Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 83 – Angelica

Laura Jiang nodded, "Master has been trying to break through the bottleneck this month, but unfortunately, he has failed each time."

"This is quite normal; cultivation is never smooth sailing." Robert Zhou smiled, savoring his tea, and said no more.

Just then, a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy erupted from within the building.

"He broke through!" Robert Zhou suddenly stood up.

Ghost Guest's hearty laughter echoed as he quickly walked out, clasping his hands in greeting, "Senior Brother Robert Zhou, you truly are an esteemed guest. As soon as you arrived, I broke through. It seems I'll have to invite you next time I attempt a breakthrough."

Robert Zhou returned the gesture with a smile, "Junior Brother, you're joking. It's all your hard work; I had nothing to do with it."

After some pleasantries, Ghost Guest asked, "What brings you here, Senior Brother?"

Robert Zhou scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "I heard that once you reach Qi Refinement Level Four, you can become a steward of the Medicine Gate. In the future, regarding pills, I hope you'll look after me. You know, Senior Brother, I'm really poor."

Ghost Guest nodded with a smile, "Of course, Senior Brother has helped me many times before, and I've never had the chance to repay you. Once I'm appointed, I'll give you the best discounts when you come to buy pills."

"Thank you, Junior Brother." Robert Zhou's face lit up with joy as he finished his tea and stood up, "In that case, I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell."

After seeing Robert Zhou off, Ghost Guest listened to Laura Jiang recount Robert Zhou's words and actions in detail, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

Robert Zhou's visit was entirely within his expectations. Xie Ding'an wanted to probe his cultivation progress, and sending Robert Zhou was undoubtedly the best choice.

In reality, he hadn't been cultivating at all this past month; he only started breaking through after Robert Zhou arrived. His purpose was to make Mark Ye think his aptitude was just that poor, allowing him to drag things out longer.

And Robert Zhou's visit meant the fish had taken the bait.

...

Three days later, the Medicine Gate was bustling with activity.

Today was Ghost Guest's inauguration ceremony, and almost all the high-ranking members of the Medicine Gate were present, both for the title of personal disciple and for Ghost Guest's pill refining talent.

Amidst envious and admiring gazes, Ghost Guest pushed open the doors of the newly constructed tall building, standing at the entrance and clasping his hands in greeting, "Thank you all for coming to witness this occasion. I hope for your continued support in business. I will do my utmost to contribute to the prosperity of the Medicine Gate."

"Of course, Junior Brother Ghost Guest's establishment is one we must support."

"When the first batch of pills is ready, I'll definitely come to buy."

"Congratulations, congratulations. I wish Junior Brother Ghost Guest a thriving business in advance."

Xiao Shenghe pointed to the plaque that had yet to be inscribed and smiled, "This building was built for you, Junior Brother. You should name it."

Ghost Guest pondered for a moment, then used his finger as a sword to carve into the plaque with energy. As the wood shavings fell, two flamboyant characters were revealed: "Dangui" (Angelica).

"This name is interesting." Xiao Shenghe examined it seriously, then took out a storage bag from his pocket and handed it to Ghost Guest, patting him on the shoulder, "Do your best."

The storage bag contained the resources every steward received upon taking office, including thirty thousand Spirit Stones and pill recipes for all Qi Refinement period pills. Just the recipes alone were invaluable, a testament to the Medicine Gate's wealth.

However, these thirty thousand Spirit Stones weren't for personal use but to maintain the operation of the new building. Whether it was purchasing ingredients internally or recruiting pill refiners, a lot of Spirit Stones were needed.

Ghost Guest posted a recruitment notice, and thanks to his previous reputation from winning a competition, several pill refiners came to join him.

Amanda Han helped Ghost Guest manage everything, working late into the night to get the business running smoothly.

Ghost Guest stood in the hall, rubbing his aching forehead, "Running a business is more exhausting than fighting."

Amanda Han covered her mouth with a laugh, "This is just the beginning. Every steward finds it toughest when they first take over. Ingredients are easy to come by, as the Medicine Gate provides them with a monthly settlement. But finding good pill refiners is difficult, especially skilled ones. At the start, pill refiners are always in short supply. Almost every steward has to refine pills day and night to ensure a steady supply."

Ghost Guest sighed, "Most good pill refiners have already joined the Medicine Gate. Even if I want to recruit, I'll have to wait for a new batch of pill refiners to grow."

Amanda Han comforted him, "Take it slow. As long as you can maintain operations without losses in the first few months, it's already a success."

Seeing Ghost Guest deep in thought, Amanda Han brought a few cultivators from the Fragrance Beauty Tower, including Yu Miao, who had participated in the competition with Ghost Guest, "I see you're having a tough time, so I brought you some people."

"You're a steward now, so I'll be following your lead. Just make sure my monthly Spirit Stones aren't short," Yu Miao said with a playful smile at Ghost Guest.

Ghost Guest solemnly clasped his hands in gratitude, "Thank you all for your help. Don't worry about your salaries; whatever Spirit Stones you received from Senior Sister Han, you'll receive the same here."

Pill refiners in the Medicine Gate are divided into two types: those like Ghost Guest, who refine whatever they wish and earn from the pills, and those like Yu Miao, who must submit a fixed number and type of pills each month in exchange for a generous amount of Spirit Stones.

For a steward, the latter is naturally more desirable, as it helps maintain business operations.

After settling these individuals, Ghost Guest exchanged a glance with Amanda Han and ascended to the top floor room.

"How did things go?" Ghost Guest stood by the window, overlooking the entire Medicine Gate, appearing very calm.

Amanda Han sat on Ghost Guest's bed, chuckling, "You're really impatient. This kind of thing takes time."

Ghost Guest replied calmly, "I have plenty of time. The longer it takes, the better. I'll focus on pill refining for now. Once the business stabilizes, you can manage it for a while, and the profits will be yours."

"I don't want Spirit Stones." Amanda Han looked directly at Ghost Guest, licking her red lips, "You should know what I want."

Ghost Guest, with his back to Amanda Han, raised his hand and waved gently, "I'm going to refine pills now, no sending off."

"Such a heartless person. I wonder what sins I committed in a past life to end up with you as my nemesis." Amanda Han cast a resentful glance at Ghost Guest before leaving.

Ghost Guest closed the window, activated the room's restriction, and took out a pill furnace to begin refining.

The fire reflected in his eyes, burning ever brighter.

Mark Ye, I'm ready. Are you?
