After confirming that Sun Xiude was of good character, Qin Chuan began to entertain the idea of taking him on.
Xiao Mengyi’s Tianmei Pharmaceuticals had already signed a contract worth a hundred billion with the Battle Domain, and Qin Chuan himself had promised Lu Yaozong to provide a hundred Marrow-Cleansing Pills to the Battle Domain every month.
If he could find a trustworthy alchemist to help, it would greatly alleviate his pressure.
"If I join your pharmaceutical company, are you really willing to teach me the art of pill refinement?"
After hearing Qin Chuan’s words, Sun Xiude asked excitedly.
Qin Chuan nodded, "Does Sage Hand Sun think I have any need to deceive you?"
"I’m willing! I am willing!"
To Qin Chuan’s surprise, once Sun Xiude was certain that Qin Chuan wouldn’t deceive him, he quickly nodded in agreement.
This scene shocked everyone present.
Sun Xiude was one of the four Saintly Hands of the National Medical Hall; not just in Shen Zhou, but all around the world, countless pharmaceutical companies wanted to hire him.
And now, he had agreed to a young man’s invitation.
Once this news got out, it would surely shock the entire Shen Zhou.
For many years, Qin Chuan was the first to poach someone from the National Medical Hall, and not just anyone but a National Medical Saint Hand, and he had succeeded.
Seeing that Sun Xiude had agreed, Qin Chuan then said, "My pharmaceutical company is currently negotiating the acquisition of a drug production line, which I estimate will take about half a month. You should use this time to settle your affairs, then come and find me in half a month."
"Okay, Boss, I’ll go back to the National Medical Hall now. I won’t need half a month; in at most one week, I’ll come to you!"
Sun Xiude said excitedly, fearing that Qin Chuan would have a change of heart, promptly addressing him as boss, then turned around to leave.
Everyone was stunned.
Sun Xiude had just reached the door when suddenly he remembered something, hastily returning to Qin Chuan.
He somewhat reluctantly handed over the White Porcelain Bottle, "Boss, I’m returning the Evergreen Pill to you!"
Qin Chuan smiled faintly, "This Evergreen Pill is a gift for you, keep it!"
"This..."
Sun Xiude suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
It was the first time he had seen an elixir of such high quality, and he really liked it, but to just accept it made him feel uncomfortable.
Qin Chuan said, "Just a mere Evergreen Pill, don’t be polite, Sage Hand Sun. Settle your personal affairs as soon as possible, and come find me, so I can start teaching you the art of pill refinement right away."
"Haha!"
Sun Xiude laughed heartily, no longer being courteous, he put away the White Porcelain Bottle, saying with a laugh, "Since that’s the case, then I’ll accept it, goodbye Boss!"
With eyes wide open, everyone watched Sage Hand Sun leave, especially the medical staff, who still felt as if they were dreaming.
They did not understand the art of alchemy, nor could they comprehend what an alchemist capable of refining Evergreen Pills meant in the Martial Path World.
"He is one of the four Saintly Hands of the National Medical Hall, has he gone mad? Actually joining a local pharmaceutical company in Jiangcheng City?"
"Didn’t that young man just give Sage Hand Sun a pill? It’s not some miraculous elixir."
"What do you know? I heard that at the Premium Auction House, a pill was once auctioned for the sky-high price of a billion!"
...
The group of medical personnel was all in shock.
Meanwhile, Yu Lin thought contemptuously, these worldly people were all ignorant, not knowing at all how terrifying a pill refiner capable of making advanced elixirs could be.
Yu Lin’s reverence for Qin Chuan had also reached an unsurpassable level.
He asked cautiously, "Mr. Qin, if I have any martial arts questions in the future, may I seek your guidance in Jiangcheng City?"
Qin Chuan nodded, "Yes, you may!"
Yu Lin bowed deeply, saying with utmost respect, "Thank you, Mr. Qin!"
"Hmph!"
At that moment, an untimely voice suddenly rang out, "The Family Head has not been cured yet, and you are already busy flattering him?"
The speaker was Ding Wei.
At this time, Ding Wei stared at Qin Chuan with a chill on his face and said, "Kid, I don’t care how you fooled Sun Shengshou into joining your company, but I must warn you, if anything happens to our Family Head, you won’t escape the blame!"
Master Feng quickly scolded, "Ding Wei, shut your mouth!"
He was very clear about how terrifying Qin Chuan was, for he had killed a martial artist at the Energizing Skill Middle Stage Realm with just a stomp of his foot before.
Such a high-level fighter was not someone who could be provoked casually.
Indeed, Qin Chuan’s gaze immediately turned icy, and a dreadful murderous intent burst forth from his eyes.
Murong Mingyue had just come back to her senses and immediately panicked. She quickly scolded Ding Wei, "Elder Ding, Mr. Qin is a distinguished guest of our Murong Family, you must not be disrespectful! Apologize to Mr. Qin right now!"
"Apologize?"
Ding Wei was not afraid at all and sneered, "Why should I? In my eyes, he’s nothing but a swindler!"
"He claimed that he could cure the Family Head, but what is the outcome? The Family Head shows no signs of awakening. Since he wants to attach himself to the Murong Family through crooked ways, he must show his true abilities."
"If he cannot cure the Family Head, then he will have to bury along with the Family Head!"
Master Feng, sweating profusely with anger, exclaimed, "Ding Wei, stop your nonsense right now, and if you dare to be disrespectful to Mr. Qin again, I will really take action against you!"
Yu Lin also looked coldly at Ding Wei.
Murong Mingyue’s expression chilled as well. She had managed to get Qin Chuan to agree to save her grandfather, and after witnessing Sun Shengshou kneel to apprentice himself, she became even more determined to further their relationship with Qin Chuan.
Yet now, a private physician of the Murong Family dared to be repeatedly disrespectful to Qin Chuan.
Murong Mingyue said coldly, "Ding Wei, I order you to apologize to Mr. Qin this instant, or else, leave the Murong Family!"
At this moment, Murong Mingyue lost all her previous courtesy toward Ding Wei, radiating the authority of a superior.
Ding Wei was immediately stunned, having never expected the young lady who had always treated him with decorum to speak to him in such a manner.
Yu Lin and Master Feng were both watching him with cold eyes.
He finally realized he had truly angered the young lady, filling his heart with dread.
But remembering the people backing him, he soon felt a bit relieved.
Ding Wei scoffed, "Murong Mingyue, not only have you not yet entered the decision-making echelons of the family, even if you had, you have no right to send me away."
"I was personally invited to join the Murong Family by the Family Head himself, and if anyone is to send me away, it should be the Family Head himself."
"If, unfortunately, the Family Head passes on, then the Third Master decides."
"What are you to order me to leave?"
No one expected the typically placid Ding Wei to utter such words.
Murong Mingyue’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Kid, you’d better pray that the Family Head wakes up, otherwise, prepare to accompany him in burial!"
Ding Wei no longer paid attention to Murong Mingyue and turned to Qin Chuan, saying with a sarcastic tone, "If you know what’s good for you, get away right now."
His tone carried an undertone of threat.
