Chapter Summary
The main reason was his system; with just one bottle of ancient magic potion, Liu Ning could deduce its effects. Without Liu Ning, the Bai family would only be one of the eight major groups, but now they had become the head of the eight major groups, and their strength was still growing. It's precisely because of this that these guys are all very happy when Liu Ning is doing these things, because they finally see hope—a hope they haven't had in years.
Lin Lei was at a loss for words. He had only intended to help Liu Ning, but this whole affair had backfired spectacularly. This guy clearly had them cornered now. Why? Well, he had his own reasons. If he wasn't confident in them, how could he make money here? High-level alchemists held a prestigious position in the world, and many knew how to operate. When they did things, everyone else had to obey them. However, working with mages was often fraught with difficulties. Mages didn't play by the rules; if you wanted to cooperate, you had to follow their instructions. Now, that wasn't necessary because they had found the ancient magic potion they desperately needed. In this world, everything has its counter, but Liu Ning had never been outmaneuvered. The main reason was his system; with just one bottle of ancient magic potion, Liu Ning could deduce its effects.
Actually, Lin Lei came today with two tasks. One task was to help Liu Ning overcome this difficulty, and the other task was to have a good discussion with Liu Ning. Because their Mage Guild lacked this kind of thing, and the supply of such things on the market was decreasing. If they wanted to increase it, they needed a senior apothecary to research it. They had sought out senior apothecaries before.
Unfortunately, the high-level alchemists they found weren't very capable, so they had to find someone with stronger abilities. That person fell to Liu Ning. Liu Ning's alchemy skills were well-known throughout society. Why was the Bai family so powerful now? Without Liu Ning, the Bai family would only be one of the eight major groups, but now they had become the head of the eight major groups, and their strength was still growing. This was inseparable from Liu Ning's influence. Therefore, if Liu Ning could research this matter, it would be a very good thing for their Mage Guild. As long as they could research this, it would be a great thing for them. No matter what grudges they had in the past, as long as this matter was handled well, they could completely let bygones be bygones. Compared to those past hatreds, the ancient magic potion was the most important thing, and other things didn't need to be considered. These people had to be very clear about this.
Before coming here, the Mage Guild had already done some research on Liu Ning, knowing his ability to concoct potions. He could concoct mostly super-grade or higher potions, and some were even super-high-grade, which was extremely rare in society. Take the cheapest healing potions, for example. Ordinary healing potions weren't scarce; anyone with money could buy low- or medium-grade ones, and even some magic apprentices could concoct them. So it wasn't anything special. But the problem was, buying super-grade potions was much more difficult. Only advanced alchemists could concoct them, and the success rate was questionable. Getting all of them wouldn't be easy either. Therefore, they hoped Liu Ning could create a miracle. If he could concoct super-high-grade ancient magic potions for them, their combat power might more than double.
Liu Ning was well aware of their thoughts, so he had nothing to say about it. Since they had come to him seeking his help and had high hopes for him, he would make some important demands. Whether they agreed or not, he had already stated them, and their cooperation would be based on these demands. If they agreed to his demands, everything would be fine; if not, they would go their separate ways and not interfere in each other's affairs. As for the demands of the Mage Guild, he would try his best to fulfill them. This was Liu Ning's current thinking; it was up to them to decide. If they wanted to resolve the matter, they needed to discuss it properly. Neither side should try to gain an advantage; both had to pay an equal price. Otherwise, the agreement would be impossible.
"Your requests are nothing compared to what we lack. Do you know how much we lack these things? Over the years, we've consulted 22 senior apothecaries. Do you know what 22 senior apothecaries represent? They represent 60% of the world's senior apothecaries. They've all researched these things for us, but they all failed. The reason we have confidence in you is based on your previous reports. Your reports were truly outstanding. No matter what it is, you can easily produce it, and their quality is extremely high. This is something we've never encountered before. It's precisely because of this that we're giving you this opportunity. Although we're friends, I sincerely hope you succeed. If I have the Ancient Magic Potion, I'm likely to go much further in the field of magic. Our entire Mage Guild will be extremely grateful for everything you've done for us. As for the price, it's not an issue at all."
Negotiating with wealthy and powerful people is incredibly comfortable. If it were someone else, they would never tell you these things and would likely create all sorts of difficulties. But this time it's completely different. Everything this guy is saying is the truth, and what he's saying is absolutely correct. Liu Ning is naturally willing to negotiate with such people because negotiating with them guarantees the highest possible benefit—that's a certainty. It's precisely because of this that these guys are all very happy when Liu Ning is doing these things, because they finally see hope—a hope they haven't had in years. They understand this perfectly; after doing all this, they will get what they need. It's a win-win situation.
