That Is Not My Sister But Bibi Dong?!

Ye Tian's technique was incredibly skilled.

He used bamboo to set up a bamboo rack on either side of the charcoal fire.

He placed the skewered Fire Spirit Chickens on the rack and continuously turned them while roasting.

Before long, golden drops of oil dripped onto the charcoal, sizzling as they fell.

An enticing aroma began to waft from the Fire Spirit Chickens.

The Fire Spirit Chicken is a type of soul beast, different from ordinary domesticated chickens. The Fire Spirit Chicken absorbs soul power and has extremely tender and delicious meat, which also provides great health benefits.

For ordinary people, eating it replenishes physical deficiencies and strengthens the body.

For soul masters, consuming Fire Spirit Chicken regularly can even increase their soul power.

The Fire Spirit Chickens at the farm were specifically bred and selected by Ye Tian, with an efficacy ten times that of the wild Fire Spirit Chickens found in nature.

Moreover, since these Fire Spirit Chickens were free-range and didn't face competition in the wild, they grew up carefree, resulting in even more delicious meat.

Because of this, a five-pound farm-raised Fire Spirit Chicken sold for as much as 200 Gold Soul Coins in the market.

Even at such a high price, soul masters would scramble to buy them.

"Big brother, you wouldn't just raise Fire Spirit Chickens for no reason—could this be your secret to making money too?"

Hu Liena stared at the Fire Spirit Chickens, licking her lips as she curiously asked.

Before Ye Tian could answer, Li Jiuchuan on the side chuckled and said, "Miss Nana, you guessed it right. My Li family has a business partnership with Young Master Ye Tian, transporting Fire Spirit Chickens.

Every time a Li family ship carrying Fire Spirit Chickens approaches the port, people rush madly to buy them, most of them being soul masters."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the Fire Spirit Chickens, her face full of astonishment.

Ye Tian truly had a brilliant business mind.

Even a small Fire Spirit Chicken in his hands could become a best-selling product.

Hu Liena tugged at Ye Tian's sleeve, shaking it as she asked, "Big brother, how many Fire Spirit Chickens do you have at the farm?"

"You'll have to ask Old Chen about that. He's in charge of managing the farm," Ye Tian replied.

Chen Jian, standing behind them, chuckled when he heard this, raised a finger, and said with a grin, "Not many, just 100,000."

Sss!

Hearing this, Hu Liena gasped, feeling like she could hardly breathe.

She stared in awe at the mountainside of the Butterfly Farm, thinking, wasn't this entire mountain full of Fire Spirit Chickens?

Such a massive scale of farming was terrifying!

"And the price?" Hu Liena suddenly thought of a key issue.

Li Jiuchuan quickly responded, "About 200 Gold Soul Coins, right? Fire Spirit Chickens are the standard meal for soul masters in my Li family, so I shouldn't be wrong about the price."

Hu Liena was stunned, counting on her fingers. After a moment, she finally calculated the figure.

Didn't that mean the total value of the Fire Spirit Chickens was over 20 million Gold Soul Coins?

Good heavens!

That was such an enormous sum!

To put it in perspective, the annual military budget of the Spirit Hall was about the same amount!

(T/N: Miss Hu Liena for sure is confused about the budgets lmao)

Even the Pope's Palace had to scrimp and save to allocate such a large military budget.

And yet, Ye Tian's farm alone, just by selling chickens, could rival the Spirit Hall's yearly military expenditure!

At this moment, Hu Liena was tempted to advise her teacher to switch professions and have the Spirit Hall start raising chickens!

Why bother being a soul master when raising chickens was so profitable?

No wonder Ye Tian had been so nonchalant when he said selling pickles could earn him millions of Gold Soul Coins.

It turned out that even tens of millions of Gold Soul Coins were just pocket change to him.

Suppressing her inner shock, Hu Liena asked, "Is there something special about these Fire Spirit Chickens? Why do they sell for such a high price?"

She was genuinely puzzled.

If pickles could be explained by the principle of rarity, Fire Spirit Chickens clearly couldn't be explained by the same logic.

After all, who couldn't raise chickens?

Any farmer might have a few chickens at home.

Moreover, Fire Spirit Chickens weren't a rare species.

You could find wild Fire Spirit Chickens in many forests.

Seeing Hu Liena's confusion, Li Jiuchuan looked surprised. "Nana, don't you know that Fire Spirit Chicken meat can aid in cultivation for soul masters?"

"What?"

For a moment, Hu Liena couldn't wrap her head around it.

Fire Spirit Chicken meat could help with cultivation?

Even Bibi Dong, standing nearby, was taken aback by this statement.

On the Douluo Continent, any natural treasure that could aid in cultivation was exceptionally rare and difficult to obtain.

Yet the Fire Spirit Chicken was completely the opposite, practically as common as ordinary chickens, with a similar growth cycle.

She simply couldn't associate Fire Spirit Chickens with cultivation aid.

Seeing Hu Liena's shocked expression, Li Jiuchuan was a bit puzzled and explained further.

"This is common knowledge along the coast; otherwise, the sales of Fire Spirit Chickens wouldn't be so overwhelming."

He added with a slight smile, "Since you're Ye Tian's sister, how could you not know about this?"

Ye Tian calmly turned the Fire Spirit Chicken in his hand, ensuring it cooked evenly, while explaining,

"My sister and Nana were maids in Spirit City before, and they've only recently returned, so they aren't too familiar with these things."

"I see," Li Jiuchuan nodded in understanding.

She glanced at Hu Liena with a hint of envy.

Nana was truly fortunate to have become Ye Tian's sister by chance and had the privilege of staying by his side.

Meanwhile, she could only admire from afar, not even qualified to be his friend—merely an acquaintance at best.

Li Jiuchuan lowered her eyes, her expression momentarily downcast.

But she quickly composed herself.

After all, she was just an outsider.

Before this, she had only heard from her grandfather about Ye Tian's abilities.

This was her first time meeting him in person.

In a way, this was another case of attraction at first sight.

Thinking of this, Li Jiuchuan couldn't help but laugh.

It turned out she too was a superficial person.

Next to her, Ye Tian noticed that the Fire Spirit Chickens were almost done roasting.

He took out several bottles of seasoning from his pouch and sprinkled some over the chickens.

The combination of heat, seasoning, and oil on the Fire Spirit Chicken immediately released a scent even more enticing than before.

It was impossible to take your eyes off the chickens.

Hu Liena, seated nearby, was silent. Her big, bright eyes were fixed on the Fire Spirit Chicken, nearly drooling.

She nudged Ye Tian and tentatively asked, "How about letting me have a taste? Just to see if it's done."

Ye Tian chuckled and glanced at her. "You say you want just a taste, but you'd probably end up eating the whole chicken."

"I wouldn't!" Hu Liena pouted, wiping her hands on her clothes, her expression a bit shifty.

Ye Tian continued turning the chickens. "Don't worry, there's plenty for you."

Fifteen minutes later.

The two Fire Spirit Chickens on the grill were finally done, their crispy golden skin giving off a mouth-watering aroma that could be smelled from dozens of meters away.

"Smells amazing," Hu Liena rested her chin on her hands, staring longingly at the chickens. She wanted to dig in but felt she had to maintain her ladylike composure in front of Li Jiuchuan.

Li Jiuchuan, as a guest, maintained her polite manners and simply smiled while standing by Ye Tian's side.

The only one not distracted by the delicious food was Bibi Dong.

Her expression remained calm as she gazed into the distance, her thoughts clearly elsewhere, pondering the resistance she faced in transferring Spirit Hall officials to different regions.

Large-scale relocations inevitably brought chaos.

Passing through Grand Worshipper Qian Daoliu's approval would be no easy feat.

Bibi Dong's eyes reflected determination as her slender hands gradually clenched.

No matter what, she was resolved to push this reform through!
