41 -41: Side Business Achieves Minor Success
The Golden Armored Spirit Turtle dragged a large chunk of Spiritual Ore, while the Stone Spirit, like dispersed crystal mud, wriggled on top of it.
“Truly a foodie, though it doesn’t grow quickly.”
Based on the information Xu Feng had, the Stone Spirit’s Growth Stage was slower than that of average Spirit Turtles.
If there were no High Grade Spiritual Ore supply, the Stone Spirit would truly dare to starve itself to death.
The feeding Stone Spirit sensed the presence of its owner, Xu Feng, above and, while eating, simulates a small hand to wave in the direction of Divine Thought.
Not long later, the little Stone Spirit was brought by the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle into its little den.
At that moment, the Stone Spirit sensed the presence of a Big Dragon Scale and was bewitched as if seeing the lover of its dreams.
It lunged towards the Dragon Scale with all its strength from atop the Spiritual Ore, clinging to the Dragon Scale like a stubbornly adhesive plaster that couldn’t be torn off.
“Not bad at all, I wonder what changes will happen to the Stone Spirit after it consumes this Dragon Scale,” Xu Feng thought to himself from the sky.
Back in the Cultivation Room, Xu Feng slowly opened his eyes, a flash of Spirit Light gleaming from them.
“It’s time to start on the side business~”
Xu Feng walked into a specially prepared Alchemy Room, and with a wave of his hand, four puppets with vacant gazes appeared like humans.
Afterward, he carefully took out a Space Treasure known as Spiritual Medicine Mountain.
There were about twenty acres of Spiritual Medicine fields in this Space Treasure, cultivated with some common Alchemy Spirit Medicines.
Right now within the Spiritual Medicine fields, several puppets were busily working.
“As expected of a Spiritual Medicine field worth 3000 High Grade Spirit Stones, fully automated with humanized settings, nice.”
Xu Feng took out several portions of Alchemy Spirit Medicine for refining Fasting Pills and handed them to the puppets beside him for processing.
Then he picked up the Dan Recipe for refining Fasting Pills.
“Today I must succeed in refining; I simply don’t believe in not being able to create an Alchemist through sheer spending,” Xu Feng said ambitiously.
Since his youth, he had a profound interest in Alchemy and Artifact Refining, but never had the chance to get involved.
Gathering his concentration and calming his breath, he ignited the Spiritual Fire in the newly purchased Treasure-grade Alchemy Furnace to preheat.
Xu Feng took the processed medicinal herbs from the puppets and began to refine them one by one according to the Dan Recipe.
With the Dan Recipe in mind and controlling the Spiritual Fire in the furnace, Xu Feng entered a marvelous state.
Refining the Elixir felt like breaking through a bottleneck.
By the time Xu Feng came back to his senses, two bottles of neatly stored Fasting Pills had appeared before him.
“From ten batches to two, all the refined Fasting Pills are Middle Grade.
I must have entered an enlightenment state!” Xu Feng exclaimed in disbelief as he looked at the two bottles of pills in his hand.
“Keep going!”
Xu Feng started the furnace and continued refining pills.
With the puppets cleaning and refining the Spirit Medicines, Xu Feng’s efficiency greatly increased.
From initially having two successful batches out of ten to later achieving seven out of ten, Xu Feng spent a whole half a month on it.
“The cost of one batch of Spirit Medicine is 15 Spirit Stones, and a batch of Fasting Pills can be sold for 50 Spirit Stones.
The high-quality ones may even sell for 55 Spirit Stones per bottle.”
“Not bad, with twenty batches a day and after deducting costs, that’s about a 470 Spirit Stone profit.
That’s 14,000 a month and roughly 160,000 a year, equivalent to 16 High Grade Spirit Stones.”
Xu Feng did the math and felt it wasn’t much.
“This is just the most basic pill, and it can already earn so much.
When higher-level Yellow Dragon Pills and Jade Dragon Pills are refined, who knows how much more can be made.”
Imagining a bright future, Xu Feng started refining Fasting Pills again, preparing to master it before moving on to the next type of Elixir.
Three months later, just as Xu Feng was planning to go to the small commercial peak to sell the Fasting Pills he had refined, his Communication Magic Artifact chimed in.
“Little brother is back, looks like I’ll need to visit home for a bit.”
Xu Feng entered a shop that specialized in selling Elixirs.
He found that Zhao Junior Sister, who once wanted to play the innocent with him, was also there, accompanied by a fellow Senior Brother who looked every bit the seasoned sycophant.
Upon seeing Xu Feng, Zhao Junior Sister’s expression turned unsightly first, then took on a wronged look.
“Junior Sister, what’s wrong with you!” Seeing the pitiful look on his crush’s face, the Senior Brother by her side hurriedly asked.
Xu Feng totally ignored this scene and went straight into the back of the shop.
“Dao Friend Xu, how many Spirit Pills have you brought this time?” the shopkeeper of the Spiritual Medicine shop asked with a beaming smile.
“100 bottles of Fasting Pill, 5 bottles of Yellow Dragon Pill.”
Hearing that there were Yellow Dragon Pills, the shopkeeper’s expression grew even more eager.
“Fasting Pills are 45 Spirit Stones each, can I verify the quality of the Yellow Dragon Pills, Dao Friend Xu?”
The shopkeeper, looking at the rows of Jade Bottles placed on the table, started to calculate his profits.
“Please do.”
After receiving permission, the shopkeeper randomly picked out a bottle of Yellow Dragon Pill to inspect.
“Lower Grade, passable, how about 450 Spirit Stones each?” the shopkeeper tentatively suggested.
“Shopkeeper really knows his stuff, offering the same price as those few shops.” Xu Feng said with a slight smile.
“Dao Friend Xu, we’ve had such a pleasant cooperation.
I’ll take the Yellow Dragon Pills for 460 Spirit Stones each, and hopefully, our cooperation will last even longer,” the shopkeeper said, deciding on the spot.
“It’s you who has the eye for quality, Shopkeeper.”
After the transaction was complete, Xu Feng walked out of the shop with 6,800 Spirit Stones, only to be stopped by that suspected seasoned sycophant at the Golden Core Stage.
“Fellow Junior Brother, I think you owe my Zhao Junior Sister an apology,” the Golden Core Stage disciple said with a slightly frosty demeanor.
“How should I address this Senior Brother?” Xu Feng immediately found it amusing.
“Daoling lineage, Zhou Junping.” Zhou Junping looked coldly at Xu Feng.
“Alright, let’s talk serious, why should I apologize to your Zhao Junior Sister.” Xu Feng said at a leisurely pace, secretly comparing Zhao Junior Sister to Xiaorou and Xiaoxue in his mind.
Suddenly realized, there’s no place like home.
“Because you made Zhao Junior Sister feel wronged.” The tone carried a sense of inexplicable anger that Xu Feng found baffling.
“You’re a fellow Senior Brother at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, why on earth would you choose to be a sycophant?”
“If Junior Sister feels wronged, I have to apologize to her?”
“If I feel wronged, is she supposed to climb into my bed to comfort me?” Xu Feng said with a look of disdain.
“Here’s a word for you, Senior Brother, sycophants end up with nothing in the end.”
“At the Golden Cauldron Immortal City, spending five hundred Spirit Stones at the Jade Charm Pavilion can let you experience what it’s like to be fawned over.”
Having said so, Xu Feng walked past Zhou Junping.
“If you want an apology, you can come to the Outer Sect’s law hall and challenge me at the arena.
Win, and you naturally can have it.”
Hearing this, Zhou Junping watched Xu Feng’s retreating back with an unwilling expression.
What does the term sycophant even mean?
Although he didn’t understand, he knew it definitely wasn’t anything good.
Inside the Xu Family Courtyard, a family of four happily gathered together.
Sensing the aura exuded by Xu Ming, Xu Feng curiously asked, “Reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage?”
“Yes, advancing while fighting, without the need for Breakthrough Pills!” Xu Ming nodded, suggesting that cultivation was quite easy.
We came from the same belly, why are you so outstanding?
When Xu Feng thought of how he used two Breakthrough Pills just for advancing to the mid-stage of Golden Core, he couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.
