Chapter 530: How Hard It Is to Spend Money

Xue Fanxin went to the estate’s accountant and asked how much money they had.
She was shocked to hear the total sum. The Lord’s Estate was loaded.
“How much did you just say?” Thinking that she had heard wrongly, she asked again to clarify.
“There are a total of 5.373 billion spirit coins in the estate,” the accountant told Xue Fanxin the exact amount after rechecking.
“5.373 billion spirit coins… Ah Jiu is really rich. Help me calculate how much those spirit herbs cost.”
There was really too much money. It was a little difficult to spend it all at once.
The accountant took out list after list of goods, his fingers moving nimbly on the abacus. Due to a large number of items, he took some time to calculate. “Your Highness, the payment for your spirit herbs is a total of 1.98 billion spirit coins, including the money that’s being transported.”
“After paying for those spirit herbs, won’t there be about four billion spirit coins left?”
“Yes.”
“Then help me calculate how many spirit coins it will take to dismiss everyone in the Lord’s Estate. Give me ten times the severance pay.”
The accountant was given a fright. “Your Highness, you want to dismiss the people in the estate? Why… why?”
Although there were not many people in the Ninth Lord’s Estate, a lot of them would definitely be unwilling to leave this place, especially him, the accountant. If he lost this job, where would he find a better one in the future?
“We’ll talk about it in the future. Calculate it first. There’s no need to be so panicked. Even if I have to dismiss everyone, I’ll give severance pay so that you can live without worry after you leave.”
Anyway, the Lord’s Estate had a lot of money, so there was no harm in giving more severance money.
“Yes, then I’ll count it.” The accountant did not dare to ask further and calculated with a worried heart, using ten times the severance pay as requested by Xue Fanxin. Possibly because he was in a bad mood, the speed at which he calculated was much slower than before, taking him a long time. “Your Highness, it will cost a total of 30 million spirit coins.”
“Only 30 million!”
“30 million spirit coins is a large sum to ordinary people, even if everyone has more than 100,000 spirit coins. Some of the better families only have a few hundred thousand spirit coins. If the people in the estate obtain this severance pay, it will be enough to lead a very good life.”
“Oh, I see. I’ll make a huge purchase in the next few days. The bill will be sent to the estate. You can get the storeroom to pay.”
“Yes.” The accountant really wanted to ask something, but he did not dare to.
It was impossible for the consort to mention the severance package for no reason. It seemed like something big was about to happen.
After Xue Fanxin found out how much money the Lord’s Estate had, she was worried about how to spend it.
The money here could not be used in the Mystic World, so she could only spend it here. As long as she spent it on physical things, it would be good.
“Woman, you’re finally back. When do you plan to turn that Deputy Master of the Blue Sea Villa into a puppet?” Little Lei ran up to Xue Fanxin, looking impatient.
“The Deputy Master of the Blue Sea Villa?” Xue Fanxin had almost forgotten about him. After being reminded by Little Lei, she was especially angry.
She had not forgotten that the man had cast the Puppet Gu on her grandfather.
“That’s right, that’s right! It’s that Deputy Master called Zhu Hai. You’ve been busy these few days and didn’t have time to care about him. Now that you’re free, you have to turn him into a puppet. I heard that there’s a pill that can turn people into puppets. Quickly get the Flame Furnace out and put it to work.”
“Don’t be anxious. I just returned. I’ll do this later. The butler said that a portion of the spirit herbs had been sent over. Where is it?”
“In the room next door. It’s filled to the brim. Why do you want so many spirit herbs?”
“To refine pills!”
“Is it to refine the Puppet Pill?”
“I’ll refine that kind of puppet pill.” Xue Fanxin ignored Little Lei and walked to the next room. She stored all the spirit herbs in her Reverse Spirit Heaven Wheel Space. Then, she returned to her room and entered the space.
With so many spirit herbs, she should be able to refine many spirit pills, right?
“Little Furnace, you’re going to get busy next. We have many pills to refine, so let’s begin.”
The Nine Revolutions Burning Yang Furnace had been placed in Xue Fanxin’s space. She did not let it go out casually.
This furnace could fly and change its size. If it was placed outside, it would definitely cause trouble, so it was safer to hide it.
The Nine Revolutions Burning Yang Furnace was bored, but it had no choice. It could not leave without its master’s permission. Now that there were pills to refine and its master was accompanying it, it was naturally excited. It immediately turned into a large pill cultivating furnace and prepared to work.
Xue Fanxin refined pills beside the huge rock while reading the Myriad Spirit Record. She refined pills according to the pill formulas on it and threw handfuls of spirit herbs into the Nine Revolutions Burning Yang Furnace.
Actually, she was not refining pills at all. She only needed to follow the pill formula and throw the spirit herbs into the furnace. The other tasks would be completed by the Nine Revolutions Burning Yang Furnace.
Could she be the most relaxed alchemist in history?
No matter what spirit herbs Xue Fanxin threw into the pill furnace, as long as they were correct, the Nine Revolutions Burning Yang Furnace could refine the corresponding pill. Not only was the refinement speed fast, but the yield was also very high. Every time, it could produce more than ten pills.
In fifteen minutes, she had refined ten pills. Thirty minutes meant twenty, and an hour meant forty… The speed was terrifying.
As there were too many pills, Xue Fanxin did not have enough bottles to store them. She decided to use a few larger pots and pans. Every basin was filled with spirit pills.
In just a day, all the spirit herbs had been refined into spirit pills by Xue Fanxin or to be precise, by the Nine Revolutions Burning Yang Furnace.
The next day, Xue Fanxin called everyone over and placed the pills she had refined on plates in front of everyone.
Apart from Ye Jiushang and Little Lei, everyone was stunned. All of them looked at the spirit pills in disbelief, wondering if they were dreaming.
Other people treasured their pills because they only had a handful, and every one of them was priceless. However, their consort actually used a basin to store her spirit pills. Every basin was filled to the brim.
This was simply too terrifying.
