Chapter 64 Killing someone by destroying their spirit
Jian Wu and Jian You are twins.
They have had a telepathic connection since childhood, knowing each other's joys and sorrows.
To sense whether the other party is in danger.
To sense whether the other party has murderous intent.
Jian is indifferent and aloof, except for his obsession with strength; he doesn't take anything else to heart.
After he became the sect leader of the Tianyi Sword Sect, Jian Wu would occasionally meddle in worldly affairs in order to help him.
"You want to recruit him?"
"No, I think you should send someone to learn the art of alchemy from her. She is an unparalleled genius that even Master Mu acknowledges. Master Mu will also seek her out to learn the art of full-furnace alchemy."
Jian was uncertain: "Master Mu? Mu Sen of the Lingyun Sect."
If even Master Mu is learning this, then this person's alchemy skills must have reached their peak.
Master Mu will master the Furnace Technique and within fifty years, he will quickly widen the gap between himself and the other three sects.
"Can't we recruit them?"
"She's a rogue cultivator, with no family ties and no lifespan. Given her physical condition, she won't live past twenty years. She cares about nothing but spirit stones."
She's willing to teach; just send someone to learn.
However, the person sent must be chosen carefully; they cannot be arrogant, too stupid, or have a sharp tongue.
Ha, you almost named those two people who can't go.
Jian You glanced at Jian Wu; it was rare to see him so protective of someone.
"Okay, I'll think about it carefully and decide who to choose."
Jian paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Can't we send a few more? What if the person we send doesn't learn it..."
"It doesn't say that only one person can go. It doesn't matter how many people go, as long as you have that many spirit stones."
"What does this have to do with spirit stones?"
"Didn't I tell you? Sending someone to learn will cost one million mid-grade spirit stones in tuition."
"Crack!"
Something broke.
Jane thought she had misheard.
"One million mid-grade spirit stones?"
"Hmm, I think it's still too little. She refines third-grade pills every month and earns 2.1 million low-grade spirit stones. If it were fourth-grade, fifth-grade... seventh-grade pills, that million mid-grade spirit stones would be nothing."
Jian had already talked until her mouth was dry and didn't want to waste any more words.
"Take your time to think it over, I'll go sell these pills."
"Isn't this for me?"
Jian Wu: Do I look like an idiot to you?
Jianyou: ...
After Jian Wu left, Jian You considered the pros and cons of the matter.
"Cheng Nan, go sell the pills."
"This... okay, this pricing?"
Cheng Nan had never done this before, but he couldn't disobey his master's orders.
"Superior grade, 1200; top grade, 15000."
"Yes, Master."
Jian Wu sighed silently; this kid still needs more experience.
Cheng Nan sent a message to Geng Yu to inquire about the sale of the pills.
Upon learning the outcome, he was completely petrified.
A thousand third-tier pills were sold out in less than an hour.
Thinking of the method Geng Yu mentioned, Cheng Nan became a little nervous.
He closed his eyes, went all out, and shouted: "High-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, 1200 each; Top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, 15,000 each."
"A high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill costs 1,200 each, while a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill costs 15,000 each."
Just as he was about to call out for the third time, his sleeve was tugged.
Cheng Nan opened his eyes and looked at the dense crowd, so frightened that he took two steps back.
"Senior Brother Cheng, are you telling the truth?"
Cheng Nan nodded: "Yes, I'm here to help my master sell them."
"Senior Brother Cheng, I need a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."
"Senior brother, I want one too."
Cheng Nan: ...What happened to the rule that all sword cultivators are poor?
"Well, there are only three top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills."
"Senior brother, sell it to me, I want it. I'm already on my second Foundation Establishment stage, with this top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, I'll be all set."
"Senior brother, if you sell it to me, I can pay an extra three hundred low-grade spirit stones. Is that alright?"
"You're too cunning. I'll add another five hundred."
"Senior brother, look at me, I'll add another thousand."
"I'll add two thousand more, I'll offer seventeen thousand."
Everyone else shut up.
Cheng Nan accepted the spirit stone and handed a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill to the bidder.
The man took it, put it directly into his mouth, and it melted instantly.
He wanted to taste what a top-grade elixir was like, and in the blink of an eye, he had refined it.
No one else expected this person to be so reckless.
Cheng Nan hurriedly evacuated the crowd.
In less than fifteen minutes, this man's momentum increased dramatically.
"Successful so quickly? No wonder it's a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."
"Ugh, why does it smell so bad? Look, he's expelling impurities from his body. Cough cough, this top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill is really powerful, isn't it? He's cleared all the impurities out of his body, hasn't he?"
"Impossible, don't you even know who he is?"
"I remember now, he's Bu Chenggong, the one who failed to reach the Foundation Establishment stage seven times!"
"Yes, I heard he only had a few years left to live. If he weren't their only son and all their resources were focused on him, they would have given up long ago. I never expected him to succeed like this."
"This top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill is amazing! I want to buy one too. Senior Brother Cheng, I want to buy a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."
Cheng Nan waved his hand sheepishly, "The top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills are all sold out, except for these two."
Only then did everyone notice that there were two other people meditating.
"Are there any high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills left?"
"Yes, the success rate is 70%."
"Senior brother, give me one."
A group of people scrambled and fought, leaving Cheng Nan with only half of the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.
Suddenly, a burst of unrestrained laughter erupted from the crowd.
"Hahaha, I never thought I, Bu Chenggong, would actually succeed. Seventy percent of the impurities in my body have been expelled, and I, Bu Chenggong, am alive again."
"Senior Brother Bu, is it really 70%?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you?"
"If there are no top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, there are still high-grade ones. Let's go! If we miss the high-grade ones, we can only buy mid-grade ones."
Cheng Nan looked at the ever-increasing number of spirit stones in his hand, his disheveled hair, his crooked robes, and his loose belt.
"The top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills are sold out; only other top-grade pills are available..."
"Senior Brother Cheng, stop talking. I'll buy whatever's top-grade, I won't lose out."
"Yes, buy it, we must buy it."
Cheng Nan stared blankly at the two empty wooden basins in front of him for a moment, then packed up the basins and spirit stones and ran away.
Jian Wu stared blankly at Cheng Nan, who was disheveled, for a moment, unable to react.
Is this still his somewhat timid and old-fashioned apprentice?
"Let's tidy it up first."
"Yes, Master."
After Cheng Nan finished tidying up, he returned the two wooden basins and spirit stones to Jian Wu.
“Master, these are the spirit stones from this sale of pills. A total of 1.23 million. Tu Shan said that if we sell the spirit stones, we have to give her 20% of the profits.”
Jian Wu kept the 1.1 million and gave the remaining 130,000 to Cheng Nan.
“Give her 46,000, and the rest will be your reward.”
“But Master, I didn’t give you any spirit stones for my own top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.”
Jian Wu: "...It's alright. Master will give each of you, my fellow disciples, a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."
He calculated that he didn't spend any spirit stones. He went there for 1.1 million and came back for 1.1 million, with an extra two top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills to give to his disciple.
"Go, and cultivate diligently."
Cheng Nan left and immediately took out his spirit jade to share with Geng Yu the good news that he had earned 92,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Geng Yu: ...
Killing people and killing people is nothing more than that.
He worked himself to the bone, but he didn't even earn half as much as this brat.
Look at other people's masters, and then look at his stinky old man.
They can't be compared.
No, I need to find a way to learn alchemy from the little mute girl; that's the fastest way for her to earn spirit stones.
