Chapter 227 Making Money and Refining Alchemy (6.7k, 200 monthly votes plus more updates)
Coinciding with the beast tide, countless monks were forced to move closer to the city. Families like Huang Xiaoliu's were not an exception, but the norm.
Therefore, within a few months of the opening of the Datong Club, the Daai project achieved unimaginable success.
Even Yu Xian, who had been mentally prepared, felt a suffocating excitement when facing the growing amount of spiritual stones in his hand.
Although in theory these spiritual stones are not his, he has to incur huge management costs in them.
But theory is theory and reality is reality.
Now he is the player, he is the referee, he is the organizer, and he is the supervisor. He was stupid before he blew the whistle and said that he had violated regulations.
As long as he ensures that the early operations do not collapse, the huge amount of funds accumulated in the future can be used by him.
The Fucheng headquarters of Datonghui is an important office location.
For the sake of the spirit stone, Yu Xian rarely clocks in to work every day. Every increase in funds will be a powerful help for him to enter the Nascent Soul realm.
At this moment, he was listening to the financial report from his subordinates.
The treasurer was none other than the monk codenamed Lao Gui, one of the first batch of preparatory members to join the Datong Association.
Lao Gui's real name is Gui Shou, and his own qualifications are extremely poor, and he is even on par with Yu Xian.
However, under such circumstances, he actually practiced all the way to the peak of foundation building, and with the help of the outsider's golden elixir, he formed a fake elixir.
He is good at counting plum blossoms, and is especially good at seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck. Joining the Datong Society was also a great opportunity for him to predict the bad luck.
The so-called great disaster means that he will survive a narrow escape, but if he does not die, he will get great benefits.
It’s just that I haven’t seen the benefits yet.
Gui Shou looked at Yu Xian, his mysterious boss, and hid all his thoughts.
"President, the collection of spiritual stones yesterday was 1,365,000, a decrease from the previous day. It is expected that the collection of spiritual stones will continue to decrease in the future.
Currently, there are theoretically 76,423,000 spiritual stones left in the books, and 423,000 spiritual stones are actually kept in the warehouse..."
When Gui Shou said this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He originally thought that he had developed a strong gambling streak throughout his cultivation and would not regret even a narrow escape in order to seek opportunities.
However, after actually seeing Yu Xian, he realized that all he was betting on was childish.
Whenever this account book is exposed, the entire Datong Association will be torn to pieces by the angry group of monks.
"President, isn't this too risky?"
Gui Shou now feels much more exciting than hunting the Demon King with the Jinpeng Demon Veins.
His near-death experience is not over yet.
Yu Xian was very calm: "If the spiritual stones are piled up there and not used, they will always be a pile of broken stones, but in my hands, they can exert their real value.
As long as you can keep up with the subsequent deposits of spiritual stones, you don't have to worry and help me manage my finances. Twenty years from now, you will be a true official member of the Datong Society.
At that time, I will also let you see the true face of Datonghui. "
Yu Xian naturally knew what Gui Shou was worried about.
Such a large number of spirit stones can not only be collected by a few casual cultivators, but also invested by various aristocratic families in the city.
Partly for the palace master's sake, they saved some spiritual stones, but they also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gather a handful of wool.
Anyway, Datong will have the endorsement of the master of the palace. If the spiritual stone is there and it can be exchanged for the heretic golden elixir, why not do it.
Even though it only costs about 1.5 million for Yu Xian to refine a heretic golden elixir, Yu Xian uses free labor.
The market price is more than this. Whenever it goes to auction, if a heretic golden elixir costs less than two million spiritual stones, there is no need to talk about it.
If you leave two hundred thousand spirit stones there, as long as you get one spot within a hundred years, it won't be considered a loss.
Especially in order to attract investment from these landlords, Yu Xian deliberately left a backdoor for them.
As long as you invest one million spiritual stones or more, not only will you be eligible for a lottery of 200,000, but the winning quota will also require you to take it on the spot, but there is no restriction on who the monk is.
Therefore, the investment of 200,000 spirit stones is all basic operations.
Some families with strong gambling habits will even spend most of their family's liquidity on gambling.
Once you win the quota for the Heretic Golden Elixir, even if your family has no suitable candidate, you can still sell it and make a profit.
The market price of the heretic golden elixir is close to two million spiritual stones, and there is no market for it. It is reasonable to add 10% to 20%.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford the spiritual stone at once.
Anyway, Datong Society requires that the debt be settled within ten years, which means that one year's repayment of two hundred thousand spirit stones is enough.
They lend money and ask others to pay back 250,000 yuan a year, and 300,000 spirit stones is even more reasonable.
The fake alchemy monk can't make 300,000 spirit stones a year without taking too much risk, and that doesn't matter.
If you repay 100,000 yuan a year, you can wait for thirty to fifty years in total.
The fake elixir is also a real person, with a lifespan of up to 500 yuan, so what does it matter if he spends one-tenth of his time to pay off his debts?
Therefore, there is no need to worry about the buyer for this kind of treasure.
This is also the scalper qualification that Yu Xian specially reserved for big funds, otherwise why would people give him the spiritual stone for safekeeping.
Only by bundling interests can everyone unite on a united front.
And looking at the funds on the books today, it is obvious that the effect is also excellent.
This was also the reason why Yu Xian had to recruit Palace Master Chu to join his team.
Without the endorsement of the palace lord, who was born into a well-known family and is a local official, others would not dare to invest so boldly and confidently.
After all, Palace Master Chu has a net worth of tens of millions, so even if there is a thunderstorm, he can still afford to pay.
But no one would have thought that the subsequent funds would become larger and larger.
It's not that they don't have a long-term vision, it's actually the first time they've seen this kind of operation.
Moreover, even Palace Master Chu probably did not expect that he would be so bold and dare to drain the fund pool behind his back.
In fact, Palace Master Chu had previously thought about sending someone over to supervise the finances, but Yu Xian firmly refused because of his own business secrets.
However, afterwards, Yu Xian gave Palace Master Chu the dividend for that year in advance, which was a full three million spirit stones.
Coupled with the strong men who are constantly being transported from Datonghui, even if Palace Master Chu has doubts, he can only pretend not to see it in the face of interests.
After all, he gave too much.
Gui Shou could only smile bitterly when he saw that the president, Yu Xian, was so calm.
He didn't take any of the spiritual stones, but the risk was the same, so there was really no way to explain it.
If he had known that this easy and high-paying job would be like this, he might as well have followed that fellow Canglang Taoist to hunt down the Demon King.
The risks of hunting the Demon King are at least predictable and visible.
He sighed silently, and vaguely raised the issue of the Datong Association's daily costs with Yu Xian, hoping that Yu Xian would at least leave some spiritual stones on his books.
But Yu Xian didn't agree.
Nowadays, the staff at the Datong Huifucheng headquarters, and the high-level monks who account for the bulk of the cost, are all reserve members of the Datong Hui, and their salaries are all replaced by merit points.
As for those low-level monks, the hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones on their books are more than enough to cope with them.
"I know what's on the books, just do your job well."
Yu Xian couldn't worry about millions of spiritual stones being thrown away and locked in the warehouse every day. Only his storage bag was the safest place.
"All right."
When Gui Shou saw that Yu Xian was not getting enough food and salt, he had no choice but to resign angrily.
His life was being manipulated, and he really didn't have the confidence to refuse, just like when he wanted to explain to the president the difference between plum blossom counting and arithmetic.
After Gui Shou left, Yu Xian looked at the account book he left behind, and his eyes gradually became darker. The strings of numbers on it were like the whispers of the devil, which was really irresistible.
"Look at these cute numbers. If I go to the secret realm, farm and sell goods, and fight for treasures, how many years will it take me to save these spiritual stones."
"Tsk, tsk, I have tied everyone to my own pirate ship."
Yu Xian closed the account book and smiled softly. Apart from the occasional prick of conscience, there was not much pressure at all in other aspects.
No matter how huge the capital is on the books, in fact the risks he faces are not proportional to the capital at all.
All the monks on the recorded list combined are not worth a hair of the Jinpeng Demon Emperor.
Because even if there was a thunderstorm, no matter how furious they were and how much they wanted to kill him, they would not pose much of a threat to him.
He slaps his butt and uses his deception skills. No matter how high you go in the sky or on the earth, you will never find any trace of him.
As for the Jinpeng Demon Emperor, he lacked the courage to even show up.
"It's your nature to bully the weak and fear the strong."
"So please pray, let me break through smoothly and don't let anything happen in the middle. If I make up for the shortcomings, I will truly benefit the world."
Yu Xian whispered to himself, and his figure gradually disappeared from the room.
…
Fucheng, Danwang Street.
The city lord's palace is an alchemy area specially designed for alchemists. It uses third-level high-grade spiritual veins to supply energy. Each of the alchemy rooms has set up a large earth fire array to extract the fire veins under 10,000 meters. By activating the magic array, one to three-level Ground fire supply is extremely convenient.
In terms of price, it's really not cheap.
Even a second-level alchemist would not think of renting a house for a long time.
They could only spend a sum of spiritual stones to rent an elixir room here for a short period of time when they were refining elixirs that they were not sure about, so as to add some geographical advantages to the elixir refining.
Yu Xian, who had changed his appearance, was walking on Danwang Street and greeted the monks stationed here with familiarity.
"Alchemist Sun, are you back from gathering medicine?"
The monk stationed in Danwan Street is an old foundation-building monk with an excellent memory. He knows the alchemists who live in the neighborhood very well.
This Alchemist Sun moved into Alchemy King Street with his family the year before the beast wave. He is a second-level alchemist with a neither high nor low level.
However, unlike most alchemists who came to Fucheng to take refuge, he did not accept the solicitation of the Fucheng family and seemed to be a loner.
But its level is very good, and some second-level high-grade elixirs are also produced from time to time, so they can afford the high rent on Danwang Street.
However, without the support of his family, he would often have to travel for a period of time just to get a few elixirs.
Yu Xian replied with a smile and walked into the rented yard.
The outside of the courtyard is unremarkable, but inside the courtyard there is actually a fog prison array that he personally arranged. Not only is it highly concealed, even Jin Dan Zhenren has to be blocked for a while when he comes in.
In the courtyard, Magnolia was lying down and whispering in the ear of a white tiger, but she saw the white tiger's hair stand on end and let out an aggrieved whimper.
"Ms. sir."
Yulan was stunned for a moment, then turned her head in surprise, and saw Yu Xian smiling at her and opening his arms.
Snap!
Magnolia was tied to Yu Xian's body like an octopus.
"My husband, I'm so bored here. Sister Han'er has been helping my husband make elixirs all day long, and I don't dare to disturb her. I only have A-meow to accompany me."
Yu Lan lay in Yu Xian's arms and said aggrievedly.
"Then I will find more time to accompany you. When the beast tide is over, I will take you out to have fun."
Yu Xian comforted him softly.
Yulan can be said to be his only weakness. When carrying out such an operation where someone can kill the whole family at any time, it is natural that he can do it without being exposed.
Even if he thinks he's hiding his identity well, there's nothing wrong with being careful.
Yulan knew the importance of it, so she hummed softly and said softly:
"You don't have to come often. As long as you come to see me occasionally, Magnolia will be very happy."
"Then come here occasionally."
Yu Xian said jokingly.
Yulan's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she said angrily:
"My husband is just playing tricks on me. I will bite you to death."
She opened her mouth and bit her teeth lightly on Yu Xian's shoulder, like a cat.
Lying on the ground, lazily like his mother, Amiao covered his eyes with both paws, but the cracks were exposed, flashing with a very human Bagua sheen.
As a well-read tiger demon, he has watched countless dramas involving talented people and beautiful women.
Especially Yu Xian and Yulan never regarded it as a human being.
Most of the time, the operations are not too taboo, which is eye-opening. I just feel that the knowledge in the book is not as rich as what I see with my own eyes.
Yu Xian and Yu Lan made out for a while, then took her hand and walked into the alchemy room.
The climate in the room is slightly cool, and only the alchemy furnace in the center is shining with fire. The light is warm and has a heavy feeling of the earth. It is the spiritual fire yellow mud fire.
After years of cultivation and refining, its spirituality and firepower have become more mellow and pure.
Luo Han, on the other hand, was sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace with her eyes closed tightly. The aura on her body was faintly connected with the alchemy furnace. As the elixir in the furnace gradually took shape, her aura also strengthened slightly.
After more than ten years of practicing the Five Elements Yuan Dan for Yu Xian, her cultivation level broke through to the late stage of foundation building a few years ago, directly surpassing Yu Lan.
After all, her technique is special, and her improvement in cultivation is related to alchemy.
And the Five Elements Yuan Dan that Yu Xian asked her to refine costs millions of spirit stones per furnace, which is equivalent to a large furnace of tonic pills for her.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Yu Xian took advantage of the rare leisure time to hold Yu Lan and whisper to the side. From time to time, Yu Lan covered her mouth and suppressed a smile, fearing that it would disturb Luo Han's alchemy.
Even if Yu Xian said that the elixir has passed the most critical stage of melting the elixir at this moment, it doesn't matter if there is some movement.
About half an hour later.
Luo Han's aura was disconnected from the alchemy furnace, and the spiritual energy lingering outside his body gradually became silent.
"The elixir hasn't been refined yet, why are you here?"
Seeing Yu Xian, Luo Han's eyes were still a little confused.
Refining pills day and night, although it helped her practice, it also made her brain become single-threaded, and her speech felt a little careless.
When Yu Xian heard this, he pretended to be displeased.
"I miss you, why can't I come and see you?"
Only then did Luo Han react and laughed angrily.
"If you really feel sorry for me, don't let me practice the Five Elements Yuan Dan anymore. I'm going to vomit."
Anyone who refines the same elixir for more than ten years will get bored.
Yu Xian quickly laughed: "Who allowed me to marry a good wife? If it weren't for my poor skills, I would really hate to see you working so hard."
Luo Han stood up and walked to Yu Xian. He and Yu Lan sat on Yu Xian's lap, occupying half of the embrace. He rubbed his head comfortably and his voice was a little lazy.
"It's not too hard, just a little boring."
"But if I can help you, I think it's okay. And I don't trust such a precious elixir being left to others to refine."
Yu Lan, who was next to Luo Han's cheek, closed her eyes and pretended to be dead, saying that she was a little waste.
However, she had long accepted this fact, so she didn't find Luo Han's words to be harsh or heartbreaking.
Yu Xian stroked Luo Han's long hair from top to bottom like he was petting a cat, and said softly:
"It'll be fine in a few years, wait until I come to pick you up."
If you want to refine the Five Elements Yuan Dan, you must at least be at the level of a third-level alchemist. If you want to be completely sure, you must be a third-level alchemist.
The third-level alchemist is already a guest of all major forces, and each has its own circle of origin.
If you want to find a third-level alchemist that you trust completely (for free), you can only rely on fate.
So for the time being, we have to rely on Luo Han and Wu Patriarch.
With sufficient materials, these two alchemists can provide him with up to eight heretic golden elixirs in one year.
It used to be more than enough, and I could even extend my half-year vacation every year.
Now it's a bit stretched.
There was no way, the local monks were too enthusiastic and rushed to give him spiritual stones.
For the first time, Yu Xian felt that having too many spirit stones was a happy worry.
Originally he wanted Luo Han to work overtime, but seeing her look like this, he couldn't say anything.
So I had to suffer from Patriarch Wu.
My own woman feels pain at home, but no one cares about my bad old man.
On this day, the three of them had a heated and tender conversation, let alone talking about it.
So far, he has been practicing cultivation and has never had the experience of taking off his pants and not putting them on.
…
the next day.
The yawning Yi Xian transformed into Alchemist Sun and came to the courtyard of his neighbor Wu Laozu not far away.
Yu Xian opened the formation and entered the house in a familiar manner. He heard the voices of Patriarch Wu and several women, which were extremely dissolute.
"Old Alchemist, it can turn!"
Suddenly a woman exclaimed, as if she had seen something incredible.
Yu Xian: "..."
Good guy, he thought that Patriarch Wu was treating him like a cow and a horse, and he was tortured to the point of misery. He didn't expect that he was having so much fun in private.
The burden is still not heavy enough.
Yu Xian unconsciously assumed the role of the black-hearted boss.
This kind of boss, when he sees that his employees are actually happier than the boss, he becomes very upset and has to find something to do.
Yu Xian shook his head, throwing the thoughts of such a dark villain out of his mind.
"Employees can complete work tasks quickly without making mistakes. What's wrong with having a little hobby in private? Yu Xian, Yu Xian, how can you be so petty."
"You are giving Wu Daoyou more responsibilities to hone his professional skills. It is a helpful help to him personally and to the collective."
"Yes, it is like that."
Yu Xian successfully convinced himself.
Then he coughed twice.
The sound was not loud, but just enough for people inside to hear it.
There were rustling sounds inside the house, as well as Patriarch Wu’s urging.
"hurry up."
After a while, the disheveled Old Ancestor Wu opened the door with a guilty expression on his face as if he had been caught in bed.
"It turns out...it's Alchemist Sun."
Patriarch Wu clamped his shell and showed an awkward smile.
Yu Xian said: "Sun returned from abroad not long ago. He wanted to ask fellow Taoist Wu for advice, but he came at an unexpected time."
"What a coincidence."
Patriarch Wu smiled and then opened the door completely.
"Master Sun is a rare visitor, Hongmei, please hurry up and go back first."
Three pretty female cultivators walked out of the inner room, with graceful figures and coquettish figures. At first glance, they looked like goblins who would knock bones and suck out marrow.
"Old alchemist, if you want to play with us sisters next time, just pass the magic talisman and send a message."
The female cultivator named Hongmei did not forget to give Yu Xian a wink before she left.
"This alchemist, you can do it if you like. The address is at the old alchemist's place."
Then he took the two sisters and left with a sweet smile.
Yu Xian is proficient in the art of dual cultivation, and it can be seen at a glance that these women have practiced the art of charm, and even have some tonic taste.
Looking at Patriarch Wu, although he is in good spirits, it is not difficult to see that his eye sockets are sunken and he feels a little low on energy.
Thanks to Patriarch Wu, he is already a fake elixir master. Ordinary monks may not be able to handle even one, and he has to fight three of them.
He couldn't help but frown.
Play for fun, don't waste your body, it will delay your work.
When Yu Xian walked into the room, he smelled a special smell. It was obvious that Old Ancestor Wu and them were fighting each other with real swords and guns, and they were not just trying to make others drool all over them.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, with your eyesight, can't you still see their true identity?"
Patriarch Wu smiled and used a cleaning technique to disperse the odor in the room.
"Master Manager, I am living in a different place, and now I only have these little hobbies. I don't think I know what they want.
Moreover, they even refused to accept the spirit stones from me, so they tried their best to suck a few breaths of essence from me.
Girls who work so hard, how can I bear to let them go away disappointed. "
As he spoke, Patriarch Wu turned his hand and took out a cinnabar-red elixir and put it in his mouth. Then he let out a long and comfortable groan, and the black energy between his brows dissipated.
The little energy he had consumed was instantly replenished.
Yu Xian couldn't help but smile.
The relationship is that Patriarch Wu prostitutes other girls for free.
They thought they were getting a big advantage, that there was a fool who was obsessed with their bodies and didn't care if his semen was sucked out of them.
But Patriarch Wu paid a little bit of bait and got better service.
Whether you gain or lose depends on your own calculation.
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on."
Yu Xian threw a storage bag on the table and said:
"I came to you this time for nothing else. I just wanted to give you materials. It's still the old rule, one piece of material and one Five Elements Yuan Dan."
Patriarch Wu took it casually, thinking it would be the same as before. After taking it and scanning it with his spiritual consciousness, his face immediately turned green.
"Master Manager, did you take it by mistake? Alchemist Luo's share was also given to me?"
His voice trembled.
"That's right, the current situation is tense recently, and the demand for heretic golden elixirs is very high. I have no choice but to find you for help.
Fellow Daoist Wu, don’t worry, you’ll be fine as soon as you finish these two years. "
Yu Xian sighed, looking like I was in trouble too.
"If possible, I don't want to squeeze your time like this. I am also an alchemist. I know that the most important thing for an alchemist to make an alchemy is to control the heat. There is no need to rush.
But time waits for no one. "
"Of course, if you can find someone to help you make elixirs, I can also pay some cost for the work as appropriate."
Patriarch Wu fell into deep thought.
His alchemy skills may not be as good as Luo Han's today, but in terms of refining the Five Elements Yuan Dan alone, he thinks he has reached the level of a master.
After all, every time he was refining, he had the mentality that he could not afford to lose, devoted himself wholeheartedly, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
The result of this is that he is no longer familiar with the Five Elements Yuan Dan, and the refining time has been shortened a lot.
That's why I have so much leisure time.
These days, he doesn't use all of his time to satisfy his little hobbies. He also visits in private. He has some friendship with other neighbors on Danwang Street, and can even be said to be like-minded.
After all, he spent most of his time refining alchemy, and those female cultivators had nothing to do with him, so they naturally wanted to find a new cauldron.
Alchemists are not incompetent people. On the contrary, they have been dealing with alchemy furnaces all year round, and they are very angry.
"Master Manager, I don't need to give you this spiritual stone. I just ask someone to make an elixir. You must give me the elixir recipe, and there is no guarantee of success rate.
After all, they are not old men, so they cannot do their best. "
Patriarch Wu thought about it and gave up the idea of making profits as a middleman.
As he said, the alchemist's rule is to charge a fee if the alchemy is successful, and no compensation will be paid if the alchemy is damaged.
If he cannot hand over a sufficient amount of Five Elements Yuan Dan, he will not be the one to compensate, and the agency fee may not be enough to compensate him in the end.
When Yu Xian heard this, his teeth suddenly became sore.
"Made, what a violation of the rules!"
When he was an alchemist, he felt that this rule was so wonderful, it was tailor-made for alchemists.
But when he asked others to make elixirs, he felt like he had a fucking overlord clause.
"In this case, Fellow Daoist Wu, you can rest assured and refine the elixir. It doesn't matter if the time is slower, but the rate of elixir formation must be guaranteed."
Yu Xian knew that the beast tide could only last for a few years. Now most of the big shots' eyes were attracted by the beast tide, so no one noticed the turmoil in a small city.
When the beast tide is over, everyone has come to their senses and has the time and ability to pay attention to the gossip.
I'm afraid it won't be long before the news that Datong will forcefully attract hundreds of millions of spiritual stones will spread to many people's ears.
Although he could run away when the time came, he really didn't want to do it unless he had to.
…
This line will end soon, follow up
