Chapter 411: Strive to Earn Money
"I am truly grateful to you, younger sister," Xia Liu expressed his sincere gratitude.
For those two aristocratic families, the safest place might be Immeasurable Island.
Because Immeasurable Island possesses that powerful Island Protection Formation, which even Xia Liu cannot break through. It's an immensely strong formation.
Xia Liu knew who had set up the great formation on Immeasurable Island—it must have been the founder, Master Qingcheng.
Although he did not know how powerful Master Qingcheng's cultivation was, to be able to set up such a formidable formation, not to mention Earth-Rank Warriors, even if a hundred Warriors at the Heavenly Rank Peak appeared, they couldn't break it.
Thus, the girls going to Immeasurable Island would indeed be in an exceedingly safe existence.
"I truly hope that day will never come," Lin Xiaotian murmured softly.
"That's beyond our control now. If they truly intend to cause trouble, I don't mind shaking Yanjing to its core," a blood-red flash passed through Xia Liu's eyes, the extent of the commotion would only be known at the moment it happened.
Bai Lili watched Xia Liu and Lin Xiaotian calmly, sensing a faint murderous intent emanating from both.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to cultivate and strive to break through to the third level of Qi Cultivation!" Lin Xiaotian, who had been at the peak of second level for a long time, could hardly wait.
This time in seclusion, he was determined to break through to the third level of Qi Cultivation!
Currently, he could kill an Earth-Rank Primary-Level Warrior, but he wasn't satisfied. The enemies of Xia Liu in the future would definitely not be weak.
Thus, he needed to return to his former strength, or else he wouldn't be able to do anything for Xia Liu.
Xia Liu did not continue to bother Lin Xiaotian, returning to the villa to eagerly discuss and analyse the human code with the girls.
After spending a crazy morning with the girls, Xia Liu finally left the house.
He could not stop now; he must do everything possible to enhance his strength.
Because he felt that among those two martial families, there might exist Heaven-Rank Warriors.
Although he had never encountered Heaven-Rank Warriors, Xia Liu could imagine that such warriors must be extremely formidable.
Because they possess Inner Strength!
Strength!
Tangible strength!
On the path of a martial artist, once Inner Qi is transformed into Inner Strength, one's overall power will elevate to a terrifying degree.
Though Earth-Rank Warriors currently dominate, that's because the Heaven-Rank Warriors do not appear.
Once a Heaven-Rank Warrior appears, Earth-Rank Warriors are nothing but dust to be brushed away casually.
The difference between Heaven-Rank Warriors and Earth-Rank Warriors is that between Inner Qi and Inner Strength—like heaven and earth.
Xia Liu knew his own power; against Earth-Rank Warriors he could crush them easily, but facing a Heavenly Rank Peak or higher warrior, with his current cultivation, he could not kill them without using Spirit Art.
But once he used Spirit Art, the secret of cultivators would be exposed. If the news got out, his future would become even more troubled.
Therefore, without the certainty of killing the opponent, Spirit Art could not be used lightly.
As for the third Spirit Stabilizing Needle, it couldn't be removed until his Divine Sense was strengthened, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
After this auction, Xia Liu understood that if he wanted to improve his cultivation by buying Spirit Grass, he would need much more money.
This time, if he hadn't been lucky to encounter narcissistic warriors like Shi Hentian, thirty billion or so in currency would definitely not have been enough to buy that stone and the Condensing Energy Grass.
Luck!
If only his luck were a little better, it would have been great to come across some Spirit Grass in the mountains.
Unfortunately, matters of luck are uncertain; now the only reliable thing to do is to earn money earnestly, then visit various places to check, and once he finds any Spirit Grass, to buy it.
At that time, only Longteng, Longyun, and the distillery were profitable. The group's development was heavily investing at the moment and it would take about a year or two before seeing substantial profits.
Xia Liu had to think about restarting his money-making strategies.
Of course, the distillery required attention, as a bottle of Osmanthus Wine could sell for fifty thousand pieces. Producing a thousand bottles a day would yield an enormous profit.
This money would definitely be shared with the villagers, who didn't need much money for now, so it was preferable to buy Spirit Grass first if Osmanthus Group was being drained.
Then it would be gradually replenished later, and Xia Liu was confident about it.
Xia Liu first visited the distillery, where Li Dazhuang and the others were busy, all with smiles on their faces, working daily in the fragrance of wine, they didn't feel tired at all.
Xia Liu didn't disturb them, just quietly watched at the door for a while before he left.
In the medicinal wine area, the storage pools were empty, either because Tianluo Pharmaceutical had picked it up today, or these past few days they didn't lack stock.
Then Xia Liu left the distillery discreetly and headed to the hills where the Osmanthus Chickens were bred to check on them.
Everything was as usual here, with Osmanthus Chickens running all over the hills and several women sweeping with brooms.
Later, Xia Liu went to the Osmanthus Wine packaging factory, which was operating at that moment. Li Dazhuang, as the manager, was inspecting the workshop.
The workers were about eight young men.
"Dazhuang!"
"Brother Xia Liu, you're here." Seeing Xia Liu call out to him, Li Dazhuang immediately came over.
"Who are they?"
"They are all younger brothers from a generation younger than us, some went to work right after junior high, others after high school, and only recently returned to the village."
Xia Liu nodded in realization; no wonder he hadn't seen them before, they were all younger fellows from the same village.
"Brother Xia Liu!" The eight young men also noticed Xia Liu and promptly stood up to shout.
Since they had just returned from working outside and saw the changes in the village and heard from their families, they learned about Xia Liu's legend.
As for this formidable legendary figure, they nearly dropped their jaws in awe.
They still remembered, a few years ago, when they were still in school, Xia Liu was a few grades higher than them.
Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
Originally having a harmonious family, due to a bizarre incident, his grandparents and parents all died, leaving him alone.
When he reappeared after disappearing for a few years, he already possessed such skills, becoming a legendary figure in the village and the county.
Admirable!
"Hello…" Seeing the eight young men, Xia Liu smiled slightly; not having seen them for several years, these youths who used to be only up to his waist had grown up, how the hell could he know who was who...
Then Li Dazhuang led Xia Liu to the storage room of the packaging factory to check.
"Heh heh, really not bad, there are already ten thousand bottles of Osmanthus Wine!" Xia Liu was slightly surprised after hearing Li Dazhuang's report.
These in front of him were worth several billion Huaxia currency.
"And that's not all, I also transported a thousand bottles to the headquarters two days ago."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Xia Liu asked, puzzled.
"Osmanthus Wine was promoted in Liuhai City. After we limited the supply to those two distributors, customers who know about Osmanthus Wine started coming directly to our group."
"Haha! That's great news." Xia Liu kept laughing with joy, those two guys from Liu Hai City were really effective, allowing customers to know about Hejing; it seemed that Yang Tian and his team hadn't held back.
"Uh, by the way, Brother Xia Liu, a few days ago Miss Liu Lanxin from Tianluo Pharmaceutical called you…"
