Hidden Moth-Chapter 407 - 227: Purifying the Heart and Returning to Ordinary Life
Lan Jiwan was both surprised and delighted to hear the voice of the Sect Leader Senior Brother. At the same time, she felt a bit shy, inexplicably akin to having done something wrong and nearly being caught. She hurriedly tidied up her clothes before slowly stepping out.
He Kao was not waiting outside the door for her and instead said to meet in the martial arts hall on the first floor.
After Lan Jiwan arrived at the martial arts hall, Ye Liangcheng also rushed over after receiving the notice, both stepping forward to pay respects to the Sect Leader Senior Brother. He Kao first inquired about Ye Liangcheng’s recent cultivation progress, and then Lan Jiwan reported on what happened while she assisted Li Chun in Nanhua.
After finishing, she asked He Kao for the next steps.
He Kao asked in return, "Do you know how to do business?"
Ye Liangcheng: "I used to run a company."
Lan Jiwan: "I’m willing to do anything. If I don’t know, I can learn along the way."
He Kao: "In that case, first register a company in both your names. The money left in the base will be the startup capital. The specifics of which projects to manage and what to produce should be based on your strengths. You can collaborate with the Huishi Group."
Within this secret base, there is still quite a bit of cash, foreign currency, and a small amount of gold stored. Its current total value is approximately over seven million, an appreciation since the beginning of the year, mainly due to the substantial increase in the value of gold.
He Kao recently pondered a question: with the capabilities of Ye Liangcheng and Lan Jiwan, making a living is absolutely not an issue. But since they are to establish a sect organization, they must have industries they operate on their own.
It would be best to convert these funds into production materials. Now there’s an opportunity to collaborate with the Huishi Trading Group. The Huishi Group has a broad business scope, and is both powerful and reputable locally, having even extended their product line overseas now.
Having Lan Jiwan handle the connections doesn’t require the couple Li Chun and his wife to deliberately give any benefits. It all depends on what she and Ye Liangcheng excel at; forming a company to take on part of the business will be enough to establish a foothold.
Just the two of them surely isn’t enough. As for what business to conduct and what type of business team to hire, Ye Liangcheng is responsible for, which is better than idling away in this abandoned park area every day.
Even if the entrepreneurship is unsuccessful, it’s not an unbearable loss. The most crucial part is the process of doing this thing, allowing them to return to normal life.
Lan Jiwan must purify her mind and dissolve the Heart Demon, as does Ye Liangcheng. Ye Liangcheng is a simple-minded person, but his lifestyle over the past few years has not been normal and needs to be adjusted.
However, He Kao did not point this out explicitly. He just told them they could go ahead with this matter, and they should discuss and handle the specific details together, with Lan Jiwan in charge of contacting the Huishi Group and Ye Liangcheng responsible for setting up the company.
After dealing with official business, He Kao also left two bottles of Jade Phoenix Tree Seeds, being impartial, giving one bottle to each, with twelve seeds per bottle, which is perfectly suitable for Ye Liangcheng and Lan Jiwan at this stage in their cultivation.
Old Man Jiang once told He Kao that Jade Phoenix Tree Seeds were very suitable for supplementing Primordial Qi before breaking through to Tier Four, with effects comparable to the Nourishing Essence Pill. He Kao relayed this information to the two of them.
The Jade Phoenix Tree in Pugang Town produces matured Parasol Tree Seeds every year, varying in age. He Kao also gathered this year’s harvest; it appears Elder Jiang left this as a resource point for the Hidden Moth.
Bitter Tea left some elixirs in the base, which, after He Kao’s evaluation, are suitable for pre-entry and Tier One and Tier Two Sorcerers, offering little help to Tier Three Sorcerers, so he took them away for now.
Bitter Tea also left behind three canisters of Awakening Incense, one of which had already been opened. In total, two hundred forty-seven sticks remain. He Kao took a complete canister, which is one hundred sticks, leaving the rest for the two of them.
Based on He Kao’s own cultivation experience, lighting a stick of Awakening Incense in the meditation room during night-time sitting meditation helps stabilize the mind and refine the Primordial Spirit, but one stick is sufficient, more would be less effective.
Its effect on calming the spirit is surprisingly even better than the Beast Claw Pendant... which is quite exaggerating—not the Awakening Incense, but rather the marvelous effect of the Beast Claw Pendant is somewhat exaggerated! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
If there is any damage to the Primordial Spirit, using it for recuperation, at most, involves lighting three sticks of incense in the meditation room.
Of course, He Kao also advised them to light a stick of Awakening Incense during their usual cultivation and midnight sitting meditation.
In fact, this practice is rather extravagant. He Kao once bought two canisters of Awakening Incense, totaling one million in cost, and if not for Lin Qingshuang’s influence, he wouldn’t have been able to purchase them.
If Lan Jiwan and Ye Liangcheng both use Awakening Incense for cultivation, this expense alone would cost over three million annually. Of course, they don’t have that much Awakening Incense; the remaining one hundred forty-seven sticks are only sufficient for two and a half months for the two of them.
The two canisters of Awakening Incense He Kao bought last time were long used up, hence he took a canister from here today. It’s not about taking advantage but a habit of making full use of things; it’s needed in cultivation, so why leave it there unused.
Initially thought after breaking through Tier Four, he wouldn’t need the assistance of Awakening Incense for cultivation, but surprisingly the demand has only increased. Today, having attempted Consciousness Stealth, he distinctly felt the consumption and refining of the Primordial Spirit.
This condition is perfect for Awakening Incense’s assistance, and it’s best to light three sticks at once. The canister He Kao took today is only enough for him to use for one month.
So what to do after a month? Nothing! Use it if available, if not, it just isn’t, and continue cultivating as usual—this is He Kao’s current state of mind, very open-minded.
The main ingredient of Awakening Incense is the Spirit Medicine Cold Needle Jade, which isn’t available in the Qihuang Spirit Garden, but He Kao found it in the Caiping Grotto Heaven.
