Chapter 179: Demon-Devouring Gu: From Waste to Profit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
No one had ever sold Rejuvenation Pills in large quantities, and the price was so low, so all the low-level cultivators in Heavenly Star City were attracted to Zhou Feng’s small shop.
Such a large flow of people also made it easier for Zhou Feng’s small shop to buy raw materials.
Gathering medicinal ingredients in the wild, killing demonic beasts, and collecting materials were the daily activities of many low-level cultivators.
For these cultivators, as long as the price was right, they would sell to whoever they wanted.
Thus, the ingredients needed to refine the Rejuvenation Pill were received in an instant.
In order to better deal with these medicinal herbs, Zhou Feng also taught Qian Qianqian some ways to pick them.
After all, this was quite a tedious task and a waste of time.
Zhou Feng found it beneath him to do it, so he could only hand it over to Qian Qianqian.
Although Qian Qianqian was blind, her perception was exceptionally outstanding.
And it could be said that she was too outstanding. Even without her eyes, her actions were actually like an ordinary person’s.
‘This kind of perception… She should be able to learn pill refinement!’
Zhou Feng recalled that perception was the important factor if one wanted to learn how to refine pills!
If one’s perception were strong enough, then pill refinement would become easy to learn.
Perhaps he could teach Qian Qianqian some pill refinement skills?
After that, he wouldn’t need to refine the Rejuvenation Pill himself. Qian Qianqian would help him refine it.
No matter how easy it was to refine the Rejuvenation Pill, he would get sick of it if he refined it daily.
Zhou Feng pondered for a moment before asking Qian Qianqian, “Little Qian! Do you want to learn pill refining skills?”
Qian Qianqian, who was sorting out the herbs, was stunned when she heard Zhou Feng’s words.
Pill refinement? She definitely wanted to learn it.
Becoming a Pill Master should be the most desired thing for most people who cultivated.
Even the worst Class 1 Pill Masters could be considered to have a skill.
“Can I?”
Qian Qianqian was a little uncertain about Zhou Feng’s intentions, and her tone was extremely careful.
This was because not everyone was qualified to touch the inheritance of a Pill Master.
“It doesn’t matter. Let’s see if you have the aptitude first.”
Zhou Feng didn’t beat around the bush at all.
It was just a mere pill refining technique, and he was only teaching some basic pill refinement knowledge about the Rejuvenation Pill.
Relying on such a little pill refining foundation, even if Qian Qianqian’s aptitude were heaven-defying, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Moreover, he treated Qian Qianqian like his little sister now.
If her pill refinement talent were really good, then Zhou Feng would not lose out.
No matter what, having a Pill Master as a little sister was a profit.
Still, Zhou Feng was not that familiar with Qian Qianqian, so he needed to take necessary measures.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Feng took out the Demon-Devouring Gu.
“This is the Demon-Devouring Gu. You will be nourishing it from now on.”
Ever since Zhou Feng had started cultivating the Human Emperor Scripture, the Demon-Devouring Gu did not dare to reside in his body.
Every time the Demon-Devouring Gu wanted to enter Zhou Feng’s body as usual, it would immediately jump out due to the scorching hot Blood Qi.
However, the Demon-Devouring Gu was Zhou Feng’s Vital Gu, causing it to be unable to cut off the connection with him. It could only rely on Zhou Feng to give it some Blood Qi to maintain itself.
At present, the Demon-Devouring Gu could be considered as one of his external gu worms.
Coincidentally, the Demon-Devouring Gu could be given to Qian Qianqian for self-protection. At the same time, it could be used to prevent accidents.
If Qian Qianqian did anything unreasonable, the Demon-Devouring Gu would immediately devour her.
Furthermore, the Demon-Devouring Gu could also help Qian Qianqian cultivate.
At the very least, it had the ability to purify Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi.
Qian Qianqian was also a cultivator, but her cultivation aptitude was too low. She was only at the 5th Layer of Body Tempering realm.
It shouldn’t be a big problem for her to break through to the Qi Gathering realm with the Demon-Devouring Gu. This should be a matter of greater benefit than harm to Qian Qianqian.
“How is it? Now the choice is in your hands!”
Zhou Feng held the dormant Demon-Devouring Gu and told Qian Qianqian about the pros and cons of the Demon-Devouring Gu.
“I am willing!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Qianqian gave a firm answer.
There was no hesitation in her words, nor was there the slightest bit of worry.
Zhou Feng’s conditions were already generous enough for Qian Qianqian. This was a great thing for her.
The Demon-Devouring Gu entering Qian Qian’s body had only benefits and no disadvantages.
As long as she didn’t betray Zhou Feng, there were no disadvantages.
Since the father and daughter were in Heavenly Star City now, they were also relying on Zhou Feng to survive.
The restrictions of the Demon-Devouring Gu were not much.
On the contrary, Qian Qianqian could not only become a Pill Master, but her cultivation could also increase with the Demon-Devouring Gu. If she broke through to the Qi Gathering realm, she might be able to get rid of her weak body.
Moreover, the Demon-Devouring Gu could ensure her safety.
Finally, Qian Qianqian and her father could be considered to have completely become Zhou Feng’s people with this Demon-Devouring Gu. The relationship between the two parties would deepen.
There was no need to worry about Zhou Feng giving up on them later.
Given the many benefits, Qian Qianqian did not even need to think about that one disadvantage and directly agreed.
“Good! Find time to let your father read these books to you.”
Zhou Feng ordered the Demon-Devouring Gu to parasitize Qian Qianqian’s body, then took out a few books with the basics of pill refinement.
Qian Qianqian only felt a slight tinge of pain in her arm as something entered her body.
The moment the Demon-Devouring Gu entered Qian Qianqian’s body, it began to move, crazily devouring her Blood Qi.
Such a violent absorption caused Qian Qianqian’s face to turn pale.
Qian Qianqian’s body could be said to be weak compared to Zhou Feng’s powerful body. It could not withstand the torment of the Demon-Devouring Gu.
Zhou Feng frowned and controlled the Demon-Devouring Gu to reverse-feed.
Qian Qianqian, who was about to collapse, finally stood firm.
“Supporting the Demon-Devouring Gu will become your mission from now on. You can use 10% of the store’s dividends as you wish.”
Zhou Feng would not be stingy since he had decided to nurture an underling. He gave 10% of the store’s profits to Qian Qianqian, letting her take care of the Gu properly.
Otherwise, she would not even be able to support the Demon-Devouring Gu.
Of course, if Qian Qianqian’s profits weren’t enough to satisfy him in the future, Zhou Feng could take back the 10% profits at any time.
After that, he gave some instructions. Qian Qianqian silently nodded throughout the whole process and agreed to all of them.
Zhou Feng left and entered closed-door cultivation.
At this time, Qian Shang finally finished all his work and walked to his daughter in high spirits.
“My daughter! This business is too good! Father just received a batch of medicinal herbs! Hurry up and deal with them!”
“Father!”
Qian Qianqian recounted everything to the high-spirited Qian Shang.
“What! This…”
Qian Shang’s first reaction was worry upon hearing that a Gu had entered his daughter’s body.
“Don’t worry! It’s fine! Don’t you trust my intuition?”
Qian Qianqian seemed to have expected this kind of reaction, so she calmed her father’s mood very calmly.
