Chapter 324: The Wish Fulfilled

Yang Chun, who received the news, arrived quickly.

To Jiang Cheng's surprise, the visitors were not only him, but also Gu Zhangkong.

But that was fine; hearing is false, seeing is true.

When Jiang Cheng lifted the medicinal herbs, he automatically entered his state; in front of the two, he placed five portions of herbs into the alchemy furnace and began refining.

Time passed minute by minute.

The expressions in the two's eyes gradually changed.

Finally, watching ten Supreme Nourishing Spirit Pills fully form, the two exchanged a glance, their expressions different.

Joy was natural on Yang Chun's face.

He fully believed what Jiang Cheng said on the phone.

Gu Zhangkong's face became much more complex.

He was somewhat shocked, because he indeed doubted whether Jiang Cheng could elevate the alchemical master to a perfect level.

He also felt joy; the cost of five portions of herbs was only 25,000, yet Jiang Cheng refined ten Supreme Nourishing Spirit Pills worth 100,000. Such a high profit, those few Fifth- and Sixth-level alchemical masters could not achieve.

If Jiang Cheng refines ten batches a day, in a month he could bring over 20 million profit, still higher than those Fifth- and Sixth-level alchemical masters! Besides that, there was also worry.

Sure enough, the next second Jiang Cheng took the ten Supreme Nourishing Spirit Pills from the furnace and looked at him.

"Supervisor, I've already done it; now, can we discuss the matter from a few days ago?"

Hearing this, Yang Chun also looked at him, his eyes showing anticipation.

Gu Zhangkong glanced at the two, gave a wry smile, as if speaking to them yet also muttering to himself.

"This investment is not ordinary, and the Calming Pill is a Second-grade Material; its refining difficulty is far above that of the Nourishing Spirit Pill."

"Supervisor."

Determination flashed in Jiang Cheng's eyes.

"Although it's a Second-grade Material, I am confident I can also elevate the Calming Pill technique to a perfect level; then the profit I generate for the Black Market will be dozens to hundreds of times the investment.

To take a thousand steps back, if I truly cannot, I could repay the debt by refining Supreme Nourishing Spirit Pills, couldn't I?"

Gu Zhangkong fell silent.

"Supervisor!"

Yang Chun also spoke for Jiang Cheng: "Jiang Lao Di is right; with his current strength, even if we invest several hundred million in him, paying it off would take only two or three years. I know rushing in with so much is risky, but in trade, risk is unavoidable."

Perhaps Yang Chun's words had effect; Gu Zhangkong took a deep breath and finally made a decision.

"Alright, I agree; from now on I will supply you with the herbs for refining Calming Pills, but I cannot provide them in unlimited quantities."

He stared at Jiang Cheng, apparently hoping the latter would give an approximate figure.

"Supervisor, I can't yet specify the exact amount; how about this: you first give me herbs worth one hundred million, and after I refine for a while, I'll give you an answer."

Jiang Cheng said.

"Alright."

Gu Zhangkong thought briefly, then nodded in agreement.

"Lao Yang, this matter should be left to you to handle."

"Yes, Supervisor."

Yang Chun agreed, glancing at Jiang Cheng.

"Supervisor, besides that, I have another request."

Jiang Cheng added.

"Go ahead."

"I want to advance an additional Top-grade Awakening Pill worth fifty million."

Gu Zhangkong's pupils contracted sharply at the words.

"You want to use the pill to quickly rise to Level 3 Spiritual Thought Master?"

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng nodded, "The Calming Pill takes longer to refine, and controlling the heat requires higher skill. As a Level 2 Spiritual Thought Master, my Spiritual Power is still somewhat weak; this fifty-million Top-grade Awakening Pill, even if it cannot raise my Spiritual Power to Level 3, will still boost it a bit, allowing me to refine one or two extra batches of pills each day."

"……" Gu Zhangkong was speechless.

Refining one or two extra batches daily is indeed true.

But it also means more loss.

Yet, on the other hand.

The herbs worth one hundred million, he had already lent out.

Borrowing another fifty million worth of pills seemed no big deal? "Supervisor!"

"Enough."

Gu Zhangkong reached out, stopping Yang Chun from continuing.

After all, even with his butt he could guess what the other was about to say.

"Fifty million is fifty million, but that's all there is; at least until you don't incur a loss, I won't agree to advance you more Awakening Pills."

"Yes, Supervisor, thank you, thank you Brother Yang."

Jiang Cheng quickly expressed thanks.

He still understood the principle of knowing when to stop.

The key is, with this fifty-million worth of herbs, he could leap from Level 2 to Level 3 Spiritual Thought Master.

One should note that just a few days ago he rose from Level 1 to Level 2, and tonight he reached Level 3; with such cultivation speed, what could be unsatisfactory?

"No need to thank me; as long as you can do what you say, that's enough."

Gu Zhangkong shook his head; it was clear that making this decision also weighed heavily on him.

But just as Yang Chun said on the road.

It's not easy to have a genius.

Getting along well with the other party, both publicly and privately, is beneficial and harmless.

In the future, if the other becomes a senior Alchemy Refining master, perhaps the two of them will still have to buy some precious pills from them.

Soon, a group of staff arrived, carried away the Spirit Nourishing Pill ingredients from the room, and replaced them with the ingredients for refining Calming Pill.

To be safe, they first brought over ingredients worth ten million, calculated at 50,000 per batch, i. e., 200 batches; at Jiang Cheng's rate of ten batches each time, he can only refine them 20 times.

As for the pills.

They still need to be sourced from the Inner City District, just like last time, waiting until night when Yang Chun personally delivers them.

All arrangements set, Yang Chun patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder, "Brother, we won't disturb you any more, keep it up!"

Jiang Cheng nodded seriously.

He shut the door, first skimmed through the Alchemy Technique, and after finishing, a line of small text immediately appeared on the Panel.

With the foundation of Spirit Nourishing Pill present, some preparatory work, Jiang Cheng still handled it with ease.

After handling the ingredients, he directly put in ten batches and began refining.

One hour passed.

Two hours passed.

With a muffled thump from the pill furnace, the pills were successfully refined, but the finished product consisted of only eight pills; two had failed to refine.

Jiang Cheng looked at the Panel.

The Calming Pill Experience Bar rose by 8%, exactly one Basic Tranquil Pill, increasing Experience Value by 1%.

This let him breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, as long as he refines a hundred Basic Tranquil Pills, this Alchemy Technique will be considered Entry.

With his current Spiritual Power, he can refine five or six batches per day, so two days will finish it; of course, when he returns at night and becomes a Level 3 Spirit Mind Practitioner, the time could be cut by about half a day.

"Continue!"

Jiang Cheng took out the pills, placed them into a bottle that had been prepared long ago, cleaned the furnace, and began refining the second batch.

Tonight I received a notice from the author's backend that this book is going to be placed on limited free, and I heard that works that get this recommendation slot are basically abandoned; after this, 99% of books will flop, sigh, my Dao heart is damaged, I'll just update the next three chapters over the next few days, everyone can keep them, and wait until October 25 to see, then these chapters will be limited free, saving some book coins.
