Chapter 392: The Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant

"Hahaha, little brother, I understand what you mean, but the principle is the same." Gao Ling laughed.
"It's like a Third or Fourth Rank Psychic Master obtaining an S-class Mental Weapon. How much of its power can they unleash? Forget about a tenth of its potential, even a hundredth would be enough. The same goes for a Spirit Recovery Artifact. Although it's primarily for restoring Psychic Energy, not combat, the difficulty is still much lower. With your skills, once you become proficient, your Psychic Energy recovery speed will increase significantly."
"What's more valuable is that you can use this Artifact for a long time. Even when you reach the Ninth or Tenth Rank, your Psychic Energy recovery speed will still be more than double. If you become a Grandmaster, it might only be a single fold increase, or even less."
"I see." Jiang Cheng was indeed tempted after hearing this.
After all, he was only a Fifth Rank Psychic Master at present.
"Big Brother Gao, I understand what you mean. I owe Big Brother Changkong some money, and after today's batch of pills, I should have paid off my debt, right?"
"That's right," Gao Ling smiled. "I was about to tell you about this. After today's batch of pills are stored, your debt to Gu Changkong will be completely settled. From now on, your daily commission will be transferred to your account on the first of every month. That's why I wanted to discuss this with you."
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath.
Finally, the debt was settled.
"Big Brother Gao, how about this. In ten days, I'll buy a Fourth Rank Low-grade Artifact from you for restoring my Psychic Energy. Is that possible?"
"It's possible, of course, but..." Gao Ling sighed lightly, "From the price, you should know that it's several times more expensive than other Artifacts. It's highly sought after, and often there's a shortage in the market. Even here, it's the same during auctions."
He glanced at Jiang Cheng, "I'll talk to Chang Lin after I get back and see if there are any extras. If so, we'll supply them to you first."
"Great, then I'll trouble you, Big Brother Gao." Jiang Cheng replied hastily.
Such Artifacts that accelerate Psychic Energy recovery were indeed rare in the Outer District, but they might not be as uncommon in the Inner District.
After all, within the Inner District, there were not only the Gu family but also other family forces selling various weapons, pills, and Artifacts.
However, the reality was that if he wanted to leave now, he would have to inform Gao Ling first; otherwise, he wouldn't be allowed to pass through the entrance.
Leaving secretly was even more unrealistic. When he was in the Outer District, he was noticed as soon as he left. It would be even more challenging here.
The other party had this advantage, and they would likely make adjustments to the profit split or the number of pills to be supplied.
"Hahaha, don't worry, little brother. I'll take care of it. I'll definitely look after you, little brother," Gao Ling said enthusiastically, patting Jiang Cheng's shoulder.
After seeing Gao Ling and his group off, Jiang Cheng shook his head.
The other party was shrewd.
Fortunately, so was he.
After more than a month of pill refining, the experience bar was less than half full. Jiang Cheng estimated that it would take about another month for the Awakening Spirit Pill to reach perfection.
Currently, he could refine six furnaces of Top-grade Vigor Pills daily, and after submitting the required four furnaces, he would keep the remaining two for himself.
Of course, as a precaution, he had already brought the Golden Bell Meditation Diagram into the alchemy chamber and consumed it on the spot.
"It's getting late, I should head back. Tonight is the night I break through to the Grandmaster realm."
As this thought crossed Jiang Cheng's mind, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes.
After waiting for several months, this day had finally arrived.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Upon returning, Gao Ling couldn't wait to contact Gu Changlin.
The latter, upon hearing this, wore a smug expression.
"Old Gao, you did well."
"It's all thanks to your instructions, Changlin," Gao Ling chuckled, "So, tomorrow I'll take a Moonlight Jade Pendant from the warehouse and lend it to him? Of course, as a condition, he must refine at least five furnaces of top-grade Awakening Spirit Pills for us every day from now on."
"Old brother, is there a possibility that he's already refining five furnaces of pills daily, but only giving us four?" Gu Changlin suddenly asked.
"What do you mean, Changlin?"
Gao Ling's smile immediately vanished upon hearing this, "He's either holding back or has already refined five furnaces but only gives us four?"
"Yes, I asked him again, and his alchemy skills have improved rapidly, almost every ten days or so, there's progress, but this time, it's been more than a month since he came here, right?"
"A month and a half, I think."
Gao Ling pondered.
"Changlin, is it that the Awakening Spirit Pill is too difficult? After all, it's a third-rank pill."
It's also hard to prevent such things.
If they were to assign someone to watch him all day, Jiang Cheng would surely be unhappy, and might even say that the constant surveillance affects his performance.
"You have a point, forget it, maybe I'm overthinking."
Gu Changlin shrugged.
"The other option is to lend him a Green Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant, but the condition is that he must refine at least five furnaces of top-grade Awakening Spirit Pills daily."
"And the other one?"
Gao Ling had a guess in mind.
"The other one is to lend him a Green Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant, which is a fifth-rank basic artifact. It can be used by a fourth-rank Mental Master, doubling the speed of mental recovery during meditation."
This pendant is the pinnacle of the Gu family's Artificer's creations, a fifth-rank basic treasure, priced between ten and twenty billion.
Gao Ling quickly understood Gu Changlin's intention.
"The condition is a ten percent share?"
"Exactly."
A faint smile played on Gu Changlin's lips.
"The Green Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant is worth nearly a hundred million, even if he earns ten million a day, it'll take several years to repay. We're taking a huge risk, so a ten percent share is reasonable.
Additionally, the number of furnaces he refines daily must not be less than five, and after some time, it should increase to six or more."
