Chapter 744: Chapter 739: Earth Liaison Office on Silver Heart Star
Originally, Discarding and Letting Go had no expectations for the Refining God Liquid. After all, Bai Pu is just an Awakened, and sub-professions of the Awakened are all below Level 10 (Tier One), what kind of high-quality item could he produce?
However, after seeing the finished product of the Refining God Liquid from Bai Pu, Discarding and Letting Go couldn’t remain calm.
"A Tier One potion that enhances Basic Spirit? Increases Spirit by up to 13 points..."
Discarding and Letting Go looked at Bai Pu: "This thing, for Awakened preparing to ascend, is quite impressive... The key is, what are the costs?"
"The main ingredient is Starlight Orchid, though it’s relatively rare, it’s ultimately just a Tier One mutated Spirit Plant, so the cost isn’t high. Considering the other supplementary herbs, as long as a 50% yield rate is ensured, the cost doesn’t exceed 200 Silver Dragon Coins." Bai Pu estimated and said.
"This thing could sell for 1,000 Silver Dragon Coins with people scrambling to buy it." Discarding and Letting Go, having mixed in the Silver Heart Great World for a long time, naturally knew how scarce such Spirit-enhancing potions were.
Unfortunately, the increase in Spirit is still a bit low; with bad luck, it might only add five or six points of Spirit. Otherwise, the price of this potion could easily be several times higher.
It should be noted that Silver Dragon Coins are not issued casually; the Central Banks of the Five Great Cities must have ample Spirit Crystal reserves to ensure the stability of the coin’s value.
Silver Dragon Coins are pegged to the noble Spirit Crystals and are hard currency even among Evolvers.
"Gangxin, with this recipe, your financial independence on the Silver Heart Continent is just around the corner." Discarding and Letting Go said.
Bai Pu shook his head: "I hope you will inform Earth’s high-level officials on my behalf to send some people to the Silver Heart Continent to specifically handle this matter. The final profits will be credited to the Earth Development Fund to cultivate more Peak Awakened from Earth, aiding them in understanding the True Intent Prototype."
"You really are generous." Discarding and Letting Go remarked with some emotion, "You also don’t need to call me ’senior’ or ’sir’, just call my name. I’m only about ten years older than you."
Bai Pu smiled and said: "Then I’ll call you Brother Duan..."
After a pause, Bai Pu seriously said: "Brother Duan, you are also running around sacrificing your precious time for the future of Earth. The little profit I give is nothing."
At this point, Bai Pu remembered the active racial forces on the Silver Heart Continent: "Actually, I quite admire forces like Burning Ash and the Green Alliance. These Pure Blood races have very few people, but they are extremely united... This is something Earth could definitely learn from."
There was one more thing Bai Pu didn’t say. He is the Master of the Earth Battleship, and the resources earned by the Earth experts will ultimately be funneled back to him. Bai Pu will always get the lion’s share.
Of course, for a long time, Earth will need Bai Pu to provide resources for cultivation. Now is the start-up phase, and there’s nothing to be said.
"Okay. I’ll pass on the message for you this time."
Discarding and Letting Go said: "However, I’m not just a messenger; I can’t always help you pass on messages. You should establish a long-term communication channel with Earth’s headquarters."
"I will." Bai Pu nodded.
Discarding and Letting Go was a bit surprised; he was certain from Bai Pu’s tone that Bai Pu had this capability. He reminded: "Do you intend to connect Earth to the Gaia Network? This would indeed be a one-time solution, but connecting to the Gaia Network costs money."
"I know that."
Bai Pu had searched for this issue through the Gaia Network on his first day on the Silver Heart Continent, at the Frosty Spirit Plants Shop.
The Gaia Network uses Spiritual Essence as the medium for signal transmission, which makes it convenient; regardless of location, as long as there are Spiritual Particles in the real world, one can enter the Gaia Network.
However, each account joining the Gaia Network requires utilizing its Calculation Power, and there’s a "network usage fee."
If tens of billions of people on Earth were to connect to the Gaia Network, the required Calculation Power would be enormous, and the annual cost in Silver Dragon Coins would naturally be very high.
Bai Pu plans to allow only a small group of Peak Awakened access to the Gaia Network. This way, the annual cost would be reduced.
Of course, besides the annual user-based fee for connecting to the Gaia Network, a network admission fee must also be paid to the Gaia Group.
The network admission fee is a one-time payment of 300,000 Silver Dragon Coins.
If exchanged entirely through Lingshu City’s Central Bank, it’s about ten million Spiritual Points, but taking into account the fluctuation in exchange rates, the final cost in Spiritual Points would far exceed ten million.
Therefore, Bai Pu doesn’t plan to exchange the 300,000 Silver Dragon Coins through the bank but intends to cover it with the income from selling the Refining God Liquid.
Additionally, Bai Pu plans to establish an Earth outpost in the Outer City District, recruiting a batch of Earth’s elites. He plans to teach the Refining God Liquid recipe to trustworthy Earth Alchemists and then organize the sales.
This initial funding can be solved through bank exchange.
Bai Pu’s needs quickly received strong support from Earth’s headquarters.
The Huaxia authorities soon selected a batch of elites from the Advanced Alchemy and Pharmaceuticals sub-professions, signed an agreement notarized by the Spirit Realm Will, and traveled to Earth via the Star Gate.
Ling Qingyun, Wu Qingyun, Yuan Hall, among others—basically people who had a good relationship with Bai Pu—all were sent over.
The most noteworthy was Li Ling.
As Bai Pu’s representative, Li Ling’s position on Earth was already very high, able to decide many major affairs in one word.
If Earth were an Empire, Bai Pu would be the Emperor, and Li Ling would at least be the Prime Minister.
However, when asked if Li Ling wanted to follow Bai Pu to the Silver Heart Continent, she did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
Compared to her power and authority on Earth, Li Ling chose the more dangerous and uncertain future of the Silver Heart Continent.
She gave up her position as Earth’s top Practical Officer and came to the Silver Heart Continent to become a modest director at the "Earth Resident Office on Silver Heart Star."
Bai Pu greeted them and took these Earth elites to handle ID cards, Spirit Avoidance Patterns, and so on. Then he passed the Refining God Liquid recipe to these Advanced Alchemists.
It wasn’t until these Earth Alchemists could independently produce the Refining God Liquid that Bai Pu was assured.
It’s worth noting that the Refining God Liquid made by these Earth Alchemists was less potent than Bai Pu’s. The best among them only had about 70% efficacy compared to the original Refining God Liquid.
This is likely due to the unique nature of Bai Pu’s hidden sub-profession.
As for the location of the Alchemy Shop, Bai Pu decided without hesitation to set it in Baihui District, right across from the "Frosty Spirit Plants Shop," naming it "Refining God."
For sourcing, he entrusted the Frosty Spirit Plants Shop entirely. On one hand, it was due to his trust in Uncle Mu; on the other, it was a way to repay Uncle Mu’s initial kindness.
Naturally, Bai Pu did not reveal his connection to Earth in front of Uncle Mu and certainly did not disclose his identity as the Master of Earth.
Uncle Mu was curious as to why the new Refining God Potion Shop trusted him so much.
Later, when he met Li Ling, the owner of the Refining God Potion Shop, and learned it was opened by a fellow from Earth, he "understood."
