Chapter 121: Chapter 120 Yang Shi Returns to the Danai Dynasty
Regarding Yang Genshuoâs claim that it surpassed Maozi, Guo Xiaozhi could tell it was good wine, but he dared not agree right away.
âThat Maozi stuff comes with additional value, how can this be the same! Are you also going to sell one bottle for several thousand?â
âSeveral thousand? Stop kidding! It has to be at leastâŠâ
Yang Genshuo calculated a bit, the Star Drunken Dream Spirit Wine might have an impressive name, but it was just the most common first-grade spiritual brew, roughly equivalent to the Starbucks of Dan Fire Sect and True Fire Sectâa budget spiritual wine.
The so-called âstarâ was actually a natural spring that sparkled at night, incredibly cool and full of Water Spiritual Energy. Soak some grains in this water, add a few Cultivator techniques, and you could brew this spiritual-powered wine.
Theoretically, this was a grain alcohol, just made with grains and spirit water from the Immortal Cultivation World.
The cost of this thing wasnât high; one Spirit Stone could buy a jar.
When Yang Fu and Shen Yao made some money, each would hold a jar with a straw and sip slowly.
Yang Fu, knowing the Water Technique, would snap his fingers and have two jars of cool drinks, living it up.
But⊠a single Spirit Stone also seemed quite valuable?
Previously, the pills he sold that strengthened Martial Cultivators only cost Silver, and were available in whatever quantity one wanted.
This Spiritual Wine, however, needed Spirit Stones.
How should a product worth one Spirit Stone be priced?
This had Yang Genshuo stumped.
After all, setting the price too high wouldnât make it easy to sell⊠He could claim that drinking it would extend oneâs lifespan, but people had to believe it.
In fact, this Spiritual Wine was no different in essence from Spirit Rice; it just changed the taste, making it more comfortable for people to drink.
It was an item somewhere between Spirit Rice and Immortal Pills.
It didnât have immediate effects, but it truly was beneficial to the body.
âSo hereâs the thing, Xiaozhi⊠Speaking from the productâs cost price, this thing is more expensive than those supplements.â
âHoly shit! Brother Shuo, donât tell me you want me to sell a jar of wine for over 500,000?â
âThat was the planâŠâ
âBrother Shuo, youâre not doing Maozi here, youâre killing me! Forget it, Iâll just go sell your pills for you. Iâve just figured out a thing or two about that, and there can even be repeat customersâŠâ
âPills are good, but after all, theyâre not a long-term business, we donât have the qualifications⊠With this wine, on the other hand, we could open a winery, giving us a legal channel for our income.â
Now, a mere fuss would equate to 20 tons of natural gas. In the future, if we were to get more, how could a food factory that hadnât sold outside amass such capital and what could they possibly be producing secretly needing so much natural gas?
It wouldnât stand up to scrutiny, and a check would surely spell trouble.
Yang Genshuo now wanted to earn money more securely. After all, he was still flesh and blood, let alone cultivating immortality, he was still far from a congenital master!
âGot it, we need to launder the assets, right⊠Brother Shuo, give me the lowdown, how much does this stuff cost to make, does it surpass 500,000?â
âAh? No⊠I guess not?â
There was no way to compare, you couldnât just say five Grain Avoidance Cakes could buy a jar, could you?
Yang Genshuo felt dizzy from trying to convert between the resources of the two worlds.
âNow I get it! If thatâs the case, then letâs not make so much profit. Letâs package the Star Drunken Dream as a limited luxury good, one jar for 500,000, specifically targeting the rich elites.â
âThat works.â
The Yang Family really wasnât short of that bit of Spirit Stones. If the wine could be sold legitimately and turned into his assets, let alone 500,000, he would be fine with 100,000 a jar.
And there werenât any exaggerated effects anyway; one had to drink it regularly to extend the lifespan, a long-term process. Drinkers wouldnât see their lifespan increasing, just feeling a bit more comfortable in their bodies.
To be honest, if you tried some of the stuff thatâs just been legalized in the West, your body would feel comfortable tooâŠ
Guo Xiaozhi, now in his element, continued to analyze.
âBrother Shuo, wine isnât like compressed biscuits that get compressed and baked in a flurry, right? Doesnât this take time? How much can we sell in a year? Can we keep up with production?â
âYou donât have to worry about production, just do it. I have a way on that sideâŠâ
Yang Genshuoâs gaze drifted towards the study room in the southeast direction.
Guo Xiaozhi nodded in understanding, âGot it, it comes from Southeast AsiaâŠâ
ââŠâ
âI need to ponder this well, including the qualifications to sell wine and some other procedures and registration⊠Damn! It canât be more troublesome than starting a pharmaceutical factory.â
âIndeed.â
Yang Genshuo nodded in agreement.
If one could simply open a medicine factory, he wouldnât have to go through all this trouble.
âBro Shuo, Iâll take the remaining wine with me, wait for my news!â
Guo Xiaozhi hurried off to get things done, planning to find a few more experts to taste the wine and listen to their evaluations, gathering more material for future promotion and sales.
Phrases like soft on the palate⊠rich in soy aroma⊠sweet aftertaste⊠those professional terms arenât something one could come up with unless theyâre a seasoned poser.
Yang Genshuo found a new way to make money, and it seemed quite feasible. He happily practiced his sword for a while.
As he practiced⊠a huge noise erupted from inside Yang Genshuoâs body.
It was as if all his muscles, bones, and skin had stretched out, and his height increased by 1 centimeter.
At that moment, he felt a realization.
âIâve reached Great Perfection in the fifth layer of Body Refining!â
Though he had only been practicing for a little over a month, he had consumed a lot of pills!
Mortal pills for supplementing qi and blood, and strengthening the five organs.
Cultivator pills like Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, Fire Quenching Pill, Blazing Body Strengthening Pill, and Second Grade Dragon Tiger Golden Pill.
Just by eating these, he had been pulled from a plump, unexercised, sub-healthy body to the fifth layer of Body Refining!
All he needed to do was to move his muscles and bones a bit and he could naturally advance to the next stage.
âThe next realm is Qi Cultivation⊠darn, I need to practice the Mingxin Technique as well.â
The thought of sitting cross-legged all night to cultivate qi made him uncomfortable.
It was just too boring!
âSigh! Better start cultivating. Becoming an immortal is far off, itâs more realistic to first become an innate grandmaster.â
Yang Genshuo hadnât expected that, despite looking down on Yang Fujian who lacked a Spirit Root, he himself was actually worse off than Yang Fujian⊠at least Fujian had a talent for martial arts.
[Blessing: Vitality]
Yang Genshuo casually bestowed a thread of blessing to Yang Fujian.
Yang Fujian, who was cultivating qi, suddenly opened his eyes, feeling the warm golden Blessings on his body. He pursed his lips and hurriedly stood up to find his mother, Liu Zihan.
âMom! The ancient ancestor has blessed me!â
âHmm?â
âThe ancient ancestor⊠didnât disdain Fujian.â
For the first time in 8 years, he had received a blessing from the ancient ancestor.
Liu Zihanâs nose tingled with emotion, she touched Yang Fujianâs head, and tears began to flow. She knelt down with Yang Fujian in the ancestral hall.
âThank you, ancient ancestor, for caring about Fujian⊠He will definitely become the Yang Familyâs most outstanding Martial Cultivator in the future!â
âYes! Definitely!â Yang Fujianâs small face was also very serious.
The recognition from the ancient ancestor was very important to her and her son.
[Your descendant Yang Fujian felt the care from the ancestor and became more devout towards you, Incense Fire Value +10.]
âSigh, when thereâs a chance, I should help the kid absorb a few Demon Beasts.â
Yang Genshuo felt that the deeper he got into the game, the stronger his bonds with the Yang Family became, and each character inside felt like a real, flesh-and-blood person with genuine emotions.
Every small decision he made could affect these peopleâs lives forever.
By this time, Yang Genshuoâs company had finished moving the equipment, and the Yang Family had all been settled within the Fierce Sun Dynasty; everything was arranged nicely.
After spending half a year with his family, Yang Shi once again set foot into the Danai Dynasty.
This time, he had no attachments holding him back.
One man, one sword, one big supply of provisions.
The Gold (money)-based Sword Saint, has returned!
