The Mightiest Little Peasant

gotten many people, including pill makers, to study your medicine, but all of them failed.
So…”

As he spoke, he looked at Tang Hao in puzzlement.

The recipe for the deluxe rejuvenation pill might be difficult to crack, but a pill maker should have been able to do so.
Fu Yun thought it curious that the Tianlu Merchant Guild suffered a setback.

Tang Hao smiled casually.
“Well, I changed the recipe a little.
The ones on sale now use the improved recipe.”

Fu Yun was startled, then he smiled drily and said, “So that’s how it is.
No wonder!”

Storekeeper Tang might be young, but his herbology skills were inexplicably advanced.
It was not out of the question that he could formulate a recipe that even a pill maker could not reverse engineer.

After chatting for a while more, Tang Hao sent the other two people off.

Tang Hao was not really bothered.

He was very confident in his recipe.
An ordinary person would not be able to crack it.
Even if they could, it would take a long time.

He turned around and eventually forgot about the matter.

The next five days passed in the blink of an eye.

That morning, Tang Hao received a message from Zhao Liu saying that a guest from the Tianlu Merchant Guild had come.
That was when he remembered what he was told.

The merchant guild sent two representatives: One old and one young.

The old man was in his sixties.
He had a long beard and wore a white robe.
The young man was in his twenties.
He wore a brocade robe and seemed noble.

When the old man saw Tang Hao enter, he glanced at him but did not stand up.
He sat there, cupped his fists, and called out, “Storekeeper Tang!”

His attitude was quite arrogant.

The young man behind him was even more arrogant.
He sized up Tang Hao and smiled.
“You are Tang Ritian! Ritian… What a unique name.”‘

He sounded like he was mocking Tang Hao.

Tang Hao immediately frowned.

The young man was poorly educated in etiquette, and the old man treated Ritian Pavilion as his own store.

Tang Hao walked up to them and said coldly, “I wonder why you are here?”

The old man seemed displeased when he saw Tang Hao’s attitude.

“Hey, watch it! Don’t you know who we are?” The young man flew into a rage.

“Keep it down! We’re here to negotiate, so we have to be courteous,” the old man wagged his hand and said.

Then, he cupped his fists toward Tang Hao and said, “I’ll get to the point, Storekeeper Tang.
Our Tianlu Merchant Guild is very interested in the pills available for sale at your Ritian Pavilion.
I wonder if you are interested in cooperating, Storekeeper Tang?”

“How?” Tang Hao asked.

“The first option is a buyout.
You sell the recipe to us and give us the exclusive right to manufacture and sell it.
One hundred million crystals should be enough, right?

“The second option is to appoint you as the manufacturer, while we become the sole distributor.
We’ll be buying a lot from you, and so we expect a discount.

“You sell the regular version for five crystals, and the cost should be half.
You can sell them to us at three crystals.
As for the deluxe version, if you sell it at fifty crystals, then you can sell it to us at thirty.
That’s about right!” The old man said.

Tang Hao almost laughed out loud when he heard that.
His expression became colder and colder.

‘One hundred million crystals?

‘Dream on!

‘The second option is even worse.
If it cost me two and a half crystals to make one pill, it means that I’ll only be making a half-crystal profit per pill, while they make a profit of two crystals.
That’s a horrible deal.’

Tang Hao realized that the merchant guild did not want to cooperate with him but rather bully him because they were bigger.
