Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Chapter 197: R&D



"The pill is in the last stage of development. Just a few more tests and we should be good to go." Sebastian spoke with an even tone, trying to give as much information as possible in a few sentences.

David nodded with a happy smile on his face. If everything went smoothly, he should be able to rake in at least one billion mid-grade spirit stones worth of revenue with this product.

He was extremely satisfied with Sebastian's work.

While David was joyous, Sebastian spoke once more, this time with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Manager, did you manage to find any other Grade three ingredients?"

David was dumbfounded for a moment. "What the hell are you talking about?" Then suddenly his eyes seemed to flash with a look of understanding.

"Yeah, I managed to get my hands on some good Grade three ingredients."

In order to refine higher-grade pills, you also needed higher-grade ingredients. And David wasn't lying when he said that he managed to find a couple of grade three ingredients.

After all, the inheritance of the Blood Moon Ancestor was filled with thousands of ingredients, and now that David had broken through and reached the Body Integration realm, the fourth floor of the Blood Moon Ancestor's inheritance had also unlocked, filled with grade four ingredients.

"Just tell me what ingredients you need and how many you need. No need to worry about anything else," David said confidently, his voice sounding even a little bit arrogant.

Hearing David's arrogant words, Sebastian looked at him a little skeptically, not understanding where he was getting all this confidence, after all high-level ingredients were rare in this world.

But still, he decided to trust David and listed all the ingredients that he needed.

"Seven Wonder Divine stone, a grade three naturally occurring stone with slightly shapeshifting properties."

"Pure Water Seven Pointed Dew..."

Sebastian continued to speak, and in a few breaths of time, he listed tens of ingredients that David had never heard before.

Even though he wasn't familiar with some of the ingredients, David remained unfazed. He had complete trust in the Blood Moon Ancestor's inheritance.

Although he was listening to Sebastian's words, his other thought or second mind was already searching for all the ingredients in the inheritance space.

Once Sebastian stopped speaking, David flicked his wrist and a storage ring appeared in his hand, needless to say it was filled with mystic ingredients to the brim.

"Here, take this. In this ring are all the ingredients that you mentioned." David profoundly smiled while handing him all the ingredients.

"This?" Sebastian looked at the ring with a shocked expression on his face; he was greatly shaken. He didn't doubt David's words, given his personality there was no need for David to lie to him about such things.

Filled with disbelief, he took a strand of his divine sense inside the ring and in the next moment, he immediately left without uttering a single word.

David looked at Sebastian's receding figure with a pleased expression on his face. For a moment, he felt as if he was one of the old monsters.

Time continued to flow like water and soon one month passed since David arrived in the Nightblade city.

In this past month, he had managed to calculate all the revenue that his business ventures were generating.

The numbers left his mind boggled. Without him realizing, he was raking in over 10 billion mid-grade spirit stones in revenue.

Most of it, or eighty percent to be precise, came from the sales of coffee cups, and the rest from movies that were being sold like hotcakes. Their popularity was no less than that of the coffee.

Both of the products gave stellar performance. For a moment, David had the urge to sell furniture or anything that was available in the bank's store, but he resisted the urge. Doing so was definitely possible, but that was just too much.

It was better to keep things simple and manageable.

In a split second, David made a decision to never sell more than ten products at a time.

Although it might look like he was busy, in reality, he was dealing with the customers. During all these years, the bank had definitely established a reputation and had become a trustable source to get money.

Although the bank's interest rate had made some people frown, that was it. In reality, the bank's situation was like credit cards back from Earth - there would be no problem.

"Can you repeat the terms and conditions again? I didn't understand," a middle-aged lady with ample assets asked with a puzzled look on her face.

She genuinely didn't seem to understand how the bank operated and which agreement she needed to sign.

"Luke, come and explain the terms and conditions to this lady," David called Luke, who was sitting quietly and meditating on the side.

All these years he had become more reserved and rarely acted arrogant.

Hearing David's shout, Luke opened his eyes and wanted to say that this wasn't part of his job, but these words got stuck in his mouth and never came out.

He just opened and closed his mouth several times before finally getting up and walking toward David and the customer who were standing in the center.

Luke didn't dare to act pretentiously like before and understood his own position very clearly. Holding a grudge against David was straight suicide.

From what he could tell, David might already be at the Nascent Soul realm or even the legendary Void Refining, while he himself was stuck at the Golden Core middle stages.

With such qualifications, he had the face to brag. Luke felt his face heating up whenever he thought about it.

David was satisfied with Luke's behavior and wouldn't mind investing in him in the future.

When David turned his gaze away, the space around started to flicker and a screen appeared in front of him.

[Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss.

Even if he died, the client will have to pay back somehow, therefore his soul was captured. You now have the following options, keep in mind that you can only choose one.

1 - Extract Client's Crystallion of Life (Seven wonders, Grade - Uncommon)

2 - Extract Lin's memories from his birth till his death.

3 - Any item that client owned in his lifetime.

4 - Do Nothing, let the compound interest do its thing and decide again when the Client dies in his next life.

Please note as capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana because of which you only have two hours left to make a choice.]

The recovery was in front of him once again. At this point, David had already gotten used to the options.

Today David was in a good mood and decided to ignore the first option. Let's choose items today first.

As soon as he chose the third option, a list of three items appeared in front of him.

[You can only choose one out of the three:

1 - Divine Enlightenment Stone - a stone made from the accumulation of atmospheric essence, using it there is a 40-60% chance of successfully entering enlightenment.

2 - Heartless Sword - a sword technique of demonic origin, to practice this technique you will have to kill your one true love with your own hands.

3 - Three Petal Yang Lotus - A grade 4 alchemy ingredient, mainly used in body refining medicines.]

"Damn!" David's eyes flashed with a strange light while reading through the description of all three items.

"It's good stuff." Without much thinking, he chose the first option and instantly the window disappeared.

[The item Divine Enlightenment Stone had been deposited to your inventory.]

The cold, monotonous voice of the bank was heard in David's head.

Just as he was about to check the item, he felt a strong aura moving toward the city, or to be specific, in his direction at high speed.

David immediately blinked and arrived outside the city, silently floating in mid-air, he looked towards the sky.

After space rippled several times more, and several figures which David was familiar with also arrived.

The lotus sisters of the Morgan family, Alchemist Theodore and his wife, and one wise-looking old man with a long beard.

This was probably the leader of the Truth Seeker Formation organization.

Sirius Black, a Grade four formation master.

While David was looking at the newcomers, they were also looking in his direction. Red Lotus wanted to say something, but she was stopped by her sister White Lotus, who looked at her face and shook her head.

Theodore and his wife walked closer to David with a smile on their face.

Seeing them walking closer, a forceful smile appeared on David's face. Ever since that day, the two of them started to treat him like a son-in-law, as if David had really married their daughter.

David wanted to say they thought too highly of their daughter if they thought he was going to marry her.
