Assembling surrogate skeletons, the assembly line is producing frantically
“How was it? How was it?”
As soon as they returned to Zhan Yue Peak, Qiao Linger eagerly urged him to answer.
With a wave of Shen Fan’s right hand,
twenty qiankun bags appeared neatly on the stone table in the courtyard.
“Full to the brim, all twenty are completely filled!”
Shen Fan said with a smile.
“Ooh-hoo!”
Qiao Ling’er jumped up excitedly.
“How many must there be!”
Shen Fan estimated, “At least tens of thousands can be assembled!”
“That many?”
Qiao Ling’er’s bright eyes widened, and then she began to count on her fingers.
“An outside substitute death skull can be sold for about a thousand Spirit Stones. If we calculate it at fifty thousand, then wouldn’t that be…?”
“One zero, two zeros…”
“Oh dear, Junior Brother, I can’t figure it out, help me calculate!”
Shen Fan looked at the adorable Qiao Ling’er and dotingly patted her head, “With your playful demeanor, calling me Junior Brother doesn’t quite fit. Calling me Senior Brother would suit your temperament more!”
“Really?”
Qiao Ling’er blinked her eyes and sweetly smiled, “If you like it, then I’ll call you Senior Brother, Gege, okay?”
As she spoke, she snuggled against Shen Fan.
“Hehe! Good, good, good!”
Her soft, sweet voice instantly melted Shen Fan’s heart.
“Then, Gege, can you help me calculate how much money we can earn this time?”
Shen Fan immediately set about calculating: “Conservatively estimated, fifty thousand substitute death skulls, and we need to sell them before the bone mine pit is developed. Otherwise, once that mine pit is developed, the price of substitute death skulls will experience a sharp drop!
We need to work hard these next few days to assemble all the bones, then engrave the spirit patterns and sell them.
At a price of one thousand per piece, fifty thousand can be sold for fifty million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Calculating by the difference in Spirit Stone grades, that would be five hundred thousand Medium Grade Spirit Stones, fifty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, or five thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones!”
“Only five thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones? Is that so little?”
Qiao Ling’er pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, “We put in so much effort for so little?”
“Silly girl!”
Shen Fan gave a wry smile, “Do you have no concept of price? Look at it in terms of Low-Grade Spirit Stones!”
Qiao Ling’er’s eyes lit up, “Then that’s fifty million Low-Grade Spirit Stones?”
“That’s right!”
Shen Fan stroked Qiao Ling’er’s smooth, tender hand and said, “Moreover, have you ever seen a High-Grade Spirit Stone? Have you ever seen a Top-Grade Spirit Stone?”
Qiao Ling’er shook her head, “No, I haven’t!”
“So, be content. Besides, it’s not certain if we can even sell them at such a high price. With over fifty thousand, assuming no large-scale battles occur, even Tianxuan Sect might not be able to absorb so many!”
This was what Shen Fan was worried about.
“Never mind, we’re rich, aren’t we?”
As Qiao Ling’er said this, she seemed to recall something unpleasant.
She lowered her head, looking a little disheartened.
Fifty million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Back then, for twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, she had sold herself.
Thinking about it now, she was truly foolish back then.
Looking at the man in front of her, the one she felt worthy of dedicating her life to, she regretted not being able to give her first time to him. Qiao Ling’er felt she had let Shen Fan down.
Seemingly sensing that Qiao Ling’er’s mood was a bit off,
Shen Fan immediately called Qiao Ling’er to start assembling.
A human body has 206 bones, which can be divided into 29 skull bones, 51 trunk bones, and 126 limb bones.
The reason why substitute death skulls were so expensive was precisely because each bone was hard-earned.
It was said that many major powers had their own substitute death skull breeding bases, where they buried deceased people in specific extremely yin locations and then cultivated them. In just a few years, they could produce large quantities of substitute death skulls.
substitute death skulls genuinely formed in the wild were absolutely hard to come by.
Moreover, their quality and number of uses were much higher.
Therefore, Shen Fan had not considered this point.
If calculated at their actual price, these high-quality substitute death skulls absolutely had the potential to sell for around five thousand per piece.
Subsequently, Shen Fan and Qiao Ling’er began to select them.
Qiao Ling’er was responsible for sorting, placing identical bones together.
Shen Fan was responsible for assembling and engraving spirit patterns.
Because he had experience with Talismans, engraving spirit patterns on substitute death skulls was effortless for him.
There weren't enough people, and they couldn't ask outsiders for help.
What to do?
Qiao Ling’er directly summoned all her little companions.
Hundreds of different types of Yao Beasts, spiritual pets, all over the mountains and plains, were called out.
These hundreds of different types of Yao Beasts began to sort according to Qiao Ling’er’s instructions.
Meanwhile, Shen Fan focused on assembling.
At this moment,
Heaven and Earth Puppet Score was operating at its peak in Shen Fan’s hands.
The first layer of Thread Control - Puppet Creation, at Perfection Realm, branched into countless spiritual threads, instantly pulling 206 bones from the sorted piles and assembling them in mid-air.
Then, spirit patterns were engraved, like a stamp.
Immediately after, a lifelike, vivid human skeleton appeared before them.
The entire process was as fast and fluid as an assembly line, naturally seamless.
In less than a day,
Shen Fan and Qiao Ling’er, working together, assembled all the bones.
The estimated fifty thousand skeletons were actually fewer.
Unexpectedly, after coming out, there were actually a full sixty-six thousand.
And there was still a pile of unused bones left over.
Qiao Ling’er: “Gege, what should we do with these leftover bones? Throw them away?”
“What a waste!”
Shen Fan playfully flicked Qiao Ling’er’s nose, “We don’t need these, but once the bone mine pit is opened, we can sell them to others!”
“Also, they still have five or six days before they return. I think we can use this time to go in again and get some more!”
People getting rich usually takes one or two years.
Getting rich in the cultivation world is a matter of one or two days.
From then on, rising swiftly and looking down on all others, it all depends on this wave.
...
...
Seven days passed in a flash.
Shen Fan went four times, returning empty-handed twice.
The first two times were good; he brought out some and killed a few weaker bone beasts.
The last two times, he actually stirred up a big fellow inside.
If he hadn’t escaped quickly, he might have been left inside permanently.
On the horizon, the sky glowed with brilliant light, stretching for thousands of miles.
Several flying boats appeared on the horizon, moving from far to near, changing from a small dot to dozens of zhang in size.
The flying boats landed steadily on the Outer Sect Wen Dao Ping Square.
Hundreds of Outer Sect and Inner Sect Disciples, Elders, and the Sect Master disembarked one after another.
They all wore smiles and looked joyful, clearly very satisfied with the results of this competition.
“What a pity, what a pity! I didn’t expect Lingjian Sect, after being buried for ten years, to hide such a wild horse as Pei Xinglan!”
“Yes! I originally thought that the ignorant Pei Xingye was the future successor of Lingjian Sect, but I didn’t expect him to have a younger brother who was hidden for ten years, and then suddenly defeated Saint Xue Hanzhou and the Saintess of Ice Fire Sect, becoming first!”
“But it’s still good, the Saint got second place, which is not bad!”
...
...
Shen Fan and Qiao Ling’er mingled with the crowd to greet their Revered Master and the others.
Unexpectedly, they heard such explosive news.
