Chapter 14

However, neither Cao Chenghua nor Su Qian would have foreseen Jiang Chen's arrival in the Whitewater City . The spring festival was close and it was snowing heavily . There was no one on the streets . But there was a group of people and horses walking in the snow . The horses' hooves struck the frozen ground and kicked up ice .

Curious eyes were watching behind the windows along the streets, trying to figure out what kind of horses could walk in such weather . They saw Fiery Dragon Horses . In this freezing season, the Fiery Dragon Horses were walking proudly like strong men without any clothes on . Snow was melted by their body temperature . The riders also felt warm .

"Not many forces in the Hundred Thousand Mountains possess a caravan like this . Who could that be?"

The local people were very curious . But the people of the caravan didn't want to expose their identities . They had hidden everything that could reveal who they were . Everyone was covered from head to toe . Their faces were hidden under the cloak hoods .

"Young Lord, selling panaceas is such a petty thing that you can just leave it to me . You don't have to have to bother yourself to do it at all . "

Fan Tu admired Jiang Chen, as if he were able to do everything . He even knew how to refine panaceas and had refined panaceas from all those medicinal materials so easily . They were much better than the panaceas refined by that alchemist Xiao Hai, both in terms of amount and quality .

"I've come here not only to sell panaceas, but also to purchase medicinal materials for the refinement of another type of panacea," Jiang Chen said .

He could have told Fan Tu what to buy and asked him to take them back to the Jiang Mansion . But he couldn't ease up . After all, this world was different with the Sacred Zone . What if in the Nine Heavens Continent those materials had a different name? If there was any mistake, he wouldn't have enough time to achieve the Gathering Yuan State before the spring festival . He was really worried .

"All right . "

Fan Tu stopped talking, but took Jiang Chen to a street inside of the Whitewater City .

"This place belongs to the Tianhang Chamber of Commerce . We have a good relationship with the boss here . "

Fan Tu got off the horse and walked to the most gorgeous house . This was one of the few shops that were still open .

"Please ask your boss to come out . We have business to talk about with him . "

"It's you, Master Fan . Unfortunately, my boss isn't here . It's the same to talk about it with me . " A steward smiled playfully . He didn't take Fan Tu's words seriously .

Fan Tu believed him . He didn't know that it was because the steward had heard the current situation of the east courtyard that he stopped taking them seriously like before .

"It's panacea business . If there is anything wrong, can you take the responsibility? If not, you will still have to ask for your boss's instructions . I don't have time to waste on such matters . Just go and ask your boss to come," Jiang Chen said .

The steward wasn't quite convinced, but as the saying goes, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, so he didn't have the nerve to go against them . He smiled at them and went away .

"I didn't know he was such a practical guy . "

Fan Tu saw him running into the chamber of commerce and suddenly realized he had been lying to him, so he started to curse him . Jiang Chen smiled lightly . This is how the world goes . No one takes you seriously if you don't have any actual strength . Luckily, he came here prepared .

The East courtyard used to make frequent deals with the chamber of commerce, but the panaceas were not fresh . It was different this time . All of the Gathering Qi Pills were refined by Jiang Chen in person . So they were a holy quality class! A holy Gathering Qi Pill was worth dozens of times more than the average ones . This business was pretty big, just like what he had said .

The steward appeared again soon, with a beautiful woman behind him . She was about twenty years old and looked really posh in a garnet ermine robe .

Her bangs on her forehead had a willow leaf shape . Below the arched eyebrows was a pair of bright eyes . Jiang Chen and Fan Tu were confused . This obviously wasn't the chairman of the Tianhang Chamber of Commerce .

"This is the daughter of our chairman, Miss Xu Rong . " The steward introduced her .

Xu Rong didn't give Jiang Chen a chance to question her . She said directly, "Whatever business you want to discuss, you can discuss it with me . "

People from the Jiang Mansion were unhappy with the current situation . But since the chamber of commerce had made their attitudes clear, they were not in a good position to argue . They were taken to a room instantly . Xu Rong was quite cold . She didn't bother to treat the guests well at all . She said as soon as she sat down, "Tell me . What business do you want to discuss?"

"Panaceas . "

"What class?" Xu Rong asked instantly, without any hesitation .

"Class one . "

"How many?"

"Three hundred . "

Xu Rong slightly raised her eyebrows on hearing that . She crossed her arms over her chest and laughed, "This business isn't big at all . I'll leave it to Steward Liu . " Then she got up and was about to leave . Although she didn't say anything ugly, her way of talking and her expression were very unpleasant for Fan Tu .

"Before, you didn't behave in such a manner when I came!" Fan Tu thought he had been restraining himself and didn't expect that the Tianhang Chamber of Commerce would push it too far .

"That was before . "

Xu Rong, who was about to leave, turned around and looked at Fan Tu . Then she looked over to Jiang Chen and said, "To be honest, our business with the east courtyard was never big . My father treated you as distinguished guests out of his respect for the Windblade . As to now…"

She didn't continue, but showed a meaningful smile .

"In that case, so be it . I don't think you are the only chamber of commerce in the Whitewater City," Jiang Chen, who had kept silent, stood up and said .

"As you wish . " Xu Rong was still smiling .

They left the Tianhang Chamber of Commerce so soon that even the chairs they had been sitting on were still cold . They were angry and in a bad mood .

Xu Rong followed them to the door and said, "I want to make it clear . Even though other chambers of commerce agree to do business with you, we will suffer no loss . The problem is your attitude . It doesn't make sense that you are asking to be treated as distinguished guests with such a trifling business . You asked to meet the chairman for only three hundred Gathering Qi Pills . Do you think the east courtyard is still what it used to be?" Steward Liu took the chance to speak his mind from the rebuke he had gotten .

Fan Tu got so angry that he almost gave Steward Liu a lesson, but Jiang Chen stopped him .

"Hopefully you won't regret it . " Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously . Then he took his men to another chamber of commerce in the Whitewater City, Pegasus Chamber of Commerce .

Xu Rong and Steward Liu watched them going in, with despise on their faces from beginning to end .

"Welcome . "A mature woman received Jiang Chen in the Pegasus Chamber of Commerce . Totally different from Xu Rong, she was like a ripe juicy peach, wearing a delicate make-up on her beautiful face . Because it was such a severe winter, she was still in a long dress . She introduced herself as Steward Kong, and was very friendly .

"What business do you want to talk about?" Steward Kong asked after some polite greetings .

"Gathering Qi Pills . " Jiang Chen said .

"How many?"

"Three hundred . "

Steward Kong kept her professional smile and asked, "And the quality class?"

If Xu Rong had bothered to ask this, things would have been totally different .

"Holy . " Jiang Chen answered .

Steward Kong was shocked . She rolled her sloe eyes up, showing the whites of her eyes . "You mean holy? You mean among them there are some holy Gathering Qi Pills?" She asked doubtfully .

"No . All of them . All of them are holy . "

"Really?!"

Steward Kong suddenly stood up . She had lost her composure . She leant forward excitedly and asked, "Are you sure?"
