There were many scattered alchemists like Huang Kai. Unwilling to be enslaved by the Alchemy Hall, they naturally tried to find other paths. The simplest option was to cooperate with the Exalted Sect city lords who were assigned to guard external cities.
Those city lords had stable dicinal herb channels that could et all the needs of alchemists. If one could not survive within the mountain gate, going out to work under a Exalted Sect city lord was also considered a bright path.
If this force could be united and reestablish an alchemist alliance, then various channels would naturally co knocking on the door. It would also allow deeper interest binding with the Zuoqiu Clan and the Zhuo Clan.
These thoughts could not be executed imdiately. They could only be arranged step by step for now.
He quietly contacted those frustrated alchemists and recomnded them to Jade Spirit City. This also helped him earn so inco.
Those who took the initiative to change and wanted to try it would agree. Even just this group amounted to a considerable number.
Another month passed.
Yu Tangtang visited Cold Blood Peak for the third ti and brought several spiritual items that made Wang Yu’s eyes shine, as well as a new batch of pill requests. After a brief look, he imdiately understood the hidden reason.
It was the request of the Blood Eye Demonic Flood Dragon. Yu Tangtang was rely the errand runner. Even Tantai Chan ca to join in, staring at him eagerly.
Wang Yu remained speechless.
This batch of pills was large in quantity and mostly used by demonic beasts. The Blood Eye Demonic Flood Dragon must have connections and trading routes among them.
The previous tests had confird his ability, so this ti they increased the scale.
To be honest, Wang Yu did not believe the sect was unaware. They might even be participating. As for why he obtained this opportunity, it was probably because of Yu Tangtang.
Of course, his own solid skills were also a major factor.
As for whether selling pills to the demon race counted as aiding the enemy, that was a joke. He was a pure demonic cultivator, how could he discriminate by race.
Besides, whether in Taihu or among the Crimson Kite humans, either side was a hegemon. Demons could only curl up in places like the North South Severed Mountains, the Desolate Ancient Plains, or Vermilion Bird Divine Mountain.
“Tangtang, this batch of pills will be delivered within a year. Co once a month to collect them. Chan, follow into the alchemy room.”
“Wait.”
Yu Tangtang flew to a position where she could look down at Wang Yu. The distance between them was only a few inches. Her soft childish face was filled with anger.
“Wang Yu, you have not called Elder Sister Tangtang recently.”
Wang Yu laughed.
“Do not laugh. I will hit you.”
He had thought she wanted to enter with them, but it turned out to be this matter. His eyes moved slightly and he spoke softly.
“Elder Sister Tangtang, Chan is here. I am still an elder after all. How could I address you that way in public. I must keep at least a little dignity.”
Yu Tangtang gave Tantai Chan a suspicious glance, making the other blush crimson. She whispered back.
“I understand. Wang Yu, call a few more tis.”
“Elder Sister Tangtang, Elder Sister Tangtang, Elder Sister Tangtang.”
“That is enough.”
Satisfied, the little girl stepped aside. Her big sister attitude seed to have co from who knew where, but she was easy to please.
“Co in.”
Tantai Chan followed him. As soon as they entered the alchemy chamber, the restrictions rose. Two large hands wrapped around her from behind, hot breath brushing her neck.
Their bodies fit perfectly.
Round and soft.
“Hm… I… I ca to learn alchemy, Elder Wang.”
“Do not worry. Combining work with rest makes you learn faster.”
Hearing this, Tantai Chan leaned her head back, her whole body turning weak. Even so, her heart was still thinking.
Combining work with rest does not an resting first, right.
But now was not the ti to think about that. She also sank into this gentle world where she did not need to think about anything else.
As the saying went, when n and won work together, the work is never tiring.
So it was.
…
The next day.
Wang Yu climbed up from the floor and started the cauldron without a word.
Ever since this special relationship began with Tantai Chan, he had beco sowhat addicted. It really should not be so.
“Today, abstain from lust.”
Among the Blood Eye Demonic Flood Dragon’s requests, the main one was the Demon Essence Pill. Wang Yu had experience refining this pill, so he started with it.
Tantai Chan woke up quietly and ca to observe beside him. Such opportunities were rare in the Crimson Kite Domain.
With long term accumulation, she would certainly make great breakthroughs in the alchemical path. Moreover, Wang Yu would occasionally give her guidance, explaining the aning of certain steps during the process.
Half a month later, the flas faded.
Using divine sense splitting techniques, Wang Yu operated multiple cauldron simultaneously. With the aid of the Ice Chi Pill Fla, refining had beco more and more effortless recently.
The first batch yielded twenty one pills, all of them high grade.
What Wang Yu received in return was a rare spiritual item he had been searching for.
The refined blood of a third rank dragon blood demonic beast, the Dragon Horn Earth Python.
There were several hundred drops. With this, he could refine higher grade dragon blood secret dicines to further accelerate his body refinent cultivation.
He had already completed nearly half of his Core Formation third-layer cultivation progress. By the end of the year, he might be able to reach the bottleneck of the mid stage. However, his Body Refining realm was still stuck at the early third rank.
It was indeed sowhat slow.
With this batch of resources, the situation would improve considerably.
In addition, there were also two third-rank spiritual materials. One was the main ingredient for the third-rank cultivation pill ntioned in the Ice Soul Holy Demonic Scripture, the Guanghan Pill. It was the Moon Laurel Leaf.
This was convenient for him. If he used it to refine supre-grade pills, his cultivation speed would sharply increase again.
As usual, he would keep consuming pills until reaching pill resistance before switching to a new pill formula.
However, third-rank pills could not be used in such an extravagant manner. He could only use whatever he had. By collecting more suitable pill formulas ahead of ti, he would be able to refine them whenever he encountered the corresponding spiritual herbs in the future.
Most Core Formation cultivators used a very mixed assortnt of cultivation pills because the main ingredients were too rare.
The other item was called Soul Nourishing Liquid of a Hundred Ghosts.
It was a soul nourishing treasure liquid refined by extracting the essence of a hundred ghosts. It could greatly increase the origin of one’s divine soul. This was the entirety of his reward for this batch of pill refining.
He had previously ntioned this to Yu Tangtang, so he was not worried that the Blood Eyed Demonic Flood Dragon would offer sothing unsatisfactory.
These pills would require at least more than a year before the entire refinent batch could be completed. There was no need to consider a second commission for now.
After sending the visitor away, Wang Yu slowly absorbed and refined the Soul Nourishing Liquid. The substance looked like a puddle of black water. It was applied to the glabella.
Each use required several days. The improvent was obvious, bringing noticeable benefits to his divine sense.
Several days passed like this.
After the initial refinent, Wang Yu felt that his third-rank mid stage divine sense had clearly improved, equivalent to cultivating the Ancient Soul Art for a full year.
Once he used all of it, he would surely rise another minor level.
On this day.
Perhaps finally having received news, Yan Ling and the neighbor Xue Ying took the initiative to visit his cave mansion.
“Daoist Wang Yu, I recently heard from Alchemist Tantai that you also possess pill refining ability. I wonder what level you have reached. Are you able to refine third-rank high-grade pills?”
Yan Ling spoke directly, clearly having guessed Wang Yu’s intention.
After all, Wang Yu had deliberately let Tantai Chan pass the information to Yan Ling, so it was not surprising that she could infer his goal.
The third-rank resources that a single Blood Eyed Demonic Flood Dragon could provide were simply too few.
Not because the creature lacked them, but because the amount it offered was exactly equal to the value of Wang Yu’s labor.
In simpler terms, the orders were too few.
His production capacity had not reached the point of excess. He was simply greedy. When the resources were in hand, he would then slowly digest and redistribute them.
Taking while also receiving.
His behavior could be considered quite shaless, but as long as he could refine third-rank high-grade pills, everything else could be ignored.
In the Crimson Kite Demonic Domain, benefit and ability stood side by side.
The stronger your skill, the larger the burden you deserved to carry. It was completely reasonable.
“Your Highness Yan Ling may describe it in more detail.”
After that day, ti seed to accelerate. Already intending to recruit Wang Yu and use him as a bridge to contact the Zuoqiu family and the Zhuo family, Yan Ling naturally invested even more effort after discovering his alchemy talent.
Following the transaction with the Blood Eyed Demonic Flood Dragon, Yan Ling also established a pill refining collaboration with him. One side provided materials and pill formulas. The other side provided third-rank high-grade alchemy skill.
His reward was rare high-level resources.
Another spiritual material appeared in his storage. It was called the Fangshan Jade Tree Fruit. Its effect targeted the path of Body Refinent. One only needed to dissolve it in spiritual spring water and soak in it.
Together with the earlier obtained third-rank dragon blood fiend beast essence blood, it was enough to let him break through to Body Refinent third-rank mid stage. It was only a matter of ti.
Regarding divine sense, this ti he received the main ingredient for refining the Soul Dream Essense Pill. He had already experienced the effects of this divine sense pill.
It might allow his divine sense to reach the third-rank late stage.
These two consecutive transactions left him imnsely enriched. However, his ti was fully allocated. Aside from cultivation, he was refining pills. Even the comprehension of divine abilities had slowed down.
Only every few days would he have ti to imrse himself in divine ability comprehension.
Although Aurora Escape, Ice Soul Divine Light, and the Guanghan Twelve Phases progressed slowly, they steadily advanced.
He wished he could split himself into four copies.
Fengshui arts, Taiyin Nether Eyes, Lesser Asura Killing Fist, and so on, all fell into stagnation. Everything was subordinated to alchemy.
With the frenzy of pill refinent and the nonstop operation of the four Idle Slots, Wang Yu felt his improvent speed increasing considerably. Every day of pill refinent brought new insights.
Occasionally guiding Tantai Chan, his life was peaceful and pleasant.
Compared to the days of constant fear in Jade Spirit City, this was a completely different world.
His cultivation progress was simply outrageously fast.
He had no ti to go out, let alone prepare the pills he needed for breaking through the minor bottleneck.
In less than half a year, on the 316th day of his Elder career, his mana accumulation reached the three thousand strands limit. This ant that after Core Formation, in less than two years, he had completed all early stage accumulation with the help of the perpetual motion trait of the Idle Slots.
He now faced the bottleneck known as Strengthening the Core.
One had to pour all three thousand strands of mana into the golden core, allowing it to grow while refining the mana further.
Thus it would transform from strands into path.
Similar to the Qi Refining stage, ten strands beca one path.
However, starting from the fourth layer of Core Formation, two thousand path of mana were required to break through to the fifth layer, then four thousand path to break through to the sixth layer.
When the mana limit reached six thousand path, the second "Strengthening the Core" required ensuring the golden core reached a diater of five centi. Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the future step of shattering the core to form the Nascent Soul.
