Chapter 478: Chapter 488: The Sorrow of the Weak
That day, Chu Feng was worried about the issue with dicinal ingredients. The Elixirs needed for a breakthrough to the Late Stage Great Sword Master level required the refinent of several types. For instance, the Elixir that consolidates sword light, the Elixir that can instantly surge Sword Qi, and the Elixir that aids in calm and focused ditation, among others.
One must cover all bases and be sufficiently prepared to make a successful breakthrough to the Late Stage Great Sword Master.
This is also a critical step.
Once a breakthrough to the Late Stage Great Sword Master realm is achieved, the distance to becoming a Sword Saint is not far.
With the Nine Yang Sword Veins and their full nine Sword Veins, the cultivation speed far surpasses others by a long stretch. Moreover, when the Nine Veins move together, the burst of power in an instant is equally astonishingly strong.
However, having strengths naturally cos with weaknesses.
Because of the excessive number of sword ridians, the difficulty of advancing at the ti of promotion is also far greater than that of ordinary people.
"Where am I supposed to get a large batch of dicinal herbs for refining Elixirs?" Chu Feng was sowhat troubled.
Poor in scholarship but rich in martial arts, cultivating the Sword Dao is in itself an activity that burns through Silver. The Silver that Chu Feng had earned was already nearly depleted.
After all, he had many subordinates to support, and he had also spent a considerable amount of Silver in rescuing his master.
Considering his own expenses, the Silver he needed was as vast as mountains and seas.
"I must find a way to make money!"
Chu Feng frowned and pondered deeply.
The Alchemy Venerate, running short of Silver, would he not beco the laughingstock if word got out?
"I need to see how Li Shishi and the others are getting on," thought Chu Feng as he formulated a money-making plan in his head. However, he would need several competent subordinates to help with the work.
When Chu Feng first joined the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage, he never thought he would be oppressed by Inner Sect Disciples like Jia Zhenjing.
As a result, the entire Dan State branch ended up working as dicine Farrs.
If he had known this would be the outco, it would have been better to advise Li Shishi and the others not to join the Sect. With their abilities, they could have been freer outside the Sect, and they would also have access to more Cultivation Resources.
After much thought, Chu Feng had a clear plan in mind.
He would have Li Shishi and the others leave the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage and make money for him outside. Later on, when Chu Feng held a high position within the Wan Jian Sect, he would summon them back inside.
This approach should align more with the current interests.
Li Shishi was at the dicine Mountain where Chu Feng was, but they were under the managent of different Managers.
Chu Feng’s current status was not high; he was rely a small leader, and it was not easy for him to enter the territory of another Manager.
He did not have high hopes; he just intended to take a look.
To his surprise, just as he reached the boundary between the two dicine Mountains, he saw an enchanting figure bending over and busily working in the dicine Field. She looked less like a peasant woman and more like a distressed young lady of a noble family.
She appeared even more delicate and charming, stirring up a protective fondness.
Chu Feng’s eyes ward affectionately as he watched her; having not seen her for many days, she had lost so of her haughtiness and gained a softer beauty.
"Hmm? Who is that person?"
Chu Feng’s gaze sharpened, and his expression turned rather unpleasant.
He saw a middle-aged man with hair neatly slicked and shining, his face full of cunningness. He was ogling Li Shishi, who was busily engaged in the dicine Field, with his puffy eyes.
This man was the spitting image of a bad seed, evidently harboring ill intentions.
It was as if he had the words ’bad guy’ etched across his face.
Li Shishi, with her face as cold as ice, was busily working and ignoring the middle-aged man. From the way she silently clenched her teeth, it was clear that she was deeply humiliated.
However, because of her low status, she had to tolerate and refrain from lashing out.
As he drew closer, Chu Feng could hear more clearly. It turned out that the person who had designs on Li Shishi was not only this puffy-eyed middle-aged man but also included the overall in-charge of her dicine Mountain, Manager Chen Cheng.
The middle-aged man squatting at the edge of her dicine Field, supervising her, was her imdiate superior.
And also the small leader of this dicine Field, nad Luo Sishui, obviously a man full of malicious intent.
"Li Shishi, with your beauty, if you agree to marry , I guarantee you won’t have to work from now on. How about it?"
"This is a very profitable deal."
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Li Shishi shouted, "Scram!"
She grabbed a handful of soil and threw it fiercely at him.
Luo Sishui dodged with a smirk, then teased, "You don’t want to be my concubine, I understand. It’s because I’m just a small leader. But Manager Chen Cheng has deep feelings for you, if you agree to be his concubine, I guarantee you’ll eat well and live comfortably..."
"Scram! Scram!"
Li Shishi, clearly enraged from enduring such dignity-stripping words for months, scolded hysterically.
"You ungrateful woman, don’t push your luck! My patience is limited."
"In a few days, it will be the harvest day for the dicinal Herbs. If you don’t agree, I’ll make sure you fail. Consider the consequences." Luo Sishui seed to lose his patience completely, his face darkened, and he approached Li Shishi directly.
"Still trying to run? Co here!" Luo Sishui imdiately beca furious with embarrassnt.
Li Shishi, frightened and pale, wasn’t very talented in Sword Dao and was no match for him. Screaming, she fled into the distance.
Unfortunately, her strength was limited, and she was about to be caught.
Moreover, so people around were watching covertly but not a single person was willing to co to her rescue.
Because Luo Sishui was the local small leader and he was acting upon Manager Chen Cheng’s directive. Who would dare to ddle?
Whether it’s Luo Sishui or Manager Chen Cheng, neither are good news.
