Chapter 259 We are rich
"This time, a total of 1024 million spirit stones worth of tickets were sold."
Wang Qiye smiled mysteriously.
"Wow--"
All the girls exclaimed.
Hu Mingyue's eyes sparkled. "Wang Qiye, are you saying that we've made a fortune?"
"Of course." Wang Qiye laughed, then took out the half jar of wine left over from last time and placed it on the table.
Shihua, who was tactful, quickly picked up the wine jar and poured wine for everyone.
"You just said that this photo ball was given by Bai Xingchen. Could it be that Bai Xingchen, the half-son of Shengtian?"
Lei Siyu's eyes also flashed. The excitement of suddenly becoming rich even shook the state of mind of a third-level cultivator like her.
"Yes, it's him, but don't pay attention to him. This thing was given to him as a gift and has been gathering dust for several years. Even if you look at the more than 100 alchemists he has in Tianwu Domain, how can they compare to the number of alchemists in our Lingxi Valley?"
Wang Qiye picked up the wine bowl without caring and drank half of it to quench his thirst.
Duanmu Lan rolled her eyes at him. "Wang Qiye, you are so mean. You just took someone's things and buried them."
“I guess he himself didn’t expect that there would be so many people watching.” Wang Qiye put down his wine bowl and laughed heartily.
"But you can keep the spirit stones. They will be useful for your trip to the black market later." Duanmu Lan nodded.
Wang Qiye turned his head and looked at her in confusion. "There are 750 million spirit stones in total. It won't go wrong if we take them all, right?"
Duanmu Lan sneered. "You are so stupid. Do you think these black markets can exist without the shadow behind the peak master of Lingxi Valley?"
"Oh, so that's how it is." Wang Qiye understood. He didn't expect that Lingxi Valley was not a monolithic entity, and there were places behind it where the light could not reach.
Thinking of this, Wang Qiye transferred all of his millions of contribution points to Ruyi, leaving only the spirit stones. After all, he now had 1200 million spirit stones in his pocket, and he was just afraid of that possibility.
"Now we just have to wait for the new alchemy furnace to arrive so that we can start refining a furnace of fourth-grade Qi Gathering Pills." Wang Qiye thought to himself.
Ruyi stopped using the chopsticks in her hand, thought of something, and looked at Wang Qiye. "Son-in-law, I was just about to tell you that the three fourth-level herbs you asked me to collect have all increased in price to varying degrees."
"It seems that I am not the only one who wants to refine a furnace of Qi Gathering Pills while my hands are still hot." Wang Qiye showed understanding. "Don't worry about them. Collect enough herbs for three furnaces and stop. I estimate that the price will rise during this period."
"Okay, son-in-law." Ruyi responded, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a bird neck.
"Wang Qiye, it seems that there are quite a few people who are refining the Qi Gathering Pill. I'm afraid that once it is refined, the price of the Qi Gathering Pill will drop again. After all, there are quite a few people watching today." Yan Mengwan said worriedly.
"That still needs to be refined. It's better than exploding the furnace. With this first batch of fourth-level pills, the subsequent fourth-level pills will be much easier." Wang Qiye said with ease. Now he is a genuine landlord and rich man, so why would he care about this little loss.
Yan Mengwan nodded. "Yeah, that's right."
Duanmu Lan raised her head and glanced at Wang Qiye, then lowered her head and buried her head in her food. She thought she was already perverted enough, but compared to Wang Qiye, she was defeated in seconds.
The only thing that troubled his progress on the path of alchemy was the spirit stones. His level in alchemy might not be very high, but as for himself and Yan Mengwan beside him, their alchemy levels could be described as rising with the tide.
Now the success rate of his fourth-level pills is steadily increasing. Even Yan Mengwan is starting to refine fourth-level pills. And he thinks that Yan Mengwan will be able to successfully refine the first batch of Qi Gathering Pills, which is very scary.
Unknowingly, that young boy has grown up to the point where he has caught up with her. How could she not be heartbroken?
The only drawback may be that he has too many wives. If I marry him, I don’t know how much he, such a stingy guy, will give me.
Lei Siyu thought of something and looked up at the man beside him. "Wang Qiye, you promised me that you would treat Ruyi and Shihua well. Now that you have made a fortune, why don't you show some appreciation?"
"That must be expressed." Wang Qiye grinned. He was so happy that he really forgot about it. "Each maid will be given two third-level magic weapons, one for attack and one for defense. It's a benefit of 6 spirit stones. Isn't that generous enough?"
Although the maids are still at the second level of strength, it takes 10 years to forge a third-level magic weapon. By then, they will be able to use it. It is just a matter of sooner or later.
Several maids were overjoyed and stood up to pay their respects to Wang Qiye. "Thank you, son-in-law."
"Shall we make two for Chuntao as well?"
Wang Qiye looked at Chuntao who seemed a little lost and said with a smile.
Chun Tao was horrified. "Thank you, Master Wang. I dare not accept it. It is too expensive."
"Take it. A single hair plucked from Wang Qiye's body is thicker than your thigh." Duanmu Lan said lightly.
"Thank you very much, Young Master Wang." Chuntao said with a blushing face, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Wang Qiye, she hasn't married yet, and you're still so supportive of her. What will happen after she marries?" Hu Mingyue teased him with a smile on her face.
Wang Qiye felt as if a sharp sword was on his back when he heard this. Lei Siyu's eyes, which were as clear as spring water just now, were now as cold as a pond. But for some reason, Duanmu Lan had to show a weird smile at this moment, as if he was provoking Lei Siyu.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Yan Mengwan paused with her chopsticks, and a teardrop slid down her cheek into the bowl without her noticing it, swallowing the bitterness into her stomach.
The war between the three women had not started yet, but the atmosphere on the dinner table was already tense. The maids who had just laughed and played had frozen their smiles. They buried their heads in their bowls and ate their meals in silence, not even daring to make any chewing sounds.
Wang Qiye laughed dryly. "How could that be possible? Chuntao has been taking care of my alchemy furnace all the time. She works very hard and she has never charged me for the pyrotechnics. This can be considered as compensation for her."
After saying this, he glared at Hu Mingyue, but Hu Mingyue ignored him, and the smile on her lips grew bigger and bigger. He could only deceive himself with these words, and none of the maids present believed it.
"Wang Qiye, don't think I don't know what you are thinking." Lei Siyu didn't say the rest of the words, but his eyes were sharp and terrifyingly gloomy, and combined with the pressure of a third-level cultivator, he attacked Wang Qiye.
But it was only for a moment, like a punishment, the pressure came quickly and went away quickly. But Wang Qiye was like a fish that had escaped from the shore and returned to the water, breathing heavily as if it had come back to life.
When he noticed it, he found that his back had been wet without him noticing, and he glared at the culprit again.
This time, facing Wang Qiye's gaze, Hu Mingyue finally lowered her head.
"As expected, three women make a drama. The ancients were right!" Wang Qiye sighed in his heart and wailed. "This is really an unexpected disaster. It was supposed to be a good thing, but how come it almost turned into a war in the end?"
There was a long silence at the dinner table, as everyone was eating their food with their own thoughts.
Ruyi raised her head timidly. "Son-in-law, can we buy that third-level magic weapon ourselves?"
Wang Qiye looked at Ruyi gratefully and really wanted to kiss her. "Sure, each of you will get 6 contribution points as a benefit, you can spend it as you like."
"Thank you, son-in-law." Ruyi smiled sweetly.
Shihua knew that Ruyi was going to buy a second-hand third-level magic weapon in the "contract market". Was she going to send all 30,000 spiritual stones back home? Could her family spend so much?
"Humph."
Lei Siyu snorted coldly and gave Wang Qiye a cold look.
Wang Qiye smiled at her. Today, the page has finally been turned over. She had not even blinked in the corridor of the Seven City Village, but today, eating a meal almost cost her her life.
"From now on, the maids' monthly salary will increase from 400 spiritual stones to 500 spiritual stones."
Wang Qiye said proudly.
He saw clearly that even the people who were always beside him could change their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. But these maids were obedient and could save his life at the critical moment. He had to buy them off as soon as possible.
The maids were all overjoyed and smiled. They stood up and bowed together. "Thank you, son-in-law."
"Everyone, please sit down. Ruyi is now managing our grocery store. He will give us an additional 50 spirit stones every month."
Wang Qiye spoke again in a heroic tone.
This time it was an open bribe, and he would not have to give it secretly anymore. He was originally going to increase Ruyi's salary by 100, but then he thought, the increase was too much, wouldn't these maids start fighting again?
"Ruyi thanks you, son-in-law." Ruyi was overjoyed and stood up to pay respect to Wang Qiye. The look he gave Wang Qiye was as if he had seen his own parents again. The master-servant relationship that Lei Siyu had cultivated for decades was bought by Wang Qiye's hundreds of spirit stones at this moment.
Shihua didn't envy her, she just felt sorry for her, how much of the extra 50 spiritual stones she had should be used on herself. It was better for her to be so heartless and live a comfortable life.
