Chapter 23

Unexpectedly, it was Li Jianren, the boy who had a little squabble with Li Changsheng not long ago. Beside him was the limping Fire Wolf which was looking at Ai Xi with some admiration.

The Healing Spring had an excellent healing effect. Coupled with the demon pet’s natural resilience, although it could not recover immediately from the injury, it should be fully healed after two or three days’ rest.

Without the potent Healing Spring, even with the Li Clan’s special Green Jade Haemostatic Ointment, it would take ten and a half months for the Fire Wolf to fully recover from its crippling wounds. Such a lengthy duration was enough for other competitors to catch up, making Li Jianren lose his chance in fighting for a spot in the institution.

Li Jianren understood this very well. It was difficult for him to buy medicine superior to the Green Jade Haemostatic Ointment. In addition, there were no demons with healing skills in the clan. After receiving Li Changsheng’s “generosity” with no strings attached, he wanted to repay him as soon as possible. As an individual who cared very much for his image, he did not refuse after being told that Li Changsheng was looking for him.

Compared to the other day, Li Jianren was no longer arrogant. He muttered, “Changsheng, what do you want from me?”

“Jianren, have you seen these dolia!”

Following Li Changsheng’s gesture, Li Jianren spotted the dolia that were piled up in the corner. As if something had crossed his mind, Li Jianren swallowed loudly.

Without waiting for Li Jianren to speak, Li Changsheng continued, “As you must have guessed, these dolia are filled with Healing Spring! The reason I called for you is very simple. I was hoping you can help me sell these Healing Springs in the long term!”

With the Nature Demon, he could continuously pump out the Healing Spring. As Galen’s strength increased, the output and quality of the Healing Spring would also increase.

Apart from the amount reserved for daily training, the capacity of Healing Spring had a large surplus. On top of that, Li Changsheng was very short on money. Therefore, he developed the idea of ​​selling it, banking on the peculiar effects of Healing Spring to earn him his first pot of gold.

However, selling the Healing Spring was a cumbersome task. It required a lot of time and energy. Naturally, he did not have such time to waste. Following that, he got the idea of having someone else act as his agent.

Why did he choose Li Jianren? It was mainly because the boy was more in line with Li Changsheng’s requirements.

First of all, Li Jianren was a demon tamer. The main target audience of the Healing Spring were demon tamers. Naturally, it was impossible to delegate such a task to a non-demon tamer!

Secondly, in the Li Clan, Li Jianren’s elders held a lot of power. After all, his grandfather was a respected elder. Not only could he easily expand the marketing channel, but it was also enough to deter the prying eyes of crooks.

Li Changsheng could not think of a better partner than Li Jianren.

“Me?” If Li Jianren said he was not surprised, he would be outright lying. He felt that he was having a hallucination. Everyone knew there was a conflict between the two of them not long ago. However, Li Changsheng not only ‘repaid grievances with virtue’ by treating his Fire Wolf, but he also made him an agent for selling the Healing Spring.

It was like a gift falling from the heavens!

“That’s right! We’ll split the profit eighty-twenty. I’ll take eighty and you’ll take twenty. Just give me the word, are you in?”

“Of course, only a fool would refuse!” Li Jianren murmured. He agreed without hesitation.

With the incredible power of the Healing Spring, even if he only received 20% of the profits, it was enough to fill his pockets with enough money to meet all his cultivation needs.

Despite Li Jianren’s elders in the clan possessing a lot of power, there were many other direct descendants in his line. Frankly speaking, his grandfather, who was the elder of the clan, had seven sons ​​including Li Jianren’s father. Further down the line, his father had four heirs, including him.

In short, Li Jianren still had to compete for resources with his three brothers.

“Unless I’m mistaken, you must have a demon pet with healing powers, otherwise you wouldn’t let me sell these Healing Springs!”

“Correct!” Li Changsheng did not deny it. Anyone who was not an idiot could have guessed it. Not to mention, Galen’s existence could not be kept a secret for long.

Li Changsheng suddenly remembered something. He said, “I forgot to tell you. The effect of the Healing Spring can last for about a week, then the effect will be greatly reduced due to energy volatilization!”

“If that’s the case, it must be far less valuable than it seemed. Ugh, then that was a huge loss for me. The Wind Streamer was clearly more valuable than your pot of Healing Spring!”

Li Jianren suddenly thought of the Wind Streamer. He felt a little depressed.

What he did not know was that, when Li Changsheng used the big dolium of Healing Spring as a bet, it was already more than half empty…

“With the value of the Healing Spring, I’m sure you can quickly recover the cost of the Wind Streamer, not to mention this is a money-making scheme for the long run!”

Li Changsheng waved his hand airily. After discussing with Li Jianren, he finally decided on the pricing of the Healing Spring. Each small dolium would only be sold for the price of one low-tier demon core.

With Galen’s output, she could produce 30 to 40 dolia a day. As her strength increased, the output will continue to increase.

Li Changsheng was not afraid of Li Jianren ripping him off. He handed the Healing Springs to him first. Then, he continued to direct Ai Xi to carry out its intense training.

After the training, Ai Xi felt more and more exhausted. Even though it really wanted to improve, it was getting harder and harder for it to break its previous record.

Even if Ai Xi used all its energy, it could not guarantee it could improve its performance every time. According to Li Changsheng’s regulations, if Ai Xi could not break the previous record, it could not drink the Healing Spring.

Without the Healing Spring, it was impossible for it to regain its strength in this limited amount of time.

It was a vicious circle.

Furthermore, it just so happened that Ai Xi was very haughty and headstrong. It did not even think of begging Li Changsheng for pity.

After another lap, Ai Xi panted heavily. Its pink tongue was hanging out of its mouth. Laying on the ground, the tiger did not want to get up.

It failed three times in a row, consuming a lot of its strength. Its entire body was feeling sore and out of place. Even if it continued, it was almost impossible to break the record now.

“Ai Xi, stop your training for now. I made you lunch!”

Li Changsheng knew about Ai Xi’s state. However, he did not modify the rules. If the rest time was increased for no reason, or the previous rules were overturned, or if Ai Xi was given a Healing Spring after each failure, that could easily tempt Ai Xi to slack off in the future.

However, Li Changsheng also had his methods. If Ai Xi really could not continue the training, he would fish for excuses, indirectly increasing Ai Xi’s rest time.

The physique of demon pets far exceeded that of human beings, especially in terms of physical recovery. As long as there was enough rest time, there was almost no need to worry about them breaking down during training.

While Ai Xi was nibbling on the demon food, Li Changsheng began to massage it to ease its vital energy to prevent its body from becoming sore and worsening its condition.

Under the relief of Li Changsheng’s massage, Ai Xi could not help but show a contented look. The soreness of its body gradually subsided. The discontent it felt also vanished.

The demon pet’s physique was shockingly impressive. With the demon food and massage, Ai Xi’s physical strength quickly recovered. Its physique even showed signs of improvement.
