Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being
chapter-557

Yan Tianhen could only wilt and say, “Then this plan will be put on hold for the time being. I’ll think about it later.”

Qi Feiqing sighed and patted Yan Tianhen’s shoulder as he spoke sympathetically, “After entering the business path, I discovered that this isn’t an easy road to walk either. The most convenient way to earn contribution points within the sect is to accept commissions and enter evil spirit arrays. These rewards are extremely high, but we have only just entered the academy for a year, and the academy forbids us to do these things.”

Yan Tianhen looked like he had been struck by lightning. “If even this path is blocked, then how do they expect us to earn contribution points? They can’t truly let me take care of other young masters’ demonic beasts, right? It’s too fraudulent; it’s practically cheap labor ah.”

“Save it.” Qi Feiqing sighed. “The sect naturally keeps a strict control over the acquisition of contribution points. After all, contribution can be used for a lifetime. If you still have a lot of contribution points in hand even after you leave the sect, it will inevitably affect the academy’s normal operation. Moreover, there are mostly two ways for first-year disciples to earn contribution points. One is competition, and the other is odd jobs. Don’t look down on odd jobs like raising demonic beasts. I see that Yin Changge has earned a considerable amount of contribution points by looking after those demonic beasts. This time tomorrow, the 100 spirit stones that he owes the academy can be paid off. It’s quite good.”

Yan Tianhen sighed. “Forget it, I had better start saving now. These jobs all have quotas.”

He didn’t want to snatch food and resources from disciples who were truly in poverty.

Qi Feiqing was business-minded. He turned his eyes slightly. “Actually, it is not impossible to open a medicinal pill shop like you said before.”

“What do you mean?”

“You only need to sell some medicinal pills that the gentlemen don’t refine. Naturally, many people will flock to you.” Qi Feiqing looked a little satisfied.

Yan Tianhen blinked and snapped his fingers. “Thanks for reminding me — although the gentlemen refine medicinal pills, it is impossible for them to include all kinds of pills. For example, I don’t believe that they will refine poison.”

Qi Feiqing nearly slipped and fell to the ground. He stared at Yan Tianhen with wide eyes. “Poison? You want to refine poison pills? Aren’t you afraid the inspection team will arrest and interrogate you?”

Yan Tianhen smiled. “All medicine is toxic to some degree. If it’s not used properly, even a panacea can harm people. In this world, there is no strict distinction between medicinal pills and poison pills.”

Therefore, Qi Feiqing and Yan Tianhen discussed all afternoon, and immediately slapped each other’s hand before parting. They had set the future development direction of the medicinal pill shop.

Gu Ruyu didn’t know about this matter until the next day. When he found out, Qi Feiqing had already taken out all his remaining contribution points to rent a booth.

Setting up stalls on the ground were not allowed, and they would never be allowed. At the very least, the sect was the highest place in the entire Nine Lands. How could such unseemly scenes appear here?

However, although it was called renting a booth, it was actually just a spot with a cover above, a long table below, and two chairs behind the table. All the things to be sold would be placed on the table. This was considered a booth.

You could see the sky if you looked up, and it was even ventilated from east to west, north to south. In Qi Feiqing’s words, it was accessible from all directions ah.

“I just heard my friend in the Alchemy Division say that early this morning, Prince Ye and a young master surnamed Qi rented a booth in the business street together, the kind that needs two contribution points a day. They actually want to sell medicinal pills!”

Gu Ruyu’s hand, which was holding the sword, paused.

“I know, I know! Many students have heard about this matter, and they all feel that Prince Ye has gone crazy from poverty, to actually think of this method that is doomed to fail.”

“Yeah, who doesn’t know that what the sect doesn’t lack most are medicinal pills, and the highest quality items here are also medicinal pills. Does he want to seize business from the teachers?”

There were a lot of jeering laughs.

“Although I admit that he is an incredible alchemist, he is too unconventional and different. He runs to Huarong Sword Immortal every day, disturbing his peace. He also takes time off as soon as school starts to enter closed-door cultivation and doesn’t attend his classes. I feel that the reason he entered secluded cultivation is not to break through, but to make plans for the shop’s opening, right?”

In fact, in a sense, this student had guessed the truth.

“Of course, our brave and heroic Little Prince Yan will never admit this matter!”

Gu Ruyu couldn’t practice any more. He ended his sword moves and walked to these disciples. There was some coldness between his elegant eyebrows. “What are you guys leisurely chatting about during class time?”

The several sword path disciples stood up straight at once, silenced, and repeatedly said, “We’ll practice swordsmanship at once. W-we’ll go right now!”

Who was Gu Ruyu? He was personally appointed as the leader of the East Courtyard by the Dean of the East Courtyard himself.

Moreover, Gu Ruyu’s swordsmanship was outstanding, and he was very gentlemanly. He also conducted himself honestly, so only two months later, all the swordsmen in the same grade had deep respect for him.

Of course there were people more powerful than Gu Ruyu, but most of them were sword maniacs. They only knew how to practice swordsmanship every day and were too lazy to care about other people, not to mention helping or teaching them. This was probably the important reason why Gu Ruyu deserved his reputation.

After the gossiping disciples had left to practice swords, Gu Ruyu frowned. He planned to go to the business street. Gu Ning saw this and also followed over. “Dage, I’ll go with you.”

Gu Ruyu originally wanted to say, “Properly practice your swordsmanship for me. Don’t blindly join in on trivial nonsense”, but on second thought, he said, “Forget it, you’d better come with me. If I can’t resist slashing someone with my sword, remember to stop me.”

Gu Ning “….”

Dage will always be Dage.

Gu Ruyu had already discovered this when Yan Tianhen returned to the Royal Heavenly Capital 8 years ago — among the three of them, he was always the one who cleaned up after the other two.

Yan Tianhen would always do something stupid from time to time. He was reckless and willful — he would do whatever came to mind, and his actions were very fast.

Qi Feiqing didn’t even need to be mentioned. This boy belonged to the category that only feared that the world was not chaotic enough. His brain grew in rouge power every day, eagerly wishing to get drunk on good wine and pretty companions. He also had a kind of fanatic trust in Yan Tianhen. No matter what Yan Tianhen did, he was always willing to say yes, and then he would do stupid things along with Yan Tianhen.

Gu Ruyu had already given up hope for them. He felt that it was actually quite good to come to Myriad Dao Academy. Of the two, one was in the Alchemy Division, while the other was in the Dao Division in name only and thought about how to expand his territory and eventually build a business empire, so they had less time to get together and do stupid things.

However, Gu Ruyu never imagined that the silence from a few days ago was nothing more than the calm before the storm.

Gu Ruyu went to the business street clutching his sword in his hand, followed closely by Gu Ning, who stared at the sword Gu Ruyu was tightly gripping with trepidation, for fear that Gu Ruyu would not be able to control himself and would draw his sword and strike someone down.

There were quite a lot of people in the business street. After all, only new disciples had classes almost everyday. After seven years of polishing, the disciples from the previous batch now had their own cultivation locations and cultivation methods. Besides occasionally needing the teachers’ advice and guidance, they rarely appeared in the classroom anymore.

Their time was very free, and they could almost do whatever they wanted.

The location of Yan Tianhen’s booth wasn’t very good, but it wasn’t too bad either. On the left was a senior martial brother craftsman who rented a booth to sell magic treasures, and had been selling it here for quite a few days. On the right was a senior martial brother who rented out his demonic beast taming skills. It was said that his ability to domesticate demonic beasts was top-notch. There were many people standing in front of the booth where Yan Tianhen was.

It’s just that there wasn’t a single person willing to pay and buy the medicinal pills.

When Gu Ruyu arrived at the battlefield, Yan Tianhen had a radiant smile as he promoted the Jade Bones Vitalizing Skin Pill he had refined to a senior martial sister–

“This medicinal pill is quite different from the medicinal pills you usually buy in the academy’s alchemy shops. After my unique secret formula, it has been evolved and upgraded. If you take this medicinal pill continuously for a whole month, not to mention black circles under your eyes, even your pores will shrink a lot, and your skin will emit an elegant fragrance from the inside out, plus there is absolutely no side effect…”

Gu Ruyu, “…” Alright, he’s actually pretty good at this.

The elder martial sister pursed her lips and smiled. “What are the basic ingredients of this Jade Bones Vitalizing Skin Pill?”

Yan Tianhen spoke like he was counting the precious treasures in his family, “The basic ones are Moonlight Grass, White Cangling Medicine, and a variant Snow Lotus Seed. The other ingredients have been worked out by myself, but you can rest assured that they’re all absolutely good things.”

The elder martial sister smiled. “I didn’t expect you to be handsome, have such a high alchemy ability, and even be able to create your own pill formulas. Your ability is really great.”

Qi Feiqing blinked and added, “Not only is this Senior Martial Sister beautiful, but she also has such a good temper. Most importantly, her insights are unique. She must have many suitors trying to woo her, right?”

The elder martial sister smiled even more happily.

Qi Feiqing took the opportunity to sell, “The face is the most important part of a woman. It is worthwhile to spend more money on it. Our medicinal pill is personally refined by the Little Pill King. It will definitely make you feel that ‘fame follows merit’, and you’ll want to use it again after trying it.”

Someone next to him sneered, “If it doesn’t work, wouldn’t it be a waste of money?”

Yan Tianhen said, “I guarantee in the name of Prince Ye that the medicinal pills I refine will not be sold unless they are high-grade or top-grade. They will not be sold unless they can truly cure the illness!”

“Ha.” Several people around them couldn’t help applauding, saying, “Since you guarantee in the name of Prince Ye, it is somewhat credible, but I just don’t know — if something goes wrong with your medicinal pill in the future…”

Yan Tianhen was just about to pat his chest and guarantee after-sales service, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Gu Ruyu squeezing through the crowd and walking to the front, glaring at him with an extremely dark expression.

Yan Tianhen, “…”

Shoot, this is a little scary. How come Gu Ruyu came over?

Gu Ruyu walked behind the table, grabbed Yan Tianhen’s collar, and said, “Come with me.” Then he addressed Qi Feiqing, “Look after the booth here, and don’t randomly sell things.”

Qi Feiqing rushed to nod, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Yan Tianhen was pulled to a small corner where no one was next to him.

Gu Ruyu asked with a dark expression, “What are you fooling around with?”

Yan Tianhen denied, “I wasn’t, I didn’t — I just wanted to make some contribution points.”

“How many contribution points do you need?”

Yan Tianhen thought about it. “The more the better.”

Gu Ruyu took out his leaf card. “Take out your leaf card.”

“Why, do you want to give me contribution points?”

Gu Ruyu looked at him. “So as to save you from ignoring your proper duties and wasting away your reputation here every day.”
