Chapter 110 Let’s Make Money Together

Clara renamed it 'Eye of the Sea,' a unique potion that enhances soul force perception and is still a first-grade potion. It's both affordable and unparalleled, which is why it sparked a frenzy upon release, becoming this year's dark horse in the potion market and generating significant buzz.

Although counterfeits have started to appear, Clara had already made a fortune. Additionally, she used the influence of the Jinbeibei Trading Company to crack down on piracy in major cities and districts, even if not everywhere. Some key partners, like Aurora City, were quite cooperative, for which Jinbeibei had to provide some benefits to the city guards.

The deal was still profitable; the necessary expenses were worth it to strengthen relationships.

Despite the price dropping to around three hundred, it seemed close to reaching its profit margin. Fortunately, this potion could be used as a regular one, ensuring steady sales despite the thin margins. After all, it was a flagship product, and only Jinbeibei could guarantee its authenticity, while others could only sell it secretly, leaving buyers uncertain about its genuineness.

Usually, true potion masters wouldn't pay much attention to how merchants make their money, but this time was different.

For instance, Mentor Famaar from the Institute of Potions at Rose Holy Sanctuary has been particularly concerned about this matter due to a rumor circulating among the populace.

According to the rumor, this latest first-grade potion came from a disciple of Rose Holy Sanctuary who felt unjustly treated there and, in anger, sold the potion to the sea race...

A Rose disciple inventing a new potion? Unjust treatment?

What nonsense!

When Famaar first heard this news, she was utterly enraged...

Rose Holy Sanctuary has been bustling with talent lately, with each division boasting exceptional individuals.

Take Black Wukai from Martial Dao Courtyard, who recently defeated eighteen students from Judgment Martial Dao Courtyard single-handedly, bringing great honor to Rose and hailed as a potential hero who could turn things around for the sanctuary.

The Wizard Academy is even more impressive, with Lucky Heaven and Longmoer. Even without considering the Eight Greats, Soul Beast Academy has the ninth lady of the Li family, Winnie Lee.

None of these are weaklings; they are all capable of participating in the Hero Conference. Even the usually stern-faced Dean Mei of the Wizard Academy has been smiling more often, feeling vindicated.

External help?

External help is better than nothing.

Even non-combat divisions are thriving.

Rune Academy, for example, has Wang Feng and Princess Yin Fu, who together developed a new rune deemed worthy of inclusion in the Basic Rune Sequence Compilation, ensuring their names would live on forever!

Even Luo Yan from Foundry found a genius, adding them to the Steel Rose Team. Why?

Famaar was truly frustrated.

With Karida's expansion, every division had some gains, at least enough to save face. Even the obscure Soul Beast Division still had Winnie Lee. But why couldn't their Potion Division produce a single notable achievement?

So when Famaar heard that a breakout potion on the market was invented by a Rose disciple, every cell in her body rejoiced and craved it desperately!

She thought, "Our Potion Division hasn't done anything unethical. Why should we be singled out?"

To rise and gain recognition within Rose Holy Sanctuary and throughout Aurora City, they must find this disciple!

Not only must they find him, but they must also rectify the so-called 'unfair treatment' mentioned in the rumor.

They must show everyone that the Rose Potion Division is just as talented and capable! As Dean Famaar, known for fairness and integrity, she would never allow such injustice under her watch!

Unfortunately, after thoroughly investigating all the potion disciples, Famaar was disappointed.

None of those fools were responsible, nor did any dare to claim credit!

But being Deputy Dean Famaar, she immediately considered another possibility: Could it be an inter-divisional collaboration?

It was rumored that Princess Lucky Heaven loved studying potions!

It's worth discussing; external help is good too.

Famaar's eyes nearly turned green with excitement.

......

Old Wang, who was being talked about, clearly lacked the awareness to repay his mentor's faith, mainly because he didn't know about it...

Old Wang was still struggling with the two million teleportation fee.

To be honest, the system in this world is well-established, and various skills are highly developed. Low-grade potions like those from League of Blades are rare, and high-grade potions cannot be produced due to physical, spiritual, and material constraints. Without finished products, one can't even apply for potion certification.

Converting runes and forging into money is also challenging, making two million a daunting sum for Old Wang. With his current status, earning this amount safely was incredibly difficult.

After much consideration, he decided to focus on Clara again.

Since developing the Golden Barrier, Old Wang had been closely watching the success of Eye of the Sea and the impact of counterfeit products. Luckily, with the market's growing popularity and the proliferation of counterfeits, he felt the timing was ripe.

While Clara could maintain the market for now, it would eventually be overwhelmed. Local protectionism and conflicting interests across cities, races, and regions would pose a significant challenge when the potion was rebranded and widely released.

In essence, it would become a price war.

High-cost operations like Jinbeibei would likely lose market share under low-cost competition, especially if Clara remained indifferent. As someone with business acumen, he couldn't let his friend suffer losses.

He needed to make Clara aware of this issue and ensure they shared the profits.

Though Clara had agreed during their barbecue, Old Wang decided to discuss specifics with her.

Mainly, he needed to secure a material advance or direct supplies. Without proper preparation, he couldn't communicate with the Potion Division through the Autonomous Council, and without free labor, the profit margin would be lower.

Considering the potential dangers outside the Holy Sanctuary, Old Wang carefully wore the Golden Barrier, though he was pained by its dwindling energy.

Safety comes first, so he thought of his dear junior brother.

Surprisingly, Mo Tong was the only one studying in the Rune Academy lecture hall.

"Where's Yin Fu? Didn't she come?" Old Wang asked as he entered.

The Kinnara princess had explosive defensive powers with her exorcism magic. The key was that she was obedient and wouldn’t gossip around. She was also beautiful and pleasing to the eye, not to mention loyal to him. This was simply the best free bodyguard in the world!

Mo Tong looked up and saw it was Wang Feng. Instantly, he felt a surge of anger.

Last time, when it came to slapping someone, all the glory went to Wang Feng. He was the one who got to play the hero, while Mo Tong thought he would be featured in the newspapers for his heroic image. Without him, Wang Feng would have been beaten to a pulp.

However, he didn’t even get a mention. These humans were truly infuriating!

He shouldn’t have softened his heart to help this shameless guy. Mo Tong was so angry that he went and beat up Fanta fiercely. To be honest, that fatty’s texture was quite good; now, Mo Tong was almost addicted to it. If he didn’t hit him for two days, his hands would itch.

"Not here!" Mo Tong replied irritably.

"Where did he go?"

"Why should I tell you?" Mo Tong glared, being straightforward as always: "But you, you’re never around. Let me tell you, my runes are advancing rapidly. I’ll surpass you sooner or later!"

"Junior Brother, I’ve never doubted your talent. I just got lucky, that’s all. Oh, by the way, I’m going to stroll down the Avenue of Eight Sages. Do you want to come along? Never mind, you should focus on your runes."

"No, I’m coming. Why can’t I come? I’ll surpass you without even practicing hard!" Mo Tong couldn’t stand Wang Feng’s superior attitude.

I’ll... practice secretly when I get back!

"Forget it. Brother Da gave me a task. I need to talk business with the Sea Clan. You’d better not come..."

"The Sea Clan? I’m coming too. With me around, no one will dare to cheat you!" Mo Tong became interested at the mention of the Sea Clan. Honestly, the Asura people never included him in their activities. Hei Wu Kai was always out having fun, Longmoer was too rigid, and Yin Fu was focused on runes. He had wanted to go out for a long time.

Indeed, it had been several days since he last saw his junior brother. He missed him. Seeing those bulging muscles, he felt a sense of security. Wang Feng was somewhat satisfied; he could fight.

When Mo Tong noticed Old Wang’s gleaming eyes scanning his pectorals, he suddenly remembered the famous line from the training ground last time. He felt inexplicably nervous and instinctively covered his chest.

"Hey, Wang Feng! What are you trying to do? Stop, stay there, don’t come any closer!"

"We’re fellow disciples, don’t be so distant." Old Wang walked over enthusiastically, sat next to Mo Tong, and looked at him appreciatively: "In just a few days, Junior Brother, you’ve grown taller and stronger. Your muscles seem even bigger. You haven’t been slacking off, have you? It’s so heartwarming to see how hardworking you are. Come on, today, Senior Brother will take you to a great place and treat you to a big meal!"

Mo Tong felt uneasy under the scrutiny but eventually let Old Wang take him away.
