Time flew by quickly.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Luo Chen had sold all his remaining Fasting Elixir pills and Allure Pills. And by then, it was only noontime.
There was no need to do heavy calculations. With Luo Chen’s Spirit Vision Technique, he could tell at a glance how much he made today.
He earned a hundred Spirit Stones from the Fasting Elixir, and four hundred and five from the Allure Pills.
While it may not seem like much, keep in mind that this is the profit made in just half a month, and the cost is only two hundred Spirit Stones!
In other words, Luo Chen made a net profit of three hundred and five!
Let s not forget that just half a year ago, he was a poor Rogue Cultivator earning only five Spirit Stones a month.
Only once you master it, being a Pill Refiner is very lucrative indeed! Of course, Luo Chen was fully aware of the profits.
What he valued more was his current wealth. Adding to the Spirit Stones he had left, his savings soared to eight hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones. This was truly a historical peak for him!
Well, that one time he sold the Flying Swallow Sword Magic Tool doesn’t count Windfalls don’t last long.
Only money earned by oneself is the most dependable!
After quickly assessing his wealth, Luo Chen began to plan where to go next. Many foreign cultivators have come to The Great River District. Word is that there are many stalls as well.
He also wanted to see some special cultivation resources from out of town and see if any of them could be of help.
It’s true, when a man is wealthy, he’s full of confidence!
Previously, he would be hastily purchasing raw materials and going home to refine more pills. nove(l)bi(n.)com
But not now.
Holding his head high, Luo Chen’s gaze swept over the bustling cultivator market. He looked down on everyone with a sense of superiority.
However, when his gaze fell upon Elder Chen, his momentum fell by a few notches.
Seeing Elder Chen clearing up his stall and busy packing a pile of bags and ropes, Luo Chen remarked, “Friend Chen, business is booming today. You’re already sold out.”
Elder Chen laughed, “How can I compare to you, Friend Luo?”
Elder Chen added mockingly, “I labor day and night to make a few hundred talisman papers and earn three to four hundred Spirit Stones. But Friend Luo disappears for half a month, and returns with a revenue of five to six hundred. I’m far inferior to you, far inferior!”
What’s with the sarcasm?
Between gritted teeth, Luo Chen reluctantly pulled out fifty lower-grade Spirit Stones. He placed them in a small cloth bag and handed it to Elder Chen.
“My cultivation journey is tough, thank you, Uncle Chen, for your support.” Although he was reluctant, his words were sincere.
Elder Chen loaned him fifty Spirit Stones back then, which played a crucial role in kick-starting his pill refinement business.
Back then, his Allure Pills were still at the beginner level with a high failure rate.
And all of these, are all painstakingly earned and saved by Elder Chen.
In the bustling market, in front of the empty bluestone stall.
Old, young, and child, the three looked at each other in silence.
While Chen Xiuping and Luo Chen were immersed in thoughts of their past hardships, Chen Shuyi was full of anticipation for the future.
“This piece of blue stone was carried back from the mountain by me back in the day. It was meant to distinguish my stall from the makeshift stalls of those rogue cultivators, to show that my stall was different.”
After I leave, go to the market management office of Yu Ding Sword Sect and change the name of this stall!”
This piece of blue stone, I will also give it to you.”
“Of course, from now on, you have to pay the stall fee of a whole Spirit Stone every month.”
As he spoke, Elder Chen chuckled lightly.
Luo Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth, looking at the polished stone slab, he took a deep breath.
“Friend Chen, today we part, but this is not a parting of life and death, why are you speaking in such a mournful way?”
“Come, let the Middle Stage Qi Refinement Great Cultivator Luo Chen give you a farewell banquet!”
Chen Xiupmg was taken aback, then seemed to have thought of something.
He stroked his beard, and laughed heartily.
Then I must make sure to make a good meal out of you!”
Luo Chen waved his large hand, “It’s just some Spirit Stone, let’s go to Zhong
Ding Family for a banquet. I’ll be the host today!”
“No need to worry about a lack of friends on the path ahead, who in the world does not know you?”
“Well said, I, Chen Xiuping, have few friends in my life. You, Xiao Luo, are one of them. Let’s drink up this glass. If you have a hard time in the future, just go to Shen Fu Sect. By that time, Shuyi should certainly have reached foundation establishment. She will look after you.”
“Heh, looking down on me? How do you know that I won’t reach the foundation establishment.”
“Come on, your Spirit Root aptitude is even worse than mine.”
“You say it again? Say it one more time and you’re paying the bill for this meal!”
“Friend, you have the demeanor of a golden core, it’s my eyes that failed to recognize.”
In the afternoon, Luo Chen bid farewell to the old and the young and set off alone on the way home.
His face was contorted in rage.
Cheaters, damn it, all cheaters!”
“Just a couple’s meal set, plus a pot of wine, two plates of meat, and they dare to charge fifty Spirit Stones.”
“Who told me that Zhong Ding Family doesn’t make money? Their Yu Ding Sword Sect is rolling in it, okay?”
Cursing and complaining as he walked, Luo Chen’s brows suddenly furrowed. Without changing his pace or looking back, as he passed a corner, a tiny puppet pangolin landed nimblely on the ground, burrowing into the shadows. Behind him, two figures followed at a casual pace..
