During the previous medicinal trial, Liu Guang and the others had merely touched the medicinal powder to understand the effects of the elixir, without having a complete understanding of the entire pill.
Now, after consuming it, they were suddenly astonished as if they had been touched by the heavens.
“Qin Chen, are you planning to let this kind of elixir be operated by our Alchemy Pavilion?” Liu Guang said excitedly.
This was simply a revolution in the world of elixirs, leaving them no choice but to be thrilled.
“Let’s hear your thoughts.”
Xiao Ya knew that someone like Qin Chen definitely had his own ideas in mind.
Nodding, Qin Chen said, “That’s right, I plan to hand over this elixir to the Alchemy Pavilion for operation. I won’t sell you the method of refining the elixir; I’ll only split the profits, fifty-fifty. You will be responsible for the cost of the medicinal materials and the refining costs, while I will only take the profit share.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Guang and the others were all dumbfounded.
Not providing the medicinal materials, not even participating in the refining, yet demanding fifty percent of the profits—this was clearly robbery, not cooperation.
“Are you being too greedy?”
“You do nothing and only provide the refining method, yet you want to take half of the profits? What kind of joke is this?”
“What do you think our Alchemy Pavilion is?”
Chen Mu and Ouyang Cheng couldn’t help but shout out in indignation.
“Qin Chen, isn’t this split a bit too much? Although the prescription is provided by you, you are still a part of the Alchemy Pavilion.”
Even Liu Guang had some dissatisfaction.
“It’s precisely because I’m also a part of the Alchemy Pavilion that I’m asking for a fifty-fifty split; otherwise, it wouldn’t be this proportion.”
“The transaction of prescriptions isn’t something our Alchemy Pavilion hasn’t done before, but we’ve always just bought them outright. Even if it were a profit split, it would only be a tiny portion. We’ve never done a fifty-fifty split like you’re demanding. Moreover, while your First-Grade True Element Pill is special, the profit margin for True Element Pills is quite thin. Our Alchemy Pavilion not only has to put in labor and materials but also has to split fifty percent with you. Don’t you think that’s a bit ridiculous?”
Xiao Ya shook her head. Qin Chen’s First-Grade True Element Pill was indeed special, but it still wasn’t worth such a huge price from the Alchemy Pavilion.
“Did I say that the only transaction is for the First-Grade True Element Pill?” Qin Chen chuckled.
Xiao Ya’s pupils contracted, and her brows furrowed. “What do you mean?”
“I also have an ancient prescription for a Second-Grade True Element Pill, which requires seventy percent of the costs of the normal Second-Grade True Element Pill. However, its efficacy is double that of a normal Second-Grade True Element Pill, and the difficulty of refining it is much lower than that of typical Second-Grade True Element Pills on the market. I wonder if the Alchemy Pavilion might be interested?”
Qin Chen smiled as he spoke.
“What did you say?”
Xiao Ya, who had regained her composure, was once again stunned, even more so than before. “You have a Second-Grade prescription similar to the First-Grade True Element Pill?”
She couldn’t remain calm.
The Second-Grade True Element Pill was different from the First-Grade. In the market, there were many forces capable of refining First-Grade True Element Pills, so the profits were spread thin.
Even with Qin Chen’s new formula, since he would take half, the Alchemy Pavilion would earn only a meager profit, no matter how many they refined.
But the Second-Grade True Element Pill was different.
First, there were very few forces capable of refining Second-Grade Pills.
Secondly, the profit margin was substantial. Even if half went to Qin Chen, as long as it truly had the efficacy he claimed, the Alchemy Pavilion would still make a significant profit.
