Jiang Xiaobai took a slight look upward at the young man before him. Despite his youthful appearance, about in his twenties, he had a distinct maturity about him that gave off the impression that he was the one truly in charge of the Golden Pavilion.

This caused Jiang Xiaobai to rethink his earlier assumptions, seeming that a conversation with this gentleman might indeed be worthwhile.

“Apologies for keeping you waiting, this is our Qian family's eldest son, Qian Mu,” Qian Dabao announced respectfully.

Jiang Xiaobai simply nodded without uttering a word, placing more than fifty Bottled Clarity Pills on the table that he had casually crafted in the past few days.

Upon seeing so many Bottled Clarity Pills being produced at once, Qian Mu's eyes nearly bulged out of his face. However, this was only for a fleeting moment, as he quickly regained his composure.

“Your reputation is well-deserved, Mr. Iron Face!” Qian Mu complimented, not insincerely.

Jiang Xiaobai responded with a simple nod: “Before we discuss why you're seeking me out, I have a sudden additional requirement. I wonder if your

Golden Pavilion would be willing to accept.”

“What is your condition, Iron Face? Please, speak freely.” Qian Mu responded.

“Does your Golden Pavilion have contact with the Gu Clan?” Jiang Xiaobai asked indifferently.

Taken aback, Qian Mu shared a quick glance with Qian Dabao before answering, “Yes, we have previously sold several Bottled Clarity Pills to the Gu Clan. May I ask why you inquire…”

“From now on, regardless of what cooperation you have with the Golden Pavilion, my Bottled Clarity Pills must not be sold to them. Do you understand?” Jiang Xiaobai stated plainly.

He hadn't forgotten how arrogantly GuBei flaunted the Bottled Clarity Pills that day. He refused to overlook such behavior.

Besides, apart from Dragon Valley, he was the only one capable of crafting the Bottled Clarity Pills. He didn't believe that Dragon Valley would supply the Gu Clan once he severed their supply.

As far as Jiang Xiaobai knew, there were only a few individuals in Dragon Valley who were aware of his ability to create Bottled Clarity Pills, all of whom belonged to Ao Yuanwu's faction.

Those fickle, stubborn old-timers had no clue.

He could predict that Ao Yuanwu wouldn't disclose this matter to them, hence Jiang Xiaobai was convinced that the Gu Clan would find it challenging to obtain the Bottled Clarity Pills henceforth.

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's new condition, Qian Mu was taken aback for a moment.

“May I ask why, Iron Face?” he asked.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly, “Just consider it a private grudge between me and the Gu Clan. If the Golden Pavilion fears the Gu Clan and doesn't wish to comply, it's fine. I'll simply find another partner.”

At this, Qian Mu grew anxious.

No joke, the Golden Pavilion had reaped numerous benefits from the Bottled Clarity Pills – how could he not be aware?

If Jiang Xiaobai suddenly terminated their cooperation, the Golden Pavilion would suffer massive losses. Given their previous conflicts with other powers due to Bottled Clarity Pills, their future wouldn't be promising.

But that was the Gu Clan, one of the dominant powers in the Eastern Region. The news of the Gu Clan's recent clash with Dragon Valley was still spreading wildly throughout Tianyuan City.

Their strength was evident from the fact that they could go toe-to-toe with Dragon Valley on its own turf.

If the Golden Pavilion complied with Jiang's demand, their relationship with the Gu Clan would likely worsen significantly, potentially leading to a major crisis.

Caught in a quandary, Qian Mu hesitated. He'd come to foster a closer relationship with Jiang, but before he'd even spoken, Jiang had dropped this bombshell.

“What have you decided?” A moment later, Jiang Xiaobai asked indifferently.

“Well…

Qian Mu furrowed his brows, unable to come up with an immediate response.

As he weighed the pros and cons, he knew that agreeing to Jiang Xiaobai would offend the Gu Clan. However, currently, the Golden Pavilion was the only one selling Bottled Clarity Pills.

Other powers would want to keep the Bottled Clarity Pills for themselves, let alone share them with the Gu Clan. Therefore, despite displeasing the Gu Clan, the Golden Pavilion could minimize the impact by closely collaborating with other powers. And Qian Mu was confident that, disgruntled or not, the Gu Clan wouldn't dare act recklessly against the numerous-needed Bottled Clarity Pills.

With this in mind, Qian Mu made a tough decision: “Fine, since the Gu Clan is your enemy, Iron Face, they're also the enemy of the Golden Pavilion. From now on, the Golden Pavilion will terminate our cooperation with the Gu Clan!”

Pleased with Qian Mu's response, Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said.

“Now, what is it you wanted to discuss with me?”

Qian Mu honestly shared his intentions – to establish a good rapport with Jiang Xiaobai and to probe him for any hidden intentions.

Jiang Xiaobai showed no concern for the former, as for the later…

“To be honest, I need the Golden Pavilion, as simple as that,” Jiang Xiaobai stated neutrally.

“Need?”

Upon registering Jiang Xiaobai's implications, Qian Mu's face darkened instantly. He realized Jiang Xiaobai planned to cultivate the Golden Pavilion and make it his own.

Qian Mu was more than happy to comply!

After all, Jiang Xiaobai was the only known person capable of crafting Bottled Clarity Pills, and his ability to produce so many was evidence of his alchemy skills.

The Golden Pavilion was considered a second-rate commercial force in the Eastern Region. To rise, it must seize this opportunity at all cost.

Observing Qian Mu's changing expressions, Jiang Xiaobai was quite satisfied.

“Oh right, I heard there was a battle between the Gu Clan and Dragon Valley a few days ago?” Jiang Xiaobai suddenly asked, “I wasn't around at the time, do you know the details?”

Qian Mu nodded and shared what he knew, which didn't differ much from the circulating rumors.

“At present, because some mortal utterly enraged the Gu Clan, they have issued an empire-wide warrant for his arrest,” Qian Mu added, sighing afterward, “It's hard to predict the workings of the world. A poor mortal being wrapped up in such a whirlwind, I'm afraid the odds are not in his favour.'

Regarding Qian Mu's assessment, Jiang Xiaobai was rather indifferent, knowing he was the 'poor mortal' in question.

While he found the situation somewhat troublesome, for now, Jiang Xiaobai was confident he could handle it.

“And then what happened? Surely the great battle between the Gu Clan and Dragon Valley couldn't have been so easily concluded?” Jiang Xiaobai asked curiously.

“Well, Iron Face, things got rather strange from this point onwards. First, the

Gu Clan publicly declared it was all a misunderstanding and compensated Dragon Valley with many treasures and resources, including a vein of top-quality spirit stones worth more than a billion!”

Qian Mu continued, “Following this, Dragon Valley stated that their Princess was on the verge of a breakthrough, and thus, had retreated to Jade Ling

Palace. They outright rejected any notion of a marriage alliance with the Gu Clan!”

“Not only that, but Jade Ling Palace also announced that the marriage treaty between the Gu Clan and Dragon Valley is null!”

“However, there's been no word from the Gu Clan until now, but I'd wager they won't easily let it slide.”

Jade Ling Palace becoming Dragon Valley's sponsor had now become common knowledge.

All powers and masters were discussing this matter..
