Chapter 51: The Profits of the Array Disk
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Cheng Xu pretended to smile humbly and slowly opened the lid of the furnace. The rich fragrance of Foundation Establishment Pills instantly filled the air.
âGo⊠High-grade?â
âThree⊠All of them are high-grade!â
Hu Banxianâs pupils constricted. He could hardly believe his eyes.
He originally thought that it was already ridiculous that this formula could refine a Foundation Establishment Pill. He did not expect that it could actually refine a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
What was even more ridiculous was that this cauldron of medicinal pills was refined by Cheng Xu.
One had to know that even if he personally refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would usually only produce three or four high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills. Occasionally, if he was lucky, he might be able to produce a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
âWhat do you think, Brother Hu? This disciple of mine is pretty good, right?â
Yuntai Zhenren smiled faintly, as if he was showing off and mocking.
Hu Banxian was silent for a long time. He looked back at his precious granddaughter who was still refining. His complicated emotions finally turned into a long sigh.
âIâve made a fool of myself in front of Senior.â Cheng Xu smiled modestly.
The corner of Hu Banxianâs mouth twitched unconsciously. âYoung friend, you are a genius. It is really a great blessing for Southern Heavenâs Alchemy World.â
âThatâs right. Fortunately, I picked it up. Otherwise, it would definitely be a huge loss for the alchemist world.â Yuntai Zhenren agreed, but at the same time, he didnât forget to make a sarcastic remark.
Hu Banxian could only smile awkwardly. âBy the way, Little Cheng, you can come back to our Yunzhong Sect more often when you have time. You can come back anytime you want.â
Daoist Master Zhenren was unhappy at that moment. âHey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to poach him in front of me?â
âBrother, youâre wrong. Little Cheng was originally a disciple of my Yunzhong Sect, but he came to your Medicine Immortal Valley because of some misunderstanding. Now that Iâve invited him back, how can you call it poaching?â
Tsk, you still have the nerve to say that!â Yuntai Zhenrenâs eyes were filled with disdain.
While Cheng Xu was secretly pleased with himself, he smiled and said, âSenior Hu, Iâm quite happy in the Medicine Immortal Valley.â
âItâs a pity, itâs a pity.â
Hu Banxian wasnât stupid. He could naturally hear Cheng Xuâs resentment towards the Yunzhong Sect.
Looking at his precious granddaughter, he was instantly furious.
At this moment, Hu Jiaojiao finished refining with full confidence. âGrandpa, Grandpa, Iâm done!â
Hu Banxian smiled stiffly. âDonât embarrass yourself with your skills.â
âHow is it embarrassing?â His granddaughter had dropped a middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pill this time?â
Hu Banxian sighed and pointed at Cheng Xuâs pill furnace. She didnât say anything.
Hu Jiaojiao was puzzled as she went forward to take a look. She was stunned on the spot.
âThree high-grade pills?!â
âImpossible! How is this possible?â
âIt must be fake. How can those lousy materials be used to refine high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, and there are three of them?â
âAlright, it must be you and your master working together to fake it! I refuse to accept this!â
Cheng Xu and Yuntai Zhenren looked at each other and smiled, watching the joke quietly.
âShut up!â Hu Banxianâs face turned red. He gritted his teeth and scolded Hu Jiaojiao to calm down. Then, he cupped his fists at Cheng Xu and the other man and said, âIâm sorry to make a fool out of myself. Jiaojiao, this girl thinks too highly of herself and should be properly disciplined.â
âSheâs just a child. Whatâs there to discipline? Happiness is the most important thing!â
Yuntai Zhenrenâs tone was still full of sarcasm.
Hu Banxian was embarrassed. After pretending to scold Hu Jiaojiao, He left with a dark face.
He could vaguely hear Hu Jiaojiaoâs indignant shouts.
âHow is it, Little Cheng? Do you feel good?â Yuntai Zhenren asked jokingly.
âThis is awesome. It would be even better if 1 could spar with that girl,â Cheng Xu said in a refreshed manner.
âAlright, there will be opportunities in the future. Yuntai Zhenren smiled unhappily and then said excitedly, âCome, come, come. Just now, when you were refining medicine, there were a few operations that I didnât quite understand. Quickly tell me about your thoughts at that time.â
Just like that, the Master and disciple once again discussed the medicinal theory.
This discussion lasted for two days and two nights.
Cheng Xu benefited greatly. When his Pharmacology level rose to Level 16, his refining ability also jumped to Advanced (92%).
As for his Master, Yuntai Zhenren, he seemed to have comprehended something as well and went into the alchemy room to get busy.
Cheng Xu, who had returned to his cave abode, seemed to be pondering something.
He refined a few pills in a row, as if he was conducting some kind of verification.
âAs expected!â
The Semi-Automatic Refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill was obviously better than the Fully Automatic Refining. Moreover, the loss rate and pill success rate were also much higher than the Fully Automatic Refining.
And it wasnât just the Foundation Establishment Pill. It was the same for other medicinal pills.
Even a simple medicine like the Qi-gathering elixir could only be refined into high-grade.
âIt seems that the cultivation computerâs Automatic Pill Refinement can only refine high-grade pills at most. If you want to rush to the top grade, you still have to rely on Semi-Automatic.â
However, even with the Semi-Automatic Refinement, he still could not refine a top-grade Qi-gathering elixir.
However, he was certain that the Semi-Automatic refined high-grade Qi-gathering elixir was clearly closer to the top-grade quality.
From this, it could be seen that wanting to refine supreme-grade medicinal pills was not that easy.
âNo hurry, take it slow!â Cheng Xu was not in a hurry. âLetâs go to Floating Immortal City first and sell the talismans and array disks.â
Floating Immortal City was still as lively as ever, with an endless stream of merchants coming and going.
Cheng Xu, who had disguised himself, once again came to the Jian Chamber of Commerceâs shop. The shopkeeper clearly remembered Cheng Xu and immediately came up to welcome him warmly.
âYo Fellow Daoist, youâre here again? What do you need this time?â The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.
âJust like last time, talisman paper and those few forging materials.â
âOh, oh!â
The shopkeeper immediately called the waiter to prepare.
Cheng Xu took out the talismans that he had made. âThere are also some talismans that I want to sell.â
He made a total of 83 talismans from the 100 talismans he had last time. Cheng Xu kept five of each of the three types of talismans for his own use, and the remaining 68 were used to sell for money. At the same time, he could also cover up his heaven-defying success rate in making talismans.
âAre they all level one talismans?â
âI can draw it at the second stage, but the success rate is too low. Itâs not worth it.â
The shopkeeper nodded in understanding. âFellow Daoist, the quality of this batch of Level One talismans is pretty good. Theyâre almost on par with the high-quality goods supplied by the Mystic Arts Sect.â
âWhatâs the price?â
âThe price of these three talismans is about the same. How about 6o spirit stones per talisman?â
Cheng Xu pondered for a moment and found it reasonable.
Sixty-eight talismans, excluding the cost, he earned a net profit of 2880 Spirit Stones, plus fifteen talismans for his own use.
The profits obviously couldnât be compared to refining medicine, but who would complain about having too many spirit stones?
After completing the talisman transaction, it was time for the main event, the formation disk.
âBy the way, shopkeeper, Iâve also prepared some Array Disks. Do you want to take a look?â
âUh, thereâs no need for the Array Disk, right?â Other than the Scorching Sun Sectâs shop, the other shops were not selling at all. The shopkeeper refused.
âWhat if itâs the same as the Scorching Sun Sectâs multi-compatible Array Disk?â Cheng Xu confidently took out a set of Array Disks.
âReally?â The shopkeeper was skeptical.
âIf you donât believe me, you can find an array master to verify it.â
âFellow Daoist, please wait a moment.â
Cheng Xu was brought into the inner hall. After waiting for a moment, the shopkeeper rushed over with a white-bearded late-stage Foundation Establishment man.
âThis is Master Yuan, a consecrator of the Jian Chamber of Commerce. Although he is an itinerant cultivator, his attainments in Array formations are not inferior to the cultivators of the Shenluo Hall.â The shopkeeper introduced them.
âMaster Yuan, 1 apologize for my disrespect.â
Cheng Xu greeted him briefly.
Master Yuan didnât say anything. He picked up the array plate on the table and began to examine it. He clicked his tongue in wonder and became more and more surprised.
In the end, he couldnât believe it.
âWhat do you think, Master Yuan? Is it really a multi-purpose Array Disk like the Scorching Sun Sect?â The shopkeeper was curious.
âHuâŠâ Master Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. His hands that were holding the Array Disk were trembling. âIâm afraid itâs much more powerful than the Level Two Array Disk that the Jinpan Spiritual Master personally refined. Iâve just roughly tested it in my head. This Array Disk can accommodate at least twenty commonly used Level One and Level Two arrays.â
The shopkeeper was surprised and delighted. The two of them looked at Cheng Xu at the same time.
âMay 1 ask if this Array Disk was created by Fellow Daoist?â
Cheng Xu waved his hand and smiled. âThis Array Disk was refined by my master.â
Master Yuanâs eyes flickered as he carefully sized up Cheng Xu. â1 see that
Fellow Daoist isnât a cultivator of a sect. 1 wonder if Fellow Daoist is interested in coming to my Jian Chamber of Commerce?â
âWeâre used to living in the wild,â Cheng Xu rejected politely. âBut we can still talk about cooperation. Speaking of which, my master has some connections with your Chamber of Commerce.â
âOhâŠâ Master Yuan and the shopkeeper asked curiously,â May 1 ask your masterâs name?â
Cheng Xu smiled but did not say anything.
Seeing this, the two of them didnât ask further. âI wonder how many of these Array Disks you have?â
âTwenty sets.â
âHuhh!â Master Yuan gasped in shock. âAs far as 1 know, this kind of multi-purpose Array Disk is quite complicated and consumes a lot of energy. Your master is really a prolific person.â
âThe Scorching Sun Sectâs structure is indeed troublesome,â Cheng Xu said with a smile. âBut my masterâs structure is fine. Itâs not that laborious.â
âIs it really a new architecture?â Master Yuan was even more surprised.
At first, he thought that Cheng Xu was backed by a big shot of the Scorching Sun Sect who was secretly smuggling to earn some extra money. Now, it seemed that someone had developed a new structure for the multi-purpose Array Disk.
This was definitely a great opportunity for their Chamber of Commerce.
âHowever, these Array Disks are very expensive, and the store has limited funds. Itâs quite risky to eat twenty of them in one go. How about this? Weâll take ten sets of Array Disks for now. Each set will cost fifty thousand spirit stones.â
âFifty thousand?â Cheng Xu was slightly shocked.
Before he came, he went to the Scorching Sun Sectâs shop and found that the best Level Two Multi-purpose Array Disk there was only worth about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.
Master Yuan nodded and said with a smile, âFellow Cultivator, your Array Disk is better than the Scorching Sun Sectâs. We can sell it at the same price as the Scorching Sun Sectâs first. Then, we can slowly increase the price.â
âAlright, happy cooperation.â Cheng Xu stood up and smiled.
After that, both sides handed over the money and goods.
After Master Yuan carefully confirmed that there was no problem with the ten sets of Array Disks, he solemnly presented a Jade plate with the pattern of the Jian Chamber of Commerce. âThis is the Jade plate that our Jian Chamber of Commerce gives to our distinguished guests. Those who hold the Jade plate can enjoy a 10% discount in our shops.â
âThank you!â Cheng Xu accepted it with a smile.
âRight, how should I address you, Fellow Daoist?â
â Xu Cheng.â
Cheng Xu casually left a fake name and turned to leave.
Master Yuan and the shopkeeper saw him off warmly all the way to the door. They looked at Cheng Xuâs departing figure thoughtfully.
âMaster Yuan, is this Array Disk really better than the Array Disk of the Scorching Sun Sect?â
âWhat, are you doubting my judgment?â Master Yuan humphed and returned to the shop. âGet me a set first. As for the owner, Iâll talk to him personally.â
âHmph⊠I want to see how those old fellows in the Chamber of Commerce are going to show off in front of me after getting such a big deal!â
The more Master Yuan thought about it, the more beautiful he became. He couldnât stop smiling.
Just like that, under the shocked gaze of the shopkeeper, Master Yuan did not hesitate to buy a set of Array Disks with 50,000 spirit stones and became the first user of the Alpha Dog Array Disk.
âBut then again, what does the inscription on this Array Disk mean?â Master Yuan stared at the inscription on the Array Disk and fell into deep thought.. âAlpha Dog? Who would have such a name?â
