Chapter 48: The Partnership Agreed

How old is Wei Yang? Despite his youthful appearance, the intelligence that the Xiao family gathered indicates he's not even eighteen!

Not yet eighteen, and already a Tier 2 Alchemist? Oh, and he has a friend who is also a Tier 2 Alchemist! This is truly astonishing! Xiao Zhan thought about this, his mouth twitched, and he took a deep breath of cold air.

This is what true genius looks like!

Even if Yan'er had his talent, he probably wouldn't match up.

Xiao Zhan was deeply amazed.

Looking at the hall that had fallen silent in shock, Wei Yang lightly coughed, bringing everyone back to reality.

"Uh." Xiao Zhan's face turned slightly red, and he awkwardly smiled. His eyes showed more and more respect towards Wei Yang. "Doctor Wei, um, no, Alchemist Wei… Mr. Wei."

"Let's talk about the profit-sharing now, I have some other matters to attend to later," Wei Yang reminded.

"Oh, okay." Xiao Zhan nodded, pondered for a moment, and then tentatively proposed, "How about this: our Xiao family will handle the sales of these pills. We will try to sell them at the highest price possible. From the total revenue, you will take ninety percent, and the remaining ten percent… although it's a bit thick-skinned of us, we do need manpower and channels for the operation… Mr. Wei, what do you think of this arrangement?"

After speaking, Xiao Zhan looked at Wei Yang anxiously, fearing that his terms would dissatisfy the other party.

After all, the pills are ready-made, and their quality is top-notch.

The Xiao family did not contribute anything.

Selling them?

Isn't that as easy as lifting a hand?

"Hehe." Wei Yang chuckled lightly and waved his hand dismissively.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan's face changed slightly.

Sure enough, the other party was dissatisfied.

The members of the Xiao family in the hall became anxious upon seeing this.

The three elders repeatedly signaled to Xiao Zhan with their eyes.

Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth, preparing to lower the Xiao family's share to half a percent. No matter what, he couldn't let Wei Yang slip away today.

Wei Yang saw this and immediately understood their misunderstanding, so he said, "I think you misunderstood, Chief Xiao. Although these pills were made by my friend and me, selling them is not an easy task. How could I take advantage of you like this?"

"How about this: we might have a long-term partnership in the future, and I also have some matters where I will need your family's help. Let's make it an eighty-twenty split."

Hearing Wei Yang's words, the originally anxious three elders and Xiao family members were stunned and couldn't believe their ears.

Is this for real?

An eighty-twenty split, and a long-term partnership?

"Is this a pie falling from the sky?!" They exchanged glances, hardly able to believe it.

Even Xiao Yan's gaze toward Wei Yang became kinder.

This friend, Xiao Yan had to make!

Xiao Zhan was also stunned for a moment before he slowly came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and asked, "Mr. Wei, you're saying an eighty-twenty split? You take eighty, we take twenty?"

"Yes, that's right. An eighty-twenty split: you take twenty, and I take eighty." Wei Yang nodded affirmatively.

After confirming he hadn't misheard, Xiao Zhan felt both grateful and impressed. "Mr. Wei, such generosity makes our Xiao family feel both honored and humbled!"

"Since Mr. Wei wants to cooperate with our Xiao family long-term, why don't we make it a ninety-ten split instead?"

Waving his hand casually, Wei Yang smiled lightly, "This profit margin doesn't matter much to me. Twenty percent it is. Let's decide on that."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan could only smile wryly and nod.

Mr. Wei is indeed capricious!

It was the first time Xiao Zhan had someone insist on giving him money like this.

Perhaps it was out of respect for Yan'er.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the corner.

Similarly, the people in the hall also thought of this and looked at Xiao Yan with a trace of envy in their eyes.

Gaining the friendship of a Tier 2 Alchemist is no easy feat.

"Mr. Wei, you mentioned earlier that you need our Xiao family's help. What exactly do you need? As long as it's within our power, we will not refuse," Xiao Zhan said solemnly.

"Oh, it's like this. I'm often busy and don't want to deal with some trivial matters."

Wei Yang explained, "So, I'd like to ask you to help gather some medicinal herbs and magic cores."

"So that's it, I understand." Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

The Xiao family members felt the same.

They thought it was something major, but it was just that.

For the Xiao family, this was naturally a good thing. They wouldn't refuse; in fact, they'd compete to handle it.

Being able to help a Tier 2 Alchemist and build a friendship with him is an opportunity no fool would refuse.

Thus, Xiao Zhan solemnly nodded and agreed, "Rest assured, Mr. Wei, we will take care of it."

"The herbs should be at least Tier 3 or 4, whether they are common auxiliary herbs or rare ones."

Wei Yang said as he took out a gold coin card, showing twenty thousand gold coins, the one obtained from Gu Te, and handed it to Xiao Zhan. "As for the magic cores, Tier 2 or 3 is fine. Of course, if there are Tier 4 ones, those are also welcome, regardless of their attributes."

Xiao Zhan took the gold coin card, and the amount on it made him a bit apprehensive. Wei Yang's request was even more shocking.

He handed over more than one hundred sixty top-quality pills.

A gold coin card worth twenty thousand.

Tier 3 or 4 herbs? Tier 2, 3, and even 4 magic cores?!

This amount of information was overwhelming. Could it be? Xiao Zhan didn't dare to think further.

"Mr. Wei."

Xiao Zhan said cautiously, "Tier 2 and 3 herbs and magic cores are easy to find, but Tier 4 herbs and magic cores… you know, such items are hard to come by."

"No problem, just gather them slowly." Wei Yang said indifferently, "Get as many as you can. If you can't, it's no big deal."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the Xiao family members were relieved.

As long as it wasn't a mandatory task, they didn't want to disappoint Mr. Wei with their capabilities.

After all, what the Xiao family could do, the other two big families could also accomplish.

Fortunately, Mr. Wei was a reasonable person.

"Alright, then. These pills are for you to sell. The price doesn't matter to me. Use my share of the money to help me gather the herbs and magic cores I need."

Wei Yang stood up and smiled, "I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving. I'll return in three months."

Xiao Zhan and the three elders quickly tried to persuade him to stay.

Xiao Zhan said, "Mr. Wei, are you in such a hurry to leave? I've already ordered a banquet to be prepared. Why not stay and join us?"

"Yes, yes." The three elders chimed in.

"No need for the banquet, I have other matters to attend to. I won't stay long. Please, don't see me off."

With that, Wei Yang walked straight towards the exit of the hall under everyone's gaze.

The Xiao family members could only watch with a hint of regret.

As he reached the entrance, Wei Yang suddenly stopped, looked at Xiao Yan, who was standing up with Gu Xun'er to see him off, and smiled, "Brother Xiao Yan, may I call you that?"

"Of course." Xiao Yan nodded seriously.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I've heard about your situation." Wei Yang extended a slender, white hand, "If you don't mind, could you let me take a look?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yan was taken aback.

"Yan'er, hurry, don't just stand there!" Xiao Zhan was overjoyed, quickly stepping forward and reminding him, "Mr. Wei is an alchemist. He might be able to figure out what's wrong with your body."
