CHAPTER 186: CHAPTER 158 WORTH THE MEAL! (1/5)_1

[Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine]: An extremely rare and miraculous spiritual medicine. It can be applied externally or taken internally and is capable of curing any disease in the world upon use!

Chen Mo immediately took out the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine and examined it. As expected, it was not bound.

Items synthesized by self-studying the formula can be traded freely, he realized. I don’t even need to be a Pharmacist to make it. Aren’t I going to be rich now?

As he fiddled with the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine in his hand, he started to chuckle gleefully.

Just as Chen Mo thought he had found the path to riches, he suddenly received The Heavenly Path’s Hint.

[Since this formula is a permanently limited formula, this synthesis will consume one crafting charge. You currently have nine crafting charges left.]

"The permanent limitation is still in place, so I guess I’m not going to get as rich as I thought!"

Although Chen Mo grumbled, he wasn’t surprised; after all, he had considered this possibility.

However, this didn’t prevent him from making money; ten bottles of Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine already represented a significant gain.

But before he could fully savor his excitement, another Heavenly Path’s Hint popped up.

[Once a permanently limited formula reaches its production cap, you can continue crafting by paying a fee of 1 eternal gold coin for each additional craft beyond the cap. The excess crafting count will be reset on the 1st of each official month.]

Since years, months, and days vary across planets in the universe, the Heavenly Path System established the concepts of an official year, official month, and official day. An official year is a unified time period equivalent to 500 Earth days. Each official year consists of ten months, and each official month has twenty days. Therefore, an official day is equivalent to 2.5 Earth days (60 hours), making an official month equivalent to 50 Earth days. This official time system isn’t commonly used before entering the Tower of Eternity, but it’s frequently encountered once inside.

Upon reading the new prompt, Chen Mo was overjoyed. I can even pay extra to exceed the crafting limit?

Although paying to exceed the limit wouldn’t generate as much profit as unlimited production, the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine was worth over a billion. Even after deducting material costs, the profit per bottle should be around a billion. In other words, crafting a few more by paying the extra cost would still be significantly profitable.

Plus, if any of my family members get sick and can’t find affordable Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine, I can keep making it myself. This feature is fantastic! he thought. What’s even more important is that the excess crafting allowance will be refreshed every official month. This way, every fifty Earth days, I can continue to craft them cheaply. This could be a lucrative source of income!

After crafting the Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine, Chen Mo didn’t immediately give it to his grandpa. He planned to wait until the guests had left and find an opportunity to administer it.

Everyone stayed at the hospital until the sky darkened around six or seven in the evening, then they began to leave one after another.

"Mo, you should go home and get some rest too," Grandma said. "Your college entrance exams are the day after tomorrow; don’t let this distract you."

After all, it was a major event in his life. Grandma naturally hoped Chen Mo would focus all his attention on preparing for the exams.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Okay, but before I go, I have something for you all."

At this, Chen Mo took out two Age-Preserving Holy Fruits and two Resurrection Crosses from his bag and handed them to Sister Yiyi and Grandma.

"What are these?"

Both of them immediately inspected the items in Chen Mo’s hand.

They had no idea what they were looking at, but a single glance left them astounded!

"Oh my god, an Age-Preserving Holy Fruit! And a Resurrection Cross!?"

Chen Mo didn’t know much about the Age-Preserving Holy Fruit, but Sister Yiyi and Grandma, being women, had learned about such things when they were younger.

They were very clear about the value of the Age-Preserving Holy Fruit.

And everyone knew how incredibly valuable the Resurrection Cross was.

The value of these four items alone was already astronomical.

Both of them were naturally stunned.

"I obtained these in an exam instance," Chen Mo explained. "These two Resurrection Crosses are for you—one each. The Age-Preserving Holy Fruits are also for you, Grandma, and you, Sister Yiyi—one each. I also prepared an Age-Preserving Holy Fruit and a Resurrection Cross for Grandpa. I’ll give them to him when he wakes up."

Originally, Chen Mo had harvested four Life-Lengthening Fruits from this trip. He could have given one each to Sister Yiyi, Grandpa, and Grandma. However, out of curiosity, he’d combined three of them, leaving only one normal fruit to give away.

So he planned to give it to Grandpa first. After all, Grandpa’s grave illness would surely have taken a toll on his remaining lifespan.

"These things are extremely valuable! You should sell them quickly. We don’t need them at all," Grandma immediately refused.

"Grandma, don’t worry about me. I’ve already sold the extras. These remaining ones are specifically for you, so please eat them soon," Chen Mo said, taking out a handful of eternal gold coins from the Heavenly Path System as proof.

Seeing the handful of eternal gold coins in Chen Mo’s hand, Sister Yiyi and Grandma finally believed him.

However, looking at the Age-Preserving Holy Fruits in their hands, they couldn’t bring themselves to eat them.

A single bite of this fruit was potentially worth several hundred million.

Having never experienced such extravagance, the thought of consuming something so valuable weighed heavily on them.

"Eat them without worry," Chen Mo said with a smile, gently taking their hands. "From now on, we won’t have to live in poverty anymore."

Hearing Chen Mo’s words, the two looked at each other and then consumed the Age-Preserving Holy Fruits.

As the fruits dissolved in their mouths, they immediately received The Heavenly Path’s Hint.

After consuming an Age-Preserving Holy Fruit, one could choose the age to which their appearance would be restored.

Grandma chose to restore herself to thirty years old, while Liu Yiyi chose twenty.

Soon, their appearances began to change.

Grandma’s transformation was especially dramatic; her face instantly regained its youth, restoring her to the beautiful woman she had been in her prime.

Liu Yiyi, on the other hand, now radiated an even more vibrant, youthful aura.

"Well? How do I look?" they asked, looking at each other.

Liu Yiyi then laughed and said, "Mom, you look exactly like you did in your wedding photos!"

Qiu Yuehong immediately hurried to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

What woman doesn’t appreciate beauty, regardless of her age?

Previously, she hadn’t had the means for such things, but now that she did, Qiu Yuehong was overjoyed.

Looking at her youthful reflection in the mirror, she happily touched her face, finding it hard to believe.

She soon returned to the hospital bed and looked at Liu Yuanzong, who was still unconscious.

"I wonder when this old fellow will wake up. I really want to see his reaction," Qiu Yuehong said lovingly, smiling at the unconscious Liu Yuanzong.

"Dad will definitely be stunned when he sees you," Liu Yiyi giggled. "You don’t just look younger; your skin seems even better than in the photos!"

Soon, Liu Yiyi also went to check herself in the mirror. She came out with her spirits visibly lifted as well.

Seeing Sister Yiyi and Grandma so happy, Chen Mo felt that the two fruits had been well worth it.

"By the way," Chen Mo said, "I contacted a Pharmacist earlier. He said if I give him the formula, he’ll help craft a few bottles of Sacred Spirit Medicine for free. This way, we can awaken Grandpa sooner. Maybe his lifespan won’t even decrease because of this illness. I’ll go find him first."

Chen Mo made an excuse, planning to step out for a bit and then return to give his grandpa the medicine.
