Chapter 52: Ouyang Family Head

Once they reached the inner room, the Ouyang Family Head sat in the main seat and said to Qin Ming:

"Qin Ming, you all take a seat as well."

Qin Ming nodded and sat down with his younger sister.

"Old Master, our Qin Family has prepared a gift for the Ouyang Family this time. Please accept it."

After speaking, Qin Ming took out a jade bottle and handed it to the Ouyang Family Head.

"This is…?" The Ouyang Family Head curiously opened the jade bottle, and a refreshing fragrance wafted out.

From the scent alone, he knew it was a Medicinal Pill, and one that had been recently refined at that.

Sure enough, when he poured out the contents, several qi gathering pills appeared in his hand.

"My master refined these—ten in total! They are all high-grade qi gathering pills."

Qin Ming said calmly.

Qin Ming's voice wasn't loud, but to the Ouyang Family Head, every word of that sentence seemed to resonate deep within his heart.

Refined by his master.

Someone capable of refining high-grade qi gathering pills was truly a remarkable existence.

With an alchemist of this level as his master, Qin Ming was bound to soar.

If Qin Ming soared, it meant the Qin Family would soar as well.

Furthermore, if an alchemist of this level joined the Qin Family, after some time, the Qin Family could directly become one of the Four Great Families of Liu City.

"What do you mean by this?" The Ouyang Family stared at Qin Ming with wide eyes.

Qin Ming giving such a precious gift clearly had an ulterior motive.

Instead of something else, he directly gave Medicinal Pills refined by his master; this was highly significant!

Qin Ming smiled and said:

"What meaning could this Junior have? I simply wish to cooperate with the Ouyang Family."

"Cooperate? Cooperate on what?" the Ouyang Family Head asked.

"On the Medicinal Pill business, of course. Doesn't the Ouyang Family want to unify the entire Medicinal Pill market of Liu City?"

Qin Ming said nonchalantly.

In all of Liu City, the most profitable sector was the Medicinal Pill market, which was controlled by the Three Great Families and the City Lord.

They only left a few scraps for the smaller families below to divide among themselves.

The Ouyang Family Head was stunned by Qin Ming's words; he hadn't expected Qin Ming to say something like that.

To be so ambitious.

The Ouyang Family Head thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped the table and stood up, saying:

"Well played, Qin Ming! Your talk of cooperation is just a facade; your true goal is to swallow the Chen Family.

I didn't expect you to have such guts!"

The Ouyang Family Head had already figured it out; to unify the entire Medicinal Pill market…

…the biggest enemy right now would be the Chen Family. Currently, the road from Liu City to Chenyang City was blocked, and the Chen Family's influence in Liu City was at its peak.

To launch this plan would mean offending the Chen Family to the point of no return.

Thus, there was only one possibility: Qin Ming wanted to make an enemy of the Chen Family.

Now that Qin Ming was giving him Medicinal Pills and sharing the profits, he was clearly trying to pull the Ouyang Family onto the Qin Family's warship.

With such a big move, Qin Ming must have a major demand; thinking it over, only the entire Chen Family would be enough to satisfy his appetite.

"Qin Ming, aren't you afraid the Qin Family will choke from overeating?"

The Ouyang Family Head barked.

Qin Qing was completely bewildered; what on earth was happening?

Why was the Ouyang Family Head—who was rumored to never show emotion—getting so angry and excited?

What exactly did her brother say? Why did she understand every word, but not the meaning when they were put together?

Qin Ming gave a faint smile and said:

"Dying from overeating is better than starving to death. I believe that our Qin Family, together with the Ouyang Family, has a good enough appetite to swallow all of this."

The Ouyang Family Head was not as calm as Qin Ming; he paced back and forth in the hall, clearly weighing the pros and cons.
