A way to make money
"Looks like my son is a true genius." Gu Tian Mo let out a sigh. His old heart was comforted. He turned around, took out a purse from between the walls, and threw it into Gu Xuan's hand.
"Here are five hundred gold coins, the last of your father's savings. Take it and buy some pills to help with your cultivation."
A warm feeling flowed in Gu Xuan's heart. This was the feeling that only close relatives could have. He did not need to say anything, and everything was considered for him.
"Father should have been training recently, right?" Gu Xuan lifted his eyebrows and suddenly asked.
"Yes." Gu Tian Mo's face was filled with desolation as he responded in a low voice. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about this issue any further.
Gu Xuan knew that his father's broken Dantian was the greatest pain in his father's heart. After receiving this news, he did not ask any more questions. He bowed and left his father's room.
"Since you've been cultivating all this while, things will be easier."
Gu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. This time, he had enough gold coins to buy elixirs. It was time to give his father a surprise.
After the dantian was shattered, the Origin Human Flame would not be able to contain the body and would scatter. However, if one continued to cultivate, they would still be able to maintain a few strands of the Origin Human Flame.
Under such circumstances, as long as his Dantian was restored, his strength would return to its peak. Of course, it would take a certain amount of time to recover, but no matter how long it would take, it would only take a few years. For a complete recovery, the side effects were negligible.
After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Gu Xuan walked out of the Gu Clan and headed for the Beichen Trading Company in the center of the county city.
The Northstar Trading Company was the only major trading company in the Great Desolate Dynasty, and it monopolized all large-scale transactions. In fact, it didn't just monopolize the Great Desolate Dynasty's transactions; it monopolized the transactions of all the dynasties on the Burning Sky Continent.
Medicinal pills, weapons, and martial techniques were all controlled by the Polaris Trading Firm. Even the Great Desolate Dynasty and several other superpowers couldn't get involved in the trading process. One could see just how frightening the Polaris Trading Firm was.
Every day, the value of the Northstar Trading Company's transactions was no less than the value of the entire Great Desolate Dynasty's several tens of thousands of miles of territory. Although countless forces were envious of the Northstar Trading Company, no one dared to provoke them. This was because the Northstar Trading Company was Nangong Chen's force!
"I haven't seen him for a hundred years. Could it be that Nangong Chen has given up on his cultivation to do business? However, to be able to develop such a large force, his strength must be at least in the top ten of the List of Powerhouses."
Gu Xuan clicked his tongue in wonder. In a hundred years, the changes were too great. Nangong Chen was the first on the Genius Ranking. After a hundred years of cultivation, his strength must be extraordinary.
It was just that ordinary people would not be able to come into contact with this level. Gu Xuan was also not sure what level his group of good friends and disciples had reached.
However, as a small fry, it was quite interesting for him to have such a close friendship with the owner of such a colossus.
Because he only wanted to buy some spiritual herbs, Gu Xuan directly went to a small shop under the North Star Trading Company.
Five hundred gold coins were enough for dozens of families to spend for a year. But to buy elixirs, they could only buy ten first-grade elixirs at most, and they were only low-grade first-grade elixirs. High-grade first-grade elixirs could be sold at a high price of two to three hundred gold coins.
Gu Xuan naturally would not go and purchase medicinal pills. Instead, he purchased several dozen stalks of spirit medicines.
For an alchemist, as long as there were spirit medicines, they could produce a large amount of gold coins.
The elixir that Gu Xuan wanted to refine was the Blood Coagulation Elixir, one of the more expensive first-grade elixirs. After swallowing it, it could strengthen the body and make cultivation twice the result with half the effort. It could achieve about one-tenth of the effect of the Divine Weapon Incantation.
Gu Xuan waved his hand and summoned the Ice Soul Cold Flame out of his body.
"Blood Coagulation Cinnabar Fruit, Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, Eastern Emperor Grass … You want to refine first-grade elixirs?" Yun Xi controlled her body to fly around these spirit medicines. She was a little surprised.
"These are just enough for ten elixirs. I will have to trouble you this time." Gu Xuan nodded and said.
"Hey, damn pervert, what do you take me for? Do you really think that my purification ability is endless? Do you want to tire me to death? I hate greedy people the most, "Yun Xi said angrily.
"If you think that I am greedy, then so be it." Gu Xuan was too lazy to explain to this spirit of the flame who was at odds with him. Her body was also his flame source. Why would he be at odds with his own flame source?
Controlling the flame to turn into a medicine cauldron, Gu Xuan began to refine the elixirs with full concentration.
"This damn pervert! Damn pervert! "
Yun Xi's disgust for Gu Xuan had reached the extreme at this time. Upgrading ten low-grade elixirs to high-grade ones was too much for her, but Gu Xuan only knew how to ask for more. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?
"After he has finished refining these elixirs, I will not purify them for him even if I have to risk self-destruction."
In her anger, Yun Xi did not notice Gu Xuan's exquisite technique at all. The refining process was as smooth as flowing water. After all, he had been in the source of ice and snow all this time, and he only knew a little about refining elixirs.
The process of refining elixirs was too boring, and Yun Xi could not control her body, so she simply took the initiative to sleep.
"Phew!"
After refining for three days, Gu Xuan let out a long breath and quickly sat down cross-legged. Nine vortexes appeared and crazily devoured the Qi of Heaven and Earth. He barely recovered.
Fortunately, he had opened nine chakras. If he had only opened six or seven chakras, his recovery speed would not have been able to keep up. He would probably have to take a Blood Coagulation Pill to ensure that there would not be any hidden injuries.
After refining elixirs, Yun Xi also woke up. She floated to Gu Xuan's face and said angrily, "Don't force me. I can purify at most one elixir for you this time. If you want to save face, don't be so insatiable."
Gu Xuan frowned and took the ten elixirs that he had refined. "I don't think I've ever asked you to purify them. If you can purify even high-grade elixirs, then just pretend I didn't say anything!"
"What? High-grade elixirs?" Yun Xi was shocked. She quickly looked over and saw that the ten Blood Coagulation Pills were all round and smooth. They were all high-grade elixirs.
"How is this possible?" Yun Xi found it hard to believe. A Rank One Alchemist could only refine low-grade elixirs when refining Rank One Elixirs. High-grade elixirs could only be refined by a Rank Two Alchemist.
How old was Gu Xuan? How could he refine elixirs of this quality?
Thinking of how she had misunderstood Gu Xuan's intentions and how she had confidently scolded Gu Xuan for so long, Yun Xi wished she could find a hole to hide in.
It seemed that everything that had happened recently was her self-righteousness.
