"Ten thousand year divine medicine?"
Mu Yuan laughed in extreme anger. "That guy really has the nerve to ask. Does he think ten thousand year divine medicine is a common cabbage? Go tell them the tribe has no ten thousand year divine medicine."
"No, no, no!"
"We can't say that!"
"Just tell him we will try our best to find it. Use this method to delay him."
The Beili Tribe did have ten thousand year divine medicine.
However, the quantity was not large.
They were usually reluctant to take it themselves.
Let alone give it to Chen Nan.
Therefore, he intended to use the excuse of diligently searching to stall Chen Nan.
As long as Mu Yang could return, this matter would be over!
"Son, you've grown up!" Mu Ningfeng showed a gratified smile. "Your suggestion just now was good, but not rigorous enough."
"Our Beili Tribe is the most powerful among the four major tribes of the Second Heaven."
"If you say there's no ten thousand year divine medicine, who would believe that?"
"Do you believe it?"
Mu Yuan chuckled sheepishly and then asked seriously, "Then what should we do? Do we really have to prepare some divine medicines for Chen Nan?"
Mu Ningfeng: "Since Chen Nan needs divine medicine, give him a few. We must obey his every word. Only then can he trust us."
"Have you considered that if we tell him the tribe has no divine medicine, he will definitely be suspicious!"
"He might even think we don't respect him."
"What if he leaves? How can we then use him to our advantage?"
"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb."
"You must understand this principle!"
Mu Yuan said, "This son understands!"
"I will go to the pharmacy to get the medicine now."
------
After fetching the medicine from the pharmacy, Mu Yuan arrived outside Chen Nan's room and respectfully said, "Senior Chen, I've come to deliver the medicine for you!"
"Come in!"
"Creak!"
Mu Yuan pushed the door open, placed the jade box he was carrying on the table, and said to Chen Nan, "Senior Chen, our Beili Tribe's medicinal resources are limited. We only have these three ten thousand year divine medicines. I hope you won't mind."
"Roar!" The nine-headed flame lion, which had been lying on the ground listlessly, let out a low growl and then stood up angrily. Its pair of cold eyes showed no emotion.
Seeing the vertical pupils of the nine-headed flame lion,
Mu Yuan felt a shiver run down his spine, involuntarily wanting to prostrate himself.
His body trembled uncontrollably.
Chen Nan closed his eyes to rest, but his voice, filled with authority, said, "Don't be rude!"
The nine-headed flame lion's eyes were filled with humiliation, and crystal tears flickered in its eyes. "Master, it's not that I'm rude, it's that they've bullied us too much!"
Mu Yuan quickly said, "Senior Chen, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! You are the most respected guest of our Beili Tribe. How could we dare to bully you?"
"Shut up!" The nine-headed flame lion bared its teeth, exuding an overwhelming aura of ferocity. "Among the four major tribes of the Second Heaven, only the Beili Tribe is the wealthiest."
"Yet now you say your tribe only has these three ten thousand year divine medicines?"
"Do you think we'll believe your nonsense?"
"You don't take my master seriously at all."
"You don't even show basic respect."
"This Beili Tribe isn't worth staying in!"
Mu Yuan was consumed by anxiety.
Damn it.
Why is this lion so troublesome?
Chen Nan let out a sigh.
It seemed to carry helplessness.
And a hint of disappointment.
Mu Yuan's heart trembled.
Would they really consider leaving the Beili Tribe?
Without further thought, he quickly said, "Senior Chen, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to look down on you. I didn't say we'd only offer you three ten thousand year divine medicines..."
"Then what do you mean?" The nine-headed flame lion's eyes narrowed with a chilling glint, pressing him aggressively.
"I... I..." Mu Yuan was about to cry.
He did indeed look down on Chen Nan.
He wanted to placate Chen Nan with these three divine medicines.
However.
Could he say such a thing?
Once he said it, their plan would be very difficult to succeed.
Just as he was at a loss,
Chen Nan's voice rang out, "Young Master Mu certainly didn't mean that. If I'm not mistaken, he intended to say that we would be prepared three divine medicines for every meal, three times a day!"
Saying this, he opened his eyes and looked at the dumbfounded Mu Yuan with a smile. "Does Young Master Mu mean this?"
"Young Master Mu actually meant this?" The nine-headed flame lion's eyes were filled with disbelief, and then it said, "I judged you with the heart of a villain. Please forgive me for my misunderstanding of you earlier."
"I knew it!"
"The esteemed Beili Tribe wouldn't be so stingy as to only have three divine medicines."
"It's one thing to be stingy with others."
"But you, Master, are Mu Yang's savior."
"They wouldn't do something so ungrateful."
Xuan Qingniao, who was meditating cross-legged on the bed, felt her blood surge.
She almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chen Nan and the nine-headed flame lion were truly kindred spirits, up to no good.
The two of them, singing in harmony, had completely cornered Mu Yuan.
This time.
The Beili Tribe was likely to suffer a great loss.
They would be squeezed dry by these two!
The nine-headed flame lion approached Mu Yuan, its ferocious eyes filled with concern. "Hmm, Young Master Mu, why are you crying?"
"You understand me... You understand me, Senior Chen!" Mu Yuan's face was streaked with tears.
At this moment, he had the urge to curse them.
Damn it!
Three divine medicines for every meal, three times a day.
How dare you ask for such a thing.
If it weren't for the fact that you still have value to exploit, do you think I would turn on you?
However, as things stood.
To placate Chen Nan.
He could only be forced to agree to his proposed terms.
Just thinking about the medicinal materials that the Beili Tribe members were reluctant to use being consumed by these people.
His heart ached.
"Alright, alright, you may go now!"
"Remember the agreement just now, and send the divine medicines on time!" The nine-headed flame lion directly issued the order to leave.
"Then this junior will not disturb your cultivation!" Mu Yuan bowed and retreated.
After he left.
The nine-headed flame lion instantly set up a small domain space to prevent others from eavesdropping on their conversation, then said to Chen Nan, "Master, to be honest, I deeply admire your strength!"
"But strength is something that can be achieved with effort and opportunity."
"Do you know what I admire you most for?"
"You are truly a master at ripping people off!"
"Wicked!"
"Truly wicked!"
"But I want to learn!"
------
"Father!"
"Wicked!"
"Too wicked!"
Mu Yuan, crying, came to Mu Ningfeng's room and recounted what had happened when he delivered medicine to Chen Nan.
Mu Ningfeng also looked furious after hearing it, not expecting Chen Nan and his companions to be so aggressive.
Taking a deep breath, he asked, "How many days will the divine medicines in the pharmacy last them?"
Mu Yuan looked utterly dejected. "Ten days!"
A cold glint flashed in Mu Ningfeng's eyes. "We must find a way to lure out your uncle as soon as possible. We cannot let Chen Nan and his group consume all the divine medicines our clan has treasured!"
