Chapter 616: Astonishing Profits

"Big Brother, brilliant!"

The little fatty gave a thumbs-up; his Big Brother could always surprise him!

"Small issue. Kuai Yan, have you finished calculating the ledger I asked for?" Ye Lin looked toward Kuai Yan at his side and asked.

"It's finished!"

Kuai Yan nodded, his face extremely excited, as red as the reincarnation of Guan Gong.

"According to the ideal state, five hundred transformed demonic beasts can earn us 150 medium-grade Immortal Source Stones each per day; 500 of them would be 75, 00."

"Over a month, that is 2. 5 million medium-grade Immortal Source Stones, equivalent to 225 million low-grade Immortal Source Stones!"

"However, the first few days after opening weren't at full capacity, so we didn't reach the ideal state. Plus, there were the subsequent rebates for those cultivators, and the costs for purchasing silk stockings and such..."

"Over this past month, the net profit of the Yihong Zoo is 170 million low-grade Immortal Source Stones!"

Kuai Yan's eyes were red with excitement; the way he looked at Ye Lin was as if he were looking at a true god.

He had mined for three hundred years and never seen so many Immortal Source Stones; Ye Lin had earned this in just one month. His worldview had been refreshed.

Liu Ruyan and Qiu Weizhi were also breathing heavily. The two of them had initially thought Ye Lin was just messing around when he said he was opening a brothel, but they hadn't expected it to be so profitable!

"170 million, right? Very well. You take 100 million to reshape your body. Of the remaining 70 million, I will take 70 percent, and the three of you can split the remaining 30 percent. Who agrees? Who objects?" Ye Lin asked, looking around the circle.

Liu Ruyan and Qiu Weizhi both nodded to indicate they had no objections. After all, the entire idea of the Yihong Zoo, from conception to execution, had been handled by Ye Lin single-handedly. They naturally had no objections to Ye Lin taking the lion's share.

Instead, it was the little fatty and Kuai Yan who were unhappy.

"Big Brother, I don't lack Immortal Source Stones, so you don't need to give me any. But I must have a title, and that is that I must be the second-in-command of the Yihong Zoo!" the little fatty said with a firm tone and a resounding voice.

Ye Lin: "..."

Forget it, the thoughts of these rich people were truly hard to fathom. Since the little fatty insisted, he could only reluctantly take 80 percent.

Kuai Yan also said in a deep voice.

"Ye Lin, I cannot take so much. It is enough for me to take the same amount as Qiu Weizhi and the others. I haven't even helped with anything..."

"The reason you haven't helped with anything is because your strength is too weak."

Ye Lin spoke, interrupting his words.

"Letting you take this 100 million low-grade Immortal Source Stones isn't looking down on you, nor is it pitying you; it is so that after you reshape your body and can cultivate, you can help me with more things."

"Kuai Yan, you were once held above your father's head, so you should never feel inferior to anyone anywhere. If your spirit is gone, you will never be able to stand tall for the rest of your life."

Ye Lin's words made Kuai Yan fall silent.

He hung his head, not knowing what he was thinking. A moment later, Kuai Yan raised his head again. At this moment, he was like a drawn sword, his edge fully exposed, and even his eyes had changed.

"Fine, then I will no longer decline! Deduct this 100 million low-grade Immortal Source Stones from my share next month!" Kuai Yan said in a deep voice.

"That's more like it. By the way, Zhen Youqian, if you have time, help me find as many more fox demons as possible. The staff is not quite enough."

Ye Lin stretched. Since the opening, business at the Yihong Zoo had been truly too explosive; there were even many cultivators from other places who had come from afar by reputation.

"You got it, Big Brother! It is my duty!" The little fatty's round body soon disappeared into the distance.

Three days later, another large batch of fox-clan demonic beasts was brought over. These demonic beasts were all brought from other places by Zhen Youqian using his family's influence.

Having the examples of their predecessors who had successfully transformed, these fox-clan demonic beasts basically didn't resist much and accepted Ye Lin's arrangements.

And Ye Lin's reputation gradually spread among the fox clan.

"Lord Ye Lin is a great philanthropist! To our fox demon clan, he is simply a savior-like figure!"

"Indeed. In the past, if our fox demon clan wanted to absorb some men's Yang energy, we would be hunted down by cultivators and cursed as fox spirits and evil demons. We had to be extremely careful even if we wanted to cultivate."

"With Lord Ye Lin here, we don't need to hide or be careful. We just need to wait here, and men will come to our door to willingly engage in dual cultivation with us. He even teaches us techniques!"

"They all say foxes are evil spirits, but only Lord Ye Lin treats us as auspicious omens!"

"Lord Ye Lin is the best person in the world!"

Many little foxes would have stars appearing in their long, narrow fox eyes whenever they mentioned Ye Lin.

Only they themselves knew how miserable the lives of fox-type demonic beasts who needed to absorb Yang energy were.

It could be said that it was Ye Lin who gave them a new life.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed quietly.

During these three months, the Yihong Zoo had completely made a name for itself!

Even from the imperial city, located in the core of the Nuhai Dynasty, high-ranking officials and nobles came by reputation.

With the increase in both staff and guests, the revenue of the Yihong Zoo also began to flourish.

And when Kuai Yan calculated the revenue of the Yihong Zoo for these three months, his eyes turned red.

"How is it? How much revenue?" Ye Lin asked.

"One... one... one billion!"

Kuai Yan's breathing was somewhat unsteady.

One billion low-grade Immortal Source Stones, even converted into supreme-grade Immortal Source Stones, would be a full one thousand!

This wealth was enough to make even a great cultivator of the Profound Realm turn green with envy or even kill to seize it.

Qiu Weizhi and Liu Ruyan both widened their eyes, unable to help but swallow their saliva.

Even the wealthiest little fatty couldn't help but open his mouth wide. One billion low-grade Immortal Source Stones was definitely not a small sum, even for his Zhen family.

He hadn't misjudged the person; his Big Brother had truly led him to accomplish a great undertaking!

"One billion, oh, one billion! Enough to spend for a lifetime!"

Qiu Weizhi was incredibly excited. Previously, when he was a team leader at the Lingquan Mine, he wouldn't have been able to earn this many Immortal Source Stones even after working for thousands of years!

"Alright, don't get excited. After the Immortal Source Stones are divided, don't be reluctant to use them. Improve your strength as much as possible; there will be more Immortal Source Stones coming in the future."

Ye Lin waved his hand calmly. In another month or two, he should be able to open a branch.

"However, Ye Lin, there is a new problem now."

Liu Ruyan spoke up.

"According to the news I've gathered, it seems someone has set their sights on us. Soon, the government of Lingquan County will come to investigate us."

Ye Lin was not alarmed upon hearing this.

"Small issue. I have already thought of how to solve this problem. Our Yihong Zoo is as clean as the intestines of a nun who has been a vegetarian for twenty years; nothing will happen."
