UGB Chapter 2 The Young Master Has Gone Mad
Chapter 2 The Young Master Has Gone Mad
Huoyang Island, where Qingyang Gate is located, is not far from Kuixing Island.
It is also a major faction located near Kui Xing Island.
According to the rules, the young master of Qingyang Sect cannot travel alone; he must be accompanied by manpower and a flying float.
Two teams of guards, all at least at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, stood on either side of the float, riding on flying swords. There were twenty of them in total.
The float is a top-tier flying magical artifact—the Clear Moon Carriage.
The cart was pulled by a level-three demonic beast called "Blazing Bird".
The driver was Elder Liu of the Qingyang Sect, who was at the early stage of Core Formation cultivation.
"I'm sorry to trouble Elder Liu with this trip."
Qingfeng lay back in the car and spoke to Elder Liu, who was driving.
"Young Master, what are you saying? This old servant is a servant of your Qing family, I wouldn't dare."
If it weren't for Master Sanyang saving me back then, I probably would have been captured by evil demons and used to make medicine.
It's my duty to drive you.
Elder Liu broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Qingfeng being so polite to him.
What's wrong with this spoiled brat today?
What kind of show is this?
"Elder Liu, how's our pill business with the Six-Linked Palace going?"
Qingfeng asked.
"The pill business? Young Master, are you referring to those pill shops on Kui Xing Island, in Tian Du Street Market?"
Elder Liu tentatively asked.
Why is the young master concerned about Qingyang Sect's business today?
Could it be that the young master has changed his ways? Is he planning to manage the sect's assets?
"Yes, I'm running out of spirit stones lately."
"Let's go to Kuixing Island this time and collect all the profits from those shops."
As Qingfeng spoke, he checked the amount of spirit stones he had left.
There are still 7500 spirit stones left. I should have asked my father for more.
Upon hearing that Qingfeng was going to collect money, Elder Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It seems the young master is still the same young master. How could a playboy take the initiative to manage the sect's assets?
I was overthinking it.
"Young Master, it's not time to collect debts yet this year, so the shop may not have many spirit stones left."
Elder Liu tentatively offered his advice.
"It's fine, just take as much as you can."
Elder Liu, do you know any quick ways to earn spirit stones?
Qingfeng reached out, took a grape, and popped it into his mouth. He looked at the purple grape, lost in thought.
"Well, this old servant is dull-witted and really doesn't know any way to quickly earn spirit stones."
Elder Liu couldn't quite grasp the thoughts of his own spoiled brat.
"Elder Liu, I believe that the fastest way to earn spirit stones is through business with no initial investment."
How about we kill and rob them? What do you think? Let's find some easy targets, slaughter them, and take the spirit stones!
Qingfeng sat up straight, a smile playing on his lips, and looked at Elder Liu, who was driving the carriage.
"Ah?! This, this won't do, young master, please think it over."
Our Qingyang Sect does not belong to the forces of the demonic path, the righteous path, or the Star Palace.
If we incur the wrath of the masses, even the sect leader himself will find it difficult to explain.
Elder Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly tried to dissuade this living ancestor.
If the reputation of murder and robbery were to spread, the Qingyang Sect's reputation in this sea area would be completely ruined.
When Master Sanyang emerges from seclusion, he will naturally not kill the instigator's own son.
But those who are subordinates now, even if they don't die, will be skinned alive.
"Alright, let's get back to business then."
Qingfeng smacked his lips, put a grape in his mouth, and looked at his system panel while eating.
"I have now mastered the basic techniques of the Qingyang Swordplay to a very high level."
The sword strike I unleashed using a small amount of my magic was equivalent to the full power of any other disciple in the sect.
There's not much point in further developing this technique; its potential has reached its limit.
Qingfeng turned his gaze to "True Transmission: Qingyang Thunderfire Technique".
"My father passed down this cultivation technique to me, which leads directly to the mid-Nascent Soul stage. It can be said to be my father's life's work."
3000 spirit stones, which isn't too expensive considering a year's worth of skill points.
Qingfeng recalled that he had been practicing his family's authentic martial arts technique since the Qi Refining stage.
From the Qi Refining stage to the Nascent Soul stage, each realm of the "Azure Sun Thunderfire Technique" is divided into three levels.
He is currently in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and is practicing the second level of the Foundation Establishment technique.
"I have a fire-attribute celestial spiritual root, and I'm only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage at the age of 20... I'm really quite useless."
Qingfeng shook his head. He used to be a spoiled brat who didn't strive for anything.
He has a father who is a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the same era as Manhuzi.
Despite having the best resources from Qingyang Sect, he only reached the Qi Refining stage at fifteen and the Foundation Establishment stage at twenty.
"No, I have to try harder."
Thinking about his father's lifespan, which was about the same as that of the bearded man.
If his father were to pass away before he reached the Nascent Soul stage, wouldn't he be rendered useless?
"System, activate the function to accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs and plants."
With a thought, a new function appeared on the panel in front of Qingfeng.
[Accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs and plants]
(? + ? = ?)
Note: (Rarity of the herb + Quantity + Selected ripening year) = Spirit Stone consumption
Upon seeing the annotation, Qingfeng took out a packet of Dragon's Roar Grass seeds from his storage bag.
In the Chaotic Star Sea, most alchemy recipes use demon cores instead of spiritual herbs and plants, so high-quality spiritual herbs are extremely rare.
"In my storage bag, there are more than a dozen bottles of pills for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators."
And the seeds of the spirit herb were only in this one packet…
Qingfeng felt a little emotional, as he had always had readily available pills since he began cultivating.
As the young master of Qingyang Sect, he believed that matters such as alchemy were to be handled by members of the sect, so he did not possess any spiritual herbs.
Dragon's Roar Grass is the main ingredient for refining Spirit Gathering Pills, which quickly replenish and enhance the spiritual power of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
"System, select one Dragon's Roar Grass seed and accelerate its growth to the thousand-year level."
[Spirit Herb Acceleration: Dragon's Roar Grass + 1 + 1000 years = 500 Spirit Stones. Recharge Spirit Stones?]
"Five hundred spirit stones?"
Qingfeng was taken aback. In his memory, ordinary thousand-year-old spiritual herbs (such as purple Ganoderma and yellow Ganoderma) were priced at around 800-2000 low-grade spirit stones.
In Huangfeng Valley Market, a single thousand-year-old purple Ganoderma lucidum costs approximately 800 spirit stones.
At the Tianxing Sect auction, a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum sold for over 2000 spirit stones.
"There's definitely money to be made!"
Qingfeng calculated the price and realized that he could make a considerable profit after deducting the cost price.
"I never thought I'd be able to take advantage of the system's features!"
After checking his remaining spirit stones, Qingfeng didn't rush to deduce his cultivation technique.
Instead, he used all 7500 spirit stones to accelerate the growth of the Dragon Roar Grass to the thousand-year level.
"15 thousand-year-old Dragon Roar Grasses, if auctioned slowly, can be conservatively sold for 1000 spirit stones each."
This doubles the cost of 7500 spirit stones.
The Chaotic Star Sea is a place with scarce spiritual plant resources but abundant demon cores.
If we can establish a trading channel between the Chaotic Star Sea and Tiannan, we can then monopolize it.
They traded demon beast resources for spirit herbs, then accelerated the growth of the spirit herbs before selling them. The price difference between those trades...
Thinking of this, Qingfeng's eyes lit up.
"Interest compoundes, interest compoundes! As long as you earn more money, you can improve your cultivation and increase your strength."
Once we become stronger, we can seize more resources!
Hahaha...!
Qingfeng covered his face with one hand and slammed his fist on the table in the carriage with the other, laughing maniacally.
At this moment, Elder Liu, who was driving outside, unconsciously shrank his neck.
He had no idea what kind of madness his young master was about to unleash this time.
But I still had to bite the bullet and turn around with a forced smile.
"Young Master, we're almost at Kui Xing Island."
