Chapter 597: Chapter 220: Improved Annual Ring Skill, Alchemy Furnace Reopened (2)

A month passes, and it becomes three years.

"This matter cannot be rushed.

For a Spirit Plant that needs a thousand years of cultivation, even if we exert all our efforts, it requires a long accumulation to truly grow it."

Zhou Changwang remains quite calm about this.

Besides, he places his spare time into the Essence Enhancement Pill and Recovery Pill formulas.

He quickly masters them.

And this is the reason he is confident of refining Middle Grade, Top Grade, and even Top Grade Essence Enhancement Pills in a short time.

Now, he only lacks some corresponding Spiritual Materials.

In fact, he has already asked Zheng Ajiu to gather them.

The other party proposed a plan that surprised him greatly.

For the people he first met after arriving in Celestial Essence City, he still has some trust, and seeing the other’s efforts and management over the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land these days, he acknowledges it sincerely.

Therefore, when it was proposed that there are many Spirit Plant Masters within the Spirit Land and that if some Spiritual Materials are missing, they can be purchased from them, he fully agrees with the suggestion.

Thus, after listing the required Spiritual Materials, he directly announced it on a bulletin board at Five Peaks Mountain’s land section.

Naturally, it was Zou Shuixiu and Zou Yin Hua, the two cultivators sent by Zou Family, who handled the procurement.

Both are from an Alchemy Master background, and while their alchemy skills may not be very strong,

being from an Alchemy Family like Zou Family, they naturally have skills in handling and identifying various medicinal materials.

Entrusting it to them is naturally no problem.

Of course.

Apart from that, Zhou Changwang also had intentions to test the two.

Though he didn’t refuse Zou Family’s initial goodwill, if these two are not competent, even if they were very beautiful, he wouldn’t keep them around.

Zou Shuixiu and Zou Yin Hua, after a month of interaction, also understood that Zhou Changwang is an ascetic cultivator focused solely on cultivation and always desires to prove his capability.

Therefore, they were very attentive to this matter.

In fact, whenever some Spiritual Materials are missing, they contact their family to help procure them.

Thus.

Only three days after Zhou Changwang’s instructions were issued,

thirty-seven types of Spiritual Materials, a total of a hundred sets, were delivered by the two of them.

Upon brief inspection, Zhou Changwang was very satisfied.

Although not top-grade items, they were quite good.

It shows that both of them put in the effort.

Thus, without hesitation, he handed out two Youthful Appearance Pills.

Top Grade Youthful Appearance Pill.

For any female cultivator, it is an irresistible temptation.

Just like Zheng Ajiu before.

So are Zou Shuixiu and Zou Yin Hua now.

After expressing their endless gratitude, they gradually retreated.

"This is fine.

With this arrangement, if I want to perform alchemy, I just need to give the order, and someone will provide the Spiritual Materials.

It saves a lot of effort.

Thankfully. The first batch of rent has been received, almost yearly, totaling seventy thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Along with the fifty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones I added, otherwise, it wouldn’t be enough to gather all one hundred sets of materials for the Essence Enhancement Pill.

Zhou Changwang knows well that the Zou sisters secured some assistance from their family in gathering these materials.

But he was willing to accept them initially to make things easier for himself.

With such assistance available, naturally, he won’t let it go unused.

"However, with this, my Spirit Stones have run out again.

Only more than ten thousand remain."

Zhou Changwang frowned slightly.

This is also why he suddenly decided to engage in alchemy.

Mainly because his expenses were too high during this time.

At the Celestial Essence Auction, although he made quite a splash and bought many items,

it also emptied all his previously stored Spirit Stones.

On top of the over fifty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones paid for leasing the Spirit Land.

When receiving the Spirit Land, he thought the expenses wouldn’t be that high, but Master Tian Heng’s sudden proposal of an array plan perfectly integrated with the Spirit Land — what could he do? He could only grit his teeth and agree.

After all, who would choose the worse option if there’s a better one?

Hence, another hundred thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones were spent.

Suddenly, it took away his accumulation exceeding two million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, leaving just over ten thousand remaining.

Less than many Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators.

That’s why he decided to start alchemy.

Both to earn Spirit Stones for expenses,

and for his cultivation.

After all, compared to the lower-grade Essence Enhancement Pills circulating in the market, the pills he refines are naturally more reliable.

In terms of quality, it is also more assured.

After all.

With a hundred sets of materials, he is confident that in a very short time, he can elevate to the level of mastery or even Small Success.

Naturally, he can also correspondingly refine some Middle Grade or even Top Grade Essence Enhancement Pills.

"Peak Master.

Are you planning to refine Essence Enhancement Pills?"

After Zhou Changwang gave his orders and Zou Shuixiu and Zou Yin Hua entered the Alchemy Room to prepare some Spiritual Materials in advance, Zou Shuixiu couldn’t help asking boldly.

"No.

I plan to refine Fushen Pill.

To fulfill the Alchemy Contract with your Zou Family and Chen Family.

You can stay here, think of it as witnessing."

Zhou Changwang said casually.

"Can we also stay?"

The two were stunned, and their faces instantly showed excitement and joy.

They’ve always known that Zhou Changwang’s alchemy level is extremely high.

Possibly even beyond the Initial Second Grade level, potentially being a Mid-Tier Second Grade Alchemy Master.

But having never witnessed it personally, they haven’t heard definitive news from their elders either.

Thus, only speculation exists in their hearts.

But whether he’s an Initial Tier or Mid-Tier Second Grade Alchemy Master, both are heights they dare not imagine.

After all, even their Patriarch and Clan Leader are only at the Initial Tier Second Grade level and can only refine a limited number of Initial Tier Second Grade Spirit Pills.

While this Peak Master in front of them can refine the Fushen Pill comparable to the Foundation Condensation Pill.

Being around him, even getting a few casual tips, would have boundless benefits and save a lot of painstaking pondering.

Now, since he’s allowing them to watch, they are naturally overjoyed.

And they’re quite eager to learn a trick or two from this.

Contrary to what Zhou Changwang previously thought, the two actually have quite a good alchemy talent.

While not the top of the Zou Family, they are still top-notch.

Being sent to follow Zhou Changwang was also due to the clan leader’s persuasion, plus their strong desire for progress.

They originally thought it would take a long time before they could observe the Peak Master’s alchemy practice.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came so soon.

Zhou Changwang certainly wouldn’t bother with what the two think.

He’s allowing them to stay solely because there was an agreement with the Chen Family and Zou Family beforehand.

Since they belong to the Zou Family, plus they can now be considered part of his own, he allows them to stay.

The extent they learn from his alchemical methods will depend on their talents.

As early as a month ago, the Chen Family and Zou Family had collected and delivered the Spiritual Materials needed for the Fushen Pill.

He originally planned to find any random time to refine the Spirit Pill.

He only postponed it due to feeling certain apprehensions and threats regarding the Heaven and Earth Alliance, thus focusing more on the cultivation techniques and Seventy-two Flying Heaven Sword Formation.

Now.

With the initial formation of the Seventy-two Flying Heaven Sword Array,

the urgency has lessened. Coupled with the lack of Spirit Stones, he naturally decided to resume the alchemy matters.

"Peak Master,

is there anything we should do?"

With the door of the Alchemy Room closed tightly, the two couldn’t help but ask nervously.

"There’s no need for you to be busy.

Just watch from the side."

Zhou Changwang waved his hand, then with an easy flip of his hand, a Pill Furnace appeared in front of him.

With a simple gesture, the pill furnace grew with the wind, transforming into a large cauldron, and then settled steadily within the Alchemy Room.

"This is the Five Dragons Fire-Splitting Furnace..."

Standing by, the two couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing this Alchemy Furnace.

Being Alchemy Masters themselves, they naturally pay attention to all information regarding alchemy.

Naturally, they’ve heard about the appearance of a Lower Grade Treasure Level Alchemy Furnace, the Five Dragons Fire-Splitting Furnace, at the Celestial Essence Auction.

They were also quite curious and focused on the cultivator who won this Alchemy Furnace.

But they never expected that the one who secured the Five Dragons Fire-Splitting Furnace was their Peak Master.

This mysterious, Second-grade Alchemy Master — the Kunpeng Pill Master~!
