From the Task Jade Plate's perspective, Zhao Qingzhi was now in a classical tea house private room.
Beside Zhao Qingzhi was his eldest son, Zhao Wuji.
"Father, you want me to meet the Yao Family head? Why don't you meet him yourself?"
In the private room, Zhao Wuji looked at Zhao Qingzhi with confusion after hearing the instruction.
"I need to observe whether Yao Lai possesses Spiritual Aptitude and qualifies for recommendation to Kunlun."
"If he does, I will meet him. In my current state, I can convince him of everything."
"But if he lacks Spiritual Aptitude, he doesn't deserve a meeting. Then you will spend thirty percent of Zhao Family's assets to buy the life-extending divine medicine from his Yao Family."
Zhao Qingzhi said calmly to Zhao Wuji.
"I understand."
Zhao Wuji nodded in agreement.
While Zhao Qingzhi and Zhao Wuji talked, knocking sounded at the door.
After Zhao Qingzhi responded, Zhao Xuankun entered.
"Father, elder brother, the Yao Family people have arrived."
After entering, Zhao Xuankun immediately said to Zhao Qingzhi and Zhao Wuji.
"Wuji, you and Xuankun go to the next room to meet them."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingzhi immediately said.
"Yes."
Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuankun nodded and left Zhao Qingzhi's room.
After they left, Zhao Qingzhi came to a ventilation opening specially treated to allow him to see everything in the opposite room.
A few minutes later, Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuankun led several people into the room Zhao Qingzhi was observing through the vent.
Leading them was an elderly man with silver hair.
Two burly men, likely bodyguards, followed the elder.
There was also a beautiful woman in her twenties with a very gentle and unique aura.
"So this is the woman Wuji contacted who is selling the Yao Family's divine medicine? Her temperament resembles Yao Lai's. No doubt she is Yao Lai's direct descendant."
Zhao Qingzhi thought silently while observing the elder and woman enter.
"Intermediate constitution, Water Spirit Body?"
The moment Ye Yang saw the woman through the Task Token perspective, he recognized her as possessing the Special Constitution Water Spirit Body.
"In the Heavenly Yin-Yang Record, besides being a lower rank, the Water Spirit Body is considered comparable to the top-tier Heavenly Charm Body among desirable constitutions."
"The Water Spirit Body is as soft as water, and uniquely, after a joyful event, it can turn a soft bed into a water bed."
Ye Yang thought of the Water Spirit Body description.
...
"Where is your old master? He took my Yao Family's divine medicine; he should be healthy enough to meet me personally."
"You Zhao Family invited me here claiming it's important. My granddaughter Yao Zi'er is just a junior; she has no authority to decide. Why, now that I'm here, is Zhao Qingzhi not meeting me personally and sending you two juniors instead?"
After entering the room and seeing no Zhao Qingzhi, Yao Lai's expression darkened as he coldly looked at Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuankun.
"Old master Yao, he wants to meet you but was delayed by urgent matters. He should arrive later."
Zhao Wuji quickly explained.
"Urgent matters? Busy splitting your Zhao Family's assets to prevent Yao Family's share from affecting your Zhao Family?"
Hearing Zhao Wuji, Yao Lai sat down and asked calmly.
"What do you mean, old master Yao?"
Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuankun looked at Yao Lai in confusion.
"If your old master didn't suspect Yao Family maliciously like you do, that would be good."
"Unfortunately, your old master has been scheming his whole life and assumes the worst of everything."
"To him, selling the Yao Family's divine medicine to you Zhao Family is because you are the most suitable buyer."
"No one else buys it; only a family like yours, relying on one person to be equivalent to a top Aristocratic Family, can sell the medicine."
"Moreover, he probably thinks deeper: your Zhao Family's thirty percent wealth is closely linked to the whole family. Once we get that share and his medicine's effect ends, Yao Family might act against and even swallow your Zhao Family."
"But actually, your old master overthinks."
"Selling the medicine to you Zhao Family is because you are the best fit, not because others don't want it."
"The real reason is your Zhao Family rose too fast, has too few traditions, and too little experience."
"All top Aristocratic Families with over 500 years of heritage know of the secret of divine medicine and consciously search for it."
"Others like Yao Family have searched and possess some. If they had someone powerful needing life extension, they already have the medicine and wouldn't buy from others."
"Our only advantage is a longer heritage and slightly more collected divine medicine."
Yao Lai paused and looked at the very strange expressions on Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuankun's faces.
"Curious why I revealed the secret of divine medicine to your Zhao Family?"
Yao Lai smiled at Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuankun and asked.
"Very curious, old master Yao. More families knowing the secret means more competition for divine medicine. Isn't that making more enemies for you?"
Zhao Wuji honestly nodded.
"If only Yao Family knew the secret, we wouldn't tell anyone."
"But now, almost every Aristocratic Family and even some long-standing gentry families know the secret. What difference would one more family make?"
"Also, telling your Zhao Family helps ease your old master's worries, letting him know Yao Family only sells medicine and doesn't covet your family's legacy."
"If he still doubts, we can sign a contract stating your Zhao Family's thirty percent wealth is shared, with Yao Family taking only profit shares and no management. Your Zhao Family retains management of all assets."
Yao Lai said gravely to Zhao Wuji.
