Chapter 94: The Dan Medicine That Wants Money (Part 5)

  "Discounting the negligible costs, tonight's total revenue is one thousand six hundred thirty-seven taels!!" said Lord Zero Blue.

  "Isn't that right? Have you miscalculated?" Several girls showed a surprised expression, they did not expect to make over 1,600 taels of silver tonight.

  And then something happened that left them speechless, someone seemed unhappy with this result.

  "Really? Didn't you miscalculate? It's just this little?" Xīao frowned and said, "I should have set the price a bit higher. Anyway, with you guys here, it shouldn't be a problem. Besides, my elixir is of very good quality, what a loss!!"

  “……”

  This kid is really a bit too much, earning so much in one night, even the wealthy families don't earn as much as you, and yet you still think it's not enough!!

  "Xiao Jiading, you should be content with what you have! It's just one night and you've earned over 1,600 taels of silver. Some people can't even earn that much in a lifetime!!" Nangong Suxin tapped Xiangyao's head, saying somewhat irritably.

  "Yes, yes, don't be discontented..." Zhang Caiyi echoed, her face now full of envy, thinking that if she had this money it would be great.

  "The Carefree Prince..."

  In the midst of everyone's ridicule, Xiao Yao spoke up again: "You may have gotten it wrong, this isn't something that can be done in just one night! Tonight is just about selling the finished product! This finished product requires me to collect materials and refine the elixir, which takes a lot more time than just one night!!! And besides, there's also a cost involved!!!"

  "...Several girls were stunned, they had never done business before, so for a moment they didn't think about these issues, perhaps also because the number of this carefree was a bit stunning, making them forget to consider these common sense problems."

  "This is also true..." Nangong Suzhen nodded, "You still need to spend money buying medicinal materials and spend time refining them. However, even so, you've made a lot of profit!!"

  That's right, this 1,600 taels of water is a lot. But Xīao Yáo absolutely made money, according to the cost of the medicinal materials for the Jīng Yuán Dān, one Jīng Yuán Dān does not need five taels of silver in terms of medicinal material costs, and this is still calculated based on a relatively ordinary level of alchemy.

  At this time, no one knew about Xīao Yóu's level of alchemy, but it was certain that Xīao Yóu would not be too bad. A single Jīng Yuán Dān, even if it were a low-grade one, he could at least double his earnings.

  And if they knew the success rate of Xy's Dan creation, they would definitely scold Xy for being shameless, making so much money and saying it was just a little, and saying it was worth it. They would definitely slap Xy to death with one palm.

  However, they didn't know that another thing was that not all of the elixirs were sold, many were eaten by themselves to sustain Lone Star. Some were also given to Big Sister.

  But the two young ladies and Gu Xing didn't know that Xiao Yao had chosen only the best for them, no wonder their strength progressed much faster than others!

  Generally speaking, even the largest families can only guarantee the supply of dan medicine, but they will not guarantee that they can provide high-quality dan medicine. This is not because they cannot afford it, but because high-quality dan medicine is in short supply.

  Those who can always have top-grade elixirs are definitely the focus of super aristocratic families, and such people are very rare. Even so, what they can guarantee is only primary and intermediate elixirs. High-level elixirs or above, that's something that cannot be guaranteed.

  There are not many people who can refine high-grade elixirs, and the number that can be refined is limited. In addition, the success rate and quality of high-grade elixirs are generally very low, so it's already good if you can get a lower-grade one. Middle-grade ones require a burst of talent, while top-grade ones are rare treasures.

  But Gu Xing was far better than these people, her high-grade elixirs were prepared by someone, and they were all the best top-grade products, even this quality was a little better than the usual top-grade products.

  For this, a lot of money needs to be spent on buying high-grade elixir materials. Generally, the materials for high-grade elixirs will have at least one or two expensive items, and special ones are even more so. The cost alone is not something that ordinary people can afford, let alone after it's refined into an elixir.

  If it weren't for the last time Tianfeng Country provided an opportunity, Xiao Yao estimates that he still hasn't gathered all the materials for high-grade elixirs and is still hoarding intermediate ones. After all, at this point, Guxing doesn't need high-grade ones yet.

  Now that the intermediate elixirs have been stockpiled, it's time to move on to advanced ones. Sell off the unnecessary mid-to-low-grade intermediate elixirs and purchase materials needed for refining high-grade elixirs.

  Low-grade elixir? That carefree person had already gotten rid of it back in Qingyun City, which means that at the time, Gu Xing no longer needed low-grade elixirs. Her level had already reached the point where she could use mid-grade elixirs.

  And now, the lone star is about to break free from mid-grade elixirs and enter the realm of high-grade elixirs. Her progress in recent days has been quite rapid, possibly due to the abundant supply of elixirs that allows her to achieve the best results.

  Xiaoyao wasn't afraid that her mental state couldn't keep up with her strength, because the previous Lone Star's cultivation in terms of mental state was much faster than his strength. Even with the saturated supply of elixirs, her mental state could still easily control her own strength, which far exceeded her strength.

  Xiaoyao had long been letting Gu Xing focus on cultivating his mental state, perhaps he had already thought of this outcome. Naturally, at the beginning, there was also the reason that the elixirs and other supplies were not available.

  Mental cultivation is also one of the most important cultivations for a martial artist. If you only improve your strength without improving your mental state, then when the time comes, you will not be able to control your own strength, and your strength will be greatly discounted, or even possibly go astray.

  But sometimes the state of mind is also a kind of hindrance for those who rely on dan medicine to increase their strength, making them unable to eat dan medicine as food. Otherwise, people with capital would really do so.

  There's another thing, the high-grade elixirs made by Xiao Yao aren't the best after all. He can't afford those materials now, and only super families and imperial powers can collect them.

  Xiaoyao is now making a high-grade elixir that has the highest cost-effectiveness, and he also adds some of his own improvements to it. Although its efficacy is not as good as the best one, it's still what everyone wants. After all, there aren't many people who can make that top-notch high-grade elixir, and those who have it are few in number.

  But if a lone star can continue to eat this high-grade elixir, it will make everyone jealous, even those with top-grade elixirs.

  Because they can't guarantee that they can always eat such high-grade and high-quality elixirs, the effect won't be weaker than eating those top-grade elixirs occasionally, it can even be said to be a bit better.

  It's a good explanation that with quantitative changes leading to qualitative changes. If we don't have the top-notch, then use a pile of high-end ones to accumulate!!

  "It's not much of a profit, but at least it can break even..." Xiangyao muttered to himself.

  Although Xiangyao is still short of money and materials, it's also because of Gu Xing and his consumption, as well as a small foodie. The three people (yaoshou) use a lot of dan medicine, but if you subtract their consumption, they can still break even, just like Xiangyao said.

  They can still achieve a balance between income and expenses after deducting their own consumption, which means they have already earned enough to cover their expenses, and more!

  But this is still not enough, Xy needs more funds and more materials!

  "We need to increase our income later, we can't just rely on this little profit...” Xiao Yao looked at the over 1,600 taels in his hand, frowning as he thought of a solution.

  In the past, I could still make some money by relying on Mo Jia's affairs. Now that I've left Mo Jia, opportunities like Tian Feng Wang Gong are unlikely to come again. The New Moon Empire won't spend money for someone else's talent; this is making a dress for others.

  So, he wants to find a way to make money in the future, but what he is thinking about is not how to make money, because he has many ways to do so, as he can do a little bit of everything. What he needs to think about now is which industry makes the most money.

  The most profitable businesses in the world are often those that require no capital, cheating, deceiving, robbing and blackmailing!!

  For these, Xiang thought about it, but the risk was a bit greater. Of course, if necessary, he would still do it, and he would be the most particular about technique thief.

  Stealing is also the most cost-effective among these, it doesn't require a lot of time and effort, but gets the richest reward, and the risk of being exposed is also the lowest, because only stealing can be done without showing one's face at all.

  Xiaoyao has never studied thievery, but he can pick locks, open mechanisms, hide, disguise himself, gather information and other skills required for thievery. He excels in all of them, and if he were to become a thief, he would surely be a legendary one.

  It's just as Xiaoyao said, it's only necessary in certain situations, and generally speaking, he doesn't need to do this thing, after all, he has many skills that can make money, including several very profitable ones.

  The simplest one is medical treatment, which has been one of the most profitable industries in any era and world, because not many people will joke about their own lives and use everything to buy their own lives.

  Xiaoyao's current medical skills are still somewhat lacking, not comparable to those of the super divine doctors, but enough for him to make a living. And he believes that as long as he continues to study medicine, the distance between him and those super divine doctors will also shorten, until it becomes negative...

  Among the books I am reading now, there are also medical skills. The more you read, the more skilled your medical skills will be. Books are the experience of predecessors and the accumulation of knowledge, which can improve any skill and experiential knowledge, and naturally can also improve skills. As long as you carefully verify and practice, it can lead you to the pinnacle.

  It's very important to be careful and put things into practice, otherwise it's just empty talk. Such a low-level mistake is not something that could be made by someone with his current level of ability.

  That's why, in order to improve, Xīao Yáo didn't go out to earn money by selling medicine for more than a dozen days afterwards. He wanted to finish reading the Book Fragrance Pagoda, and if possible, take a look at the books stored in the New Moon Empire Imperial Palace, but this opportunity was very slim, and it wasn't realized this time.
