Chapter 53: Making a Fortune

  The ropes that had been tied to Qin Luohan's body had long since been untied, but because she had been poisoned by the mutated red-footed bee venom, she struggled too hard and the scars on her hands and feet were very deep. Even with the best ointment, it would take at least seven or eight days for them to heal.

  The scars on her face were even more terrifying, with five deep gashes that were still bleeding profusely.

  As she had expected, the purple jade cream she sent over was used up in just two applications. Zhu Mei hated her so much that every time she saw her, there were hidden fierce lights flashing at the bottom of her eyes.

  Qin Luo pretended to be unaware, every day enthusiastically going to the door to care about her own sister's injury. Every time she left Xiangxiang Garden, there would be sounds of things falling and suppressed angry roars... Liu'er and Xing'er, two maidservants, didn't understand what was happening, but she secretly laughed so hard that she almost got an internal injury.

  The only thing that disappointed her was that Qin Lingyun, as the Martial Saint, actually used his connections to get the remaining few bottles of Purple Jade Ointment from the Divine Doctor Valley. He sent two bottles to Xiangxiang Garden and gave one bottle each to Meng Wanqing and Yun Xueluo, who were also stung.

  Although it was unexpected, Qin Luo quickly put the matter behind her mind. As long as those women didn't change their ways and remained unrepentant, she would have plenty of opportunities to teach them a lesson in the future!

  It won't be so easy if she commits a crime again in her hands.

  In the following days, she rarely left the palace and stayed inside. Even when she went out, it was only to take a look at the shops she had bought.

  The day after Luo Yongshun moved out, Jian Yuyan sent someone to redecorate the shop. In just a few days, the shop was renovated and looked brand new. Even the house behind the shop was repainted and tidied up to look very elegant.

  Half a month later, the shop named Mingyue Pavilion officially opened, and its speed was so fast that even Qin Luoyi couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

  On the opening day, Mingyue Pavilion was decorated with lanterns and streamers, bustling with people. Not only did many cultivators from the cultivation world attend, but also many high-ranking officials from Chu State, including Chuyi Xiu and several princes of the royal family.

  Qin Luo had known that the Jian family was powerful, but it wasn't until now that she truly felt their strength. Just a few days ago, the Emperor had even held a special banquet in the palace to entertain Jian Yuanyan...

  Of course, she didn't go into Mingyue Pavilion, but just sat in the teahouse across from it and took a look.

  For several days in a row, the business at Mingyue Pavilion was exceptionally hot, because inside, there were not only extremely powerful talismans of up to sixth rank, but also seventh-grade elixirs that people had rarely seen before!

  In the past, in the capital city, the highest grade of Dan medicine sold was only six grades at most, and even then, it was extremely rare, with only one or two types... Seventh-grade Dan medicine has never been openly priced and sold anywhere, not even in the entire Chu country, where only the master of Shenyi Valley can refine seventh-grade Dan medicine!

  It's just that the Lord of Shényī Valley personally took action, and the success rate of the 7th-order elixir is also extremely low... I didn't expect that this time, Míngyuè Pavilion came out with several kinds of 7th-order elixirs at once!

  Among these seven-tiered elixirs, there are sacred products that can detoxify and heal wounds, as well as rare treasures that help high-ranking cultivators break through bottlenecks. Because the quality of the refined elixirs is extremely good, within just two days, all the seven-tiered elixirs in Mingyue Pavilion were snapped up, making Qin Luoyi a fortune.

  To know that the price of just one is as high as 500,000 taels of silver! She refined ten seventh-grade elixirs for Jian Yuyan this time, and after deducting costs, she made a net profit of 5.8 million taels!

  So much money, enough for her to squander for a long time!

  Many people who heard the news came two days later, only to find that the high-grade elixir had been snapped up, and they could only sigh in disappointment. Because as early as the first day of opening, Mingyue Pavilion had already announced that the seven-tiered elixir was too rare, sold only once a month, with an uncertain quantity, and would be sold out. Those who couldn't buy it this time could only wait until next month.

  All of this was pre-arranged by Qin Luo Yi and Jian Yue Yan. The ultimate goal of selling elixirs for Qin Luo Yi is to cultivate, no matter how much money she makes, apart from buying spiritual plants, there's nothing else to use it for. She can't just focus on making money from alchemy, she also needs to make time to cultivate!

  Moreover, things are precious because they are rare; if the pavilion sells seven-tiered elixirs every day, even the most valuable things will become ordinary.

  This month's batch is sold out, and those who came late can only wait until next month. To avoid missing out again next month, they all stayed in the capital, quietly waiting for the high-grade elixir to be available.

  To know that for cultivators, having high-grade healing pellets is equivalent to having an extra life! The pellets that help with advancing in rank are even more precious and can help them break through the barriers they couldn't overcome before... High-grade pellets have always been priceless, but now there's a place that specializes in selling them, and you can buy them as long as you're willing to pay. How could this not make them excited?

  With the silver in hand, Qin Luo Yi began to cultivate without any scruples. In just half a month's time, she rose from the peak of the second stage of Qi Refining to the peak of the seventh stage, advancing five stages at an unprecedented speed!

  However, due to her physical constitution, although her spiritual power is increasing, it still cannot flow freely through the meridians in her body and can only be stored in her dantian.

  The book pavilion of Zhen Nan Wang Fu was turned upside down by her, and she still couldn't find a solution to the predicament she was currently in.

  This made Qin Luoyi almost cry without tears.

  Fortunately, the Holy Dragon Continent is vast and boundless, the world is so big that there is nothing strange about it. She can only comfort herself, as long as she works hard, one day she will find a way to solve it.

  Chu Yifeng took advantage of Qin Lingyun's absence from the mansion to sneak into Yingxue Garden several times. However, each time he came in, his face didn't look too good, and later on, it even had a bluish tint. Although he didn't say anything, Qin Luoyi knew in her heart that it was probably because of her marriage contract with Chu Yixiu.

  Such speculation also made her heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

  Ten days later, she successfully broke through the ninth level of the Refining Qi period and entered the realm of a Martial Master, with the spiritual energy in her Dantian becoming even stronger.

  Thinking that the day of selling the 7th level elixirs at Mingyue Pavilion was approaching, she stopped her cultivation and took out some time to refine several types of 7th level elixirs. Together with the remaining ones from before, there were a total of ten varieties. She took one pill from each variety, packed them up and handed them over to Jian Yuyan.

  This sale was even more frantic than the opening day of Mingyue Pavilion, as many people didn't know that Mingyue Pavilion had seven-tiered elixirs for sale. By the time they found out and rushed over, it was already too late.

  But this time it was different, people even tens of thousands of miles away from the capital of Chu State had heard about it and were waiting early.

  Innumerable high-ranking cultivators stared at the elixir in the crystal bottle, their eyes reddening with excitement... Too many people had come, and the ten elixirs were simply a drop in the bucket, unable to meet the demand!

  Finally, Mingyue Pavilion decisively followed the auction house's approach, allowing bidders to compete for the best price, with the highest bidder winning... In just over an hour, ten 7th-grade elixirs were sold out, and the silver coins earned were surprisingly five times higher than Qin Luoyi's previous estimate!

  Xi De Qin Luo Yi Zui Dou He Bu Gong.

  Thinking that although I have left the shop, if it weren't for the golden signboard of the Jian family's powerful background, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand those with strong cultivation and impressive backgrounds on my own.

  He quickly took out 5,000 taels of silver from his gains and rewarded the shop assistants and the boss, and then invited Jian Yuyan and Xiong Sha to the Smoke Rain Building for a grand feast to show their gratitude.
