Simulation: My family's financial situation is infinitely improved

Chapter 150 [Making Money]

Over the next period of time, Lin Heng began to make final optimizations to the alchemy process of the alchemy furnace.

After everything is completed, the latest Lingyuan Dan furnace will be able to produce Lingyuan Dan in batches.

It takes about six hours to refine the elixir once, and can produce 48 Lingyuan Pills. The average production efficiency is one Lingyuan Pill per quarter of an hour.

"The raw materials for the Lingyuan Pill are worth about 2 Lingshi, which is Lingshi less than the price of similar pills."

"According to the market price, it's no problem to sell a pill for 5.5 spirit stones. I usually sell it at the normal price, but if someone buys in bulk, I will sell it for 5 spirit stones. I use a slightly preferential price to open up the market and improve my competitiveness."

"If that's the case, a Lingyuan Dan furnace can bring me at least 288 million Lingshi income every day."

"The amount of vital energy consumed to condense a first-grade golden elixir is almost one billion spirit stones. The spirit stones earned by a pill furnace in a year can provide me with enough resources for cultivation. Adding the vital energy accumulated through my own cultivation, theoretically, I can cultivate a golden elixir worth one yuan in less than 100,000 years."

"Then, relying on the enormous vitality provided by this Yuan Numerous Golden Pill, I quickly broke through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

Lin Heng stared at the Lingyuan Dan furnace that was automatically running with the help of the spiritual energy from the spiritual vein, and thought in his heart.

One hundred thousand years from the Nascent Soul stage to the Divine Transformation stage is already an extremely fast cultivation speed. Many cultivators who have been called geniuses since childhood have taken millions of years to break through.

There are even more cultivators who are unable to achieve a breakthrough until their lifespan is exhausted, and can only die of old age.

However, this is not the limit for Lin Heng.

"If I build a hundred Spiritual Yuan Dan furnaces, I can earn 10 billion Spiritual Stones a year. If I build Spiritual Yuan Dan furnaces, I can earn trillion Spiritual Stones a year. In less than years, I can cultivate a Golden Pill worth one Yuan!"

Lin Heng began to imagine the future.

But soon, he restrained his divergent thoughts.

The idea is beautiful, but its implementation is quite limited.

The first is the problem of raw materials. Although the medicinal materials used to refine Lingyuan Dan are the most common types, if Lin Heng purchases too much in a short period of time, it will still cause the price of raw materials to rise, squeezing his profits, and even making it impossible to buy raw materials.

The second is the problem of energy supply for the alchemy furnace. Even if Lin Heng does not practice cultivation and supplies all the spiritual energy to the alchemy furnace, the cave where Lin Heng lives can only support dozens of alchemy furnaces operating at the same time.

There is also a third problem. Once the sales scale is too large, it will easily attract the covetousness of major forces.

With Lin Heng's current strength, he has no problem protecting himself in daily life, but once he shows great value beyond his own strength, it will easily lead to danger.

Although the strongest person active on Yixing is at the Nascent Soul stage, and cultivators above the Spirit Transformation stage are either in the chaotic void or in the places where the laws are active at the edge of the universe to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth, it does not mean that these powerful people at a higher level cannot influence Yixing.

If Lin Heng was too high-profile, it would easily attract the attacks of these masters, resulting in his sudden death.

Finally, after Lin Heng's market research in Lingyun City, he finally refined three Lingyuan Dan furnaces.

Three Lingyuan Dan furnaces can refine 288 Lingyuan Dan pills every day. Lin Heng, a fifth-level alchemist, can also refine this number of pills.

But this requires him to focus all his time and energy on refining the elixir, leaving him with no free time for cultivation.

Now, with the existence of the Lingyuan Danlu, he can practice while refining pills, and the outside world will not doubt the source of Lin Heng's pills and covet his technology.

Anyway, you still have a long life ahead of you, so there is no need to rush into anything. There is no need to bring unnecessary dangers for the sake of temporary benefits.

For the next period of time, Lin Heng began to work hard to sell Lingyuan Dan.

First, he used up his savings to purchase a lot of materials that could be used to refine Lingyuan Dan, and then let the Lingyuan Dan furnace refine them into pills.

Afterwards, Lin Heng set up a reception sign on a commercial street not far from his cave.

Yan Ming said that there were fourth-grade pills for sale at the No. 66 Mountain Cave, which were suitable for Jindan cultivators. One pill was equivalent to one month of hard training, and the price was 5.5 spirit stones per pill. There were discounts for bulk purchases, with the lowest discount being spirit stones per pill.

At the beginning, no one was interested in Lin Heng.

After all, I have never heard of Lingyuan Dan or the alchemist named Shenhuo.

You can't take elixirs randomly.

But in the end, unable to resist the temptation of discounts, some cash-strapped Jindan cultivators came to give it a try.

"Excuse me, are you Senior Shenhuo? I am Cheng Yongfeng, and I am here to buy Lingyuan Dan."

Lin Heng, who was practicing, sensed a sound transmission note flying into the mountain protection formation and let it in.

He did not stop practicing, but simply split out an incarnation to go and receive them.

Soon after, a middle-aged human dressed in black flew in and followed Lin Heng's guidance to the Welcoming Peak that he had specially arranged.

This place is separated from where Lin Heng places the Lingyuan Dan furnace and where he lives, so he is not worried about exposing his little secret.

"Greetings, Senior. May I see the Ling Yuan Pill?"

The middle-aged monk was invited by Lin Heng to sit down. He took the tea brought by Lin Heng and spoke with a smile.

As a cultivator, even if he does not have any special physique, his life essence will evolve several times as his cultivation level breaks through, and he will be extremely handsome. Cheng Yongfeng is a middle-aged handsome man with temperament.

"This is the Lingyuan Pill, a secret recipe of mine. It's based on the cultivation characteristics of Jindan cultivators, who condense their essence, energy, and spirit to nourish the golden elixir. It's suitable for all cultivation methods. Although it won't have any particularly outstanding effects, it won't cause any problems either."

Lin Heng took out a jade bottle and introduced it.

Cheng Yongfeng took the jade bottle and poured out a green pill. He used a spell to identify the pill and confirmed that it was non-toxic. He also found that the characteristics of the pill were similar to what Lin Heng described.

However, when Cheng Yongfeng wanted to explore the deeper ingredients of this pill and even the refining method, he was unable to do so.

Once the elixir of the fourth level or above is refined, it will naturally become one with the universe and have the effect of preventing counterfeiting and snooping.

Whether adding foreign matter into the elixir or forcibly analyzing its ingredients, it will destroy the structure of the elixir and cause it to lose its original effect.

If you want to refine a poisonous pill to harm people, it is a very troublesome thing. You need to start research from scratch and create a new pill formula that is similar to a normal pill and does not have any major problems, but is poisonous.

Cheng Yongfeng had taken many pills before, so he didn't take this situation seriously. After confirming that it was non-toxic, he took one directly to check the quality of the pill.

He found that it was just as his own magic test and Lin Heng's description showed. After refining, it could be equivalent to a normal Jindan cultivator's one month of hard training.

Lingyuan Pill sells for 5.5 spirit stones. Compared with other similar pills on the market, it has no advantages in terms of price or effect. But if Lin Heng is willing to give a discount, the cost-effectiveness of this pill will be maximized.

Cheng Yongfeng immediately decided to buy the Spiritual Essence Pill. "I have three million Spiritual Stones. I wonder how much of a discount you'd be willing to give me?"

Cheng Yongfeng asked.

"Then I'll sell you sixty Spiritual Yuan Pills at the price of fifty thousand each."

Lin Heng was very easy to talk to and directly gave the biggest discount to the first customer who came to his store.

As he spoke, he took out the Lingyuan Pill that he had prepared long ago.

"Thank you, senior."

Cheng Yongfeng checked the 59 Lingyuan Pills one by one and confirmed that they were not poisonous fakes. He immediately took out high-grade spirit stones as payment.

"I'm buying these herbs here. If you have any next time, you can sell them to me. The price is slightly higher than the store's purchase price."

Before Cheng Yongfeng said goodbye and left, Lin Heng made a purchase price list by combining the various medicinal materials needed to refine Lingyuan Dan, as well as some concealed medicinal materials, and showed it to Cheng Yongfeng.

This is a win-win situation. Without middlemen to make a profit, Cheng Yongfeng can sell the materials at a high price and Lin Heng can save some money.

"Remember, I'll take my leave now. See you next time."

Cheng Yongfeng glanced at the price tag, nodded, and then said goodbye and left.

With this first opening experience, perhaps because word of mouth gradually spread, the number of Jindan cultivators coming to buy Lingyuan Dan gradually increased.

Soon, Lin Heng's stock of elixirs was cleared out. Sometimes, some monks who came to buy elixirs had to wait for a while before they could buy the elixirs they needed.

In the circle of Jindan cultivators living and practicing in Lingyun City, everyone knows that there is a kind of cultivation-enhancing elixir that is mediocre in effect but slightly cheaper for purchase at Cave Residence No. 66 in the Mountains.

So, when they have spare money, they will come to take care of Lin Heng's business.

The days passed in this peaceful manner.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.

Fang Yaqi, who had met her once before in the City Lord's Mansion of Lingyun City, came to visit Cave Mansion No. 66 in the Mountains.

"Senior Shenhuo, I'm here to remind you that your mountain cave residence lease will expire in a year and will need to be renewed. I hope you can prepare the rent in advance to avoid any misunderstandings."

"The second thing is to come and inform you that you need to pay taxes."

"You've been refining Lingyuan Pills and selling them in Lingyun City since this year. According to our statistics, you've purchased a total of 11 Lingyuan Pill refining materials."

"Your Lingyuan Pill is priced at 1 Lingshi. According to Lingyun City's tax law, we will deem your success rate as 3750% and charge % of the selling price for each pill as tax. This means you will need to pay million Lingshi."

Fang Yaqi said with a smile.

Lin Heng spent five years learning the skills of alchemy and refining, and several more years researching pill formulas and automated alchemy furnaces. Before he knew it, he had been in Lingyun City for almost ten years.

As for paying taxes, Lin Heng already knew about it.

Lingyun City maintains a stable order, provides a superior business environment where various alchemy materials can be quickly purchased, and provides Lin Heng with a cave residence in the mountains that is almost free of charge. The purpose is to make money.

Although he had to pay more than 100 million spirit stones as taxes, Lin Heng earned more, with an annual income of nearly 3.3 billion spirit stones.

"This is 200 million spirit stones. After deducting the tax, the remaining amount will be used as the rental fee for the cave."

"Your City Lord's Mansion can just send me the alchemy materials. From now on, the tax will be added directly to the material cost. Don't bother me regularly."

Lin Heng simply gave the money and sent Fang Yaqi away.

Fang Yaqi naturally had no objection to this. If she helped Lin Heng run errands to purchase raw materials, she could also make some money.

"Earning over 30 billion spirit stones a year may seem like a lot, but it's actually a drop in the bucket."

After seeing Fang Yaqi off, Lin Heng took a look at his income this year.

He has exchanged them all for crystal clear spirit crystals that contain rich spiritual energy. Together with the profits he earned from refining the pills with the raw materials he collected from customers who bought the pills, he has exactly 30 spirit crystals.

If all of it is refined, three more golden pills can be condensed.

However, Lin Heng was still in the form of Hunyuan Dao Body at this moment. If he advanced in his cultivation now, his foundation would be flawed, so Lin Heng did not directly refine these cultivation resources for cultivation, but stored them temporarily.

"If we continue to save money at this rate, it will take about 40,000 years to accumulate enough cultivation resources to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm. We need to find a way to make money faster."

For any cultivator, it would take more than 40,000 years to accumulate enough cultivation resources to break through to the God Transformation stage, which is considered very fast.

But Lin Heng was not satisfied, he planned to expand his money-making business.

The existence of Xuanyuan Pavilion and the existence of the Wushen Sect that destroyed it more than a thousand years ago have always been a thorn in Lin Heng's throat. He needs to grow up faster.

"There are two ways to make money now. One of them is to expand the scale of the Lingyuan Danlu. Although it is easy to attract attention in Lingyun City, if we develop this industry in another place, it will be feasible."

"If we can establish the Lingyuan Dan business in multiple cities, making money will naturally be easy. But I still have the same concern: if the movement is too big and lasts too long, I will either successfully accumulate enough cultivation resources along the way, or it will attract other people's attention."

"He was targeted by a master and died suddenly."

Lin Heng pondered in his heart and was more inclined to the second way of making money: "I still have to sell the skills."

Selling martial arts skills is a one-time deal, you can do it under a hidden identity and make money from each shot.

Even if someone targeted Lin Heng for this reason, they would not be able to catch him.

However, how to sell the martial arts is also a matter of some considerations. First of all, the martial arts of the Wushen Sect must not be sold. Selling it is pure cheating. It is better to rob it directly, and not everyone will dare to buy it.

Secondly, the skills of the Blood Immortal Palace and the Xuanyuan Pavilion cannot be sold. The reason is similar to that of selling the skills of the Martial God Sect, and it can easily lead to the sudden death of the buyer.

To sum up, Lin Heng finally set his sights on his Hunyuan Dao body.

This physique was deduced by Lin Heng from the second level to the fifth level. He is the founder. This physique does not offend anyone, so there will be no trouble if it is sold.
