Chapter 2029  A Decision

"A trade to hopefully not lose our suppliers," Alex said.

"What sort of trade?" Alex smiled. "There was a reason I sent you out. You\'ll know about this one day, but that day is not today."

Yanwei frowned but didn\'t argue. "There is still a chance that we will lose them then," she said.

"Yes, my plan wasn\'t foolproof."

"What if we lose them?"

Alex shrugged. "Then we go searching for another one."

Yanwei grunted in some level of anger. "This is what happened to me as well. I go from one store to another to another, and soon everyone stops working with me. It took me less than 10 years to run out of stores to help me."

"I barely survived thanks to the guild sending me ingredients. We might have to start doing that soon too," she said.

"Will that work?" Alex asked.

"Probably not," she said. "The main problem will be the fact that they will saturate the entire street with other shops that will start stealing our customers soon enough."

Alex nodded. "I believe I saw one open down the street from us. It was a small one though."

"It will take a while before they get to us," Wang Yanwei said. "We don\'t have to immediately worry, but we do have to worry. Sooner or later, you will have to duel them as well."

Alex smiled. He was praying for that.

They went off to their own home, neither of them unaware of the chaos that had been created that night. * * * * * *

Pang Mihua arrived at the Pang Family\'s ancestral house at the edge of the city to the west and walked through a series of hallways to arrive before a large door.

She called out to the person. "Grandfather, this is Mihua. I request your audience."

The world remained silent for her for nearly 5 minutes before the doors opened. She walked in and arrived at a large bedroom where an old man with fluffy white hair sat on top of the bed.

"What have you come to talk, child?" the man asked without opening his eyes.

"This was sent to the store today using a proxy. You must make a decision, grandfather," the woman said.

The man took the talisman, and read through it. He tossed it back. "You come to me for such nonsense?" he asked, his words striking fear into Mihua\'s heart. "The decision should be obvious."

Mihua took the talisman, hiding her fear as well as she could. "Grandfather, this decision will have us stop supplying ingredients to the Dawn Apothecary store."

"I am aware. Doesn\'t Renwei\'s daughter work there? That\'s all the more reason to go through with this decision," he said.

"Grandfather! She\'s also your granddaughter. Can\'t you show her some love?" Mihua asked.

The man finally opened his eyes, his blue pupils staring directly at her. "I do not wish to argue about this with you Mihua. You should leave now."

Mihua sighed. "I have another thing, grandfather," she said as she produced the bottle of 5 pills that Alex had given her. She handed it over to her grandfather along with a Pill tester.

The old man looked at the pills, frowning as they didn\'t seem much special. He knew what the pills were and what they did, but given how regular they were, he couldn\'t understand why his granddaughter would give them to him.

He took the pill tester she had provided and began testing the quality of the pill. He placed the first pill in there and a few seconds later he got the answer.

96%.

His eyes widened slightly, confused if he had misread the value of the tester. He pulled out another one of the pills and checked them. This one had 95% harmony. He checked the rest of the pills and not a single one of them had below 95% harmony. He even doubted that the pill tester was broken and took out one that he owned and tested the pills again, only to get the same answer.

"What is this?" he asked in the end, more confused than he had ever been in a thousand years. "How did you get this? Did you make this?"

"They were provided in counter-offer to this demand," Mihua said, showing the talisman in her hand. "Should we reject this offer, we will receive those very pills once every month."

"ONCE EVERY MONTH?" the man couldn\'t contain his surprise at all. "How did you get these pills?"

These were a level of pills that were near impossible for any Immortal realm cultivator to make consistently. Even the Supreme Immortal Alchemists of the city could only barely go beyond 90%, and that was with the good materials.

For these sorts of pills… the old man simply couldn\'t imagine how one could do this.

"I cannot tell you, Grandfather," Mihua said. "I am under oath to not divulge that information."

"Can you tell me nothing?" he asked. "Was it that Dawnbale fellow or whatever his name is?"

Mihua showed no reaction at all.

The old man looked at her for a few seconds and nodded. "I shouldn\'t be asking this of you. Can you guarantee that these pills will continue coming our way?" he asked.

"So long as we do not stop sending ingredients over to the Dawn Apothecary Store," Mihua said.

"Can you contact this person again?" she asked.

"I should be able to contact someone who can contact them," she said.

"Good. Go and ask the exact duration of time they are willing to provide us with these pills. If we get over 100 such pills in the entirety, make the right decision and ignore that threat."

Mihua nodded. "I shall do that tomorrow morning, Grandfather."

The old man nodded. "These pills will help our younglings surpass their peers. We have found ourselves a golden goose, child. Make sure not to let it die."

Mihua smiled lightly. "I will make sure to not let it happen, Grandfather."

"You may leave now."

Mihua closed the door and walked through the hallway, a lingering smile layered on her face as she made her way back to the inner city.

Early next morning, instead of sending some other individual, Mihua herself went to the Dawn Apothecary store and waited for Alex and the rest to arrive.

Alex arrived at the store with Fang Yixue and Pearl, and while the two opened the store and prepared for the day, he went to have a private conversation with the woman.

"Our family head has decided to accept your request so long as you promise to deliver at least 100 such pills, with high quality."

"100?" Alex asked, thinking for a second. That was just a 2 years task. And here he had been intending to give them 5 a month for as many years as it took for the situation to be over.

He made a thinking face for a moment and nodded. "My master should be able to accept that," he said. "I will promise you myself that for the next 2 years, you will receive these pills without any delay whatsoever."
