Chapter 122: Medicinal Profits Secured

It seems Lu Leyi still understands the stakes involved.

Just now, when she asked why it wasn't made public, Lu Jing was genuinely startled.

If those old fogeys really saw this move, they would instantly recognize its value.

By then, Lu Jing would be invited for tea.

"The move I taught you must be practiced diligently every day, understand?"

Lu Jing said solemnly: "I'm about to leave home; I might only come back once every six months. If anything happens at home, you'll have to look after Mom and Dad—you're already an adult."

"I know, Brother."

Lu Leyi sat on the ground and nodded.

After a while.

"Have you rested enough?"

Lu Jing looked at Lu Leyi sitting cross-legged and said, "If you've rested, get up and keep practicing, striving to perfect the move."

"Mm, I've rested!"

Lu Leyi sprang to her feet, the playful smile gone from her face, replaced by seriousness and solemnity.

Lu Jing's words she kept firmly in mind, as if she had grown in an instant.

After pointing out a flaw in Lu Leyi's move, Lu Jing returned to his room on the third floor.

He stood on the balcony, gazing at the distant myriad lights, lost in thought.

"I don't know whether this step I've taken is right or wrong..."

After thinking for a long time, Lu Jing shook his head: "Now thinking about this is just asking for trouble; it's better to seize the time to increase our strength. As long as we're strong enough, what does it matter if the secret of the body-forging technique is discovered?"

He then hesitated no longer, taking advantage of the humid evening breeze, he assumed the body-forging stance on the balcony and began to temper his blood and qi.

Although the balcony had no cover, the front was all greenery and lake, so no one could see Lu Jing.

Heat rose, sweat drenched his back, his blood and qi were continually refined, his body metabolizing at extreme speed...

That night, Lu Haitao and his wife lay in bed, quite excited; the new environment kept them both awake.

Lu Leyi didn't know if it was from being over-tired or just carefree, but she slept soundly.

As for Lu Jing, after practicing several sets of the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique, he then visualized the diamond figurine in his mind.

He didn't go to bed until the early hours.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning.

Lu Leyi woke him up as usual.

Because they were moving, Lu Haitao and Feng Qinru took a few days off and didn't go to work.

At the dinner table.

Lu Leyi's appetite had noticeably increased; she had become a rice-eating machine, previously eating only one bowl of rice but now she ate three bowls straight away.

"This kid, how come she can eat so much after moving?"

Feng Qinru helped serve the rice while laughing and said.

Lu Leyi didn't speak, but exchanged a glance with Lu Jing.

Seeing Lu Jing's solemn gaze, she lightly nodded and said, "Mom, your cooking is really delicious; it's normal for me to eat more!"

"You little rascal, all smooth talk."

Feng Qinru laughed so hard she couldn't close her mouth.

Lu Jing changed the subject, saying, "Mom and Dad, quit your jobs; we're not short of money now, there's no need to rise early and work late, especially Dad, your job is all physical labor, too hard on the body."

Upon hearing this, the couple both shook their heads in unison.

"No way, even if we had more money we couldn't just live off it; besides, once you go to Martial University, we'll have nothing to do at home and can't sit idle!"

Lu Haitao waved his hand and said, "Xiao Jing, you don't need to worry about us; your dad's health is still strong, rest assured."

Lu Jing had long anticipated his parents would say that, so he shifted the conversation.

"Mom and Dad, Leyi is about to start high school, exactly when she needs looking after; plus her appetite has grown, if you both work, who will cook?"

"That's true..." Feng Qinru frowned, "Eating out isn't hygienic either."

Lu Jing lightly coughed, "The President Xu of our City Martial Association said they still need someone to manage supplies there; the work is very light, just registering the usage of supplies..."

"The hours are nine to five, with double weekends off, paying over six thousand a month; my dad used to work in warehouse management, so he can give it a try."

"Mom, as for you, just stay home and take care of Leyi; with my martial artist stipend and my dad's salary, we already have enough."

"Go work at the Martial Association?"

Lu Haitao blinked in surprise.

"The Martial Association is a government organ, the biggest authority bureau in Anwu City; even the most menial, toughest janitorial job there is a sought-after position."

"Without connections, you can't even get in."

"And Lu Jing actually found him an easy, non-tiring warehouse job!"

"Lu Haitao is now more surprised than when the Martial Association president rewarded Lu Jing with a million."

"He's just an ordinary factory worker moving goods, resting only one day a month, often working overtime, his exhausting labor earning at most three thousand."

"Now just sitting in the warehouse, registering a bit of info, he can get over six thousand?"

"These wages are actually fine; the important thing is that after joining the Martial Association, it's equivalent to entering the system, and his status changes immediately."

"For Lu Haitao's generation, this kind of job is what they cherish most."

"Not only Lu Haitao was astonished; Feng Qinru couldn't believe it either."

"She remained silent for a moment, then nodded with a smile: 'All right, let your dad go to work, and I'll stay home to take care of you.'"

Seeing his parents agree, Lu Jing also felt relieved.

Arranging a person in the Martial Association is just a matter of a sentence for him.

Xu Xingwu was worried he had no chance to curry favor with him.

This afternoon, still at that Western restaurant, Lu Jing had arranged to meet Qin Ziyi of Huichuntang here.

"How are the sales of the Zhenyuan Dan going?"

Lu Jing looked at Qin Ziyi sitting opposite and asked.

Qin Ziyi tucked her bangs behind her ear and reported: "We have priced the Zhenyuan Dan at 150,000, far lower than other dan medicines of the same grade, but its efficacy is only increasing, not decreasing, so it is very popular in the market......"

After this month's sales, the market has already been opened; currently two factories are helping with production, and the customer repurchase rate is also high, basically over thirty percent.

I had previously tried to contact you proactively, wanting to give you the profit share I promised, but your phone kept being unreachable......

After Qin Ziyi finished speaking, she took out an envelope from her bag and handed it to Lu Jing: "This is the profit share for the first month; after deducting costs and my portion, it totals three million; the sales report and bank card are inside."

"Well, I went to the Genius Training Camp earlier; it's normal you couldn't reach me—there's no signal there—but since I gave you the dan formula, it shows I trust your ability to get things done."

Lu Jing reached out to take the envelope, nodded and smiled.

The amount of three million matched his expectations.

The sale of dan medicines requires sharing a lot of profit with distributors and manufacturers, and there are many places needing money; having three million in the first month is already quite good.
