Chapter 45: The Rise of the Strong, Ning Family Head Gets Angry

  Just as Chu Yun had successfully refined the elixir, Jin Bi Han burst in to inform him that someone at Tian Ge Shu Yuan had already succeeded in refining an elixir to cure the plague and had received recognition and academic credits.

  "What's wrong, didn't you hear what I just said? You're all still so calm and collected..." Jin Bi Han said with a slightly complaining tone. The salt field incident, Chu Yun hadn't kept it from her either. But as for the Shu Family Island matter, Jin Bi Han had found resonance in it, hence she was very concerned about it.

  Chu Yun's mouth corners rose, and she burst out laughing.

  Jin Bi Han couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You're still smiling!"

  Yan Que also smiled and explained, "If it's just a matter of being able to solve the epidemic with Dan medicine, I also possess this level of alchemy. However, when it comes to alchemy, it's not just about the efficacy of the Dan, but also the cost."

  Jin Bi Han was taken aback for a moment, as if he had suddenly realized something.

  Chu Yun continued, "Do you think that in the entire Zhuxing Archipelago, there isn't a single alchemist who can concoct a medicinal pill to cure the epidemic of the Biyu Sea? It's clearly impossible. There are many talented people in the world. However, manufacturing low-cost and highly effective medicinal pills is quite difficult."

  "Ah, I see." Jin Bi Han's eyes lit up as she grasped the underlying subtlety. "The production of sea salt on all the star islands has always relied on the Bixi seaweed belt. This method is extremely cheap; if we were to use high-cost elixirs, it would be better not to treat it at all. Therefore, researching an elixir that can cure the seaweed epidemic isn't the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is to develop a low-cost elixir that can be widely used!"

  Chu Yun nodded, in his past life's memories, the seaweed epidemic broke out, and there were many elixirs that could solve the epidemic, but they were all too expensive. Not treating it and letting the market fluctuate was equivalent to slow suicide. But if he directly used these elixirs for treatment, it would be tantamount to advancing his own death.

  Demand determines market value.

  When the price of sea salt in the Star Group Islands rises to a certain extent, it is higher than the cost of using expensive elixirs. At that time, people will have no choice but to use these elixirs.

  Of course, whether in the past life or this life, the above situation will not happen. The formula in Chu Yun's memory has a low cost and can completely cure Hai Dai disease.

  "The effect of Dan medicine is extraordinary!" Yan Que reported with a slightly excited tone after the experiment.

  "Let's give it a name." Jin Bi Han suggested.

  "That's called Rise Dan." Chu Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, "The rise of the Shu Family Island will begin from this moment on."

  As expected, Chu Yun's elixir had just made its debut when its excellent healing effects caused a stir in the academy. On that day, the Tian Ge Academy announced that it would set up a special institution to sell the Rising Elixir as the main product and the other three excellent elixirs as supplementary products to the various star islands.

  After being put on the market, Chuiqi Dan quickly gained favor from various island forces with its remarkable therapeutic effect and low price.

  Then, in just three days, the name of Chuiqi Dan spread throughout the Star Island Group, triggering an extremely strong response!

  The Tian Ge Academy made a fortune, and at the same time, Chu Yun, who invented this elixir, also became famous and became a household name in the Xingxing Archipelago.

  "Rise of Dan, Biyu Sea brings Rise of Dan, sea salt yield one thousand eight!"

  "The medicinal properties will not be lost or evaporated, and must be used with the rising elixir."

  "One rising dan can top two falling dan."

  Rumors and gossip are rampant everywhere, all extolling the virtues of Dan's rise.

  In addition to this, another name that has been repeatedly mentioned is Chuyun!

  "I heard that the one who invented the Rising Dan is actually a freshman from Tian Ge Academy."

  "At 13 years old, he defeated the pirate remnants and earned the title of 'Yao Master', now he has also invented the Rising Elixir. The future prospects of Chu Yun's son are boundless!"

  "Who would have thought that the entire Star Island Group was actually saved by a young man named Chu Yun."

  Of course, apart from a sea of astonishingly good reviews, there are also complaints everywhere.

  "The emergence of Dan Hao is good, but the yield is low. Many forces want to decipher it."

  "Every single Dan that has risen has been wrapped in a Tao rhyme Dan garment, and up until now no one has ever successfully cracked the code."

  "Chen Jia Island Master said that whoever can decipher the formula of the Rising Dan will be rewarded with 10,000 Di Sha Shi coins!"

  "The master of Ningjia Island invited a famous alchemy master, specifically to decipher the Rise Dan."

  One wave has not yet subsided when another one rises.

  Everyone knows that if the Rising Elixir can be sold at such a price, it must have an extremely low cost. As long as you're not a fool, you'll think of cracking the formula for the Rising Elixir, which will not only fully satisfy your own needs but also allow you to market it and make a fortune!

  Just as everyone's attention was focused on deciphering the formula, and various orders were flying towards the Tian Ge Academy like snowflakes from the Zhuxing Archipelago, the Shu Family Island deliberately waited for two days, observing the situation before officially taking action.

  Sea salt, a large quantity of sea salt, has appeared on the market, priced at fifty times its original price!

  The Star Group Islands were shocked, one was shocked that the Shu Family Island had so much sea salt reserves. Another was shocked by their prices, which were actually... cheap!

  Yes, it's cheap.

  The price of sea salt in the market has reached 80 times its original price.

  Sea salt produced from Shujia Island was sold out in less than a day due to its cheap price.

  Then Shujiazhu continued to sell the second batch, third batch and so on of sea salt. Each time, the sales quota of sea salt was strictly controlled, but the price kept rising.

  From 50 times the original, to 55 times, and then to 60 times!

  It was such a ridiculous price that all the forces of the Star Archipelago flocked to it. Within a week, Shu Family Island had earned its annual island tax revenue from previous years. Half a week later, the sea salt price of Shu Family Island became the benchmark for the entire Star Archipelago's sea salt market!

  That is to say, it thoroughly affected the sea salt market!

  People find it strange that there are so many sea salt sellers in Zhuxing Island. Many people are very envious.

  It turned out that the problem lay with the Tiān Gē Shū Yuàn (Heavenly Song Academy).

  Almost half of each batch of Rizei Dan produced is sold to Shu Family Island.

  Unfair! Almost everyone was shouting in protest at the same time.

  Regarding this, the head of Tiange Academy personally explained: Since Chu Yun, the alchemist who holds the formula, is the young master of the Shu family's island. Therefore, when selling, we need to consider his wishes. In this regard, the academy only cooperates and cannot intervene.

  There is no fault to be found with reasonable grounds.

  All parties are extremely unwilling, and the island owners are filled with regret and jealousy. Why don't they have such outstanding younger generations in their own families? Looking at the Shu family's island making a fortune every day, they are so envious that their eyes turn red. This huge profit makes them think about it, and they will be eager to get it.

  In the following week, news of various forces approaching Shujia Island frequently appeared in rumors and whispers.

  "Being able to refine such a Dan medicine, young Chu Yun's future is bright and promising. He has been openly favored by the third daughter of the Island Master of Wangjia Island."

  "Mr. Zhao, the island owner, said that they have always been friendly neighbors with the Shu family island. Moreover, during a friendly visit, he formally asked if Chuyun had any marriage engagements."

  "Qianjia Island thought that in fact, Chuyun was very likely to be the island owner's own son who had been separated for many years!"

  "The Lin family recently inquired about their genealogy and discovered that their ancestors and the Shu family's ancestors actually have a very close blood relationship."

  ……

  Ningjia Island, Clan Elder's Meeting

  The atmosphere was so heavy it seemed almost solid.

  Ning's face turned iron-green, his expression stiffened, and he almost turned into a bronze statue.

  The old men didn't dare to breathe heavily, as if a huge stone was pressing on their hearts, and they couldn't even breathe smoothly.

  After a long time, Ningjia Island suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence: "The alchemist you invited, hasn't he deciphered the formula for the Rising Dan yet?"

  An elder in charge of this task immediately stood up and replied respectfully: "Still a little, a bit, after all, the three rhyming Dan clothes are highly dense."

  "A little bit?! A little bit?! " Ning Island Master suddenly bellowed, his white beard trembling, his face red with rage, his angry voice echoing throughout the entire room. "You know it's just a little bit, and we'll let Shu Island make a huge profit, let Shu Island father and son gain fame, and let Ning Island suffer more and more losses!"

  His voice was so loud that it shook the door panels of the room and made them rattle.

  "Island Master, please calm your thunderous anger. No one expected that Chu Yun, that little scoundrel, could actually pull off such a move. The three-rhyme dan clothes are indeed puzzling. The Dan Master has already stated that as long as he has thirty more Rising Pearls for experimentation, he can decipher the formula." An elderly tribe elder spoke up in a gentle tone to advise.

  "Alas." The master of the Ning family let out a deep sigh, closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and fell into silence.

  His thoughts were quite complicated.

  He never expected things would develop to this extent!

  The epidemic of Biliuohai brought a heavy blow to Ningjia Island, but unexpectedly became the opportunity for Shujia Island to rise.

  Tuqi Dan, Tuqi Dan, what a great name...

  Shujia Island is really going to rise!

  All along, the Ning family has been dominating behind the scenes, restricting him economically and signing secret agreements with the surrounding forces of Shu Island to isolate Shu Island. However, after this incident, Shu Island made a big comeback both economically and diplomatically!

  Shu Tianhao's wealth increased by thousands of gold coins every day, and almost every moment, there were envoys from the outer islands coming to fawn on him!

  "The key to all this change is Chu Yun, that little brat!" A flash of inspiration in his mind, the master of Ning Island suddenly opened his eyes wide, after all, he was the master of Ning Island and had already made up his mind!

  "Life, write a letter to Ning Yiyuan immediately and ask her to make every effort to repair and improve her relationship with Chu Yun. It's best if she can get the formula for Buqi Dan. If it's really possible to win over Chu Yun, even if it means sacrificing her dignity, it's worth it."

  "Rebirth, re-enable Bai Di, secretly fund him to form a pirate force. Tell him to be more active in the waters around Shu Jia Island and incite other pirates to unite and destroy. Must suppress the development of Shu Jia Island to the greatest extent."

  "Meanwhile, reappoint, start the family death squad, listen to my appointment at any time, infiltrate the Tian Ge Book Academy and assassinate Chu Yun. This child is so young and has already achieved such a high level of skill. If he is allowed to grow up, he will be even more terrifying than the Star Tiger!"

  With a resounding and powerful tone, and a calm and solemn demeanor, the series of orders from the master of Ningjia Island were thus issued, and the elders all felt their spirits lifted. They all had a sense of pride, feeling that as long as the old island master was still around, Ningjia Island would not fall!
