The Sovereign’s Ascension

Chapter 219

But clearly, it was unrealistic. Lin Yun patted on Li Wuyou’s shoulder and smiled, “You only need to be responsible for helping out. We still have to rely on Master Ku Yun for this one.”

Li Wuyou didn’t have any doubt in Lin Yun’s words. Turning to Ku Yun, he smiled, “Master, just let me know if there’s any dirty work. I’ll be on call any time!”

His words made Ku Yun feel embarrassed. Right now, Lin Yun took out a Greater Profound Pellet and asked, “Master, this is a Greater Profound Pellet refined by you. If I remember correctly, it only has some elementary spiritual runes inscribed on it, right?”

“My Greater Profound Pellets can only be considered average. It has about 50% effects.” Ku Yun nodded.

“Why 50%?” Li Wuyou was baffled.

“During the process of refining the pellet, it’s difficult to avoid the loss of herbal effect no matter how skillful you are. Normally when the pellet is refined, it will lose about 70% of its effects. But you can rely on inscribing spiritual runes to reduce the loss of herbal effect,” Ku Yun explained.

Lin Yun naturally understood the simple logic behind alchemy after spending three days in the Alchemy Chamber with Ku Yun. He asked, “What about the Greater Profound Pellets refined by Fu Guang?”

“70%!” Ku Yun replied with a solemn expression. “That is already the limit of a Greater Profound Pellet. The Aquacloud Spiritual Rune inscribed by him can retain 70% of the herbal effect. So it naturally has great appeal to cultivators in the Profound Martial Realm.”

“Aquacloud Spiritual Rune? Do you know how to inscribe it?” Lin Yun asked. He had searched the spiritual runes available in the Age Sutra, but there wasn’t any Aquacloud Spiritual Rune.

“I can inscribe it, but my success rate isn’t high. The difficulty of the Aquacloud Spiritual Rune and Firecloud Spiritual Rune is about the same level. You can be considered a two star alchemist once you master it,” Ku Yun replied reluctantly.

“Fu Guang isn’t only good at the Aquacloud Spiritual Rune, but he also has high attainment in it. In terms of the Aquacloud Spiritual Rune, there are no more than three people who are better than him in the capital.”

“Is that so?” Lin Yun asked, “Can you give me an example?”

Ku Yun nodded. Stretching out a piece of spiritual paper, he took out a brand new Spiritual Rune Brush and dipped it in ink made of demonic beast’s blood. He then took out a jade strip and started drawing on the paper with a grave expression.

Ku Yun instantly felt relieved and handed the Spiritual Rune Brush and jade strip to Lin Yun. Placing the jade strip on his forehead, the Aquacloud Spiritual Rune appeared in Lin Yun’s mind. It was constructed with thousands of elementary spiritual runes.

The Aquacloud Spiritual Rune might feel tranquil, but it’s actually more complicated than the violet Firecloud Spiritual Rune. No wonder Ku Yun wasn’t able to inscribe it. Lin Yun closed his eyes to remember every single detail of the Aquacloud Spiritual Rune. When he reopened his eyes, he placed the jade strip back on the table.

Ku Yun was shocked when he saw this scene. Lin Yun memorized it with just a glance? The Aquacloud Spiritual Rune was more complicated, and just the transition between water and cloud was difficult. But when he saw Lin Yun taking up the brush, he immediately held his breath and did not dare to speak.

Lin Yun looked serious and started drawing elementary spiritual runes with his brush. The concentration shown by Lin Yun was a picturesque scene.

Under his vigorous strokes, the elementary spiritual runes began to take form smoothly in a flow. With the infusion of the age energy, the elementary spiritual runes were brimming with spiritual energy.

“Done!” Lin Yun finished the final stroke, completing the Aquacloud Spiritual Rune. The rune looked like a combination between both water and cloud.

“Wow!” Li Wuyou exclaimed out.

Even Ku Yun looked excited. He patted Li Wuyou on the shoulder, “Don’t just stand there. Start the fire to refine pellets!”

The two of them immediately started working. Ku Yun would be responsible for refining pellets, while Li Wuyou would handle the miscellaneous work. As for Lin Yun, he would focus on inscribing spiritual runes alone.

The three of them didn’t even wink at night and were completely exhausted. But they were excited when they looked at the thirty glittering pellets on the table. Pursing his lips, Li Wuyou asked, “Master, how much do you think we’re going to price our Greater Profound Pellets?”

“Ordinary Greater Profound Pellets cost ten spiritual jades, thirty spiritual jades for the ones I refined. As for Fu Guang, his cost a hundred spiritual jades.” Fu Guang scratched his head.

Fu Guang’s pellets instantly cost ten times the price, which made Li Wuyou surprised. But Lin Yun reacted to it calmly. After all, how could ordinary Greater Profound Pellets compare to one with the Aquacloud Spiritual Rune inscribed on it? Not to mention that Fu Guang’s pellets were so popular that they would be instantly brought out.

Looking at Lin Yun, Ku Yun asked carefully, “Little Master, what do you think is an appropriate price for our Greater Profound Pellets?”

“How about a hundred spiritual jades?” Lin Yun asked nervously. He had his own pride, and he was confident that his Greater Profound Pellet wouldn’t be any worse than Fu Guang’s. After all, he would be looking down on himself if the price was lower than Fu Guang.

“Is that appropriate?” Ku Yun was also feeling a little nervous. After all, it would be embarrassing if he couldn’t sell it. On the other hand, Li Wuyou had a huge shock. If they were really sold, then it would be a huge sum of 3,000 spiritual jades. Even after splitting it with the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, they would still get about 900 spiritual jades.

It was just one night’s worth of work. And if this continued for half a month, Lin Yun would accumulate enough resources to cultivate. But could these pellets really be sold for such a high price?

“Master, how are you doing with refining pellets?” A voice sounded out. It was Hall Master Wei, the person-in-charge of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.

When they entered, Ku Yun handed a porcelain bottle over and replied, “30 Greater Profound Pellets here. As for the price, it will be 100 spiritual jades for one.”

“You’re pretty efficient to refine thirty Greater Profound Pellets in a night… Wait, how much did you say?” Hall Master Wei was shocked. Did he listen correctly? 100 spiritual jades for one pellet? The prices for Greater Profound Pellets might be high recently, but not so exaggerating.

Toughening his scalps, Ku Yun acknowledged, “That’s right. You didn’t listen wrongly.”

“Okay. But the Myriad Treasure Pavilion can only sell it out at market price if it’s not being sold,” Hall Master Wei smiled, despite the doubt he felt.

“That’s for sure.”

Hall Master Wei did not continue any further and left the room after putting on the label.

Suddenly, Ku Yun turned to look at Lin Yun, “What are we going to do now?”

“Sleep.” Lin Yun replied calmly. “We’ll just leave it to fate.”

They instantly fell asleep on the floor from the exhaustion.

In the Glittering Pavilion, Hall Master Mo had a meeting with Liu Yue and Fu Guang, who had just woken up. Raising his cup, Hall Master Mo smiled, “Master, did you have a good rest?”

“It wasn’t bad,” Fu Guang replied casually.

“This time, the Glittering Pavilion has stocked 300,000 Greater Profound Pellets. We’ll be depending on you whether we can sell them out,” Hall Master Mo smiled.

Looking prideful, Fu Guang replied, “With my reputation alone, I guarantee that you can sell them out even if you have a million stocked up.”

Hall Master Mo was instantly overjoyed. He replied, “Then please go into seclusion for ten days. The Glittering Pavilion will start building up the momentum for you. Ten days later, I’ll make sure that everyone in the capital knows that you’re here!”

Fu Guang nodded his head silently. He was experienced with this kind of scene to the point that he was already numb to it.
