I am so kind – chapter 55

Yu Mi and Zi Yunshu turned their heads to look at Bao Gu at the same time. Yu Mi, feeling a bit embarrassed, got up from the ground. Just as she steadied herself, she was kicked in the buttocks by Zi Yunshu, who had leaped up. Caught off guard, Yu Mi lost her balance and fell face-first into the snow. She quickly got up and turned around to attack Zi Yunshu again.

Zi Yunshu, not one to be underestimated, calmly counterattacked Yu Mi’s assault.

Above the snow-covered courtyard, the figures of one in white and one in purple flipped and flew, their swords clashing and creating a constant din.

Seeing that the two of them were not only not stopping but had started to spar with their sword techniques, and her cultivation level was too low to even see their moves clearly, Bao Gu could only see a blur of figures and swords. She had no choice but to avoid the courtyard covered in sword light and return to her simple bedroom.

She summoned the Duobao Spirit Monkey, which she had hidden away, and said, “Teach me how to brew Monkey Wine!”

The Duobao Spirit Monkey looked at Bao Gu with wide eyes, scratching its head in confusion.

Bao Gu thought for a moment and said, “I don’t want to brew the Supreme Monkey Wine; I just want to brew some ordinary Monkey Wine made from third or fourth-grade spiritual fruits and herbs, suitable for cultivators below the Golden Core stage.”

The Duobao Spirit Monkey thought for a moment, then jumped onto Bao Gu’s shoulder, its small paw touching her forehead.

Images began to appear in Bao Gu’s mind: lush forests full of spiritual energy and the Duobao Spirit Monkey brewing Monkey Wine. The process of brewing was imprinted in her mind, with many key points explained by a childish voice.

Brewing Monkey Wine was extremely complex. Not just any fruit could be piled together for brewing. It required a reasonable combination of various spiritual fruits and the incorporation of appropriate spiritual herbs. The brewing time and temperature also needed to be precisely controlled!

Besides needing a large amount of spiritual fruits and herbs, brewing this kind of Monkey Wine also required a constant temperature environment and a special kind of storage called the Heavenly Spirit Wood Cavity. If there was no Heavenly Spirit Wood, then Earth Spirit Wood or Divine Spirit Wood could also be used. If none of these three types of spirit woods were available, then a ninth-grade spirit wood with the effect of nourishing the soul could also work.

Bao Gu knew that all spiritual herbs and fruits needed abundant spiritual energy to grow. The higher their grade, the higher the requirements. For example, Heavenly Spirit Fruit Trees needed to be rooted in spiritual veins to survive. Where would she find Heavenly Spirit Fruit Trees and spiritual veins to brew Monkey Wine?

She knew that the Duobao Spirit Monkey must have spiritual veins and sacred trees like Heavenly Spirit Fruit Trees, Earth Spirit Fruit Trees, and Yuan Shen Fruit Trees in its belly; otherwise, it couldn’t brew so much Supreme Monkey Wine! After thinking for a while, she asked the Duobao Spirit Monkey if it was willing to trade a small amount of spiritual herbs for a large amount like it did today with the sect leader.

The Duobao Spirit Monkey nodded vigorously.

Bao Gu said, “Brew some Monkey Wine, and I’ll buy the spiritual fruits and herbs you use at five times their price!”

The Duobao Spirit Monkey’s eyes widened in surprise, and it scratched its head non-stop.

Bao Gu continued, “I won’t take the Supreme Monkey Wine. Just use third, fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade spiritual fruits to brew the wine, and brew it in large quantities. I’ll take as much as you can make! This way, I can sell the wine to cultivators in the Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and Golden Core stages. The money from selling the wine can be used to buy a large amount of spiritual fruits and herbs for you. The wine doesn’t need to be aged for too long; storing it for half a year, one year, two years, three years, five years, or ten years is all fine. Do you understand?”

The Duobao Spirit Monkey nodded.

Bao Gu asked, “Are you willing to trade at a five-to-one ratio?”

The Duobao Spirit Monkey blinked, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, grinning and “squeaking” before jumping onto Bao Gu’s shoulder and hugging her neck tightly. It raised its left paw to form the number one and spread its right paw to show the number five, looking back and forth between the two numbers, clearly delighted.

Bao Gu laughed and said, “Then it’s settled! Go and brew the wine!”

The Duobao Spirit Monkey “squeaked” and jumped off Bao Gu’s shoulder, but in the next instant, it jumped back in front of her. Following that, a sky full of wine gourds rained down, filling the spacious bedroom to the brim.

Bao Gu hadn’t even reacted before she was buried by the wine gourds!

The Duobao Spirit Monkey kept “squeaking” non-stop, seemingly very pleased with itself.

Hearing the commotion, the two people fighting outside hurriedly stopped and rushed to the bedroom door, only to see the mountain of wine gourds blocking the door.

Yu Mi and Zi Yunshu were about to rush forward to collect all the wine when the gourds suddenly disappeared, snatched away by someone else! They quickly entered the room and saw Bao Gu patting her chest and saying, “I was almost buried!”

Seeing Yu Mi and Zi Yunshu eyeing her greedily, Bao Gu asked, “Are you done fighting?”

Zi Yunshu asked, “Where’s the wine?”

Bao Gu feigned ignorance, “What wine?”

Zi Yunshu revealed her white teeth with a smile and said, “Do you want to be stripped again?”

Bao Gu swallowed and pointed at the Duobao Spirit Monkey, saying, “Ask the little monkey for it!” As soon as her words fell, the Duobao Spirit Monkey “squeaked” and vanished without a trace, with several more “squeaks” heard from afar.

Bao Gu knew that was the Duobao Spirit Monkey saying, “Don’t forget to give me five times the spiritual herbs and fruits!”

Yu Mi and Zi Yunshu interpreted it as: If you have the ability, come chase me and try to snatch it!

Who could catch that darn monkey!

They had been so engrossed in their sparring that they hadn’t noticed what Bao Gu and the Duobao Spirit Monkey were discussing, which suddenly resulted in so much Monkey Wine. They both looked curiously at Bao Gu.

After hesitating for a moment, Bao Gu still decided to tell them about her deal with the Duobao Spirit Monkey.

Yu Mi couldn’t help but sigh, “Swindler!”

Zi Yunshu echoed, “Swindler!”

Bao Gu said, “I’m planning to open a wine shop!” She stood up and continued, “I’ve thought it over. Our Xuantian Sect has been facing a lot of trouble lately, and I’ve been closely watched. Plus, I need to cultivate, so naturally, I can’t sell the wine myself.”

She glanced at Yu Mi and Zi Yunshu and added, “And the wine can’t go through you two either. I’m worried I won’t even be able to recover the cost.” As expected, her words were met with rolled eyes from both of them.

Bao Gu continued, “Xuantian Sect is poor, and there’s no profit in selling within the sect. But I’m quite resourceful. I’ll contribute ten jars of each type of wine to the sect leader every month.”

Zi Yunshu’s expression softened: If you contribute to my father, what’s the difference between contributing to me?

Bao Gu turned to Yu Mi and said, “Senior Sister, could you please invite Master Feng?”

Yu Mi asked, “What do you need him for?”

Bao Gu replied, “To sell wine! Master Feng has a good relationship with Governor Lu, who has quite some influence in Xuan Yue Ancient City. To sell this wine, we need to leverage Governor Lu’s influence.”

She grinned and added, “Once we become solid business partners with Qing Feng Pavilion, for the sake of keeping me, their god of wealth, Qing Feng Pavilion will have to help us fight against Tai Yin Sect, right?”

Zi Yunshu looked deeply at Bao Gu for a while and asked, “How old are you this year?”

Bao Gu replied, “Fourteen!”

Zi Yunshu said, “Fourteen, and you’re like a little schemer! I’ll call Master Feng and my father over right now.”

Bao Gu said, “Wait! Let me check the inventory and keep the accounts first. Little Martial Aunt, Senior Sister, you can go out and continue fighting.” Without waiting for their reaction, she turned and sat at the table in the living room, taking out a wolf skin scroll she had prepared earlier as an account book and asking Yu Mi for a brush and ink. She meticulously recorded the types of Monkey Wine from her oversized storage bag in the account book.

The Duobao Spirit Monkey had given her a wide variety of Monkey Wine!

From first to sixth-grade Monkey Wine, each grade had different types of wine, including some brewed from Zhu Ming fruits. Zhu Ming fruits had the effect of purifying the body, and Bao Gu’s pure constitution was thanks to Zhu Ming fruits. The effects of the Monkey Wine brewed from Zhu Ming fruits were many times better than eating the fruits directly! Of course, the price would also be many times higher.

Bao Gu meticulously recorded the Monkey Wine from her oversized storage bag in the account book, calculating the cost price, the expenses for running the business, and her own profit, to set a selling price. She was so busy that she didn’t even lift her head, working all night until she finished.

After finishing, she said, “Alright, Senior Sister, Little Martial Aunt, please go and invite…” Before she could finish, she looked up and saw several people sitting in the room, waiting leisurely.

The sect leader, Master Feng, Sect Master Lu, and two old men she hadn’t seen before were sitting nearby, with her Senior Sister and Little Martial Aunt sitting behind her.

Bao Gu paused, coughed awkwardly, and stood up, bowing respectfully, “Greetings to the sect leader, Master Feng, Sect Master Lu, and the two unknown senior elders…”

Sect Leader Zi Tianjun looked at Bao Gu with a smile and asked, “Are you done?”

Bao Gu chuckled and nodded lightly, saying, “I’m done, sorry to keep everyone waiting. As everyone knows, there are no father-son relationships in business. Clear accounts make for fewer disputes and conflicts. Many business disputes, partner betrayals, and family feuds are caused by unclear accounts.”

Sect Leader Zi Tianjun hummed in agreement, saying, “Seems to make some sense!”

Bao Gu smiled and turned to the two unfamiliar elders, asking, “May I know how to address the two seniors?”

Sect Master Lu said, “These two are the left and right elders of Qing Feng Pavilion’s Elder Council! I heard from Brother Feng that you want to partner with me to sell Monkey Wine, so I brought the two elders from the Elder Council along.”

Bao Gu thought to herself, “Such a big show of force, are they afraid I’ll back out?”

Sect Leader Zi Tianjun said to Bao Gu, “Sit down and talk.”

Bao Gu said, “It’s like this. I think you all know the origin of this little monkey by my side! Last night, I reached an agreement with it. It will help me brew Monkey Wine, supplying it in large quantities over the long term. In other words, as long as I can afford the spiritual fruits and herbs, I can have as much Monkey Wine as I want. Sect Leader, Governor Lu, if you can gather the ninth-grade sacred fruits and herbs needed to brew Supreme Monkey Wine, getting Supreme Monkey Wine would be a piece of cake.”

As she spoke, she carefully observed the reactions of the few important figures in the room, indeed noticing subtle reactions from them.
