Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Tranquil Pills

"Do you think I would not be able to open a business of my own?" Gu Jin with a narrowed eyes.

Si Kai looked at Gu Jin seriously and said,

"It’s not about opening the business. Today the market is so saturated that it is hard for the normal business to sustain..."

Gu Jin understood Si Kai’s words and was a bit surprised by his level of smartness.

Rubbing Si Kai’s head, Gu Jin said,

"It doesn’t matter how saturated a market is, there is always the new customer, and if you have an excellent product and the right amount of marketing, you will definitely be successful."

Si Kai was a little dazed hearing Gu Jin’s words.

He wanted to praise Gu Jin for being smart, eloquent, and cute...however his poisonous tongue said,

"Even a broken clock is right twice a day."

Gu Jin blinked in surprise, taken aback by Si Kai’s unexpected response.

She stared at him for a moment, trying to decipher the meaning behind his words.

"Are you saying I’m like a broken clock?" she asked, a hint of annoyance creeping into her voice.

Si Kai nodded his head proudly.

Gu Jin: "..."

"You brat..."

Saying so Gu Jin started running towards Si Kai, who sensing the danger jumped and in 2 kicks reached the Beast Tamer Island.

After Gu Jin found that Si Kai could enter the island, and only with Si Kai she could enter the forest, Gu Jin named it Beast Tamer Island.

Seeing Si Kai enter the island Gu Jin gritted her teeth and called out,

"You are a cheater!"

"Even though I am a cheater, I am much smarter than you." Si Kai’s voice echoed.

Gu Jin shook her head.

This kid doesn’t take the loss for sure.

Gu Jin could only focus on her cultivation.

The next day.

Gu Jin as expected looked outside the window to see whether that young man would appear today or not.

However, to her dismay, he didn’t.

Gu Jin bought a set of herbs and entered her space after coming to a hidden alley.

"Cauldron."

Golden Sage Cauldron appeared in front of her.

Gu Jin carefully took out the herbs and placed them on the ground but like yesterday the herbs didn’t move.

Heaving a sigh of relief Gu Jin focused on the next step.

Opening the page Gu Jin started making the pill named Tranquil Spirit Pill

It was a basic Apprentice-level pill.

With this pill Mage could enhance their mental focus and concentration, aiding them in their mana cultivation journey. The Tranquil Spirit Pill was particularly useful for those who have difficulty concentrating.

Gu Jin started mixing the herbs after crushing them and soon the pill was ready.

Since it was an apprentice-level pill, it had no level.

However, to Gu Jin, it was of bad quality.

Gu Jin tasted one and the taste was so bad that she almost wanted to vomit it out.

"What the f*ck is this." Gu Jin muttered.

She looked at the formula and started doubting whether it was even right or not.

To verify it Gu Jin bought the formula from the market and compared it.

However before Gu Jin could even find the results, her entire being calmed down and Gu Jin closed her eyes to cultivate.

For the next 2 days, Gu Jin cultivated her Dark Fire element.

The result was, that she now was able to cast a spell...

This surprised Gu Jin. Because according to her she needed 2 more months before she could be capable of casting a Dark Fire element spell!

Gu Jin compared the formula and realized that the formula was very different.

Almost all of the herbs were different except for a few.

The formula she bought clearly stated that the effect of the pill would last only 2 hours.

What does that mean?

That means her pills were at least 10...no! no! 20 times more powerful.

Gu Jin however wasn’t satisfied.

She always felt that the formula was incomplete.

So the next 2 hours Gu Jin studied the formula and finally realized the essence of the pill.

Tranquility can only be achieved when humans are satisfied with their lives, and it is only possible when you have all four important prospects in your life, money, love, fame, and power.

Yet from what Gu Jin knows humans can never be satisfied so how was the pill able to make a person’s mind tranquil?

By suppressing all the emotions and giving a body a pseudo-tranquil state.

Gu Jin couldn’t help but curse the person who made this formula.

Using such a trick will only temporarily delay the chaos in your mind which is unhealthy for the mind.

Sooner or later the person will become a complete idiot or turn into a monster!

Gu Jin thought for a long time before coming up with an idea.

Pseudo-tranquility was achieved by suppressing emotions. But there was one more way that could make a person have a pseudo-tranquil phase.

She understood that true tranquility came from acceptance and understanding of oneself, rather than attempting to forcefully suppress one’s feelings.

With this insight in mind, Gu Jin decided to modify the Tranquil Spirit Pill formula to align with her newfound understanding.

Instead of simply suppressing emotions, she aimed to create a pill that would help cultivate inner balance and harmony, promoting genuine tranquility and mental well-being.

After careful consideration and experimentation, Gu Jin formulated a new version of the Tranquil Spirit Pill.

This pill not only contained the original ingredients but also incorporated additional herbs and essences known for their calming and balancing properties.

Satisfied with her modifications, Gu Jin carefully crafted a batch of the new Tranquil Spirit Pills using the Golden Sage Cauldron.

As she worked, another idea came to her mind, what if she infused her plant element energy in the pill?

Gu Jin had a lot of time hence she decided to experiment a bit.

She infused the pills with her plant element energy.

Herbs if used in the right amount could not calm the mind they could also heal internal organ injuries etc.

When Gu Jin finished, her understanding of the pills suddenly increased a bit.

If the people of Alchemy Tower knew that Gu Jin was successful in fusing her plant energy with the pill, could know how many of them would die from shock.

Gu Jin couldn’t explain it but now she understood why different herbs were used in this formula.

After the pill was made Gu Jin ate one. The taste was neutral but the results were instant.

Gu Jin’s entire body relaxed and she slowly closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again 10 days had passed.

Her cultivation of Dark Fire reached Tier 1 just like that.

Gu Jin couldn’t be the result.

10 days of cultivation flashed past so easily?

What the hell happened?

To test the results, Gu Jin cast,

"Firey Fist."

A ball of intense, dark flames formed around her clenched fist, crackling with raw energy.

With a swift motion, she thrust her fist forward, towards a nearby tree.

The tree instantly burnt into ashes.

"Holy sh*t!" Gu Jin muttered.

"Wow!!!" Si Kai who had just arrived was fortunate enough to see the scene and couldn’t help but praise it.

Gu Jin was surprised at the result too.

But then she remembered Principal Feng’s words.

"It is much more powerful than the Fire element."

The second Brother whom she previously met also had a fire element.

Compared to his Intermediate Spell, Gu Jin’s fiery fist was much weaker.

However, it was still very powerful as compared to Tier 2 spells of normal Fire elements.

Gu Jin smiled.

She was satisfied with the product as well as the elements.

Now all she needs to do is launch it in the market.

Gu Jin made 10 more batches, and each batch cost her 3,000 yuan.

A batch produces 12 pills.

One bottle that is sold for 2000 yuan in the market has 4 pills.

This means the total bottle she would have at the end of the day would be 30. And the price of each pill is 250.

1000 yuan profit straight per bottle!

However, Gu Jin knew that the product was much better than all the products present in the market.

This is because Gu Jin had tried a sample of the pill before.

Hence Gu Jin decided to sell per bottle for 3000 yuan.

It may seem a lot but hey! She has put her plant energy into each of the pills!

Gu Jin bought some small containers and packed the pills.

Looking at the 30 bottles, Gu Jin smiled with satisfaction.

Next up she has to register a store for herself and ask for help from the Alchemy Tower.

If she set up a stall, there are chances that many people would want to mess up with her once they knew the effectiveness of the pills or see her sales.
