The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Of course, a gentleman’s word is his bond. I will provide you with as much assistance as I can, you can count on that,” Xiao Shun said with a broad grin.

“Besides teaching our disciples the methods and techniques of cultivation, we also need you to teach us how to refine pellets, is that okay?” Song Qingzhou asked earnestly.

“Absolutely no problem,” Xiao Shun agreed without hesitation.

Song Qingzhou was ecstatic on the inside, a smile he couldn’t contain was on his face. “Mr. Xiao is truly generous.”

“Linger, do we have any wine? Open a bottle, I want to toast your master.”

“My master can’t drink now,” Song Linger immediately declined.

“Ah, I almost forgot,” Song Qingzhou realized. “Well, when you, Mr. Xiao, have recovered, I will share a couple of drinks with you, how does that sound?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Xiao Shun waved his hand, “Mr. Song, don’t get too excited. I can share the technology of refining pellets with you, but do you have the formula? Without the formula, the technique of refining pellets is useless.”

Song Qingzhou’s smile stiffened a bit, “Mr. Xiao, don’t you have the formula? I heard Linger say that she used the formula you gave her, and her cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds.”

“Mr. Song, you don’t expect me to teach you the formula too, do you?” Xiao Shun said, a troubled expression on his face.

“This formula was painstakingly developed by my master over decades. There’s a saying in our cultivation, ‘the Way is not lightly transmitted’. If I pass on the formula that he put so much effort into without his permission, he might annihilate me in his anger. This is too big, I can’t make this decision.”

Xiao Shun’s words were not very subtle, it was clear to anyone who wasn’t a fool that he was declining.

I was counting on the pellets to make money from you. If I give you both the refining technique and the formula, how can I make money? This is a joke, Xiao Shun thought to himself.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingzhou became somewhat anxious and blurted out, “Mr. Xiao, we’re all family here. I won’t beat around the bush. Name your price, whatever you ask, I won’t bargain.”

“Mr. Song, this isn’t about money. Let’s take an example, how much do you think the formula for Coca-Cola is worth? Of course, the formula can’t really be compared with it, as the customer base is not on the same scale, but the principle is the same. Moreover, the ‘patent’ for this formula isn’t mine, I don’t have the right,” Xiao Shun feigned difficulty.

Just as Song Qingzhou was about to speak, he was interrupted by Xiao Shun, “I definitely can’t give you the formula, but I can supply you with the pellets you need, if necessary.”

He cut off Song Qingzhou’s hope directly, not wanting to get entangled with him on this topic any longer.

Seeing Xiao Shun’s firm stance and their inability to find pellets elsewhere, Song Qingzhou pondered for a moment and had to compromise, “Alright, in that case, we’ll have to trouble Mr. Xiao. But there will be many students, can you supply enough?”

“Don’t worry about that, I’ll find a way,” Xiao Shun said with a light laugh.

The most basic auxiliary prescription is the decoction made from medicinal herbs, just like the ones Song Linger started with. As cultivation improves, real pellets are required, and the amount of medicinal herbs required in the future will certainly be enormous. Who to find to refine these pellets is indeed a question worth considering carefully.

“Um… Mr. Song, to refine pellets, it requires a large amount of medicinal herbs and other materials, as well as labor costs, what do you think?” Xiao Shun asked.

Talking about affection hurts money. Although he has a good relationship with the Song family, he can’t pay for these costs himself, especially since his purpose is to make money. Moreover, Song Qingzhou represents the government, so there’s nothing he can’t say.

Song Qingzhou was clearly stunned for a moment. He felt that this kid was saying it wasn’t about money, but in the end, it was actually about money. However, it’s reasonable that Xiao Shun shouldn’t bear these costs.

“You set the price, as long as it’s not outrageous, there should be no problem.”

“Mr. Song, you are straightforward,” Xiao Shun said with a broad grin.

Anyway, there’s no uniform price for these things, and in the end, he gets to decide. Even if the price is a bit outrageous, they may have no choice but to accept it.

“Have youfigured out how to establish your ‘Old School Society’? It’s not a simple task,” Song Qingzhou said with a heavy heart.

“It’s difficult to create something from nothing. The Old School Society reached its current scale after decades of accumulation and has a strict organizational structure. It’s not as simple as hanging up a sign and finding a few people to make up the numbers.”

“That won’t have the desired effect.”

The Feng family agreeing to Xiao Shun’s proposal, they had already considered these aspects.

Establishing a new Old School Society is not easy at this time. Since someone wants to try, they might as well let him struggle. As long as Xiao Shun can help them develop the school, that’s all that matters.

As for the new organization Xiao Shun mentioned, the Feng family didn’t have high expectations.

“I only have a rough idea of how to go about it at the moment. As for how to execute it, honestly, I haven’t thought it through,” Xiao Shun said modestly.

“I believe in you. If you need any help, just ask. Within my powers, I will do everything I can,” said Song Qingzhou.

His words were sincere. No matter what, Xiao Shun had done a great favor to the Song family, and Song Linger was deeply involved with him.

Although Song Qingzhou didn’t approve of this relationship, his daughter was stubborn and seemed to be going down a dead end. As a father, he had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

Xiao Shun nodded and thanked him.

Song Qingzhou stayed for a while longer and then left.

“Master, our formula is really that valuable?”

Song Linger had been moved when she heard Xiao Shun haggling over the formula with Song Qingzhou. Xiao Shun had taught her the valuable formula for refining the pellets that helped her enhance her cultivation. She was now very proficient in refining the pellets for her own use.

Such a valuable formula, Xiao Shun had taught her so easily, how could she not be moved?

“Uh… yes, it’s quite valuable. My master spent a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to figure it out. It’s quite rare.”

With Song Linger’s current level of cultivation, those formulas are actually quite basic. As her cultivation continues to improve, ordinary medicinal herbs will no longer be useful, and she will need rare medicinal herbs.

At Xiao Shun’s stage, pellets made from any medicinal herb have little effect. What he needs are heavenly treasures.

Otherwise, his master wouldn’t need to travel around looking for opportunities.

“You haven’t leaked it to anyone, have you?” Xiao Shun asked suddenly.
