Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

Chapter 990: Chapter 462: Obtaining the Earth Gourd; Domineering Master

Qing Jun took action, and success followed naturally!

As expected,

Mao Cheng agreed to Chen Ye’s proposal, and henceforth the Mao Family Trading Team will be restructured, with Chen Ye’s Pills as the core, gradually transforming the business.

“However…”

Mao Cheng calmed down. He was a seasoned individual, often considering all aspects when thinking about things,

“Although high-tier premium Pills can gain quick fame and attract the attention of countless prestigious Great Cultivators, even just supporting a single shop in the Moon Rhinoceros Lake District requires a huge number of regular Pills each month. Not to mention those Top-Grade Elixirs, an ordinary Alchemist would need to spend several days of effort to refine a single batch, and the success rate is often very low. If we can’t supply enough, the reputation of the business will quickly decline.”

His concern,

was within Chen Ye’s expectations.

Yet, a strange feeling couldn’t help but arise in Chen Ye’s heart.

If this old-fashioned uncle knew his actual production capacity, he wouldn’t be worried now, he would be shocked to his core.

Ever since lighting up the Star of Suppression, Saturn, and adding the five-colored light ball,

Chen Ye’s current stamina and Divine Sense recovery speed have reached an almost godlike level.

Now, he can almost maintain a high-intensity refining state year-round.

With the Purple Sun Pills used by Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he could easily refine ten batches in a day, with about ten Pills formed per batch!

In one day, that’s a total of one hundred Purple Sun Pills!

It’s worth noting that a typical Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even if they didn’t lack Spirit Stones, would take several days to digest just one Pill.

Producing a hundred per day already satisfies a large market, after all, Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators aren’t as common as cabbages…

As for the Condensation Pills suitable for Late-stage Foundation Establishment usage, although the current proficiency isn’t very high and the production needs to be halved, with fewer Pills formed per batch, that is only for himself. When compared to the entire Cultivation Realm, his production is enough to make all fellow Alchemists feel utterly ashamed.

Of course, these trump cards cannot be spoken of directly.

Chen Ye collected his thoughts, looked up at the worried Mao Cheng with a gentle smile, and said:

“Uncle, about the supply issue, you can rest assured. Since Chen dares to draft this blueprint, naturally there is an unimaginable foundation in his hand. As long as the Mao Family can keep up with the supply of Spirit Plant materials, the Pills, no matter how many, can be produced.”

With that said,

he brought out another Storage Bag.

Within the Storage Bag were exactly two hundred Purple Sun Pills!

These were all refined during his spare time earlier, if not for the lack of Spirit Stones at hand, this quantity could have doubled!

“Hiss… Two hundred One-Stripe Purple Sun Pills, even in the Ruins Country, this business can be done!”

Mao Cheng immediately let go of all doubts!

…

With these two hundred One-Stripe Purple Sun Pills as confidence, Mao Cheng immediately gathered several core stewards of the clan to discuss the detailed plans for the trading team’s restructuring and transformation overnight.

In this process,

Chen Ye didn’t need to worry.

From now on,

he only needs to get the Spirit Plants from the Mao Family, refine them into Pills, then hand them over to the Mao Family for operation and sales, and take a cut in return.

About a two-hour later, Mao Cheng gave some general instructions, and the stewards left with their orders, leaving the hall quiet once again.

On the table, the aroma of tea lingered, and the Spirit Lamp flickered like a bean.

Seeing that the business was settled, Chen Ye was not in a hurry to leave. He put down the teacup, turned his gaze, and finally fell on the yellow gourd hanging from Mao Cheng’s waist.

“Uncle, since the matter of the business has been settled, I have another matter to ask.”

Chen Ye raised his eyes with a frank expression.

“Oh? Little Friend Chen, feel free to speak, as long as it’s something I can do, I will not refuse.”

Mao Cheng was in a very good mood at this time, patting his chest as a guarantee.

Chen Ye nodded slightly and pointed to Mao Cheng’s waist: “Uncle, to be honest, I am here on behalf of my disciple Zhiwei, to ask for the sword hanging at your waist—the Earth Gourd Sword.”

As soon as these words came out,

Mao Cheng, who had been smiling happily, had a flicker in his eyes.

This Earth Gourd Sword was no ordinary item.

It is a Tier Two Top Grade Spirit Sword, and it is the only Tier Two Top Grade Magical Treasure that the Mao Family has obtained from the Heart Slaughter Cave over the years.

This sword is of great significance to the Mao Family, it is the town treasure of the Mao Family, enough to represent the identity of the Family Head of the Mao Family.

Mao Cheng was silent for a long time, and suddenly he shook his head with a smile, that smile carrying a bit of relief:

“So… Little Friend Chen came for this matter. Actually, I should have thought of it earlier. When Zhiwei walked out of the Heart Slaughter Cave, I had already vaguely sensed it. She not only gained the Sword Intent of the Great Wind and Thunder Sword but also took away three Gourd Swords from the cave at once, right?”

Mao Cheng could see that this was within Chen Ye’s expectations.

After all… Zhiwei has three small gourds hanging from her waist, unless Mao Cheng was blind, he would surely notice.

In the past,

the reason he did not inquire was that he strictly adhered to a tacit acknowledgment.

“Yes, that’s exactly it…” Chen Ye nodded.

“Zhiwei is exceptionally talented, especially with that pure and fierce Sword Intent. Hmm… With her talent, it is not surprising that she attracted the Sword Intent of the Heart Slaughter Sword Master. Little Friend Chen, to be honest, when I first saw Zhiwei, the Earth Gourd Sword was almost uncontrollably flying from me, with the Gourd Sword already recognizing her as the successor of the lineage,”

Mao Cheng gently stroked the Earth Gourd Sword at his waist, his tone reverent,

“Our Mao Family has only been able to endure in the Moon Rhinoceros Lake District for a thousand years because we inherited the remnants of the Heart Slaughter Sword Master. My Mao Family, we would never be ungrateful. Since the Heart Slaughter Sword Master’s transmission has chosen its leader, this Earth Gourd Sword, originally of the same source, should return to its rightful master, to accompany her into broader fields of the Lingxu Realm, rather than gathering dust with me, a cripple confined to the Divine Mist Valley.”
