I Am Your Natural Enemy

Chapter 368: Chapter 159: Benefiting Everyone, Haters Increase by One (5k)_2

Grand Uncle Master and several Great Uncle Masters all looked a bit moved; they really didn’t expect Wen Yan to have such an idea.

”Even if the consumption is small, those few pieces of Mountain Lord Tiger Bone are still being consumed. If they’re used as medicinal material to start a pharmaceutical company, I’m afraid they won’t last too long.”

”Actually... there will be more next month.”

”There will be more of what?”

”A few more pieces of tiger bone. I still have one left myself, and if nothing unexpected happens, there will be about the same amount next month—should... be enough, right?”

”...”

Grand Uncle Master and the others were silent for a good while; they couldn’t quite understand. This is Mountain Lord Tiger Bone, what do you mean there will be more next month?

Are you going to slaughter another Mountain Lord next month?

”Actually, it’s just...” Wen Yan wanted to say that Hu Yuan was willing or whatever, but as soon as he started, Grand Uncle Master raised his hand to stop him.

”No need for more explanation. You mean, next month, there’ll be about the same amount of tiger bone with similar quality?”

”Yes.”

”Then what you’re proposing isn’t impossible; after all, for ordinary people, this tiger bone at most can be used as medicine, and the consumption really isn’t much.”

The more Grand Uncle Master thought about it, the more he felt Wen Yan had a vision.

He’s not only found a business for Fuyu Mountain, but also brought benefits to the general public. Take something like rheumatism—those claims about a cure are just pure nonsense.

If there’s an affordable medicine that really works, that’s truly doing good for everyone.

This actually fits perfectly with Fuyu Mountain’s philosophy; they’ve always done what they can, within their means.

They knew this tiger bone must’ve come from Mountain Lord Hu Yuan, but they didn’t mind; after all, if you don’t use it, it’s just a very dense bone. Only by using it does it gain any value.

”Grand Uncle Master, and the rest of you—if you think this is workable, we could talk to Medicine King Mountain first?”

I could also talk to the Scorching Sun Department and have them help out.”

”Alright, I’ll talk to the people from Medicine King Mountain. You don’t have to worry about this. As long as we want to do this, there shouldn’t be much resistance, but since it involves pharmaceuticals, the process will be complex and can’t be done quickly, even with Medicine King Mountain’s endorsement.”

Wen Yan thought for a moment.

”Do we have a lawyer at Fuyu Mountain?”

”We do have a disciple who’s a lawyer, but... he’s a divorce lawyer.”

”...” Wen Yan’s mouth twitched. He thought, the employment scope of Fuyu Mountain disciples is really broad. Turns out, Zhang Laoxi is actually one of the few working in his original field.

”I know a lawyer, she’s really good, and she’s a professional—having her involved should make things a lot smoother. I’ll let her know, consider it a big job for her.”

”If you trust her, that’s good enough.”

”When it comes to professional work, she should be reliable.”

Wen Yan didn’t stay long at Fuyu Mountain. Once he confirmed everything, he left.

This time, Grand Uncle Master personally stepped up to talk to Old Six Sun from Medicine King Mountain.

Once Old Six Sun heard the details, he was instantly impressed. He simply confirmed Fuyu Mountain still had tiger bone, and didn’t ask any more—anything more would be overstepping.

This is good for Medicine King Mountain too, since they already have pharmaceutical companies and herbal plantations, an entire industrial chain—they’re actually quite wealthy and prestigious.

Fuyu Mountain’s proposal left Old Six Sun with no reason to refuse.

Medicine King Mountain’s legacy is a thousand years old—they care about reputation, not ruthless profit. Since Spiritual Qi Resurgence, they’ve realized even more that earning a little more or less doesn’t matter much; if anything, going too far might bring misfortune to the family.

The pharmaceutical companies under Medicine King Mountain haven’t had high profit margins; the only reason they’re not losing money is due to government support.

Grand Uncle Master was willing to work with Medicine King Mountain precisely because of their reputation—a thousand years of respect. Every generation of Medicine King Mountain Masters treats the ancestral Medicine King’s reputation like their own life.

That’s the highest priority for anyone who becomes the next mountain master.

After a quick initial discussion, Old Six Sun began calling up people at Medicine King Mountain non-stop about this.

It wasn’t until evening that he came in person to continue boiling medicine and compounding pills.

Fuyu Mountain wanted those muscle-and-bone-strengthening pills; he didn’t ask why. They wanted them, so he made them.

...

Wen Yan returned home, looked at the Crouching Tiger Stone Carving in the basement, and sighed.

”If this works out, a lot of people will benefit someday. This counts as a good deed done after your death—don’t thank me.”

He swallowed a pill and kept up his martial training. With his muscles and bones strengthened, he could feel it very clearly—his overall power was soaring, and his weaknesses were being rapidly covered.

If he gets into another fight, at least now he won’t have to rely entirely on Yang Energy explosions.

The bones and muscles are your frame and foundation; otherwise, get poked and you break a bone—how are you supposed to fight like that?

I’ve done what I should; the rest, I’ll leave to the pros.

...

On the outskirts of Crouching Tiger Mountain, Cai Qidong gazed into the big cave inside the mountain. When he saw the Purple Robe Taoist sitting cross-legged beside him open his eyes, he immediately asked,

”Taoist, what’s the situation down there?”

”This Nether Soul Realm has already stabilized. There’s a self-contained water system inside—a real cycle of vitality. You could physically enter, but ordinary people probably couldn’t endure the corrosion from all that Yin Qi.

Only Yin Gods leaving the body, or Nether Souls, could stay there for a long time.

Right now, besides a river inside, there’s nothing else.”
