Yun Ze also nodded in approval, saying, "That's really good. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy must be treating you like a treasure now, right?"
"Yes," Gu Yue Na continued, "The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is now training me to be the next dean."
"The academy has given me many privileges: free use of materials, unlimited supply of resources, and unrestricted access to information. Whatever I need can be discussed."
"At the same time, the vice dean of the Federation Research Institute specifically came to see me a few days ago. They hope I can join the Federation Research Institute directly."
"How did you respond?" Yun Ze asked. He and Gu Yue Na had both sat down. "Of course, I didn't agree. The environment of the Federation Research Institute is too closed off. Joining it would only be harmful to me and to us, with no benefits."
"Besides, after staying at the academy for a few more years, I will go to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda with Teacher Leng Yaozhu. How could I join the Federation Research Institute?"
Gu Yue Na said, not being interested in the Federation Research Institute. With her talent, she could completely self-study higher-level soul tools. Because of her extremely high talent in martial souls, she was noticed by Leng Yaozhu, the vice pagoda master of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, a few years ago and was taken in as a disciple.
"The right choice," Yun Ze said. "Oh, right, how was your martial soul awakening today?" Gu Yue Na suddenly thought of this and subconsciously sensed Yun Ze's soul power. Her expression changed slightly upon sensing it. "It's about what I expected, the Phoenix Martial Soul," Yun Ze said. "How is it that your innate soul power seems to be level twenty?" Gu Yue Na asked, somewhat uncertainly. Di Tian and the others heard this and finally paid attention to Yun Ze's soul power. After a brief sensing, they found that it was indeed level twenty. They were all surprised. Isn't the highest innate soul power for human soul masters only level ten? "This should be considered a special case," Yun Ze said after a moment of contemplation. Gu Yue Na also understood Yun Ze's uniqueness and quickly accepted the matter. She said with some apprehension, "Your martial soul has also awakened. What are your plans next?"
Yun Ze glanced at Gu Yue Na and smiled, "What other plans could there be? It's the same as you, joining the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."
"That's an academy directly under the federal government. Studying there is more conducive to the progress of our plan."
"Okay, then you can go to Mingdu with me," Gu Yue Na said happily. "This time, it's not just the two of us going to Mingdu, but everyone going together," Yun Ze said, looking at the others. Gu Yue Na looked at Yun Ze in confusion, and the others also looked at Yun Ze. Clearly, Yun Ze was the backbone here. Yun Ze knew what everyone was wondering and explained, "My martial soul has awakened. After I absorb a soul spirit, I can become a Great Soul Master of over twenty levels."
"With my Phoenix Flames and your help, it will be enough to refine the Transformation Pill."
"After you take the Transformation Pill, you will truly be no different from human soul masters and can walk freely on the continent without worrying about being discovered by human powerhouses."
"Star Moon City is good, but it's only good. It's ultimately not as good as Mingdu. To develop faster, we need to develop our forces in Mingdu."
"Before, we were worried about you being discovered by soul master powerhouses, which is why we chose to develop in Star Moon City. Now that this problem is solved, we naturally need to go to the better Mingdu."
"That's great!" Everyone cheered, very excited. They had been looking forward to the Transformation Pill for a long time. "Thank you," Gu Yue Na said gratefully. She didn't doubt Yun Ze. Since he said he could refine the Transformation Pill, he definitely could. The truthfulness of his words had been proven time and time again in practice. This powerhouse from another world gave her a feeling of being omnipotent, someone worth trusting and relying on. "This is all something you exchanged for with Life Gold. It's a fair exchange, no need to say thank you," Yun Ze said with a light smile. Although he said that, Gu Yue Na still kept this favor in her heart. "Bi Ji, have our assets in Star Moon City been tallied?" Yun Ze looked at the green-dressed woman beside Di Tian. "They have been tallied," Bi Ji stood up, bowed to Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na, and said, "The fixed assets are a Medicine King Pavilion store, a forging store, and this building, with a market value of nearly 100 million."
"The medicinal herbs, pills, metals, and finished metals in the stores are worth about 300 million federal coins."
"Over the past few years, the funds we have accumulated are around 1.5 billion, bringing the total assets to 1.9 billion."
"How is the current operation of the Medicine King Pavilion?" Yun Ze asked.
Bi Ji smiled sweetly and looked at Yun Ze gratefully, saying, "The Foundation Establishment Pill and Breakthrough Pill you researched have always sold very well."
"Now, the Medicine King Pavilion can bring us nearly 7 million federal coins in revenue every day, and it will be even higher in the future."
The so-called Foundation Establishment Pill and Breakthrough Pill were pills that Yun Ze had researched based on the rules of this world. They were very basic types of pills. To make the pills easier to refine, he had even deliberately simplified the pill formulas. "It seems that your pill formation rate for these two types of pills is still very low," Yun Ze shook his head. Although these two types of pills were simplified versions, their effects were still good. The former could increase a soul master's innate soul power by one level. The latter could allow soul masters below the Soul Elder level to immediately break through bottlenecks, even major bottlenecks, by taking a few more pills.
If the pill formation rate were high, the daily income would definitely exceed 10 million, not just over 7 million. Bi Ji's pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she explained awkwardly, "I can refine these two types of pills normally, and the pill formation rate is around 60%."
"But for the people we hired, their pill formation rate is less than 10%. A dozen people combined can only refine a dozen pills a day, which is less than what I can do alone."
"That's why... it's because I didn't teach them well," Bi Ji said guiltily, not making excuses for herself.
She was the person in charge of the Medicine King Pavilion, and she was definitely responsible for this situation. "You can't be blamed for this. Those people are too stupid and can't refine pills well. It has nothing to do with you," Di Tian stood up and comforted her.
"Since their efficiency is a bit low, let's give up on them for now. Close the Medicine King Pavilion and forging shop here, and sell the stores."
"We will move to Mingdu as a whole and start over there. With these funds, we can develop quickly."
The blacksmith in the forging shop was actually just Bear Lord. He would definitely follow them to Mingdu. Once he left, there would be no need for the shop here to exist. Seeing Bi Ji's ashamed look, Yun Ze said, "You don't need to blame yourself. As Di Tian said, this is not your fault."
"You have some talent in refining pills and strong management skills. After going to Mingdu, the Medicine King Pavilion will still be under your charge."
"Okay," Bi Ji's self-blame lessened, and she bent down to sit. "Let me talk about the arrangements for the future," Yun Ze said, scanning everyone with his gaze.
