A Cultivation Amateur With 4.6 Billion Years Of Cultivation - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 The Way To Earn Money

The three of them returned to the Sect.

At this moment, the Sword Sect was still in ruins. In reality, the massacre had only occurred three days ago even though 20 chapters of this novel had been written.

In the past three days, the Loli Sect Master, basically didn’t help much. She only relied on Zeng Jing and Bai Yan to clean up the ruins, hence the slow progress. If she didn’t land, but instead flew across the sky to take a look, she would still see ruins.

After the three of them returned to the ruins, the Loli Sect Master turned to Zeng Jing. “Junior Brother, how do you plan to earn money?”

Zeng Jing spread his hands. “Let’s look for useful things in the ruins first. In the past, our sect was a large sect with hundreds of disciples living in it. There will definitely be a lot of random things that fall in the ruins. Those that haven’t been burned by fire and those that can be used, we’ll clean them up. I’ll see how to make money with these things.”

Bai Yan nodded gently. “Alright, I’ll help Junior Brother clean up the ruins. Junior Sister, hurry up and cultivate. We can’t delay your cultivation because of such trivial matters. You’re our only hope.”

The Loli Sect Master had a long way to go. She nodded and went to meditate in her empty spirit gathering formation. Even though there were no heavenly treasures or earthly

treasures in the formation, her spirit gathering formation was built beside a pond behind the Sect. The spiritual energy in Shu Mountain was very dense, and this pond also contained a dense water-attribute spiritual energy. Water could produce wood, and it was very helpful to her wood-attribute cultivation art.

Only Zeng Jing and Bai Yan were left in the ruins.

The two of them worked together and started rummaging through the trash in the ruins…

Old Fiend Baiyue’s Baiyue Demonic Flame was indeed powerful. Most of the things here had been burned, and even the metal products that could withstand high temperatures had been burned into a pile of paste. All sorts of daily necessities had basically been burned

into scraps.

Zeng Jing thought that he wouldn’t be able to find anything. However, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something big under the pile of charred wood in front of him. He reached out and grabbed it, pulling it out forcefully. A huge copper cauldron that was the size of a small car appeared.

Zeng Jing was surprised. “Eh? This thing isn’t burnt. It seems to be very resistant to

burning. Is this also a pill furnace?”

Bai Yan came over to take a look and said

happily, “This is a weapon refinement cauldron. It’s the same as an alchemy

furnace. It can withstand high temperatures and even the Samadhi True Fire. That’s why it wasn’t burned by Old Fiend Baiyue’s Baiyue Demonic Flame.”

Zeng Jing asked, “Weapon refinement cauldron?”

“It’s something used to refine Dharma

treasures,” Bai Yan explained patiently. “Dharma treasures are our weapons. Not only

can we use them to fight enemies, but we can also use them to fly. For example, the Sect Master Junior Sister’s sword and my dual swords were all refined from this weapon refinement cauldron. Speaking of which… Junior Brother, you’ve already entered the weapon refinement realm, so you also need to refine a Dharma treasure for use. However, our sect’s weapon refinement master has already passed away, so we have to rely on me to refine Dharma treasures in the future. However, my weapon refinement skills are very poor, and the water-attribute cultivation art I cultivate is also unsuitable for refining weapons. I might only be able to help you refine a very basic and lousy Dharma treasure. In the future, you’ll have to rely on your luck to refine better Dharma treasures.”

Zeng Jing couldn’t help but ask, “Are water-attribute cultivation arts not suitable

for refining weapons? In that case, what cultivation art is suitable?”

Bai Yan continued, “Cultivation arts with fire

and metal attributes are suitable for refining

weapons. This is especially so for

fire-attribute cultivation arts. For example, the Blazing Sun Flame Refinement Art you cultivate is the most suitable cultivation art for refining weapons.

Zeng Jing was amused. “In other words, can

my cultivation art walk the path of a master refiner? Then I can refine Dharma treasures for myself.”

Bai Yan said, “Junior Brother, even though

master refiners are very respected, they are considered miscellaneous skills. Learning them will hinder one’s path to immortality. If

you have the will to become an immortal, it’s best that you don’t waste your time on such nonsense. Only those who have no hope of ascending to immortality will become master refiners.”

Zeng Jing mumbled in a low voice, “This is

equivalent to a teacher telling you that if you

are biased toward a subject, you must be biased toward a subject. Students who aren’t biased won’t do well in their studies. This

doesn’t feel right.”

Bai Yan asked curiously, “What are you talking about?”

Zeng Jing looked up. “I’m saying that my

Senior Sister is really wise. I want to listen to Senior Sister.”

Bai Yan did not reply.

Zeng Jing asked, “Can we use this weapon refinement cauldron to refine Dharma treasures and sell them for money?”

Bai Yan shook his head and sighed. “That

won’t do! If I were a master refiner, I would be able to refine high-grade Dharma treasures to sell. However, my ability to refine weapons is very poor. In addition, my water-attribute cultivation art and refining techniques counter each other. The magic treasures I refine like this are no different

from trash. No cultivator is willing to spend money to buy them.”

Zeng Jing nodded, finally understanding.

The two of them temporarily set aside the weapon refinement cauldron and continued to clean up the ruins. However, no matter how they searched, they didn’t find anything useful. Only the weapon refinement cauldron seemed to be somewhat usable.

Bai Yan sighed. “Junior Brother, from the

looks of it, we won’t be able to find a direction even if we want to earn money.” Zeng Jing continued, “As I rummaged

through the ruins, I thought of two ways to earn money. One of them is pill refinement. We have pill furnaces, and since Senior Sister

knows how to refine pills. Even though we don’t have any heavenly treasures and can’t refine truly powerful pills, we can still make

some ordinary pills like healing pills and body-strengthening pills. We can sell these pills in the cities outside the mountains and earn some money.”

Bai Yan said, “That’s a good idea, but I don’t really know how to sell things.” Zeng Jing patted his chest. “I’ll be in charge

of selling. I’ve participated in charity auctions

in school before. Heh, I’m quite good at selling things.”

Bai Yan asked curiously, “What is a charity auction?”

“Err… this… it’s not easy to explain. It’s

better to grasp the main point and talk about how to earn money.” Zeng Jing continued, “The second method is hunting. When I have

time, I’ll go to the forest to take a look. We can sell ordinary prey for money, or we can eat them ourselves and use leather to make clothes. If we manage to hunt demonic beasts like bear demon gallbladders, we might be able to sell them for a good price.” Bai Yan replied, “Nonsense. You’ve just reached the Foundation Establishment Realm and entered the elementary stage of the Qi

Refinement Realm. Don’t even think about things like the bear demon gallbladder. Last time, we might have all died in the valley if it wasn’t for the help we received from the Handsome Sect.”

Zeng Jing said, “Yes, yes, yes. Senior Sister is

right. In that case, I’ll just hunt some ordinary wild beasts. Wild boars, wild rabbits,

and the like. There shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Bai Yan nodded. “That won’t be a problem, but… this will also delay your cultivation and accumulate heavenly tribulations. Sigh, I’m very worried that after doing so many miscellaneous tasks, you won’t be able to attain the Heavenly Dao in the future.” Zeng Jing smiled. “In any case, my aptitude

isn’t very good, so I won’t force it. If I can become an immortal, then I’ll advance. If I can’t, then forget it. In any case, I came here to learn cultivation arts so that I can ride a sword and fly in the sky, acting cool.”

Bai Yan fell into a daze for a while and sighed softly. “If there’s even a little hope of ascending to an immortal, we shouldn’t give up. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too cruel to those who don’t have the aptitude to ascend to an immortal?”

It was obvious that she was thinking of the

problem with her aptitude. The deep regret between her brows made one’s heart ache.
