In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Ways to Make Money

If he really wanted to compare himself to the top martial artists of his age, Shen Xing had actually fallen behind a lot in the past month.

He could only say that Hu An had indeed given him a surprise this time.

“Actually, you didn’t have to stand up for me.” Hu An said with some frustration, “I’m also at the late stage of Skin Tempering now. As long as I stick to the competition rules, I’m confident I could have gotten this gravity device.”

“I know, but you’ve already helped me a lot by getting me this opportunity. I can’t let you shoulder everything.” Shen Xing changed the subject and then looked at him in surprise, “But, you’re already at the late stage of Skin Tempering? Wow, you only entered the Skin Tempering stage half a month ago.”

“Well, you know… it’s just…” Hu An’s sunny, handsome face showed a bit of embarrassment, “A Jiao helped me a lot.”

“That’s still very impressive.” Shen Xing smacked his lips, “That young miss is truly in love with you. It seems that she shouldn’t be apologizing to me, I should be apologizing to her.”

“Don’t say that.” Hu An suddenly became serious, looking at Shen Xing earnestly, “You are my best friend, and A Jiao is also very important to me. She was indeed in the wrong before. Ah Xing, don’t take it to heart.”

“I know, I know. I told you before, I don’t mind. Besides, the way I was before, let alone Gu Jiao, even I wouldn’t think much of myself now.” Shen Xing waved his hand, looking genuinely unconcerned.

It wasn’t a big deal in the first place.

Before awakening his past life memories, his predecessor’s martial will and training performance were indeed lacking. That Gu Jiao had only said a few words.

After awakening his past life memories, Shen Xing naturally wouldn’t care. It was just that Hu An had always felt guilty.

“Your changes are indeed too great.” Hu An also sighed at this moment, “When I saw you stand up and throw that punch just now, I even suspected that you had become a different person.”

As a close friend who grew up with him, Shen Xing’s current changes were indeed too great in his eyes.

However, Shen Xing just shook his head: “I just suddenly understood some things. People always grow. Compared to when you were a child, you’ve also changed a lot.”

He was reincarnated, not possessed. His predecessor was also him, with his emotions and memories existing together, so there was nothing wrong with saying that.

“…Indeed.” Hu An was silent for a moment, then smiled, “We’ve all grown up.”

“Yeah.” Shen Xing said with a chuckle, “Who would have thought that you, a snot-nosed kid who would blush when talking to girls, has now learned to rely on a rich woman.”

“Don’t tease me. A Jiao is also under a lot of pressure. The competition in Bailing Academy is even more intense than ours. Compared to her helping me, I hope to help her more.” Hu An shook his head helplessly, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, turning to look at Shen Xing, “That Tan Fei Hong only reached the late stage of Skin Tempering last weekend. He still has a lot of room for improvement before reaching the Muscle Tempering stage, and he has a wealthy family background and trains very hard. About that bet of yours, I still have some Yuan Qi pills here…”

“No, no need.” Shen Xing interrupted Hu An with a smile, “As the old saying goes, help those in urgent need, not those who are poor. I urgently need the gravity device, so I won’t be polite with you about that. But I don’t need the Yuan Qi pills. Besides, I’m not poor now.”

Hu An looked a little puzzled.

But Shen Xing didn’t explain further.

He did want to provide Hu An with some pills, but the problem was that he couldn’t be completely sure whether the materials used in those otherworldly pills could also be found in the Federation.

Therefore, Shen Xing couldn’t casually give them out.

If someone discovered that they contained ingredients that couldn’t be found anywhere in the entire Human Federation, that would be no joke.

◈◈◈

At the very least, he needed to have enough money to buy testing equipment and confirm that these otherworldly pills could also be produced within the Human Federation before he could confidently give them to others.

However, this brought him back to the current difficulty.

——He had no money.

Never mind testing equipment, if he had enough Federation currency, he wouldn’t have needed to go to such lengths for this gravity device today. He had already checked, and a second-level citizen authority was already enough to purchase this model of gravity device.

It was just that the price was indeed expensive.

The basic model cost millions.

“Say,” Shen Xing looked at Hu An and suddenly asked, “Can self-made basic Yuan liquid be sold?”

This idea didn’t come out of nowhere. After all, the ingredients of basic Yuan liquid were very simple. It was said to be made from “herbs grown in areas rich in Yuan Qi,” but in reality, it was just extracting the Yuan Qi from the herbs. In essence, it was just a nutrient solution containing Yuan Qi. The containers used were also specially made to minimize Yuan Qi leakage.

From this perspective, as long as he could find a way to extract the Yuan Qi from the otherworldly pills, he could indeed make his own basic Yuan liquid.

Extracting Yuan Qi and filtering out the original components of the pills wasn’t difficult, and some types of pills were very suitable for this.

For example, the Origin Returning Pill.

Unlike the Blood Spirit Pill, which could accelerate blood circulation and replenish the energy needed by the human body, and also unlike the Hundred Herbs Pill, which could enhance the Divine Soul, this type of pill, which Shen Xing had also tried in the past two days, simply provided Yuan Qi.

Its use was similar to the Yuan Qi Pill that Teacher Li had given him before, except that it contained more Yuan Qi.

One Yuan Qi Pill was roughly equivalent to fifteen basic Yuan liquid, and the official price was already 100,000 Federation currency. One Origin Returning Pill could provide the Yuan Qi equivalent to about thirty basic Yuan liquid!

If sold individually, it could fetch at least 250,000 or more.

And a precision testing instrument with material composition detection capabilities only cost around two million, which was about the price of a bottle of Origin Returning Pill.

“Self-made basic Yuan liquid?” Hu An gave Shen Xing an unexpected answer, “You mean using Yuan Qi extraction equipment to dilute Yuan Qi pills into a dozen or so basic Yuan liquid? Of course, it’s possible. Many senior students who like to enjoy life do this because basic Yuan liquid has a greater demand on the Academy Home Planet and is easier to sell.”

“Many students do this?”

“Yes.” Hu An explained, “The official price of basic Yuan liquid is 5,000 yuan, but in reality, it’s in serious shortage outside the Martial Path Academy. Students who haven’t been able to join the academy or have been eliminated are even willing to pay more than 10,000 to buy it. They don’t even require the official product, as long as the Yuan Qi content is qualified and it’s non-toxic and harmless. Directly selling Yuan Qi pills wouldn’t fetch a much higher price because not many students outside can afford to spend more than 100,000 at once. Although our Martial Path Academy students also have demand, the price premium won’t be too much.”

“I see.” Shen Xing was somewhat enlightened.
