502 Chapter 502-profiteering industry
In the next few days.
Qin shujian rarely went to the pill refinery Hall.
!!
He had no choice.
There was too much gossip.
Even a person like Zheng Fang was gossiping, let alone the others.
This was something that could not be helped.
Who asked him to not go to the pill refinery Hall usually? during this period of time, he had been running to the pill refinery Hall desperately. It was difficult for people not to notice him.
Other than avoiding suspicion.
…..
The other reason why Qin shujian did not go to the pill refinery Hall was that he seemed to have returned to normal.
At the very least, she didn’t feel like she was looking at a handsome man like before.
Ever since then.
Qin shujian stayed in the forbidden area and trained quietly.
Although the cultivation speed of a Deva would be very slow in the future, no matter how slow it was, it could still accumulate and be cultivated bit by bit.
One could not travel a thousand miles without a single step.
This was probably the logic.
However …
Qin shujian didn’t stay in seclusion either.
Every day, he would take some time out for a walk, just to ease his mood.
“It’s really easy to get addicted to comfortable days.”
Qin shujian looked at the clouds in the sky. He actually felt a little nostalgic for his current life.
But very quickly.
This trace of attachment was cut off by him.
It was fine to rest occasionally, but if he didn’t, it would be his death.
In terms of fear of death.
Qin shujian felt that he should be able to rank in the top three of the sect.
He had done so many things in order to live longer.
As long as he continued to improve his strength.
Regardless of whether it was the players or the three continents, they could only stand aside.
However, if they were not strong enough.
Many things would become more troublesome.
When Qin shujian thought of this, he sighed again. “Strength, strength, it’s not that easy to improve your strength. The celestial realm is just the beginning.
Now, every step he took was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Ten levels of celestial realm, one step to the heavens, that’s probably it!”
Sometimes, he was also thinking.
If he was weak and didn’t know many things, he wouldn’t have to think so much.
Finally …
Qin shujian decided to give up on this thought.
Because this idea was completely nonsense.
Perhaps those who were weak didn’t need to think so much, but at the same time, they didn’t know how they died.
In the end.
Only when one’s fist was big and strong enough would one have the right to speak.
At this moment.
The communication jade talisman in his storage ring rang. Qin shujian took out the item and read the message.
Then, he turned around and left.
In the Cheng Wu Hall.
Yin Bancheng and Fang xinglan were seated on either side of him.
Qin shujian was seated on the main seat.
Yin Bancheng and Fang xinglan were both very surprised to see each other.
The two of them had thought that they were the only ones who had made a deal with Yuan sect.
But now it seemed …
It wasn’t a matter of his family.
In response, the two of them had rather unsightly expressions.
Yin Bancheng and Fang xinglan had no idea how many creation pills Qin shujian had refined this time.
If there was only one, the two families would have to fight for it.
In other words …
Originally, he only needed to pay the normal price, but now, he might even have to pay double the price.
Therefore, when Qin shujian appeared, Yin Bancheng was the first to say, ” sect master Qin, after I received your message, I immediately rushed over. I heard that the creation pill has been successfully refined. I wonder if it’s true? ”
that’s right. Sect leader Qin, you and I have made a promise before. If you manage to refine a nature pill, you will give one to the sky array sect.
Fang xinglan immediately replied.
Upon hearing this.
Yin Bancheng’s face darkened even more.
What did he mean?
He was going to take the lead in snatching the good fortune pill.
Just as Yin Bancheng was about to argue, Qin shujian stopped the two of them. He smiled faintly and said, “”Don’t worry, the nature pill has been successfully refined. However, elder Fang has one thing to make sure.
The heaven array sect did have a share of the nature pill, but the sky array sect had to be able to afford it.
Otherwise, I have no other choice.”
Fang xinglan’s eyes flickered for a moment before she replied with a normal expression, “”Sect leader Qin’s words are reasonable. Of course, we have to fight for the treasure with our wealth.”
“..”
Yin Bancheng wanted to laugh, but he suddenly stopped.
Because he realized.
If they were to compete with their financial resources, it seemed like he might not be able to win against Fang xinglan.
One was a top sect.
One was a large sect.
In comparison, the traceless sect was naturally weaker.
Not to mention that the sky array sect controlled the cultivation world of the fallen Moon mansion. He could not guess how many resources they had.
When he thought about how unlikely it was for him to fight for it.
At this moment, Yin Bancheng was also a little anxious.
It would be fine if he didn’t know about the creation pill, but whether he could break through to the Deva realm would all depend on his own luck.
But now that he knew about the creation pill, his hopes were reignited.
If his hopes were to be crushed at this moment, it would be worse than killing him.
…..
“Sect leader Qin, may I ask how many nature pills have you refined this time?”
elder Yin, don’t worry. The traceless sect and the heaven array sect only need one nature pill each. I can satisfy that.
Qin shujian’s words dispelled the worries in Yin Bancheng’s heart.
He could be satisfied.
That meant that there were at least two nature pills.
Upon hearing this.
The two of them looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Especially Yin Bancheng.
He didn’t have the confidence to compete with the sky array sect. Now that he didn’t need to compete, it was naturally for the best.
As for Fang xinglan.
He had similar thoughts at this moment.
Even though he was not afraid of the traceless sect, the competition between two sects was equivalent to an additional loss.
The sky array sect was not rich now, so it was better to save as much as possible.
With this thought …
Fang xinglan shifted his gaze back to Qin shujian and asked, “”I wonder what sect master Qin will do in order to get the nature pill?”
I won’t say too much. One hundred spirit stones. Whoever can take out one hundred spirit stones can take the good fortune pill.
Qin shujian extended a finger and smiled as he spoke.
The words fell.
Fang xinglan and Yin Bancheng’s expressions changed. Even though they had expected this, they were still stunned by Qin shujian’s words.
A hundred spirit stones!
One had to know that the market price of one Spirit stone was ten million, and one hundred spirit stones was equivalent to one billion. However, no one was selling it at this price. Even if it was three or four times the price, it was still not possible to buy it.
In other words …
A discount of 100 spiritual stones would be at least three to four billion.
And it might not even be the kind that he could have.
This price made both Yin Bancheng and Fang xinglan’s expression change.
This was especially true for the traceless sect.
Even if he sold everything he had, he might not be able to gather a hundred spirit stones.
&Nbsp; so,
When Qin shujian finished speaking, Yin Bancheng lost his voice and said, ” sect leader Qin, a hundred spirit stones is a little too expensive. I wonder if you can exchange it for something else? ”
the creation pill is extremely difficult to make. It’s a top-notch level nine spiritual pill that can reverse the natural order and restore people with weakened qi and blood to their former peak. There’s a chance for them to break through to the celestial being realm.
Qin shujian shook his head and spoke in a serious tone.
“To be honest, a hundred spirit stones in exchange for a chance to become a Deva isn’t a very high price. If I were to sell these pills to the Imperial court, they’d send me the spirit stones without a second thought.
The two elders can think about it carefully. If the traceless sect and the sky array sect had an additional heavenly being, the sect’s Foundation would definitely increase greatly.
A hundred spirit stones may seem like a lot, but a sect with a Deva guarding it wouldn’t be afraid of a mere hundred spirit stones. In the future, when the land is in chaos, we can just charge in and Rob them, and that’s about the price.”
At this point.
Qin shujian paused for a moment before he continued, “”A year later, no, there’s not a year left now. Soon, the human Emperor will break the restrictions of heaven and earth and connect the three major continents.
One must know that the three continents that even the human Emperor coveted had a lot of resources.
At that time, only heavenly talents would be qualified to interfere and divide the resources of the three major continents.
The eastern continent is already so rich in resources. I don’t need to say much about the other three continents, you should be able to guess.”
“To be honest, if it wasn’t for my friendship with you two, I wouldn’t have sold the nature pill at such a low price.”
Qin shujian spoke in an impassioned manner.
Fang xinglan and Yin Bancheng fell into a dead silence.
A hundred spirit stones wasn’t much? Selling at a low price?
To tell the truth.
If it wasn’t for the fact that their abilities didn’t allow them to do so, they would have come down and given Qin shujian a good beating.
However, the other party was right about some things.
If they didn’t want it, Qin shujian would sell it to the Imperial court, and the Imperial court would most likely want it.
After all, a hundred spirit stones for a celestial realm expert.
In the long run, this business was actually a very profitable one.
Most importantly, the Imperial court was a big family. Even if he failed to break through, he would only lose a hundred spirit stones, which was not a big problem.
But the problem was …
The heaven array sect and the traceless sect were not comparable to the Imperial court.
One hundred spirit stones could be considered a light injury, but that would be equivalent to selling everything.
It would be fine if it was a 100% success rate.
However, a good fortune pill was only a chance for a breakthrough. If it failed, it would be a double loss.
However, when Qin shujian mentioned the three major continents, the two of them hesitated.
A year later, the restriction was broken.
Without a doubt, it would be a shocking battle that would affect the entire human race.
At that time.
If one wasn’t a Deva realm cultivator, they wouldn’t be able to interfere.
A divine martial realm cultivator would die if he entered a battle that involved the human race.
In the battle of the Imperial City, countless divine martial artists had died. Even many saints and Almighties had died.
That time.
It’s just an internal conflict of the human race.
He thought about it.
Fang xinglan gritted her teeth, nodded, and said,”A hundred spirit stones is fine, but sect master Qin needs to give me some time. At the latest, I will deliver the hundred spirit stones to your sect in half a year.”
It was different from Yin Bancheng.
If he had the good fortune pill, he would have a 70% chance of success.
Even though there was still a 30% chance of failure.
However, to Fang xinglan, the remaining 30% could be ignored.
This was because no one would have a 100% success rate when breaking through to the celestial being realm. A 70% chance might not be the highest, but it was close.
Qin shujian’s expression became a little hesitant when he heard this. half a year? that’s a little long!
As he said this, he looked at Fang xinglan again as if he had made a huge decision.
“However, for the sake of my friendship with elder Fang, half a year is just half a year. However, if I pay you after half a year, it won’t be a hundred spirit stones, but a hundred and five.
After all, I can do a lot of things with a hundred spirit stones in half a year. Elder Fang, you can’t make me lose money, right?”
Fang xinglan’s expression was dark.
The interest of five spirit stones for half a year.
What kind of usury was this?
Even loan sharks wouldn’t go this far.
Furthermore, how could a hundred spirit stones generate a profit of five spirit stones in half a year? did he really think that spirit stones were cabbages that could be easily obtained?
Fang xinglan suppressed the urge to hit someone and said in a cold voice, ” five spirit stones is a little too much. The sky array sect will at most pay two more spirit stones as interest.
“That’s fine. For the sake of our friendship, two is fine.”
Qin shujian waved his hand magnanimously and settled the matter.
It was not a bad thing to earn two more spirit stones in half a year.
If possible.
He had wanted to ask Fang xinglan if he wanted to give it to her later. At most, he would only add a few more spirit stones.
However, looking at the other party’s appearance …
Qin shujian still didn’t finish his sentence.
It was obvious that taking out so many spiritual stones was not the limit of the sky array sect, but it was not far off.
In addition, he also hoped that the other party could successfully break through. When the time came, the two families would form an alliance to deal with the matters of the three major continents. Yuan sect would not be isolated and helpless.
It would be even better if the traceless sect could break through as well.
Qin shujian’s gaze landed on Yin Bancheng as he thought about this. He spoke slowly.
if elder Yin really can’t take out so many spirit stones in such. short time, why don’t you consider paying in installments? I have some detailed payment procedures here …
“There’s no need. Thank you for your kind intentions, sect leader Qin.”
Yin Bancheng immediately refused.
What kind of joke was that?
Needless to say, the interest must be frighteningly high.
At that time.
Perhaps he would have to work for the other party for free after breaking through to the Deva realm.
If the breakthrough failed, it would be a problem if the formless blade sect could pay off this debt in the next thousand years.
When that time came, he would not be able to die in peace if the traceless sect was devoured by the sky origin sect.
“Just like the sky array sect, my traceless sect will deliver the same spirit stones to your sect in half a year at the latest.”
After much thought, Yin Bancheng still made the same choice as Fang xinglan.
He had no choice.
The traceless sect was really poor.
If even the sky array sect had to delay the time, then he would not be able to.
If the situation allowed it, Yin Bancheng would have wanted to extend the deadline a little longer. However, given the situation just now, he immediately put an end to that thought.
Upon hearing this.
Qin shujian had a slightly regretful expression on his face. However, it disappeared very quickly. He then took out two Jade bottles from his storage ring and used his divine will to send them to the two of them.
Seeing this, the two of them reached out to take it.
there’s a nature pill in each of the Jade bottles, but be careful when you open them. Don’t let the pills run away. I’ll make it clear in advance that if the pills run away on their own, I won’t compensate you.
Qin shujian warned.
The pill ran away?
It didn’t exist!
Fang xinglan held the Jade bottle with one hand and could sense the sealing formation on it. There was also a faint vibration coming from the bottle, as if an expert was shaking the Jade bottle.
as expected of the creation pill. It’s truly shocking.
He did not have the slightest doubt when he saw this.
Only this kind of top-grade medicinal pill would have such strength.
Once a pill was formed, its strength would be equivalent to that of a cultivator.
On the other side, Yin Bancheng also held the Jade bottle in his hand.
He wasn’t an array master, so he didn’t know much about the sealing array on the Jade bottle, but he could still sense the sealing power.
Qin shujian said, ” the Jade bottle is a spirit weapon that I’ve personally refined. I’ll give it to you as well. Treat it as a gift.
– Okay-”
Fang xinglan and Yin Bancheng looked at each other, nodded their heads, and replied with a simple ‘okay’.
It’s just a Jade bottle spirit tool, and you want us to open our mouths and thank you?
When they thought about the two extra spirit stones that they had been scammed of, they didn’t have any desire to speak.
After keeping the Jade bottle, Fang xinglan was the first to stand up. He cupped his hands and said, now that I have the good fortune pill, I have to go back and make preparations for my breakthrough. I won’t be staying for long. Once I break through to the Deva realm, I’ll come back and discuss it with you.
Finished speaking.
He also cupped his fists at Yin Bancheng, then turned around and left.
As for Yin Bancheng, he had originally wanted to leave as well.
However, Fang xinglan’s last sentence made him have other thoughts.
Discuss?
Discuss what?
Could it be that there was an agreement between the sky array sect and the yuan sect?
For a moment.
Yin Bancheng’s heart was filled with many thoughts.
However, he didn’t think too much about it. The most important thing right now was to break through to the Deva realm. Everything else could be put aside for the time being.
“Sect leader Qin, I’ll take my leave as well. I’ll definitely come and thank you when I break through to the Deva realm.”
“Take care, elder Yin.”
“Farewell.”
Yin Bancheng also left Chengwu Hall.
The main hall that originally had three people now only had one person.
two hundred and four spirit stones. That’s not a loss. Qin shujian rubbed his chin, and there was a smile on his face.
The nature pill was a top-grade spiritual pill that could give them the chance to break through to the celestial realm.
However, seriously speaking, this pill had only one effect.
It reversed the innate state, causing his dormant qi and blood to return to its peak state.
For people like Yin Bancheng and Fang xinglan, it was not that they could not break through to the celestial realm. It was just that the limitations of their blood Qi caused the chances of them breaking through to the celestial realm to be extremely low.
Only after taking the nature pill could the success rate be increased.
However, for those cultivators who were at the peak of their vital energy and blood, they didn’t need a good fortune pill to break through to the celestial realm.
This way …
The nature pill was important to some, but it was dispensable to others.
In addition, although the materials were precious, the cost of one set of materials was about twenty spirit stones.
Qin shujian had used two sets of materials to refine the fate pill this time.
In other words …
He had earned more than 200 spirit stones from the initial cost of 40 spirit stones. The remaining two nature elixir in his hands were about the same price.
In this way, the profit would be ten times the cost.
f * ck! Pill refining is really profitable!
Qin shujian would not have known if he had not counted, but he was shocked when he did.
He knew that alchemy was very profitable.
However, at that time, he only earned a small amount of money from alchemy, and he didn’t seriously calculate how many times the profit was.
However, things were different now.
The cost of making the creation pill was high to begin with. One set of ingredients required twenty spiritual stones.
However, the profit was ten times the cost.
If that was the case, it would be terrifying.
“No, if that’s the case, then the other alchemists would have made a fortune.”
Qin shujian shook his head again and overturned his earlier guess.
Other alchemists, even Grandmaster alchemists, had a high chance of failure.
To refine a furnace of good fortune pills, one might need to fail three or four times. Moreover, a furnace of good fortune pills might not even have as many as two pills.
He started to count seriously.
Even though there was still profit from pill refining, it was not as exaggerated as ten times.
However-
However, Qin shujian was different.
He was originally at the peak of a certain level of Grandmaster Alchemist, and now that he had advanced again, he had completed a new transformation.
Although it had not been reflected yet.
However, Qin shujian was certain that his success rate in refining level nine medicinal pills was definitely not something that other grandmasters in alchemy could compare to.
The failure rate was low.
The success rate was higher, and the number of pills produced was higher.
The profits he earned were naturally not something other grandmasters could compare to.
When Qin shujian thought of this, he muttered to himself, ” why don’t I just concoct pills in the sect? with such high profits, if I can just concoct pills in peace and Exchange them for spirit stones, I might be able to cultivate faster.
At this moment, he really had this thought.
In the past, he didn’t calculate it carefully and didn’t know that pill refining could be so profitable.
Now that he knew, he was really tempted.
After a long time.
Only then did Qin shujian calm down the agitation in his heart. He shook his head and said, “”Long-term alchemy isn’t a solution. If you don’t experience fighting, it’ll be embarrassing if you’re killed by someone who’s a realm higher than you.
In addition, the alchemy materials for level nine elixir recipes were not easy to gather. Moreover, he already needed so many spirit stones for one cultivation now. He would definitely need more for later cultivation.
At that time, I might be able to earn spirit stones faster than I can absorb spiritual Qi.
However, it’s a good idea to occasionally refine some pills and sell them. At least, we can solve the crisis of spirit stones in a short time.”
After knowing the benefits of alchemy, he had become more confident.
It was impossible for him to give up on this lucrative industry.
He still had to earn money.
No matter where it was, there were many things that couldn’t be done without money.
At the same time.
Qin shujian’s desire to recruit alchemists grew even more urgent.
The more high-level alchemists there were in the sect, the more profits they could generate for the sect.
In the past, he had been unable to recruit alchemists, and he had thought that it was because there were very few alchemists.
But now it seemed …
It was clear that those sects firmly controlled alchemists in their hands and would not let these money trees leave. This was the reason why he had been unable to recruit any high-level alchemists.
After all, only high-grade or higher-grade alchemists could earn money.
For those low-grade and mid-grade alchemists, the probability of failure far exceeded the probability of success.
Every time he refined a pill.
It would cost a lot of money.
This was also the reason why many sects would go bankrupt unknowingly when they were training alchemists.
This was because the cost was too high.
It was true that high-level alchemists made money, but before they became high-level alchemists, they used money to smash their way through.
To be able to break through to high grade, that was naturally not a loss.
However, if the breakthrough failed, it would be a loss.
