Unparalleled Martial Arts

After thinking for a while, Empress Wu sent someone to inform Qin Chu and Zhou Yuanshuo that they had come. After receiving the notice, Zhou Yuanshuo and Qin Chu left on the beast cart.    

"Qin Chu, I think there is an official who told us that the price is high. When you need an explanation, just tell them that the ingredients for the beauty nourishing pill are very valuable. Is there any material that other people do not know about? If there is, just say it is incomparably rare. As for the other pills, I have considered it when I set the price. Although it's too high, it's not to the extent of being prohibited." Zhou Yuanshuo reminded Qin Chu.    

"Let me think... there is indeed a very rare material in the beauty nourishing pill called the common camellia fruit. The common camellia fruit was of little value. It was not needed for ordinary medicinal pills. It could only be used when refining the Detoxification Pill. Its detoxification effect is very strong and the beauty nourishing pill can make female's skin better. One of them is detoxification. This material was collected by me before. I can't buy it now. It's not available on the market. " Qin Chu thought for a moment and said. He was right. There was no such thing on the market, because he had brought the common camellia fruit from the Seven Martial World. Previously, it was the ingredients to refine the Detoxification Pill.    

"That's enough. When they ask about it later, just tell them about this common camellia fruit. Although its grade isn't high, it isn't available on the market. Once it is used up, it will be gone. The rarer something is, the more expensive it is. That makes sense. " Zhou Yuanshuo reminded Qin Chu. He knew Empress Wu would protect Qin Chu. However, he also needed a reason, even if the reason was not to make up for it.    

Zhou Yuanshuo's beast cart stopped at the periphery of the Imperial Palace Hall. The Imperial Palace Hall was the core of the Great Zhou Empire, and no beast cart could approach it.    

After entering the Imperial Palace Hall, Qin Chu could feel a grand atmosphere.    

Looking up, the roof of the hall was a little blurry, and he could only see the sparkling stars that were adorned with gemstones. There were numerous coiling dragon pillars, and even dozens of people couldn't carry them. Walking in the hall seemed extremely tiny.    

When he walked to the end of the hall, Qin Chu saw Empress Wu, who was sitting at the main seat, wearing a golden Mountain River Geographic skirt and a phoenix crown. Below her stood several officials.    

"You black-hearted businessman, you dare to disturb the order of my Great Zhou Empire, you dare to come?" Seeing Qin Chu, an official reached out and pointed at him.    

Being criticized and scolded, Qin Chu's anger rose. He gave Queen a fist salute, "Greetings, Esteemed Empress. Before the Great Zhou Empire Law decrees that you have committed a crime, I am not guilty. In a situation where I am not guilty, if others scold me, can I kill someone? "    

The atmosphere in the hall turned cold because Qin Chu's body was releasing a very strong killing intent. He was really angry. Empress Wu had yet to speak when a stupid bird took advantage of his seniority to scold him.    

"Vice Minister Liu, you should restrain yourself a bit. This is the Imperial Palace Hall. Do you think this is your home? In the Great Zhou Empire, you were provoked for no reason. The murderer is not guilty. You should understand this! Qin Chu, you should also keep your temper down. This is the Imperial Palace Hall." Empress Wu first reprimanded the old official and then stopped Qin Chu. She could tell that Qin Chu was really angry.    

After bowing to Empress Wu, Zhou Yuanshuo stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Chu to the side.    

At this time, a few officials stood together with Qin Chu and Zhou Yuanshuo.    

After a few officials looked at Zhou Yuanshuo, their eyes turned away, seeming a little weak.    

"Qin Chu, you are opening the Pill Pavilion. This is a legitimate business. Our Great Zhou Empire is encouraging. But the business of the Great Zhou Empire needs to be stable. In order to maintain stability, you need to open the Great Zhou Empire. No excessive behavior is allowed. For example, the price is too high. This is our Great Zhou Empire's Right Minister, Lord Li. He is in charge of the Great Zhou Empire's business. There are some things I need to ask you." Empress Wu pointed at the old man standing at the head of the officials.    

The old man bowed to Empress Wu and then looked at Qin Chu. "I have a few questions to ask. First, tell me your opinion. If you have any questions, then the Pill Pavilion must be closed, even if it is a business that you are working with Prince Shuo. If there are no questions, then... Then I will apologize for today's questioning. "    

" Please speak, Lord Li. " Seeing that Lord's attitude was not bad, Qin Chu's attitude eased up a lot.    

"According to the grade of the medicinal pill, normally speaking, a batch of Tier 7 medicinal pills would cost less than five thousand top quality spirit stones. We'll calculate it according to five thousand. A batch of medicinal pills would cost between six to ten. We'll calculate it according to six pills. The cost of a single pill is around one thousand top quality spirit stone. This price is a middle-grade pill. The price of a high-grade pill is doubled to two thousand. If the price of a top-grade pill is tripled, then it will be around six thousand ___. Counting the cost of the shop and the people, it shouldn't be more than 10,000. However, your Peerless Pills Pavilion... Each Tier 7 medicinal pill was priced at ten thousand top quality spirit stone. Let's not talk about this for now. Speaking of beauty nourishing pill, that beauty nourishing pill had even reached 30,000 top quality spirit stone. This isn't excessive, this is too excessive. " Minister Li Youxiang said.    

"Don't try to deny it. We have looked for an alchemist to make a good deal. Only after confirming that the number is correct did we report it to Minister Li Youwei." Vice Minister Liu spoke again.    

"Shut up. This is the place where you can make comments as you wish? Esteemed Empress asked you to speak?" A fierce look appeared in Zhou Yuanshuo's eyes. He could tell that Vice Minister Liu was targeting Qin Chu.    

"If you continue to cause trouble for the Order, drag him out!" Empress Wu frowned. She waved her arm and Golden Armored Guard entered the hall.    

After Vice Minister Liu shut his mouth, Qin Chu first gave Empress Wu a fist salute. Then he looked at Minister Li Youxiang and said, "The Right Minister, Lord, is more accurate. The pill in the Peerless Pills Pavilion. The Right Minister, Lord, is mainly questioning the beauty nourishing pill. Let me tell you about the beauty nourishing pill. The beauty nourishing pill is an ancient pill formula, and it belongs to the Grade Seven Medicinal Pill. However, one of the raw materials was extremely rare, and was not available on the market. In other words, one beauty nourishing pill would mean one less beauty nourishing pill. This meant that the price couldn't be fixed with ordinary Grade Seven Medicinal Pill. The rarer something is, the more expensive it is. This is also in line with the market's rules. "    

"There are no circulating rare materials in the market... The rarer the item is, the more expensive it is. If that is the case, then this official will have no problem." Prime Minister Li Youxiang did not ask any more questions.    

At this time, Vice Minister Liu stood out and gave Empress Wu a fist salute.    

"Vice Minister Liu, you can speak now." Empress Wu looked at Vice Minister Liu unhappily. Even Minister Li Youxiang was fine, and you still want to jump?    

"He can't say that it's rare. Then tomorrow, every Pill Pavilion will say that their ingredients are rare, and my Great Zhou Empire will be in chaos. If you say it's rare, then you have to show proof." Vice Minister Liu looked at Qin Chu.    

"I can prove it, but the pill formula of the beauty nourishing pill is a secret. The material is also a secret. Vice Minister Liu can see it whenever he wants? Then if someone else refines the beauty nourishing pill tomorrow, is it because you, Vice Minister Liu, have seen the ingredients? " Qin Chu began to counterattack.    

"I am an official of the Great Zhou Empire. I am working for the Great Zhou Empire. Check your ingredients. This is within the rules." Vice Minister Liu looked at Qin Chu coldly. He was an official now. Qin Chu was a citizen.
