Chapter 27: Chapter 27: The Wealth-Enamored Ye Jinfeng_1
Three days later, Ye’s Elixir Pavilion officially opened for business.
When the red cloth covering the plaque was taken down, it immediately attracted quite a lot of attention.
The name ‘Elixir Pavilion’ implies it’s a place for selling elixirs.
Selling elixirs naturally means there’s an alchemist involved, and alchemists are scarce, each one famous in their own right.
Since when did Wanlu County get another alchemist?
Ye Fan didn’t choose any grand opening discounts or promotions, because he simply didn’t need to.
Alchemists are precious, so it’s always a seller’s market, not a buyer’s market.
In summary, it’s simple: buy it if you want, leave if you don’t.
If the alchemists weren’t this confident, why would so many martial artists aspire to become one?
The shop Ye Fan rented is located in the busiest part of Wanlu County, otherwise, the rent wouldn’t be so high.
And the majority of the people who can afford to shop here are powerful martial artists.
These people are precisely Ye Fan’s target demographic.
When quite a few martial artists stepped into Ye’s Elixir Pavilion and saw that the Limit-Breaking Elixir, and even a higher-grade version, were available for customization, their originally calm hearts were instantly stirred.
Most of those who could afford the Limit-Breaking Elixir were martial artists in the postnatal realm.
They didn’t need the Limit-Breaking Elixir, but who doesn’t have relatives or descendants who do?
These people, they need it!
Just offering a lower-grade Limit-Breaking Elixir wouldn’t get them this excited, but the main attraction was the customization of a higher-grade Limit-Breaking Elixir offered by Ye Fan.
“Shopkeeper, hurry over here, can you really concoct a higher-grade Limit-Breaking Elixir?”
A martial artist exclaimed excitedly at the shopkeeper, who was from the Body Forging Realm and hired by Ye Fan.
Facing the question, he smiled confidently: “Since we posted it, we naturally have the confidence to deliver.”
In the face of everyone’s skepticism, confidence in Ye’s Elixir Pavilion must be shown.
If he showed hesitation, it would only make people think it’s unreliable.
“Everyone, I am Ye Fan, the owner of Ye’s Elixir Pavilion. I can assure you very clearly that we can concoct it, whether it’s lower-grade or higher-grade.”
Ye Fan stood among the crowd. Today, Ye’s Elixir Pavilion must make a big splash.
If not, he wouldn’t even be able to afford the potions needed to support his family members’ cultivation.
Hearing Ye Fan’s words, many people began to plot.
This Ye’s Elixir Pavilion seemed quite powerful.
“Chief Ye, our Shen Family intends to order some Limit-Breaking Elixirs, would it be possible to discuss in detail?”
The Shen Family was a first-class family in Wanlu County, possessing powerful warriors at the late stage
These people were real big customers, and Ye Fan naturally wouldn’t refuse.
“Chief Ye, Li Family also plans to order a portion.”
In just one day, Ye Fan received orders for ten Limit-Breaking Elixirs.
And most of them were higher-grade Limit-Breaking Elixirs.
Watching them buy Limit-Breaking Elixirs like buying vegetables, Ye Fan secretly cursed in his heart: a bunch of big dogs.
These orders should be enough to keep Ye Fan busy for a long time.
Ye Fan didn’t continue to take orders. He decided to fulfil these first.
Originally, Ye Fan thought that with the high yield of elixirs he concocted today, he wouldn’t sell out.
However, to his surprise, in just one day, the few hundred elixirs prepared by Ye Fan sold out.
In the end, Ye Fan had to personally apologize, promising to prepare more next time.
In one day, he earned six thousand silver and Ye Fan was a bit scared.
Like this, was he too high-profile?
Ye Fan had guessed that in the dark, there must be a lot of people targeting the Ye family now.
But nevertheless, the reputation of Ye’s Elixir Pavilion was thoroughly established.
In the following days, Ye Fan basically spent every day immersed in the alchemy room concocting.
In addition to the elixirs that needed to be sold at the Ye’s Elixir Pavilion, a portion of elixirs also had to be provided to Duobao Pavilion. Otherwise, why should they receive the benefits?
“Uncle, I want to learn alchemy,” said Ye Jinfeng to Ye Fan, her face serious. “You want to learn alchemy? Of course, you can.”
Ye Fan had long wanted to find a student within the Ye Family to pass on the art of alchemy.
However, it seemed that the Ye Family members had no interest in this, no one said they wanted to learn alchemy.
Ye Fan thought for a while, then asked: “Little Phoenix, why do you want to learn alchemy?”
“Because alchemy makes money.”
As Ye Jinfeng said this, her eyes sparkled with little stars.
Hearing this, Ye Fan felt both tickled and amused.
“Do you lack money at home?” Ye Fan asked, puzzled.
As far as Ye Fan knew, they had never been short of anything at home. Ye Jinfeng shook her head: “Uncle, we live very well at home, and I do not lack money, but I like money. The feeling of making money makes people happy.” Ye Jinfeng sounded very firm, making money was merely a hobby.
Ye Fan couldn’t help but ruffle Little Phoenix’s small head, how had he never noticed before that Ye Jinfeng was actually a little money grubber.
However, Ye Fan didn’t see anything wrong with it. Liking money was natural.
Moreover, having a correct view about money could also become a motivation to move forward.
“Since Little Phoenix wants to learn, I, your uncle, will definitely teach you.”
Alchemy had never been a simple matter. The scorching heat one must endure during the process can discourage most people.
Originally, Ye Fan thought that the young girl would not last long, but to his surprise, half a year later, not only did Ye Jinfeng not give up, but she became even more determined.
“A Hundred Ginseng elixir costs one hundred taels, ten costs a thousand, and a hundred costs ten thousand. I must work hard to learn. Once I master it, I’ll make a fortune.”
“Little Phoenix, for the sake of making money, you mustn’t give up.”
Whenever she felt like giving up, Ye Jinfeng would use the silver bills that Ye Fan brought back each month to motivate herself.
She needed to make money for the Ye Family, and for herself.
“Little sister Phoenix, um… can you lend me a hundred taels?”
Ye Jinhai scratched his head awkwardly as he spoke to Ye Jinfeng, his face flushed.
Being a brother who borrowed money from his sister, he supposed he was the first.
But he had no choice. The money at home was managed by Su Yan.
Although there was no lack of cultivation resources, petty cash was something Ye Jinhai only had a hundred taels of each month.
He wasn’t like Ye Jintian, who had his own business and could earn money.
Every time he asked for more money, Ye Fan would tell him to find a wife, leaving Ye Jinhai feeling hopeless.
Women, they really did impact his cultivation.
“What do you need the money for?” Ye Jinfeng clutched her money bag tightly, watching Ye Jinhai suspiciously.
“Don’t tell anyone else about this.
There’s a sect in the city that’s taking in disciples. I want to join the sect, and this hundred taels is the fee to test my aptitude.”
A sect?
After hearing Ye Jinhai’s reason, Ye Jinfeng did not refuse any further.
Even though Ye Jinfeng loved money, she was never stingy, especially towards her family members.
“Big Brother Hai, consider this hundred taels as my support for you. You don’t need to pay me back.”
“Little sister Phoenix, you’re the best!”
Ye Jinhai, filled with excitement as he held the hundred taels, rushed towards the door.
The reason he didn’t ask his family for help was because Ye Jinhai feared his potential wouldn’t be enough, leading to an embarrassing situation if he wasn’t selected.
First, he’d give the test, then, if he was selected, he would tell his family.
If he wasn’t selected, it would be as if the incident never occurred.
Heavenly Sword Sect, here I come!
