Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 233 - 203: Want to Be in the Demon Sect? Do You Have That Stone?

The biggest difference between Righteous Elixirs and Demonic Elixirs is not the medicinal properties but the raw materials.

The former tends to use spirit plant materials, while the latter uses flesh and blood materials.

Although both types of elixirs can pass through the current relatively relaxed review process and be sold normally, people still prefer to buy Righteous Elixirs.

For the sake of the reputation of the Top Ten, Master Qiu naturally doesn't want Su Yuan to openly sell Demonic Elixirs.

Su Yuan doesn't care about Master Qiu's so-called principles.

Selling in secret it is, then.

After all, he's not worried about sales. Primordial Sect, inheriting the various sales channels from Nine Dragon Hall, is well aware of who in Taihua City urgently needs cheap Demonic Elixirs.

There are many people in Taihua City who can't afford Righteous Elixirs, and they will actively choose Demonic Elixirs made from flesh and blood, which are foul-smelling and disgusting.

Because when the efficacy isn't much different, the latter's cost is at least one-third lower than the former, and its price is naturally much lower.

So, what differentiates Primordial Sect from the former Nine Dragon Hall?

Will Primordial Sect follow in the footsteps of the latter, also getting taken down by some Dragon Slayer Warrior?

And if selling elixirs covertly while complying with laws and regulations can really compete against those demonic predecessors who value money more than life?

In response to this, Su Yuan made proper preparations from the start.

The first step is to have the demonic version of the Third-Turn Golden Core pass review, capable of withstanding investigations.

The second step is to control the cost of raw materials for Demonic Elixirs, to meet the market's expectations for low-priced elixirs.

It sounds like these two steps are simple, and Su Yuan has already completed them.

But why couldn't Nine Dragon Hall achieve this?

The reason is simple, because Nine Dragon Hall was essentially a fake Demon Sect! It could only be considered a black factory!

To be honest, the original Nine Dragon Elixirs couldn't really be considered Demonic Elixirs.

The reason for their illegality, firstly, was due to incomplete Nine Dragon Pill Formula, causing huge side effects, which Nine Dragon Hall forcibly launched for profit.

Secondly, because Nine Dragon Pill Formula's raw materials were spirit plant medicines, unable to reduce costs through raw materials.

Therefore, Nine Dragon Hall could only reduce pipeline costs, worker costs, factory costs, health costs, and other aspects restricted by stringent review mechanisms.

If this could be legal, it would be a miracle.

But Su Yuan's demonic version of the Third-Turn Golden Core is different. Just relying on the advantage of raw material costs, he can crush many illegal alchemy businesses.

Moreover, because the demonic version of the Third-Turn Golden Core is more effective, with smaller side effects, and even legal to sell, Primordial Sect's secret Demonic Elixir business will be better than Nine Dragon Hall's sales back then.

So, not everyone can become a Demon Sect.

If you don't have core technology and don't spread material costs across various cheaper flesh and blood materials, how can you compete with a real Demon Sect?

No Spirit Stones, huh!

Time passed quickly, and two days went by.

The new instructor over these two days was a Fairy Chu from the Taixu Sect, and as for the content of Taixu Sect's lessons...

One can only say they are mystical, truth amidst the falsehood, profound and beyond expression, only comprehensible through intuition.

The entire Top Ten Preparatory Classes could only really be learned by a few Illusion Dao talents personally discovered by Fairy Chu, the rest were just wasting their time.

So during this period, Su Yuan, with his available followers, has been busy constructing the Primordial Sect's Pill Hall.

It really must be said that the preliminary costs of an alchemy factory are incredibly high, not to mention those high-end automatic alchemy furnaces.

Just the price of conventional pill furnaces, earth fire, and explosion-proof factory buildings compliant with regulations is quite exorbitant.

To build a factory that can accommodate thirty alchemists working together, Su Yuan had to invest all his capital that he had just earned back from Primordial Media.

However, Su Yuan was not distressed about this because the path to making significant profits was clearly laid out before him.

In a short span of two days, through renting bankrupt factory buildings, second-hand pill furnaces, spirit vein pipelines, and other ready-made equipment, the Primordial Sect's Pill Hall was officially established in an industrial park near Feiyun District in Taihua City North!

At this moment, various operating licenses, sales certificates, and even pill formula qualification certificates were all approved.

Furthermore, due to the relatively spacious factory, Su Yuan even established an artifact refining workshop to produce magical treasures in the future.

However, before officially operating, the Primordial Sect's Pill Hall still had one essential task to accomplish.

Recruiting! Recruiting alchemists!

On the third morning of Taixu Sect's instructor's lessons, it marked the first day of official recruitment for the Primordial Sect's Pill Hall.

"Sect Leader, I've heard that alchemists have a high social status, can we really recruit enough alchemists in such a rush?"

Looking at the empty factory, Qi Hanyan couldn't help but raise this question.

In response, Su Yuan simply smiled slightly:

"High social status or not, there are always alchemists who only know how to concoct rigid low-level elixirs, getting laid off amid the repeated internal competition."

"As for how to contact those alchemists, you don't need to worry, I have their contact information."

Qi Hanyan was slightly taken aback, and was about to ask further when a middle-aged man with scraggly beard cautiously stepped inside the factory.

The middle-aged man wore gold-rimmed glasses, looking cultured, with cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Although it's the lowest level for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, without No Spiritual Root, he is still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He should normally earn tens of millions monthly.

However, the weary expression on the middle-aged man's face and his slightly outdated formal wear indicated his financial situation wasn't good.

"Someone actually came... and it's a Foundation Establishment stage alchemist?!"

Qi Hanyan's beautiful eyes widened slightly, filled with disbelief.

But Su Yuan remained indifferent and invited the middle-aged man to take a seat:

"Alchemist Ji Youzhi, you used to be a Second Level Alchemist from the White Cloud Pill Sect, correct."

Alchemist Ji was slightly startled, about to speak, but was directly interrupted by Su Yuan.

"Since you're here, let's directly discuss work-related matters."

"Regarding how I obtained your contact information, sent you emails, and knew your name, these are minor details not worth asking."

Alchemist Ji: "..."

Can these really be considered minor details?

But ultimately, he didn't ask anything, only nodded slightly.

"Tell me about the income from your last job."

Su Yuan propped his chin with both hands, speaking calmly:

"Please note, I'm not referring to your last legal job."

Alchemist Ji was startled.

Su Yuan's hint was so obvious, how could he fail to understand that the other party knew about his regrettable past working at a black factory?

He suppressed the shame of having his private matters exposed, lowered his head, and said:

"The monthly salary of my last job was fifty thousand."

"Fifty thousand?"

Su Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly:

"If I remember correctly, after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, the spiritual energy in a normal environment can no longer meet the daily consumption of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

"Therefore, every Foundation Establishment Cultivator needs to purchase Spirit Stones or set up a Spirit Gathering Array at home to supplement consumption."

"Just the daily cultivation cost far exceeds that of Qi Cultivation stage cultivators, not to mention mortgage loans, flying sword loans, flying ship loans, living expenses, etc. Is fifty thousand really enough?"

Alchemist Ji shook his head, somewhat bitterly.

But then, he suddenly realized something.

The young boss in front of him was dismissing the fifty thousand monthly salary, does it mean he can offer a higher pay scale?

If that's the case, even if it means breaking the boundaries of a legitimate alchemist to concoct Demon Pills, he would be willing!

Then the next second, he heard the young man in front of him solemnly say:

"Can you accept a basic salary of thirty thousand?"

Alchemist Ji: "???"
