Little Chef?
Yan Qingshan and Qiu Shirong exchanged a glance, then stared blankly at Jiang Xinghai.
Of course, they knew of the Little Chef.
Not long ago, the Little Chef’s life-and-death battle against Wanyan Xiong on Luolin Mountain was broadcast live across the entire internet.
"Any other questions?" Jiang Xinghai asked with a slight smile.
Suddenly, it dawned on Yan Qingshan. "Master, could you be the Little..."
Jiang Xinghai smiled, turned to leave, and gave a wave.
Yan Qingshan was greatly reassured. "This old slave understands."
He then led Qiu Shirong to meet the three Elders of the Martial Arts Department, who were hidden in the shadows.
This scene stunned Qiu Shirong yet again.
’So the entire Central State Martial Arts Department belongs to Jiang Xinghai!’
Oh, my heavens!
’His decision to kneel and beg for mercy must have been the result of good fortune accumulated in a past life!’
...
「In the courtyard of the AM Company.」
Jiang Xinghai healed the injuries of Du Jingsong, Shen Zhengye, and the others one by one.
"Congratulations. You’ve all improved your cultivation to varying degrees."
Jiang Xinghai looked at the familiar faces and added, "However, it’s not enough. You must raise your cultivation to the Ninth-Grade Great Venerable level as soon as possible. That is the key to your survival."
They all scratched their heads one after another, like children in front of Jiang Xinghai.
Jiang Xinghai learned that they had only taken three Gathering Essence Pills each.
"From now on, you should take turns going into seclusion to cultivate. That way, someone will be around if something happens outside," Jiang Xinghai suggested with great foresight.
Shen Zhengye seemed to realize something. "Jiang, are you planning to leave Jizhou?"
"Not for now, but I have been thinking about it," Jiang Xinghai didn’t deny it.
He had repaid his debt to the Shen Family. That was done.
There was no need to stay in Jizhou forever. All he needed to do was find his parents and seek revenge on that mysterious, black-cloaked Mr. Long.
Although Chuchu said Mr. Long might have died five years ago, he wouldn’t believe it until he saw the proof with his own eyes.
The reason he chose to go to Central State first was that he had his eyes on the Mu Family’s plot of land with the Medicinal Vein.
During this time, he planned to cultivate Spiritual Medicine. It would also be an opportunity to calm his mind and continue his training to break through to a higher realm.
After all, the black-cloaked Mr. Hu was already a Creation Realm expert.
The Creation Realm was divided into early, middle, and late stages.
And he was currently only in the early stage of the Creation Realm, not yet powerful enough to do as he pleased. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"It’s good that you’ll be in Central State. Lingyin is supposed to go there for her studies, so you could look out for her." Shen Zhengye finally managed to say, "It’s just... Lingxue..."
Jiang Xinghai fell into a thoughtful silence.
He couldn’t offer Shen Lingxue any security right now. Not until the day he avenged his family and found his parents.
On that day, he would take Shen Lingxue’s hand and hope they could stay together forever.
The only pity was...
At this thought, Jiang Xinghai let out a slightly wry smile. If he and Shen Lingxue were separated, he wouldn’t be able to enjoy the special energy her Thousand Derivation Spiritual Body provided him.
「At two in the afternoon.」
Jiang Xinghai, Shen Lingxue, and Su Yanyun were in the office.
Su Yanyun took out the three formulas for the Anti-Aging Cream, Longevity Pill, and Repair Ointment.
These three formulas came from Kunlun’s Jasper Pool. Jiang Xinghai was familiar with them; his senior sister, Chu Lingyun, had given them to Su Yanyun.
To this day, Su Yanyun still didn’t understand why Chu Lingyun had granted her such a great opportunity.
The three of them talked for a long time, planning to launch their first beauty product, the Anti-Aging Cream, within three days.
Since the AM Company was formerly the Du Family’s cosmetics company, it already had a full production line. All they needed to do was purchase the medicinal ingredients according to the formula and they could begin mass production based on the dosage chart.
Fortunately, Su Yanyun had been out purchasing medicinal ingredients for the past few days and had already gathered everything they needed.
Everything, including the patents and packaging, was ready to go.
Now, the topic of their discussion was how to price the Anti-Aging Cream.
According to Jiang Xinghai, the Anti-Aging Cream, as its name implied, could preserve one’s youthful appearance.
However, this was only the most elementary formula for the cream.
Therefore, it could only guarantee a delay in the signs of aging, not true eternal youth.
"My senior sister was very clear about this back then. After all, even this elementary formula is heaven-defying enough for the Mortal World. If I were to give you the intermediate or advanced Anti-Aging Cream formulas, it would be far too sensational," Jiang Xinghai analyzed.
Shen Lingxue and Su Yanyun had a moment of realization. That made sense.
But even the elementary Anti-Aging Cream would outperform every other skincare and beauty product on the market.
In the end, they decided to price a fifty-gram box of Anti-Aging Cream at ninety-nine yuan.
Too low a price would cheapen the quality.
Too high a price, and ordinary people would be deterred.
After nightfall, Su Yanyun prepared to live and eat at the company to oversee the production of their first product.
Jiang Xinghai and Shen Lingxue drove away.
"How long are you planning to stay in Central State?"
On the way, Shen Lingxue felt a pang of disappointment upon hearing Jiang Xinghai reveal this news.
"I can’t say for sure yet," Jiang Xinghai said, gazing out the window at the night sky.
’It all depends on finding my parents and determining whether the black-cloaked Mr. Long is dead or alive.’
"If you just up and leave, who’s going to teach me how to cultivate now that I’ve entered the path of Martial Arts?" Shen Lingxue didn’t try to make him stay, but she did present him with a difficult problem.
