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

Several days passed.

Jiang Cheng was refining the elixir on the one hand, and meditating on the other hand to restore his mental strength.

In order to improve his proficiency as soon as possible, he even skipped sleep.

However, for spiritualists, there is no need to restore mental strength through sleep. Meditation can be used for recovery in the same way.

Finally, that night, his proficiency in using the Yuehua Pei reached the entry level, and the speed of recovery through meditation became five times faster than before.

In other words, the mental strength that originally took six hours to fully recover can now be fully recovered in just 72 hours, or minutes.

In the alchemy room.

Jiang Cheng opened his eyes, and the mental power in his mind was restored to full strength again.

"This speed is really fast,"

He sighed in his heart.

This is the entry level.

What if you are skilled?

I’m afraid the speed will increase tenfold?
It originally took six hours to recover mental strength once, but now it can be done in more than half an hour?

If all twenty-four hours a day are spent on this, one can recover mental strength more than forty times.

He is now a fifth-level mentalist, and one top-level awakening pill can fully restore him to full health.

Recovering more than forty times is equivalent to having more than forty top-level awakening pills a day!
The amount of top-level awakening pills needed to advance from level five to level six is ​​only 400. At this rate, it will take about ten days for one's mental strength to break through again.

"Now it seems that alchemy is not very cost-effective for me."

Jiang Cheng looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him.

This is still the level of Yuehua Pei's proficiency. If it is higher, the speed of mental power recovery will be twenty times, thirty times, or even forty times!
At forty times, mental strength can be fully restored once every nine minutes, which is equivalent to earning a top-level awakening pill every nine minutes.

And what about alchemy?

Even if his alchemy skills reached perfection and he could refine a batch of top-grade awakening pills in two hours, on average, it would take twenty minutes to make each pill. Not to mention, these ten pills certainly were not all his, because one could not save on medicinal materials, and even if he went to buy them himself, he would have to have relevant channels.

However, by restoring mental strength through meditation, there is no such worry at all. You can do it anytime and anywhere, alone.

However, if he said he didn't want to make pills anymore, Gu Changlin would be the first to disagree. After all, this was his value here.

Including Old Qin from the resistance army, they also valued his ability in alchemy.

"It would be nice to find a place to live in seclusion."

Thinking of this, this idea popped into his mind.

But then he smiled bitterly.

At this point, it was no longer realistic for him to find a place to hide.

Not to mention anything else, the Gu family alone would never give up looking for him.

But if he becomes a spiritual master, the potential of the Yuehua Pendant will be basically exhausted. At that time, he will have to find ways to buy more advanced treasures.

He shook his head and put these thoughts aside. After all, he had just reached the beginner level in the use of the Yuehua Pei. At the moment, refining two more batches of top-grade Awakening Pills every day should not be underestimated. In another ten or twenty days, the alchemy technique would be perfected, and he would be able to produce four more batches of top-grade Awakening Pills every day.

If possible, he wanted to buy some items used by grandmasters, such as weapons, talismans, defensive treasures, etc.

But the same thing goes, if you don't want others to know, you better not do it. If he takes these to buy from others, I'm afraid it will reach Gu Changlin's ears in a few days.

Time passed, and a few more days went by.

On this day, a house with an ancient charm in the Gu family compound was full of people.

There were old men with white hair, young men in their teens, and more middle-aged people who looked to be in their thirties, forties, or fifties. If Jiang Cheng was here, he would definitely recognize Gu Changlin sitting among them, as well as Gu Changjun who had tried to kill him many times.

Today is the day when the Gu family holds their monthly meeting, and all important members of the family will come.

The middle-aged man with a serious expression sitting in the first seat was the current head of the Gu family and the father of Gu Changlin and others, Gu Tianyuan.

From time to time someone stood up and reported the situation.

Gu Tianyuan listened quietly. If he felt there was a problem, he would ask. If there was no problem, he would nod and let the person sit down.

This scene is very similar to the board meeting of a large company in movies and TV dramas.

Soon, it was Gu Changlin's turn.

He stood up, saluted to Gu Tianyuan, then looked around and began to report on his work progress.

Although his father is the head of the Gu family, and the next head will come from their branch, in such a large family, the head cannot do whatever he wants, as there will be various interest groups.

He actually hated this kind of meeting, especially when he saw some elders arguing over some interests and making ugly gestures.

Gu Tianyuan listened silently, occasionally asking a question or two, and Gu Changlin answered them fluently.

He nodded, then looked at the others present and asked as before: "Does anyone among you have any questions?"

A few people looked eager to make something.

"Brother, I have a problem."

Gu Changjun stood up.

"Fifth brother, what's your problem?"

Gu Changlin asked with a smile.

"I heard that you recently hired an alchemist who can make five or six batches of top-grade awakening pills every day. The net profit alone is 20 to 30 million. Why didn't you mention this in the monthly report?"

When these words were spoken, many people present were shocked.

"What? You can refine five or six batches of top-grade Awakening Pills in one day?"

"Is it a top-grade awakening pill? Did I hear it right?"

"Changjun, what he said seemed to be the top-grade awakening pill, and he also said that the net profit was 20 to 30 million a day?"

"What? 20 or 30 million a day? Wouldn't that be 500 or 600 million a month?"

Many members of the ancient family were jealous.

Many of them work hard every month and only earn a few million. Not many of them earn tens of millions, let alone hundreds of millions.

They could understand that Gu Changlin earned hundreds of millions a month, but could he make hundreds of millions just from an alchemist?

is it possible?

If it were true, they would be really jealous.

Gu Changlin sensed something was wrong in the air and pretended to be dumb: "Fifth brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Brother, you don't understand? It's okay, I'll explain it in more detail."

Gu Changjun smiled wryly and said, "That man's name is Jiang Cheng. He was originally from the slums, but was later discovered by my third brother and trained to become an alchemist..."

He told everything about Jiang Cheng.

Everyone present nodded after hearing this, feeling that what Gu Changjun said made sense. They might actually have heard of this.
