Chapter One Hundred Ninety
After being elected as the village chief, Long Xiaoshan became even more devoted to development.
Apart from reserving the necessary Spiritual Liquid for cultivating medicinal herbs, he used the rest to transform the newly reclaimed land into Spiritual Fields.
If the village's land, including the mountainous areas, were counted together, there were tens of thousands of acres.
Although a considerable amount of Spiritual Liquid had accumulated over the days, such consumption was enormous. Long Xiaoshan did not transform all of it into Spiritual Fields, but about three thousand acres were transformed, and all were planted with vegetables and fruits.
In addition to transforming Spiritual Fields, he also planned a livestock farm.
He intended to raise chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep.
Busy during the day and cultivating at night.
Time flew by.
A week later, the Spiritual Medicine had fully grown.
Long Xiaoshan stood in the medicine room. In the room's seven pots grew seven medicinal plants, each older than a hundred years, lush with branches and leaves, and in extremely perfect condition.
The entire room was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance. Standing inside and taking a deep breath felt like all illnesses would vanish.
Long Xiaoshan looked at the seven plants of Hundred-Year-Old Medicine.
His face was filled with excitement.
They say Hundred-Year-Old Medicine is rare; Bai Susu expended all her efforts, nearly selling off all of Bai's Medicinal Materials without being able to obtain one plant of Hundred-Year-Old Medicine.
Such medicinal materials were of unimaginable value.
Yet, he had cultivated seven in just a week.
If word got out, it was unknown what kind of storm it would cause.
The preciousness of the Jade Purifying Bottle was unimaginable.
Moreover, the Hundred-Year-Old Medicine was not the limit. If he continued to cultivate with Spiritual Liquid, their age could increase, perhaps even cultivating the legendary Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicine.
However, cultivating Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicines would definitely take a long time, and consume a vast amount of Spiritual Liquid.
With his current level of cultivation, Long Xiaoshan didn't need such high-grade medicinal materials.
Therefore, he decided to first refine a batch of Lesser Qi Nurturing Pills using Hundred-Year-Old Medicine.
After some thought, he plucked the Polygonum multiflorum plant.
Ginseng had the best medicinal properties.
However, since he had promised to help Bai Susu find Hundred-Year-Old Medicine to prolong her father's life, and he had said he would save the ginseng with the best medicinal properties, moreover, Polygonum multiflorum was sufficient. He felt that the Hundred-Year-Old Medicines he cultivated with Spiritual Liquid
Had much more abundant medicinal properties than ordinary Hundred-Year-Old Medicines.
Having taken the Hundred-Year Polygonum multiflorum.
Long Xiaoshan began preparing to refine the Lesser Qi Nurturing Pills.
He had already prepared the other ingredients, but he still lacked a Pill Furnace. Previously, he used a large pot as a substitute to prepare pills, but this time, since he was refining Lesser Qi Nurturing Pills, which were Spirit Pills, he felt it would be better to use a real Pill Furnace.
The only issue was that he had no idea where to obtain such a thing now.
As he pondered this,
His phone suddenly rang.
Long Xiaoshan picked it up.
When he saw it was Wang Sihai's number, he answered.
"Brother Long," Wang Sihai immediately called out upon the call connecting.
"Wang Sihai, what is it?" Long Xiaoshan asked.
"Oh, it's about Miss Xu's advanced studies," Wang Sihai said, "Brother Long, it's all arranged. I've secured a place for Miss Xu to pursue further studies at Hechuan Business College, and she can register at any time."
```
Long Xiaoshan nodded and said, "You've done well."
"It's only right, only right," Wang Sihai said. "So, Brother Long, when will Miss Xu come over? I'll arrange for someone to take her."
"No rush."
Long Xiaoshan thought of a question and asked, "Do you know where I can find a Pill Furnace?"
"Pill Furnace?" Wang Sihai was puzzled. "What's that?"
"It's for alchemy, like something a Taoist would use in ancient times."
"That... They aren't produced anymore, right? Maybe there are some in the antique market. I'll have someone look into it for you," Wang Sihai said.
Antique market?
Long Xiaoshan silently nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll take Chun Tao to register at the college tomorrow, and then you can have someone take me to the antique market to have a look."
"Sure thing, Brother Long," Wang Sihai readily agreed.
"Okay, I'm hanging up now."
"Wait, Brother Long. I... I still have something to report to you," Wang Sihai hurriedly said.
"Oh, what is it?" Long Xiaoshan asked slowly.
"It's like this, a master has come to the Weifeng Martial Arts School, seems to be invited by Wei Zhentian. You had a conflict with Wei Zhentian last time, didn't you? I thought I should tell you about this."
"A master invited by Wei Zhentian?"
Long Xiaoshan frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Alright, I got it." Stay connected through empire
After speaking, he hung up the call.
Minghao Clubhouse.
"Hello? Brother Long."
Wang Sihai, hearing the busy tone on the phone, reluctantly put it down.
A trace of worry showed on his face. At that moment, in the room, four people sat while more than ten others stood. Each of these people carried an extraordinary aura; at a glance, it was evident they were accustomed to high positions.
Together, these men could turn Hechuan City upside down.
But now, the faces of these tycoons, who dominated the city, were heavy with concern as they puffed on cigarettes, the floor littered with cigarette butts.
Hearing Wang Sihai put down the phone, a middle-aged man resembling a schoolteacher with glasses said, "Brother Wang, what did he say?"
Wang Sihai forced a smile and said, "Elder Brother Zhou, he hung up before I could finish."
"Hmph, Wang Sihai, how capable can a twenty-year-old youth be?" A lean and dark middle-aged man sitting on the other side scoffed. "I've already contacted Wang Chao, the King of Underground Fist from Zhonghai. He can be here tonight. Once he arrives, we can kill Yu Cheng in one fell swoop."
"Not bad. I've also contacted Master Zhong of Mangdu's Ghost Gate, it cost me fifty million, but he has agreed to take action. We've agreed in advance that if Master Zhong can kill Yu Cheng, both Bei Sheng and Nanwan regions will belong to me," a man with a cigar and long hair said slowly.
"You don't understand. The power of Brother Long is beyond your imagination. He is divine. If he takes action, what is Yu Cheng?" Wang Sihai rebutted.
"Even the divine has come into play. Tell me, Old Wang, since when have you, Wang Yanwang, become so cowardly?"
"Enough, stop arguing."
The schoolteacher-like Zhou Yushan spoke up. In Hechuan City, Zhou Yushan commanded the greatest power, with numerous industries under his belt and assets worth billions, making him the wealthiest man in Hechuan City.
As he spoke, everyone else quieted down and looked at him. Zhou Yushan said gravely, "This time Yu Cheng comes with ill intent, having already swept through all our underground boxing champions. I fear his goal is not simply to win the bet but to swallow the entire business world of Hechuan City. Now, with Guo Long, Wei Xu, and others switching allegiance to the Weifeng Group, whoever can stand against Yu Cheng for us will gain supreme respect in the business circles of Hechuan City afterward."
The crowd listened.
Their eyes all lit up.
While Yu Cheng was powerful, having swept through their underground boxing champions,
if someone could secure the position of the Dragon Head of Hechuan City Chamber of Commerce, any price paid would be worth it.
In this world, there's hardly anything money can't do. With enough money spent, there will always be masters to be found.
