I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Chu Shen took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Yu Sidao.

Yu Sidao took it with half belief and half doubt, then opened the lid and gently fanned a bit of the pill's aura to taste it. His eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Such a good pill!"

He decisively closed the lid to prevent the pill's aura from leaking, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Just this pill's aura alone can make my spiritual power surge. It must be a highly effective elixir with a high proportion of medicinal properties. I didn't expect Young Master Chu to have such skill. I admire you, Sidao!"

Chu Shen smiled and said, "Can this pill be used as a reward?"

Yu Sidao respectfully bowed, "I couldn't ask for more!"

Alchemy masters, as technical talents, are still highly sought after in the cultivation world, and their status is much higher than that of ordinary cultivators.

At least Yu Sidao, as a low-level intermediary, did not have the capital to look down upon them. Instead, he wanted to curry favor with them as much as possible.

Why did his cultivation path be so difficult? Why did he want to make progress but had no way to go?

One reason was talent, and the other was the lack of sufficient resources.

Those second-generation cultivators with family background and abundant resources, even if their aptitude was not much better than his, could still rely on consuming elixirs to advance their cultivation.

But what about him?

Even if you spend money to buy elixirs, you can only buy those of lower quality on the market. The ones of better quality have long been reserved by resource-based cultivators who have good relationships with alchemists, even including sects. These independent cultivators can't even drink a sip of soup without drinking the leftovers of others.

The word "miserable" is not enough to describe it.

Now there is a chance to have close contact with an alchemist, and moreover, an alchemist who can refine such high-quality elixirs. In an instant, Yu Sidao's thoughts changed.

Working for Young Master Chu is no longer just for the meager reward, but an honor!

Chu Shen was also a little surprised by Yu Sidao's change in attitude, and he glimpsed the cruelty of the cultivation world. He said, focusing on the matter at hand, "I'm not very clear about the prices of elixirs in the cultivation world, but based on my understanding of alchemy materials and techniques, I think a bottle of ten Qi Nourishing Pills should still have considerable purchasing power. Am I right?"

Of course, Yu Sidao had his own thoughts, but at this time, he put away all his distractions.

If he could work for Chu Shen, then there must be others who could work for Chu Shen. It would be foolish to ruin one's reputation and lose long-term benefits for the sake of earning a small profit in front of one's eyes.

"Young Master Chu, please understand that the elixirs sold on the market often contain impurities, and the efficacy rate is around 70%, which is already considered a high-quality product. One low-grade spirit stone can buy one pill. Sixty percent efficacy is considered a good product, and one low-grade spirit stone can buy five pills at the regular price. The ratio of impurities to effective components is usually fifty-fifty, and one low-grade spirit stone can buy ten pills. As for this bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills, just by smelling it, I can tell that its efficacy rate is at least 90% or higher, making it an excellent product. Although it is of a lower grade and only suitable for Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages as auxiliary elixirs, having one at a critical moment could be a life-saving item. Therefore, in terms of price, it cannot be compared to ordinary Qi Refining pills. A fivefold premium over high-quality pills would be a more appropriate price."

This is because Qi Refining pills are of a lower grade and have cheaper refining materials, so their prices cannot be too high. The premium is mainly due to the alchemist's technique and the crucial role it plays in critical moments.

Qi Refining pills with such quality are not something that ordinary cultivators can simply use for cultivation. They are usually kept for use in dangerous situations, such as battles, to quickly replenish spiritual power.

Sometimes, even just having a slightly faster recovery speed of spiritual power than one's opponent can determine life and death.

This is what makes the premium of this low-level pill far surpass similar ones. Five low-grade spirit stones for one pill is already close to the limit.

Chu Shen is not an unreasonable person. Upon hearing this, he feels it is fair and nods, saying, "Then let's price it accordingly. If Fellow Yu can help me succeed this time, I won't be stingy with how many Qi Refining pills I will give."

Yu Si Dao is overjoyed. This high-quality Qi Refining pill is more favored by him, a wandering cultivator, than low-grade spirit stones. He immediately bows respectfully and says, "I will not disappoint Young Master Chu's trust!"

He leaves with a bit of excitement.

Chu Shen is also very happy.

He didn't expect alchemy to be so profitable in the cultivation world.

Indeed, with skills, one can make a living anywhere.

However, he never thought of becoming a pill merchant. With that time, even if he's too lazy to cultivate, wouldn't it be better to spend more time with his concubines and achieve something else?

Besides, now all his mortal concubines are pregnant. Ning Xiangyue, who got pregnant first, is already unable to carry her belly. How can he have the leisure to refine pills?

It's better to go back to the backyard and take good care of the pregnant women carrying his children!

...

Just as Chu Shen is enjoying his happiness, someone sees Yu Si Dao leaving Hengyuan and reports back to the sect master of the Tai Ping Sect, who had assigned the surveillance task.

The leader of the Taiping Sect is named Cheng Man, a Foundation Building stage cultivator, hailing from the "Taiping Path".

The "Taiping Path" was actually established not too long ago. Compared to those sects that have been passed down for thousands of years, it has a history of only about three hundred years. It is a newly emerging sect established by the unexpected inheritor of a certain lineage by the Taiping Sect's leader. Even to this day, the founder has not stepped down.

However, it has developed rapidly and now has branches spread throughout the forty-eight prefectures of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.

The Taiping Sect in Nanping City is a branch of the "Taiping Path" established by Cheng Man several decades ago. It is claimed to be a place where he returned to his hometown and established a sect due to his lack of progress and skill in his studies.

What no one knows is that although his cultivation level is not high, he is actually one of the direct disciples of the Taiping Sect's leader. He came to a remote corner like Nanping City with a hidden identity, and actually has a secret mission.

Now, one of his missions is to find a way to obtain financial support from Chu Shen, the God of Wealth.

It must be said that the changes brought by Chu Shen to Nanping City have shocked many people. A prescription for a beauty treatment has not only transformed the appearance of a county but also changed the lives of many people.

After the cosmetic industry in Nanping City underwent industrial upgrading, it has spread throughout the entire Qizhou Prefecture. Just last month, the Nanping City government announced that tax revenue has increased more than thirty times compared to the same period last year.

The income of residents, merchants, and other related personnel in Nanping City has also skyrocketed, driving the prosperity and development of the entire city.

At this time, there are no longer crowds of refugees and beggars on the streets, as they have been absorbed into various fields, workshops, and shops that are in urgent need of manpower.

While many places in Qizhou Prefecture are still suffering from natural disasters and man-made calamities, Nanping City is thriving and bustling. This stark contrast has naturally made Chu Shen's reputation as the "God of Wealth" even more prominent, catching the attention of some people.

"Invite this Fellow Daoist Yu Sidao to have a conversation, but remember to be respectful."

After pondering for a while, Cheng Man made up his mind.
