Immortal Path Space

Chapter 75: Great Harvest

Looking at these more than a thousand Spirit Bees, although not dead, they were all weak and looked sickly.

Wang Hong had made some progress in learning Spiritual Medicine, so he attempted to reconfigure some medicinal liquids.

Based on the previous formula, he removed some aggressively medicinal components and added Spiritual Medicine that could gently replenish Qi, strengthen bones, and invigorate the body.

In the following days, Wang Hong only refined two batches of pills per day. He would then study the basic knowledge of Spiritual Medicine and continuously experiment on Spirit Bees based on the acquired foundational medicinal and pharmacological knowledge.

However, he did not formulate detoxifying Spiritual Medicine for the Spirit Bees. Instead, he enhanced their physique to resist toxicity and stimulate their bodily functions to develop resistance to severe poisons.

Afterward, every few days, there were still Spirit Bees dying, but the number of Spirit Bees dying from poisoning decreased.

In the end, when only three to four hundred Spirit Bees remained, they finally stopped dying from poisoning. Under Wang Hong's careful treatment with Spiritual Medicine, the physical condition of the Spirit Bees gradually improved.

Wang Hong pinched the wing of a Spirit Bee, aimed its stinger at his arm, and plunged the needle. However, the stinger broke, and his arm was unharmed.

He grabbed another Spirit Bee, took out a high-quality Magical Weapon Flying Sword from his Storage Bag, cut a small wound on his arm, and let the Spirit Bee's stinger pierce the wound. The surrounding area quickly reddened and swelled, followed by waves of sour pain, swelling, and a burning sensation.

Wang Hong endured this intense pain, carefully sensing the toxicity of the Spirit Bee.

After a moment, he took a detoxification pill, and the pain gradually disappeared, and the redness subsided.

Although Spirit Bees could now resist severe poisons, their inherent toxicity had hardly increased; it only allowed them to slowly mutate.

In Azure Void City, Qian Gui was at the counter, calculating his profits for the month. This was his favorite activity, and he did it at least once a day, sometimes several times a day.

Each time he calculated the accounts, a sense of accomplishment would arise within him.

Since aligning himself with Wang Kun, his annual income had increased by more than tenfold. The income from the first two sales of Spirit Wine alone exceeded his earnings from the previous year.

The increase in income also significantly improved the treatment of the clan's younger generation. Last year, a Qi Cultivation late-stage cultivator emerged in the family, and the prosperity of the clan was imminent. This elevated his prestige within the clan, surpassing all previous family heads.

He also envisioned accumulating some capital, expanding the business when the time was right, and securing a lasting foundation for the family, completely reversing the family's fortunes.

However, the last time he only received a few hundred Elixirs, and they had been sold out for half a year. He didn't know how many Elixirs would be supplied this time, and thinking about it cast a shadow over his otherwise pleasant mood.

At this moment, a transmission symbol flew to him, and with a wave of Spiritual Energy, a voice he longed to hear emanated from it, sounding like heavenly music.

He quickly tidied up his appearance and hurriedly left.

Qian Gui arrived at a not-so-large residence, pushed the door open, and entered a hall where several people were already waiting.

Among them were some familiar faces exchanging greetings. This was the first time they had all met together; previously, Wang Kun had only dealt with them individually.

Although some people were unfamiliar with each other, they could guess that they were also businesspeople in Azure Void City.

Qian Gui found an empty seat, and on the table were some spirit fruits and Spirit Tea for everyone to enjoy.

Before long, a total of fourteen people arrived one after another. Wang Kun also walked out from the back hall, and everyone stood up to pay their respects.

Although Wang Kun's cultivation level might not necessarily be higher than theirs, and he was only a Tier Nine steward in the immortal way trading company, they dared not show any contempt. Their financial path now relied on Wang Kun.

"Everyone, the Elixirs provided last time were a bit scarce. This time, I've brought tens of thousands of Elixirs, which should be enough for everyone."

The people below breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Today, I've gathered everyone for another matter. I received a notification from the higher-ups of the trading company, stating that we can organize the suppliers below into an Immortal Way Merchants Alliance."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. They were all independent small merchants, already struggling to survive. Naturally, they were unwilling to be further controlled and exploited by an organization. However, if they refused, they feared they might lose their future supply. It became a dilemma.

"Do not worry, the newly established alliance is only a free, loose, and mutual aid organization. Joining is voluntary, and you can leave freely. The leaders will be selected from among you. The main purpose of the alliance is mutual assistance and resource sharing. We will gather every six months, and each shop can trade their surplus items with others."

At this point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was a voluntary association and the mutual aid model appealed to them, many had unique products or family specialties that could be traded. There was also an opportunity to obtain specialties from other shops.

"In addition, there's another piece of good news. Starting today, the trading company can supply everyone with Spirit Wine, mainly Tier One low and medium quality. Tier One high-quality Spirit Wine is limited to one hundred kilograms per person."

Upon hearing this news, Qian Gui was the first to express interest in purchasing Spirit Wine, having tasted the sweetness before. Others also expressed the need to buy Spirit Wine. Previously, it was not that they were unwilling to sell; it was just that they lacked a source, and brewing Spirit Wine required a long time.

To increase their income, why not?

Then, Wang Kun presented Elixirs, Spirit Herbs, Spirit Wine, and other items for trade.

After the transactions were completed, everyone elected the directors of the alliance. In the end, Zhao Ning from Zhao's Pill Shop was successfully elected as the director.

Under Zhao Ning's leadership, everyone conducted the first mutual aid trade. Since it was the first time and there was not much preparation, the traded items were not plentiful, but it was still a good start.

This time, with an ample supply of Elixirs and the addition of Spirit Wine, they earned a total of 450,000 Spirit Stones.

Wang Hong estimated that these Spirit Stones were probably the total liquid assets of these small merchants over this period.

Since the last injury, Skinny Monkey's cultivation had dropped to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation, but with numerous Spiritual Medicines, he had recovered. Despite his poor talent and cultivation level, he was still adept at earning Spirit Stones. In the past six months, after deducting costs, he earned 300,000 Spirit Stones.

Wang Hong decided to reward him with a few Green Spirit Peaches in the future to improve his cultivation level.

Including the income from Zhao Ning's Elixir Pavilion, this time they earned a total of 980,000 Spirit Stones, the most Wang Hong had ever received at once.

Thinking about expanding the space and gaining nearly ten more acres, his mood improved significantly.

When he first arrived in Azure Void City, with a few thousand Spirit Stones in his pocket, he felt like a wealthy hidden figure among Qi Cultivation cultivators.

Back at his residence in Azure Void City, the Ma Brothers were practicing Alchemy. According to Zhao Ning, their pill success rate had reached over thirty percent, at least making Alchemy no longer a losing business.

He Yuan, however, seemed a bit down lately. After recovering from his injuries and returning to the clan, his status had slightly improved. However, the clan had focused on cultivating a younger cultivator in recent years, making it nearly impossible for him to obtain a Foundation Building pill from the clan. Due to his older age, the success rate of Foundation Building would be much lower, and the clan naturally chose the younger, more promising cultivator for maximum benefits.

Wang Hong couldn't console him on this matter and decided to observe his performance later. After all, he hadn't obtained a Foundation Building pill himself.

The mutated Spirit Grains in the spirit fields of the courtyard, after using Space soil last time, were now flourishing and had grown to over a foot tall.

After checking all these matters, Wang Hong gave some instructions, had a brief meeting with everyone, and then didn't stay much longer in Azure Void City. He returned to the sect.
