Collecting Rent From All Realms, Even Empresses Must Pay Tribute
Ch. 125 - Getting Rich

"Ye Chuan, someone's looking for you!" A shout from the doorway caught their attention.

Ye Chuan looked up and saw a familiar face.

Wang Yanran.

She was wearing the Silver Mountain Academy uniform, her long, wavy hair framing her face, a sweet smile on her lips.

She had sent Ye Chuan a few messages, and after receiving no reply, she had come to find him personally. After all, her grandfather had said this was important; they had to obtain that miraculous medicine.

"Wang Yanran…" Ye Chuan's eyes lit up, seeing his walking money tree, and he quickly walked over. "Yao—cough, cough… Sister Yanran."

Wang Yanran was taken aback by Ye Chuan's enthusiasm and couldn't help but tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, thinking it was because of her carefully chosen outfit.

"Ye Chuan, is it convenient to talk?" Wang Yanran asked. The classroom was full of students; it wasn't a suitable place for a private conversation.

"Sure."

After exchanging a few words, they left the classroom.

Luo Xi and An Shiyu, watching them leave, exchanged glances.

"Xiaoyu, why is Chuan Chuan so eager? Does he like her?" Luo Xi felt a pang of jealousy, seeing Ye Chuan leave with another girl so readily.

They had been so intimate last night, but now she felt insecure. He had just walked off with another girl.

Could they be… doing something?

The thought made Luo Xi's eyes widen.

"I don't think so. I think you're irreplaceable in his heart," An Shiyu said, seeing Luo Xi's jealousy, a slight smirk on her lips.

"Ah, there's no helping it, a teenage girl in love is just a walking vinegar jar."(TL: "Vinegar jar" (醋坛子, cù tán zi) figuratively refers to a person who is jealous, especially a woman. Another related idiom is "eating vinegar" (吃醋, chī cù))

"I-I'm not jealous!" Luo Xi protested, her face flushing as she buried her head in her arms.

…

"So you're interested in that medicine?"

On a quiet balcony, Ye Chuan wasn't surprised to hear Wang Yanran's request. After all, he had given her the Deer Blood Pill to test its effects, hoping to exchange it for spirit essence.

"Yes, my grandfather is very interested in it. If possible, he would like to exchange spirit essence for it," Wang Yanran nodded. 

Her grandfather had emphasized the importance of this matter, stating that it was crucial for the family's development.

Although she hadn't taken the pill herself, she could tell from her grandfather's serious expression that it wasn't ordinary.

It was highly likely that this medicine could significantly improve the strength of the superpowered warriors in her family.

"Sure, besides spirit essence, you can also pay with money," Ye Chuan said.

He still needed money to refine the Crystallization Pill; who knew how difficult it would be to obtain a First-Grade one.

"Really?" Wang Yanran's eyes lit up, hearing that she could pay with money. 

Their family had plenty of money, but spirit essence was a limited resource, and every superpowered warrior in the Wang family needed it to improve their strength.

Money could be earned every day, but ghosts weren't so easy to come by, and hunting them was also quite troublesome.

"Yes," Ye Chuan nodded.

Considering the Wang family's sincerity, he offered them a very reasonable price.

"Two hundred thousand per pill."

"Two hundred thousand?" Wang Yanran was taken aback, surprised by the price.

"Is there a problem?" Ye Chuan asked, seeing her hesitation.

Although the Deer Blood Pill was just an Ordinary-grade pill for replenishing Qi and blood, it shouldn't exist in this world, and its effects were quite significant, especially the first time it was taken.

"N-no, I just didn't expect it to be so cheap," Wang Yanran said honestly. 

Judging from her grandfather's reaction, this medicine wasn't ordinary, and she hadn't expected it to be so affordable.

Cheap?

Realizing that Wang Yanran was even richer than he had imagined, Ye Chuan coughed lightly. 

"Of course, this price of two hundred thousand per pill is only for the first three, a special friendship price."

"After that, it will be eight hundred thousand per pill, and limited quantity."

"I understand," Wang Yanran readily accepted the price, not finding anything amiss.

Seeing her nonchalant reaction, Ye Chuan wondered…

Would she even accept eight million?

He should ask for more next time.

Every extra bit helped.

Ye Chuan then explained the effects of the Deer Blood Pill. Hearing that taking too many wouldn't be beneficial, Wang Yanran seemed a bit disappointed.

"A few doses will still be effective, don't worry," Ye Chuan explained.

"I see," Wang Yanran was relieved.

"By the way, Ye Chuan, about the Superpowered Warrior Tournament, do you need any information on your opponents? Some of them are quite talented," Wang Yanran said, shifting the topic to the tournament.

Ye Chuan, hearing this, thought, He was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, why would he need information on his opponents?

She clearly didn't understand.

"I've met many geniuses, but they all call me a genius," Ye Chuan said, striking a dramatic pose, his hand behind his back, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

Wang Yanran's heart trembled.

That's right, even a Ghost King was no match for Ye Chuan, how could those pampered young masters from other families be his opponents?

"Ye Chuan, here's eight million, please accept it," Wang Yanran said, handing him a card.

Eight million?

Ye Chuan froze, then reached out instinctively. She added, "It's the deposit for that miraculous medicine."

"Cough, cough, cough," Ye Chuan coughed dramatically. "A d-deposit? Okay."

"How many do you need?" Ye Chuan asked.

"Since you said the first three are two hundred thousand each, and the rest are eight hundred thousand, we need about twenty million worth," Wang Yanran calculated quickly.

"Around twenty-seven pills."

"Twenty million." Ye Chuan's hand trembled slightly, but he hid it well and nodded calmly, putting the eight million yuan card into his pocket.

With so much money, he could max out the app!

"Ahem, actually, I also have a medicine for healing injuries, are you interested?" Ye Chuan continued his sales pitch.

This medicine business was truly profitable.

"Healing injuries?" Wang Yanran wondered if it was for treating illnesses.

"Same rules, you can have one for free, and if it works, you can contact me."

Ye Chuan took out a Rejuvenation Pill from his backpack.
