Chapter 113: The Eagerness of a Titled Douluo
Lin Yang's eyes flashed. He sidestepped the issue and said lightly, "I just happened to create two types of potions by chance. I hope Uncle Ning won't laugh at me."
"Laugh at you?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, his expression turning serious. "Xiao Yang, if you go out and ask around, you'll know that these two potions have already become standard equipment for every Soul Master."
"Habit is a terrifying thing. Once everyone has adapted to the convenience brought by these potions, I think you know better than anyone how terrifying the profits generated from this will be."
More than just clear?
Right now, Lin Yang even had the feeling that his gold coins were inexhaustible.
And this was still the profit after being split between the three families.
Lin Yang understood the subtext in Ning Fengzhi's words.
As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still had people eyeing its massive estate, let alone a potion business with even more terrifying profits.
No one dared to scheme against it now because Poison Douluo was protecting it.
But when someone or some force stronger than Poison Douluo entered the fray, Lin Yang would have to make a choice.
Either hand over the potion formula and defect to that force, or die!
Although Ning Fengzhi didn't explicitly state which powerful force it was, both of them knew it clearly.
It was Spirit Hall, which loomed over all Soul Masters.
By saying this, Ning Fengzhi appeared to be analyzing the pros and cons for Lin Yang, but he was also silently guiding Lin Yang, trying to make him fall into a carefully prepared trap of words.
Poison Douluo wasn't strong enough, but their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had two Titled Douluo, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
The Ye Family had Medicine Halls spread across the continent, and their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also had trading firms and caravans, even more of them.
People are always afraid of comparison.
If it were anyone else, they might have truly feared Spirit Hall, abandoned the Ye Family and the Dugu Family, and turned to the embrace of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
But unfortunately, Lin Yang's confidence had never come from the Ye Family or the Dugu Family, but from himself.
He was very clear about his goals.
Possessing the Demon God Body, he had infinite possibilities.
As long as he had enough time, he could grow to a level where everyone would look up to him.
Even Spirit Hall would be nothing more than a small pebble on his path forward.
But Ning Fengzhi had indeed reminded him of one thing: the reason Spirit Hall hadn't made a move against him was because they didn't want to, not because they couldn't.
So, it was necessary for him to demonstrate his value once more.
If one were to ask what the most powerful aspect of a pharmacist is, is it strength?
No.
Is it financial power?
Also no.
It is... connections.
The most powerful aspect of a top-tier pharmacist is how many connections they have cultivated.
Whether it was Dugu Bo or Ye Xuanyin, they had initially gathered around Lin Yang due to some interest.
Later, because their granddaughters became involved with Lin Yang, their relationship grew closer.
Now, they were more focused on Lin Yang himself.
Because of Lin Yang, they saw the possibility of advancing further.
And people like this... were not few.
Coincidentally, he really did have something that would make Ning Fengzhi and that Crown Prince tempted.
Thinking of this, Lin Yang raised his head. The smile on his face remained gentle, but his eyes held a hint of profound meaning.
"I understand what you mean, Uncle Ning."
"Good that you understand!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded with satisfaction, the corners of his mouth curling slightly. It was unexpectedly smooth; next, it would be time for Lin Yang to take the initiative to set conditions.
"Uncle Ning, I want to make a deal with you."
Beside him, Xue Qinghe remained expressionless, but his eyes grew deeper, making it impossible for others to discern his emotions.
Ning Fengzhi nodded: "Speak, as long as it is something my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can do, I won't hesitate."
Lin Yang smiled slightly, and two vials containing a milky white solution appeared in his hand.
"This is the jade bone potion I formulated."
Hmm?
Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged as his thoughts raced.
jade bone potion?
Never heard of it. Could it be similar to the Soul Burning and Soul Returning potions?
Was he trying to repeat the same trick, using the jade bone potion to bind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as well?
This wouldn't do; it didn't align with his expectations.
Lin Yang was his target, not just mere gold coins.
At this moment, Lin Yang continued: "There are only two vials of this jade bone potion, and its effect is... permanently increasing a Soul Master's Cultivation efficiency."
Bang!
The teacup in Chen Xin's hand shattered instantly!
Tea splashed everywhere, but before it could land on anyone, it was completely pulverized by a thin layer of Sword Qi.
But at this moment, no one bothered to look at him. Everyone's gaze was nailed to those two vials of milky white potion, their minds blank.
Permanently... increasing Cultivation efficiency?
Isn't this just cheating?
Could it be that Lin Yang Cultivates so fast because of this thing?
It wasn't just Ning Fengzhi who had this thought.
Qian Renxue had the same thought: He really does have potions that assist in Cultivation.
Ning Fengzhi's throat felt a little dry. He felt that the course of events had already exceeded his expectations. "This... how much can it increase?"
Lin Yang spoke softly: "Five percent."
Hu—!
Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
Fortunately, it was only five percent, and there were only two vials, which was equivalent to nurturing only two Genius Disciples.
However, before he could fully exhale that breath, he heard Lin Yang add unhurriedly: "By the way, this potion has no limit on Soul Power Rank; Titled Douluo can use it too."
Bang! Bang!
Two consecutive explosions sounded as the chairs beneath Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both shattered into dust.
Both of their gazes were fixed intently on those two potions.
Chen Xin was easier to deal with; although his gaze held faint excitement, he could still maintain basic composure.
But Bone Douluo was different; on that shriveled face, only greed remained.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Lin Yang would even suspect he would snatch them on the spot.
Don't underestimate this five percent.
Even if it were just a one percent increase in Cultivation efficiency, for a Titled Douluo, it would be a tremendous Opportunity.
At their Realm, every step forward was extremely difficult.
But correspondingly, for every extra step taken, the difference in strength would be worlds apart.
Currently, Sword Douluo Chen Xin's Soul Power Rank was 96, and Bone Douluo was at Rank 95.
But just because of this one-Rank difference, Chen Xin could suppress Gu Rong in a fight, which showed the gap in strength between the two.
And now, the Opportunity to advance further was right in front of them?
May I ask, who wouldn't be tempted?
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yang, does this potion have any side effects?"
Lin Yang shook his head: "Rest assured, Uncle Ning, there are no side effects. Not only have I drunk this potion, but even Elder Poison and Elder Ye have drunk it."
"If it weren't for the fact that this potion is only useful when drunk for the first time, these two vials wouldn't have been left over."
Once these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed.
Especially Chen Xin and Gu Rong; they had met Dugu Bo, and the other party's aura was indeed stronger than before.
Old Poison had been stuck at Rank 91 for over a decade; it made no sense for him to have just happened to have a Breakthrough now.
Perhaps the greatest possibility was because of this jade bone potion.
Thinking of this, the two men's gazes toward the potions became even more eager.
