Immortal Path Space

Chapter 228: Alchemy

Many years ago, he had planted a large number of spirit fruit trees in his Space. Now, these first and second-tier spirit fruit trees had all grown, providing him with a steady supply of spirit fruit.

Back in Azure Void City, he could sell some of them in the shops below, and the rest, apart from what he consumed himself, he turned into Spirit Wine.

The first-tier Spirit Wine could still be sold to some extent. Although the second-tier Spirit Wine was highly sought after, it was too risky to sell it openly. Selling a few pounds of Spirit Wine would attract too much attention. The last time he sold fifty pounds of second-tier Spirit Wine, he had to be extremely cautious, even going undercover. To sell the thousands of pounds of Spirit Wine he had would take ages.

However, Spirit Wine stored in the Space would not spoil, and it would even improve with time. The first-tier Spirit Wine he had stored the earliest had been aging for a thousand years. Its quality was no worse than that of second-tier Spirit Wine, and its taste far surpassed ordinary second-tier Spirit Wine.

Currently, he had thousands of pounds of second-tier Spirit Wine made from white crystal fruit. He mainly consumed this type of wine in his daily life. Regular consumption of this Spirit Wine would refine his Spiritual Power.

The Resplendent Visage Fruit branches he had planted in Space had grown into small trees, six to seven feet tall. Dozens of Resplendent Visage Fruits hung from them, with some already ripe.

He had only planted one Resplendent Visage Fruit tree so far, but when he had more space, he would plant several more. This item was even more in demand than pills used for cultivation.

The three acres of newly planted Green Spirit Peaches were all bearing fruit now. Some were as big as chicken eggs, while others were only the size of fingertips. They were already capable of enhancing the strength of Qi Cultivation Cultivators.

The next time he returned, he could help his subordinates improve their strength. With a group of Foundation Building stage subordinates, he would be able to dominate the Foundation Building stage.

When Wang Hong emerged from the Space, he picked three ripe Resplendent Visage Fruits. He planned to refine them into Resplendent Visage Elixirs, which he could occasionally sell in this world.

After exiting the Space, Wang Hong entered the Alchemy room with the Resplendent Visage Fruits. He took out a palm-sized round cauldron from his Storage Bag.

This was the Spiritual Weapon-grade Alchemy Furnace he had obtained from Zhu Yan. With this Alchemy Furnace, his success rate in Alchemy had increased by half.

Currently, he was refining Nourishing Essence Pills, using thirty portions of materials per batch, resulting in around one hundred and sixty to seventy pills per batch. His batch Alchemy Pill Success Rate had already reached over fifty percent.

Since Zhu Yan's disappearance, it had raised high concern on the Qingxu Sect's Boundary City side. They had dispatched several teams to search for him. After finding no clues, they could only suspect that he had fallen victim to Demonic Beasts outside the city and placed the blame on them.

Wang Hong slowly infused Spiritual Power into the Alchemy Furnace. As Spiritual Power entered, the Alchemy Furnace rapidly expanded to two feet in size. Afterward, he stopped the infusion of Spiritual Power and added spirit charcoal underneath the Alchemy Furnace.

Spiritual Weapon-grade Alchemy Furnaces could change in size at will, making them much more convenient to operate than Magical Weapon Alchemy Furnaces. With a two-foot-sized furnace, three portions of materials were sufficient.

He added the three portions of materials into the Alchemy Furnace in sequence.

After more than an hour, he opened the furnace lid to find fourteen Resplendent Visage Elixirs inside. Since he had refined this Pill fewer times, the Pill Success Rate was slightly lower.

After refining the Resplendent Visage Elixirs, Wang Hong and Little Peng sat together in the living room, each with a bowl of thick soup that Wang Hong had prepared, along with some dried meat.

At this moment, a Transmission Talisman arrived, bearing Zhang Chunfeng's voice.

After checking, Wang Hong sent a reply using another Transmission Talisman.

Shortly after, Zhang Chunfeng and Kaiyang Peak's Elder Brother arrived together.

"Come, come, please have a seat!"

Wang Hong invited Zhang Chunfeng and Elder Brother to take a seat. He then took out a ceramic jar and poured each of them a bowl of thick soup, along with two pieces of dried meat.

The two men held their bowls and brought the soup to their lips, taking a sip.

"Mmm! Junior Brother Wang's culinary skills are getting better and better. The taste of this soup is definitely the best I've ever had," praised Elder Brother, giving a thumbs-up, with Zhang Chunfeng agreeing beside him.

"This batch of soup contains the essence of a second-tier Demonic Beast's flesh and blood, along with some rare Spiritual Herbs," Wang Hong explained.

"Senior Brother, our group will be able to return in two more months," Zhang Chunfeng said.

"Oh, that soon?" Wang Hong responded.

"Yes, we've been here for over four years," Zhang Chunfeng replied, taking a bite of the dried meat.

Elder Brother finished the remaining soup in his bowl in one go, licked his lips, and said somewhat wistfully, "It's a pity that we won't be able to taste the delicious food you make after we go back."

"Senior Brother, when did you become so roundabout in your speech? Don't worry, when you leave, I'll give each of you a jar of this soup."

Wang Hong understood Elder Brother's implied message and said generously while refilling their bowls from the jar.

"Zhang Junior Brother, come to me again before you leave. I'll need you to take some things for me."

Wang Hong told Zhang Chunfeng that he needed him to carry some Spiritual Herbs and other items back, which he could then pass on to Liu Changsheng.

"Sure, I'll definitely come by when the time comes," Zhang Chunfeng agreed.

After the two of them chatted with Wang Hong for a while, they left.

Once they were gone, Wang Hong resumed his alchemical work. He needed to refine a batch of pills in the next two months.

Wang Hong once again infused Spiritual Power into the round-shaped small alchemical furnace, causing it to expand to a size of ten feet before he started heating it.

He first added Concentrated Spirit Herbs into it, followed by other Spiritual Herbs.

After a series of incredibly skilled operations, a batch of pills was quickly completed.

Wang Hong opened the furnace lid, expecting around three hundred Condensing Qi Pills from the thirty portions of materials. However, he was surprised to find over two hundred and eighty pills. The Pill Success Rate had reached over ninety percent.

He separated these pills into upper, middle, and lower tiers.

Among the two hundred-plus pills, the middle-tier pills were the most abundant, making up more than half of the total, while the upper and lower-tier pills combined were only a small portion.

Wang Hong looked at this batch of pills, realizing that what he needed most right now were lower-tier pills because they were the main products he sold in his store. He couldn't afford to sell only middle-tier Condensing Qi Pills. Lower-tier pills had to remain the primary product for sale.

Especially the upper-tier Condensing Qi Pills were nearly impossible to come by for Qi Cultivation stage cultivators. They were usually considered the most precious treasures in most stores.

Next, Wang Hong refined another batch of Condensing Qi Pills. This time, he intentionally made some mistakes in the process, hoping to produce more lower-tier pills.

Soon, this batch of pills was successfully completed, but due to Wang Hong's deliberate mistakes, there weren't significantly more lower-tier pills compared to the previous batch. However, the Pill Success Rate had decreased considerably.

Wang Hong realized that this method might not be very effective and decided to continue refining carefully.

Two months passed quickly, and Wang Hong had prepared over seventy thousand first-tier pills, including upper, middle, and lower tiers.
