Chapter 205: Chapter 203: Yang Fushuo’s Alchemy Results
“They’re here! The person in charge of the Yang Family has come out!”
The cultivators from the Zhao and Qian families saw Yang Fu leading his people out, looking calm, with an air of confidence.
“Hehe~ Have you thought it through? Just hand over the portion that our Jin Family is entitled to, and that’s fine. We, the Jin Family, are not a family that bullies others by flaunting our power, right, everyone~”
“Yes! Hahaha~”
Behind him, a group of cultivators riding demon beasts laughed unrestrainedly.
Clearly, they believed they had the Yang Family completely under their control.
This kind of extortion was something they did frequently; one could say that the Jin Family survived by it.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёwebnovel.com.
Their family lands were all used to raise demon beasts; there was no place to conduct cultivation, and they had to rely on windfalls from their neighbors.
Their stronghold at Silver Brocade Lake was just like that, robbing the Guo Family for over a hundred years. Did they dare to let out a fart?
They dared.
Then they would be annihilated.
The Jin Family could be so ruthless only because their strength far exceeded that of the surrounding immortal clans.
They were crude but not stupid; they only robbed those they could handle.
They had also thoroughly investigated the Yang Family.
A family from afar, with some connections in the sect, but weak in strength and no match for them.
If things got out of hand, they had the Myriad Beasts Sect to back them up.
The Golden Core cultivators of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect wouldn’t dare to easily enter the Myriad Beasts Sect’s territory.
Facing the pack of wolf-like Jin Family cultivators, Yang Fu’s face did not show a trace of fear, instead, he laughed along with them.
“Hahaha~ Jin brother, by the look of your face, you are a cultivator with a lot of strategies, naturally doing things with great methodology.”
“That’s right, hahaha!”
Jin Wei felt rather pleased being praised as smart, which was the highest compliment in the Jin Family, hitting right on his sweet spot.
“Jin brother must be out on a trip to find new sources of wealth for the Jin Family and earn more spirit stones, right?”
“Naturally, you just hand over what belongs to the Jin Family, and I won’t make things difficult for you. In the future, if you are bullied… you can also have the Jin Family stand up for you.”
The Jin Family’s head was extremely skilled at pig-farming, not sweeping clean the surrounding small immortal clans at once but rather slaughtering them yearly, allowing them to survive but surrendering half their wealth to the Jin Family, enabling the Jin Family to fish without depleting the waters dry.
“My Yang Family only has Silver Brocade Lake, a place so small, and we barely make a few dozen mid-grade spirit stones each year. Even if we are willing to share with the Jin Family, how much would everyone get?”
The annual output of Silver Brocade Lake was well-known to the Jin Family; even with the extraction of Earth Crystal Mine, the revenue didn’t exceed 100 mid-grade spirit stones a year. According to the principle of robbing half, they would get at most around forty-plus mid-grade spirit stones.
“Hmm~ how is that relevant, a few dozen mid-grade spirit stones are still better than none.”
“I have a way… that could earn the Jin Family at least an additional 100 mid-grade spirit stones each year!”
“What!?”
Jin Wei abruptly raised his head, reaching out his large hand to grab Yang Fu’s sleeve.
“Speak quickly!”
100 mid-grade spirit stones, that’s 100,000 low-grade spirit stones!
Even as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he didn’t have that much wealth.
When the Guo Family was here, he would rob about 20 mid-grade spirit stones a year at most.
The Qian and Guo families would only have to pay ten mid-grade spirit stones annually to be let off.
This annual 100 mid-grade spirit stones… if he could earn these for the family, his status would soar rapidly, and a share of those cubs with ancient demon beast bloodlines would possibly be his!
This was a huge merit!
And if… he didn’t hand them over to the family, these spirit stones would all be his!
Jin Wei’s heartbeat started to race.
Seeing this, Yang Fu smiled slightly.
‘Just as the ancestor said… the Jin Family doesn’t seek to kill, only wealth.’
‘As long as you grasp their behavior, you can offer them a deal they can’t refuse.’
“Speak quickly! If you dare to trick me, you’ll be done for! Today I will level your Yang Family to the ground!” Jin Wei was even more anxious than he was.
“Jin brother, please listen to me… The Myriad Beasts Sect is not good at alchemy, are they?”
“Nonsense, who doesn’t know that? Are you Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect people good at beast taming then?”
Each sect excels in different fields; Myriad Beasts Sect did not have individuals as proficient in the alchemy techniques as those in Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.
“So many cultivators in Myriad Beasts Sect have to purchase a large quantity of elixirs from neighboring sects annually for cultivation, and many merchants take advantage of this by marking up the prices, right?”
“Yes, and what of it? You’re not planning to sell us elixirs at a low price, are you? Hehe~ My Jin Family has quite a network, we can buy elixirs at regular prices. Your Yang Family is not an Alchemy Immortal Clan, what else can you discuss with me?”
Each year, the Jin Family would purchase elixirs from an Alchemy Immortal Clan, with the prices remaining very stable, so they were not short of elixirs.
Even the recently popular [Five Elements Nourishing Yuan Pill], they managed to purchase some from merchants.
Jin Wei looked at Yang Fu with a somewhat suspicious gaze.
After all this time, I thought you were going to offer something cool, but are you giving me a big load of nothing?
“Haha~ Naturally not, my brother is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect’s Elixir Pavilion, learning under his Golden Core stage master to refine elixirs… and his master has recently developed two new elixir recipes, not for human consumption, and of late he’s been quite troubled over how to deal with them.”
When Jin Wei heard about the Golden Core stage master, his eyebrows twitched slightly, which was obviously Yang Fu hinting that the Yang Family had powerful backing and was not to be trifled with.
The Elixir Pavilion of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect also held a high reputation in Spirit Miao Continent, many of their elixirs being exclusive to the pavilion, with nobody daring to offend them to death.
“Not for human consumption? Are they for demon beasts instead?”
“Exactly! They’re meant for demon beasts! Named the Demon Beast Obedience Pill, after feeding it to demon beasts, their vigilance will decrease, they’ll become docile, making them easier to tame.”
“There’s such a miraculous elixir!?”
For ordinary cultivators, it might not be of much use, but for those involved in beast taming, this is incredibly practical!
Taming high-cultivation demon beasts is an exceedingly lengthy process. It’s not something that can be done by simply beating them up and feeding them a Fire Dragon Fruit. Some demon beasts with awakened spiritual wisdom would rather die than become mounts for humans.
With such an elixir… after feeding it for a while, beast tamers’ jobs would be much easier, making some impossible taming tasks possible.
“That’s right, there’s also another Second Grade Elixir named the Dual Cultivation Pill. If a tamed demon beast consumes it, it can cause the spiritual power between the beast tamer and the demon beast to resonate. They can cultivate together, complementing each other, and rapidly elevate both their realms, far more effective than any Five Elements Nourishing Yuan Pill and the like!”
“You can actually use an elixir to increase a demon beast’s cultivation? How amazing! These two types of elixirs… could your brother possibly obtain some from the Elixir Pavilion?”
Yang Fu nodded, producing two elixirs in his hand.
Jin Wei’s eyes lit up as he picked them up and walked toward his good brother’s bear, reputed to be the most irritable and resistant to taming. After consuming the Demon Beast Obedience Pill, its gaze cleared, and it actually let him pet it at will.
After trying the Dual Cultivation Pill on his mount, the black panther, sure enough, they could cultivate together, and the panther’s cultivation rapidly soared!
And the way the black panther looked at him became even more affectionate…
Seeing this, Yang Fu asked, “Brother Jin, do you think these two Second Grade elixirs have a market in the Myriad Beasts Sect’s domain?”
“As long as there’s supply, they’ll definitely sell like hot cakes!”
“If I were to give the rights to sell these two kinds of elixirs to the Jin Family to manage… wouldn’t the Jin Family earn more spirit stones than the meager offerings provided to my humble Yang Family?”
“Sss~ Can you obtain a lot of these?”
Jin Wei truly believed now. These elixirs would absolutely fetch a high price at Myriad Beasts Sect!
If the Yang Family could supply a large amount of these elixirs to him every year, not only would the Jin Family earn spirit stones, but their status within the Myriad Beasts Sect… would also improve a great deal!
Having control over a resource needed by beast tamers was a significant boost for the Jin Family!
“Indeed, my brother has some connections in the Elixir Pavilion. It all depends on how much the Jin Family can take on.”
“Family Head Yang… this matter is of great importance. I need to return to my family to discuss it with my uncle. I’ll come back in three days. Could you let me have a few more elixirs then?”
“Take them.”
Following this, Jin Wei no longer regarded the Yang Family as a fattened pig for the slaughter, but as a golden goose that could bring considerable benefits to his family!
After they left, the Yang Family members breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Fu: “The elder really is clairvoyant, to have persuaded the Jin Family so easily…”
Yang Fushuo was somewhat concerned: “This side effect… we didn’t tell them. It won’t be a problem, will it?”
“It’s no issue. The effects won’t show up unless it is used for a period of time. Besides, it’s normal for a new elixir to have some flaws.”
“There’s no such thing as a waste elixir, only elixirs that are misplaced… These two troublesome elixirs haven’t been sold yet, but my waste elixirs definitely have other uses!”
A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Yang Fu’s mouth.
“Probably… just don’t make me test the elixirs.”
Yang Genshuo looked at the strange elixirs displayed in his study and couldn’t help but wipe his sweat.
Each year, Yang Fushuo would present new elixirs he developed to his ancestor. Some of these he genuinely didn’t want, but to not hurt the boy’s feelings, he simply accepted them.
But Yang Fushuo’s elixirs… really shouldn’t be consumed carelessly; they could cause trouble!
Once again, Yang Fushuo had proven that talent is indeed talent; producing the universally edible Five Elements Nourishing Yuan Pill was completely accidental!
In these four years, AI alchemy and Yang Fushuo combined… seemed to have taken a peculiar path.
Yang Fushuo’s alchemy, regardless of quality, always had some odd feature…
Yang Genshuo tasked Yang Shi with collecting all sorts of elixir recipes from across the world. They wanted all kinds, especially the unconventional and bizarre ones like the Vajra Unbreakable Pill which would start to grow hair on the body, and the Nine-Turned Qi Blood Pill that could regress cultivation but boost vitality… and those were the milder ones.
Few people ever sold these more extraordinary elixirs for a good reason, but some recipes were still obtainable.
This time, after gathering recipes from the Danai Dynasty and the Fierce Sun Dynasty, besides these mainstream elixirs, AI and Yang Fushuo began producing many unusual elixirs.
AI seemed to believe that these peculiar elixirs represented true alchemy… giving formulas that were each more unconventional than the last. In these four years, Yang Fushuo produced 30 new elixirs, most with structures resembling the papers of Deng Yasheng.
Deng Yasheng was a roommate of Yang Genshuo.
His papers often involved translating someone else’s work into his own words… keeping the meaning unchanged but with different wording, enough to pass plagiarism checks.
Yang Fushuo’s achievements included but were not limited to the Tiger Dragon Golden Pill, the Spirit Marrow Cleansing Pill, the Qi Control Impact Pill…
Their hallmark was change, albeit not a significant one.
The remaining new elixirs were an assortment of strange concoctions, like the two meant for the Jin Family. On the surface, they seemed great, but some negative side effects… it remained to be seen whether cultivators could withstand them.
Plop!
The sound of someone entering the water pierced the air, startling Yang Genshuo.
“An enemy attack?”
But the cultivator headed straight for the fish waste at the bottom of Silver Brocade Lake.
“Brother Zhao, stop eating, stop eating!”
“There’s no need for this! You eating muck frightens me…”
“The Jin Family has left for now, but who knows, they might return in a few days, and the Yang Family might have to pay a price then.”
The onlooking cultivators from the Zhao and Qian Families also tried to intervene.
But the Zhao surnamed cultivator took his promises seriously and continued to frantically consume at the bottom of the lake…
