The most important thing is that the value of this kind of elixir, which cannot even be considered as a high-grade medicine, lies in its special function. Hou Yang finds it unlikely to be really rare and difficult to study.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Yang Lan'er was confident in the elixir recipe.
It doesn't mean that no one will ever be able to reproduce the elixir formula, but that others may not be able to make it even if they get the formula.
In the beginning, the Qingbo Sect was famous for its unique alchemy techniques. It was very difficult for others to imitate the alchemy recipes they produced.
High-level alchemists would not even bother to touch this kind of ungraded elixir, and low-level alchemists could not produce it, so Yang Lan'er was fearless.
Hou Yang’s plan was very good, but I’m afraid it will fail.
Even if we take a step back and say that the Rare Treasures Pavilion really saw the profits from this elixir and wanted to keep it all for itself, and really let a high-level alchemist to make it, Yang Lan'er wouldn't mind. She would probably have made enough money by then. She never thought of maintaining a monopoly, which was unrealistic in itself.
Just when she wanted to monopolize the market forever, she would probably be overwhelmed by all the jealous people. Yang Lan'er was determined not to do such a stupid thing.
Therefore, Yang Lan'er requested that the provider of underwater breathing pills must keep it absolutely confidential.
In addition, she also has to get a share of the spirit stones sold in the world of cultivation, etc. All these details were considered so comprehensively that Hou Yang broke out in a cold sweat, leaving him no chance to find any loopholes.
Of course, the more this happened, the more Hou Yang liked Yang Lan'er. He felt that this girl would definitely be different in the future, and it was necessary to establish a good relationship with her now.
If I didn't do this business of making pills, I wouldn't make a penny. Now that I'm doing this, at least I can still make some income, no matter if it's 50% or 10%, it's always something.
What's more, the Rare Treasures Pavilion is not without rivals throughout the entire continent. If it is lured away by a competitor, it will not only be a matter of not making a profit, but also suffer losses.
Of course, Yang Lan'er would not do anything so drastic. In fact, the raw materials for underwater breathing pills are very simple, so simple that the cost can be ignored.
Think about it, most medicinal materials can be found in modern society, how rare can they be? However, Yang Lan'er would not be so stupid as to only need the raw materials for the elixir. She would definitely plan to get some good stuff and leave 20% profit for the Rare Treasure Pavilion.
Otherwise, Yang Lan'er would not agree to this profit-sharing price. She did not bargain because it would benefit herself.
Both parties were willing to cooperate and the deal was agreed upon instantly. After the contract was signed, it took effect immediately.
The contracts in this world are bound by certain rules of heaven and earth. By then, it will be unlikely for the Rare Treasure Pavilion to default on its debts.
In this contract, Yang Lan'er also mentioned one point, which is the time it will take for the underwater breathing pill to appear. It will take at least half a year, and it can only be sold after the competition is completely over.
This was the request from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Yang Lan'er thought it made sense, so she agreed.
There were so many onlookers at the time, and although they knew that a way to facilitate underwater movement had appeared, they did not know it was an elixir, so they were not afraid of it getting out for the time being.
What's more, the transmission of information in this world is not as convenient as in modern times. It is definitely not easy to spread the news without physical evidence.
Hou Yang agreed without hesitation. The bigger the sensation, the more the elixir would be worth. Moreover, if the Qianxiang Dynasty achieved good results, it would be a win-win for him.
Of course, the most important point is that even if he wants to refute or disagree, it is meaningless because the decision-making power is always in Yang Lan'er's hands.
As soon as Hou Yang left, everyone looked at Yang Lan'er with shining eyes and asked the one who had made a fortune to treat them.
Although they didn't know the details of what the two discussed, they understood that Yang Lan'er would definitely make a fortune, and blackmailing her was the mildest option.
Yang Lan'er squinted at everyone and said, "Isn't this meal my treat? You can't have it normally. If you have the guts, just don't eat it."
"Oh, Lan'er is the best, who should we follow?"
"Yeah, why bother about it so much!"
"It's all about eating, right? Sharing joy is worse than enjoying it alone!"
“…”
Listening to a group of people talking at once, they could come up with any reason, just to have an extra meal, Yang Laner held her forehead with her hand, some of them were obviously not foodies, why did it feel like they were being led astray? Because the second round ended early, the rest time was a little longer this time, and the content of the third round was no suspense at all, that was the ring elimination round.
In the past, all members of a team were randomly drawn, which meant that they would very likely run into their own teammates on the stage. Their individual scores were counted anyway, so it didn't matter if they ran into teammates, as long as they could determine who was better.
This time, the draw will be conducted as a whole, with thirty teams drawing thirty lots, and then all members will compete against each other.
You can decide the specific order of going on stage by yourself, and one person can fight on multiple stages at the same time.
In other words, if you have the ability, you can defeat the entire team by yourself.
However, anyone who loses the game or leaves the ring cannot continue in the same competition.
Therefore, the order of appearance is key.
In this way, the final victory is naturally the team victory, and individual points are all determined by the number of wins.
In other words, if you want to get the first place in the third round, you should compete as many times as possible in the competition to increase your number of wins! Although this rule allows people to exploit loopholes and it is not difficult for individuals to gain points, Yang Lan'er is very calm. As long as the team can enter the final four, her place in the empire will be secure. Even if she doesn't get the first place in the end, it doesn't matter at all.
As for the bets outside, since everyone understood the rules, they were all quite rational, so fewer people bet on Yang Lan'er this time.
Although everyone thinks that Yang Lan'er is very strong, the strength of the team is there. It is not easy for Yang Lan'er to win the first place in the end.
This is a good thing for Yang Lan'er. At least she doesn't have to feel pressured to compete for the first place.
From the beginning, she had no intention of doing this.
The matter of drawing lots was naturally handled by the Lord of Lezhou City. Everyone was waiting for the result in the inn. Whoever they fought was the one they fought. The Lord of Lezhou City felt a lot of pressure. When he went to draw lots, he brought Zhu Shasha with him. This little girl was lucky, so it was most practical to let her draw lots.
I don’t know if it’s because of this, but the lottery draw was very good. The opponent was Yinghua City, a second-tier city that has never been able to compete with Lezhou City in previous years and is almost at the bottom.
Although the overall strength has improved this year, it is still far from being a match for Lezhou City.
Everyone in Lezhou City discussed and decided that in order to increase Yang Lan'er's personal points, she would be the first to go up.
This is the misfortune of Film City, which was entirely caused by Yang Lan'er alone.
This is an extra chapter for the 90 monthly tickets, so today is the third chapter! OK...
