The Almighty Martial Arts System - Chapter 314

The effect of Heartbreak Powder not only shocked Cui Xiuping, Old Divine Doctor Cui, and the Du family members, but even the two well-informed members of the Qisha Group were utterly astonished.

This Heartbreak Powder was simply terrifying; it was practically killing without a trace. If one wasn’t prepared beforehand, it could basically sweep through anyone! No matter how skilled a master was, faced with this Heartbreak Powder, they probably wouldn’t have any power to resist!

Actually, thinking about it, it wasn’t surprising. In “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,” so many masters of the Central Plains, the numerous elders of the Beggar Sect, and even experts like Duan Yanqing, the leader of the Four Great Evils, were all knocked out by the Heartbreak Powder. How much more so ordinary people in the real world?

“Jiang Fei, was that potion you used just now concocted by yourself?” Old Divine Doctor Cui asked in surprise after being detoxified.

Facing this highly respected elder, Jiang Fei didn’t dare to spout nonsense and nodded, “Well… you could say I concocted it based on an ancient recipe I came across by chance.”

The two Qisha Group members had also been detoxified by now. They paid little attention to Du Ziliang, who was lying half-dead on the ground. Hearing Jiang Fei’s words, their eyes lit up.

The woman walked over to Jiang Fei, reached out her hand to shake his, and said, “Mr. Jiang, hello. I didn’t have time to introduce myself earlier. My name is Qiaoqiao. This is my teammate; you can call him Shouqiang…”

As she spoke, Qiaoqiao pointed to the tall, cold man beside her. Because of what had just happened, although the man remained aloof, he looked at Jiang Fei with even more curiosity and nodded at him again.

“Hello,” Jiang Fei also replied with a smile and a nod.

The name Qiaoqiao sounded somewhat like a real name, but Shouqiang definitely couldn’t be a normal person’s name. These were probably their special code names within the Qisha Group, not their real names.

However, Jiang Fei felt quite favorable towards these two overall. If it weren’t for their domineering and violent entry tonight, no matter how capable or powerful Jiang Fei was, he would have been helpless against Du Ziliang, not daring to kill him. Today, he fully understood the benefits of this organization.

So, regarding these two, Jiang Fei thought it would be better to maintain a good relationship. After all, he might need their help with something in the future.

Jiang Fei now felt that the circles he was moving in were becoming more and more extraordinary.

Not to mention the destined-to-be-unordinary Chinese Medicine Association; he was also entangled with the top assassin organization ‘Tianwang,’ a situation that had become one of life and death. Add to that his inheritance as the leader of the mysterious ‘Tianji Sect,’ guarding the “Tui Bei Tu,” and killing Japan’s number one master of the Niten Ichi-ryū style, Miyamoto Kazuma, etc…

There were actually many matters where Jiang Fei could interact with the Qisha Group. If he could have their help in the future, using them as a backer, then Jiang Fei would truly no longer need to fear any young masters coming to cause trouble for him.

As long as he was in the right, even without evidence, he could act first and report later – that’s just how overbearing it was!

“Mr. Jiang…”

“Just call me Jiang Fei, no need for ‘Mr.’,” Jiang Fei said with a smile.

Qiaoqiao nodded and asked, “I wanted to ask about the formula for the potion you used just now… No, no, do you have any more of that potion left? Or can you produce more of this medicine? This medicine is incredibly powerful and would be very useful for our Qisha Group as well. If we had this medicine as support during missions in the future, it would probably be more effective than any high-tech equipment!”

After being affected by the Heartbreak Powder once, Qiaoqiao clearly understood just how precious and hard-to-come-by this medicine was.

So she immediately changed her tune, not daring to hope for Jiang Fei giving them the formula. They would be satisfied if Jiang Fei could supply them with some of the potion, aiming for each of the Qisha Group members to have a bottle.

With this medicine as support, the danger of their future missions would be greatly reduced.

“Don’t worry, we certainly won’t ask you to provide this medicine for free. You… probably don’t need money,” Qiaoqiao added quickly.

If they could really obtain the Heartbreak Powder this time, this operation would be extremely worthwhile. Capturing Du Ziliang paled in comparison.

But before this operation, they had investigated Jiang Fei thoroughly. They knew he was the owner of the currently booming, unstoppable Jiang Pharmaceutical Company, making a fortune daily. For someone like him, money would eventually become just numbers, holding no attraction.

“Ahem…”

Seeing this, Jiang Fei couldn’t help but cough. Even without Qiaoqiao mentioning it, Jiang Fei couldn’t give them the formula for Heartbreak Powder because he didn’t have it himself.

“This medicine is very difficult to concoct. I only made this one bottle before. It will be quite challenging to make more in the future…” Jiang Fei said.

One bottle of Heartbreak Powder cost Jiang Fei 1100 gold coins, which converted to RMB was 550,000! Recently, Jiang Fei had accumulated quite a few gold coins and had some spare money, which was why he didn’t feel too much pain exchanging for a bottle when rescuing Min Dong’s wife and daughter. If he needed to exchange for too many, he really couldn’t manage it.

Under Lin Molin’s management, Jiang Pharmaceutical Company was now thriving with limitless future development. But so far, as they had just established sales channels and had more markets to develop, their share nationwide wasn’t that large yet.

Jiang Fei estimated that in the last month and a half to two months, the company’s net profit was roughly four million, which converted to eight thousand gold coins.

Eight thousand gold coins could only buy about seven bottles of Heartbreak Powder.

And one bottle of Heartbreak Powder could be used roughly three times before it lost its effect. So, for now, Jiang Fei couldn’t supply the Qisha Group in large quantities.

Of course, this was just the beginning for Jiang Pharmaceutical Company. Once the market was fully developed and channels were established in major cities nationwide, the profits would increase tenfold, even dozens of times. By then, Jiang Fei would have no shortage of gold coins.

“How much do you have left now? You can state any conditions you need. Our Qisha Group can accomplish quite a lot.” In her eagerness to obtain the Heartbreak Powder, Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but let a hint of enticement slip into her tone.

Hearing this, Jiang Fei’s eyes immediately lit up.

“Really, I can state any condition?” Jiang Fei asked.

“As long as it’s within our capabilities,” Qiaoqiao replied.

But her expression became somewhat tense. This person didn’t seem like a bad guy; on the contrary, he seemed quite righteous and principled. He wouldn’t propose something illegal or against morals, would he?

The Qisha Group had significant influence, that was true, but they couldn’t commit murder or arson for the sake of a potion.

“This condition isn’t difficult, and it’s not anything immoral. You can definitely do it,” Jiang Fei said with a smile, his expression harmless.

“Go ahead,” Qiaoqiao felt more assured.

As long as it wasn’t immoral, there really weren’t many things the Qisha Group couldn’t do.

“I…” Jiang Fei opened his mouth, then suddenly seemed a bit shy. After a moment, he said somewhat awkwardly, “Actually, I wanted to ask about that badge you showed Chief Xiao earlier, the one with the character ‘Kill’ engraved on it. It looked quite nice. Can… I have one?”

A simple badge had made the esteemed Chief of the Beijing Police, a deputy-ministerial level official, change his expression, salute respectfully, and not dare to obstruct.

That authority was almost on par with having an elder like Ye Zhennan show up in person!

Jiang Fei had initially thought that being able to rely on the Qisha Group in the future would be good enough. But now that the Qisha Group needed something from him, wouldn’t it be even better if he could get such a badge for himself?

That way, he would become the powerful backer himself!

“You want a badge?!” Not only Qiaoqiao, but even the aloof Shouqiang was dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Fei.

This request isn’t difficult?

Are you kidding us? The Qisha Group’s emblem, do you think it’s like a license plate that can be issued to anyone?

Do you know how many layers of rigorous selection, how many trials of blood and fire one must go through to become a Qisha Group member?

The Qisha Group’s badge could be said to be the hardest badge to obtain in the whole country, bar none!

“This request is not something we can agree to. Moreover, it’s impossible for us to agree,” Qiaoqiao said almost without hesitation.

Jiang Fei rubbed his nose.

As someone with such a thin skin, asking this question had already made him feel very embarrassed. For these two to not give him any face and refuse him outright made him feel even more awkward.

“Don’t mind me, I was just saying it casually. Joking to lighten the mood, I didn’t really want your badge,” Jiang Fei said with a hearty laugh.

But it clearly seemed like a poor attempt to cover up.

“Then… what about this medicine? Can you supply it to us?” Qiaoqiao continued asking.

“This medicine?” Jiang Fei took out the Heartbreak Powder bottle, which had been used twice, from his pocket. Putting on a very magnanimous and generous manner, he said, “You arresting Du Ziliang has helped me out, so how could I have the nerve to ask for any reward? There’s still a little left in this bottle, probably enough for one more use. I’ll give it to you for free!”

Qiaoqiao and Shouqiang were delighted to hear this and took the Heartbreak Powder and the antidote from Jiang Fei.

They hadn’t expected things to take such a turn and go so smoothly. Nor had they expected Jiang Fei to be so reasonable and selfless, truly a model for their generation!

“Thank you!” The two looked at Jiang Fei with grateful and hopeful eyes, eagerly asking, “Besides this bottle, could you provide us with more in the future, Jiang Fei? Just name the medicinal ingredients you need, we will definitely help you find them!”

Not having a stockpile now was fine; they could take their time later, as there was plenty of time.

However, Jiang Fei shook his head seriously, sighing with emotion, “To tell you the truth, this potion actually has no formula. This single bottle was only concocted because my master somehow obtained a rare, miraculous herb of unknown origin. Such a miraculous herb might be the only one in existence; it’s probably impossible to find another in the future. So, this potion can’t be made again…”

“…”

The expressions on Qiaoqiao and Shouqiang’s faces instantly froze, their heads full of black lines.

That’s not what you said earlier, okay? You only said it was quite difficult to concoct, not that it was completely impossible!

Neither of them was a fool, nor did they believe Jiang Fei’s second excuse. They were quite certain that this guy was refusing to give them the potion because they wouldn’t give him the badge.

This guy… was simply too wicked! And the key point was that he could lie with such a straight face, making people grit their teeth in frustration.

Ye Yuanyuan, standing beside Jiang Fei, almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.

She was truly speechless. This guy really didn’t give face to anyone and refused to suffer any loss. Even when facing the legendary Qisha Group, if they wanted to get something from him, they still had to pay a price first!

“My apologies. There’s nothing I can do. This potion has one use left; cherish it well, as there won’t be any more in the future,” Jiang Fei said regretfully.

After speaking, Jiang Fei prepared to bid farewell to Old Divine Doctor Cui and leave the Cui family mansion.

It had been a busy night, and he was long tired. Du Ziliang was successfully captured. Tomorrow would be a clear day after the storm, all dark clouds dispersed.

“Wait a moment!” Watching Jiang Fei and Ye Yuanyuan leave, the two, who were escorting Du Ziliang, caught up.

“Is there something else?” Jiang Fei asked.

“About the badge… I’ll go back and ask for you, see if we can apply for one on your behalf…” Qiaoqiao said, somewhat resentfully, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Fei.

“Really?!” Jiang Fei was visibly overjoyed, almost jumping for happiness. He quickly suppressed his inner excitement, put on a composed nod, and said seriously, “Thank you! Then I’ll also go back and think of a way, see if there’s any chance to concoct this potion again…”

“…”

The corners of Qiaoqiao and Shouqiang’s mouths twitched.

Why did they suddenly have the urge to lose their temper and give this guy a good beating? They had never seen someone so shameless!

Not daring to stay any longer, for fear they might actually do it, they quickly left, escorting Du Ziliang under the extremely complex gazes of the Du family members.

On the way back, Ye Yuanyuan drove while Jiang Fei sat in the passenger seat.

“You really are quite ‘cheeky’! You even dare to take advantage of the Qisha Group like that,” Ye Yuanyuan glanced at Jiang Fei and said.

“What do you mean cheeky? Taking advantage? Didn’t you see I gave them a bottle of Heartbreak Powder for free? That’s generous enough!” Jiang Fei retorted discontentedly.

“Heh…”
