mother hesitated and said:

"Fu'er would not lie to us. How about we don't buy this Nuclear Explosion Pill formula after all?"

But at this moment, Zhu Chuixiang straightened his eyes and directly refuted: "No, we will buy this Nuclear Explosion Pill. After all, this time the money comes from the Second Branch. If they don't want to share a piece of the pie, let them bear the consequences themselves."

"We will not only buy it, but also spread the news to let more factions come and buy. However, the prerequisite is to negotiate a commission with the owner of the Nuclear Explosion Pill formula first. Asking for 5% should not be excessive, right?"

Since the other party agreed to sell the Nuclear Explosion Pill formula, they certainly would not mind selling to more buyers.

He, Zhu Chuixiang, is helping the other party bring in more buyers; asking for a bit of hard-earned fee should not be excessive, right?

Hearing Zhu Chuixiang's plan, Zhu's mother said with some worry:

"After they discover they have been trapped, will they take their anger out on us?"

"What is there to fear? It was them who forced us to contact our son. After the news spreads, it is other factions who are eager to buy themselves. What does it have to do with us?"

However, although he said so, Zhu Chuixiang thought of some possible consequences and still felt a bit scared in his heart, so he sent the plan to his son, Zhu Dafu, again.

He let Zhu Dafu and the existence behind him discuss the detailed plan themselves.

But his requirement for Zhu Dafu was that the commission must be given to him, and he must not have any possibility of bearing danger.

After all, since he is communicating with his own son, he should definitely demand a bit more.

Zhu Dafu, receiving the message again, slapped his forehead and said speechlessly: "How did it come back to me again?"

After looking at the content of his father's message, Zhu Dafu felt helpless.

But since it concerns the safety of his parents, he could only tell Ye Qingxuan the plan and mention his father's requirements.

However, Zhu Dafu raised the commission ratio to 15%.

Inside the Qingxuan Blessed Land.

After Ye Qingxuan looked at the plan sent by Zhu Dafu, his gaze stopped on the 15% commission ratio, and a playful expression appeared on his face as he said: "Are they playing distribution with me?"

Although Ye Qingxuan did not know how many times this ratio had been flipped, he knew it certainly was not the original ratio.

As for the plan, Ye Qingxuan was very much in agreement.

However, since it concerns the safety of his employee's family, it indeed needs to be planned carefully.

After a moment of thought, Ye Qingxuan directly sent a message to Zhu Dafu: "Have anyone from the Zhu family who wants to buy the Nuclear Explosion Elixir contact you directly, and tell them straight that refining the Nuclear Explosion Elixir is quite difficult; advise them not to buy it."

"If they insist on buying, we bear no responsibility for any after-sales issues."

"As for the commission, your father only needs to handle spreading the news; he doesn't need to worry about anything else. I will give your father a 3% commission. Whether he accepts it or not is up to him."

Ye Qingxuan was not worried that those people would back down upon hearing that refining was difficult; after all, the sales volume of the Tianfu Shop was right there for all to see.

If the Tianfu Shop could mass-produce it, how could they be scared off by a single claim that the refining difficulty was high?

They would only think this was an excuse from the Tianfu Shop, unwilling to sell the formula for the Nuclear Explosion Elixir to them.

Tianfu Shop.

After receiving Ye Qingxuan's reply, Zhu Dafu paused, then muttered in complaint, "Is this how you negotiate? That's a brutal cut!"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Dafu gave up on trying to bargain with Ye Qingxuan and directly told his father the plan.

On the other side.

After seeing the plan, Zhu Chuixiang, realizing he could remove himself from the situation, immediately agreed to the 1% commission.

After all, it was just spreading some gossip; there were many subtle ways to do it without taking much risk. This money was as good as picked up from the ground.

As for why it was only 1%, it was because Zhu Dafu had deducted another 2 percentage points from it.
