Chapter 360: Chapter 75: Besides being rich and handsome, what else do you have

...

On the other side.

After enduring the auction’s end with great difficulty, returning to the Huangfu Family’s Main Residence, Huangfu Jinhuan could finally unleash his suppressed anger.

"Too much bullying!! Too much bullying! Good for you, Lei Yangyu! Good for you, Wang Shouzhe! If I, Huangfu Jinhuan, don’t avenge this, I swear I am not human!!"

He was so furious he kicked over the stone table in the yard and still felt unsatisfied, punching directly at the training stone cauldron beside him.

"Bang!!"

The stone cauldron exploded into countless fragments instantly.

The fragments splashed everywhere, but Huangfu Jinhuan didn’t care at all. He had Profound Qi protecting his body, so these flying stone fragments would be repelled by the protective Profound Qi before they could touch him.

After smashing the stone cauldron, he still felt unsatisfied and wanted to take out his anger on other things in the yard.

"Ah~ Patriarch, Patriarch, please calm down, calm down."

The steward who entered was frightened and rushed forward trying to stop Huangfu Jinhuan.

However, how could Huangfu Jinhuan listen to him?

With a casual gesture, he shook off the old steward, then lifted his leg and kicked over an ornamental tree.

The steward’s old face instantly wrinkled like a bitter gourd.

The stone cauldron, the stone table, were both specially made, even the ornamental tree was a century-old tree, together they were worth at least a hundred Qian Gold~ all ruined in a blink.

The family’s money had been drained away, and there wasn’t much left in the accounts~

But he dared not complain, dared not provoke the Patriarch’s ire at this time, and dared not let Huangfu Jinhuan vent any longer, only he could suppress his fear and advised, "Patriarch, anger cannot solve problems. You must calm down to make those who hit you while you’re down pay the price, don’t you think?"

"You’re right, I must make them pay the price."

Hearing these words, Huangfu Jinhuan’s head, almost filled with anger, finally calmed down a little.

He carried his hands behind his back, sneering coldly, "Pulling out hundreds of thousands of Qian Gold all at once just to disgust me, I want to see how he’s going to handle it. Livestock farming isn’t that easy to do." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old steward nodded vigorously, "You’re right."

"The livestock industry has high professional technical requirements. My Huangfu Family has been managing it for hundreds of years to develop the ranch to its current scale." Huangfu Jinhuan became more confident as he spoke, and his eyes gradually grew sharp, "That bunch of laymen rashly entering the livestock industry, who knows how much they will lose? When the time comes, they’ll have nowhere to cry."

"Yes, yes, yes! Everything you’re saying is right!"

...

Time flew by.

After the Qianma Huangfu Family’s property auction, half a month had passed, and all the clamor and discussions gradually settled.

The reputation and prestige of the Celestial Person Huangfu Family fell drastically in this event, no longer retaining the image of an exalted and admirable Celestial Human Family from past days.

The Ping’an Wang Family seized this opportunity to significantly boost their reputation, suddenly becoming red-hot in the Changning Guard, and even the ordinary members of the Ping’an Wang Family became much sought-after, garnering much admiration.

There are three Pill Workshops in Changning Guard.

These three Pill Workshops belong to three different forces, among them, one is operated by the Changning Xu Family.

As a Noble Family develops, its population grows, leading to a greater demand for Low-Tier Elixirs. In such cases, relying entirely on external purchases for all elixirs can easily leave them vulnerable, and the costs would become prohibitive.

Even though a "Minor Primordial Cultivation Pill" only costs ten Qian Gold each, when quantities rise, it still becomes a significant expenditure.

If a family wishes to grow stronger, they often train their own Alchemists.

Even a mature Tier One Alchemist can save the family significant expenses over time.

The Ping’an Wang Family’s "Shou" generation Seventh, Wang Shouye, is the first Alchemist trained by the Wang Family.

He was arranged from a young age to learn in the Pill Workshop of the Changning Xu Family, following Alchemists to learn the knowledge of Alchemy, and now has been there for over nine years. With his efforts and family support, he has had a smooth journey in the Alchemy Dao, now being a relatively mature Tier One Alchemist.

On this day.

As usual, Wang Shouye first went to pay respects to his master, Xu Ningchao, and took the opportunity to inquire about several baffling questions. Suddenly enlightened, he then went to his exclusive pill furnace room in the back courtyard of the Pill Workshop.

This pill furnace room is a standard Tier One pill furnace room. From structural design to the furnace fuel used, it can only produce Tier One Pills.

In the pill furnace room, the fire was raging.

Seeing Wang Shouye enter, the two attendants fanning the furnace immediately stood up and cupped their hands in salute, "Seventh Young Master."

They were the on-duty Furnace Attendants.

In Wang Shouye’s exclusive pill furnace room, there were four exclusive Furnace Attendants like them.

They were only fourteen or fifteen years old, selected with great care from the Wang Family’s collateral relatives or household servants, household generals, tenant farmers, and other systems. Each was intelligent and clever, with some cultivation potential.

They began assisting Wang Shouye at the age of twelve. After learning for a few years, once they grasped the basics of Alchemy and became familiar with the Alchemy process, they could begin learning Alchemy themselves.

Wang Shouye also went through this process back then.

As their skills matured, the Ping’an Wang Family would have its own Alchemy team.

It was only the marital relationship between the Changning Xu Family and Ping’an Wang Family, plus the secret advantages the Wang Family had given, that allowed such an arrangement to be realized. Otherwise, no Pill Workshop would train Alchemists for another family.
