When Fu Yan asked if anyone else wanted to say anything, no one dared to speak. There was dead silence in the seating area of ministers.
Some wanted to say something, but after glancing at the unconscious young man on the floor, they refrained from doing so. Fu Yan nodded when he saw that and said in a loud and cold voice.
"When I am speaking, don't dare to interrupt me. Now, where was I..." After saying this he paused a little and said.
"So I was talking about the late fee. If it is the usual process then I would have taken the planet energy as a fee. But when I arrived, Miss Marin welcomed me well and showed me great hospitality. I am pleased with her service and to give her credit, I have decided not to take the planet energy as the fee. But it's not free, You will need to provide me something worth of interest as compensation."
Fu Yan looked around after speaking but no one uttered a sound. He sighed and said.
"Ok, you can speak now."
Many ministers below started to chatter among themselves. They spoke to each other and while speaking they would look towards Fu Yan from time to time but would quickly look away. They had fear in their hearts because Fu Yan showed them the strength that they never had imagined.
After talking among themselves for a while, they stopped and an old man with a long beard stood up and walked towards where Fu Yan was sitting. He stopped a little away from Fu Yan and bowed. After that, he started to speak.
"Sir Librarian! We offer our gratitude and respect to you. We are also happy that you are not taking the life force of our planet and we want to apologize for what the impulsive young man did a while ago."
Fu Yan nodded after hearing this. The old man continued after seeing him nodding.
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness. Now the main point. We know that we will need to offer something with high value to compensate you but we don't know what will the Sire desire. We can offer gold and gems but I know they are worthless in Sire's eyes."
Fu Yan nodded and said.
"You are right. I don't want gold or gems, what I desire is knowledge or something new that I have never seen before. It can be an object, a book, or something else. What I want is something that intrigues me."
The old man sighed and said.
"Sir I am really sorry but we don't know what thing we can offer. I beg the sire to guide us."
Fu Yan was very happy and amused by the way the old man handled the situation. This old man was cautious and wise. He had managed to make Fu Yan tell them what he needed without having Fu Yan as the person asking. He made it look like Fu Yan was guiding them. He had handled the situation very optimally.
Fu Yan smiled and said.
"Well, Your planet falls in E+ category and there is not much that interests me..." He paused and then as if he remembered something, Fu Yan spoke.
"Oh yes! I remember while touring the castle I went towards the training fields of soldiers and saw something interesting."
The old man spoke in a cautious tone and said.
"Sir, what might it be that interested you?"
Fu Yan nodded and said.
"I saw some soldiers sparring with each other and noticed that some weak looking men could easily defeat those with heavy builds and they could even lift the same weight as others, even sometimes more than that. Can you tell me what that is?"
The old man hesitated a little after hearing this and then looked towards Marin who had never spoken after the introduction.
Marin saw the old man looking at her and she nodded. The old man's complexion relaxed after getting her confirmation. He looked at Fu Yan and said.
"Sir that is the result of medicine that we have developed. It was developed after a long struggle and effort. Our alchemists worked day and night to produce that medicine. It cannot be mass-produced and every year we can create no more than 2 doses, and on top of that, each man needs to take 10 doses of the medicine for it to work properly. After taking it, they would have 4 times the power of normal men and could live 50 to 70 years more compared to others. We have 2 versions of this drug. The original one is what I told you before and the other one is the lesser version. What you saw in the field were those men who used the lesser version."
Fu Yan was excited upon hearing this. This was really a wonder drug and he was surprised that this planet that was in a low category could make something this amazing.
"At a guess, their rating will be improving after I go back." He decided to increase their category to D- after going back.
He looked at the old man and said.
"Ok continue. Tell me more."
The old man was a little happy that Fu Yan was interested so he continued speaking.
"Yes Sir. The lesser version can be mass-produced and we can make 300 each year and only 2 doses per man are needed for it to be effective. After using the lesser version, men can have 2 times the strength of a normal person but it does not increase the life span. The other thing that I forgot to mention is that it only works on young people under the age of 40 years. Older than that, it has no effect."
Fu Yan smiled and said.
"Ok, I understand what you are saying. I have decided. I will take 10 doses of the original version of medicine and the formula for the lesser version."
Just when Fu Yan said it, a man with a scar on his face stood up and said.
"No, we can't give it to you. It's the hard work of 5 years, and we have only used it on 2 people before this. Both of them belonged to the princess. It's my turn this time, so you can't take it," the man said furiously. He seemed quite upset with Fu Yan taking the medicine.
Fu Yan looked at the man that rejected him and frowned.
