Book 2: Chapter 75: Besides being rich and handsome, what else do you have?



"Too much! Too much! Damn you, Lei Yang Yu! Damn you, Wang Shouzhe! I, Huangfu Jin Huan, swear to avenge this humiliation!"

In his anger, he kicked over a stone table in the courtyard. Still not feeling satisfied, he punched a training stone cauldron next to him.

"Bang!"

The stone cauldron instantly shattered into countless pieces.

The fragments flew in all directions, but Huangfu Jin Huan didn\'t care. He was protected by his Xuan Qi, which would deflect any flying debris before it could touch him.

After smashing the stone cauldron, he still felt unsatisfied and wanted to vent his anger on other things in the courtyard.

"Ah~ Clan Leader, Clan Leader, please calm down, calm down."

The steward who had followed him in was startled and hurriedly tried to stop Huangfu Jin Huan.

However, Huangfu Jin Huan wouldn\'t listen to him.

With a casual exertion of strength, he shook off the old steward and kicked over a landscape tree.

The steward\'s face instantly wrinkled like a bitter gourd.

This stone cauldron, this stone table, they were all custom-made, even the landscape tree was a hundred-year-old tree, all together they were worth at least a hundred Top Gold. Now, they were all ruined.

The clan\'s money had been drained, and there wasn\'t much left in the account.

But he dared not complain, nor did he dare to provoke the clan leader at this time. He could only suppress his fear and advise, "Clan Leader, anger won\'t solve the problem. You need to calm down to make those who kicked us when we were down pay the price, don\'t you agree?"

"You\'re right, they must pay the price."

Hearing this, Huangfu Jin Huan, whose mind was almost filled with rage, finally calmed down a bit.

He stood with his hands behind his back, sneering, "They pulled out hundreds of thousands of Top Gold just to disgust me. I want to see how they will end this. Is the livestock business that easy to do?"

"Right, right, right!" The old steward nodded vigorously, "You\'re right."

"The livestock business requires professional skills. Our Huangfu\'s Clan has been operating for hundreds of years, and only then have we developed the ranch to its current scale." Huangfu Jin Huan became more confident as he spoke, and his eyes gradually sharpened, "A bunch of outsiders rashly entering the livestock business, who knows how much money they will lose. When the time comes, they won\'t even have a place to cry."

"Yes, yes, yes! You\'re absolutely right!"

......

Time flew by.

Half a month had passed since the auction of the Huangfu\'s Clan assets, and all the noise and discussions gradually settled down.

The reputation and prestige of the Huangfu\'s Clan plummeted in this incident, no longer the respected and admired noble family of the past.

On the other hand, the Wang\'s Clan seized this opportunity to greatly increase their reputation. They suddenly became popular in Changning Guard, and even the ordinary members of the Wang\'s Clan became sought after.

Changning Guard had three Dan Pharmacies.

These three Dan Pharmacies belonged to three different forces, one of which was operated by the Changning Xu\'s Clan.

As a clan develops upward, the population will increase, and the demand for low-grade Dan medicine will gradually increase. In this case, if all Dan medicine has to rely on external procurement, it is easy to be suppressed by others, and the cost is also unbearable.

Even though a "Small Peiyuan Dan" only costs ten Top Gold, the cost is still huge when the quantity is large.

Any clan that wants to grow will mostly cultivate their own Dan Pharmacists.

Even if it\'s just a mature first-order Dan Pharmacist, it can save a lot of expenses for the clan over time.

The seventh of the "Shou" generation of the Wang\'s Clan, Wang Shouye, is the first Dan Pharmacist cultivated by the Wang\'s Clan.

He was arranged to study Dan medicine knowledge with a Dan Pharmacist in the Changning Xu\'s Clan\'s Dan Pharmacy when he was very young. Now, after more than nine years, with his own efforts and the support of his family, he has become a fairly mature first-order Dan Pharmacist.

One day.

As usual, Wang Shouye first went to his master Xu Ningchao to pay his respects and asked a few questions that he couldn\'t figure out. After gaining some insights, he went to his exclusive Dan furnace room in the backyard of the Dan Pharmacy.

This Dan furnace room is a standard first-order Dan furnace room, from the structural design to the fuel used for the Dan furnace, it can only refine first-order Dan medicine.

In the Dan furnace room, the furnace fire was burning vigorously.

Seeing Wang Shouye come in, the two boys who were fanning the furnace immediately stood up and saluted, "Seventh Young Master."

They were the rotating furnace boys.

In Wang Shouye\'s exclusive Dan furnace room, there were a total of four exclusive furnace boys like them.

They were only fourteen or fifteen years old, all smart and talented boys with certain cultivation qualifications, carefully selected from the Wang\'s Clan\'s side branches or the families of the clan\'s servants and farmers.

They started assisting Wang Shouye from the age of twelve. After a few years of learning, once they have learned the basic knowledge of Dan refining and are familiar with the process of Dan refining, they can start learning to refine Dan.

Wang Shouye had also started this way.Once their skills matured, the Wang\'s Clan would have its own team of alchemists.

Only the marriage alliance between the Changning Xu Clan and the Wang\'s Clan, coupled with the numerous benefits secretly offered by the Wang\'s Clan, could make such an operation possible. Otherwise, no alchemy workshop would ever train alchemists for other families.

"Dispense with the formalities."

Wang Shouye waved his hand, reminding them, "Keep a close eye on the heat for this batch of Minor Nourishing Pills. My master said that if the success rate of this batch reaches seventy percent, I can try my hand at second-grade elixirs."

The Minor Nourishing Pill is the most widely used first-grade elixir, indispensable to any family.

As long as it can be produced, there will be no shortage of market demand. Over the years, the elixir Wang Shouye has produced the most is the Minor Nourishing Pill.

Most of the raw materials are supplied by the Wang\'s Clan, and Wang Shouye has already lost more than twenty thousand Top Gold on this.

Yes, lost.

The cultivation of an alchemist has always been extremely costly. Only through countless failures and accumulated experience can an alchemist achieve rapid growth.

Because the Minor Nourishing Pill is produced by many people, the price has never exceeded ten Top Gold each.

The cost of producing a batch of Minor Nourishing Pills is sixty Top Gold. Only if six pills are successfully produced in a batch can it break even. Reaching this level is barely considered a qualified first-grade alchemist.

Now, the average success rate of Wang Shouye\'s Minor Nourishing Pills is 6.3 per batch, mostly between six and seven. Occasionally, he would accidentally fail, producing less than six.

If he can maintain a consistent output of seven pills per batch, he can maintain a long-term profit. The twenty thousand Top Gold previously lost by the Wang\'s Clan could gradually be earned back.

"Really?!"

Upon hearing that they could try to produce second-grade elixirs, the rotating furnace boy on duty couldn\'t believe his eyes.

"Of course it\'s true." Wang Shouye glared at them, "Would I deceive you?"

"That\'s great!!"

The furnace boys were immediately excited.

They knew that the seventh prince had already begun studying the various theoretical knowledge of second-grade elixirs. Once he became a real second-grade alchemist, his status would naturally be different.

Their status as furnace boys would also rise with the tide.

For a moment, they all became extremely motivated, and their control of the heat became particularly focused and careful.

Wang Shouye naturally also performed a series of extremely skilled alchemy operations.

More than two hours later, the pill furnace was opened amidst a surge of heat.

"One, two, three, four..." The furnace boys immediately crowded around to count, loudly announcing the count as they went.

Wang Shouye\'s heart immediately rose.

"Six...seven!" The furnace boys were overjoyed, "Seventh prince, seven Minor Nourishing Pills have been produced!"

"Phew~ That\'s great~"

Wang Shouye breathed a sigh of relief, also becoming excited.

This was his third consecutive batch of Minor Nourishing Pills with a yield of seven, meaning he earned ten Top Gold from this batch. This also meant that his recent performance had significantly improved!

Wang Shouye couldn\'t help but smile.

In fact, his pressure over the years has also been great.

The cost of fifty years\' worth of Purple Leaf Tuber Fleeceflower Root and auxiliary materials was not low, but his fourth brother\'s supply had never been interrupted. When he started, he lost everything on the first batch, then gradually had a success rate of one to two pills, until now, after more than nine years, the success rate has reached six to seven pills.

The hardships and pressures are truly indescribable to outsiders.

The news of Wang Shouye\'s successful production of seven Minor Nourishing Pills once again quickly spread throughout the entire alchemy workshop.

This meant that he had become a mature first-grade alchemist who could consistently make a profit, not just a narrowly defined alchemist who could produce first-grade elixirs.

An alchemist of this level could establish a foothold in any alchemy workshop and have a certain social status.

At the same time.

Inside the storefront of the Xu Clan\'s alchemy workshop, the two resident first-grade alchemists looked at each other after hearing the news.

They were both in their fifties, and it took them more than thirty years to become profitable first-grade alchemists.

But Wang Shouye only took a mere nine years.

It\'s really a case of \'comparisons are odious\'.

One of the middle-aged alchemists said gloomily, "This Wang Shouye... apart from being born into a good family, having money, and having good looks, what else does he have that\'s better than us?"

"Back in the day, we were all tested to have the aptitude for alchemy." The other middle-aged alchemist was also quite unconvinced, "But after becoming apprentices and starting as furnace boys, every step was extremely difficult. We were grateful for the occasional opportunity to produce a batch of pills. Wang Shouye just relies on his family\'s wealth to produce batch after batch without considering the cost. It\'s all just brute force."

"If I had his background, I guarantee I\'d be faster than him."

Just as the two middle-aged alchemists were complaining bitterly.

Inside the alchemy workshop.

Suddenly, two groups of young girls appeared.

Among them, one group of girls was led by a beautiful young woman of about eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a light blue ice silk dress, with a gentle demeanor.

The leader of the other group was a girl dressed in a fiery red fire spirit silk outfit, full of youthful vitality, beautiful, with a bit of a spicy feel.

Both of them were accompanied by four or five girls of similar age, and were widely admired, obviously coming from notable backgrounds.

The girl in the red outfit glanced at the girl in the blue dress, a hint of mockery in her eyes: "Huangfu Qianqian, you actually have the nerve to come and support our Wang Shouye? Don\'t you know what kind of mess your Huangfu\'s Clan and our Wang\'s Clan have gotten into?"

"Lei Yanyun, Shouye is not just yours, and you are not from Wang\'s Clan." Huangfu Qianqian retorted angrily, "It\'s inevitable for some conflicts to arise between noble families, but that won\'t affect my sacred feelings for Shouye."

From the conversation between the two girls, it was clear that they both came from prominent families. One was a lady from the Huangfu\'s Clan, and the other was a miss from the Lei Clan.

Previously, Wang Shouye\'s supporters were not limited to these two, but others with less prestigious backgrounds had already been squeezed out by them. Between the two of them, neither was willing to concede to the other.

Here we go again!

Middle-aged alchemists A and B, upon seeing this scene, both shook their heads in disapproval.

These young girls nowadays, they really have no sense of shame.

Back in their youth, girls were much more reserved and modest. They wouldn\'t even give you a second glance if you pursued them, let alone chase after boys themselves.

Sigh~~ The world is going downhill, people are not as they used to be.

Huangfu Qianqian and Lei Yanyun, both had a strong hostility in their eyes.

Then, they each ordered their followers to display the banners they had prepared.

They read:

"Congratulations to Shouye for becoming the youngest outstanding first-level alchemist in Changning Guard."

"Wishing Shouye to become the youngest second-level alchemist in Changning Guard soon."

Then the two girls started to glare at each other again, their hostility unabated.

Upon receiving the news, Wang Shouye rushed out, hurriedly thanking the two young ladies. He repeatedly stated that he was just a beginner in alchemy, and did not deserve the title of outstanding, and felt unworthy of the two ladies\' misplaced affection.

"Shouye, I heard you\'re going to start refining second-level Yuan Pei Pills." Huangfu Qianqian said, "I don\'t have much to support you with, but you can take these hundred-year-old Purple Leaf Tuber Fleeceflower Roots to practice."

"Shouye, don\'t take her stuff." Lei Yanyun advised, "The Huangfu\'s Clan is too cunning, they might trap you one day. Shouye, why don\'t you come to our Lei Clan\'s Pill Workshop? My grandfather said he admires you a lot, he promises to teach you well."

"Lei Yanyun, you\'re talking nonsense." Huangfu Qianqian stomped her foot in anger, "I think you\'re the one with ulterior motives, trying to lure Shouye over to marry into your family?"

"I didn\'t say I wanted Shouye to marry into our family, I just want to help Shouye."

"You\'re not sincere, you must be plotting something. I\'m different, I would even elope with Shouye if he asked."

Their back and forth made the middle-aged alchemists A and B exchange glances, both shaking their heads in disapproval. The world is going downhill, the world is going downhill.

However, they no longer dared to criticize Wang Shouye in person.

A bald alchemist in the pill workshop had been sacked by those girls.

Wang Shouye was filled with bitterness. He just wanted to quietly learn alchemy, why was it so difficult? These young ladies were really too troublesome.

Just as he was feeling helpless.

A slightly hoarse but charming voice rang out: "Hehehe~~ Shouye, you\'re really popular." As she spoke, a beautiful figure flashed into the Xu Clan\'s Pill Workshop from outside.

Her arrival was like a gust of wind, sweeping across the entire front of the Xu Clan\'s Pill Workshop.

It made the middle-aged alchemists A and B, as well as some of the scattered customers, stare in awe.

The woman was dressed in a red armor and black flag, her figure tall and fit. Her fiery red Xuanwu female outfit was not made of spirit silk, but was a leather armor forged from the skin of a third-level fire beast.

The red armor was not new, with several claw marks or bite marks from some fierce creature. But she obviously cherished her battle armor very much, the damaged parts had been carefully repaired, and it was often maintained, giving off a faint restrained luster.

At her waist hung a long sword, the frosted leather scabbard was old but not dirty, and the hilt had a thick layer of patina due to long-term grip. It was clear that this sword was not just for show, but a real weapon.

Under the fluttering black flag, a claw mark scar could be vaguely seen on her fair and slender neck. It added a strong sense of killing to her heroic demeanor.

"Who is this..."

Upon seeing this woman affectionately calling Shouye, Huangfu Qianqian and Lei Yanyun immediately showed hostility as if facing a formidable enemy, and their expressions were very serious and solemn.

This woman\'s body was fit, her beauty had a hint of wildness, like a female cheetah returning from a hunt, exuding an indescribable mature charm.

She was very different from the noble girls who grew up in the greenhouse-like environment of Changning Guard.Upon seeing this woman, Wang Shouye\'s eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, the woman grabbed his arm, preventing him from speaking, and dragged him inside. She spoke affectionately, "Shouye, I came here this time because I have important matters to discuss with you. Let\'s go to your room to talk."

The two noble ladies watched as Wang Shouye was forcibly taken away. They looked at each other in shock and anger, but also felt a strong threat. Compared to this woman\'s mature and charming demeanor, they, who were originally quite attractive, suddenly seemed like immature girls.

They were not on the same level as the women they had chased away before.

Once their eyes met, they understood each other\'s intentions. Just like before, they would deal with external threats first before settling internal disputes. With determination, they followed them inside.

The middle-aged alchemists A and B were so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out.

Such a breach of decorum, such a breach of decorum.

Why were there no girls who would act so indecorously towards them?

What was so good about that Wang Shouye?

Was it just because he came from a good family?

Because he was good-looking?

And very rich?

Humph, what\'s so great about that!

The more the middle-aged alchemists A and B thought about it, the more upset and heartbroken they became. Why was there such a huge gap between people?
