The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Why are you helping me?” Yang Tiancai asked in confusion.

“Just consider it a good deed. In any case, it’s definitely not for your inferior elixirs,” Xiao Shun said with a smile.

The reason he was helping Yang Tiancai was because he currently needed an eloquent and shameless assistant like him.

His New School Society originally needed to recruit talents, and Yang Tiancai was somewhat skilled.

If he had always been passive before, in dealing with the Old School Society he wanted to be more proactive.

“I really have nothing to gain.” Yang Tiancai said with an embarrassed smile.

After leaving the alley, they got in a taxi and arrived at Yang Tiancai’s residence in about a few minutes.

It was an old residential area without an elevator. He lived on the top floor of the six-story building. As Xiao Shun supported him up to his home, he smelled a strong scent of medicinal herbs.

Yang Tiancai shakily opened the door to reveal a small two-bedroom apartment.

It looked like he was living alone, quite messy.

Xiao Shun helped him sit down on the sofa, directly facing a bedroom with the door open. At a glance, he saw a furnace inside with some medicinal herbs next to it.

He was probably an amateur trying to figure out some formulas on his own.

But how difficult it was without guidance. Without pointers, it would probably take decades before he figured anything out. Not only the decades of time wasted, but also the countless medicinal herbs consumed over the years would be a huge burden for a lone cultivator.

No wonder he had to go around peddling his inferior elixirs everywhere. It was already not easy for him to be able to produce those inferior elixirs, so he probably had some aptitude and talent.

“The elixirs you sell are all refined by yourself?” Xiao Shun asked curiously.

“Yes,” Yang Tiancai admitted somewhat awkwardly.

“The one I sold you was the most successful batch I’ve refined so far. I’m ashamed, big brother.”

Xiao Shun didn’t settle scores with him and even sent him back, so he was still full of gratitude.

Xiao Shun took out an exquisite glass bottle from his pocket, poured out a cyan elixir and handed it to him: “Take this, it can help heal your internal injuries.”

Yang Tiancai’s eyes lit up, extremely excited.

“This… this is an energy pellet?”

“You recognize it?” Xiao Shun was a little surprised that this amateur Yang Tiancai actually recognized the energy pellet.

These energy pellets were refined in his spare time just a few days ago when he was still in Stillwater. He had never thought before that he would suffer such heavy internal injuries, so he refined some for emergency needs.

“This is a top-tier elixir! How could I not recognize it? I dream of being able to refine it myself one day. Before each Hero Cup, the Old School Society holds an elixir auction where a single energy pellet goes for over a million! This… is too valuable, I really can’t accept it.”

Yang Tiancai’s eyes shone brightly. Even if he added up all his current net worth, he still couldn’t afford this one energy pellet.

Xiao Shun was speechless.

Over a million… the Old School Society really was black-hearted. Although energy pellets required a tiny bit of centennial wild ginseng and some other herbs, the profit was still astonishing.

This was the huge benefit brought by monopoly. With the formula controlled by the Old School Society, it was useless even if others could get centennial wild ginseng.

Millennial wild ginseng was extremely rare. With the Old School Society’s capabilities, getting centennial ginseng was probably not too difficult.

They might not even use real wild ginseng, just greatly reduced efficacy that ordinary cultivators couldn’t discern. Since only the Old School Society could refine it, they controlled the narrative.

The energy pellets Xiao Shun had contained millennial wild ginseng given to him by Wang Ye, needing just a tiny bit to greatly increase efficacy.

So he didn’t feel heartache taking it out for Yang Tiancai.

“Alright, since you won’t accept it, forget it then.” Xiao Shun said as he moved to put away the energy pellet.

“Don’t… it’s rare for little brother to show such kindness. I can’t reject it, right?” Yang Tiancai said with an embarrassed smile.

Xiao Shun rolled his eyes and handed the energy pellet to him.

Yang Tiancai held the energy pellet in his palm like a precious treasure.

He was not excited because this energy pellet could heal his injuries, but because he could finally know what an energy pellet smelled like, looked like up close, and felt like when ingested.

This way, he would know in the future if he had succeeded in refining it.

Wanting to become an alchemy master was not simple at all. Without a famous teacher’s guidance and massive financial support, it was virtually impossible.

“Little brother, you bought this energy pellet from the Old School Society right? How much? Yang will find a way to pay you back as soon as possible.” Yang Tiancai asked uneasily.

Over a million, with his current income speed, repaying would probably take until the year of the monkey. But he still had to bring it up.

“No need, I refined it myself,” Xiao Shun said with a smile.

Yang Tiancai was stunned for a moment. He naturally didn’t believe it. Xiao Shun was too young, and only the Old School Society could refine energy pellets.

“Little brother, you’re joking with me again, right?”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Xiao Shun let him take a look at the glass bottle, which contained seven or eight energy pellets. “Do you think I would need to buy this many energy pellets at once?”

“You really know how to refine energy pellets?” Yang Tiancai still had a look of disbelief as he asked.

“Do you know when the Old School Society’s auction is?” Xiao Shun didn’t need to continue proving to him that the energy pellet was self-refined, but directly asked instead.

“This weekend, four more days.” Yang Tiancai replied.

“Oh, I should get going then. Rest well.” Xiao Shun murmured thoughtfully then said.

Yang Tiancai opened his mouth, still wanting to ask something, but Xiao Shun had already walked straight to the door and left.

“Thank you, little brother!” He could only shout out the door.

After leaving Yang Tiancai’s residence, Xiao Shun made a call to Song Linger and Duan Jia, telling them to prepare to come to Harrow for support at any time.

The next morning, Xiao Shun took Yao Cen and Zhu Que to Lakeview Ranch.

Yao Cen was indeed satisfied with the house, and it did pain her heart.

300 million. In the past she wouldn’t have dared imagine it, although she still had over 2 billion in her card. She still felt it was too extravagant to spend like this.

“Looks like I really can’t let you keep money in your card, huh.” Yao Cen said wistfully.

“Don’t worry darling, I’ll be able to earn more money soon.” Xiao Shun said unconcernedly with a foolish grin.

Yao Cen didn’t doubt this at all. So even confiscating his current bank card was useless. He could get a new one anytime, and unknowingly his pocket money would be in the billions again…

After seeing the house, Yao Cen and Zhu Que went to handle the branch company affairs, while Xiao Shun went to buy some daily necessities.
