Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 46: Methods to Make Money!

On the way back to the academy after leaving the Treasure Pavilion.

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya discussed what they had seen and heard at the treasure appreciation event, with Yu Beibei occasionally chiming in with a word or two. Only Zhu Ziyang remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

So, what is he thinking?

It's obvious he's thinking about making money.

The medicinal pills on display at the treasure fair gave Zhu Ziyang an idea: he could refine the pills himself! This way, he could obtain cultivation resources and make money by selling the pills—a win-win situation!

In the present day, the art of alchemy is not flourishing on the Douluo Continent, but this does not mean that the art of alchemy was not glorious in the past. On the contrary, in the ancient times of the Douluo Continent, almost every ancient sect on the continent possessed its own signature pills, and their strength was inextricably linked to the pills they mastered.

However, as time went by, most of the pill formulas disappeared due to the destruction of sects or became ineffective due to a lack of materials. Due to the combination of various reasons, nearly 90% of the pill formulas on the continent were lost. Various pills with different effects gradually disappeared from the continent, and the books and knowledge of the way of pills were almost completely lost. Even the once complete pill system has been broken and damaged.

However, this was actually a good thing for Zhu Ziyang. The Super Library contained all the pill formulas that had ever appeared on the continent. These formulas were a priceless treasure trove for him. He could easily find several lost pills among these formulas, refine them, and then sell them! Currently, only a very few forces on the continent still possessed pill formulas and alchemists. The entire pill market was still an untapped blue ocean; he could easily make a fortune just by casually releasing a few pills!

The more Zhu Ziyang thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

Currently, pills in Douluo Continent are divided into five qualities: low-grade pills, medium-grade pills, high-grade pills, top-grade pills, and peerless treasure pills. Except for peerless treasure pills, which cannot be measured in money, the lowest-priced low-grade pills have a minimum price of more than 10,000 gold soul coins, while the highest-priced top-grade pills have reached a sky-high price of 100 million gold soul coins each!

Now, if he can find a suitable pill formula, learn how to refine pills, and find sales channels, then earning a million a day will not be a dream.

Without further ado, Zhu Ziyang began searching for books on elixirs in the library.

After returning to the dormitory, everyone parted ways. Zhu Ziyang went back to his room and immediately took out a book, "Basic Alchemy"! This book describes the basic methods of alchemy and was once popular on the continent in ancient times. Nowadays, only a very few ancient sects still have this book.

Zhu Ziyang flipped through the book. As a complete novice with no prior knowledge, this book was enough for him to ponder for quite some time.

the next day.

In front of the dormitory building, Zhu Ziyang leaned against the wall, waiting for Jiang Nannan, while also carefully studying "Basic Alchemy Refinement". Yu Beibei, on the other hand, casually observed the old man in front of the door.

"Brother, we're here." Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya came down.

"Okay, let's go for a run," Zhu Ziyang said, putting away his book.

"Okay!" Jiang Nannan replied.

"Beibei, shall we go for a run together?" Tang Ya said to Yu Beibei. "Zhu Ziyang and Nannan are already Soul Masters, and they're still working so hard. I, a mere Soul Master, can't keep slacking off!"

Tang Ya's gaze was resolute.

"Okay, I support you!" Yu Beibei naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

So the four of them headed towards the Sea God Lake together.

After the four left, the old man who had been lying on the wooden chair suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were cloudy yet deep, and he murmured, "Basic alchemy skills, an interesting little fellow... It's been so many years, I haven't seen such an interesting little fellow in so long..."

The old man closed his eyes again and remained motionless.

Just as Zhu Ziyang had guessed, this old man was no ordinary person; his name was Mu En!

-

That morning.

Zhu Ziyang awoke from his cultivation state, opened his eyes, and a dazzling silver light flashed in his right eye. His face was filled with surprise and joy.

After a month, the abnormality in my right eye finally ended, or rather, it was finally over!

Just as Zhu Ziyang had guessed, the change in his right eye was closely related to the Silver Dragon Wolf. At this moment, although Zhu Ziyang's eyes had returned to normal, a closer look would reveal that his right eye was completely different from his left. His left eye remained the same, but the pupil of his right eye was tinged with faint silver patterns, resembling a simple sketch of a dragon's wing.

If it were merely a superficial change, Zhu Ziyang wouldn't be so excited. His excitement stemmed entirely from the incredibly powerful ability his right eye had gained at this very moment: time freezing!

Yes, time stood still.

Zhu Ziyang can consume a certain amount of mental energy to freeze time in any target within a designated area.

This ability is very similar to the Soul Skill "Frozen Time" of the Silver Dragon Wolf's right arm bone. However, "Frozen Time" is a ranged Soul Skill with a fixed duration, while the time freeze in his right eye can grow. As Zhu Ziyang's strength increases and he develops his eye's abilities, the time freeze will only become longer and longer!

Currently, Zhu Ziyang can freeze the time of a target below the Soul King level for 1 second.

Zhu Ziyang was extremely excited. Including the time stop in his right eye, he now possessed three powerful control skills, including a soul bone skill and a soul ring skill, further enhancing his self-protection ability!

Silver Right Eye – that's the name Zhu Ziyang gave to his mutated eye. He could clearly sense that its secrets went far beyond simply stopping time; its mysteries required further exploration.

There's another small thing: because Silver's right eye is connected to his spiritual sea, he can easily see what's happening inside the spiritual sea even without entering it, which is very convenient.

Zhu Ziyang left the dormitory in a good mood.

As always, he and Yu Beibei waited for Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya in front of the dormitory building. After a month of getting to know each other, they had become good friends.

"Beibei, I've broken through!" Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya appeared at the stairwell. Tang Ya was so excited when she saw Yu Beibei that she ran towards him, jumped onto him, and shouted excitedly. Her voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of passing students. Even Mu En couldn't help but raise his eyelids.

"Really? You broke through? Xiaoya, that's wonderful!" Yu Beibei was overjoyed to hear the news of Tang Ya's breakthrough. She hugged Tang Ya and spun her around a few times before putting her down and saying, "Then we'll go hunt for a spirit ring for you today. I know a place with a ghost vine that's perfect for you."

"Mmm!" Tang Ya said with anticipation. The Ghost Vine was Tang San's ancestor's second spirit ring!

"Congratulations, Xiaoya." Zhu Ziyang sincerely congratulated them after they calmed down.

"Hehehe, class monitor, does this mean I don't have to care about winning or losing in this month's practical class?" Tang Ya said with a joyful voice.

"That's right," Zhu Ziyang nodded and said.

"Okay, Xiaoya, let's talk as we walk!" Tang Ya wanted to say something more, but Jiang Nannan stopped her and said.

The group headed towards Poseidon Lake.
