The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Jing Yan’s Conception Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Jing Yan’s Conception Jing Chenxing had originally planned to spend ten years turning the Radiant Weapon Shop into the most prestigious weapon shop in the West District Square.

But even the weapon shop with the largest turnover and scale in the square couldn’t compare to an ordinary medicine store.

In fact, the two were not even in the same league.

Any martial artist would be crystal clear about this distinction, as was Jing Chenxing.

Now, the Pill Tower that Jing Yan wanted to build, which would cover an area of one thousand square meters—how much spirit stone investment would that require?

At the very least, wouldn’t it need several hundred thousand spirit stones?

Yet Jing Yan was entrusting the management of this Pill Tower directly to him, Jing Chenxing.

How much trust did that entail?

“Jing Yan, doesn’t this seem a bit improper?”

When Jing Chenxing came to his senses, his first thought was to refuse.

He feared he would not be able to manage the Pill Tower well!

“Uncle Chenxing, listen to me first,” Jing Yan said with a smile, looking at Jing Chenxing, “I’m building this Pill Tower entirely on my own, without much involvement from the family.

Ultimately, regardless of how it’s run, you won’t need to bear any burdens.

You should know that I will be dedicating my personal time to cultivation and won’t have any extra energy to manage the business affairs of the Pill Tower.

I’m asking you, Uncle Chenxing, if you could help me run the business.”

Jing Yan’s gaze towards Jing Chenxing was incredibly sincere, reflecting his heartfelt thoughts.

Of course, in Jing Yan’s view, it was impossible for his Pill Tower to be unprofitable.

With his method of concocting medicine, how could any medicine store in Donglin City possibly compete with him?

Jing Yan had also seen the state of affairs at the Radiant Weapon Shop in the West District Square.

He was confident that Jing Chenxing’s talent and ability in management could certainly take good care of the Pill Tower business.

“This…” Jing Chenxing still frowned slightly, feeling the responsibility was too great.

If it was a business involving a few thousand spirit stones, he would have some confidence.

But this was a business involving several hundred thousand spirit stones—what if he messed it up?

How could he explain it to Jing Yan?

“Uncle Chenxing, my Brother Qing Yan is a pharmacist, isn’t he?

Why don’t you call Qing Yan back to help out at the Pill Tower?

I have done some research on medicine concoction and would like to share it with Brother Qing Yan.

I believe it will benefit his future path,” Jing Yan said with another smile.

“What?

Jing Yan, you’ve also studied medicine concoction?” Jing Tianying’s eyes widened a little.

He did not know, nor had he ever heard that Jing Yan had researched medicine concoction.

If it had been anyone else, Jing Chenxing might have thought they were boastfully talking nonsense, but if it was Jing Yan who said it, he felt it must be true.

But when had Jing Yan started studying medicine concoction?

Jing Yan’s prodigious talents were staggering indeed.

Not only was his cultivation progressing so swiftly, with such formidable strength, but he could also concoct medicine?

Becoming a pharmacist was certainly no small feat!

“Yes, I have spent some time studying medicine concoction and have garnered quite a few insights,” Jing Yan said with a smile, looking at the Fourth Elder Jing Tianying.

In fact, he himself had no real research on medicine concoction.

His ability to master the concoction of medicine was due solely to the information about the Qiankun Pill Path absorbed in the Qiankun Space.

Although Jing Yan had not yet verified the efficacy of the medicines produced through the Qiankun Alchemy Dao, a moment’s thought made it clear—how could the Qiankun Alchemy Dao be mediocre when the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill was so extraordinary?

Jing Yan also planned to finalize the chosen location and then go to the First Floor to buy a large quantity of materials.

After that, he would try to concoct some medicine and first determine the effects of the medicines he produced before setting prices and classifications.

Jing Yan had to understand these details as well.

Hearing Jing Yan’s words, Jing Chenxing’s eyes immediately lit up.

His son, Jing Qingyan, was indeed a pharmacist, but Jing Qingyan’s situation was rather awkward.

Without the guidance of a senior pharmacist and due to a lack of resources, his path in the field of pharmacy was full of hardships.

Currently, Jing Qingyan was only a low-level pharmacist who could barely concoct some low-grade healing potions, and even the quality of those was not very good.

As everyone knew, becoming a pharmacist required vast resources, not to mention those novices with the guidance of seasoned pharmacists or even Pill Masters.

They needed to use up a lot of materials to gain some experience slowly.

Jing Chenxing heard that Jing Yan had researched concocting medicines and could instruct Jing Qingyan.

How could he not be thrilled?

Would Jing Yan make such a claim if he only knew the rudiments?

Obviously not!

Jing Qingyan was his son!

Naturally, he also hoped that his son would one day stand out from the crowd.

“Jing Yan, I’ll notify Qing Yan to return right away!” Jing Chenxing’s eyes sparkled as he nodded, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

“But the Radiant Weapon Shop…” Jing Chenxing was still concerned about the situation with the Radiant Weapon Shop in the West District Square.

“Uncle Chenxing, you just need to oversee the Radiant Weapon Shop without being involved in every detail.

Take some time to train a few apprentices, and if you need to expand the scale, you can directly purchase higher-grade weapons through other means,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

“That will work!” Jing Chenxing nodded repeatedly.

In fact, he had already been teaching several apprentices to forge weapons.

If he wanted to grow the Radiant Weapon Shop, it was unreasonable to rely on himself to forge all the weapons.

Even if he worked non-stop day and night without food, drink, or sleep until he dropped dead, how many weapons could he forge?

Most of the weapons currently sold at the Radiant Weapon Shop were partially obtained through certain channels and partly forged by his apprentices.

The weapons he personally forged accounted for less than a tenth of the shop’s inventory.

As the shop continued to expand, the proportion of weapons he personally forged would decrease even further.

“Jing Yan, let’s go!

Let’s talk to the owners of those two shops right now!” Jing Tianying said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

On the piece of land Jing Yan had chosen, in addition to the buildings now owned by the Jing Family, there were two shops currently used by outsiders.

The Jing Family couldn’t forcibly evict these two shops without negatively impacting both the workshop’s and the family’s reputation.

Of course, with the power of the Jing Family, they could enforce the eviction if they wanted to.

But that was a last resort, and Jing Yan wouldn’t resort to such measures unless absolutely necessary.

“Let’s go and have a talk!” Jing Yan nodded as well.

Once settled, the next step would be to demolish all the buildings on the land and then rebuild a majestic Pill Tower.

Jing Yan envisioned that within two or three years, he would make this Pill Tower the largest in Donglin City, second to none.

His aim was to utterly crush the Zhao Family.
