“Master Huang, you should know that the main industries of my Fang family in the future will be weapon crafting and alchemy.”
After a moment's thought, Fang Han said, "Currently, these industries will only be in Yanming City, but soon they will spread to all eighteen cities of Tianyuan County, and even Tianyuan County and the nine counties of Yanlong Kingdom. As far as I know, in Tianyuan County, Master Huang has ten pill shops. Apart from Master Li, who can somewhat compete with you, no one's pills are more popular than yours. But as long as my Fang family's pills enter Tianyuan County, neither you, Master Huang, nor your rival, Master Li, will be able to sell their pills. Do you still want to become my disciple?"
His words were very direct, without a trace of pretense.
If Master Huang really becomes Fang Han's disciple, then he will have to face this problem.
“Mr. Fang, this is easy to handle.”
Master Huang said with unwavering determination, “Since I have decided to become your disciple, my Huang family’s pill shop will naturally become a branch of the Fang family in Tianyuan County. From now on, the shop will only sell your pills, to show my sincerity in becoming your disciple, and to do my part in helping the Fang family expand the market in Tianyuan County.”
"Master Huang, you are truly sincere in your desire to become my disciple."
Fang Han nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips, and slowly said.
His gaze lingered on Master Huang for a moment, as if assessing the man's resolve and sincerity.
"Mr. Fang, please stop calling me Master Huang."
Master Huang quickly waved his hand, his face full of humble smiles, his tone almost fawning, "From now on, you can call me Little Huang. It is my honor to be able to serve you."
At this moment, he had completely lost his previous arrogance and adopted an extremely humble posture in front of Fang Han.
Fang Han looked at Master Huang's appearance and pondered to himself.
He could see that Master Huang was obsessed with alchemy. Although he was old, his enthusiasm for alchemy had not diminished at all. Moreover, after this incident, he also had a sense of awe towards himself.
After a moment's hesitation, Fang Han said, "Then you will temporarily become my disciple. When my Fang family's pill shop opens in Tianyuan County, if it takes away business from your Huang family, you will help me manage the pill shop. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, Master."
Upon hearing this, Master Huang's face instantly lit up with a look of surprise.
Without saying a word, he respectfully kowtowed three more times to Fang Han.
These kowtows were quite forceful, the sound of their foreheads hitting the ground was very loud.
At this moment, he was overjoyed. Although he was only a nominal disciple, in his eyes, being able to become a disciple of Fang Han was already a great opportunity.
"The art of alchemy requires extremely high levels of skill in using talismans and divine sense."
Fang Han said, "Now that you are at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, if your cultivation can reach the Divine Sense Realm, you will definitely have a deeper understanding of alchemy."
After saying that, Fang Han raised his hand and waved it gently. A beam of light instantly entered Master Huang's mind, which was a cultivation technique.
Over the next few days, Master Huang stayed at the Fang family's house with peace of mind.
Every day, he was either practicing his skills diligently or studying the art of alchemy.
With Fang Han's meticulous guidance, Master Huang's alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds.
In just three or four days, an astonishing change occurred.
Originally, he could only refine low-grade Qi Transformation Pills no matter how hard he tried, but now he can refine mid-grade Qi Transformation Pills.
Master Huang was overjoyed, and his gratitude towards Fang Han grew day by day. In his heart, Fang Han was simply a guiding light on his path of alchemy, illuminating the way forward.
...
A few days later, under Fang Han's careful guidance and with the Fang family working day and night, the Fang family had successfully refined a considerable number of pills.
These pills come in a wide variety of types, covering all grades, including not only low-grade body tempering pills, mid-grade body tempering pills, high-grade body tempering pills, and the extremely rare top-grade body tempering pills, but also low-grade meridian opening pills, mid-grade meridian opening pills, high-grade meridian opening pills, and top-grade meridian opening pills.
The Fang family even has reserves of the precious Qi Transformation Pills.
However, the Qi Transformation Pill is quite expensive, and in this small Yanming City, given the financial resources of most people in the city, it is likely that few can afford to buy it.
Such high-level pills are only in demand in Tianyuan County, a more prosperous area with a large population and numerous cultivators.
Soon, the Fang family's eighteen pill shops, which had been in preparation for a long time, opened grandly in Yanming City.
This news spread like wildfire throughout the city, after all, the Zhao family only operated ten pill shops in Yanming City.
In the past, the Fang family only had two shops in the elixir sales sector. This time, the Fang family's large-scale expansion is quite a big deal.
When the Fang family opened their eighteen pill shops, they posted eye-catching notices announcing that all kinds of pills were available for sale, which immediately sparked a lot of discussion among the people of the city.
However, most people were skeptical, after all, the Zhao family had been operating in Yanming City for many years in the field of pill refining and sales, and had already established a certain prestige.
It was hard for everyone to believe that the Fang family could refine top-grade Body Tempering Pills and top-grade Meridian Opening Pills that far surpassed those of the Zhao family in such a short time.
Fang Han, Master Huang, Ye Qianqiu, and Ye Qianqian gathered in the largest medicine shop in the Fang family to oversee the operation.
However, despite the shop's magnificent decorations and the dazzling array of elixirs inside, very few people came to buy them. The deserted scene was a stark contrast to the bustling publicity during the shop's opening.
