Chapter 487: Chapter 487

"What’s going on here?"

"How could anyone be willing to give away Spirit Stones for free? Old Yu, be honest with us, are you really not selling us out?"

Old Yu curled his lip, his catfish-like moustache sticking up high. "Are you silly? Selling you would only be worth ten Spirit Stones? The money I have is for guaranteeing you guys. If you break the rules, they’ll come to me for payback!"

Seeing a group of Demon Cultivators with wide eyes staring at him, he let out a sigh and said, "You all saw it with your own eyes. Miss Chan Yu isn’t poisonous at all, proving that all those previous rumors were false. She clearly has a knack for making money, yet got trapped and misunderstood by rumors. Think about why such rumors exist?"

Chan Yu, feeling guilty upon hearing this, lowered her head quietly and corrected herself inwardly: Actually, she is poisonous, just using a Magical Treasure to conceal her aura.

All the Demon Cultivators glanced over at once; the infamous frightful toxin indeed wasn’t surrounded by poison gas. Instead, they saw a plump, kind-faced, but shy young girl.

"I can’t believe someone made up these rumors, fooling us for so many years!"

"Ha! Must be those merchants outside trying to buy our painstakingly collected herbs cheaply! If there hadn’t been rumors, we’d have been making a fortune by now!"

Old Yu started calculating on his fingers, "Think about it carefully, free teaching of techniques, free Jade Bottles. Once the toxins are extracted fully, they buy it back with Spirit Stones.

We get techniques and equipment for free; all it costs is time and effort. This is a business without capital. As Miss Chan Yu said, if diligent and careful, it’s easy to refine ten bottles a month.

The purchase price for each bottle is two hundred Spirit Stones, five of which go to Miss Chan Yu, leaving one hundred ninety-five for you. Ten bottles means one thousand nine hundred fifty! In the swamp, can you find anything more profitable?"

Chan Yu still felt guilty, continuing to correct herself in her mind: Although it’s ancestral, it’s not some profound technique, merely the method devised by ancestors for cultivation by consuming toxins, asking Pharmacists for ways to handle toxins.

It’s just that Demon Cultivators in the swamp have never been outside, lacking in experience. It’s actually easy to learn...

The Demon Cultivators gasped upon hearing this, realizing a month’s hard work could yield two thousand Spirit Stones, nearly ten times what they used to earn!

"What’s Miss, oh no, Miss Chan Yu aiming for by spreading her ancestral technique ?" One Demon Cultivator didn’t understand and asked quietly.

Old Yu glared at him, "How foolish! Can’t you calculate it? There are more than twenty of us learning toxin extraction, each extracting ten bottles a month. Miss Chan Yu earns over a thousand Spirit Stones with just five Spirit Stones taken from each person. This is a long-term business!"

He scanned the busy Demon Cultivators registering to receive introduction fees, while the other Demon Cultivators suddenly realized.

No wonder they’re paying money upfront for registration. The more friends join, the more toxins are extracted, so Miss Chan Yu earns thousands of Spirit Stones each month even if she does nothing!

Miss Chan Yu continued to feel guilty, silently correcting herself: Actually, Jiang Yuan buys each bottle for three hundred Spirit Stones, so I earn one hundred and five Spirit Stones per bottle...

Thinking of this, she felt her breath quicken and her complexion slightly pale, stealing glances at the endless stream of Demon Cultivators coming to register, finally realizing how much she’d earn once all members start extracting and selling toxins!

One member can extract ten bottles of toxin a month, handing over one thousand fifty, and ten members mean ten thousand five hundred...

Miss Chan Yu felt a sudden chill in the back of her head, as if something hit her, causing her body to tremble slightly.

If thousands of Spirit Stones were earned each month, Magical Treasures, Elixirs, and Weapons would be easily within reach. Oh, even using Spirit Stones for cultivation could offset the swamp’s excessive toxins and lack of Spiritual Energy.

At this thought, her likability skyrocketed, even making Jiang Yuan a bit numb.

"The urgent thing is to quickly find reliable friends and family! Introduce one, and you get ten Spirit Stones!" Old Yu stomped his feet anxiously, afraid others might snatch the benefits first, urging everyone to act, at least get some shiny Spirit Stones in their pocket for comfort!"

Jiang Yuan was busy registering and handing out money;

Miss Chan Yu organized the eager Demon Cultivators wanting to learn the technique and extract toxins to make money, strictly following the procedure Jiang Yuan helped establish, swearing by Daoxin one by one, finally teaching the technique earnestly under huge profit temptation.

More Demon Cultivators thought to earn easy introduction fees first, casting fervent looks at those distant onlookers.

To their eyes, all these friendly cultivators had turned into gleaming Spirit Stones. Convince one, and you get ten; convince ten, and you make a hundred!

"Wow, there are genuinely so many cultivators who aren’t afraid of dying. Who knows what trick that little toxin creature used to fool them so they don’t know their own name!"

"So many cultivators here, still not taking action?"

"Could they really plan to wipe us out?"

"Hey, look! That human cultivator is handing out Spirit Stones! So many Spirit Stones..."

The Demon Cultivators waiting to delight in the spectacle didn’t get to see the toxin creature harming anyone. Instead, more and more were receiving Spirit Stones, and even more enthusiasts were joining the mix.

This scene was indeed hard to comprehend. When the Demon Cultivators trying to earn introduction fees rushed over enthusiastically, many only half-believed, feeling a bit intrigued.

Amidst the buzz outside, Miss Chan Yu had already finished teaching the simplest technique for scorpion toxin extraction.

This idea was given by Jiang Yuan: Teaching disciples often spells doom for masters. Never teach everything all at once without holding back, for things easily acquired aren’t appreciated; and lengthy teaching sessions may cause impatient cultivators to lose interest.

Without a long learning period, immediate input and output ensure the first batch of Demon Cultivators experiencing profit can serve as examples to entice more members.

The whole swamp buzzed for three days before the membership fever slightly subdued.

"Miss Chan Yu, we’ve extracted a bottle of toxin. Could you have a look?" Some Demon Cultivators realized their individual extractions weren’t much, but everyone’s scorpion toxin extraction was similar. Together, each contributing a part to see if they’d get Spirit Stones.

She had just finished teaching the technique, and after three days of practice, they no longer stammered while communicating with others. On hearing this, she took the full bottle of toxin, sensed it a bit, and nodded, "You extracted it well. In the future... just extract it to this standard."

After registering the toxin, she took one hundred ninety-five Spirit Stones from the Storage Bag Jiang Yuan gifted and handed them over. "This is your reward."

"We can truly earn loads of Spirit Stones!"

"Oh my, now we can live a better life, eating well and living well!"

Though there wasn’t much after dividing, this was only the start. After getting skilled, they could purify more toxin and earn more!

With a precedent, it’s no wonder other Demon Cultivators grew envious. After years of poverty, who wouldn’t want more Spirit Stones, to have a bulging purse? The source of thɪs content is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩

This time, no more need for painstaking persuading; many even cleverly proposed registering under others’ names and offering two Spirit Stones from the five as a rebate.

Tempted by profit, almost the entire swamp’s Demon Cultivators joined in, quickly forming a new toxin production and sales chain.

[Title Earned: Philanthropic Benefactor. Would you like to equip it?]

[Warm-heartedly alleviating poverty, significant assistance effect, driving numerous Demon Cultivators to create a production and sales chain, leading Mist Barrier Swamp Demon Cultivators to prosperity. Equipping the title enhances benevolence and mercy, virtue +500.]

Jiang Yuan had just finished registering another batch of new members when the system suddenly popped up a notification. The new title emitted intense golden light, carrying a sense of divinity.

Should I try wearing it?
