My starting summon is a small skeleton

Jiangbei Cultivation Center.

When the project manager delivered the relevant experimental data and Jiang Beifeng discovered that the Governor's Mansion in Jiangnan was stockpiling a large amount of "Iron Armor Bull Milk"...

A truth unfolded before Jiang Beifeng and his team.

Clearly, the so-called secret and trump card of Lu Wu had now been grasped by them.

At this moment, Lin Huai issued the first order.

"Quick, sweep the market immediately, buy up all the 'Iron Armor Bull Milk' that's still available!"

As the head of the Jiangbei Cultivation Center, Lin Huai understood the value of the cultivation plan they had developed better than anyone.

For just 800 points, it could enhance a Black Iron or even ordinary quality White Bone Wild Boar to Bronze Level.

What did this mean?

It meant that the cultivation cost of the White Bone Wild Boar could be reduced by more than half.

It meant a massive business opportunity was right in front of them.

Once this news was announced, "White Bone Wild Boar Soup" would become the hottest cultivation plan, and White Bone Wild Boars would become the most sought-after Summoned Beasts, while "Iron Armor Bull Milk" as the core ingredient would become the bestselling commodity.

The Jiangnan Governor's Mansion had stockpiled "Iron Armor Bull Milk" clearly intending to seize this opportunity to make a fortune.

Since Jiangbei had discovered this, how could they possibly miss such a great opportunity to make money?

Under Lin Huai's instructions, Jiangbei joined the market sweeping immediately.

The Summoner's market is very sensitive.

Jiangbei's involvement caused the price of the "Iron Armor Bull Milk," which was not previously in high demand, to begin soaring, increasing by thirty percent in a short time.

However, Jiangbei did not care about the price increase. Even if the price doubled or tripled, they were willing to spend the money.

Because the production of "Iron Armor Bull Milk" was not high, it was easy to control with money, and as it was the core ingredient of "White Bone Wild Boar Soup," controlling the milk meant they could still make their money back regardless of the cost.

Once Jiangbei cleared the stock, Lu Wu knew about it immediately.

But he pretended not to know and continued to let Zhang Wentao announce that at eight o'clock tomorrow evening, he would reveal the core secret of the "White Bone Wild Boar Soup" cultivation plan.

He also mentioned that this core secret would have a profound impact on the cultivation of the kind of Summoned Beast known as the White Bone Wild Boar.

When Jiangnan made its announcement, the people in Jiangbei laughed.

"Seeing his confidently sworn appearance makes me want to laugh. This kid probably couldn't imagine that we've already seen his cards," one remarked.

Shi Ying was clearly the most amused.

When Lu Wuyi initially talked about having an optimized version, having a core secret, Shi Ying was somewhat panicked.

But soon after Jiangnan's announcement, his side got the optimized plan and found out about the so-called core secret.

With that, Shi Ying's hanging heart was also put at ease.

He even felt relaxed enough to start joking and taunting Lu Wu.

Jiang Beifeng, next to him, felt similar to Shi Ying, though he was even more carefree.

"I lost to Lu Wuyi once before; this time, I can finally see Lu Wu make a fool of himself!

I would really like to see what his expression will be then."

The people in Jiangbei were particularly wicked; although they already had the optimized version and the secret, they deliberately held off releasing it.

They were timing it.

Since Lu Wu announced through Jiangnan channels that he would make the announcement at eight the next evening, such things could not be rescheduled.

So they timed it perfectly.

It was to maximize Lu Wu's embarrassment and to monopolize the relevant resources.

They continued to hold off until two hours before Lu Wu was scheduled to disclose, releasing their optimized "White Bone Wild Boar Soup" at 6 p.m. the next day.

And they did so quietly.

The purpose was not to alert Lu Wu, to let Lu Wu go on stage and talk until he finished, and then they would reveal it and slap Lu Wu in the face.

However, their plan was not successful.

Because at eight o'clock, Jiangnan University updated a post.

They postponed the event, delaying it by five days.

This made the people in Jiangbei feel somewhat regretful.

"It seems they have realized that we have seen their cards."

Unable to see Lu Wu's embarrassed state, Jiang Beifeng was a bit disappointed, but he didn't dwell on it.

"You won't come out, right? Postponing it by five days, huh?

Alright, we'll speak first on our side; I'm curious to see what you can say after five days."

Jiangbei quickly took action, responding officially to this plagiarism incident for the first time.

The approach of Jiangbei was not like that of Jiangnan, which issued statements online, but instead, they directly contacted journalists, formally and officially responding to this matter.

And Shi Ying was pushed to the forefront to handle this situation.

This was how Shi Ying responded to the incident.

"Regarding the recent accusation from Lu Wu, the foster son of the Governor of Jiangnan and a recommended student of Jiangnan University, against our Jiangbei Cultivation Center for plagiarizing his cultivation scheme, I, on behalf of the Jiangbei Cultivation Center, formally respond.

First, please, colleagues, review some documents..."

Shi Ying started off by emphasizing Lu Wu's status as the foster son of the Governor of Jiangnan before presenting the so-called documentary evidence, which proved that a month before Lu Wu submitted his cultivation scheme, they had already received a similar cultivation scheme.

"As you can see, colleague Lu Wu submitted his scheme almost half a month late.

The similarity between both schemes is over ninety-five percent.

Of course, we cannot solely conclude from this that the Cultivation Master who submitted half a month earlier than student Lu Wu is free from suspicion of plagiarism.

After all, during that time, student Lu Wu was busy with the high school league and might not have had the time to upload his work.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Lu Wu is also the champion of the Jiangnan high school league.

In just one year, student Lu Wu evolved from an ordinary student to a talented individual excelling in both academics and martial arts, and he even managed to develop the most cutting-edge cultivation schemes for goblins, Little Skeleton, and White Bone Wild Boar, a feat of talent that can only be described as terrifying."

It must be said that Shi Ying's sarcastic manner does not fall short of Lu Wu's.

In fact, it's even more annoying.

Of course, he only dared to say so much and no more, swiftly steering the conversation back and dropping the final bombshell.

"However, in the end, we in Jiangbei confirmed that the author of the 'White Bone Wild Boar Soup' did not plagiarize Lu Wu.

Because just yesterday, that Cultivation Master optimized the 'White Bone Wild Boar Soup.'

After optimization, the 'White Bone Wild Boar Soup' now requires only 800 points to cultivate an ordinary quality 'White Bone Wild Boar' into a 'Bronze Quality'."

From here, Jiangbei's response completely turned into a product launch event.

Journalists' attention was gradually drawn to the cultivation scheme that claimed to turn "ordinary" into "Bronze" with just 800 points.

As soon as the press conference ended, various reports emerged.

The ordinary crowd continued to spectate, but those with Summoned Beasts being 'White Bone Wild Boar' focused their attention on the optimized 'White Bone Wild Boar Soup.'

For Jiangbei, it was time to reap the rewards.

In the office of the Jiangbei leader, Shi Ying excitedly reported to Lin Huai.

"In just one day, the optimized 'White Bone Wild Boar Soup' cultivation scheme sold over 1000 copies.

Each scheme costs 20 points, and just from this, we've earned over ten thousand points.

And that's just the small portion; in terms of materials related to the cultivation scheme, we sold 300 copies in one day, each for 800 points, netting a profit of 255 points per copy, earning over seventy thousand, totaling close to a hundred thousand points of revenue!"

As he spoke these data, Shi Ying felt the blood in his veins boiling.

He knew he was going to make a fortune.

This was only the first day, and the Cultivation Masters had not yet verified the authenticity of the scheme; once they did, these numbers were definitely going to skyrocket.

After all, the White Bone Wild Boar is a relatively common summoning beast, and now with such a cost-effective cultivation method, many cash-strapped Cultivation Masters would surely raise one.

Events indeed turned out as Shi Ying predicted.

By the second day, the cultivation scheme had sold over 3000 copies, and 1500 copies of the materials were sold.

On the third day, the total number of cultivation schemes sold reached 8000, and 4500 copies of materials were sold.

This meant that, in three days, the Jiangbei Cultivation Center had earned over a million points.

They even received military orders from the Jiangbei region; the military ordered 1500 copies in one go, and other provincial militaries were also reaching out to Jiangbei.

One after another, they all eagerly threw their money at Jiangbei.

Lin Huai could never have imagined that by simply bullying Lu Wu a bit, he could reap such benefits.

He was extremely delighted.

The only somewhat displeased person was probably Jiang Beifeng.

Lin Huai had initially promised to help him with that 50,000, but due to several military orders coming in, coupled with some unsettled payments and the recent substantial purchase of Iron Armor Bull herd at Jiangbei, funds were tight, and those 50,000 were not given to Jiang Beifeng.

Naturally, Jiang Beifeng was not pleased.

Fortunately, Lin Huai didn't completely refuse but only requested a postponement.

He even personally negotiated with the internal network, paid some interest, and got the repayment date extended to fifteen days later.

This made Jiang Beifeng willing to continue dealing with Lu Wu.

Yes, dealing with Lu Wu!

Even though Lu Wu had helped Jiangbei earn over a million points, they still needed to deal with him.

That person was not yet satisfied, and Jiang Beifeng hadn't played his move yet.

Now, as the five-day delay mentioned by Lu Wu was almost up, Jiang Beifeng was curious to see if Lu Wu dared to show up and what he would say next.

And Jiang Beifeng's anticipation was indeed well satisfied by Lu Wu.

The five days flashed by, and this time, Lu Wu did not delay any further but chose to start a live stream in his own cultivation room.

Lu Wu had waited five days.

He had endured for five days, and it was time for Jiangbei to spit out what they had swallowed, blood and all.

Dizzy, I forced myself to finish coding this chapter,
