Chapter 268: Falling out
President Shangguan gritted his teeth and looked at the guard in front of him who was only in the Jindan stage, thinking that he was also a great cultivator in the Shenhua stage.
Although he was only at the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and he was just an alchemist who relied on drugs to get to the level, so his combat power was not strong, but the Spiritual Transformation Realm was the Spiritual Transformation Realm. When did the Golden Core Realm become qualified to stop him? If it were before, Shangguan Huai would have slapped him, but now after thinking for a while, he held back his anger.
"good."
Shangguan Huai obediently handed over his storage bag.
"Can I go in now, President?"
The guard nodded: "Please."
Following the old eunuch all the way, President Shangguan finally met the Daqian ancestor and the Daqian Emperor.
If it were in the past, an old eunuch would have brought him a chair to sit down. After all, Shangguan Huai was the president of the Alchemist Alliance Association in Daqian and the regional general agent, so he still had some face.
In terms of importance, he is basically on par with Emperor Daqian.
But now this kind of treatment has disappeared. Emperor Daqian didn't even look at Shangguan Huai and concentrated on playing chess with his ancestor.
Shangguan Huai stood there for a long time before Jiang Qingwu cleared his throat and asked, "President Shangguan, what is the matter with you entering the palace this time?"
Shangguan Huai's expression didn't change much on the surface, but he was gritting his teeth in his heart.
Those bastards from the Daqian royal family actually secretly signed a contract with the Daluo Sect, severing their original long-term cooperation with their Alchemist Alliance.
Now their roots have undoubtedly been uprooted and they have lost the official right to sell medicine in Daqian. Now the Alchemist Alliance and Shangguan are having a hard time.
In the past, Shangguan Huai was able to call the shots in the Daqian Palace and come and go freely. But now he is standing here as punishment and can only communicate with Jiang Qingwu?
Shangguan Huai ignored Jiang Qingwu and looked at the Daqian Patriarch and said, "Brother Renjie, I came here to apologize to you. A month ago, I asked someone to find a high-level alchemist from Zhongzhou to refine the Shoushuai Pill.
Last time, my elder brother came to me because of his declining lifespan, and I was unable to help him. I felt extremely guilty afterwards. The relationship between you and me cannot be weakened by this matter."
Shangguan Huai took out a pill, which was a longevity pill.
He wanted to use this pill to fill the gap that the three generations of Daqian's ancestors and grandchildren had asked him to refine pills but were quoted a sky-high price. After all, now it was no longer the Daqian royal family who asked them to refine pills, but the Alchemist Alliance who came to ask for cooperation from the Daqian royal family.
Seeing Shangguan Huai take out the longevity pill, the Daqian ancestor finally reacted.
"President Shangguan, let's put things aside and let the past go. I am not the kind of person who holds grudges, but I still can't use this pill. After all, a high-end pill costs hundreds of billions of dollars. I can't accept it without merit. My Daqian royal family can't afford it."
The ancestor of Daqian ridiculed Shangguan Huai.
When I asked you to make the elixir, you offered a sky-high price of hundreds of billions. Now that I don’t ask you anymore, you deliver the elixir to my door instead?
I regard you as my brother for helping me in my time of need, and I will repay you with a spring.
But now you send this thing to me, who are you? Shangguan Huai said: "Brother, you are too polite. How much does a pill cost? We have been brothers for many years, and we are still talking about this? I just came here to give it to you. I will leave the pill here. Since you have brought it here, there is no reason to take it back."
Shangguan Huai insisted on keeping the elixir. Daqian Patriarch looked at him and said, "Since you insist on giving it to me, I will accept it."
Ancestor Daqian doesn't play by the rules. Since you said you don't want money, and there's nothing else involved, and you're just giving it to me as a gift of our friendship over many years, then I'd rather accept this pill.
Shangguan Huai opened his mouth and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
But the Shoushuai Pill is not an important matter now, and it was originally given to the ancestor of Daqian.
What's more important now is business. President Shangguan rubbed his hands and said, "Brother, I heard that your Daqian Royal Family is cooperating with others on elixirs? Is this true or false?"
Jiang Renjie said, "Has President Shangguan heard about it? Yes, it is true. Our Daqian Royal Family has indeed found a good medicine supplier, and we are now working together to launch new medicines."
Shangguan Huai was furious: "Brother, aren't you the Daqian Imperial Family going too far? We have been cooperating for so many years, and now you just break it off. Isn't this killing the donkey after it has done its work? If you cooperate with others, what will happen to my Alchemist Alliance?"
Jiang Renjie glanced at Shangguan Huai. This old guy finally couldn't hold it in anymore and wanted to talk about business?
Before, he was pretending to be nice and came to give me gifts, but now he can’t pretend anymore and has to break up and talk about things.
Daqian Patriarch said, "President Shangguan, I think you must have made a mistake. My Daqian Royal Family and your Alchemist Alliance should only be in a cooperative relationship, not a dead binding relationship. It is true that you and I have cooperated for so many years, but there is no rule that we cannot change partners, right? After weighing the pros and cons, my royal family found that cooperating with others is more advantageous, so naturally we have to change partners. Your Alchemist Alliance is not competitive, who can you blame?"
The Daqian Patriarch said that he had never seen such a domineering way of doing things in his life.
We cooperated with you in the past because we had no choice, but now we have a choice, and you, a supplier with extremely low cost-performance, will naturally be kicked aside.
When the Alchemist Alliance was the only dominant power, didn't you also want to eat meat and drink soup? If you really want to talk about doing things ugly, you, President Shangguan, are doing even uglier things.

In the previous three-year battle between Qinglan Sect and Shangguan Yanran, she lost the bet and was taken back by Xiao Huo from Daluo Sect to work like a slave. In a rage, Shangguan Huai cut off the supply of elixirs to several ancient cities of Daqian, including Feilong City and Heitan City, and made all the practitioners in these cities pay the price.
Shangguan Huai felt good about doing this, but for the Daqian royal family, this was undoubtedly stepping on the royal family's face.
After all, Feilong City and Heitan City are also the territories of the Daqian Imperial Family. Since it is called cooperation, can you just break it off if you want? It is clear that you don't take the Daqian Imperial Family seriously.
Of course none of this matters now because you're out.
Take your Alchemist Alliance and get out of Daqian as soon as possible.
Chairman Shangguan's face was dark at this time, and he said: "Jiang Renjie, do you really think that Daluo Sect can supply the elixirs of your entire Daqian? Compared with our Alchemist Alliance, Daluo Sect is just a small workshop. How dare you cooperate with such a small workshop to make elixirs? Aren't you afraid of problems? The Daqian royal family is really over."
The Daqian ancestor was also angry.
He no longer gave Shangguan Huai any face, and directly tore his face and said: "Shangguan Huai, stop talking nonsense. Whether there is a problem or not is our Daqian royal family's own business. What does it have to do with you? If you can find a problem with the Daluo Sect's elixir, show me the evidence. If you can't find a problem, stop trying to sow discord here.
Be it a small workshop or an alchemy alliance, I know the right and wrong, the quality, and if you have nothing else to do, you can leave.
If you still want to talk about cooperation, then I will tell you directly in advance that my royal family will not cooperate with your Alchemist Alliance in the future. Of course, we will not ban your right to sell pills in Daqian.
If you have the ability, you can also sell the pills yourself. As long as there are people who want to buy them, we won’t stop you.”
The Daqian Patriarch sneered.
Shangguan Huai and the alchemists in the Alchemist Alliance have been rampant in Daqian for countless years. Now the situation has changed, and their days of rampant tyranny should come to an end.
If you have the ability, you can compete fairly.
