Chapter 1072: War Profits

Wen Tiansheng cursed inwardly upon hearing this.

Based on his understanding of Wang Jianqiang, this brat was most likely spouting nonsense.

Yet, he had no way to deal with it.

Because at this level, every Alchemist had already embarked on their own Dao.

Their respective methods of Alchemy were all different.

How to perform Alchemy was entirely up to Wang Jianqiang.

If Wang Jianqiang were to secretly sabotage things, even if the only Eighth-Rank Alchemist in Youzhou came in person, they would be unable to spot any issues.

Just as his expression kept changing, Wang Jianqiang's voice suddenly came again.

His tone was persuasive.

"Old brother, if you ask me, since the situation in Youzhou is already this urgent, it is better to play it safe."

"Besides, the Pills I refine aren't just for the experts of our Beast Taming Sect to eat; at worst, whoever eats them can just be asked to cover the costs."

"It's not like the Beast Taming Sect has to pay out of its own pocket."

"Why are you worrying about this?"

Wen Tiansheng was stunned.

That's true!

And...

The Pills refined by their own Alchemist still had to be delivered to the front-line battlefield by their own people...

Taking a little kickback shouldn't be a problem, right?

Thinking of this, the conflict in his heart instantly vanished.

A relaxed and pleasant smile appeared on his face, "Ah, wise for a lifetime, confused for a moment."

"Brother is right, safety first."

"I believe the Daoist Friends on the front line will understand."

"After all, no matter when, resources are never as important as one's own life."

After speaking, he looked at Wang Jianqiang with deep meaning, "Brother, whether we two can make a fortune this time depends entirely on you."

Wang Jianqiang also started to laugh.

"Brother, what is your success rate for Alchemy, and roughly how many portions of Medicinal Herbs do you need to refine one Pill?"

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment and said, "To be safe, I need five portions of raw materials."

Wen Tiansheng nodded silently, "Ten portions of Medicinal Herbs? You are still young after all, having just broken through to become an Eighth-Rank Alchemist not long ago; it is understandable that you consume more materials."

Wang Jianqiang froze, looking at Wen Tiansheng in utter astonishment, "Old man, you're quite dark; I work myself to the bone to earn one or two portions of raw materials, and you just move your lips and earn five?"

"That is not the right way to put it."

Wen Tiansheng shook his head, "After all, we are making war profits; it sounds bad, and if discovered, we would need to bear the risks."

"I am not taking these five portions of raw materials for nothing; if any problems arise, I, the Beast Taming Sect Master, will take the responsibility."

Although he said that, letting others take the lion's share was not Wang Jianqiang's style.

He shook his head, "Bullshit risk, can't I just not refine them?"

"Brother, we can't say things in anger; if you don't refine the Pills, Youzhou won't be able to hold out, and if Youzhou can't hold out, the Immortal Abandoned Land will be finished too."

Wang Jianqiang curled his lips, "If the Immortal Abandoned Land is finished, then it's finished. With Xiaobai, Fire Fairy, and Ji Jie here, at worst I'll abandon the Immortal Abandoned Land and take all my family and friends to flee the Immortal Abandoned Land."

"Old man, you don't think I, Wang Jianqiang, must be this savior, do you?"

Wen Tiansheng was stunned for a while before he realized who the three people Wang Jianqiang mentioned were.

He immediately cursed inwardly.

Not to mention Bai Xianzi, Xuan Ji's strength was also enough to withstand a Great Vehicle Late Stage Cultivator.

Plus that female Cultivator native to the Immortal Abandoned Land who was at the Void Refinement Perfection Stage and could fight across ranks against Great Vehicle Stage Cultivators.

With these three joining forces, wanting to take Wang Jianqiang and a few others to flee the Immortal Abandoned Land would be effortless.

And this little brat was selfish; he might really do what he said.

His expression flickered, and he shook his head with a smile, "Brother, don't be impulsive; the Immortal Abandoned Land is, after all, a Treasure Land that can extend one's lifespan, how can we give it up so easily?"

"How about this, including the costs for refining the Eighth-Tier Pill, you take six portions of raw materials."

Wang Jianqiang curled his lips, "I want ninety percent."

Wen Tiansheng sighed, "Brother, it's not easy for me to manage a large sect, and you are also a Vice Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect; you should make some contributions to the sect."

"You take seventy percent in total, and I only want thirty percent; this is acceptable, right?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "I take eighty percent; ten percent is considered shared with you, and the other ten percent is my contribution to the sect as a Vice Sect Master."

"This is the limit, otherwise, forget it."

Wen Tiansheng frowned, "You little brat, you are too dark; you've stripped away more than half of my share."

"Brother, that is not the right way to put it. If it weren't for me, wouldn't you be unable to get even that smaller half? Besides, these are all raw materials for refining Eighth-Tier Pills; every single stalk is precious beyond compare."

"Even if it's only twenty percent, it can be called a windfall."

Wen Tiansheng sighed, "I am only earning a bit of hard-earned money... sigh, fine, twenty percent it is."

After speaking, he said to Wang Jianqiang, "Give me the list of what you need to refine the Eighth-Tier Pill, and I will go get the Medicinal Herbs."

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile.

He took out a Jade Slip and recorded the Medicinal Herbs for refining the Green Jade Life-Prolonging Pill inside it.

Afterward, his heart stirred, and he added some more Medicinal Herbs.

These few types of Medicinal Herbs were not for refining the Green Jade Life-Prolonging Pill, but were raw materials for refining the Plastic Fetus Pill.

The Plastic Fetus Pill was exactly what he had previously refined for Lan Feng, an Eighth-Tier Pill that could assist Void Refinement Perfection Stage Cultivators in breaking through to the Great Vehicle Stage.

He has a large family business.

The future demand for this Plastic Fetus Pill will be very high.

Preparing some in advance is better than being caught unprepared.

"That is all."

A moment later, Wang Jianqiang handed the Jade Slip to Wen Tiansheng.

After Wen Tiansheng took the Jade Slip and examined it, his heart stirred.

The types of Medicinal Herb recorded in this Jade Slip are numerous; it is clearly not for refining only one type of Pill.

This kid is taking advantage of the situation.

Too ruthless!

However, he did not say much.

In any case, it does not require the Beast Taming Sect to foot the bill.

The Beast Taming Sect is merely paying on behalf of others.

Once the Pill is delivered to the front line, he can just demand the raw materials back.

Not only that, he also has a twenty percent cut of the profits.

The more Wang Jianqiang earns, the more he earns as well.

Thinking of this, he smiled and put the Jade Slip away.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke, "To refine one Eighth-tier Pill, how many Pills for recovering Spiritual Power are needed?"

Wang Jianqiang thought for a moment, "One thousand, perhaps."

The corner of Wen Tiansheng's mouth twitched, "That's enough; you are being too exaggerated, it doesn't make sense."
