Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

What if there are five or six furnaces?
The daily profit would be 25 million, 30 million, or even higher!

However, that would only happen after one has mastered or perfected the art of alchemy.

"It's time for Brother Gu to come over."

Jiang Cheng took out his cell phone and called Gu Changkong.

The latter was in the building at the moment. After receiving the news, he rushed to the alchemy room in less than a minute.

Jiang Cheng didn't waste any time and refined another batch of pills.

It took three hours to successfully refine a furnace of top-grade awakening pills.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Gu Changkong was so shocked that he stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

Then, a feeling of ecstasy took over his heart.

He originally thought that Jiang Cheng would need to spend more than 1 billion medicinal materials to achieve this. As a result, Jiang Cheng achieved this with only 200 or 300 million!
From now on, although the refining process is still in ten portions, the profit margin has reached 100%. With the remaining more than 1 billion medicinal materials, the profit can conservatively be doubled.

If Jiang Cheng's alchemy skills improve further in the future, he will earn even more, and this is almost a foregone conclusion!

"Brother Jiang, you..."

As soon as Gu Changkong opened his mouth, Jiang Cheng answered first: "With my current mental strength and alchemy skills, I can refine four furnaces a day, which is the limit."

"Ah."

Gu Changkong nodded.

Four furnaces.

Assuming three hours per furnace, that would be twelve hours.

This level of work intensity is among the highest among the many alchemists in the black market.

"Brother Jiang, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you make one less furnace or three furnaces a day, it doesn't matter. When your level improves, I believe the time it takes to refine the pills will be shortened a lot." Gu Changkong said.

"Fortunately."

Jiang Cheng smiled.

"If possible, I would even like to refine five furnaces a day, but I am only a third-level spiritualist now, and my mental strength is not enough."

Gu Changkong immediately heard the hidden meaning in Jiang Cheng's words and smiled knowingly.

"Brother Jiang, I was just about to tell you that our previous profit-sharing ratio was 60% to 40% based on the total value of the pills every day, 60% for me and 40% for you, but right now, it's a bit inappropriate.

You see, although this batch of pills is worth 10 million, its cost is 5 million. If you take 40%, then I can only get 1 million. This is obviously not appropriate. How about we change it to profit, 50-50 split?
Just like this furnace of elixirs in front of us, the profit is 5 million, and it is split 50-50. We each take 2.5 million. If you refine four furnaces a day, you can earn 10 million a day, and no one will suffer a loss. "

“Sure, but I still owe Brother Gu two or three hundred million, plus the herbs I spent before, even if I want to pay it back with my current share, it will probably take more than a day or two.

So, I have a small request, that is, can I take a few pills of the pills I refine every day? After all, my mental power is now used in refining pills, and I have no spare energy to cultivate my mental power. I can only rely on pills to improve my mental power slowly and steadily. "

Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly.

It felt good to borrow money at the beginning, but now that it’s time to pay it back, it’s not so good anymore.

But he couldn't not pay it back. Conservatively speaking, it would be around 400 to 500 million, which is enough to buy a fourth-grade high-level defensive treasure.

"Brother, you are too honest. If you kept some secretly, I wouldn't know." Gu Changkong couldn't help laughing.

This is not a strange thing. Even among the alchemists in the black market, I dare not say 100%, but at least 70% have this problem.
But he didn't have a good solution. It was like the proverb, "If the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be harvested." Is there really a causal relationship between these two things? No, there was nothing he could do. It was just a helpless self-mockery.

You can't really keep an eye on it all day long. As long as it's not too excessive, you can just turn a blind eye to it.

"The main reason is that my brother is so good to me. Even if I have this idea, I am embarrassed to do it." Jiang Cheng shrugged.

Gu Changkong felt warm in his heart, he really was not wrong about the person.

"How about this, the pills you refine every day will be split 50-50, and your share will be used to offset the money you owe. In addition, I will give you a benefit. For every batch of pills you refine, I will give you a top-grade awakening pill as a reward.

For example, today, if you refine four furnaces, I will give you four top-level awakening pills. If one day, you refine ten furnaces a day, I will give you ten pills so that you can ensure your daily practice. When you pay off your debts, this benefit will be cancelled. How about it?"

People are not machines. If he were to refine pills every day just to pay off his debts, he would have no motivation to do so in the long run.

But the money Jiang Cheng owed was indeed not a small amount, not to mention that about half of it was borrowed from his father.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Gu."

Jiang Cheng quickly expressed his gratitude.

This is equivalent to giving him one million for every batch of pills he refines.

As the number of furnaces used for refining increases, it will also bring in a very considerable income.

In a month or so, he will be able to pay off his debts. By that time, his daily income will not be the current 10 million. Conservatively estimated, it will double.

And by that time, he would be able to master the Shadowless Heart Sutra and become a master of the Force.

"Haha, didn't I say it before? If I, Gu Changkong, eat a bite, you will definitely eat a bite. Anyway, keep going, I'm rooting for you."

Gu Changkong smiled and patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder.

After counting today's pills, he took out four top-grade awakening pills, put them in a small bottle, and handed it to Jiang Cheng.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After returning home, Jiang Cheng put away the bottle of Refreshing Pills and did not take them immediately. After all, the number of pills was still too small. When he had saved up 100 million, he would take them all at once. By that time, his mental power would be able to reach a higher level and become a fifth-level mentalist.

“I hope everything will go well in the next period of time.”

Jiang Cheng said to himself.

I have been refining elixirs here for several months, and now it is finally time to collect the rewards. I hope no accidents will happen again.

On the other side, Gu Changkong returned to his residence and was too excited to sleep.

Jiang Cheng's ability was beyond his expectation. Even if he calculated the current profit of 10 million per day, it would be 300 million per month! How much was the profit of the black market in a month? It was only 200 to 300 million, which was doubled!
But he knew very well that this was just the beginning.

Once Jiang Cheng's alchemy skills are further improved, it won't be a dream to double the monthly profit.

By then, not only his father, but the entire family would probably be shocked and look at him in a new light.

"Buzz, buzz."

Suddenly, the cell phone on the coffee table vibrated.

Seeing the caller, Gu Changkong's excitement was instantly extinguished as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. (End of this chapter)
