Within a discussion hall of the Sainte Residence, Carmelita and Andre were engaged in a heated discussion. Han Shuo sat across from the two and listened to their conversation with a smile on his face.
"Second Uncle, each of those medicinal pellets is worth at least a hundred black crystal coins. Their effects are just too miraculous!" Carmelita said in a deep voice.
"Lass, don't you know what a hundred black crystal coins means? Why don't you know how to save it for the family?" Andre shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.
"If I say it's worth a hundred black crystal coins, then it's worth it. Don't you believe me, Second Uncle?" Carmelita said in displeasure.
"At least wait until I see if the medicinal pellets are really that effective. I know that you have a good relationship with Brian, but you have to distinguish between work and personal matters!" Andre sighed. He thought to himself, If you don't take care of the household, how would you know the troubles of a large family? If those medicinal pellets aren't worth that price, I will be the first person your father will lecture, not you.
"Brian, give him a medicinal pellet. Let him find someone to try it on," Carmelita instructed.
Han Shuo knew that Carmelita was doing all this to help him and felt rather touched. He took a medicinal pellet and handed it to Andre, explaining how to use it.
"Brian, don't worry. As long as the medicinal pellets are worth the price, with this lass helping you, we won't purposely lower the price. After I try it, we can discuss the details of our partnership, "Andre was very polite to Han Shuo out of respect for Carmelita.
"Of course," Han Shuo nodded smilingly.
Andre left with Han Shuo's medicinal pellets. It was time to test the medicinal pellets. Han Shuo was very confident in the Pill of Rejuvenation he refined and wasn't worried in the slightest.
"Alright, you should have a shop of your own next. Only then can you expand your business," Carmelita bunched her brows and said. Carmelita bunched her brows and thought for a while before she said, "But you only have less than three hundred black crystal coins. It is far from enough to buy a shop in the City of Shadows. It would be very troublesome to rent one. How about this, I will buy a shop for you. You can return it to me when you have the money."
Han Shuo did not have a fixed residence in the City of Shadows and had been renting gymnasiums to train himself. He understood that every inch of land in the City of Shadows was worth a thousand black crystal coins. The remaining black crystal coins in his possession were far from enough for Han Shuo to purchase a shop.
However, Han Shuo didn't want to owe Carmelita too many favors. After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo took out a lightning divine crystal from his spatial ring and handed it to Carmelita, saying, "How many crystal coins is this divine crystal worth?"
Carmelita was a knowledgeable person. She immediately cried out and looked at him in surprise. "Why do you have divine crystals in your hands?"
"Last time in the mountain valley, I happened to pick up a piece from someone's body. How much is it worth?" Han Shuo randomly made up a story.
"Divine crystals are good stuff. Hmm, this divine crystal is worth at least five thousand black crystal coins. I didn't expect you to be so lucky!" Carmelita took the divine crystal from Han Shuo's hand, shot a glance at Han Shuo, and said, "Alright, I know what you mean. I will use this divine crystal to exchange for a shop for you. Don't worry, with me around, everything can be settled."
When Carmelita wholeheartedly helped Han Shuo, she did things very quickly. Han Shuo followed behind Carmelita and saw that it took her at least three days to exchange a divine crystal for a shop not too far away from the Sainte Residence. The shop was over forty meters tall and had a total of three floors. Although it was a small shop in the City of Shadows, it should be worth more than five thousand black crystal coins. The reason why Carmelita was able to purchase the shop with just one divine crystal of lightning was because of her reputation as a wicked woman.
Han Shuo was indeed saved a lot of trouble with Carmelita taking care of all the procedures. On the fifth day, Han Shuo had officially moved into the small shop. However, the shop's counter did not display any valuable merchandise.
Han Shuo was not in a hurry. Although the shop was small, he was very satisfied with it. In any case, he now had his own home on Elysium. He no longer needed to stay at the various gymnasiums in the City of Shadows.
The shop had three floors. Han Shuo temporarily left the bottom two floors empty while Han Shuo converted the top floor into a small gymnasium. Although it was only two hundred square meters, it was more than enough for Han Shuo.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. Han Shuo, who had just started, was extremely busy. He first purchased some boundary towers and placed them on the third floor. Carmelita helped him construct two boundaries to prevent the third floor from being unable to support Han Shuo's cultivation. With Carmelita, a highgod, helping to construct the boundaries saved Han Shuo a lot of effort.
It was only after the boundary on the third floor was constructed that the gymnasium could be put to use. After that, Han Shuo himself constructed the second floor. He placed many enormous cabinets filled with grids. The cabinets contained many medicinal ingredients that Han Shuo had collected after arriving on Elysium. Other than that, Han Shuo also purchased a set of bottles and jars used by pharmacists. He made it look like he was going to refine medicines using existing materials.
The second floor only contained some boundaries to prevent others from observing. Han Shuo could complete the second floor by himself. He didn't need Carmelita's help.
Han Shuo used the medicinal ingredients he had collected on Elysium. He didn't use any of the methods used by pharmacists. Instead, he used some rare materials to refine a special cauldron for refining medicines – the Nine Tessellation Cauldron. With specialized tools, the process of refining medicines became much faster. In just half a month, Han Shuo had refined three hundred of the simplest pills, the Pill of Rejuvenation.
Elysium was the material plane with the densest spiritual energy in the universe. Some of the medicinal ingredients in this world contained extraordinary spiritual energy. Han Shuo believed that the effects of the three hundred Pills of Rejuvenation would be very obvious.
After refining the three hundred Pills of Rejuvenation, Han Shuo spent another five days using the remaining medicinal ingredients to refine a few other types of medicines. For example, the Pill of Rejuvenation, which was most suitable for children born on Elysium, and the Pill of Tranquility, which could help to stabilize one's inner demons and empty one's mind, allowing one to comprehend the true essence of one's strength while advancing to a higher realm.
By the time Han Shuo had used up all the medicinal ingredients, he had three hundred Pills of Rejuvenation and two hundred other medicines of various functions. Han Shuo used dazzling multi-colored medicine bottles to store them. It was then that Han Shuo meticulously decorated the first floor of the shop, displaying the medicine bottles with different functions one by one.
Before Han Shuo started refining the medicines, he had told Carmelita that no one was to disturb him. Therefore, Carmelita didn't come to visit Han Shuo during this period of time.
After Han Shuo placed the medicine bottles on the first floor of the shop and opened the tightly shut doors, Carmelita and Andre came to visit Han Shuo two days later.
Compared to the previous cold and courteous manner, Andre was much more cordial this time. Before he even entered the shop, he raised his head and looked at the name above Han Shuo's shop. He laughed heartily and said, "Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Haha, although the name is a little strange, it will definitely become famous in the future."
Han Shuo was arranging the medicines according to their functions on the first floor. When he heard Andre's laughter, he immediately understood that the effects of the Pills of Rejuvenation he gave him previously must have been acknowledged by Andre.
As expected, before Han Shuo could stand up to welcome him, Andre and Carmelita walked in with a smile on their faces. Andre did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly, "Young man, we have tried the medicines you refined. Not bad, really not bad. The price of one hundred black crystal coins per bottle is very reasonable!"
"Brian, we are here to purchase those medicines. Oh, this is it, the Pills of Rejuvenation!" Carmelita pointed to a purple medicine bottle on the counter and said to Han Shuo, "Put them away. We'll take all three hundred bottles. Second Uncle, give him thirty thousand black crystal coins!"
Andre put on a faint smile and was about to take out some black crystal coins to pay the bill. Han Shuo looked at Carmelita with a bitter smile and said, "There are only three hundred bottles in total. If you take all of them, what else can I sell? How about this, you take two hundred bottles first."
Andre stared blankly at Han Shuo's words. Shortly after, he laughed heartily and said, "That's good too. Your shop is here anyway. When you refine new ones, we'll come and take them."
"That would be best." Han Shuo smilingly put away the two hundred bottles of Pills of Rejuvenation and handed them over to Andre. At the same time, he received twenty thousand black crystal coins.
Twenty thousand black crystal coins! On Elysium, this was no small fortune. Generally speaking, a midgod who joined a large family clan could at most earn around three thousand black crystal coins for ten years. Only a large family clan like the House of Sainte could afford to pay a midgod five thousand black crystal coins for ten years.
The materials used to refine the Pills of Rejuvenation were harvested by Han Shuo from the surrounding mountain ranges. It only took him slightly more than ten days to refine them. After selling them to Andre, Han Shuo earned twenty thousand black crystal coins. Twenty thousand black crystal coins was enough for Han Shuo to purchase a decent gymnasium in the City of Shadows!
After collecting the heavy twenty thousand black crystal coins, Han Shuo suddenly felt that it was indeed very fast to accumulate wealth through the use of medicinal pellets. At this rate, it wouldn't take him many years to accumulate a fortune that only a small family clan could possess. The sudden wealth that fell into his hands caused Han Shuo's imagination to run wild. His heart started to soar.
"Hey, brat!" Carmelita lightly patted on Han Shuo's shoulder. When Han Shuo came back to his senses, Carmelita said in a carefree manner, "It's just twenty thousand black crystal coins and you are already this happy. You are going to do big business in the future. How can you be satisfied with just this?"
Han Shuo put on a carefree smile and said, "Haha, I have only been on Elysium for a short time and I understand the importance of crystal coins. My biggest fortune is only three hundred black crystal coins. Now that I have twenty thousand black crystal coins in my hands, it's only natural that I would feel a little absent-minded. There's nothing strange about that! "
"Brian, these medicinal pellets of yours are really great! In the City of Shadows, members of large family clans will be sent to various places to temper themselves. It is inevitable that they will get injured, and they will get injured repeatedly. With a supply of these medicinal pellets, it is only a matter of time before you strike it rich. There is no need to make a fuss about it. Right, in the future, our House of Sainte will come here every day to order some medicinal pellets in case of emergency. You are going to be very busy! "Sainte laughed heartily.
"As long as there are crystal coins to pay, I will be more than happy to!" Han Shuo replied with a smile. After thinking for a moment, he took out three vermilion medicinal pellets from his space ring. As soon as the pellets appeared, a fragrant aroma filled the air.
"It smells so good! What are these medicinal pellets? What do they do?" Carmelita cried out in surprise.
"These are for you!" Han Shuo handed the pellets to Carmelita and sternly said, "These are medicinal pellets that I have specially refined for detoxification. Due to a strange illness that you had when you were young, there has always been a small amount of toxin in your body. After you cultivated the edict of destruction, those toxins will naturally no longer have any effect on your divine body. However, those toxins will always remain in your body. That is why your skin has become so rough. Err … the color isn't that great either. I believe that these medicinal pellets will be of some help to you. You can give it a try."
"Wha, what?!" Carmelita absentmindedly held the fragrant and intoxicating medicinal pill as she mumbled, "It's been so many years. Is, is it still useful …" A large part of the reason for Carmelita's strange personality was her ugly appearance. From this aspect, it could be seen that she was not completely unconcerned about her appearance. Carmelita was also a woman, and as long as one was a woman, there was no woman who could truly remain indifferent in this aspect.
"I also don't know if it will be of any use. In any case, just take it and give it a try. If it really works, I can refine more for you," Han Shuo said. The toxins in Carmelita's body had been in her body for far too long and had long become a part of her divine body. As a highgod who cultivated in the edict of destruction, the divine energy in her divine body was astonishing. Even Han Shuo wasn't completely confident in his ability to refine it.
"If Carmelita's condition improves, this shop of yours will become the largest in the City of Shadows. I promise you this!" Andre solemnly promised to Han Shuo. It wasn't that the House of Sainte had not tried to solve the problem that had plagued Carmelita for so many years. However, they had hired many pharmacists to concoct medicines but to no avail. Everyone said that the divine energy in Carmelita's divine body was just too powerful and that the medicines would have no effect at all. Unless she gave up on her terrifying strength, no one could do anything about it.
Carmelita knew the importance of strength. How could she give up on her terrifying strength? Therefore, all along, she had been unable to resolve this problem. As time passed, she had completely given up on it. She had long resigned herself to her fate and no longer harbored any illusions.
"Bu, Brian, will it really work?" Carmelita's voice was trembling. She couldn't suppress the hope that was reignited in her heart.
"I can't guarantee a hundred percent, but there will definitely be an effect!" Han Shuo replied in a deep voice. It was impossible for the medicine to turn Carmelita from an ugly woman into a beautiful woman. However, if the toxins in her body could really be expelled, at the very least, Carmelita wouldn't be as frightening as she was now.
"Huh? Why is there a new shop here? Celestial Pearl Pharmacy? What a strange name! Teng Fei, are you interested in taking a look? " A familiar voice sounded from outside. A moment later, Cage, Teng Fei, and his sister Eve of the House of Lavers walked into the shop.
Andre and Carmelita had their backs to them. When they saw Han Shuo standing in the middle, they coldly groaned and said, "Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road!" Then, they walked over with large strides.
