69: Refining Medicine and Making PoisonHearing the man claiming that he was Yang Wudi, Lu Buliang was delighted. Yang Wudi was a strong man with rich combat experience. As the patriarch of the Poyi clan, he should remain calm in the face of anything.
But the Yang Wudi in front of him had eyes full of sincerity and eagerness. After taking off the mask, his expression of greed for the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product was revealed without any concealment, which was enough to show that the appearance of the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product had made him lose his mind.
But it's also true that in the original novel, Yang Wudi hated Tang San to the core, but after receiving the Youxiang Qiluo fairy item from Tang San, all his resentment disappeared and he was as happy as a child.
Now that the treasure he had been longing for was right in front of him, how could Yang Wudi not be excited?
"Sir, my people and I come to the auction house at this time every night, hoping to try our luck and see if there are any herbs like this on sale. We have been doing this for ten years, and now we finally have some news. So I don't want to waste another moment of my time."
Yang Wudi frowned and said seriously, "I am also a business person. Integrity is the key to doing business. I have expressed my love for this herb to you. Should you also express your opinion?"
Lü Buliang took off his flame mask, retracted his ring soul guide, and smiled, "My name is Jie. I am a businessman and soul master. I came from Tiandou City with my friends to Xingluo City to do business. Naturally, I know the word integrity, and I also feel your sincerity. Lord Yang Wudi, you know the rarity of this herb, so you should know that no matter what the conditions are, I can't use it to exchange with others, right?"
"If I wanted to trade it, why would I only auction its pollen and not the plant itself?"
Yang Wudi's expression darkened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He saw something from Lu Buliang after just a rough look at him, and replied, "Excuse me for asking. Mr. Jie, did you and your friends come to Xingluo City to do the herbal medicine business?"
"In addition to the herbal medicine business, I also run a soul master business in the Great Soul Fighting Arena." Lu Buliang replied: "In short, I will be involved in any business that can make money. Any questions?"
"No." Yang Wudi's gloomy face returned to normal. "It's just that I don't smell any herbal scent on you. You probably don't deal with herbs often. You don't seem to know anything about medicine and poison. So I'm curious about what kind of business you are doing. According to what you said, you are not a professional medicine seller. Maybe you know the preciousness of herbs, but herbs should not be that important to you. I think if I can give you satisfactory conditions, you should trade with me."
"You said you wouldn't trade herbs with others. You said it so firmly. You actually want to maximize your profits and get more benefits from me, right? We are all businessmen. I can still see your little tricks. You only auction pollen at the auction house to attract the attention of people who need it so that you can conduct private transactions better. Am I right?"
After hearing this, Lu Buliang felt nervous. He really wanted to use the fragrant and beautiful pollen to lure Yang Wudi into the trap he had set, but he didn't expect that Yang Wudi had already seen through his intentions.
The saying that older ginger gets spicier is indeed true.
Without any knowledge of medicine and poison, Yang Wudi only needed to use some small tricks to completely tear apart his disguise.
Thinking of this, Lu Buliang smiled awkwardly in his heart. It seemed that he was being too clever and taking everything for granted.
"Mr. Jie, let me be frank. The pollen in this small bottle is actually extracted from a herb called Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin." Yang Wudi looked at the transparent small bottle in his hand and said, "I really need this fairy herb. It is priceless. Since you don't want to exchange it with money, I can exchange it with you for the best antidote and poison in the world. How about that?"
"You are not a professional medicine seller, nor do you know how to make medicine and poison. To you, the best poison and antidote in the world are much more valuable than a fragrant fairy product, right? After all, it only has the effect of preventing poison. Once the toxin enters the body, no matter how good the antidote is, it can't match the antidote that can detoxify."
Hearing this, Lü Buliang's cold face showed a hint of joy, "Sir, this really enlightens me. The best anti-poison herbs are no match for the best antidotes and poisons in the world. You are right. I can exchange the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product with you. However, the exchange condition is not the best antidote and poison you mentioned, but something else."
"What do you want me to give in exchange?" Yang Wudi asked.
Lü Buliang said sternly, "Take your medicine and poison making skills in exchange. It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. It is better to get the method of making the best antidote and poison in the world than to get the best antidote and poison in the world. Merchants want to maximize their profits. Sir, if you promise to teach me how to make medicine and poison, I will give you the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product."
Yang Wudi fell silent. He didn't expect the businessman in front of him to be so weird. He didn't want the best antidotes and poisons in the world, but wanted to learn the technology to make these poisons and antidotes? He
had been doing business for 20 to 30 years, but he had never met such a businessman.
What is a businessman?
Of course, interests come first, and we should use the least amount of time to obtain the greatest benefits.
Most businessmen exchange money for goods, and no one wastes anyone else's time when doing business. It is absolutely impossible for them to think of wasting time learning a skill by themselves, unless they want to change careers and become a businessman specializing in a certain field.
From this businessman who claimed to be a robber, Yang Wudi could tell that he should be an amateur businessman. He was either new to business or wanted to get something under the name of a businessman.
Years of business experience made Yang Wudi suddenly feel on guard.
Thinking about how the businessman named Jie was auctioning the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product pollen at the auction house, and now that he had put aside his pride to do business with him, it was finally Jie who proposed to exchange the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product for the technology of refining medicine and making poisons.
All of this seemed to be carried out in accordance with some arrangement.
Yang Wudi's vigilance told him that this transaction was definitely not as simple as he had imagined.
"Sorry. Refining medicine and making poisons is the secret skill of our clan. It is not passed on to outsiders." Yang Wudi's calm face suddenly became serious. He looked at Lv Buliang with a bit of hostility and said coldly: "My biggest concession is to exchange the best antidote and poison in our clan with you. As for the method of refining medicine, forget it."
Hearing this, Lu Buliang felt that Yang Wudi did not lie. The original novel said that the Pozhi clan was a subsidiary family of the Haotian Sect, but the clan's medicine refining and poison making technology was extremely confidential, and even the Haotian Sect could not obtain it.
How could I teach it to a stranger now?
However, Lü Buliang has one more thing than Haotian Sect, which can make Yang Wudi tempted, so that he breaks the clan rules and teaches him the medicine and poison making techniques. This thing is the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product.
Yang Wudi seemed to be very determined and would never exchange the clan's technology for the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product, but this determination was just a pretense.
Think about it, when bargaining for clothes, aren't both parties very determined?
Whether a deal can be reached in the end depends on the benefits obtained by both parties and the range of conditions they can accept.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
There was no need for Lu Buliang to say anything more, because Yang Wudi himself knew how precious the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product was, and he also knew the benefits of this fairy herb to the entire Poyi clan. If they lost this opportunity, the Poyi clan might not be able to find the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product even if they searched for another hundred years.
But Yang Wudi's attitude at this moment was very firm, and he seemed to really not care about losing the opportunity to obtain the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product.
Helpless, Lu Buliang had to give up the deal temporarily and said calmly: "Since the Lord is unwilling, then let's stop the deal. My attitude is also very firm. If you teach me how to make medicine and poison, I will give you the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product. Otherwise, there is no point in talking any more."
"Senior Yang Wudi, you don't have to make a decision now. We will talk again in three days. During these three days, you can discuss this matter with your clansmen, and we can make a deal after you have made a decision. Of course, you can also use despicable means and arrest me now, and use your poison and torture to force me to tell you the whereabouts of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product."
At this point, Lu Buliang reminded: "However, I advise you not to do this. Because I am not only a businessman, but also a soul master. In the great soul fighting arena of Tiandou City, I have a record of fifty-one consecutive soul fighting victories. Do you know what this means?"
After saying that, Lu Buliang took out the golden poison pill given by Dugu Bo from his ring soul guide and threw it to Yang Wudi.
After taking the golden poison pill, Yang Wudi was immediately attracted. As an experienced poison master and pharmacist, how could he not be able to tell the quality of a poison pill?
The person who can refine this kind of golden poison pill is definitely not inferior to himself in the field of poison. Moreover, this poison pill seems to be a mixture of the poisons of countless highly poisonous animals, and the main toxicity actually comes from the venom of the green phosphorus snake?
Who among those who practice poison doesn't know the horror of the Green Phosphorus Snake venom? The only poison master on the continent who can use the Green Phosphorus Snake venom to make a top-grade poison pill is probably the Poison Douluo with the title of Poison.
Thinking of this, Yang Wudi's heart trembled. Could it be that this businessman named Jie had done business with Du Douluo?
Otherwise, how could he have the poison pill that only a Poison Douluo could refine?
What does it mean to have a record of fifty-one consecutive victories in the Great Dou Soul Arena of Tiandou City?
Even in the Xingluo Empire, which advocates the use of force, the highest winning streak in the Great Dou Soul Arena of the Imperial City is only thirty victories.
He performed so outstandingly and high-profile in the Imperial City's Great Soul Fighting Arena, yet was able to remain unscathed under the watchful eyes of various forces. This was enough to prove that Jie had a strong background to support him. Otherwise, such a talented soul master would have been ambushed long ago.
What is the origin of this merchant named Jie?
