Chapter 84: Profiteer
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The furnace that Zheng Jingshan had prepared was naturally much better than the D-grade alchemy room that Pei Ling had rented on Elixir Peak.
However, at this moment, not only were there two pitiful Bone Tempering Pills lying at the bottom of the huge furnace, but even the pill fragrance that lingered in the room when they were first produced had disappeared.
Pei Ling’s expression could not help but darken. Did I miss anything?
Did the system refine a defective product this time?
However, when he picked up the two Bone Tempering Pills and observed them carefully, he saw that the pills were emitting a faint glow. The color was not grayish-white, but milky white.
The crystal clear feeling was even stronger. There were circles of azure patterns on the surface that looked like cats’ eyes.
This made Pei Ling hesitate.
They don’t seem like useless pills…
As Zheng Jingshan was not around, Pei Ling could not find anyone to ask. After thinking for a while, he decided to cultivate first.
Anyway, he did not lack one or two Bone Tempering Pills now.
It did not matter even if he failed.
At the thought of this, Pei Ling called out in his mind, “System, I want to cultivate the [Bone Forging Art].”
“Ding-Dong!” The system quickly went online. Next was the familiar control of the body. “The Smart Cultivation System is at your service. Bone Tempering Pill is missing. Please wait a moment…”
“Ding-Dong! The system will give you the Bone Tempering Pill for free…”
The system controlled Pei Ling’s body to grab the Bone Tempering Pill in the furnace.
Pei Ling watched worriedly. There were too few pills this time.
I wonder if it’s enough?
However, on second thought, this was Kulan Courtyard, Zheng Jingshan’s residence. This Senior Brother Zheng must also have Bone Tempering Pills.
If it was not enough, the system would find them on its own.
In any case, his relationship with Zheng Jingshan was no longer the same as before. At most, he would refine a few furnaces to make up for it after he finished cultivating.
At the thought of this, he felt relieved. Unexpectedly, the system only grabbed a Bone Tempering Pill from the bottom of the furnace and stuffed it into his mouth. “Ding Dong! The Bone Tempering Pill has been gifted. Continue cultivating now…”
Why only one?
Pei Ling could not help but be stunned. “System, are you broken?”
Are both its alchemy and cultivation functions malfunctioning???
Just as he was feeling worried, after consuming this Bone Tempering Pill, a ball of fire rose from his dantian!
A huge medicinal power quickly surged to his limbs and bones.
Pei Ling felt as if his entire body was on fire. The Cold Marrow Fire that he had just subdued was stirring in his eyes, glowing with a faint blue light.
At this moment, the system began to cultivate the Bone Forging Art. The silent room was instantly filled with the sound of bones breaking and regenerating, making one’s teeth ache and muscles go weak.
With the experience of absorbing fire into his body, this kind of pain was already common to Pei Ling.
He sensed carefully and could not help but be surprised. His bone honing speed was so fast!
If he used a superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill to temper his bones like a flowing stream, the spiritual power in his body was like a surging river.
It crushed the bones that had yet to turn into jade in front of it in a matter-of-fact manner and then nourished them at an extremely fast speed.
This cultivation session lasted twice as long as before!
The system was still ringing in his ears. “This cultivation session is over. Thank you for using the smart cultivation system. You have ascended without a worry with a single click! I look forward to you sharing your cultivation evaluation. If you are satisfied, please give me a five-star rating!”
Pei Ling regained his mobility. He first gave the system a three-star rating before stretching his muscles.
He realized that the pain in his meridians caused by the drying up of his spiritual power had long disappeared.
His entire body was filled with power.
The injuries he had suffered in the Skeletal Crane Swamp had long recovered.
With a slight push, one could see that his muscles were filled with spiritual energy. He was full of energy and could not be in a better state.
After a careful inspection, he realized that there were not many foreign objects expelled from his pores during this cultivation…
Pei Ling was shocked. This furnace had only produced two Bone Tempering Pills, but one of them was actually more effective than more than a dozen superior-grade Bone Tempering Pills.
No wonder the system only took one for him this time.
If it was like before, it would use as much as it could. His body probably could not withstand it at all!
Just from this cultivation, his cultivation level that had improved greatly had reached another milestone.
Although there was still a long way to go before he could break through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement, it still excited Pei Ling. He packed up a little and continued refining pills.
A day and night passed in the blink of an eye.
When dawn broke, Pei Ling fell to the ground, panting slightly, but his face was filled with joy.
In front of him were two porcelain bottles, each containing 10 Bone Tempering Pills.
One of them was for Zheng Jingshan to sell, while the other was for his own use.
If he used up all 10 Bone Tempering Pills, his cultivation level would definitely improve greatly.
With that, 70% of Qi Refinement was just around the corner.
System cultivation was simply a divine artifact!
Other than being more troublesome, there were no other flaws.
Pei Ling silently gave the system a thumbs up in his heart before giving it a one-star rating.
He put away a bottle of pills and was about to rest when a puppet servant reported that Zheng Jingshan had returned.
“Senior Brother.” Pei Ling hurriedly went out. “You’re back?”
Zheng Jingshan looked exhausted. As soon as he sat down, he picked up the spiritual tea served by the attendant and took a big sip before saying, “Junior Brother Pei, fortunately, I didn’t disappoint you. I’ve already discussed the sale and price with Elder Qiu.”
So this senior brother went out yesterday to find a buyer for the superior-grade Bone Tempering Pills?
Pei Ling hurriedly said that he had worked hard and asked about the outcome.
“Elder Qiu is one of the elders of my inner sect’s Disciplinary Hall.” Zheng Jingshan smiled slightly, looking rather pleased with himself. “In terms of combat strength, he’s considered second to none among the inner sect elders. It’s just that this elder’s family background is not good. He has only one descendant. Moreover, his descendants have very mediocre talent for two generations and have long died of old age.
The person he’s raising now is his only surviving great-grandson, Qiu Song. He’s only six years old, and he needs a large number of superior-grade Bone Tempering Pills to build his foundation.”
At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, “I’ve already discussed it with him. 70 inferior-grade Spirit Stones for a superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill. He’ll take as many as he wants.”
“70 inferior-grade Spirit Stones?” Pei Ling was stunned. “When I sold them to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion previously, they gave me 55 inferior-grade Spirit Stones.”
Zheng Jingshan was not surprised by this. He chuckled and said, “That’s the Hundred Treasures Pavilion’s cost price, so it’s naturally low. If they sell a superior-grade Bone Tempering Pill, it will definitely not be less than 100 inferior-grade Spirit Stones! I’m already giving Elder Qiu face by selling the pill at 70 inferior-grade Spirit Stones to him.”
Indeed, there was no harm in building a good relationship with an inner sect elder.
As Pei Ling was thinking this, he heard Zheng Jingshan say, “After all, Junior Brother, you’ve already sold a batch of superior-grade Bone Tempering Pills to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. If we sell them at too high a price now, perhaps Elder Qiu would rather buy them from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. There’s a discount for inner sect elders there. When this batch of the Bone Tempering Pills is consumed, we’ll raise the price again. At that time, it will be 120 inferior-grade Spirit Stones per pill.”
120 inferior-grade Spirit Stones?
Isn’t this daylight robbery?!
No, with my efficiency in refining pills, robbery might not even be able to fetch spirit stones so quickly!
What kind of rich and stupid cultivator would buy at this price?
“Then will Elder Qiu accept the price?” Pei Ling asked nervously.
Zheng Jingshan smiled disdainfully and said, “He has to accept it even if he doesn’t want to! He only has one great-grandson. If he doesn’t spend spirit stones on Qiu Song, who else can he spend them on? Moreover, there are other alchemists in the sect who can refine superior-grade Bone Tempering Pills. The problem is that it will delay their refinement of highly priced pills.”
“Elder Qiu does have connections, but he can’t push the price too low. And he’ll be owing favors.”
So, 120 inferior-grade Spirit Stones.
Pei Ling heaved a sigh of relief and smiled sincerely. He was relieved that the profits were so high!
In this kind of netherworld sect, the friendship between fellow disciples was fleeting. They might not have good intentions, but benefits would not lie.
Now that they had just started working together, Zheng Jingshan even schemed against an inner sect elder. In the future, if anyone wanted to touch him, Zheng Jingshan would definitely not sit back and do nothing.
It didn’t matter if he was a junior brother or not. Being a money tree was the most important thing!
He pondered for a moment and asked, “Senior Brother Zheng, then how should we split the spirit stones?”
