C91 Vast Wealth
A Divine level treasure was simply seizing the fortune of the world. The injuries of the water clone were so deep that the bones could be seen. It had only taken a few days to completely recover.
Later on, when the water clone found out about him betraying the sect, he secretly made up his mind to capture him and bring him back to the sect.
Letting him undergo the most severe trial in front of all the Clear Cloud Sword Sect disciples was not an easy task, and his four disciples had to be recaptured as well. He was very clear in his heart that if he did not remove the roots, there would be endless trouble in the future.
The moment the water clone had fully recovered, the pain in Lu Qingfeng's heart, who was far away in Carefree Town, suddenly disappeared. It was as if it had never happened.
He slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath, "Looks like my first body has finally escaped danger." His heart that was still hanging in the air finally relaxed.
After arriving at the courtyard, he headed straight for the room on the west side of the main building. He was familiar with everything. He pushed open the door, opened the restrictions, and entered the underground pill refining room.
He sat cross-legged on the prayer mat and took out the cooking cauldron and the white jade lotus throne. He activated the first layer of the formation on the white jade lotus throne.
At this time, Lu Qingfeng carefully memorized the recipe for the Grade Five Barrier Breaking Pill and took out a set of the spiritual herbs required for the Grade Five Barrier Breaking Pill.
At the same time, the second layer of the formation that had activated the white jade lotus stage had a much higher temperature than the first layer. At the same time, the second layer of the formation that had activated the white jade lotus platform had a much higher temperature than the first layer of the formation. The second spiritual herb required a higher temperature to melt, so the first spiritual herb was placed in the center of the pill furnace. The twelve spiritual herbs were placed in the corresponding position according to the recipe.
Compared to a Grade Four Barrier Breaking Pill, a Grade Five Barrier Breaking Pill was much more difficult to refine. Although there were a few herbs that were similar to a Grade Four Barrier Breaking Pill, the main ingredients for a Grade Five Barrier Breaking Pill were hard to melt.
As for the other herbs, some of them had already started to melt, and the main ingredients had just started to become a bit softer. First, they had to control the fusion of the two solutions, then they would fuse the third and the fourth.
Lu Qingfeng carefully controlled the eight types of spirit liquid balls and slowly approached the ninth main ingredient that was already beginning to melt. The ninth ingredient's melting speed was very slow, and it was slowly fusing one drop after another into the first eight types of spirit liquid.
After fusing the ninth type, the tenth main ingredient started to melt as well. This process was to test the apothecary's mastery over the fire.
If the temperature of the tenth ingredient was too high, before the first eight ingredients had completely fused with the ninth ingredient, the tenth ingredient would have already started to melt. If the tenth ingredient could only watch helplessly as it flowed underneath the pill cauldron and evaporated, the pill would have lost its refining significance.
According to the previous method, he continued to fuse the spirit liquid until all 12 types of spirit liquid were fused together, leaving only a fist-sized ball of spirit liquid inside the pill furnace. True essence continued to wrap around the spirit liquid, and at the same time, it stimulated the third layer of the array formation on the white jade lotus throne to accelerate the evaporation of the spirit liquid.
He then divided it into ten parts and rotated it continuously in the pill cauldron. This way, the pill would be evenly heated and become more round.
At this time, the true essence that was being transferred into each of the ten pills was off the mark. With a "peng peng peng" sound, he hurriedly calmed his mind and calmed down. When he stabilized his mind, there were only two pills left in the pill cauldron.
He had to first remove the third layer of the formation array from the White Jade Lotus Formation and lower the temperature of the pill furnace. Otherwise, the pill would explode if the temperature was too high. Before long, the faint aroma of a medicinal pill wafted out from the opening in the pill furnace.
Lu Qingfeng executed 48 pill forging manuals in a single breath. Lifting the lid of the cauldron, he placed the two round and smooth pills into the jade bottle.
The pill forging technique for a Grade Five Barrier Breaking Pill was double that of a Grade Four Barrier Breaking Pill. The requirement was completed in an instant, and this undoubtedly increased the difficulty by a lot. When Lu Qingfeng executed the forty-eight techniques, he was also flustered.
Spirit grass was three more than a fourth grade Barrier Breaking Pill, and it was also much more difficult to control true essence. Even after seven or eight consecutive batches, there were still no improvements, and the best was a 30% success rate.
After the twentieth furnace, the success rate would be maintained at 40%. After 50 batches, the success rate would be 50% and after 100 batches, the success rate would be 60%. After 300 batches, the success rate had stabilized at 70%. Between 900 batches and 1000 batches, there were still a few batches with 80% success rate.
No matter what, in the end, it was fixed at 70% success rate. This was also the minimum requirement that Lu Qingfeng had set for him, as it was a prerequisite for him to become an outstanding alchemist.
After taking a look at his harvest this time, he saw that there were a total of 6,618 finished products. Lu Qingfeng was prepared to sell 5000 pills to the Treasure Pavilion this time.
According to past habits, once he exited the pill lab, he took a bath and changed into a clean robe and tight suit. When he arrived at the Treasure Pavilion on the Divine Continent, Shangguan Zitong saw Lu Qingfeng as if she was her younger sister.
Sitting on the sofa in the reception room, Shangguan Zitong sat opposite Lu Qingfeng. She was no longer sitting upright like she used to be, with her elbows on her knees and her cheeks in her hands. She stared unblinkingly at Lu Qingfeng, showing the naive side of a girl.
Lu Qingfeng stretched out his hand and took out five hundred jade bottles, placing them on the tea table in front of him. He looked at Shangguan Zitong and said, "Zitong, here are five thousand Grade 5 Barrier Breaking Pills. Call Uncle Zheng here to examine them."
Shangguan Zitong's eyes narrowed into slits as he looked at the five hundred jade bottles in front of him. Looking at Lu Qingfeng, he said sweetly, "Got it, Big Bro. Wait for a while. Uncle Zheng will be here soon."
As expected, as soon as Shangguan Zitong finished speaking, Uncle Zheng pushed the door open and entered. He placed the glass in front of him for a long time before taking out the magnifying glass. He placed it down and said to Shangguan Tiantong, "Miss, these are all high-grade Fifth Order Barrier Breaking Pills."
Finally, Uncle Zheng priced the level five Barrier Breaking Pill at thirty thousand crystals per pellet. Five thousand pellets was one hundred fifty million crystals. After leaving the Treasure Pavilion on the Divine Continent, Lu Qingfeng didn't return to the Eastern Pill Hall. Instead, he went straight to Situ Xiaoyang's manor.
After seeing Situ Xiaoyang and the others, Lu Qingfeng knew that it had taken him half a year to refine the pills. In this half year, because of Lu Qingfeng's 30 million crystals, Situ Xiaoyang's adventure team had already expanded to 180 people. This was also because of Situ Xiaoyang's strict examination; otherwise, the number of people would have far exceeded this number.
This time, Lu Qingfeng had given Situ Xiaoyang 50 million crystals. The previous two times he had paid Situ Xiaoyang 80 million crystals, it was enough for these 180 people to train for 30 to 40 years.
The 150 million crystals he had this time was given to Situ Xiaoyang for 50 million. He spent 40 million to purchase herbs for the sixth-grade Barrier Breaking Pill in the Treasure Pavilion. The remaining 60 million was all given to the God Crystal Universe Palace.
He returned to the Eastern Pill Medicine Shop and continued to concoct a Grade Six Barrier Breaking Pill. This time, he used seven months, and it was evident that the difficulty of concocting the pill had increased by a lot.
After that, he bought one thousand pieces of the seventh grade Barrier Breaking Pill's spiritual herbs. After spending one hundred million crystals, he put all remaining two hundred and twenty million crystals into the God Crystal Universe Palace. Now in the God Crystal Universe Hall, including the initial twenty million crystals, there were three hundred million crystals.
The Grade 7 Barrier Breaking Pill took one year. When Lu Qingfeng came out of the pill cultivating room, his whole body was emitting strong waves of true energy. He had been at the peak of the Immortal Truth Realm for three years now, and the true energy within his body was becoming denser and denser.
After the analysis of the two seniors, they all agreed that it was because of the Tyrant Body Technique. In other words, every type of strength of the Tyrant Body Technique corresponded to a cultivator's stage, and even though Lu Qingfeng's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Immortal True Realm, the strength of the Tyrant Body Technique was still stuck at the Mysterious True Realm, so it was obvious that there was a mismatch between them.
Understanding the reason, Lu Qingfeng stopped thinking about it. Regardless of whether it was the cultivation or the Tyrant Body Technique, this kind of improvement was beneficial to him.
The final price that Uncle Zheng set was one hundred and fifty thousand crystals. He bought a total of six hundred million crystals and placed them all in the God Crystal Universe Hall. This way, the number of crystals in the Heaven and Earth Palace would be 900 million.
Even if it was the Greencloud Sword Sect, they would not have such a large reserve of crystals. Before they left, Shangguan Zitong told Lu Qingfeng that the matter of Carefree Town had been settled, and the next step would be to go to the Southern Rong Capital. Lu Qingfeng had told her that if she had the time, she would definitely visit the Southern Champion Capital.
After leaving Shangguan Zitong's place, Lu Qingfeng decided to visit Situ Xiaoyang. Many of the 180 people had already reached the peak of Mysterious Reality Stage, and they were in desperate need of a Grade 5 Barrier Breaking Pill to break through to the Immortal Truth Realm. Therefore, Lu Qingfeng decided to leave a Grade 5 Barrier Breaking Pill for each of them. After he handed 185 Grade 5 Barrier Breaking Pills to Situ Xiaoyang, he immediately called for everyone to gather.
Lu Qingfeng and Situ Xiaoyang stood at the front of the line. Liu Qiang, Xia Meng, and Kong Xuan stood at the front of the three squads, and Situ Xiaoyang said, "Brothers, let me introduce our true boss to everyone. He is the one beside me, Brother Lu Qingfeng, Brother Lu. All of your food and drinks, including mine, have been provided by Brother Lu. Please express your gratitude to Brother Lu in your own way. "
As soon as Situ Xiaoyang finished speaking, everyone stood at attention and performed a standard military salute towards Lu Qingfeng. Their movements were uniform and consistent. Obviously, they had gone through a long and systematic training. After exiting the manor, everyone sent Lu Qingfeng out of the manor. Only when his figure could no longer be seen did they return to the manor.
