The Way of Spiritual Journey

Chapter 40, High-Grade Jade Soap

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Lang put in a lot of effort over the past three days, turning all the raw materials he bought into soap, and high-end soap at that.

In his previous life, Li Lang saw the male protagonists in those time-travel novels using soap to amass wealth, so he specifically searched for the complete soap-making process on Baidu, even researching high-end soaps in detail. He never expected to actually use one now.

"Phew, what a twist of fate! I never thought I, Li Lang, would actually have a day when I could make money with soap!" Li Lang let out a long breath, stretched, and was filled with emotion.

"Brother Lang, can this soap really make a lot of money?" Wolong had been exhausted from following Li Lang these past few days, and looking at the piles of finished soaps in the room, his eyes were full of anticipation.

"Yes, this thing is quite amazing. The process isn't complicated, but with just the three of us, we can't make many even if we work ourselves to death," Fengchu chimed in, speaking the truth.

"Don't underestimate this soap. It's something passed down from ancient books, a crystallization of human wisdom over thousands of years. Making money with it is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut; the money will flow in like water." Hearing their words, Li Lang smiled.

He has plenty of ways to make money; the soap is just a quick cash grab, and he doesn't plan to use it for a lifetime, so he doesn't really care about it.

"Tofu? What's that?" Wolong's eyes gleamed with curiosity. He knew about Niu Dao, but he had never even heard of tofu.

"Uh." Li Lang was taken aback. Did this world not even have tofu yet?

"Tofu means buttocks." Li Lang clearly didn't think before he said this; he just blurted it out.

"Ah!" Both the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick were startled, their buttock muscles suddenly contracted, and they looked at Li Lang with disbelief on their faces.

"Hehe." Li Lang's laugh at this moment became a little unkind.

"Don't be afraid. Follow me, and sooner or later I'll make sure you can buy a house and get married." Li Lang was sincere in his words, after all, these two were the first living people he had seen since he transmigrated, it was fate.

More importantly, these two men were of good character, and Li Lang had long regarded them as friends, or even brothers.

"Hehehehe, what are you saying..." Upon hearing this, the faces of the two, Zhuge Liang and Feng Chu, both turned red, but a glint of light flashed in their eyes, and their anticipation was undisguised.

"Alright. Remember, you now know the soap-making process, but you must not reveal a single word to anyone, including Shi Butong and Zhu Huaiyu. This is the foundation of our livelihood." Seeing their expressions, Li Lang felt gratified, but he had to get to the point.

Li Lang could treat these two as brothers, but Shi and Zhu were not, so he had to be wary of them.

"Yes, yes." The Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick nodded solemnly. They were kind by nature, but not stupid. They could understand the meaning behind Li Lang's words.

"Alright, three days have passed, there should be some activity outside. Everyone, perk up and get ready to receive guests." Li Lang waved his hand, his eyes gleaming; it was time to make a big splash.

"Brother Lang, come out quickly! It's chaos, complete chaos!" At this moment, a series of urgent and excited shouts came from outside.

When Li Lang and the others came out, they saw Shi Butong and Ma Zi rushing into the courtyard in a flurry of activity.

"Brother Lang, you're amazing!" Shi Butong grabbed Li Lang's hand, his expression so excited, like a long-lost son seeing his father. "It's all messed up, everything's a mess."

"Hehe, don't get excited, tell me slowly." Seeing Shi Butong like this, Li Lang's eyes lit up, and he guessed that the matter was probably settled.

"Brother Lang, I'm here. Haha, it's done, we're going to make a fortune!" At this moment, Zhu Huaiyu rushed into the courtyard, his fat body shaking and jiggling, which was truly terrifying.

"Tell me, what happened?" Once everyone was seated in the living room, Li Lang began asking questions.

"Brother Lang, in just three days, the soap has become a sensation among the wealthy ladies of Dadu. It's truly amazing; those who have used it are obsessed with it, and those who haven't are asking about it everywhere." Shi Butong was drinking tea when he saw Li Lang ask him a question, so he quickly put down his teacup and spoke first.

"Yes, even the nobles in the palace were alarmed and sent people to inquire about my home," Zhu Huaiyu chimed in.

"Good. Your publicity is quite good. It's time to show us something real." Hearing their answers, Li Lang nodded with satisfaction. Then he gave Wolong a look, and the latter understood, turning and walking out.

A moment later, Wolong returned carrying a tray of soap.

"What's this?" Shi Butong and Zhu Huaiyu looked at the things on the plate on the table, somewhat puzzled.

"This is an upgraded version of soap," Li Lang said.

"Oh, so it's just better soap," Li Lang added, seeing that the two still had doubts.

"Ah, there's something even better?" Upon hearing this, Shi and Zhu's eyes lit up instantly.

"Of course. The previous ones were just practical ones, but what you see now are the premium ones. From now on, everyone who can use this jade soap will be a symbol of status." Li Lang nodded, picked up his teacup and took a small sip. He seemed nonchalant, but he was actually very confident.

"I see." Shi and Zhu picked up the jade box from the plate, its exquisite craftsmanship astonishing.

Upon opening the jade box, a delicate fragrance wafted in, instantly refreshing the mind and spirit. "It truly is quite different."

"Alright, let's talk about the cooperation now." Seeing the two of them looking so excited, Li Lang chuckled inwardly and brought up the main topic.

"What's there to talk about? I'm determined to be the partner." Shi Butong got straight to the point, eagerly stating his position, showing his determination to secure the partnership.

"Hmph! You've made up your mind. Did I agree to it?" Seeing that Shi Butong had beaten him to it again, Zhu Huaiyu was so angry that he kept snorting. "Brother Lang, if you cooperate with me, I will definitely not let you down."

Zhu Huaiyu also started calling him "Brother Lang," because the lure of profits from soap forced him to adjust his mindset.

"You fatso, you want to challenge me, huh?" Before Li Lang could answer, Shi Butong got impatient, stood up abruptly, rolled up his sleeves, and showed a ferocious expression. He was determined to fight.

You know, back at Qifeng Tower, the two of them were really arguing, but neither of them rolled up their sleeves or got physical. It seems that this struggle for interests can really make people impulsive.

"Yes, brother, we can't spoil him." Not only Shi Butong, but even Ma Zi, who was usually inconspicuous, got excited and spoke up in support.

Ma Zi stood up, his face resolute, but he secretly gripped the back of the chair, giving the impression that he was about to throw the chair at someone at the slightest disagreement.

"You, you guys, what do you want? I'm not someone to be trifled with!" Zhu Huaiyu felt a surge of panic upon seeing this. 'Sigh, it's really inconvenient to do anything without my attendants by my side.'
