Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 30: The Supreme Yang Pearl Begins to Enter the Market!
"I refuse!"

Cao Meng decisively refused, then took out a talisman and smiled at An Yingji:
"Senior sister, look what this is!"

"A low-grade fourth-tier attack talisman, how did you get it?"

An Yingji recognized it at a glance as a low-grade fourth-order talisman, but she did not expect that Cao Meng would have such a thing.

"This talisman was given to me by Martial Aunt Xia. She said its power is comparable to a full-force attack from a second-level Nascent Soul cultivator. Senior Sister, your cultivation level doesn't seem to have reached the second level of the Nascent Soul realm, does it?"

Cao Meng felt that An Yingji should keep a low profile and treat him better so that they could get along well!
"hehe!"

An Yingji sneered and said mockingly:
"Junior brother, you don't think I don't have some kind of protective treasure on me, do you?"

As An Yingji finished speaking, she also took out several fourth-order talismans.

As the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, and given that Consort Duanmu only had her as a disciple, how could An Yingji not have any protective treasures on her body!
An Yingji, rubbing her hands together in anticipation, smiled at Cao Meng and said:

"Junior brother, you'd better just take the beating. If you keep using the Crimson Furnace, I might go a little easier on you!"

An Yingji had already made up her mind. During this period, she could put aside her cultivation and focus on beating up Cao Meng and disciplining this rebellious junior brother!
Otherwise, once the opponent's cultivation level catches up, I might not be able to beat him!
You should beat up your junior brother as soon as possible!
Only by dismantling this scoundrel junior brother's rebellious nature and smoothing out his rough edges will he respect her as his senior sister in the future.

"Senior sister, do you want your share of the Supreme Yang Pearl?"

Seeing that the fourth-order talisman seemed unable to intimidate the other party, Cao Meng could only bring up the division of the Supreme Yang Pearl.

"I'll forgo the 200 low-grade spirit stones a day. I, An Yingji, will beat you up and take back the Crimson Refining Furnace today."

The Crimson Refining Furnace can be sold for at least 50,000 low-grade spirit stones. At 200 low-grade spirit stones a day, it would take nearly seven months to earn back the money.

An Yingji felt it would be better to take back the Crimson Furnace first, beat up Cao Meng, and make herself feel better!

Upon hearing An Yingji's words, Cao Meng immediately corrected her:

"Senior sister, four hundred Supreme Yang Pearls a day, that's my output at the first level of Foundation Establishment."

But now I'm at the half-step Golden Core realm, and I've awakened my innate Geng Metal body, so my Yang energy is even greater. I can refine far more than four hundred Yang Pearls every day!

Cao Meng felt that An Yingji was making a scene mainly because she hadn't offered enough benefits. He believed that once she did, everything would be fine.

Cao Meng's words eased An Yingji's anger considerably, and she then asked:
"Junior brother, how many Supreme Yang Pearls can you refine in a day?"

"The minimum requirement is at least a thousand per day. As for the exact number that can be refined, we'll have to test it out first!"

Cao Meng wasn't sure either, but he felt that consuming yang energy to refine a thousand supreme yang beads every day should be easy.

With a thousand Yang Pearls a day, An Yingji calculated that she could obtain five hundred low-grade spirit stones a day, and fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones a month!

After careful consideration, An Yingji realized that she could make up for the losses of the Crimson Furnace in about four months, which seemed reasonable!
If I work on it myself, I might be able to make back the losses in two or three months.

Moreover, judging from Cao Meng's situation, the higher the opponent's cultivation level, the more yang energy he has in his body, and the more supreme yang pearls he can refine.

Perhaps in a month or two, I'll be able to refine thousands of Yang Pearls a day, and by then, I'll be getting even more profits!
Once An Yingji understood this, she immediately changed her demeanor, transforming into a friendly older sister, and said to Cao Meng in a kind tone:

"Junior brother, how about we wipe the slate clean of what happened before?"

After all, our master only has two disciples, and she wouldn't want us, her senior and junior sister, to turn against each other!

Although Cao Meng was a scoundrel among his junior brothers, An Yingji decided to be more lenient with this unruly junior brother when faced with the prospect of personal gain.

Cao Meng nodded in agreement.

Then An Yingji took Cao Meng's hand and led him back to refine the Supreme Yang Pearl to test its actual production capacity.

...After several days of experimentation, the daily production of the Yang Pearl was guaranteed to reach at least 1,500 pieces.

Because of Cao Meng's occasional laziness and slacking off, An Yingji even suspected that the maximum production of the Zhiyang Pearl could reach more than two thousand pieces.

But when Cao Meng wanted to slack off, An Yingji couldn't do anything about it.

After all, they were business partners, and she knew that pushing the other party too far would be bad!
As the daily production of Supreme Yang Pearls increased significantly, An Yingji also began to release them into the sect's market for sale!

Only a few dozen were sold on the first day, and that was only because An Yingji forced them to sell using her status.

The same thing happened for the next few days, until the sixth day when the Yang Pearl finally took a turn for the better and started selling like hotcakes.

In the following days, all of the previous stock of Zhiyang Pearls was sold off, and the supply could not meet the demand. Some people even placed pre-orders.

An Yingji, the sales manager and logistics manager, also began to have some free time.

……

After Cao Meng's cultivation improved, he changed the number of Supreme Yang Pearls from 200 per batch to 750 per batch!

With 750 Yang Pearls in one batch, Cao Meng wasn't afraid of failure, since he had the system to guarantee his success; all he needed to do was inject Yang energy.

Cao Meng now refines one batch each morning and afternoon, with each batch containing 750 Supreme Yang Pearls.

The rest of the time they either slack off or lie around doing nothing.

He occasionally teases his senior sister An Yingji, and his life is quite pleasant!
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. Thanks to the profits from selling the Supreme Yang Pearl, Cao Meng has accumulated more than 200,000 low-grade spirit stones!

If he weren't afraid of leveling up too quickly and becoming a target for assassination, he would have already spent money to upgrade his cultivation from half-step Golden Core to the second level of Golden Core.

Cao Meng didn't care, since the cultivation level he gained from spending money would arrive instantly.

We'll just keep these 200,000 spirit stones; we'll just pretend to be weak while actually being strong.

Over the course of this month, thanks to the large influx of spirit stones, An Yingji's attitude towards Cao Meng remained relatively good.

To comfort herself, An Yingji said: Cao Meng is just a junior brother who is a little naughty. As his senior sister, she should be more tolerant and forgiving towards him!
We'll talk about other things when Cao Meng can no longer refine the Supreme Yang Pearl.

Cao Meng's courtyard...

"Finish and call it a day!"

Cao Meng shouted loudly, and a batch of Supreme Yang Pearls was completed. Just as he was about to put the Supreme Yang Pearls away, a captivating voice echoed in his ears:

"Nephew Cao Meng, there are quite a few Supreme Yang Pearls in this batch!"

Cao Meng shuddered, for he now knew who the voice belonged to.

Cao Meng hoped he had misheard, but he knew there was no such possibility. He was at the half-step Golden Core stage, how could he possibly have misheard?

Cao Meng turned around and saw that it was indeed his mature and alluring senior sister, Xia Yulan.

"Uncle Xia, what are you doing here?"

Cao Meng noticed that Xia Yulan seemed a little uneasy. It wasn't that he was afraid that Xia Yulan would find out that he had refined the Supreme Yang Pearl.

He was afraid that Xia Yulan would see him activating the Ten-Day Sacred Body to refine the Supreme Yang Pearl, thus revealing his identity as the Furnace Sacred Body.

He was also a little scared, afraid that Xia Yulan had come to ask him to taste her cooking!

No, it's for testing poison!
The spiritual meal Xia Yulan prepared was not food at all, but poison!
