I Must Lead Junior Brother Ouyang Astray!

Looking at the various rare and unique pill formulas that Tantai Jing had sent him, Chu Xinghe was so angry that his eyes welled up with tears...

So, Tantai Jing is making a killing, huh?

What the hell do you mean by dragging me Chu Xinghe, into this to make a killing for you, Tantai Jing?

Don't you understand what it means to be struck by lightning for recruiting people to make money?

If you want to earn money, then earn it yourself. Why should you drag others down with you?

Don't you even ask them if they want to make money?

Look at these unfortunate prescriptions that Tantai Jing sent over...

When Mu Bai arrived here after receiving the news, his eyes practically lit up when he saw these pill formulas!

It's worth noting that the Spirit Alchemist Alliance has managed to exist for so many years, and even the Alchemist Alliance couldn't completely eradicate it, so it must have some merit.

Over the years, the Spirit Alchemist Alliance has used various underhanded and ruthless methods to ruin countless alchemists, causing their families to be destroyed.

Many of these pill formulas were discovered by cultivators in ancient ruins and secret realms, and were obtained by the Spirit Alchemist Alliance through various methods.

What the heck? You say there are so many good things, why didn't the Spirit Alchemist Alliance make a killing?

Friend... why didn't you get a perfect score on your math test when you had your math book with you?

Aren't the answers to the test questions all in the book?

Therefore, not all alchemists can understand these prescriptions.

Let alone the Spirit Alchemist Alliance, even Mu Bai himself said that many of the pill formulas he read needed careful consideration, as he was unsure about some of them!

Even Mu Bai wasn't sure, so if the Spirit Alchemist Alliance could handle it so easily, they wouldn't need to resort to petty theft.

But the key issue now isn't these prescriptions, it's that damn Tantai Jing...

Why would you do something so incredibly stupid...?

I, Chu Xinghe, have some past grievances with you Tantai Jing...

But ever since you, Tantai Jing your life to save me last time, aren't we considered friends now...?

What the hell is this – you become friends one minute, and then stab them in the back the next?

What? You Demonic Sect only betray your friends? You don't betray those who aren't friends?

I, Chu Xinghe, never dreamed that I would be betrayed by Tantai Jing...

However, Chu Xinghe told everyone to stay calm!

Although Little Tantai Jing has sent so many pill formulas that could make a fortune, won't all of these formulas need to be tested?

Some of them aren't even tested once or twice; there will inevitably be a wave of failures eventually, right?

Therefore, for the time being, these prescriptions are just a pile of paper and cannot be converted into real resources!

Therefore, Chu Xinghe remained calm!

I, Chu Xinghe, am a man who has seen my share of storms and battles. Tantai Jing's Chu Xinghe move this time is not enough to cause my complete collapse!

This time, take a look at my Misfortune Compass!

Do you all think that after Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce made a killing, my Chu Xinghe Misfortune Compass has started to turn around?

Hmph!

Absolutely wrong! The Misfortune Compass is still spinning normally at this very moment!

What the hell? I, Chu Xinghe, have made this much money, so why is the Misfortune Compass still spinning?

It's very simple... because I still have a stable number of loss-making projects!

First of all, Ma Liang is consuming Dragon Heart Pills every day. The cost of making these Dragon Heart Pill is so high that even the rich would cry. So, my Junior Brother Ma Liang personally transformed into Lucky General Ma, so you tell me, isn't the production of Dragon Heart Pills a guaranteed loss?

Besides the Dragon Heart Pill, my fellow Body Cultivation are no joke either...

Although Qu Yifeng and the others had come to him many times, Chu Xinghe only said one thing, "All of you, stay put and study formations properly in the Formation Senior Brother Xinghe Formation Spirit Palace... I know what's wrong with you. Just keep the resources in check and leave the rest to Senior Brother Xinghe."

Therefore, the Body Cultivation disciples consume an astronomical amount of energy every day in the Formation Spirit Palace!

In addition, there is Ouyang Ming...

Ouyang Ming is in great danger lately... Ever since he invented the air conditioner that has swept across the Four Continents, the name Ouyang Ming has been completely remembered throughout the Four Continents.

Believe it or not, Ouyang Ming's fame now is even greater than when he became Divine Master!

What the hell? Isn't this outrageous?

That's not far-fetched at all. When Ouyang Ming became Artifact Refining Divine Master, it seemed to shake the Four Continents, but to put it bluntly, Ouyang Ming's fame was mainly in the weapon refining world and among high-level cultivators!

Ordinary people, let alone master Artifact Refining Divine Master, don't even know what weapon refining is. So what does it matter to ordinary people what a master Artifact Refining Divine Master represents?

Let alone ordinary people, even a typical cultivator would be lucky to buy two spiritual treasures from the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce in their entire lifetime. So what does the title of Divine Master have to do with these cultivators?

So, is it necessary for ordinary cultivators to know who the Divine Master is?

No matter how amazing you, Ouyang Ming, are, what does that have to do with us?

But now, as the creator of air conditioning, Ouyang Ming's name is absolutely renowned Four Continents. Nowadays, anyone who has used an air conditioner cannot possibly not know the name Ouyang Ming!

Look around the Four Continents now, in all those restaurants and taverns, it's thanks to Ouyang Ming's air conditioning that countless people have found a bit of coolness in this sweltering summer.

So people often talk about air conditioning during their leisure time.

"I wonder when Master Ouyang will be able to release an even more energy-efficient air conditioner..."

"I heard they might build one later, but my second uncle's family recently bought the luxury version. It's not just beautiful, the effect is absolutely amazing!"

In Four Continents today, air conditioning has become an indispensable household appliance!

I've heard that these days, the first question a matchmaker asks a girl looking for a boyfriend is whether the man's new house has air conditioning!

I heard that if the guy's house doesn't have air conditioning, his chances of succeeding in blind dates are greatly reduced!

Therefore, it is precisely because of the existence of air conditioning that Ouyang Ming's reputation has truly soared throughout the entire Four Continents.

If you say you don't know Ouyang Ming, then your house definitely doesn't have air conditioning!

It was precisely because of his rising fame that Ouyang Ming was incredibly excited. These days, Ouyang Ming was working himself to the bone at the Artifact Refining Palace, researching all sorts of weapon forging techniques!

Qingyan, Ouyang Ming's side is almost ready to get results!

Chu Xinghe was so scared by this that he peed his pants!

Could it be that Ouyang Ming has suddenly jumped into the Concept Level?

The Vast Heaven Holy Land is already in such a state; we can't afford to have another Concept God!

Our Vast Heaven Holy Land is already rife with Concept Gods. If Ouyang Ming were to become Concept God as well, tell me, would I, Chu Xinghe, even survive?

Therefore, upon receiving the news, Chu Xinghe personally made a trip to the Artifact Refining Palace.

Seeing Ouyang Ming so engrossed in weapon crafting, Chu Xinghe declared, "As his senior brother, it's my responsibility to lead Ouyang Ming astray!"

What the hell? Don't you think it's a bit too outrageous for me, Chu Xinghe, to treat my junior brother like this?

Did you even consider that my junior brother is already a Divine Master...?

Can my Junior Brother Ouyang be treated the same as the other junior brothers?

My Junior Brother Ouyang, the Divine Master, how far could he possibly stray from the right path?

Therefore, Chu Xinghe sought out Ouyang Ming, who was diligently studying and striving to break through to the Concept Level of the Divine Master.

"Senior Brother Xinghe... I've been starting to get some inspiration lately, and I think I'm about to grasp Concept Level idea!"

Ouyang Ming was also very excited at this moment.

"Ouyang... so at your current pace, how long do you think it will take to reach the Concept Level?"

"Ten years? Or... twenty years?" Ouyang Ming didn't know... After all, that was a realm that weapon refiners had never reached before!

"Wrong! If you continue down this path, you'll never reach the Concept Level in your lifetime!"

Ouyang Ming: "???"

Seeing Ouyang Ming's bewildered expression, Chu Xinghe spoke up, "Ouyang... you yourself said that the Concept Level in weapon crafting is a level that has never existed in the weapon crafting world before... so how can you possibly reach the Concept Level if you follow the normal development path of a weapon crafter?"

"You're constantly researching weapon crafting now, but no matter how much you research, theoretically you're still within the scope of weapon crafting. If we compare weapon crafting to a circle, shouldn't the Concept Level be outside that circle?"

Ouyang Ming nodded vigorously, indicating that Senior Brother Xinghe made a very good point!

"Since you're outside the circle, how can you research things at the Concept Level within the circle?"

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's words, Ouyang Ming immediately fell into deep thought. Not only Ouyang Ming, but even Ouyang Qingyan, who was listening in, nodded in agreement!

Ouyang Qingyan said, "Although Senior Brother Xinghe may not fully understand weapon crafting, I, Ouyang Qingyan, still understand the principle that different paths lead to the same goal. Today, Senior Brother Xinghe is not talking about weapon crafting, but about the Dao!"

"Ouyang, as the saying goes, 'No destruction, no construction.' To break out of the circle, you must first break it. So, what you're currently refining is still within the circle. Therefore, you must calm down and think carefully about how to create something outside the circle!"

Seeing Ouyang Ming fall into deep thought again, Chu Xinghe said it was settled!

Look at the utterly bewildered look on my Junior Brother Ouyang's face!

What do you mean by "inside the circle" or "outside the circle"... That's all just something I Chu Xinghe, made up on the spot... I don't know anything about "inside the circle" or "outside the circle".

My main goal was to put my Junior Brother Ouyang into a state of confusion...

Look at my Junior Brother Ouyang's eyes, aren't they incredibly confused...?

My Junior Brother Ouyang is a huge help to me whenever he's feeling lost!

Otherwise, with my Junior Brother Ouyang's crafting skills, he's been forging all sorts of magical treasures every day. I don't know if Ouyang Ming has broken through to the Concept Level, but with Ouyang Ming making such a racket, it would be very difficult for me, Chu Xinghe, to level up!

Now, after Laozi uttered a string of words that even he himself didn't understand, Ouyang Ming was completely dumbfounded...

How did Ouyang Ming, in such a bewildered state, manage to reach the Concept Level?

So Ouyang Ming's side is completely won this round!

Just as Chu Xinghe had finished dealing with Ouyang Ming, Senior Brother Shen Chun suddenly popped out from who-knows-where!

"Junior Brother Xinghe... the Grand Elder requests your presence!"

"Good thing or bad thing?"

"It's hard to say!"

Chu Xinghe was stunned when he heard the words "it's hard to say." What the hell was that?!
