Chapter 2516 — A Pleasant Cooperation

"Mm... I'll do my utmost to bring it about," the Heaven Rank vice president said with a nod. "But you'll have to give me a guarantee first: every three years, can you supply a quantity of pills comparable to this time's?"
"Every three years?" Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback.
"That's right. The Hidden You Family supplies that number of pills once every three years," the Heaven Rank vice president said.
Wei Zhao was astonished. So the Hidden You Family's pill output was not especially high after all—only this much in three years! Yet he and Han Jingyi, given the materials, could refine that many in a few days at most!
Of course, Wei Zhao absolutely could not say such a thing. If he did, he would be a monster, and it might well bring disaster upon him!
"Does the cultivators' market only hold a fair once every three years?" Wei Zhao asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Naturally not. When I say every three years, I mean second-grade pills. As for first-grade pills, under ordinary circumstances the Hidden You Family can supply them in abundance, so I wouldn't advise Mr. Ling to go into that line of business—the market is essentially saturated," the Heaven Rank vice president said frankly. "Although your Spirit-Gathering Pills all sold this time, that's only because Spirit-Gathering Pills are cultivation pills and thus in high demand. As for other first-grade pills, they're neither so sought after nor so profitable."
"So that's how it is." Wei Zhao nodded. In truth, he had never intended to have Han Jingyi refine first-grade pills again—since the effort was the same, refining second-grade pills naturally held more promise and value. "You have my guarantee!"
"Good. With Mr. Ling's word as guarantee, I'll do my utmost!" the Heaven Rank vice president agreed readily.
"Then I'll be on my way down the mountain. I leave everything here to you, Vice President." With that, Wei Zhao returned the radio set to the captain of the Law Enforcement Hall.
The captain took back the radio set with an expression of utter shock, then said, "Senior Ling, take care on your way..."
Wei Zhao nodded, hoisted the large leather case, and headed down the mountain. This trip to the cultivators' market had been quite fruitful—Wei Zhao had obtained many of the things he needed, and had also found a supply of materials for pill refinement. The journey had certainly not been in vain.
On his way down the mountain, Wei Zhao encountered no one else. The Hidden You Family had probably long since departed, and Wei Zhao had reached an agreement with the Heaven Rank vice president. So long as the vice president was not a fool, their relationship would only deepen as their cooperation grew; they could not possibly become enemies again—unless the vice president wanted to quarrel with money, and with his own performance record.
