Chapter 308: Becoming Rich and Famous
"You guys go back and get ready first." Chen Yu dusted himself off and got up from the ground. "I'll be waiting for you in the alchemy room at Xuanyun Peak at 12:00 PM."
"What shameful things are you preparing?" Liu Ruyan asked with narrowed eyes.
Chen Yu took out a handful of candies from the bag and stuffed them into Liu Ruyan's hand: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just need to prepare the ingredients.
Try this first, it has a fiery and spicy taste, I guarantee you’ll like it.”
Just as Liu Ruyan was about to open the package, Lin Qingxue snatched the candy and threw it into Chen Yu's arms: "Don't try that! Who knows what else you put in the candy?"
"I value honesty above all else," Chen Yu said seriously as he put the candy into his bag. "I absolutely don't add anything to candy."
"Really?" Ye Wushuang crossed his arms, "Then what about the dual cultivation taste just now?"
"That..." Chen Yu scratched his head, "That's a proper dual cultivation formula. Look how effective it is."
At this moment, a fragrant breeze blew over, and a woman in a purple dress appeared in the air and landed in the courtyard.
She was holding a jade flute and smiling. She was none other than Su Ziyan, the senior sister of Danding Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I've long heard of your great name." Su Ziyan bowed gracefully. "I heard you developed a new type of elixir. May I take a look?"
Chen Yu's eyes lit up. Su Ziyan was the most beautiful woman in the Danding Sect, and her alchemy skills were superb.
I didn't expect her to come to me on her own initiative.
"You're welcome, Fairy Su." Chen Yu took out a bag of potato chips from his cloth bag. "This is my latest snack, added with some special Dan Qi."
Su Ziyan took the potato chips and sniffed them gently: "Is this... the effect of the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill?"
"Good eyesight." Chen Yu gave a thumbs up. "However, I improved the formula, removed the side effects of the elixir, and added some effects that improve cultivation."
"Interesting." Su Ziyan picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, "It tastes good and the medicinal effect is mild.
Daoyou Chen is indeed quite capable."
"Of course." Chen Yu said proudly, "I have many new recipes here, Fairy Su, do you want any..."
"Ahem." Lin Qingxue coughed twice coldly, "Chen Yu, didn't you say you wanted to prepare the materials?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Yu nodded quickly. "Fairy Su, I'm holding a seminar at Xuanyun Peak tonight. If you're interested..."
"Okay." Su Ziyan nodded in agreement, "I also want to ask Fellow Daoist Chen a few questions."
At this moment, another figure descended from the sky. Dressed in black, holding a long sword, with a stern expression, it was none other than Mo Han, the young master of the Demon Sword Sect.
"Chen Yu, I heard that you developed a snack that can improve cultivation?"
Mo Han asked straight to the point.
"Brother Mo, you've arrived just in time." Chen Yu took out another bag of potato chips from the cloth bag. "This is specially prepared for demon cultivators. Try some."
Mo Han took the potato chips and ate one, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "This medicine... is even stronger than our Demon Sword Sect's secret medicine!"
"Of course." Chen Yu patted his chest, "My recipe is unique."
"How many spirit stones?" Mo Han asked directly.
"Well..." Chen Yu touched his chin, "a bag of 100,000 spirit stones, maybe."
"What?" Several women exclaimed simultaneously. One hundred thousand spirit stones for a bag of potato chips—that's an outrageous price!
"Cheap." Mo Han took out a storage bag without hesitation, "Give me a hundred packs."
Chen Yu took the storage bag, weighed it, and smiled even more happily: "Brother Mo, you are so straightforward. I will give you ten more bags of special flavors."
"Fellow Daoist Chen, our Danding Sect would also like to place an order," Su Ziyan said. "Could you give us a discount?"
"Of course." Chen Yu rubbed his hands. "Buy a thousand bags and get a hundred free. How about that?"
"Deal." Su Ziyan nodded, "I'll have someone deliver the spirit stones tomorrow."
Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan were both stunned when they saw Chen Yu talking business with the two of them.
When did this guy become so good at business?
"Oh right." Chen Yu suddenly remembered something. "Would you two like to attend the seminar tonight?"
"Of course I'll participate," Mo Han said. "I'd also like to ask Brother Chen a few questions."
"I'm going too." Su Ziyan said, "We can exchange experiences in alchemy."
Chen Yu looked at the storage bag in his hand, then looked at the several beautiful women, and his heart was filled with joy.
This business not only made him earn spirit stones, but also gave him two beautiful women.
The system will pop up a prompt at the right time: A new possibility of Dan Qi fusion has been detected, do you want to start a new formula?
Chen Yu clicked confirm, and a string of new recipes immediately appeared on the panel: Immortal Demon Unity Pill, Nine Transformations Resurrection Pill, Heaven and Earth Cultivation Pill...
Chen Yu was about to study the new formula when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around and saw Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan staring at him coldly.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yu said with a wry smile, "I'm just doing legitimate business, right?"
"Serious business?" Liu Ruyan snorted coldly, "Just now you said these formulas were prepared for us, and now you're selling them to someone else?"
"Well..." Chen Yu scratched his head, "Business is business, and our seminar is our seminar.
Besides, what I gave them were just ordinary recipes, the real good stuff is still here."
He took out four small boxes from his cloth bag and handed them to the four women: "This is a new flavor I specially made. I guarantee you've never tasted it before."
"What are you up to now?" Lin Qingxue took the box, opened it and saw that there were crystal clear candies inside.
"This is called Immortal Demon Candy," Chen Yu explained. "It allows the cultivation techniques of the immortal and demon races to merge perfectly. The effect is ten times stronger than what we just saw."
"Is it true?" Ye Wushuang picked one up doubtfully.
"Of course it's true." Chen Yu said, "If you don't believe me, try it."
The four women exchanged glances and simultaneously devoured the candy. Suddenly, a strange energy surged through their bodies, and the techniques of the immortals and demons began to merge automatically.
"What kind of formula is this?" Su Ziyan asked in surprise. "Even our Danding Sect's secret recipe can't achieve this."
"Well..." Chen Yu smiled mysteriously, "This is a unique secret recipe that is not passed on to others."
"How many spirit stones?" Mo Han asked again.
"Not for sale." Chen Yu waved his hand. "This is specially made for them. Outsiders can't use it."
Before Mo Han could say anything, Chen Yu turned around and said to the four women, "How is it?
Now you understand my sincerity, right?"
Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan's expressions finally brightened. Su Ziyan looked at Chen Yu thoughtfully, a strange glint in her eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I wonder what the discussion will be about in tonight's seminar?"
Su Ziyan asked.
"Well..." Chen Yu blinked, "It's mainly about studying the fusion of Dan Qi with different attributes.
For example, your Dan Dao Qi and Brother Mo's Demon Sword Qi might collide and create some sparks."
"Interesting." Mo Han nodded. "I want to see how far these fantastic ideas of yours can go."
"Then it's settled." Chen Yu clapped his hands, "See you at Xuanyun Peak at 12:00 p.m."
After Mo Han and Su Ziyan left, Liu Ruyan leaned close to Chen Yu's ear and said, "You don't want to..."
"What are you thinking?" Chen Yu pretended to be stupid, "I am a serious person."
"A serious person?" Lin Qingxue sneered, "Who was cheating just now?"
"That's called business acumen," Chen Yu said confidently. "Besides, what I sell are all genuine ingredients. I don't cheat anyone."
"That night..." Ye Wushuang asked.
"We'll have a serious discussion tonight," Chen Yu said, "but..."
"But what?" Luo Tianyi asked.
"It might be a little irritating, though." Chen Yu chuckled, "It's a new formula after all, so the effect might be stronger."
"You..." Lin Qingxue was about to say something, but Chen Yu had already run away.
"This guy." Liu Ruyan shook her head. "I knew he had bad intentions."
"How about we..." Lin Qingxue looked at Liu Ruyan.
"Okay." Liu Ruyan smiled knowingly, "I'll show him some color tonight."
Ye Wushuang and Luo Tianyi also laughed. The four women looked at each other and saw the cunning in each other's eyes.
Chen Yu ran to Xuanyun Peak's alchemy room and began to set it up. He took out various snacks and pills from his cloth bag and arranged them in a specific order.
The system pops up a prompt at the right time: The new formula unlocking progress is 90%, do you want to open the ultimate formula immediately?
"Wait a minute." Chen Yu looked at the storage bag in his hand, "There are plenty of opportunities tonight."
He opened the storage bag and counted the spirit stones inside, the smile on his face growing brighter and brighter.
He earned more than 10 million spirit stones in one go, which was more than what he had earned from his hard work in refining pills before.
"Looks like I need to research a few more new recipes," Chen Yu muttered to himself. "I wonder how many spirit stones I can sell if I improve the recipes for hot pot base and spicy hot pot?"
Thinking of this, he took out a bunch of modern seasonings from his cloth bag and began to study them.
Soon, an enticing aroma wafted out from the alchemy room, attracting the monks passing by to stop.
"What kind of elixir smells like this?"
"It smells so good, it makes me feel relaxed and happy."
"I heard that Chen Yu is researching a new formula."
"Chen Yu? Is that the Chen Yu who sells expensive snacks?"
"Yes, yes, that's him. I heard that even the Demon Sword Sect and the Alchemy Ding Sect have placed orders with him."
As the discussion reached the alchemy room, Chen Yu's smile widened. With this, his reputation was truly established.
