"The medicine at the auction? It was developed and funded by me." Wu Heng replied.

"Anything else? I can buy it at the auction price." Virgil said in a serious voice.

Wu Heng glanced at the other person and shook his head. "This medicine is very difficult to make. We spent half a year preparing and only managed to produce five bottles."

"Not a single bottle left?"

"There is not even a bottle left. The previous ones have been used, and the rest have been put up for auction." Wu Heng said in a firm tone.

"I can't stay in Treasure Island, you see..., next time there's a chance..." Virgil stretched out his tone.

Wu Heng pondered for a moment and said, "I only organized and funded the research and development. There are other people inside. All I can do is get the news, write you a letter in advance, and make preparations."

Virgil hesitated to speak. No matter whether what the other party said was true or false, now that things had come to this, he would definitely not be able to get the potion.

As for using your status to pressure others.

With the attention this kid is getting now, I may not be able to suppress him.

If the matter gets out of hand, it will just be like what happened to Master Luan and his apprentice, and it will be very embarrassing.

Moreover, what he said made some sense. It was impossible for him to develop this medicine.

Or he has skeletons who know alchemy under his command. This is the most perverted thing about the Necromancer.

The second point is that what he said is true. He cannot make full decisions on the medicine developed in collaboration with others.

If the method doesn't work, that's fine.

"Notify me before the next auction."

Wu Heng nodded, "Okay."

That’s all about the medicine.

Virgil took a sip from the teacup and continued, "I came here mainly because the leader of the Hongwen Society, Claudio, was quite impressed with the pens and watches sold at Treasure Island, so he asked me to come and purchase some. Shouldn't this be a problem for the Island Master Wuheng?"

Now that the title of leader of Hongwen Society has been mentioned, it would be difficult for Wu Heng to refuse.

The other party mentioned the medicine first, I'm afraid he had already thought of an excuse before coming.

It's not easy for me to refuse the other party twice. I have no chance of getting the medicine, but the pen and watch have been on sale for such a long time, it's impossible that I can't get them!

Moreover, he himself joined the Hongwen Society and became one of its members.

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Minnie beside him, and said, "Minnie, go to the factory and ask how many pens and watches they can produce. I need an exact number."

"Yes, Master."

Minnie nodded and left quickly.

Wu Heng looked across again, "Please wait a moment until I get back from asking questions."

Virgil nodded, "No rush."

While waiting.

Wu Heng also took this opportunity to say, "Can you please report to Hong Wenhui that he is leaning towards this side in terms of career scrolls?"

Within the association, professional scrolls are engraved by scholars from the Hongwen Association and then distributed to resident associations in various places.

For some reason, the number of scrolls on Treasure Island has never been very large.

This is a good opportunity to bring it up.

Virgil said: "This matter is easy to handle. I will coordinate with the association after I return and make some adjustments."

"Also, can we hold some courses on Treasure Island, such as literacy, alchemy, or mechanics? Originally, there are pirates here, and their cultural level is not high. It would be better to have some courses to improve their education." Wu Heng said again.

"I can tell the higher-ups that given the current security and development of Treasure Island, there shouldn't be any problem." Virgil agreed readily.

This level of straightforwardness was so overwhelming that Wu Heng couldn't react.

He smiled and thanked her, "Thank you so much, Mr. Virgil."

"They are just normal arrangements, no trouble at all." Virgil was still polite.

The two chatted for a while, and Minnie hurried back from outside.

He whispered a few words in Wu Heng's ear, then stepped aside again.

Wu Heng said, "I can give Hongwenhui 500 pens and 20 watches, but I need you to promise not to tell anyone. These are from orders from other chambers of commerce. If the news gets out, it will affect my reputation."

Virgil nodded. "That's no problem. I'll bring it back to the association after I get it. It won't affect Treasure Island."

"That's good." Wu Heng turned his head and glanced to the side.

Minnie stepped forward again and took out the fully packaged pen and watch from the space ring.

Wu Heng smiled and said, "Mr. Virgil, check it out."

Virgil nodded and took out the corresponding gold coins from his space ring.

Both sides began to inspect the goods and count the coins.

After confirming that there were no problems, they were all put away.

Virgil stood up and said, "I won't bother the island owner anymore. I also need to go back as soon as possible."

Wu Heng also stood up and said, "I'll write to you in advance when there's news about the medicine."

"it is good."

The two walked out together, and Virgil casually said, "Recently, Hongwen will be excavating an ancient site. It won't be long before some ancient stone tablets will be distributed."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Any explanation?"

"There's nothing special about it. If you can decipher some of it, it will be considered a merit. If you can't decipher it, it doesn't matter. Just consider it as gaining some knowledge. This kind of thing is very difficult to decipher." Virgil said with a smile.

"I understand." Wu Heng nodded.

Send the other person out the door and wave goodbye.

Virgil got in the carriage and left.

Wu Heng also returned to the house, asked the maids to send the money back, and returned to the study.

……

dusk.

Shannella came back from outside.

With a wave of his hand, a wooden box fell on the carpet. The lid opened, revealing golden coins.

"The gold coins from the auction also include some mortgaged items, property deeds, and ship orders. Don't lose them. Maybe someone will come back to redeem them later."

Wu Heng made a lot of money from this transaction.

Five bottles of first-level corpse core potion were sold at a sky-high price.

Wu Heng stepped forward, picked up Sannella, and spun her around, "It's great to have you."

Shannara exclaimed, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the maids looking over there, her face turning red.

"Stop it, everyone is watching us." Shannara hit him lightly.

Wu Heng smiled, put her down, and said, "I'll leave this money with you. When you have something to plan, just use it directly."

Shannella sat down at the side and said, "Let's keep it with you. It's not good to keep too much money with me. It will be considered as Star Flower's asset and it will take a lot of trouble."

"That's fine." Wu Heng continued to ask: "When will the next auction be held?"

Shannella thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look at the feedback first. The longer it takes, the more valuable the potion will be and the more stable the price will be. During this time, you can research some new products to keep Treasure Island popular."

This exhibition and auction made Shannara interested in doing business again.

Treasure Island is different from Flower of Stars.

Star Flower is a chamber of commerce supported by one race, with vast land and rich resources.

But the goods sold are similar to those of other chambers of commerce.

The means of competition are quantity and price.

Treasure Island is different. The three items sold are all revolutionary products, unique and very practical.

The profits from Treasure Island in the past few days are equal to what the big chambers of commerce earn in a year.

Unless Wu Heng dies, Treasure Island will become the center of commerce.

Your business status will also improve.

Wu Heng scratched his head and said, "I'll go back and think about it and see if there are any other popular products."

"It's okay if you can't think of it. These are already amazing." Shannara said with a smile.

They chatted for a while and it was getting dark.

Wu Heng picked up Shannara and walked upstairs.

The maids followed behind and made a noise.

Shannella said, "Why? I need to go back and rest today. I'm going to the opera house tomorrow morning."

"Get up early tomorrow, so you won't be late."

As they talked, they went into the bathroom, sat in the bathtub together, laughing and playing.

……

At dawn, the Golden Sail Tavern.

A young bard was brought in today.

He told a newspaper story and then slammed the table.

"When the merchant took the potion, veins popped up all over his body, and his skin turned black and purple, which quickly spread all over his body. When the other people around him saw this, they stood up and stepped back one after another, looking terrified."

"Based on the symptoms, everyone concluded that the potion was poison and that the island owner had set it up to defraud money and kill people."

"We need to gather a crowd and go to the island owner's mansion to ask for an explanation. We also need to report to the association."

"Just when everyone was in chaos."

"The merchant who took the potion stood up from the ground and shouted, 'Wait.'"

"Everyone turned around and saw that the merchant had stood up. The dark purple veins on his body had faded, and his wrinkles had lightened. He seemed to be ten years younger."

“At this point, the wealthy merchants and dignitaries present realized what kind of treasure they had missed, but it was already too late.”

"It's too late to regret!"

"This is what happened after the auction of the potion."

As the bard tells the story.

Everyone seemed to see the wealthy businessman fall to the ground after taking the potion, and then turn from old to young.

This medicine actually works.

It can also make people younger.

Then selling it for tens of thousands of gold coins doesn’t seem expensive.

And those wealthy businessmen who still suspected that the island owner was a fraud were regarded as ignorant outsiders by the island residents.

That's a great detective.

He was the one who saved Miss Benny and joined the cult alone to avenge her.

Would I cheat you because of something like this?

He actually suspected the island owner.

Sure enough, rich people’s brains may not be very useful.

……

Zombie world.

Wu Heng stood outside the classroom, looking at the female technician with a bandage on her head.

Standing in front of the blackboard, teaching more than twenty white skeletons below.

The scene was somewhat scary.

The female technician's voice was also shaking while she was lecturing.
