Chapter 459
Xu Lingfeng and Li Yi sold some of the pills made by Xiao Jinting to the Xu and Li families and kept some of them at the weapon shop.
Xu Lingfeng was surprised to find that the pills sold better than his weapons.
After the pills arrived on the shelves, they attracted many Nascent Souls. In less than one month, they earned 300,000 upper-grade spiritual stones out of the pills.
Xu Lingfeng looked at the empty shelves and asked, “Are the pills sold out again?”
Li nodded and said, “Yes. The pills made by Xiao Jinting were superb and rare. You don’t know how fierce they fought for the pills just now.”
When the pills came out, the Nascent Souls fought hard for them. Xu Lingfeng thought they disgraced themselves for a few pills.
Alchemists were more valuable than weapon makers on the same level. It irritated Xu Lingfeng that he earned much less than Xiao Jinting.
He said sullenly, “Xiao Jinting is capable.”
Li Yi smiled and said, “He’s powerful.”
He turned to Xu Lingfeng and teased, “Our grandsons had a point when they said that it’s difficult to find someone like their father, but it’s easy to find someone like you.”
Xu Lingfeng frowned and said, “They didn’t say that. They said it’s not difficult to find someone like me.”
Li Yi was speechless.
A Nascent Soul entered the shop and asked, “Do you sell Heaven Heart Pill here?”
Xu Lingfeng looked at him and said, “Yes, but it’s sold out.”
The Nascent Soul said, “What a pity! I heard that the price of one pill is 30,000 upper-grade spiritual stones. I’d like to buy one at the price of 50,000. Could you please inform me when you have it in stock?”
Xu Lingfeng said, “Sure.”
“Thank you.” The Nascent Soul left his contact information and left happily.
Xu Lingfeng watched him leave and rolled his eyes. “I wonder if he’s out of his mind. He is willing to pay more than he should.”
Li Yi rose and said, “It’s getting late. I’m going to see Muan.”
Xu Lingfeng asked, “Why?”
“The Li family has sent 300,000 upper-grade spiritual stones, and I have to give them to Muan.” Li Yi sold the pills to his family, but he didn’t tell them that Xiao Jinting made the pills.
Xu Lingfeng nodded and said, “The Xu family has also sent the spiritual stones.”
The Xu family had sent 350,000 upper-grade spiritual stones, and Xu Lingfeng had given them to Xiao Jinting.
Xu Lingfeng thought he was helping Xiao Jinting to sell the pills to his family, but the elders started to favor him. Many relatives on bad terms with him started to flatter him and asked him to get more pills from the mysterious alchemist.
The elders in the family always complained that they were poor, but they paid quickly for the pills when Xu Lingfeng said those who paid first would get the pills first. An elder who pretended to be poor all the time said that he wanted to buy all the pills, which enraged the other elders, who beat him up.
Xu Lingfeng asked in confusion, “Why does Xiao Jinting need so many spiritual stones?”
Li Yi said matter-of-factly, “To cultivate.”
Xu Lingfeng said, “But he needs too many of them.”
Li Yi said, “The more spiritual stones, the better. Why do you care? The more he asks, the happier the others are.
Xu Lingfeng nodded and said, “That’s right.”
There were very few excellent alchemists, and most of them were arrogant, so many people couldn’t have good pills. Xiao Jinting sold pills at reasonable prices, and people scrambled for it.
Looking at the pills in his hand, Li Yi narrowed his eyes. Alchemists were rare because it took a large number of materials to practice and it consumed a lot of energy. Apart from that, the formula was rare and precious. Most of the alchemists would not reveal any of their formulas to anyone.
Many formulas disappeared over time because of that.
Li Yi found that Xiao Jinting made a dozen of different pills, which confirmed his suspicion that Xiao Jinting used to be a master.
…
Xu Muan entered Xiao Jinting’s cultivation room and gave him the spiritual stones.
They went into the jade space together, and Xiao Jinting tossed all the stones in the spiritual spring.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting and said sullenly, “Not enough?”
Xiao Jinting shook his head and said ruefully, “No.”
Xu Muan couldn’t help saying, “The spring consumes too many spiritual stones.”
Xiao Jinting said indifferently, “We have to pay for the things we want.” The more spiritual stones he put in the spring, the better the spring got, which was good for his cultivation.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “You are right. By the way, my parents are suspecting you snatched the body of Xiao Jinting.”
Xiao Jinting said, “My brother told me that your Daddy seemed to be hostile toward Xiao Linfeng. I guess he had investigated what had happened back then.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “I think so.”
