Chapter 1163: Ravenous Wolves
The Management Office had long noticed the thriving business of the Radiant Pill Store and secretly conducted investigations, having a rough idea of the store’s daily earnings.
Such a massive income had already made the people in charge at the Management Office envious for quite some time.
The reason they were keeping their feelings in check was the fear of Jing Yan’s status as a Divine Pill Master. If Jing Yan were a High-level Divine Pill Master, he wouldn’t be easy to offend. Even in the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain, a High-level Divine Pill Master is considered to have an honorable status. Even the Purple Spirit Commerce would try to win them over instead of offending them easily.
Another important reason is that there was a prior agreement between the parties when the Radiant Pill Store leased the shop for a month. Before the lease period ends, they have no reason to suddenly raise the shop’s lease price.
Though they are officials of the Void Divine Ship, in front of so many martial artists on the ship, they still need to maintain some decorum. At least the surface rules need to be observed and upheld. They can’t just forcibly seize resources from someone. If such things were to happen, who would dare to ride the Purple Spirit Commerce’s Void Divine Ship in the future?
The high-levels of Purple Spirit Commerce wouldn’t be pleased to see plundering happening on their Void Divine Ship.
"Hmm, if this person were a High-level Divine Pill Master, he wouldn’t quietly and submissively accept our price hike." The black-clothed old man nodded.
If it were just an Intermediate Divine Pill Master, dealing with him would be much easier.
"Keep an eye on them! Earning Divine Crystals on the Void Divine Ship is acceptable, but raking in such huge amounts and trying to have the feast alone, that naturally won’t do." The black-clothed old man’s eyes glinted sharply.
Clearly, the lease fee of just over ten million Divine Crystals didn’t satisfy his appetite.
"Yes! Understood, my lord!" The manager responded and then turned to leave the room.
