chapter 28 The choice brought by Nick Jiang

The Li Family has been practicing medicine for generations and is the oldest, most mysterious, and most powerful medical lineage in the Long Country. In ancient times, the Li Family only practiced medicine to save people's lives. Today, they also control the largest pharmaceutical group in the Longteng Medicine Company, the largest pharmaceutical group in the Long Country. This all started several decades ago when martial arts began to flourish globally. Because martial artists require a lot of drugs to practice martial arts, including genetic drugs to improve genes and stimulate the human body's potential, Qi and Blood Pills to assist martial arts training, healing drugs to heal injuries, and so on. Among them, genetic drugs are rare due to special reasons. They can only be obtained by powerful forces, and they are only supplied to martial arts geniuses. Compared with genetic drugs, it's somewhat easier to purchase Qi and Blood Pills, but they are not affordable for ordinary people. Twenty or thirty years ago, a good Qi and Blood Pill cost millions, and could only be purchased through special channels. Nowadays, with the flourishing of martial arts and an increase in the number of martial artists, as well as advancements in pharmaceutical technology, Qi and Blood Pills have become more popular, but they still cost tens of thousands per dose. This is why Longteng Medicine Company has become the largest pharmaceutical group in Long Country - it almost monopolizes the drugs needed by warriors in Long Country! Unlike the Su Group, the headquarters of Longteng Medicine Company is separate from the industrial park, located in the most prosperous area of Donghai City, in a towering skyscraper. At three in the afternoon, Nick Jiang arrived at the headquarters of Longteng Medicine Company and met the leader of Longteng Medicine Company, Edison Li. "Hello, Master Nick." Edison Li personally greeted Nick Jiang, shaking hands warmly and showing no arrogance. Instead, he was very welcoming. On one hand, although Nick Jiang was young and dressed casually, he remained calm and composed when standing at the top of Longteng Medicine Company's headquarters, in front of Edison Li. This made Edison Li realize that Nick Jiang was not ordinary. More importantly, Nick Jiang was recommended by the Qin family - Bill Qin's father, Egbert Lin, personally called Edison Li! Egbert Lin also served in the Eastern Theater Command of the Ministry of Armed Forces. He was a general responsible for the management of the Donghai area. He was also the future successor of the Qin family! Although Edison Li was a prominent business tycoon in the Long Country pharmaceutical industry and earned astronomical amounts of wealth for the Li Family every year, his status in the Li Family was not high. Because, in the Li Family, those who received the medical heritage were the core descendants! In other words, within the Li Family, many people can serve as the chairman of Longteng Medicine Company, but not many people can perfectly inherit the ancestral medicine of the Li Family. In such a situation, Edison Li's social status and identity couldn't compared to Egbert Lin’s. "Hello, Mr. Li, sorry to bother you." Nick Jiang shook Edison Li's hand and replied politely. "Master Nick, you were recommended by General Egbert Lin. You are an honored guest. How can you say it's a bother?" Edison Li said, making a welcoming gesture, "Please, have a seat. Would you like tea, coffee, or a beverage?" "Mr. Li, there's no need to trouble yourself." Nick Jiang shook his head, and then directly explained the purpose of his visit, "I came to talk to you about a collaboration with Longteng Medicine Company and even the Li Family." "Collaboration?" Edison Li was taken aback. He learned from Egbert Lin that Nick Jiang was a martial arts genius, and assumed he had come to purchase genetic medicine or to seek treatment for hidden injuries through Li family's connections. Many martial artists had hidden injuries that, if left untreated, would severely affect their combat abilities and martial arts progress. "Yes, Mr. Li." Nick Jiang nodded. "Master Nick, may I ask what kind of collaboration you have in mind with Longteng Medicine Company?" Edison Li asked with some confusion. Nick Jiang didn't rush to answer. Instead, he took out a small white bottle, opened it, and poured out a pill onto his palm. The pill was black-red, translucent, and emitted a strong medicinal fragrance. "The quality of this Qi and Blood Pill is excellent." Edison Li's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he couldn't help but praise. Although he did not inherit the medical heritage of the Li Family, he was knowledgeable about martial artists' drugs due to leading Longteng Medicine Company. With just one glance, he could tell that Nick Jiang held a Qi and Blood Pill in his hand, and it was of excellent quality. "Yes, Mr. Li, the quality of this Qi and Blood Pill is not inferior to the top quality Qi and Blood Pill produced by Longteng Medicine Company." Nick Jiang spoke slowly, his expression was calm and his words were confident. After Master Tianlong accepted Nick Jiang as his disciple, he did not provide Nick Jiang with genetic drugs like other martial arts forces cultivated martial arts geniuses. He even strictly prohibited Nick Jiang from taking genetic drugs! "Taking genetic drugs to forcefully stimulate a warrior's potential is counterproductive. The road to martial arts will become more difficult as the journey progresses, and the ceiling of martial arts achievements will be lowered." These are the original words of Master Tianlong. However, apart from genetic medicines, Master Tianlong provided Nick Jiang with all other drug resources, including the Qi and Blood Pills in his hands. During the four years that Nick Jiang practiced martial arts at Longhu Mountain, he ate Qi and Blood Pills like beans every day. The medicated bath he took after practicing martial arts also contained Qi and Blood Pills. Four years ago, after Nick Jiang left Longhu Mountain and founded the Zhanlong Palace, he realized just how terrifying the amount of drug resources he had consumed during those four years was. Even the top disciples of the most prestigious martial arts sects could not have afforded such luxury! In addition, Nick Jiang had seen Qi and Blood Pills produced by Longteng Medicine Company and other countries. In terms of quality, they cannot be compared with the Qi and Blood Pills in his hands! "Oh?" When Edison Li heard this, his pupils suddenly dilated, with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face. He was not unfamiliar with the martial arts world, and he even knew that every martial arts sect could refine Qi and Blood Pill, but the quality and efficacy were not as good as the top-grade Qi and Blood Pills produced by Longteng Medicine Company. The Qi and Blood Pills produced by Longteng Medicine Company were divided into four types: low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. Among them, the medicinal herbs used for the top-grade Qi and Blood Pill were extremely expensive, with each pill costing more than 100,000 dollars, and were supplied only to the Armed Forces and top-level martial arts sects in the Long Country. "Mr. Li, you can have the most authoritative pharmacist evaluate the Qi and Blood Pill in my hand." Nick Jiang could sense Edison Li's doubt and understood it. After all, the Li Family was the oldest and most powerful medical lineage in the Long Country, and Longteng Medicine Company had almost a monopoly on the drugs used by the warriors of the Long Country! In such a situation, someone suddenly took out a Qi and Blood Pill and said that the quality was no better than the top-grade Qi and Blood Pill produced by Longteng Medicine Company. How could Edison Li not be suspicious? "Master Nick, are you going to cooperate with Longteng Medicine Company to produce and sell your Qi and Blood Pills?" Hearing Nick Jiang's words in his ears and feeling Nick Jiang's confidence from the inside out, Edison Li temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked slightly uneasily. Yes. At this moment, he couldn't hide his inner uneasiness! "Mr. Li, in addition to ensuring the quality of this Qi and Blood Pill, I would like to add one more thing." Nick Jiang could sense Edison Li's unconcealed uneasiness, and didn't answer the question, "Its cost is less than one-tenth of the cost of your company's top-grade Qi and Blood Pill." "Well…" Edison Li froze on the spot for a moment, his heart filled with two completely different emotions - panic and excitement. Because, his reason told him, Nick Jiang's arrival put Longteng Medicine Company at a crossroads. Heaven on the left, hell on the right! …………
