Chapter 601: Chapter 600 A Hundred Million

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled.

"Since Miss Chu is so sincere, I’ll have to reluctantly part with it, but this Meridian Opening Elixir is a rare treasure, so it has to be at this price!"

Zhang Xiaoshan held up a finger.

"One million?"

Chu Xiaoxiao let out a sigh of relief.

"Only one million, you should have said so earlier, why play games?"

She reached out to snatch the Meridian Opening Elixir from Zhang Xiaoshan’s hand.

Zhang Xiaoshan took a step back, blocking Chu Xiaoxiao.

"What do you mean?" Chu Xiaoxiao looked dissatisfied.

Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled.

"Miss Chu, I think you might have misunderstood, I wasn’t talking about one million."

"So you mean ten million?"

Chu Xiaoxiao immediately became angry.

"You’re asking me ten million for a single elixir, why don’t you just rob someone?"

Zhang Xiaoshan merely smiled, not saying a word.

"You, you don’t tell me you want a billion?" Chu Xiaoxiao looked astonished at Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded affirmatively.

"Hehe, it seems I was wrong to call you a foolish lady earlier, Miss Chu; you’re actually quite astute, I do want a billion."

"What?"

Chu Xiaoxiao erupted.

"Zhang, don’t be too unreasonable, this is even worse than robbing a bank, a billion? Do you know how much money a billion is?"

"A billion can allow your whole village to stop working for a lifetime and live comfortably until old age, do you understand?"

"Are you insane?"

Due to her anger, Chu Xiaoxiao’s whole body shook as she spoke.

Standing at the kitchen door and listening, Yu Xiuxiu couldn’t help but walk over and tug at Zhang Xiaoshan’s sleeve, whispering.

"Little Shan, asking for a billion is too much, that’s an astronomical figure."

Zhang Xiaoshan laughed, remaining silent.

At that moment, Ye Feng stepped forward to mediate.

"Brother Zhang, isn’t your asking price a bit too high? A billion is such a large sum, even if a listed company were to cough it up all at once, it would have to tighten its financing, potentially breaking the entire company’s funding chain; that’s too harsh."

Ye Feng spoke the truth.

Last time, Lin Yanran’s family had to dip into their savings to buy that Red Sun Grass from Zhang Xiaoshan.

A billion in cash, even for a provincial tycoon, is a critically substantial amount of money.

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled.

"Alright, since Team Leader Ye has spoken, I must give you face, then let’s make it eighty million, not a penny less."

Eighty million was still a monumental number.

Claiming to give face to Ye Feng was merely an excuse; Zhang Xiaoshan had initially aimed for eighty million.

This related to the technique of negotiation, starting with a high figure, letting the other party haggle.

Ye Feng scrutinized Zhang Xiaoshan deeply, seeing that Zhang Xiaoshan was firm, he didn’t say anything more since he was just a mediator, Chu Xiaoxiao was the financier.

Chu Xiaoxiao lowered her head in thought for a moment, then looked up at Zhang Xiaoshan, her eyes blazing as she spoke.

"Eighty million is too much, don’t you have any concept of money?"

Zhang Xiaoshan scoffed.

"It’s not that I lack a concept of money, but rather I have a keen understanding of life’s value. I’m not selling the price of the medicine, but the price of life."

"This Meridian Opening Elixir is worthless to a beggar on the street; it wouldn’t matter if it were thrown away."

"But it’s different for your Chu family. Your family is among the top elite households in the Northwest provinces, your grandfather was a Martial Arts Master who ended up crippled, leading to your Chu family being increasingly oppressed by other families over the years, nearly falling out of the ranks of the top ten families of the Northwest."

"Buying the dignity and status of the Chu family for eighty million, is that really expensive?"

While Zhang Xiaoshan controlled Chu Xiaoxiao using the Dragon Spirit Refining God Skill, he accessed her memories and learned quite a bit about the Chu family.

Immediately, Chu Xiaoxiao was left speechless and fell silent.

Zhang Xiaoshan continued.

"Miss Chu, let’s not play these games, shall we? Not to mention the Chu family, just yourself, such a big star—how could you possibly not have tens of millions in savings?"

Chu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, then questioned Zhang Xiaoshan.

"But, but why should I trust you? How can I verify the effectiveness of this Divine Communication Elixir in your possession?"

"I can agree to price this elixir at eighty million, but I surely shouldn’t spend my money blindly, right?"

Zhang Xiaoshan hesitated for a moment.

"So, what do you want to do?"

A cunning look flashed in Chu Xiaoxiao’s eyes as she said,

"It’s simple: treat the illness first, and pay only if it works. This request is only reasonable, isn’t it?"

Zhang Xiaoshan hesitated.

This damn Chu Xiaoxiao can be quite smart sometimes.

Said like that, he really didn’t have any reason to refuse.

Forget it!

He thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

"Fine, just as you said, you take this Divine Communication Elixir and treat your grandfather’s meridian. Once his health improves, you pay me."

"But I warn you, once your grandfather starts improving, you must bring the money immediately. Just as I can heal his meridians, I can also ruin them."

"Hmph."

Chu Xiaoxiao was very pleased, not taking Zhang Xiaoshan’s threat seriously at all.

A mere village doctor, what right did he have to threaten the Chu family?

Ridiculous.

Still, she said,

"Don’t worry. I, the young lady of the Chu family, wouldn’t go back on my word, would I?"

"Hand it over."

Chu Xiaoxiao snatched the Divine Communication Elixir from Zhang Xiaoshan’s hand, her expression filled with surprise.

Zhang Xiaoshan walked over to the windowsill in his room.

He took down the mobile phone that had been placed there, with the video recording function already activated.

"You, you recorded this?"

Chu Xiaoxiao panicked.

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled.

"This is nothing shady, so what’s wrong with recording it?"

"As long as you bring the money to me, isn’t that all that matters?"

Chu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth.

"Don’t worry, if it works, I won’t shortchange you a single penny."

"Brother Ye, let’s go, let’s head home early."

Ye Feng looked at Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Brother Ye, then please arrange for someone to ferry us across the river."

"No problem, let’s go."

Zhang Xiaoshan escorted them to the ferry, and they left on the ferry.

As the two stood on the ferry, watching the increasingly distant and blurrier figure of Zhang Xiaoshan, Chu Xiaoxiao turned to Ye Feng and asked,

"Brother Ye, do you think this Divine Communication Elixir really works?"
