Capítulo 6: Chapter 6: Guest Elder at Duobao Pavilion, Astonishing News About the Alchemist_1

The launch of the Boiling Blood Elixir indeed made Five Blessings Hall highly renowned.

At first, everyone was somewhat skeptical about the effects of the Boiling Blood Elixir.

But Wang Fu had somehow managed to sell one, and it just so happened that the Martial Artist who bought it used it to kill a stronger opponent of Bone Tempering Fifth Level with his own Fourth Level skills. After that, the Boiling Blood Elixir was in high demand.

Even though Ye Fan had prepared by making a dozen or so Boiling Blood Elixirs in reserve, they were still all snapped up.

Martial Artists were afraid too—others had it, but if I didn't,

and conflicts arose, if the other person took a Boiling Blood Elixir and I didn't, wouldn't it be me who dies?

Many Martial Artists kept one on hand, whether they would use it or not was another question.

In just half a month, Ye Fan had already accumulated a hundred silver pieces.

And looking at the current trend, it seemed it could become a long-term business.

It was time to prepare the Bone Tempering Powder for the two boys.

Also, it was time to buy a courtyard.

It would be best to buy in a bustling location; the current rented place was barely adequate, not good.

A house would cost about a hundred silver pieces.

Plus the cost of the medicinal pills, money was still tight.

Keep pushing!

...

While Ye Fan was planning how to spend the money, several groups had already set their sights on Wang Fu.

The business of the Boiling Blood Elixir was very lucrative, as many could see.

A lucrative business attracted everyone's envy.

However, everyone was holding off for the time being, waiting for someone to make the first move.

Five days later, a group entered Five Blessings Hall.

The identity of this group was unexpected to everyone—it turned out to be from Duobao Pavilion.

Although Duobao Pavilion merely sold things, it held unmatched status in Changhe Town.

As the Changhe branch of Duobao Pavilion was only a minor subsidiary of its headquarters.

Not only in the town, even in the county, it was a branch.

Rumors had it that Duobao Pavilion's headquarters were among the top forces in all of Dayu, truly a colossal entity.

"Doctor Wang, we've come to meet the Pharmacist who concocted the Boiling Blood Elixir, if it's not too inconvenient."

"Convenient, certainly convenient."

Wang Fu, without any hesitation, readily agreed to bring forth Ye Fan.

Duobao Pavilion was not something Wang Fu could afford to offend.

Soon, Wang Fu personally went to Ye Fan's home to find him.

Watching Wang Fu's departing figure, Duobao Pavilion's Shopkeeper narrowed his eyes.

As Duobao Pavilion could sell body tempering powders, they obviously had their pharmacists.

Five Blessings Hall's Boiling Blood Elixirs had been bought by Duobao Pavilion for research.

Only after research did Duobao Pavilion realize the preciousness of the Boiling Blood Elixir.

It wasn't that the ingredients of the Boiling Blood Elixir were extremely precious, but rather the person who concocted them was the precious talent.

The Body Tempering Powders that seemed exceptionally valuable to the Martial Artists in Changhe Town were seen as mere semi-products by the Shopkeeper.

The truly valuable item was the Body Tempering Elixir.

The Body Tempering Elixir was a genuine elixir.

Only an Alchemist could concoct such an item.

And from the technique used in the Boiling Blood Elixir, Shopkeeper Li Qian saw that the creator's skills were very close to that of an Alchemist.

An Alchemist, even in Duobao Pavilion, was valuable enough to become a Guest Elder at a branch, a status even more precious than his own as branch shopkeeper.

Duobao Pavilion came to Five Blessings Hall, not for the recipe of the Boiling Blood Elixir, but for Ye Fan who had concocted it.

When Ye Fan learned that Duobao Pavilion had come calling, he took a deep breath.

What was expected had come, now, it was time to see what the outcome would be.

...

"Shopkeeper Li, this is our pharmacist at Five Blessings Hall, Ye Fan," Wang Fu said obsequiously as he introduced them.

"Pharmacist Ye, hello, I am the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion's Changhe branch."

Li Qian showed no disrespect, his face full of enthusiasm.

"Shopkeeper Li is too kind, may I know what business Shopkeeper Li has with me?" Ye Fan asked politely with a clasped hand gesture.

A gleam flashed in Li Qian's eyes, "Pharmacist Ye, I want to ask, did you concoct this Boiling Blood Elixir?"

When Li Qian asked this, Ye Fan knew that an informed person had arrived.

Since he had chosen to craft the Boiling Blood Elixir, Ye Fan already had a strategy in place.

Having someone perceptive was actually a good thing.

"Indeed, it is I," said Ye Fan.

Li Qian's eyes sparkled even more, "I wonder if Ye Pharmacist could demonstrate it once."

"Hmm!"

Ye Fan nodded, not refusing.

This must be the final assessment.

Quickly, Ye Fan crafted a Boiling Blood Elixir in front of Li Qian.

"Good, Ye Pharmacist is truly a genius," Li Qian applauded enthusiastically, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked at Ye Fan.

"I wonder if Ye Pharmacist would be interested in becoming a Guest Elder of our Duobao Pavilion branch."

Guest Elder?

Ye Fan frowned slightly, "I wonder, what are the responsibilities of a Guest Elder?"

Li Qian shook his head, "Becoming a Guest Elder of Duobao Pavilion merely signifies a partnership with us. Not only would you enjoy a twenty percent discount on purchasing materials and the like from us, but we would also offer a high price for any medicines you craft."

Even Ye Fan had to admit that Duobao Pavilion's reach was vast.

Since it was a good offer, Ye Fan no longer refused.

Moreover, Ye Fan didn't have the confidence to refuse.

Upon hearing Ye Fan's acceptance, Li Qian's smile was radiant.

The current Ye Fan wasn't necessarily worth such a vigorous recruitment by Li Qian.

Li Qian was gambling on Ye Fan's future.

A man who was not yet forty and was about to become an Alchemist.

After chatting a bit more with Li Qian, Ye Fan first escorted Li Qian out.

Before leaving, Li Qian handed Ye Fan a small booklet for him to read later on.

After seeing off Li Qian, Ye Fan turned to look at Wang Fu.

Wang Fu was nervous; he had not expected Ye Fan to suddenly become a Guest Elder of the Duobao Pavilion.

Such a status was not something he, a humble Doctor, could afford to offend.

"Ye Pharmacist, uh..."

Wang Fu wanted to say something else, but Ye Fan waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

From Li Qian's mouth, Ye Fan knew Wang Fu had betrayed him without a moment's hesitation.

Had there been any hesitation, Ye Fan might not have blamed Wang Fu, as Duobao Pavilion was indeed formidable.

However, since Wang Fu had gone through with it, Ye Fan would no longer stay at Five Blessings Hall.

"Doctor Wang, I have been under your care for over half a year. Now, we part ways."

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Wang Fu instantly felt miserable.

Without the powders provided by Ye Fan, the business of Five Blessings Hall would definitely decline significantly.

"Doctor Ye, this is my fault. I have no words if you decide to leave, but I wonder if you could still sell the powders in the future? I am willing to buy them at a high price."

Continue to sell? Ye Fan hadn't thought about this matter for the moment.

But instead of continuing to sell powders for little profit each month,

why not sell the recipes to Wang Fu for a large sum of money!

It was very likely that Ye Fan would no longer sell these two kinds of powders in the future; the profit was too low.

"I wonder if Doctor Wang is interested in the recipes for the Hemostatic Powder and the detoxifying powder?"

"What, you want to sell the recipes to me?"

Wang Fu suddenly felt as if a huge pie had fallen on his head.

"I am willing. I wonder, what price does Ye Pharmacist intend to ask for?"

"One thousand silver!" Ye Fan raised a finger.

"What, one thousand silver?" Wang Fu nearly jumped up.

The annual profit of Five Blessings Hall wasn't even a thousand silver.

"Do you want it, or not? If not, I'll just sell it myself," Ye Fan stared at Wang Fu, a smile appearing on his face.

If you don't buy, I'll just sell it myself and then take over your business!

Wang Fu knew that this was Ye Fan's dissatisfaction with his actions.

Part of it was the money for the recipes, and the other part was compensation for Ye Fan.

"I'll buy!"

Finally, Wang Fu gritted his teeth and made a decision.

PS: I can't release more chapters early, but they will explode once it's published. Please favor and recommend!


Capítulo 7: Chapter 7 Long-term Task: Family Territory_1

With the thousand taels of silver he extorted from Wang Fu, Ye Fan returned home in high spirits.

With this money, the possibilities of what he could undertake multiplied.

Purchasing a mansion, refineries for bone tempering powder, and prepping healing baths to increase the cultivation speed of the children.

Ah, with money, problems vanish, what a relief!

After handing over the banknotes to Su Yan for safekeeping, Ye Fan opened the booklet given by Li Qian.

With an air of mystery about it, could there be something exciting within?

As he flipped open the booklet, four significant characters came into view.

"Simplified Explanation of Elixir Refinement"

???

A series of question marks popped up, causing Ye Fan to sit up abruptly.

Refining elixirs, if his memory served him right, wasn't that a technique used by cultivators?

Ye Fan didn't put it off, pulling out the booklet and immediately began perusing it.

The book was not lengthy, merely a dozen or so pages, so he was able to quickly read it to the end.

After reading it, Ye Fan sighed.

Indeed, this world was full of intelligent individuals.

Refining described in the book was not the elixirs refining technique used in the Immortal Realm.

But rather, it pertained to a special method involving a unique pill furnace and True Qi in the creation of elixirs.

While it wasn't the true form of Alchemy, the effects of the elixirs were significantly stronger in comparison to powders.

Furthermore, the difficulty of Alchemy was enormous, making it challenging to train a competent alchemist.

At this point, Ye Fan finally understood why Li Qian treated him with such politeness.

Li Qian had recognized his talent, believing that he could be one of the rare alchemists.

Inside the booklet, there was a recipe for Hundred Ginseng elixir and instructions for a technique called Thousand Dispersing Hands.

With Alchemy Dao at the first level, these contents posed no difficulty for Ye Fan.

The only thing Ye Fan was lacking now was a pill furnace and True Qi.

It seemed that to become a true alchemist, one's cultivation level had to reach the Postnatal Realm at least.

Unexpectedly, Ye Fan found himself a new goal - to become an alchemist first.

Social status was also crucial for a family.

While Ye Fan was learning Alchemy Dao, the world outside was in turmoil.

When the small clans learned that Ye Fan became a Guest Elder of the Duobao Pavilion, they retracted their previous plans.

The Duobao Pavilion held a unique position in Changhe Town, an entity they could not afford to offend.

At least openly, they dared not make any small moves.

The title of Duobao Pavilion's Guest Elder put the Ye family officially into the sight of other families in Changhe Town.

With money on hand, the initial plan was to buy a better courtyard house. But since a suitable property couldn't be found, the thought had to be temporarily abandoned.

Eventually, Ye Fan bought a shop on the street intending to open a drugstore for easy sale of the Boiling Blood elixir.

A single Boiling Blood elixir wouldn't suffice, Ye Fan planned to source a few other suitable powders, manufacture them, and sell these as well.

The shop was named Ye's Pharmacy by Ye Fan.

After a series of selections, Ye Fan chose two additional prescription formulas.

Golden Wound Powder, it accelerated wound healing.

Five Complete Power, with long-term consumption could nourish the body, extending life.

The last was the primary product chosen by Ye Fan, Ye's Medicine Soup.

Ye's Medicine Soup was a medicinal bath recipe, it could slightly enhance the speed of skin training in the early stage of body forging.

While it couldn't compare to body tempering powder, it had the advantage of being inexpensive. A tael of silver could buy two prescriptions, which would last for seven days.

The prescription used by Ye Jintian and Ye Jinhai was the same, but the efficacy was much better, something akin to an enhanced version.

For those who couldn't afford body tempering powder, this could serve as a substitute, mainly targeting the lower-end market.

The final product was the Boiling Blood elixir.

The day Ye's Pharmacy opened, many local families in the town sent their congratulations.

Even the Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall sent some gifts with the instructors of Ye Jintian and Ye Jinhai.

Everything was moving in a bright direction.

Under the effect of the medicinal bath and bone tempering powder, the roadblocks for Ye Jintian and Ye Jinhai were gradually loosening.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Su Yan's belly had grown larger, and whenever Ye Fan had free time, he spent it with Su Yan.

In another month or so, the child should be born.

Over the span of three months, Ye Jintian and Ye Jinhai finally broke through to the fourth stage of body forging, and Ye Fan's cultivation level reached the sixth stage of body forging.

Just a step away from the later stage of body forging.

Ye Fan was now in a firm state of mind. The growth of a family and of strength wasn't accomplished overnight.

Ye Jintian and Ye Jinhai's cultivation levels were ultimately hindered by their qualification. If their qualifications didn't improve, making rapid progress would be challenging.

Although they managed to break through to the fourth stage of body forging in August, reaching the peak of mid-stage body forging would take at least two years.

This was with the dual boost of Ye Fan's bone tempering powder and medicinal bath. Otherwise, it would take even longer.

The most important thing right now, Ye Fan felt, was to buy a house.

Su Yan was about to give birth, and Ye Fan had hired two more maids to take care of her.

Three maids, plus the four members of the Ye family, soon to be five, were too many for a four-room yard. They clearly needed more space.

During this period, Ye Fan kept an eye out for the sale of larger courtyards, and finally received word today.

A three-section courtyard consisting of ten rooms was for sale at the price of three hundred taels of silver.

In a place like Changhe Town, this must have been a pretty good courtyard.

Ye Fan didn't hesitate too much and decided to buy it.

When he paid the money and received the deed to the property, a long-missed system prompt sounded in Ye Fan's mind.

"Congratulations Host. You have successfully acquired family territory. You can now claim the reward for the first stage of the long-term task of establishing a family territory: Ordinary Clan Estate (already completed)."

Seeing this system task, Ye Fan didn't feel happy but rather frustrated.

The previous courtyard had been rented. If he had known there was a system task reward for it, he would have bought a house much sooner instead of waiting until now.

This round, he'd taken a significant loss.

"Ah, System, claim the reward."

"Congratulations Host. You've received the family entry reward: Quality Improvement, cultivation aptitude increases by 50 (green)."

Seeing the reward, the qualification promotion reward that Ye Fan had been longing for finally arrived.

"Use entry."

"The Mediocre Qualifications entry has been unloaded. Quality Improvement aptitude entry has been loaded."

Only then did Ye Fan learn that only one entry of the same type could be loaded.

"System, is the unloaded entry now useless?"

"Host, the unloaded entry can be used to create a new entry when there are surplus entries in the future."

Saying this was the same as saying nothing. How could Ye Fan have surplus entries now? He could only wait for the future.

...

Inside the Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall, Ye Jintian and Ye Jinhai, who were engaged in cultivation, felt a continuous heat wave emanating from their muscles.

Their cultivation speed suddenly rocketed.

With the boost of the entry, their aptitude shot up by five times.

Such aptitude was already considered top-tier in Changhe Town.

There should be no roadblock to breaking through to the last stage of body forging, and reaching the peak of body forging was within their grasp.

Even reaching the Postnatal Realm was not a hopeless goal.

The future of the Ye family had once again brightened enormously.

Earning money, cultivating, the Ye family was moving in a better direction.

Although they hadn't soared into the sky like in those novels, Ye Fan was already very satisfied with their current speed.
