Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 730 - 740: Transforming Evil
Fortunately, a new batch of Pill Masters will be recruited soon. By then, the variety and categories of Elixirs produced will be more diverse and abundant.
Dan State has already become the Chu Family’s territory and will soon be transformed by Chu Feng into a base for medicinal materials.
At that point, large quantities of high-quality, affordable medicinal materials will be continuously transported and sold throughout the Divine Martial Continent.
Longevity Hall is the preferred selling point, with the highest quality medicinal materials certainly given priority consideration to supply our own stores.
Some of the ordinary, surplus materials will then be considered for sale to other medicine shops.
In addition to medicinal materials and Elixirs, Chu Feng also plans to sell some more common Elixir recipes. Moreover, Pill Furnaces, auxiliary materials, and furnace fuel needed for Alchemy can also be purchased for resale.
Profiting from the margins, when added up, will amount to a significant income.
At the same time, this will attract other Pill Masters to come, making it easier for Longevity Hall to recruit Pill Masters in the future. The reputation will also grow.
Chu Feng entered the inner courtyard, where Disciple Chen Dazhong and others were concentrated on making Elixirs.
Because Longevity Hall’s business is extremely booming, and their manpower is limited, their responsibilities are correspondingly heavy.
They do not make Elixirs for Chu Feng for free.
Chu Feng has long instructed Li Shishi that all Pill Masters at Longevity Hall are paid based on performance. As for how much commission they get for making a batch of Elixirs? Naturally, there are rules in place.
It depends on the quantity and quality of Elixirs produced.
Overall, the compensation Chu Feng gives them far exceeds the treatment of Pill Masters at other Elixir Medicine Shops.
For the time being, Chu Feng did not disturb Chen Dazhong and others, but went alone to the backyard to plant the million-year-old ginseng in the soil.
To prevent it from running away, Chu Feng also prepared some measures.
In addition to planting it in a large clay pot, he also set up a fence around it. The ground nearby was scattered with broken ceramic pieces.
With these in place, the ginseng would not dare to escape.
Even if it managed to break through these restrictions, it would be difficult to escape from the courtyard.
With Chu Feng’s powerful Divine Sense, it would be easy to locate it.
Also, Chu Feng was planning to let the Yin Yang Ants make a home here, producing several broods of Crimson Fire Ants.
With the Crimson Fire Ants watching over it, the ginseng would be even less likely to flee.
After planting the million-year ginseng, Chu Feng went to the underground secret room, found an Earth fire node, and planted the Money Tree there.
With abundant Earth fire here, it was perfectly suitable for the growth of the Money Tree.
The Altar and other objects relied on to transform the feng shui layout were already built, just waiting for this Money Tree to be planted.
The moment the Money Tree was planted by Chu Feng, the Evil Qi in the entire Evil House seemed to be stirred by an invisible force. Streams of black-grey Evil Qi, Evil Energy, and malicious Qi that were invisible and odorless, began to rise continuously.
After floating up to the sky, they dissipated on their own.
All the accumulated Evil Qi, Evil Energy, and malicious aura lingering in the Evil House for hundreds of years were completely dispersed.
The whole house seemed to become exceptionally brighter. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Every person living inside the house, including the customers buying Elixirs at the storefront, all felt an inexplicable sense of relief and lightness in their bodies.
It was as if an invisible mountain pressing on them had vanished without a trace.
Their moods suddenly became extraordinarily buoyant, as if they had moved from a Dark Land into a space of Light.
Streams of auspicious red Qi that were imperceptible to the naked eye began to gradually gather above the rooftops of the house owned by Chu Feng.
The Money Tree lived up to its name, truly possessing the ability to attract wealth and gather Treasures.
The Beixie National Master, who was collecting money from the customers, couldn’t help but tremble violently, his shock severe as he looked up at the beams. Being somewhat knowledgeable about geomancy, he felt the dispersion of the Evil Qi within the Evil House, immediately understanding the situation.
"Could it be that the master has found the Money Tree?" Beixie National Master simply couldn’t believe that there truly existed a Money Tree in this world.
He was so eager to go to the back residence to see for himself and get a clear answer.
Unfortunately, customers were queuing in a long line, waiting for him to settle their bills one by one, and issue invoices.
He was utterly tied up at the moment and could only wait until the shop closed for the day before going to find Chu Feng for a clear explanation.
"Shopkeeper, let’s settle the account later! I just remembered, I need to buy two more elixirs!"
"The Qi Gathering Elixirs from Longevity Hall are so good, how could one be enough? I must buy a few more. It’s alright to spend less on a concubine, for cultivation is of utmost importance."
One by one, the customers, influenced by the auspicious aura of the Money Tree, became more generous with their money.
Some who were originally just watching and had no intention of buying elixirs also, as if injected with a stimulant, began buying their desired elixirs generously.
They would rather spend a bit less money elsewhere.
Unseen to the eye, the fortune of Longevity Hall began to skyrocket.
Li Shishi’s cherry lips parted in shock; she did not understand why the customers in the shop had suddenly undergone such a drastic change.
"The master really does possess vast divine skills and carries great fortune. Just upon his return, he has made these customers throw their money around lavishly. The business has also become even more bustling," Li Shishi credited all these changes to Chu Feng.
In fact, it was indeed so.
All the changes were related to Chu Feng.
After planting the Money Tree in the back residence, Chu Feng activated the mechanism to close the secret chamber’s door.
The Money Tree was an exotic treasure rarely seen in the world, a treasure money couldn’t buy.
Of course, he had to be more cautious to prevent it from being stolen.
Just as he was about to enter the Alchemy room and chat with Chen Dazhong and others, the Eighth Prince, who had more efficient news sources than anyone else, hurriedly came looking for him.
It wasn’t the Eighth Prince’s fault, for it was indeed too difficult to get a chance to see Chu Feng.
Chu Feng, this busy man, rarely returned to Vermilion Bird Imperial City once every year or two.
The Eighth Prince had people waiting at Longevity Hall every day, hoping against hope, finally managing to wait for Chu Feng’s return.
"Chu Feng pays his respects to the Eighth Prince!" Chu Feng had great respect for the Eighth Prince and did not take him lightly even after his own strength and status improved.
His demeanor remained as modest and polite as before.
"Dispense with the formalities, dispense with the formalities! You are the Chief Alchemist of Longevity Hall, and you have saved my life. How can you salute me when we meet? Wouldn’t that shorten my life?" The Eighth Prince was exceptionally cordial upon seeing Chu Feng.
If it wasn’t for Chu Feng’s timely discovery of the poison he had been afflicted with, he might have already been lying in a coffin under the soil.
Becoming nothing but bones.
"Does the Prince have matters to discuss with me? I heard from my servants that you have had people squatting here every day!"
Chu Feng asked with a smile.
The Eighth Prince had sent someone to keep a lookout here, waiting for Chu Feng’s return.
Inadvertently, it also turned out to be a show of support for Chu Feng. Those wishing to use official power to suppress Chu Feng all became shrinking turtles.
The Eighth Prince’s standing in Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country was extraordinary. Even the Vermilion Bird Emperor would have to call him ’Imperial Uncle’ upon meeting him.
Such a distinguished figure had specially assigned someone from Prince Manor to support Longevity Hall. Who would then dare to provoke Longevity Hall?
"Hehe, this prince didn’t want to do so either, but I had no choice! You, this busy person, haven’t returned for half a year, and it’s been extremely difficult for this prince to see you," the Eighth Prince said with a wry smile, hastily explaining to avoid upsetting Chu Feng.
