Chapter 43 – Making a fortune
Since Su Mu himself set the price, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.
As long as the Strength Pill's effects are genuine, each one could sell for at least 30 Low-Grade Spirit Stones in the Great Wilderness.
He would still make a huge profit!
Qin Yu asked, "Senior Brother Su, when do you need them? I don't have much stock on hand right now and need to go back to refine more pills!"
Su Mu thought for a moment and said, "About a week from now!"
"But Junior Brother, I need to test the effect of your pill. I hope you don't mind!"
"Of course not, that's only fair!" Qin Yu handed a Strength Pill to Su Mu, "Senior Brother Su, you should have heard just now, after taking the Strength Pill, you'll grow hair all over and turn into a gorilla!"
"I know that!" Su Mu suggested, "Why don't we discuss it further in my cave abode?"
"Sure!"
The two of them walked to Su Mu's cave abode.
"Junior Brother, I don't know your name yet?"

"Qin Yu!"
"Junior Brother Qin, have some water first, I'll take the pill now!"
"Alright!"
Su Mu swallowed the Strength Pill in one gulp and soon felt a continuous surge of power growing within him.
His muscles quickly bulged, his arms began to lengthen, and black hair sprouted all over his body.
In no time, a giant gorilla appeared before Qin Yu.
Prepared for this, Su Mu wasn't alarmed; instead, he curiously admired his expanding muscles.
"How do you feel, Senior Brother Su?" Qin Yu asked.
Su Mu clenched his fist and punched the air.
"Amazing, this pill is truly amazing!" The gorilla's face showed a human-like smile.
"My strength should have increased more than threefold; I'm very satisfied with this effect. By the way, I'm a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
Qin Yu nodded, having anticipated the reduced effect on a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The principle of this pill wasn't to increase strength but to turn a person into a spirit beast.
The difference between a Qi Refinement cultivator and a spirit beast's physical body is the greatest, and as a cultivator's realm continues to rise, their physical quality improves, gradually narrowing this gap.
"Junior Brother Qin, I'll take fifty Strength Pills and fifty antidotes for now. I'll transfer you 100 contribution points as a deposit and come back for the goods in a week!"
"Alright, Senior Brother Su, when you want to reverse the pill's effects, just take the antidote, and wash off the black hair with water!"
"Got it!" Su Mu continued to punch, testing his strength.
"Senior Brother Su, I'll take my leave now!"
"Alright, goodbye!"
After leaving Senior Brother Su's cave abode, Qin Yu couldn't help but smile.
"I'm making a fortune, making a fortune!"
"My current success rate is about one-third, and the cost of a single pill is only one contribution point; with the antidote, it's just two contribution points in total. A set of pills can earn me 8 contribution points!"
"A full 50 sets of pills, netting 400 contribution points!"
"As long as my alchemy skills hold up, I won't have to worry about cultivation resources for the next few months!"
After Qin Yu left, Su Mu couldn't help but grin.
"I'm making a fortune, making a fortune!"
"A pill that can increase a Foundation Establishment cultivator's strength threefold can sell for at least 50 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and the cost is only 10. A set of pills can net 40!"
"As long as I can survive the Great Wilderness and add my savings over the years, I have a hope of reaching the Golden Elixir stage!"
Both thought they had struck it rich!
...
A week later, the transaction was completed!
Qin Yu's contribution points reached 500!
Time flew by, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
In the blink of an eye, Qin Yu had been at the Xuantian Sect for over four months.
Now, Qin Yu had already broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refinement, and he used all four opportunities to copy talents on 'Low-Grade Spiritual Root,' successfully merging it into a High-Grade Spiritual Root.
[Name: Qin Yu]
[Talent: High-Grade Spiritual Root (B-Rank), Mid-Grade Spiritual Root (C-Rank), Fire Fan Boy (D-Rank)]
[Progress: 11% (Note: When progress reaches 100%, you will gain an opportunity to copy a talent!)]
Qin Yu's cultivation level now far surpassed that of the servant disciples and was among the top in the Outer Sect disciples.
In terms of cultivation, Qin Yu was way ahead, and he hadn't fallen behind in alchemy either.
Qin Yu maintained a routine of refining pills during the day and cultivating at night.
Although no one was buying Qin Yu's pills, he still didn't give up on alchemy.
Because refining pills not only relieved Qin Yu's cultivation fatigue but also enhanced his mental power, helping him better condense spiritual power.
In these months, Qin Yu learned to make several more types of pills.
Qi Refinement Pill!
A regular Qi Refinement Pill can help a Qi Refinement stage cultivator triple their cultivation speed, while Qin Yu's version increases it fivefold.
But the downside is, after taking the pill, the itching is unbearable, making it impossible to focus on cultivation.
Qin Yu consulted Li Zihao for a solution, which involved continuously stimulating different acupoints in a specific sequence to numb the sensation.
Fortification Pill!
A regular Fortification Pill can enhance a cultivator's surface defense.
Qin Yu's version, once consumed, makes the skin as hard as rock!
But the downside is, after consumption, the skin petrifies, literally turning into a stone.
Solution: Wait for the effects to wear off!
Body Refinement Pill!
A regular Body Refinement Pill, taken during cultivation, can enhance physical strength.
Qin Yu's version, taken during cultivation, not only enhances physical strength but also increases the cultivator's pain tolerance!
The downside is, after consumption, the body becomes extremely sensitive, and even a slight touch causes unbearable pain.
Solution: Again, continuously stimulate different acupoints in a specific sequence, but each stimulation is excruciatingly painful.
Although the pills he refined always had some minor issues, Qin Yu believed that if he was a diamond, he would eventually shine.
His pills would definitely become famous in the Cultivation World, adored by thousands.
