Chapter 436: Chapter 436: The Plan Begins_1
“This… Mr. Xu, okay, I believe you. Thank you for not holding grudges!” Guan Xiangyuan’s heart leaped with joy as he gratefully said.
Afterward, he turned his head to Wang Fangtong and respectfully said, “Thank you, Professor Wang!”
The woman named Ah Zi also gave Wang Fangtong a slight bow, and her gaze toward Xu Fan was tinged with a hint of apology and gratitude.
Wang Fangtong smiled, graciously accepting the thanks.
If it were not for himself, Xu Fan, my young friend, was destined to miss out on this little cauldron, and this young couple would have regretted their greed for missing out on a high price.
Out of consideration for my face, Xu Fan was indeed reasonable; not only did he not bargain, but he also gave a bit extra.
…
“Ding!”
Guan Xiangyuan, seeing the message of 400,000 transferred into his account, heaved a sigh of relief and felt elated, then handed over the cauldron and copper coins.
Xu Fan put his phone into his pocket, took the two items, and once again reminded, “I still want to say, these items are just unearthed, the copper coins were pried from the mouth of a corpse, and carry the heaviest death qi, which can kill people. The other three items in your possession are also tainted with death qi, be careful.”
“Death qi? Is there really such a thing? I thought you were just trying to scare me,” Guan Xiangyuan couldn’t help but change his expression.
He was fine until he heard it, but once the thought settled in his mind, he couldn’t help but panic and asked, “What should I do about this?”
Xu Fan waved his hand reassuringly, “There’s no big problem. After you take them back, just smear some black dog blood on them, and then expose them to the sunlight for a few days. As long as the death qi dissipates, the items will be harmless.”
Guan Xiangyuan nodded seriously, though the concept of death qi seemed rather eerie, he preferred to be safe than sorry.
Moreover, Xu Fan had already obtained what he wanted and wasn’t clinging to the remaining three items. He wouldn’t bring up the death qi issue if it weren’t out of kindness; was he merely trying to scare him?
Furthermore, even someone like Professor Wang, who addresses him as an equal, was certainly not an ordinary person and was worth trusting.
“I understand now, thank you for the advice, Mr. Xu. I will do as you say when I get back,” Guan Xiangyuan said, nodding like a pecking chicken.
His gratitude was genuine.

If it weren’t for Xu Fan’s repeated warnings, his return could have been fraught with bad luck, or even disaster.
Nevertheless, although Xu Fan had provided a solution, he was still worried and had even considered seeking a ritual master to perform a purification, hoping for peace of mind.
It seemed, searching for bargains was not only risky but also dangerous.
After nodding to Professor Wang, Guan Xiangyuan quickly left with Ah Zi.
Watching the two disappear into the crowd, Xu Fan also approached Wang Fangtong and thanked him with a smile.
The latter waved his hand nonchalantly, “What’s there to thank for? It’s not like we’re deceiving anyone, just telling the truth. Now I’m very curious, you paid double the price, could it be that this cauldron has some hidden value I didn’t see? No, that can’t be right, you don’t care about this little amount of money. So, what exactly attracted you to it?”
“If it wasn’t for Elder Wang, I wouldn’t have this cauldron in my hands now, so I must express my gratitude,” Xu Fan said. “This cauldron is indeed special, it’s a Medicine Cauldron, it must have refined many elixirs, with strong yang energy, so it remained untainted by death qi despite centuries in a tomb. I bought it to put it to good use.”
“So, you’re planning to use it to refine elixirs?”
Wang Fangtong looked at Xu Fan in surprise, not expecting that in addition to his commendable martial skills, he also had this talent.
“Yes,” Xu Fan nodded.
At this, Wang Fangtong became a bit uneasy. He had always thought highly of Xu Fan, but now realized he had underestimated him – Xu Fan was even more profound and inscrutable than he had imagined.
Not to mention others, just on the topic of refining elixirs.
He had lived for more than seventy years, munching on salt that could pile into a hill, witnessed all manner of oddities that could fill an online novel, yet had never, in reality, heard of someone who could refine elixirs.
After all, refining elixirs belonged to mythology and fantasy; even ancient alchemists and Daoist priests ended up creating false elixirs, which had no benefits but countless harms.
Xu Fan actually declared that he knew how to do it.
This was something worth pondering.
The four people from the internet company listened on the side and couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, finding the idea preposterous and hard to believe.
Of course, they didn’t say anything out of turn, since they were there to ask for help. If they said something the other party didn’t want to hear, wouldn’t they just be asking for trouble?
At the very least, they certainly wouldn’t get any more help.
After chatting for a bit, Wang Fangtong invited Xu Fan to sit down in Zangyu Tower once more, but since Xu Fan had gotten what he wanted and was eager to return, he gracefully declined.
Wang Fangtong expressed a bit of regret.
Xu Fan took Tongtong and headed back to the car, driving towards Yifan Pharmaceutical Company.
This time he had bought a lot of medicinal herbs, and had acquired the equipment needed to refine elixirs, so naturally, he planned to start preparations.
First, he needed to refine an Elixir of Lightning Dissipation for his disciple, Cui Dong.
The Elixir of Lightning Dissipation was a very common elixir in the Cultivation World, well-known not for its remarkable effects, but for its unimpressive ones.
The effects of the Elixir of Lightning Dissipation were very singular; it could not enhance one’s cultivation level or strength but could only lessen the damage from lightning that the user suffered.
Honestly, an elixir that could reduce lightning damage sounds extraordinary just by hearing about it.
After all, the power of lightning was something most cultivators couldn’t withstand, especially the lightning strikes of the Heavenly Tribulation. Moreover, in the Cultivation World, there were many cultivators and demons who practiced thunder spells.
However, despite its impressive sound, the Elixir of Lightning Dissipation was quite underwhelming in reality.
Because it would have the complete opposite effect when it absorbed too much lightning power; instead of reducing, it would increase the lightning damage, which just sounds absurd.
What’s most absurd is that the Elixir of Lightning Dissipation could only withstand lightning damage below the Qi Refinement Realm…
It was so underwhelming!
Underwhelming enough to make one want to curse.
But sometimes, it had its uses.
For example, for Cui Dong who had the Tai Xuan Jiuxiao Body, awakening his physique required attracting lightning to temper his body and pass through his meridians.
But his physical fitness was so poor that he was definitely not capable of withstanding the might of lightning, so at times like these, the Elixir of Lightning Dissipation could come into play.
Therefore, without readiness, Xu Fan wasn’t in a hurry to teach Cui Dong anything. Only with the Elixir of Lightning Dissipation in hand could Cui Dong endure the lightning strikes from the sky without dying, and successfully awaken.
Although the lightning on a stormy day looks pretty frightening, that’s relative to the ordinary person. To Xu Fan, it was really of moderate strength and completely within the endurance range of the Elixir of Lightning Dissipation.
Apart from refining the Elixir of Lightning Dissipation, Xu Fan also began to set Yifan Pharmaceuticals on a new path: earning huge profits through mass drug production, thus aiding Xu Yixue in winning her wager with the Xu Family.
His initial goal was to break through four billion in net profits within the timeframe of the bet.
This was not just talk; he was serious.
Although Xu Fan had the “skills,” reaching this goal was not a sure bet.
Of course, he had already thought through his strategy.
The money from ordinary people is hard to earn, but if you focus on women, it becomes much easier.
After all, money from women and children is the easiest to earn in this world.
According to a global survey conducted by relevant institutions, women ranked first in consumer spending capacity!
