Chapter 325: Chapter 9 I do not recommend [asking for monthly tickets!]_1

When Chu Liang returned to Silver Sword Peak, he suddenly felt as if he had crossed into another world.

It was not as if his task had been particularly arduous, but rather that for the past decades, Silver Sword Peak had possibly been deserted. Yet, at this moment, Silver Sword Peak was crowded with visitors, with hustle and bustle that could reverberate throughout Shu Mountain.

The other thirty-five peaks of Shu Mountain were envious of the bustling Silver Sword Peak, with many casting longing glances yearningly.

These weren’t just people, they were Sword Coins!

Shiny Sword Coins streamed into Silver Sword Peak, and even if the allowance issued by the sect was increased by thirty percent, it was still negligible compared to the income Silver Sword Peak was earning.

The Berry Playground that Chu Liang had created was a novelty in the Immortal Cultivation World, making it famous near and far due to the promotional efforts.

However, simply being a berry-picking garden without much practical value should not have attracted so much attention.

In Chu Liang’s estimation, the curious crowds would probably only last for about ten days to half a month. After that, business should gradually stabilize, with maintaining a normal profit being fine. Even if it couldn’t turn a profit, shutting down the fruit garden was also within the plan.

But now, after some time, the business of the Berry Playground was actually growing instead of declining!

This was beyond Chu Liang’s expectations.

It wasn’t until he saw that letter from Tianshu Pavilion delivered to his door that he understood why this was happening.

The letter was sent yesterday by Zhang Xiaohan, who sincerely thanked Chu Liang.

Because Chu Liang’s "History of Berry" was popular! The first half of the story about the romance between humans and demons successfully aroused the interest of the readers of the newspaper. Wanting to read the second half of the story is human nature, so a large number of newspaper readers wrote letters urging Tianshu Pavilion to release the later parts earlier.

Waiting for a month was too agonizing.

Seeing this situation, the senior executives of Tianshu Pavilion temporarily decided to issue a special semi-monthly edition for Zhang Xiaohan, specifically for the publication of the second half of "History of Berry".

This was unprecedented in Tianshu Pavilion!

After the second half was released, the "History of Berry" spread from mouth to mouth, and for a while, it was extremely popular.

And riding this wave of "History of Berry", not only the people in the Immortal Cultivation World wanted to visit Silver Sword Peak to see the strange species left by the "fruit thief" incident back then, but also many mortals had infinite longing for Silver Sword Peak of Shu Mountain.

After pondering for a bit, Chu Liang realized that the story of "White Snake" became popular in Nine States for a deeper reason.

Because in this world, there really are humans and monsters, not just the ones in legends, so the story felt more relatable to the people of this world.

While walking down the road, a beautiful snake spirit suddenly pops up, insists on marrying you, helps you in business, gives birth to a scholar son for you, and even if she is suppressed under the tower for decades, she never leave nor forsake... Thinking about it is quite cool.

It seems that the cultural core of the goods is indeed the key to prolonging their vitality!

Chu Liang thought about it and began to write a reply to Zhang Xiaohan.

"Miss Xiaohan, please don’t thank me. Thanks to Tianshu Pavilion’s promotion, the Gold Pattern Berries of my Silver Sword Peak have gained greater recognition. In this regard, I should be the one thanking you."

"Actually, the story associated with the Gold Pattern Berry has a lot more to it."

"Do you know that in the far East, there was once a mighty divine dynasty! In that divine dynasty, there was a commoner who one day discovered a new species in his fruit garden, our Gold Pattern Berry. When he split the Gold Pattern Berry open, there was actually a crying fat baby inside!"

"Since this family’s surname was Meng, and the baby was born from a berry, they named their child..."

"Meng Jiangnu."

...

After sending the letter to Zhang Xiaohan, Chu Liang shut the door and prepared to enter a joyful self-rewarding time again.

On this trip to the dilapidated garden of the Shen family, he had killed more than ten Resentful Spirits, which was quite rewarding. That is to say, today he could reward himself dozens of times.

Dozens of joy.

With a joyful heart, he entered the White Pagoda space.

The outside Berry Playground was prospering, and the Big Head Baby inside was also thriving in a cloud of smoke, both inside and outside were prosperous to the utmost, looking at it made one feel comfortable.

Chu Liang thought, when he had the time, he needed to go to Nanyin Square again and ask Miss Xue to help his Golden Core Puppet upgrade to the Perfect Cycle. This way, with two Perfect Cycles and two top-grade Golden Cores, his cultivation speed would take off directly.

In fact, at this stage, ordinary geniuses were already incomparable to Chu Liang. Even if there was a talent gap at birth, the two top-grade Golden Cores were enough to completely bridge and even surpass the gap.

But who would think they are cultivating too fast?

The only downside is that Liu Xiaoyu is currently busy being a mascot in the garden and it wouldn’t be convenient to ask her for help now. Looking at the more than ten cages with Resentful Spirit marks on them, Chu Liang, like a stingy landlord inspecting his property, smiled for a long time before he set about refining them.

Boom—

There was a flash of light.

A long, white light floated out.

[Resentment Chain]: Can silently link two living beings, making them generate strong resentment towards each other, lasting for a quarter hour. However, the two parties must be within two feet of each other, and it is ineffective against those who are more than one realm higher than oneself and ineffective against those in the Seventh Realm.

Huh?

Upon seeing this item, Chu Liang immediately thought of his other two divine skills: the Remove Evil Curse and the Miracle Hand.

Both of them are quite mysterious techniques.

After gaining some understanding of the Great Dao, Chu Liang knew that the Remove Evil Curse is a derivative of the "Seven Emotions" Dao, the Miracle Hand is a derivative of the "Qiankun" Dao, both are the details of the Great Dao.

Therefore, these magical methods are ineffective to those who have reached the Wen Dao realm. When in the Seventh Realm, one can use the Daos they control at will, performing these mysterious techniques. There is also a certain barrier immunity to techniques from other Daos, and one does not need to fear them any longer.

This Resentment Chain seems to be in the category of the "Seven Emotions" Dao.

When the second seal was broken, what came out was also a Resentment Chain, appearing to be a gloomy item created by the Wish Spirit. According to White Pagoda’s judgment, their attributes are all the same.

However, if used well, these special tools may have magical effects. It’s not too much to have more of them.

After rewarding himself, Chu Liang, refreshed and invigorated, prepared to go out and check the Berry Playground. His sect has been watching over this business recently, with Liu Xiaoyu, Lin Bei, and Shang Ziliang working inside and outside. The Golden Fur Beast and Baize are maintaining order, and Chu Liang himself hasn’t had the chance to visit much.

He’s really been too busy.

Upon stepping out of the door, Chu Liang ran into Senior Sister Chen Su.

"Where are you heading off to this time, Junior Brother Chu?" Chen Su asked him directly.

Chu Liang answered truthfully: "I’m heading to the berry garden."

"If there’s no urgent matter, come to the Pill Furnace Hall first. The Pill Furnace Elder heard that you had returned from your task and immediately asked me to inform you." Chen Su said with a smile.

"Ah." Chu Liang slapped his forehead.

He had totally forgotten about this.

He had initially promised the Pill Furnace Elder that after the Shu Mountain Peak Conference, he would visit the Pill Furnace Hall at least once every seven days to learn alchemy. Yesterday was supposed to be the next seven-day deadline, but he was delayed because he was on a mission outside.

"Alright, then I’ll head there right away!" Chu Liang agreed.

Since he was going to learn alchemy, he needed to learn it well, and couldn’t adopt an on-and-off approach.

However, after the Peak Conference, the basics of alchemy that the Pill Furnace Elder taught him have all been the fundamental theories of alchemy, and he hasn’t had any practical experience yet, which is somewhat boring.

But Chu Liang was clear that theory is like the foundation, and practice is the upper structure. The more solid the foundation, the higher the structure can be built. So he took his study of these basic theories very seriously, making full use of his initiative.

Upon arriving at the Pill Furnace Hall, he saw that the Hall was unusually empty this time, with no one coming in or out. It seemed that all the disciples were refining elixirs in their quiet rooms.

The Pill Furnace Elder, who saw Chu Liang, looked affable and serene.

Back when this youngster was Empress Feng’s disciple, he had made people grit their teeth in hatred; but when this genius became his own nominal disciple, it made people unable to stop smiling.

That is indeed an accurate reflection of the Pill Furnace Elder’s state of mind.

"Yesterday, I was delayed in my practice because I was out, I hope Elder will not blame me." Chu Liang apologized.

"No problem. The first task after the Shu Mountain Peak Conference is quite important. I heard that you did very well, not only killing the evil spirit as planned, but also retrieving a drop of Witch God Essence Blood." The Pill Furnace Elder praised, "Every time, you can bring people a surprise."

"It is the collective effort of all the disciples. I am just a small part of it." Chu Liang said modestly.

Actually, this was the truth.

In the battle at Shen family’s ruined garden, though Chu Liang had released the Golden Butterfly Baby, and had done critical damage to the Treasure Vase.

Senior Sister Jiang, as chief, had contributed greatly by calmly commanding the overall situation in the face of danger; needless to say, Senior Brother Xu had been like a god descending to save everyone from disaster, he had also contributed; Ling Ao had carried Chen Luo steadily and comfortably, he had also contributed...

So, it was a collaborative effort.

The Pill Furnace Elder looked at the modest Chu Liang, feeling even more fond of him, smiling, and said: "Get ready. Today, I will teach you how to refine an elixir."

"Are we finally going to start refining?" Chu Liang revealed a smile.

"Yes, actually you’ve long been ready to start refining. I just wanted to lay a good foundation for you." The Pill Furnace Elder said: "Today, I will teach you a very basic elixir. Since you’re able to refine the high-grade Green Pill, you should have no problem refining this one."

"What kind of pill is it?" Chu Liang asked.

"It is the Spirit Gathering Pill." The Pill Furnace Elder said with a smile: "You haven’t refined it before have you?"

"Ah..." Chu Liang paused for a moment, "Indeed, I have never refined it before, but why this one?"

"First of all, it’s very fundamental and it’s suitable for you to practice." The Pill Furnace Elder said, "Secondly, recently the price of Spirit Gathering Pills has soared in Taotie City. I have ordered all the Pill Furnace Hall disciples to urgently start refining Spirit Gathering Pills. The more we refine, the more we can earn in Taotie City."

"Umm, about this..." Chu Liang scratched his head and said, "I can learn to refine Spirit Gathering Pills, but if we’re considering mass production... I wouldn’t suggest it."

"What do you mean?" The Pill Furnace Elder was baffled.

"What I mean is..." Chu Liang carefully worded his reply, "What if the price of Spirit Gathering Pills in Taotie City suddenly drops? The world of martial arts is full of uncertainties..."
