Chapter 176: Getting Rich

Mo Hua went to visit Mr. Zhuang the next day. After all, he was Mr. Zhuang's registered disciple. He had been trapped in the spirit mine for a long time, but he had never come to greet him. Mo Hua felt a little sorry.

Mr. Zhuang was still sleeping, so Mo Hua played five-element chess with Master Kui for a while.

After so long, their chess skills were still the same, and there was basically no improvement.

However, it was not good to spend too much time on a simple chess game like five-element chess. It was more interesting to just kill each other.

Mo Hua and Master Kui met each other in chess, and they fought hard.

When Mr. Zhuang woke up, Mo Hua felt a little unsatisfied. He said goodbye to Master Kui and paid a visit to Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang basically let Mo Hua go, letting him learn on his own and ask questions when he had any. He didn't say anything about it.

Before leaving, Mr. Zhuang praised him, "Well done."

Mo Hua was very happy and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

It was only after leaving Mr. Zhuang's bamboo room that Mo Hua felt a little confused.

I clearly didn't say anything to Mr. Zhuang, but Mr. Zhuang seemed to know everything...

He also praised him for doing a good job.

Mo Hua frowned. How did Mr. Zhuang know?

Mo Hua was a little confused, but then he thought, Mr. Zhuang is an expert, maybe he can tell the truth, and it's normal for Mr. Zhuang to know about it since they had such a big commotion with the Qian family.

Mo Hua nodded, and didn't take it to heart.

Mo Hua went to see Bai Zisheng and his sister again.

Bai Zisheng's eyes lit up when he saw Mo Hua, and then he complained and asked him where he had been during this period.

Mo Hua told him about the spiritual mine.

Bai Zisheng was excited and envious.

Bai Zixi on the side seemed to be reading a book, but he was also listening intently, his autumn water-like eyes flickered, and he didn't even notice that the book in his hand was crooked.

"Next time there is such a thing, you must call me, I will help you!" Bai Zisheng said with high morale.

"It's useless to call you. Aunt Xue won't let you go." Mo Hua said lightly.

Mo Hua's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Bai Zisheng's head.

Bai Zisheng lost his dream instantly, lying on the ground like an eggplant hit by frost, feeling that his life had become much darker.

Mo Hua sighed, "I'll bring you some food tomorrow."

Bai Zisheng sat up immediately, "It must be spicy!"

"Okay." Mo Hua said helplessly, turning his head to see Bai Zixi looking at him, his eyes sparkling.

Mo Hua thought for a while and said, "My mother is making jade cakes. I haven't eaten them yet, but they smell good. I'll bring some for you to try tomorrow to see if they taste good."

Bai Zixi nodded gently, looking quite relaxed.

The next day, Mo Hua brought food as promised.

Bai Zisheng ate heartily, while Bai Zixi ate the fragrant cakes like white jade in small bites, like a kitten, with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, Mo Hua couldn't help but smile with narrowed eyes.

A few days later, Elder Yu asked Mo Hua to go to the warehouse of the Monster Hunting Company to collect spirit stones.

There are a lot of spirit stones mined from the spirit mine, and they cannot be distributed all at once, otherwise it is easy to squander them or be robbed by others, causing many troubles.

The Monster Hunting Company also needs to reserve a sufficient amount of spirit stones for emergency needs.

Therefore, the spirit stones in the warehouse should be taken in batches according to merits, and pay attention to the long-term use of spirit stones, so that the use of spirit stones can be more long-term.

Mo Hua lined up outside the warehouse, and soon he was assigned a storage bag with about 300 spirit stones in it, which was heavy in his arms.

More than 300!

It's enough for a long time, and in the short term, there is no need to worry about spirit stones.

And this is the first batch, there should be more after a while.

Mo Hua was very happy.

Not only Mo Hua, but all the demon hunters who came to collect the spirit stones had smiles on their faces. Some of them looked unbelievable and even cried with joy after getting the spirit stones.

When have the casual cultivators who struggled to make a living at the bottom seen so many spirit stones?

With these spirit stones, the children no longer had to go hungry, their cultivation was settled, and they no longer had to work so hard to earn spirit stones.

Under heavy pressure, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

And this kind of life can last for ten years!

Mo Hua was somewhat relieved, but on second thought, his mood became heavy again.

What about ten years later?

Mo Hua frowned.

Ten years later, when the spirit stones were used up, wouldn't everyone still live the same life as before, licking blood on the tip of a knife, bitter and difficult?

Mo Hua thought of Aunt Meng, Aunt Jiang, Da Hu and the other three, and other familiar demon hunters.

Thinking of the tears they shed in life, the blood they shed in demon hunting, their bitterness and pain, and their lives hanging by a thread.

Mo Hua's mood became even heavier.

Is there any way to make everyone live a good life longer?

This thought lingered in Mo Hua's mind.

Mo Hua thought about it when he was eating, thinking about it when he was practicing, and thinking about it when he was drawing the formation.

One day, Mo Hua was flipping through the formation book, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

He ran to the warehouse of the monster hunting business and found Elder Yu.

There were a lot of spirit stones stored in the warehouse, and Elder Yu was worried, so he was stationed here in person these days.

Mo Hua asked: "Elder Yu, how did the Qian family make a fortune?"

Elder Yu was slightly surprised, but he thought about it and said:

"The ancestor of the Qian family was also a monster hunter at the beginning. Later, he saved a lot of spirit stones and stopped being a monster hunter. He started to do things like refining equipment and refining pills..."

"The demon hunter killed the demon beast, and he took the materials at a low price. He hired casual cultivators to make spiritual tools and elixirs, and then sold them to the demon hunters at a high price."

"Later, he became bigger and bigger, the price of materials became lower and lower, the time hired casual cultivators worked became longer and longer, the spiritual tools and elixirs sold became more and more expensive, and their Qian family naturally became richer and richer."

Mo Hua asked in confusion: "Isn't there anyone competing with them?"

"We can't compete." Elder Yu shook his head, "We are not as evil as them, and our methods are not as cruel as them. We can't compete with them."

Mo Hua said again: "I heard that the Qian family started from scratch."

Elder Yu was disdainful, "That's the Qian family gilding themselves."

"Isn't that right?"

Elder Yu scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense, and confirmed that there was nothing unusual. Then he sat down, drank a cup of tea, and talked to Mo Hua:

"I just said that the ancestor of the Qian family saved a lot of spiritual stones. Guess how he saved these spiritual stones?"

Mo Hua thought about it carefully and was suddenly surprised.

Elder Yu raised his eyebrows, "We are all demon hunters, why can't others save up, but he can? The spiritual stones that can open a weapon and alchemy business are not a small amount, and a normal demon hunter can't save up in his lifetime..."

Mo Hua's eyes fixed, "Then what did he do?"

Elder Yu said, "The demon hunters of the older generation told me that the ancestor of the Qian family had evil intentions since he was a child. He followed others to hunt demons and even killed his companions. He took the inner pills of the demon beasts for himself. Later, he pretended to be a bandit and robbed in the Big Black Mountain. He also cheated and deceived behind the scenes. As long as he could earn spiritual stones, he would do anything. This is how he saved up the first spiritual stones..."

Elder Yu sneered again, "A horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth. How can there be so many people who start from scratch in this world?"

Mo Hua was secretly shocked when he heard it.

After Elder Yu finished gossiping, he drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat. Then he remembered something and said, "You came here, not to talk to me about this, what's the matter?"

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Elder Yu, let's open a weapon refining business and an alchemy business to earn spirit stones!"

Elder Yu laughed and said, "Silly child, the Qian family killed people and robbed goods, cheated and deceived, and only then could they save up the spirit stones to make a fortune. Where can we get so much capital..."

Mo Hua smiled and said, "We don't need to kill people and rob goods, cheat and deceive, and we have the capital."

Elder Yu shook his head and wanted to say something, but suddenly his heart jumped and he turned to look at the warehouse.

The warehouse was piled with dense spirit stones! They were spirit stones that had just been dug out from the spirit mine and exchanged from Dao Tingsi!

"But... it's not that easy to refine weapons and pills."

"There are also many alchemists and weapon refiners among the casual cultivators. If there are not enough people, just spend more spirit stones to hire them."

Elder Yu frowned and thought for a while, "The most troublesome thing is the refining furnace and the alchemy furnace. If you want to expand your business, you need large and high-quality refining furnaces and alchemy furnaces."

"Is it difficult to refine the refining furnace and the alchemy furnace?"

"Refining requires a lot of manpower, material resources and refined iron, but the most difficult and core thing is still inside the furnace..."

When Elder Yu said this, his heart suddenly jumped, and he couldn't help looking at Mo Hua.

The core is the... formation inside the furnace!

Elder Yu thought about it from beginning to end, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

Everything is ready! They don't lack anything!

They have spirit stones, they have manpower, and the most difficult formation... they already have Mo Hua.

Elder Yu was a little bit unbelievable for a moment.
