Chapter Summary
Like that guy from before, who knew nothing and yet spoke so arrogantly, clearly giving others an opportunity to laugh at him. Lin Lei wasn't authorized to open it; only when the two guild leaders had their keys combined, and under the supervision of all the mages, could these items be taken. Collecting these herbs wasn't easy, and many powerful families outside knew the Mage Guild was collecting them, so they immediately drove up the price.
The two factions within the Mage's Guild were still arguing. No matter what Liu Ning did, they all felt uncomfortable. However, some supported Liu Ning because they were all intelligent enough not to think Liu Ning was wrong. Liu Ning's strength was undeniable; would he risk his career? If he truly couldn't develop it, he wouldn't even bother looking at it for dozens of years. They understood perfectly well that in this state, getting these things right was extremely difficult. Sometimes, you have to understand that things require time. Like that guy from before, who knew nothing and yet spoke so arrogantly, clearly giving others an opportunity to laugh at him. Such a person was a magic novice—truly ridiculous.
Liu Ning rested briefly downstairs, while Mr. Lin Lei discussed matters with some people upstairs. The main issue was accessing the Mage Guild's warehouse, which contained a large quantity of precious medicinal herbs. Liu Ning wanted to take them away immediately. Mr. Lin Lei wasn't authorized to open it; only when the two guild leaders had their keys combined, and under the supervision of all the mages, could these items be taken. These formulas were expensive; just a few herbs alone were worth hundreds of billions of yuan. Although mages didn't care about the money, the matter at hand was significant. Collecting these herbs wasn't easy, and many powerful families outside knew the Mage Guild was collecting them, so they immediately drove up the price. It wasn't that they were targeting the Mage Guild; it was simply because these herbs were profitable. Would they pass up a lucrative business? Of course not.
The Mage Guild was indeed wealthy and powerful. Liu Ning had just said he only needed three portions of herbs, but the guild members immediately produced six. Their determination to succeed was obvious. The magic followers naturally had something to say about the mages' methods: "You're being incredibly foolish! Giving away all this stuff like that—aren't you afraid they'll seize it?" Actually, the mages weren't afraid at all. As long as their standards were met, they were capable of anything. As long as they could refine the ancient magic potion for them, they would simply name their price. The Mage Guild never shortchange anyone. Everything they had was open to trade; it all depended on what the mages thought. If they could do this well, what did a little extra money matter?
Liu Ning hadn't expected things to be resolved so quickly. When he left with his belongings, he also received another item: a one-cubic-meter storage space. The quantity of medicinal herbs was simply too much; mages were noble people, how could they possibly give you a huge backpack? So, they had another idea. They prepared a one-cubic-meter storage space for Liu Ning. If it were stored elsewhere, this thing alone would be worth a lot, so why would they just give him a storage space as a gift? But the Mage Guild was so generous; for them, this was nothing, a casual tip they could easily give away. Liu Ning, of course, wouldn't refuse and happily accepted it. Who could bear to refuse such a wealthy client? So, Liu Ning had truly struck gold at this moment; the Mage Guild was indeed a great partner.
"I really can't believe it. I've mentally prepared for this situation many times. I thought this place was a den of dragons and tigers, but I didn't expect it to end like this. I got through to you so easily. I really feel that some of the rumors circulating in society are not true. Many people told me that the Mage Guild is very difficult to deal with, and if you offend them, you probably won't have a good life for the rest of your life. Today, I really want to grab their ears and show them that the Mage Guild is not what you think. In fact, the Mage Guild is quite good. Under these circumstances, the Mage Guild can still treat me like this. I really feel flattered. My friend must have worked hard for me. I really have to thank you for this. Without your efforts back then, the result would probably be completely different now."
Stepping out of the Mage's Guild, Liu Ning felt an extraordinary sense of relief. It had been a long time since he'd experienced anything like this. This had been like a huge weight lifted from his shoulders. When he fought Mr. Yale, Liu Ning hadn't anticipated all the consequences. Under those circumstances, even with all that trouble, Liu Ning would have disregarded it all. His wife had been bullied so badly; to have any other thoughts would be utterly foolish. So there was nothing more to say. Liu Ning's actions made it clear to everyone: whatever you think, make it clear that if we do something like this, you should behave yourselves. Otherwise, we'll see what happens next. The final outcome will depend on our strength.
"Don't try to act innocent after getting a good deal. Don't you know what the situation is like now? Look at the state of things. If it weren't for your ability to concoct this potion, do you think this matter would have ended so easily? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Just like this matter, you were able to concoct a lot of potions for them, which is a very good thing for them. That's why they respect you. Otherwise, a major battle would have been inevitable today. Don't think that the Mage's Guild is easy to talk to. They're only easy to talk to if they need you. You should be very clear about that."
