Immortal Path Space

Chapter 72

The newly acquired five acres of land were divided by Wang Hong, with three acres dedicated to experimenting with Spirit Bee cultivation. The remaining two acres were planted with various Tier-One spirit fruits for future use in brewing Spirit Wine.

As of now, counting the original ones, he had planted a total of five acres of Tier-One spirit fruits and two acres of Tier-Two spirit fruits.

The five acres of Tier-One spirit fruits should be sufficient for brewing spirit fruit wine. Currently, his production of spirit fruit wine was around 3,000 kilograms per year. However, his Spirit Wine Pavilion only sold about 100 kilograms per month, leaving the surplus spirit fruit wine stored in the Space.

His Tier-Two spirit fruits were about to mature in a few days. After consuming a dozen White Crystal Fruits last time, his Spiritual Energy had become much purer, significantly enhancing his strength.

Tier-Two spirit fruits were indeed precious. Even Foundation Building cultivators could benefit from consuming them, as they could enhance cultivation levels. Due to their slow growth and rarity, the price of a single Tier-Two spirit fruit could fetch at least thousands of Spirit Stones.

Special-effect fruits like White Crystal Fruits might cost hundreds of Spirit Stones for just one.

The Tier-Two Spirit Wine brewed from Tier-Two spirit fruits could rapidly restore mana for Foundation Building cultivators, making it highly sought after.

At this moment, Wang Hong was contemplating another matter. His recent trip to Azure Void City made him realize that their Alchemy production couldn't keep up.

Operating his own Elixir Pavilion, supplying thirteen other shops, the monthly demand for elixirs was immense. The quantity of elixirs that he and Zhang Chunfeng could refine was already quite strained, considering they also needed time for cultivation and other responsibilities.

It was impossible to spend all their time and energy on Alchemy just to earn Spirit Stones; that would be detrimental to their future.

Ever since obtaining the Space, it instilled in him a profound confidence. He believed that with diligence and careful consideration, he would surely have a bright future. Only by standing at a higher vantage point could one witness the most beautiful scenery.

Therefore, he always liked to base his actions on long-term considerations. Anything detrimental to long-term development or even self-destructive actions were resolutely avoided.

To impersonate a major power, he had to demonstrate formidable strength and couldn't afford to run out of supplies casually; otherwise, it might reveal weaknesses.

Currently, to increase production, he considered waiting for the Ma Brothers to become Alchemists. Another approach was to improve the pill formation rate of himself and Zhang Chunfeng. However, these would take time, and it was a bit of a temporary solution. As the number of shops he supplied increased in the future, elixirs would still be insufficient.

Recruiting Alchemists wasn't an easy task either; generally, Alchemists were already committed to other sects.

At this point, he thought of a question: why did Alchemy have to be done one batch at a time? Couldn't multiple batches be produced simultaneously? If this were possible, it could solve the current dilemma.

With this in mind, he entered the Alchemy room, set up the pill furnace, lit the spirit charcoal, and sequentially added two Condensing Qi Pill Medicinal Herbs.

However, after refining ten batches, the average pill formation rate was only ten percent, meaning only about two pills were produced per batch of two materials.

Wang Hong carefully analyzed and thought it might be due to the fire's intensity because the increased materials required a different level of heat.

He attempted to adjust the fire intensity multiple times, but the results were not ideal.

Wang Hong decided to check the Book Tower; perhaps there were some experiences from predecessors that he could learn from.

It was his first time on the second floor of the Book Tower. The books here were all related to various cultivation arts.

In the Cultivation World's development of tens of thousands of years, various arts related to cultivation had emerged. Among them, Alchemy, refining tools, Talismans, and formations had developed the most prosperously. Other skills like planting, breeding, Spiritual Cook, brewing, construction, etc., had slightly lower technical requirements and were easier to get into, resulting in a relatively lower status in the Cultivation World.

Although Qingxu Sect primarily focused on Alchemy, after countless years, they wouldn't be lacking in other skills either.

Facing rows of thousands of Jade Scrolls on Alchemy, Wang Hong was at a loss on how to choose, utterly clueless.

Picking up a random Jade Scroll and skimming through it briefly, it introduced two Tier-Two Elixirs' pill recipes and refining experiences.

Wang Hong had to admit it was a valuable find, something that would definitely cause a commotion among loose cultivators if revealed outside. However, it wasn't helpful to him at the moment.

He continued to browse hundreds of Jade Scrolls, not entirely without gains. One scroll mentioned a method of refining multiple batches at once. Additionally, he unexpectedly came across the pill recipe for Foundation Building pills, and upon inspecting it with his divine sense, he found he lacked all the required Spiritual Medicines.
