The Clan Master Can t possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 293: Chapter 293: An Excited Liu Ming, Heading to Tongpan City
“Elder Gong, you think a five-fold price is the right one, don’t you?”

Ye Feng casually inquired.

After initially succeeding in concocting the Bloodline Purifying Pill, he had contemplated the future possibility of selling the elixir.

As for Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu, the siblings who were adept at arithmetic and business, Ye Feng had already decided they would be the appointed Outer Sect Affairs Managers, specifically in charge of managing the sect’s commercial and trade operations in the future.

However, the Misty Sect had not developed to that stage yet. Besides, Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu were still too young to handle such responsibilities.

“Sect Leader has stated that the Bloodline Purifying Pill can purify the bloodline of a spiritual beast without limitations, elevating their potential. Such an elixir can be priced at five to ten times the cost without any issues,”

Gong Qingqiu expressed his view, “However, since Lord Liu indeed has been beneficial to our Misty Sect, we can offer an insider price of three to four times the cost.

“Brilliant!” Ye Feng praised.

This was in line with his own thoughts.

“Then it’s settled. Each pill will be priced at four times the cost, which is two hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones. Two hundred pills would then be forty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.”

Ye Feng set the price firmly.

“Yes,” Gong Qingqiu nodded.

Although Misty Sect currently possessed quite a number of Spirit Stones, Ye Feng didn’t intend to concoct too many Bloodline Purifying Pills for the time being.

As for creatures like the Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts—Whitefloat Five Immortals, Little White Fox, Brother Flathead, Golden-furred Squirrel—most were presently at the cusp of breaking through to the High-rank Demon Soldier Peak.

At this stage, they didn’t need to consume the Bloodline Purifying Pill; they could simply use their own bloodline to challenge the bottleneck and break through.

The need for the pills would arise when they aimed to advance to the Demon General rank.

“Inform Lord Liu,”

Ye Feng commanded.

“Yes.” Gong Qingqiu took out a green willow leaf and gently tossed it; the leaf instantly transformed into a sharp green blade and shot through the air for several thousand meters, flying towards County King City.

The next morning.

“Sect Master Ye, are the pills ready?”

Liu Ming arrived personally at the scene and, seeing Ye Feng’s weary face, expressed surprise, “Sect Master Ye, what’s happened to you?”

“It’s nothing serious, just exhaustion from the prolonged alchemy,” Ye Feng spoke with a hoarse voice that made anyone believe he was very tired.

This was an act he had deliberately put on.

Otherwise, if Liu Ming knew he could concoct two hundred pills daily, wouldn’t he be hounding Ye Feng to make pills every single day?

To avoid trouble, Ye Feng had to resort to this stratagem.

Liu Ming glanced at the radiantly healthy-looking Gong Qingqiu and Hu Feifei and said meaningfully, “Sect Master Ye, you must rest more often. Alchemy can be slower, and of course, you could do certain things a bit less.”

Ye Feng almost spat out blood upon hearing this.

Gong Qingqiu’s face turned red, and she lowered her head.

Hu Feifei, not understanding the subtext of Liu Ming’s words, remained very calm and even started to make tea for everyone.

“Let’s not talk about that. Here are two hundred Bloodline Purifying Pills. Lord Liu, you can take them all,”

Ye Feng spread out two brocade boxes on the table, opened them all, and the fragrance of lotus flowers filled the air, grabbing Liu Ming’s attention.

“The quality of all these Bloodline Purifying Pills that Sect Master Ye concocted is very high, and the efficacy must be excellent, but… two hundred pills? That’s a lot, I didn’t bring enough Spirit Stones today!” Liu Ming rubbed his green hair, appearing a bit embarrassed.

“Ah?” Ye Feng was taken aback.

“I only brought these.”

Liu Ming brought out a bag of Spirit Stones and placed it on the table. A rich spiritual radiance burst forth, instantly increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in the surroundings by more than tenfold.

Hu Feifei’s eyes widened as she stared at the bag, her gaze practically spelling out “I want to eat.”

“There’s only about a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, probably not enough?” Liu Ming muttered softly.

Ye Feng and Gong Qingqiu exchanged glances, silently shedding tears.

To describe a hundred thousand Spirit Stones as ‘only’?

True to form, the might of a Spirit Sea Realm Great Power is to be unostentatiously wealthy, isn’t it?

Too mundane!

Ye Feng was at a loss for words.

Perhaps, this is what it means to be a big shot!

After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng composed himself and clarified, “Lord Liu, have you perhaps misunderstood something? For instance, the selling price of each Bloodline Purifying Pill.”

“A misunderstanding?”

Lord Liu furrowed his brows slightly, “The Bloodline Purifying Pill’s efficacy is very good. It can even purify my own bloodline. Each one should cost at least a thousand Spirit Stones, right? For two hundred pills, that’s starting at two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.”

“So, it turns out it was Lord Liu who overestimated the price,” Ye Feng realized, turning to exchange glances again with Gong Qingqiu.

After this matter, they confirmed that they had still undervalued the price of the Bloodline Purifying Pills; indeed, when selling them externally, each Elixir would have to go for over a thousand Spirit Stones.

“Lord Liu is our friend, so I’ll give you the internal price, 200 Spirit Stones each, making it a total of 40,000 Spirit Stones for the two hundred Bloodline Purifying Pills. Deducting the deposit, just give me another 30,000 Spirit Stones, and that will suffice,” he said.

Ye Feng did not want to swindle Liu Ming.

Quadruple the price was high enough, after all, they were friends.

“No, it’s too cheap; I won’t feel good about eating them,” Liu Ming yet shook his head, leaving behind three hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones and two Upper Grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to fifty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, far exceeding Ye Feng’s pricing.

“Sect Master Ye, let me know when you have new Bloodline Purifying Pills. I bid you farewell!”

With a wave of his large sleeves, Liu Ming swept up all the pills on the table and soared towards the sky, disappearing from sight in a flash.

Ye Feng watched the Spirit Stones left on the table and fell into deep thought.

Was Liu Ming a big spender?

He was a Demon King and was unlikely to carry the foolhardy thought that “it’s too cheap, I won’t feel secure eating them.”

In Ye Feng’s view, Liu Ming gave so much surely because he wanted to foster a good relationship with Misty Sect to potentially have continuous access to Bloodline Purifying Pills in the future.

“It seems that Lord Liu has quite deep intentions!”

Murmuring to himself, Ye Feng’s face was filled with smiles.

He handed the three hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones to Gong Qingqiu and kept the two Upper Grade Spirit Stones for himself, instructing, “Elder Gong, take these Spirit Stones for the Sect’s daily expenditures.”

“Understood,” Gong Qingqiu responded as she left.

“I know you need Upper Grade Spirit Stones, so these two are for you,” Ye Feng tossed the Spirit Stones to Hu Feifei.

“Thank you, Sect Master!”

Hu Feifei eagerly received the Spirit Stones and absorbed the power within them then and there, swishing her bushy tail comfortably.

[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 40%]

After both Upper Grade Spirit Stones were depleted of energy, Ye Feng received a prompt and noticed that the accumulated upgrade energy was almost passing the halfway mark.

“Sect Master, I want to eat more!” Hu Feifei was not yet satisfied.

After absorbing the energy, she felt warm all over, her pink hair had grown to waist-length and fluttered in the wind.

“If you eat more, this Sect Master will go bankrupt,” Ye Feng hastily refused.

The first trade with Liu Ming had secured a hefty amount of Spirit Stones for Misty Sect.

Now, Gong Qingqiu had a substantial amount of Spirit Stones in her possession.

She found Shi Lei and, with the help of the disciples, built many pavilions and towers on the northern section of the mountain’s steps to serve as lodgings for new beginners.

Several days passed.

In a valley by the Flowing Water River.

Li Hanshao and Wu De watched in astonishment as a High-rank Demon Soldier Level Demon Beast was pierced and subdued by five iron chains in the newly built Demon-locking Tower.

“So, this is the purpose of the Demon-locking Tower!”

They marveled.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect Protector looked at them coldly and said, “Obviously, the Demon-locking Tower is for locking up demons; what else would it be used for, a privy? Alright, from now on, you two are the tower masters here, responsible for safeguarding this place.”

With that, the Protector left two bottles of Elixir behind and strode away.

“It’s Body Tempering Qi Pills and Lower Grade Consolidating Origin Pills.”

“Thank you, Protector Lord!”

Li Hanshao and Wu De repeatedly thanked him, then picked up the Elixirs and settled in a wooden building near the Demon-locking Tower.

A few more days passed.

The New Spring Gathering of Biyue Villa was drawing near.

On the summit of Misty Peak.

Long Qitian and Xia Tiantian waited outside the Sect Leader’s Great Hall and asked the man in front of them, “Cousin, isn’t Sect Master Ye here?”

“The Sect Master and Protector have left to cultivate outside; therefore, Elder Gong Qingqiu will lead the team this time,” Long Tianxing explained.

Hearing that Ye Feng and Hu Feifei were not attending, Long Qitian and Xia Tiantian felt somewhat disappointed.

However, as Gong Qingqiu was also a Sect Master-level prowess and a Misty Sect Elder, it was more than sufficient for her to take charge of leading the team.

Soon, everyone set off.
