Ding!
[Cultivation: Middle phase of Ethereal Cultivation; Lifespan: 2,570; Health: 244,000; Combat power: 224,000]
Tonight, Chen Xiaobei had spent a good ten hours cultivating nonstop, increasing his health and combat power by 1,000.
It was not a lot per se, but at the very least, it was improving every day.
Chen Xiaobei looked around and saw that Su Xiaoman was not in the cavern, so he packed up and left.
Just as he walked out of the cave, Su Xiaoman ca running to him. “Childe Zhufeng! You’re awake, finally! I’ve been walking around for nearly half a day!”
“So? Did you find anything interesting?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“I did! There sure are a lot of big shots this morning!” Su Xiaoman nodded and then pointed at a man up ahead. “Look at that fatty wearing expensive clothes! That’s a wealthy businessman from the Black Tortoise imperial city – Zhu Youfu! His net worth is over dozens of billions! He’s literally rolling in money!”
“Tens of billions? dium-grade Spiritual Stones?” Chen Xiaobei exclaid.
All of Chen Xiaobei’s assets combined were only around 1.5 billion dium-grade Spiritual Stones.
Chen Xiaobei could have easily been amongst the richest n in the Nine Zones but here in the Black Tortoise continent, Chen Xiaobei’s financial power was not even worthy to be ntioned.
Xiaoman then pointed in another direction. “And over there! That outrageously beautiful woman in black! She’s the core disciple of Qin Family! The Qin Family is in the top-tier of the richest families in Vermillion Phoenix! Qin Yitian is the number one genius of her generation in her family! She ca all the way here by herself! There must be sothing that she really needs to buy here!”
“Qin Yitian?” Chen Xiaobei turned to look and his eyes widened.
The woman was stunning. Tall and shapely, she carried the body of a demon’s*!
This was exactly what Chen Xiaobei had talked about – beauty that put Yun Ziqiao to sha.
Strangely, none of the n dared look straight at Qin Yitian’s bewitching looks!
They knew who she was and were too afraid of the Heaven Dominating Faction and the Vermillion Phoenix Qin Family to offend her in any way.
Those who did not know who she was were repelled by the intense murderous intent that she exuded.
“Childe…” Su Xiaoman said nervously. “Don’t stare at her like that… You’ll only attract trouble…”
Chen Xiaobei quickly averted his gaze and sighed. “That woman’s murderous intent is freaky! She looks like she had just killed millions of people!”
“Of course!” Su Xiaoman said in almost a whisper. “Qin Yitian has a very special type of blood running through her veins. When she was just born, a Three-star Earth-God Instrunt, the Heaven Reliant Sword, fell from the heavens and made her master! The sword had never left her side ever since. The sword’s murderous intent has a big influence on her. After a while, she didn’t even have to speak to exude her terrifying murderous intent!”
“What blood could it have been that could cause a Three-star Earth-God Instrunt to voluntarily acknowledge her as its owner?!” Chen Xiaobei gasped.
Back in the Divine Dragon Ruin, the Green Dragon Emperor and the Vermillion Dragon Emperor had to offer a blood sacrifice to the sword before having to spend billions of Spiritual Stones to unleash the power of a Three-star Earth-God Instrunt.
This Qin Yitian, on the other hand, beca the master of a Three-star Earth-God Instrunt from birth! The gods in the heavens must surely adore her!
“I’m not sure either…” Su Xiaoman said. “I have heard people say that she’s the one in hundreds of millions Spirit Sword Master! Her family and Heaven Dominating Faction grood and trained Qin Yitian like she’s the finest of treasure!”
“Spirit Sword Master?” Chen Xiaobei scratched the back of his head. “Ah, forget it. We’ll never have anything to do with Vermillion Phoenix anyway. We don’t need to study this Qin Yitian! Did you find anything else?”
“Yup!” Su Xiaoman answered. “Do you see that young man covered in gold and jade? He’s Jiang Songtao, the only son of Jiang Fengming, an equipnt crafting master! The Jiang family assets are worth over ten billion. They are considered the top-tier family in Black Tortoise imperial city! The young master Jiang must have co here himself to collect materials for equipnt crafting!”
“Ten billion?” Chen Xiaobei looked puzzled. “How could an equipnt crafting master be so rich? Is the equipnt crafting industry that lucrative over here?”
“Of course!” Su Xiaoman nodded. “Equipnt crafting master, alchemists, Traditional Chinese dicine doctors, and talisman crafting masters – these are four of the most scarce major occupations! There are only a dozen or so in Black Tortoise’s population of three billion people! That’s why this vast market is dominated by a few talents!” Su Xiaoman explained. “Just like your wine, they are the only family of equipnt crafting master! One million for a bottle, non-negotiable! The patient had to spend money and yet they are grateful to you! How could you not earn money with this system!”
“Makes sense!” Chen Xiaobei nodded.
It was just like oil back on earth which was monopolized by the few big kahunas. The profits they earned are generous, to say the least.
Chen Xiaobei pondered for a mont and asked, “Can you give
the specifics? How high is the equipnt crafting industry’s profit margin?”
Su Xiaoman answered, “I’ll give you an example. The market price of a One-star Earth-God Instrunt is 100 million dium-grade Spiritual Stones! In reality, you only need a small number of Earth-God items and a rather large number of Spiritual items to manufacture one! The actual cost of it is probably nowhere near one-tenth of the price that they are selling it for in the market!
“Above all, Earth-God Instrunts are priceless most of the ti. You may not be able to get one even if you have 100 million! Normally, you can only get it if you fork out two to three hundred million. That’s twenty, thirty tis the cost price! Almost the entire price is pure profit!”
“That’s incredible!” Chen Xiaobei’s mind was whirring. “I could earn a lot of money if I open an equipnt crafting shop!”
“Childe Zhufeng, calm down! Equipnt crafting may be profitable but the process is very difficult!” Su Xiaoman frowned. “It could take anywhere from a few years to a decade to complete the production of one Earth-God Instrunt! Say you fail in the middle of the process, all the resources and energy you invested would be wasted! If everyone could craft equipnt so easily, then this industry wouldn’t have been so lucrative!”
Chen Xiaobei was not discouraged by this.
He had the Earth-God grade Green Jade Cauldron and Sani True Fire.
Last ti, it took him only six days to complete the upgrade of his Nightstalker Outfit with the Earth-God material called Milky-Wat Patterned Cloth!
Chen Xiaobei already had all the hardware to craft equipnt.
The only problem was that he did not have any blueprints of the equipnt!
Like making dicine and pills, only with a blueprint could he pick out the few materials or ingredients he needed and craft them according to the specifications to complete an item with a Spiritual Attribute!
Only with a blueprint could Chen Xiaobei set up an equipnt crafting shop with absolute confidence!
Then Chen Xiaobei’s wealth would soar, and it would only be a matter of ti before he beca the wealthiest person in all of Black Tortoise!
“Childe Zhufeng? Stop daydreaming!” Su Xiaoman cried. “Look over there! I’m afraid we’re going to have a problem!”
“Huh? What problem?” Chen Xiaobei turned to look, a furrow creeping into his brows.
