Chapter 748: Chapter 694: Flood Prevention Preparations

In less than half a year, the Heavenly Interence Sect in the Nine Rivers Realm has already begun to resemble a grand sect.

Every time the old servant of the Xie Family, Luoo Tingzong, travels from Guan Nanbao to the Heavenly Interence Sect, he notices different changes, becoming increasingly prosperous and reminiscent of the Heavenly Interence Sect in the Earth Spiritual Realm.

Upon reaching the lnner Affairs Hall and meeting Ge Yuchan’s master, True Monarch Fantao, Luoo Tingzong hands over the supplies the Heavenly Interence Sect needs, and in return, receives the Elixirs and talismans produced within the Heavenly Interence Sect in the past month from True Monarch Fantao.

After examining each other’s exchanges, both reveal expressions of amazement.

Li Fantao praises, "True Venerable Tianbao is truly remarkable; the raw materials for Yuan Nourishing Elixir are not found in nearby workshops or in markets. Even with the Zhuge Family’s help, not much could be obtained. Yet, True Venerable Tianbao could supply them all."

Luoo Tingzong responds with a hint of pride, "Of course, our Old Ancestor originally built his fortune by trading various resources, though there were those who tried to interfere later, they still pale in comparison to our Old Ancestor’s tactics. Whatever the Heavenly Interence Sect needs in the future, just speak up, and our Old Ancestor will definitely find a way to get them.

Luoo Tingzong didn’t mention that his Old Ancestor plotted this out on the very day he arrived in the Nine Rivers Realm, and later, acquired all the resources available in the market.

The Old Ancestor is always like this, feeling uneasy if the warehouse is empty.

Luoo Tingzong continues, "It’s unexpected that such a busy time during the initial establishment of the Heavenly Interence Sect, it could still spare enough manpower to draw talismans and refine Elixirs, especially each Yuan Nourishing Elixir is of premium quality."

True Monarch Fantao smiles and remains silent; if there were more raw materials, the Heavenly Interence Sect could provide even more.

It’s all thanks to Shi Xiaowu from the Lii Jiuchuan family for accurately quantifying the Formula for Yuan Nourishing Elixir, allowing even those without alchemy training to produce stably after seventeen or eighteen familiarizations.

Li Fantao jokes, "As long as True Venerable Tianbao is willing to receive them and can help find the raw materials, the Heavenly Interence Sect promises stable production. In five years, it won’t be a problem to increase it."

Five years later, the Yuan Nourishing Tea planted by Jiangg Ziying and others should mature, at which point it can be harvested twice a year, and even used as candies for Qi Cultivation Disciples.

Luoo Tingzong laughs, "Our Old Ancestor says, take as much as there is. If the Heavenly Interence Sect has any good stuff in the future, we’ll take it all. With our Old Ancestor here, both families will earn handsomely."

"That’s excellent."

Li Fantao personally escorts Luoo Tingzong out. In the past half year, the Heavenly Interence Sect has supplied tens of thousands of Yuan Nourishing Elixirs to Xie Tianbao, but he hasn’t sold a single one. Due to the shortage of raw materials, Yuan Nourishing Elixirs are out of stock in the market.

Little did anyone know that Xie Tianbao wasn’t intending to sell them at high prices but waiting for the demand price for Yuan Nourishing Elixirs to soar to dismantle the Commerce Alliance in the Nine Rivers Realm. Whoever is willing to cooperate with him, he will sell the Yuan Nourishing Elixir to them, letting them profit.

Xie Tianbao isn’t interested in earning a certain amount, but entry qualifications. Once inside, the opportunities to play are plenty.

Li Fantao isn’t inclined to investigate much; as long as Xie Tianbao doesn’t default on payments, how he sells them is his business.

Elixir Hall.

On Yuquan Peak, the two Alchemy Elders who used to hold themselves above work, witnessing the Heavenly Interence Sect’s flourishing development and the ever-present aroma of medicine in the Elixir Hall, finally put aside their airs after collecting the basic salary for three months with empty pockets, coming to the Elixir Hall seeking work.

However, upon arrival, they saw countless new faces of Alchemy Apprentices vying for tasks, submitting Elixirs, and some even weeping for not securing any alchemy tasks.

Simply exaggerated!

But after discovering that the monthly salary of those Alchemy Apprentices was several times higher than their basic salary as Alchemy Elders, their expressions became even more exaggerated.

Immediately, they shamelessly went to find True Monarch Bailu, even if it meant them helping refine Elixirs for the Qi Cultivation Stage, they were willing. The basic salary simply wasn’t enough!

But before they found True Monarch Bailu, they first spotted seven oddly-shaped, eight-armed Alchemy Furnaces inside True Monarch Bailu’s dedicated Alchemy Room.

Under each Alchemy Furnace was a Spiritual Ginseng Treasure, continuously tossing Spirit Plants inside, the tossing was so reckless, it didn’t resemble alchemy but rather burning paper.

But just by this random tossing, the mechanism under one furnace opened, spitting out nine round Elixirs, all premium Yuan Nourishing Elixirs!

The two Alchemy Elders widened their eyes.

"Is this the Zhuge Family’s new mechanism? Alchemy doesn’t even require people anymore?"

"Won’t we be completely useless then?!"

Suddenly, a sense of crisis enveloped both of them.

At this moment, Little Xiu among the Spiritual Ginseng Treasures due to improper operation, had his Spiritual Ginseng Xiuzi set aflame by the Earth Fire, scaring him into jumping.

Chirp!

The other Spiritual Ginseng Treasures seeing this flocked together to pin Little Xiu down to the ground, swinging various Xiuzi frantically to beat down the flames on Little Xiu, and then...

All seven Spiritual Ginseng Treasures caught fire.

Chirp!

Seven Spiritual Ginseng Treasures, waving their burning Xiuzi, ran amok around the room in panic, kicking over medicine pots, and in a panicked rush, Second Treasure crashed into a pillar and fainted.

"Who dares to set the Alchemy Room on fire!"

Muh Wushuang shouted loudly as he descended from the sky, his eyes flashing sharply. Seven Spiritual Ginseng Treasures immediately rushed in front of Muh Wushuang, crying and holding up the burning Xiuzi.

Seeing that it was just a fire and not someone causing trouble, Muh Wushuang showed a disappointed look and casually extinguished the fire.

"Alas... why does no one violate the sect rules so I can give them a beating or two? Being an enforcement leader is too hard. I should just help Junior Sister Yun catch beasts."

Muh Wushuang nodded to the two elders beside him who were left dumbfounded and went off to patrol elsewhere.

The two Alchemy Elders swallowed hard, feeling that the Heavenly Interence Sect was full of strange people, none of whom were easy to deal with.

Before long, True Monarch Bailu finished refining an elixir and came out, seeing the two Alchemy Elders, he respectfully invited them in.

Having had these experiences along the way, the two immediately behaved much more compliantly. True Monarch Bailu said a few more good words, stating that high-grade elixirs still depended on them for refinement, that the Puppet Elixir Furnace could only refine elixirs with uncomplicated processes, then painted two big pictures, promising future dividends, which immediately made the two express their willingness to serve Heavenly Interence Sect loyally.

If they don’t work hard, let alone the Alchemy Apprentices below pushing them to death, even the Pill Furnaces could steal their livelihood.

It’s too difficult!

It’s not just the Elixir Hall, but the entire Heavenly Interence Sect was in the same situation. Disciples of Yuquan Peak, who originally planned to retire, couldn’t sit still seeing the ’crazy’ disciples of the Heavenly Interence Sect.

Even those Registered Disciples had long forgotten their affiliations in the Earth Spiritual Realm, with only the thought left in their hearts of sacrificing themselves for the Heavenly Interence Sect.

The main thing was, if you work hard, you can earn. If you don’t earn, others will. Not earning is a waste!

Heavenly Chief Peak.

Lii Jiuchuan looked at the accounts sent from various places recently. Although it was far from eliminating the deficit, there was at least a positive trend.

It’s just difficult for these years. Once the spirit plants mature, and the first batch of Mining Puppets, Planting Puppets, and Construction Puppets made in cooperation with the Zhuge family are completed, most of the labor force can be freed up and invested in other productions.

For this purpose, True Monarch Baiyan has already taken Qii Yue to the Zhuge family to study, and even Shi Xiaowu followed.

Shi Xiaowu had only been there for a month and shocked the entire Zhuge family by solving many difficult armor problems using Math Dao.

So much so that the Supreme Elder of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Jing, personally came to ask how Lii Jiuchuan ended up with such capable disciples like Jiang Yuebai and Shi Xiaowu.

Lii Jiuchuan just wanted to say that his younger disciple Jiangg Ziying is also very impressive. In the future, when those grafted spirit plants mature, everyone will be shocked again.

"Sect Master, an invitation letter from the Heavenly Star Sect."

Qii Ming came in from outside and handed the just-received letter to Lii Jiuchuan.

After reading it, Lii Jiuchuan said, "Heavenly Star Sect wants to invite the Heavenly Interence Sect to explore the Secret Realm in the Central Three Region and have a little competition. They intend to give us a show of strength."

Qii Ming furrowed his brow, "It’s likely because they failed to suppress the Heavenly Interence Sect in business, and now they’ve come up with this new tactic. Sect Master, should we accept?"

Lii Jiuchuan put down the letter, "Why not accept? Go and call Huaixi over. This time he’ll lead the team, and have Li Shen Zhi ensure the safety of Heavenly Interence Sect disciples. Take the elites like Muh Wushuang, Yuu Qiuqi, Fang Yuxing, and Ge Yuchan, and from the Foundation Establishment Disciples, select ten outstanding ones from the Fuyao Immortal Conference to broaden their horizons."

Qii Ming took down the notes one by one, and Lii Jiuchuan suddenly sighed, got up, and walked to the window, watching the originally sunny weather turn cloudy and overcast.

"It’s a pity that our senior sister of Heavenly Cry Peak and Lu Nanzhi have both gone to the Immortal Palace..."

His own disciple hasn’t even served by his side yet, and already ran off to serve as an Immortal Servant for Immortal Monarch Chongmin, which made Lii Jiuchuan feel quite heartbroken.

Rumble~

Outside, the wind and rain were swaying, showing signs of rain. Lii Jiuchuan suddenly remembered something and turned to urgently instruct Qii Ming.

"Almost forgot, quickly go instruct all peaks to halt work, pull people out, and reinforce the foundations of all riverbanks, and improve some flood control works. They must withstand a hundred-year flood."

Qii Ming was puzzled, glancing outside.

"Sect Master, it’s just a thunderstorm, isn’t it? There’s no need to be so anxious, right?"

Lii Jiuchuan chuckled lightly, "Do as I say, and also send a letter to the Zhuge family to remind them. I don’t know about Immortal Monarch Chongmin, but I know my own disciple."

In the end, Lii Jiuchuan added another sentence.

"If anyone inquires, just say that the Heavenly Interence Sect wants to win over the people’s hearts by helping to repair the riverways, and say no more."

Lii Jiuchuan remembered that the west bank, where the Heavenly Star Sect was located, was much lower in elevation than their east bank...
