71: Expand your business

The Cultivators from the Chang Sheng Sect Enforcement Hall and the Kang Family had not noticed their business.

This made Luo Fei completely relieved. He prepared to continue increasing the number of cooperating Cultivators and expand the scale of their business before the Outer Sect Disciples and Utility Disciples moved to Xiaoyao City.

After inquiring during this period, he had confirmed that the major factions among the Outer Sect Disciples had already divided up the territory of the outer and inner cities of Xiaoyao City in advance.

Of course, the shops and streets in Xiaoyao City were still allocated to the Foundation Establishment Elders of the Xiaoyao Sect as usual.

The small factions formed by these Outer Sect Disciples could only drink some soup.

Many of them were originally attached to Foundation Establishment families.

The reason why the Xiaoyao Sect had not yet allowed the Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples to move into Xiaoyao City was precisely because the Sect Leader of Carefree Sect had not yet allocated the territories and benefits of the Foundation Establishment Elders.

Many Foundation Establishment Elders within the Sect were originally Outer Sect Disciples and Utility Disciples before breaking through to Foundation Establishment, and they originally did not have much sense of belonging to the Sect.

Only by binding their interests could these Foundation Establishment Cultivators be made to stand on the same front as the Sect.

After having this idea and arranging all affairs, Luo Fei rushed from the Utility Disciple living area to Zhang Qingxiao's home.

"You came at just the right time. You haven't eaten yet, right?"

"Whatever the matter is, let's talk after eating."

Zhang Qingxiao opened the courtyard gate. Seeing the joy on Luo Fei's face, he knew he hadn't encountered trouble.

It just so happened that Liang Qiaoer had made medicinal meals today, so he let Luo Fei have a taste.

Luo Fei didn't stand on ceremony. After entering, he greeted Zhou Yun and Liang Qiaoer and sat down directly.

Smelling that the aroma of the dishes was somewhat unusual, he praised, "Sister-in-law, your culinary skills are getting better and better."

"This taste is even better than what those master chefs in the market make."

"This was made by Liang Qiaoer. Have a taste and see how it is," Zhang Qingxiao said with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, you are truly blessed. Not only are your wife's culinary skills good, but Fellow Daoist Liang Qiaoer is also so outstanding."

Luo Fei couldn't figure out the specific situation between Liang Qiaoer and Zhang Qingxiao, so he had to address her as Fellow Daoist.

He picked up his chopsticks and took a taste. He immediately felt a warm current in his body and instantly understood that these dishes were not simple.

He picked up other dishes and put them in his mouth, which also brought him a different feeling.

When drinking the soup at the end, although he could taste a faint medicinal fragrance, he didn't feel anything special.

He couldn't help but be curious. He turned to look at Zhang Qingxiao and asked, "Brother Zhang, what are the effects of these medicinal meals?"

In the past six months, he had earned quite a few Spirit Stones. Usually, he would go to various restaurants in the market to satisfy his cravings and go to brothels to listen to music. He had also eaten medicinal meals a few times, but the effects were completely incomparable to what he had eaten today.

"There are mainly three good types here. One is similar to the effect of the Yellow Dragon Pill, but it does not limit the Realm."

"It should be effective for the Qi Refinement Stage. One can enhance Physique; if you are practicing Body Refining, the effect will be even better."

"The last one, which is also the most special one, can reduce a Cultivator's drug resistance to Medicinal Pills."

"Reduce a Cultivator's drug resistance to Medicinal Pills?"

"Brother Zhang, this is a good thing..."

Luo Fei's eyes suddenly lit up. With these three medicinal meals, he could completely open a restaurant. The business would definitely be very popular.

Among the Outer Sect Disciples and Utility Disciples, most of the Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators took a large amount of Medicinal Pills to Breakthrough. Their drug resistance to Medicinal Pills in their bodies was also getting higher and higher. Many Cultivators remained stuck at the Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level or Cultivation Level 8, which was precisely because of this reason. If they knew that there was such a medicinal meal that could reduce drug resistance, they would definitely go crazy.

"It is indeed a good thing, but the price is a bit high."

"Do you know how many Spirit Stones the medicinal herbs in this pot of soup require?"

Zhang Qingxiao saw through Luo Fei's thoughts at a glance and asked with a smile.

"How many Spirit Stones?"

Luo Fei had truly ignored this question. After all, he was now wealthy. Except for the last two months where he earned less due to the investigation by the Enforcement Hall and the Kang Family, he had an income of two to three hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones every month for a while. Even if he went to listen to music at the brothel every day, he couldn't spend it all every month.

"This pot of soup used two portions of medicinal herbs, requiring a total of more than forty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."

Originally, Zhang Qingxiao and the others only needed one portion of medicinal herbs. Recently, they found that one portion for three people had slightly weaker medicinal effects. Recently, they changed it to two portions of medicinal herbs to boil a pot of soup, and the effect immediately improved.

"More than forty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones?"

"Brother Zhang, did you say it wrong?"

"It should be more than forty Low-Grade Spirit Stones, right..."

Luo Fei looked at Zhang Qingxiao in disbelief, wanting to confirm if he had misheard. This price exceeded his expectations too much; he had never thought that a portion of medicinal meal would require forty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. If he remembered correctly, even Medicinal Pills that could increase the cultivation speed of Foundation Establishment Cultivators did not require so many Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

"It is indeed more than forty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."

"I know your thoughts."

"We do not have the strength to do this business for the time being."

"As long as we do our current business well and do not get noticed by families with Foundation Establishment Cultivators, that is enough."

Zhang Qingxiao was very clear about how high the value of a medicinal meal recipe that could reduce a Cultivator's drug resistance was. Given their current situation, it was definitely not suitable to do this business. Telling Luo Fei this price was also to make him temporarily dismiss this idea. To do this business, he would at least have to wait until he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"We are indeed not suitable for this business right now."

"Brother Zhang, I came here this time because I want to continue to expand our business."

"I wonder if you think there is anything inappropriate?"

Luo Fei quickly understood the key to it. Two portions of medicinal herbs for more than forty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, although the price was a bit high, it was not completely unacceptable to those Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators who wanted to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. There were many Outer Sect Disciples and Utility Disciples who could earn hundreds of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones a month. Moreover, this kind of medicinal meal that could reduce a Cultivator's drug resistance was very useful to Inner Sect Disciples and even Core Disciples. These Inner Sect Disciples or Core Disciples had powerful Magical Artifacts and profound techniques. Whether they went out to hunt Yao Beasts or accepted Sect missions, the Spirit Stones and contributions they obtained were much more than those of Outer Sect Disciples and Utility Disciples; they were not short of these few Spirit Stones at all.

However, without strength and status, if they sold the medicinal meal at too high a price, it would arouse the dissatisfaction of these people. They could think of any trick to make them obediently hand over the medicinal meal recipe.
