Chapter 211: Qi Huang, I’ll Kill You
Qi Huang did this not because she was bored. There were two reasons: first, to make up for the awkwardness of the main body’s mission failure, and second, to find a sales channel for Cat’s Eye Tears. She had obtained so many Nine Nether Demonic Cats, and her own resources should be used for her own sect first.
Qi Huang didn’t know that her actions were directly putting Cheng Hong Ling, whose mission had failed, on the spot. But it didn’t matter. She always acted after careful consideration, and even if the main body were cooked, she would have a way to save her.
Qi Huang bought nine jade bottles. Next, she needed to understand how to make “Cat’s Eye Tears.” She wouldn’t be so foolish as to sell the pure tears.
“Yaoyao, do you know how to make Cat’s Eye Tears?”
Qi Huang directly asked Yaoyao. This could be considered “making use of waste.” It wouldn’t hurt to ask.
“I do, but why should I tell you? Give me something…”
Yaoyao sneered. The Nine Nether Demonic Cat clan had fallen to their current state because of “Cat’s Eye Tears,” so she really didn’t want to bring up the matter.
“The reason is simple. I need resources for my cultivation. Only by becoming strong enough can I become a qualified cat owner. Don’t you agree?”
Qi Huang used both emotion and reason.
“That’s right. For the first time, your reason makes me feel that you are still a sane person.”
Yaoyao rarely praised someone.
“Thank you for your affirmation. Can you tell me how to make Nine Nether Demonic Cat tears now?”
Qi Huang quickly pressed.
Yaoyao turned out to be a cat girl of her word, so she immediately told Qi Huang the recipe for Cat’s Eye Tears. Qi Huang felt completely at ease after hearing it. Not only was the method of making “Cat’s Eye Tears” simple, but the other ingredients were not as valuable as the tears of the Nine Nether Demonic Cat. They were all common medicinal herbs.
Qi Huang understood after thinking about it. These things were meant to be fillers. If they were too valuable, wouldn’t it be more trouble than it was worth?
Qi Huang then immediately went to buy enough medicinal materials. She also prepared a set of tools for making them. The next step was to wait for the full moon.
Two days passed in a flash. Qi Huang was a little worried that her main body would return midway and hinder her actions. Unexpectedly, Cheng Hong Ling was dragging her feet and never showed up. This unintentionally provided her with favorable conditions.
In a blink of an eye, it was the night of the full moon. Qi Huang quietly left the HongHua Sect. Because the Nine Nether Demonic Cats had to see the moon to shed tears, the process of collecting tears could not be completed in the storage ring. She had to find a suitable, unoccupied place.
Qi Huang arrived outside and began to look for a suitable location. Because the Yin energy in this world was too heavy, only near the HongHua Sect could moonlight be seen. Therefore, she couldn’t go too far and had to be as careful as possible.
Qi Huang spent some time finding a secluded spot and then released the nine Nine Nether Demonic Cats, placing nine jade bottles on the ground.
With Yaoyao mediating, the nine demonic cats were very obedient and obediently squatted in front of the jade bottles.
As Qi Huang waited anxiously, the moon in the sky finally reached its fullest state.
The Nine Nether Demonic Cats on the ground glanced at the moon, and then their pair of green eyes began to become crystal clear, and tears rolled down like pearls.
“Great!”
Qi Huang was so excited that she danced. Every drop of these tears was valuable.
“Remember what you said. If you can’t do it in the future, I’ll use your soul to feed the cats.”
Yaoyao couldn’t stand Qi Huang’s smugness and couldn’t help but warn her.
“Uh…”
Qi Huang was severely reprimanded and quickly restrained herself.
As time went by, the few Nine Nether Demonic Cats finally ran out of tears. Qi Huang excitedly checked and found that each of them had shed about half a bottle, which was simply “high-yield.” Indeed, such miraculous little things couldn’t be viewed with ordinary eyes.
Qi Huang calculated slightly. Nine half bottles were equivalent to four and a half bottles. She had learned beforehand that the pure tears of the demonic cats could be made into “Cat’s Eye Tears” used by cultivators at a ratio of one to ten. This meant that her harvest this time could produce forty to fifty bottles of “Cat’s Eye Tears.”
Forty to fifty bottles of Cat’s Eye Tears, even if each bottle was sold for at least one thousand taels, that would be forty to fifty thousand taels. It was simply sitting on a gold mine.
“With money, I won’t have to look for Ghost Tomatoes myself. I’ll just post a bounty and get everyone to help me find them. This will be much faster.”
Qi Huang secretly rejoiced. Of course, growing vegetables was still necessary, and the seeds couldn’t be wasted. With both methods, invincibility could come sooner.
After collecting the Cat’s Eye Tears, Qi Huang put those “little ancestors” back into the storage ring. Her cautious manner began to resemble that of a “poop scooper.”
“These are a bunch of ancestors. So be it if I’m a poop scooper.”
Qi Huang thought subconsciously because she knew that if she didn’t scoop poop, there would be plenty of people to do it for her.
Qi Huang put away a few bottles of Cat’s Eye Tears and excitedly headed back. The next step was to make them.
Qi Huang hid in her bedroom, and under Yaoyao’s guidance, she spent two or three days and finally “diluted” four or five bottles of pure tears into fifty bottles of “Cat’s Eye Tears.”
Qi Huang looked at the densely packed small bottles on the table excitedly, her eyes shining.
“Alas, forty to fifty bottles are good, but if they could be diluted further, there would definitely be a few more bottles.”
Qi Huang sighed again.
“You are simply a shameless profiteer. This is already the lowest standard. Diluting it further would be a counterfeit product, and then you would be hunted by the entire cultivation world. I’m going to run away anyway, so good luck to yourself.”
Yaoyao scolded angrily.
“Don’t be angry, I’m just kidding. I’m selling this to the disciples of the HongHua Sect. I can’t cheat my own people, right?”
Qi Huang quickly explained. She was just afraid of being poor and always had anxiety. If she were to actually make counterfeit products, her conscience wouldn’t allow it.
“Who knows? People like you! You’re more like a ghost than I am.”
Yaoyao couldn’t help but mock.
Qi Huang smiled indifferently and then quickly put the “Cat’s Eye Tears” into the storage ring, as if she was afraid they would be snatched away.
“Mission accomplished. I can finally rest now, but why hasn’t the main body returned yet? What exactly is she up to?”
Qi Huang muttered to herself in confusion.
…
Outside the HongHua Sect, Cheng Hong Ling had been hiding in a secluded place for an hour. She paced back and forth in small steps, never mustering the courage to enter the main gate. The reason was that her mission had failed, and she had not obtained the Nine Nether Demonic Cat.
Cheng Hong Ling knew very well that the HongHua Sect had no stock of Cat’s Eye Tears, so she had gone with the fate of the entire sect on her shoulders. But now she had returned empty-handed. How could she explain this to everyone?
The more Cheng Hong Ling thought about it, the less courageous she became, so she could only cower and not dare to enter. In her sixteen years of life, this was the first time she had ever been so timid.
At this moment, Qi Huang contacted her through mind transmission.
“Where are you? The high-level figures of the HongHua Sect have already asked me several times.”
Qi Huang asked anxiously. She was puzzled. Going by the main body’s speed, she should have arrived long ago, but until now, she had only heard her voice and not seen her person.
“Almost there, almost there.”
Cheng Hong Ling replied absentmindedly.
“Almost where? Can you give me a definite answer?”
Qi Huang asked helplessly. She was waiting for the main body to return so she could make money.
“Are you annoying? You’ll get there when you get there.”
Cheng Hong Ling was already in a bad mood, and at this moment, being rushed so urgently, she finally exploded.
“What the hell? Where is all this anger coming from? Did she get her period?”
Qi Huang guessed, but then she felt it was wrong. The main body was the same day as herself, so how could she suddenly get angry, as if she had leaked something.
After a moment of thought, Qi Huang quickly reacted and then tentatively asked, “You didn’t catch that Nine Nether Demonic Cat this time, did you?”
“How do you know?”
Cheng Hong Ling asked in surprise.
“If you had caught it, wouldn’t you have come back joyfully? Now you’re obviously too embarrassed to come back.”
Qi Huang teased.
“Yes, I didn’t catch it. My luck was bad this time. I encountered a guy in the Shentong Realm, and I couldn’t defeat him at all. Please don’t tell anyone else in the sect about this. I’m afraid it will cause panic.”
Cheng Hong Ling quickly instructed.
“If you didn’t find it, you didn’t find it. How can you hide it?”
Qi Huang asked with a half-smile.
“Then what do you think we should do? If I tell the truth, how can I face the high-level figures of the sect and my master? If I lie, I really can’t produce the Nine Nether Demonic Cat.”
Cheng Hong Ling said in distress.
“It’s okay. I’ve already told them for you. Although you didn’t catch the Nine Nether Demonic Cat, you found a way to buy Cat’s Eye Tears. From now on, anyone who wants them can just buy them from you with money. Everyone is waiting for you to come back and deliver Cat’s Eye Tears.”
Qi Huang suggested.
Cheng Hong Ling was silent for a moment, then shouted, “Qi Huang, I’ll kill you.”
