Brothers

After that night in the city, the name of the jade warriors was spreading. Everyone knew them and envied their power at such a young age.

"Wang Wei, we are known by the entire city now. Our profits in the battle arena won't be as much as before so I don't think we can keep buying cultivation resources or martial art techniques." Chen Li said as the four boys walked toward the battle arena.

"I don't really care about that anymore. I come here for the combat experience. Besides, I already have an idea on how to earn some more money." Wang Wei said.

"You have to tell me about that when we get back." Chen Li said.

The boys had no trouble with their opponents. After they all won their fights they returned back to jade island.

"So, what is your idea of earning more money?" Long Yue asked.

"Well I was looking through the book left behind by my family's first patriarch and I found a note which I had never seen before. On it was three different recipes for cultivation pills. They are the fire pill, the spirit pill, and the body enhancing pill. The fire pill will be only useful to fighters and soul experts with a fire-type soul form. The spirit pill is only for soul experts as it will help them in their cultivation, ad the body enhancing pill is for both. As its name implies it will strengthen the human body. It is said that these three pills were the most used pills in the first war with the demons." Wang Wei said.

"Wow, that is amazing. These pills will definitely help us a lot in our own cultivation as well." Lee Zheng said.

"Of course, but I want to sell them too so that the entire human race can reap the benefits of these pills." Wang Wei said. "First let's buy the ingredients and start producing the pills."

"Okay!" the other three said.

When everyone returned with the ingredients Wang Wei told all of them the recipes and they started making the pills. They used the school's furnace to make the pills. At first, they failed a lot and spent a lot of resources but the resources they used weren't that expensive so they could always buy more.

Like this, three months passed. In the morning they would produce the pills and in the afternoon they would train and cultivate. All four of them broke through. Chen Li, Long Yue, and Lee Zheng all broke through to level twenty-six and Wang Wei broke through to level twenty-seven. It had been around half a year since they enrolled in jade academy. Since that time Long Yue and Chen Li both turned fourteen. Today was the birthday of Wang Wei although he didn't really celebrate it.

The other three did prepare a meal for him as they waited in the house of his teacher, who naturally joined in. at the end of the night, the boys all sat around the table as teacher Shen Teng was away for a bit to attend to some business.

"I know I didn't celebrate it or ask you to do this for me but I am very happy that you are all my friends." Wang Wei said.

"It's nothing." Chen Li said.

"Yeah, we are also happy to be friends with you." Lee Zheng said.

"Yes." Long Yue said.

Wang Wei then stood up and walked into the kitchen. He came back with a teapot and four cups.

"Let's become sworn brothers tonight." He said.

The others agreed.

They each made a small cut on their fingers and let a drop of blood fall into the pot. They then stirred the tea and poured four cups.

"Cheers!" They all said as they drank the tea.

From today onwards they were all sworn brothers. Wang Wei was the first brother, being the strongest. Long Yue was the second brother, Lee Zheng was the third brother, and Chen Li was the fourth brother.

The next day they went into the city and headed straight for the busiest street. They set up a little stand and were ready to sell their pills.

Normally people would just ignore these kinds of stands but since they were the jade warriors people actually stopped and bought some pills. At first, the people were still a bit skeptical but after a week they absorbed the pills they bought and noticed the increase in strength and came right back to the jade warriors to buy more pills.

Their business started to prosper. They started renting a small store and they kept selling the pills only now they also started selling martial art techniques, which they created all by themselves. The martial art techniques weren't amazing but for the normal people to have a martial art technique which was created by the jade warriors was already big. They weren't famous on a continental level but the entire jade city knew of them and their power so the people wouldn't think twice of buying the martial arts. They mainly sold Jongh martial art scrolls since it was a martial arts form that was not very well known despite its power.

But the martial art technique they sold for the most amount of money was the overbearing fist. They would sell it for twenty gold coins. They sold all their pills for fifteen silver coins and the Jongh martial art scrolls were being sold for thirty silver coins.

Their store name was; The jade brothers. Their business did so well that they started expanding to different cities. After a month they build a business empire in the west of the continent. Their families were also growing in strength because of the various soul experts and fighter who went to join them.

Another six months passed and the school year ended. By this time Wang Wei was level twenty-nine and the other three were level twenty-eight. They all returned to their families to spend the break.
