Pill Tycoon Gu Shengge

Gu Shengge, the Pill Tycoon

Dueling Zone lounge.

The teacher in charge of the Dueling Zone handed half of the ticket proceeds from this duel to Gu Shengge. This was academy policy: the revenue from every duel ticket sale was split into two portions, one for the academy and one for the victor.

Gu Shengge promptly handed the duel earnings to Jiang Nannan. Raising a hand to stroke the girl's rabbit ears, he smiled. "Little housekeeper, this is what I earned today. Make sure you keep it safe."

Feeling the boy's gentle touch, Jiang Nannan rather enjoyed it. When she heard him call her his little housekeeper, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face. Her grip tightened around the money pouch as she put it away, and she let out a soft whimper.

"Mm~"

"Let's go back."

Seeing the girl's shy appearance, Gu Shengge's eyes revealed traces of affection. He reached out and took Jiang Nannan's fair wrist. Jiang Nannan nodded gently, allowing him to lead her out of the lounge.

The sight of them leaving hand in hand happened to be seen by Wu Feng, Nanmen Yuner, and the others.

Seeing the class monitor holding another girl's hand as they chatted and laughed their way out, Nanmen Yuner's desire to step forward and greet him was extinguished. Her beautiful eyes dimmed.

"Young Mistress, who's that woman? She's so close to the class monitor!"

Seeing Jiang Nannan leaning against Gu Shengge's shoulder, Wu Feng was also surprised by her identity. She was unexpectedly so intimate with the class monitor.

Ning Tian glanced at Jiang Nannan's exquisite, peerlessly beautiful face and answered, "That's the number one beauty of the Outer Court, Jiang Nannan. She's very famous in the Outer Court. I never expected her to have a relationship with the class monitor."

The number one beauty of the Outer Court. Hearing that title, Nanmen Yuner's heart sank slightly, and her gaze grew even dimmer.

Wu Feng noticed Nanmen Yuner's unusual reaction and sighed. Well, that was that. Her beautiful dream had shattered before it had even begun.

On the other side, because of the dormitory rules forbidding male students from entering the female dormitories, Gu Shengge only escorted Jiang Nannan to the bottom of her dorm building before saying goodbye.

Before leaving, Jiang Nannan kissed Gu Shengge's left cheek again, making it symmetrical.

After retracing his route, Gu Shengge returned to Dorm 209.

"Brother Gu! You're freaking incredible! You knocked Xu Sanshi down with one punch!"

The moment he returned to the dorm, Han Yue rushed up to Gu Shengge with an excited expression. His eyes shone with worship as he looked at Gu Shengge like an idol, immediately showering him with praise.

Gu Shengge raised a hand to hold back Han Yue, who was trying to get even closer, his expression full of disgust. "Men and men shouldn't touch so freely. Let's keep some distance, or people might get the wrong idea."

How could Han Yue fail to understand what he meant? He hurriedly stated that he was a normal boy and not into men.

Yet he still could not suppress his excitement. After all, Gu Shengge had truly stolen the spotlight today. Without using his Martial Soul, he had knocked Xu Sanshi out with a single punch and flattened the Outer Court's number one defense. He was simply too formidable!

As Gu Shengge's number one lackey, Han Yue felt honored by association. The students he had invited today had all looked at him with envious eyes.

Seeing Han Yue so excited, Gu Shengge shook his head helplessly. He was the one who had beaten Xu Sanshi, so why did Han Yue look even happier than he was?

He told Han Yue to quiet down because he had serious business to handle.

The moment Han Yue heard that his boss had business to attend to, he considerately left the dorm and gave Gu Shengge the space.

Gu Shengge sat cross-legged on the bed. Two jade bottles appeared in his hand, and he poured out the Blackwater Pill and the Soul Ascension Pill within.

The Blackwater Pill was dark blue and as large as a cherry, with many white patterns across its surface. Once it left the porcelain bottle, a faint mist of water spread around it, carrying a fresh fragrance that soothed the heart.

The Soul Ascension Pill was considerably larger than the Blackwater Pill, about the size of a walnut. It emitted a faint fragrance. Its surface was emerald green, and a hazy glow seemed to flow within it. Crystal clear, it brimmed with the aura of life.

Looking at the two pills in his palm, Gu Shengge did not intend to consume them. He wanted to understand them.

A streak of incomparably dazzling platinum-white light emerged, enveloping the Blackwater Pill and Soul Ascension Pill. The Creation Laws spread forth, and after a long while, the composition of both pills was completely analyzed.

This was the power of Creation Power.

Understanding and creation.

Having analyzed the Blackwater Pill and Soul Ascension Pill, Gu Shengge could create as many of these two pills as he wanted, so long as he had sufficient Creation Power.

If he wanted to establish a faction, Gold Soul Coins alone would not be enough. Funding was one aspect, while resources were another.

Gu Shengge placed the Blackwater Pill and Soul Ascension Pill back into their bottles.

Then Creation Power surged. Like a 3D printer, a Blackwater Pill went from illusory to solid, appearing in his palm after consuming merely one-tenth of his Creation Power.

Based on the recovery rate of the Creation Power within him, it would take five or six hours to recover after being depleted. In other words, he could create forty Blackwater Pills a day.

Gu Shengge set this Blackwater Pill aside and created another Soul Ascension Pill. The Soul Ascension Pill consumed somewhat more Creation Power than the Blackwater Pill.

By that calculation, he could create twenty Blackwater Pills and eighteen or nineteen Soul Ascension Pills per day.

According to what Wang Dong had mentioned in the original story, only a few plant-type Soul Masters on the continent could refine Soul Ascension Pills, and their annual output did not exceed twenty.

Yet he could create in a day what others produced in an entire year. If word got out, those plant-type Soul Masters would cry themselves to death.

Gu Shengge did not idle around either, using all the Creation Power in his body to create the two kinds of pills. In just a few minutes, he obtained five Blackwater Pills and four Soul Ascension Pills.

If these pills were put up for sale, they would be worth no less than two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Gu Shengge compared the pills Xu Sanshi had given him with the ones he had created. Compared to Xu Sanshi's, the pills he had created were of far more perfect quality, top-grade pills.

After all, they had been created by Creation Power, making them superior to ordinary things in several ways.

He kept one Blackwater Pill and one Soul Ascension Pill for himself, storing all the rest in the Life Spirit Bracelet.

The Life Spirit Bracelet's storage space contained the aura of life, so there was no need to worry about the pills losing their medicinal potency inside it.

"Han Yue, come in."

Hearing his boss call for him, Han Yue, who had been waiting outside the door, quickly entered the dorm.

"Brother Gu, are you done?"

"Mm. Come here. These two pills are for you."

Gu Shengge nodded and handed the Blackwater Pill and Soul Ascension Pill to Han Yue. Seeing the two pills held out before him, the honest youth froze on the spot. Then he abruptly looked up at his boss, his face filled with astonishment.

Unlike Huo Yuhao, a sheltered novice trapped in the Duke's Estate, he naturally recognized the continent-famous Blackwater Pill and Soul Ascension Pill. But Han Yue had never imagined that his boss would give him the prize he had won from the wager.

The honest youth waved his hands and shook his head, trying to refuse. "Brother Gu, these are too valuable. I, I..."

"Take them. You've worked hard during this time. This is a reward from Spirit Hall."

Gu Shengge left no room for refusal as he tossed the pills to Han Yue. Looking at the pills in his hand, the youth was deeply moved. He gave his boss a deep bow and loudly thanked him.

"Thank you, Brother Gu! I definitely won't let down your expectations!"

Seeing Han Yue's overwhelming excitement, Gu Shengge smiled and nodded. He told him not to rush into taking the Blackwater Pill. He should wait until the next physical training session, when his body had reached its limit, before taking it. That would allow him to absorb its medicinal power more thoroughly. As for the Soul Ascension Pill, he could wait until he was breaking through Rank 30 to take it.
