Hearing Tang Yan's praise, Wu Xuan gazed at him with a blooming smile. "Not only did you claim the crown in the Grand Competition and shake the Eastern Region, but your mouth has also grown sweeter. Come here and let your sister have a taste."

By now, they had arrived at a small inner hall. Alone together in the room, the atmosphere grew slightly warm and heavy. Although Tang Yan often joked around with Lin Dongxue, he remained quite traditional at heart. Suddenly faced with Wu Xuan's playful teasing, his face actually flushed slightly.

"Miss Wu Xuan, um..." Tang Yan awkwardly changed the subject. "Is Master Ge not present?"

Hearing this, Wu Xuan rolled her eyes at him, her voice laced with feigned anger. "You heartless little thing. Master Ge traveled all the way to Fang City just to support you, yet you ran back ahead of him!"

Tang Yan suddenly realized. He had been in such a rush to return to Yun City that he had completely forgotten to say goodbye to Ge Ming.

"What matter do you have with Master Ge?"

"Does Miss Wu Xuan remember the matter of my cooperation with the Myriad Pill Pavilion?"

Hearing this, Wu Xuan's lips parted slightly as she asked tentatively, "Don't tell me Young Master wishes to take back the previous formula?"

Tang Yan shook his head. "Not at all. I have another Spirit Pill formula I would like to offer the Myriad Pill Pavilion, though it comes with a few additional conditions. I wonder how long it will take for Master Ge to return?"

"A day at the earliest. If you wish to discuss cooperation, you can speak directly with me." Wu Xuan's beautiful eyes lit up. The last time Tang Yan provided the Meridian Tempering Powder, its sales had surged to the top of the Myriad Pill Pavilion's ledgers, drawing significant attention from the pavilion's higher-ups.

Considering that Wu Xuan was the chief Alchemist of the Yun City Myriad Pill Pavilion and that his remaining time in the city was short, Tang Yan decided to state his purpose directly. "Miss Wu Xuan, take a look at these two Pills and tell me what you think."

Taking the two porcelain bottles Tang Yan handed over, Wu Xuan opened them curiously and poured out one of the Pills.

Sensing the dense, lingering medicinal fragrance, Wu Xuan's heart trembled. Without the foundation of a Third Grade Alchemist or higher, it would be absolutely impossible to refine a Pill of this quality.

"This is a Hemostatic Pill," Tang Yan introduced. "Should one suffer a wound, ingesting this Pill will drastically slow the bleeding or halt it completely. It is suitable for martial artists of all ranks and is an essential Pill for battle."

Hearing his description, Wu Xuan's heart pounded fiercely once more.

Though the Meridian Tempering Powder Tang Yan had previously provided was low in rank, it had become highly sought after because every clan spared no effort in nurturing their younger generation.

Yet this Hemostatic Pill was not limited by cultivation level. It was truly an essential Spirit Pill for any martial artist traveling the world.

Wu Xuan could guarantee that the moment this Pill appeared, its sales would completely surpass those of the Meridian Tempering Powder, setting a new peak.

"May I test its effects?" Wu Xuan inquired.

"Please do," Tang Yan replied with a smile. "Though I wonder, how does Miss Wu Xuan plan to test it?"

"My monthly cycle just arrived. Let's see if it stops the flow."

This bold remark immediately left Tang Yan utterly speechless.

Seeing his horrified expression, a triumphant smile bloomed across Wu Xuan's face. "Look at how frightened you are. Is the number one outstanding talent of the Eastern Region really this timid?"

With that, she drew a dagger. With a soft slice, she cut her own finger, and fresh blood immediately flowed out.

After she swallowed the Pill, within two breaths, the heavily flowing blood visibly slowed. By the fifth breath, the bleeding had stopped completely, and a faint scab had already formed.

Witnessing this incredible sight, Wu Xuan knew in her heart that the value of this Pill formula was immeasurable! However, she also remembered Tang Yan mentioning additional conditions, which she suspected would be extremely demanding.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Xuan said, "Young Master Tang, how do you wish to cooperate regarding this Pill?"

"There is no rush. Miss Wu Xuan, please examine this Pill as well." Tang Yan pointed toward the other porcelain bottle.

With the Hemostatic Pill serving as an opening, Wu Xuan looked forward to the next Pill with great anticipation.

Upon uncorking the porcelain bottle, the same dense, lingering medicinal fragrance emerged. The Pill was perfectly round and completely flawless.

Marveling once more, Wu Xuan brought it to her nose and sniffed softly. "Let me guess first. It is rich in Spiritual Qi and its medicinal properties are mild. This should be a spiritual medicine to aid cultivation."

"Correct. This Pill is known as the High Spirit Pill, a Second Rank low-grade Pill. It is not recommended for Origin Rank martial artists, as they cannot fully absorb its medicinal effects. It is perfectly suited for those at the Yellow Rank and the early stages of the Black Rank. It has no side effects, its properties are gentle, and there is no danger. Most importantly, as long as one's Dantian and Meridians can withstand it, it can be taken continuously."

Tang Yan finished speaking calmly, but the expression on Wu Xuan's face had already gone somewhat blank.

"It can be taken continuously!" Wu Xuan repeated. She opened her mouth and swallowed the High Spirit Pill.

The Pill melted upon entering her mouth, rapidly transforming into Spiritual Qi.

Her Dantian circulated. Feeling the speed at which the Spiritual Qi was refined, the shock in her eyes deepened intensely.

Only after a long while did Wu Xuan exhale a long breath. Her beautiful eyes locked onto Tang Yan as she asked in a soft, sultry voice, "Tang Yan, do you think your sister is beautiful?"

"Beautiful!" Tang Yan nodded earnestly.

"Then how about exchanging these two Pills for your sister?" Wu Xuan giggled.

Watching her sway merrily with laughter, Tang Yan's heart betrayed him, thumping a few times. The mature charm radiating from Wu Xuan's body made it hard to keep one's imagination from running wild.

"Giggle, sister is just teasing you. Speak of your terms. How do you wish to cooperate with the Myriad Pill Pavilion?" Wu Xuan asked.

Faced with Wu Xuan's constant teasing, Tang Yan sighed inwardly, realizing she was truly a captivating enchantress.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Yan said, "Just like the Meridian Tempering Powder last time, the profits will be split thirty-seventy with the Tang Family."

"And the additional conditions?" Wu Xuan pressed.

"These two Pills must be sold to the Tang Family at the cost of materials, and a guaranteed portion must be provided. The Tang Family will not sell them; they will only be used internally." Tang Yan stated solemnly, "This is the only additional condition. If you can accept it, we can cooperate."

Hearing this, a look of incomparable astonishment washed over Wu Xuan's face. She had fully prepared herself to be ruthlessly bled dry by Tang Yan, yet he only raised such a tiny demand in the end?

"Is that truly your only demand?" Wu Xuan asked uncertainly.

"Indeed," Tang Yan nodded.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Wu Xuan could clearly feel her heart pounding violently. Between these two Pills, the Hemostatic Pill was perfectly suited for martial artists of all levels, and it would undoubtedly achieve extraordinary results.

Furthermore, within the various major clans, the vast majority of martial artists were at the Yellow Rank or the low grades of the Black Rank. A heaven-defying spiritual medicine like the High Spirit Pill was flawlessly tailored to such people, and it would inevitably become a Pill that every major clan fought desperately to obtain!

Although they still had to surrender thirty percent of the profits to the Tang Family, Wu Xuan knew that this kind of high-demand Pill could elevate the Myriad Pill Pavilion's overall standing to another level.

As for the Tang Family's financial power... A jolt ran through Wu Xuan's heart at the thought. By then, the Tang Family's wealth would rank among the very top in the entire Tingxiang Kingdom.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Xuan handed over a jade token, her expression turning serious. "The Myriad Pill Pavilion is honored to establish this cooperation with Young Master Tang. Take this jade token. No matter which city's Myriad Pill Pavilion you visit, Young Master Tang may withdraw up to fifty million taels of silver. The withdrawn funds will be automatically deducted by the Myriad Pill Pavilion during that month's settlement."

Tang Yan accepted the jade token. The three characters for 'Myriad Pill Pavilion' were written on it, and nothing else. Stowing the jade token away, Tang Yan offered a word of thanks.

"If there are other high-grade Pills, the Myriad Pill Pavilion will also grant the Tang Family priority in purchasing them," Wu Xuan promised, adding an extra commitment.
