Chapter 115: Chapter 103:1 want too_i
Translator: 549690339
Stepping out of the branch of the Four Seas Immortal Palace, the sky was filled with bright sunshine, and the streets outside were bustling with joyous cultivators.
Only Xu Mu’s mood seemed a bit gloomy.
“I didn’t expect to struggle so hard only to end up with another quota limit!”
Although he understood the need to prevent disciples from reselling, he couldn’t help feeling a bit annoyed.
“Well, thirty portions it is!”
Even with the dissatisfaction, he had to accept it.
Fours stars authority was already his limit. To increase it to five stars would require too much time and expense which he couldn’t afford for now.
Luckily, he never expected to make a fortune from this, just to use it as a temporary means of living.
The profit from selling Stay Age Pills was decent, but it was nothing compared to selling Foundation Establishment Pills.
However, just because the profit was small, it didn’t mean it was valueless.
On one hand, it would provide him with some profits under the current situation, so he wouldn’t be too tight on money. After all, he had a family to feed, and his spirit stones were depleting like running water. Without a steady income, he would soon run dry.
On the other hand, it was for establishing new channels.
Top-grade Stay Age Pills served as a spearhead product to enter the market. Once its reputation was established and a steady sales channel was built, selling other pills would be much easier.
He wouldn’t have to face the awkward situation where no one wanted his Foundation Establishment Pills.
“However, managing everything by myself is too laborious, I should establish a proper clan!”
Four-star authority already allowed him to purchase islands in the core area controlled by the Four Seas Immortal Palace, and establish a clan.
With a clan, he could cultivate some trustworthy people and save himself a lot of trouble.
However, purchasing an island was quite expensive and he couldn’t afford it yet.
Of course, if he was willing to, he could establish a clan in the Outer Sea where unoccupied islands were free.
If you were willing to establish a clan there, the Cluster Stars Sect would even offer support.
However, that was a battlefield between the Sea Race and the Human Clan. Establishing a clan there would probably mean living in constant fear.
“Although I can’t afford an island, buying a shop is not a problem!”
When establishing a clan in the future, various talents would be needed. This could serve as a foundation.
Moreover, he had suitable people at hand now.
Soon, a general store named “Baihe” opened on a quiet commercial street in Pursuing Wind City.
The shopkeeper was an old man with a goatee, selling all sorts of items, including pills, talismans, formations, magic artifacts for arranging formations, and even special food for nurturing spiritual beasts.
Occasionally, Loose Cultivators would find valuable items here, such as top- quality Qi Gathering Pills, low-tier magic artifacts that were potent despite some defects, or rare seeds of spiritual medicine.
These items brought this small shop some fame among the lower-level Loose Cultivators in Pursuing Wind City. People would visit every day, so although the profit was not big, they didn’t lose money either.
Of course, the shop was established by Xu Mu. The name was to commemorate the White River City where he once stayed, while the shopkeeper was Zhang Shouren.
He was idle most of the time; besides teaching the kids literacy and calligraphy, he only focused on spiritual medicine. Hearing Xu Mu’s proposal to open a shop, he was overjoyed and agreed immediately.
“I no longer have to be tormented by these troublesome kids!”
Zhang Shouren, who had become a shopkeeper, felt like he was liberated.
It was bearable when it came to his own grandson, he could discipline him when he misbehaved. But he wouldn’t dare to raise a hand against Xu Mu’s four children.
Xu Yin, Xu Sheng, and Xu Xia were alright as they had only recently become sensible. However, Xu Ling, also known as Little Ling’er, was utterly uncontrollable.
Zhang Shouren and Ouyang Ying didn’t dare to punish her, the three women were busy with cultivation for Foundation Establishment and had no time to discipline her, while Xu Mu was either out collecting medicines or in seclusion for cultivation, appearing very rarely.
This had lead to Little Ling’er becoming increasingly unruly, turning into the little devil of the house.
In any case, Zhang Shouren was full of headaches.
Now he’s finally free!
“Brother Ouyang, I can only trouble you now!”
Therefore, only a grim-faced Ouyang Ying was left at home.
As for the items for sale in the shop, they were naturally supplied by the partners.
Zhang Shouren could make talismans and cultivate spiritual medicine, while Lan Shijin could produce and arrange magic artifacts. If the customer was willing to pay the spirit stones, she could even provide installation service at home. Don’t overthink it, it’s just a normal installation, just like when Xu Mu first hired her.
Even without the support of Xu Mu, with Lan Shijin’s arrangement skills, she could live very comfortably. The only inconvenience was the Foundation Establishment.
Ouyang Ying, on the other hand, had a little understanding of everything, and would occasionally produce some random items for sale.
Anyone who could survive on their own in a place like the White River Marketplace must have one or two specialties on hand.
Xu Mu’s main responsibility is alchemy.
He had originally given up on refining low-tier dan medicine, but for the sake of the kids, he had to start doing it again.
That’s because Xu Ling and the others were too young, they couldn’t take tier three and four pills, and the top-quality pills of tier one and two were very popular in the market, causing purchase trouble. So Xu Mu had to do it himself.
Especially the Jade Marrow Pill that could improve physique, he had upgraded it directly to the transcendent level. Not only was there no toxic side effect, but the effect was also increased by a level.
Xu Mu referred to this beyond-top-quality pill as beyond-top-grade.
It was precisely because of taking this beyond-top-grade Jade Marrow Pill that Zhang Shouren and Ouyang Ying, who had no chance of advancing, had both advanced to the Qj Cultivation Fourth Stage.
Even the advancement speed of Ye Yingying and the other girls had increased significantly.
Originally, Xu Mu dared not let them consume too many pills for fear of accumulating too much toxicity in their bodies, which would affect their future Foundation Establishment.
Now that he had this beyond-top-grade Jade Marrow Pill, which could help clean up the toxicity in their body, the frequency of them taking pills increased dramatically, and their cultivation, of course, increased rapidly.
It was also because he discovered the function of beyond-top-grade dan medicine that Xu Mu temporarily abandoned his plan to sell the Stay Age Pill.
He bought two copies of the tier three dan medicine that could improve physique, one called Jade Dew Pill, and the other called Divine Brilliance Pill, from the market.
He put all the newly increased Luck Value into it, raising both types of dan medicine to the transcendent level.
For this, he used up two years of accumulated Luck Value, and his own strength had almost no improvement.
But Xu Mu had no regrets because with these two kinds of dan medicine, the girls were completely free from the problem of toxicity and entered a state of unlimited pill consumption, their cultivation improved like a rocket.
Money originally saved up by Xu Mu would not last long if he used it himself.
But if used for the girls, it was more than enough.
Just like that, in a blink of an eye, many years had passed. Under the condition that Xu Mu gave up his own cultivation and fully supported the girls, their cultivation quickly broke through to the Qi Cultivation Perfection.
Then, Xu Mu put the accumulated Luck Value into the Foundation Establishment Pill, upgrading it to the transcendent level.
With the unprecedented beyond-top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, all the girls successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, only Su Luan, who originally had the lowest cultivation, stayed in the Qi Cultivation Late Stage.
The only one who hasn’t changed much is probably Xu Mu himself.
All his Luck Value was used up. Because he was refining pills for the girls every day, his own cultivation didn’t improve much, and he was still in the Foundation Establishment Fourth Stage.
At the same time, all the spirit stones on him were completely consumed.
He had no choice but to start the previously shelved money-making plan.
However, it was not without gain. On one hand, he accumulated a lot of Stay Age Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills, so there was no shortage of goods in the short term. On the other hand, he could have children again.
One day, Lan Shijin stopped Xu Mu who was about to leave…
l! Yes! Want!
