Luo Can Pushed open the Stone Chamber door that was specially set aside for the two apprentices. Looking at the piles of waste gems and refined iron blocks on the ground like a hill, I couldn't help but feel a little headache.
For more than half a month, the two little girls have followed Ju Zi to learn and carve Soul Tool Array. The progress is indeed visible to the naked eye, but the speed of making money is also frighteningly fast.
The hundreds of gems and fine iron blocks he had prepared for them had now been reduced to less than 10%, but the two of them could only carve out a complete magic circle on the larger gems and iron blocks.
At this moment, the two little girls were lying on the stone table, concentrating on carving patterns with their carving knives, and they didn't even notice that he came in.
Luo Can leaned over and took a look. Ye Lingling has made greater progress. It can already carve a complete Energy Gathering Array on a gemstone the size of a fingernail. However, Dugu Yan is still worse. It can only complete the engraving on gemstones smaller than a fist, and often makes mistakes.
He just stood aside and watched without making a sound, until both of them put down their knives.
Ye Lingling held the newly carved gem and poured a trace of soul power into it. The gem instantly lit up with a faint blue light, and the soul power in the surrounding air slowly gathered towards the gem.
Dugu Yan on the other side also poured soul power into his own gem. As a result, the gem only flashed twice and then disappeared, leaving no light at all.
"Senior sister, I failed again." Dugu Yan drooped his head and threw the waste gem into the scrap pile next to him with a frustrated look.
Ye Lingling put down the finished product in his hand, patted her shoulder and consoled her. "Didn't Sister Ju Zi say that if you want to be Soul Engineer, the most indispensable thing is patience. She also said that as long as you can carve a complete magic circle on a gemstone the size of a fingernail within six months, you will have the talent to be Soul Engineer. We have only been practicing for more than half a month."
"Well, that's right." Dugu Yan thought for a while, cheered up again, and grinned, "Senior sister is still amazing, she has already succeeded eight times!"
Hearing this, Ye Lingling also showed a little pride on her face. When she successfully carved a usable Energy Gathering Array for the first time, Ju Zi praised her and said that her talent in Soul Tool was particularly good.
"Lingling, Yanyan, master is looking forward to the day when you two become Soul Engineer." Luo Can said with a smile.
Only then did the two little girls realize that he was coming. They stood up quickly and shouted in unison, "Master!"
Luo Can sat down next to them, picked up the discarded gems on the table and looked at them one by one. After inspecting the finished products of the two of them in the past half month, he could also see that Ye Lingling's works were much more delicate than Dugu Yan's.
Also, Ye Lingling is originally Auxiliary System Spirit Master. He is born with more precise control over soul power. When he learns to draw formations, he will naturally get started faster.
"They're all good, keep up the good work." Luo Can smiled and put the gems back. "If the gems and iron blocks are not enough, just tell the master and I will replenish them for you."
"Thank you, master!" The two little girls quickly thanked them.
"By the way, don't fall behind in your cultivation. Don't delay your soul power cultivation by just carving formation patterns." Luo Can warned again.
"I know, Master!"
Luo Can nodded, did not disturb them any more, turned around and left Stone Chamber, walked out of Fate Defying Valley, and went to Baican Village's Fate Defying Pavilion station to take a look at the construction status of the sect.
Time passed quickly, and it was evening in a flash.
When Luo Can returned to Fate Defying Valley, Qian Renxue and Ju Zi had completed their absorption and were sitting in the stone pavilion by the lake waiting for him.
After Qian Renxue absorbed Sheng Huan Pill, Soul Ring Configuration directly changed from four purple, four black and one red to three purple, five black and one red. His soul power also increased, and he was one step closer to level ninety-six.
Ju Zi is even more exaggerated. He directly upgraded to three levels in a row. His soul power broke through to level 67 in one fell swoop, and his spiritual power also increased a lot.
In the evening, the two girls were in high spirits and wanted to "repay" Luo Can. As soon as Luo Can and Qian Renxue finished their "discussion", Ju Zi pulled her into the house. They struggled until the middle of the night before escaping from the hands of the two witches.
He squatted by the lake, washed his face with cold Fate-Defying Lake Water, rubbed his sore waist, and couldn't help but sigh, "If this continues, my waist will break! This is not a blessing for everyone, it is simply torture!"
After he finished complaining, he took out his fishing rod and threw it into the lake, using Fishing to relax his mind.
A night of silence.
For the next few days, Luo Can had to deal with the two girls taking turns "discussing" every night. The two of them were satisfied, but he himself was squeezed to the last drop.
Fortunately, as time passed, the frequency of "discussions" between the two of them stabilized, and Luo Can was finally able to cope with it with ease, without having to support her waist every day.
Ten days later.
Early that morning, as soon as Luo Can finished Fishing, he gave Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan a day off, and took the two girls out of the valley. He handed over his two young apprentices to Ye Qingyu, and went to the drug store in the town.
After completing the routine supply of missing medicinal materials and checking this month's account books, Luo Can asked about the new batch of store clerks.
"I have no problem identifying medicinal materials, but I am still very unfamiliar with things like handling medicinal materials and receiving customers and selling medicines. If I want them to take charge of their own business, it will take at least a month or two." Bai Ningshuang replied truthfully.
"Well, we have to let them familiarize themselves with the process as soon as possible." Luo Can nodded, "According to my plan, in half a year, we will open branches in other cities, initially at Suotuo City and Nuoding City."
"Pavilion Master Don't worry, my brother and I will speed up the training of them, and it will definitely not delay the opening of the branch." Bai Ningshuang immediately assured seriously.
Luo Can nodded, stood up and left the drug store. He knew very well that now that Yaowang Town was so big, the drug store's business had reached its peak, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make more money, so he had to expand and expand.
Now Fate Defying Pavilion costs money everywhere. It costs money to study Soul Tool. It costs money to build a sect. It also costs money to distribute cultivation resources to disciples. There are more and more places to spend money. The little savings he has in hand will soon be emptied if he doesn't think of ways to make money.
It was also because of this that he had discussed with Qian Renxue and Ju Zi for several days before deciding to distribute the medicine to Suotuo City and Nuoding City first.
Late that night, the three of them sat in the room and had an "in-depth communication". Although the process was a bit strenuous, they finally finalized the matter of opening a branch.
"There is no shortage of medicinal materials in the valley, but there is a shortage of people who can make medicines. You can't let your husband squat in Alchemy Room every day just to make those healing and recovery medicines in the drug store, right?" Qian Renxue lay on his side on Luo Can's arm and stroked his chest with his fingertips.
"Then let's recruit people! Or we can select a group of thoughtful people from the Ye Clan and train them to be medicine refiners." Ju Zi was lying on the other side, half of his body resting on Luo Can, and answered lazily.
"By the way, I remembered." Qian Renxue suddenly sat up, his eyes lit up, "Don't Clear Sky Sect have four affiliated sects? Among them, Breaking Clan is the best at refining medicine and poisoning, and they have long been resentful of the Clear Sky Sect. We can just pull them over and let them make medicine for us."
"Then what if they refuse to surrender?" Ju Zi blinked and asked.
"Refuse? Then kill him." Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, "Since you can't be used by us, if you keep him, you will provide helpers to Tang San. This kind of person must not be kept."
"In this case, the other three sects cannot stay." Ju Zi also sat up and said seriously, "Either submit to us, or get rid of them directly to avoid causing us trouble in the future."
After the two of them finished speaking, they turned to look at Luo Can lying in the middle, and asked in unison, "Husband, what do you think?"
