A Long Way to Go

Not long after Shen Xiang returned to Taiwu Gate, he went to the Divine Weapon Kingdom again to look for Liu Meng'er, but Liu Meng'er had not returned yet, so he had to return to Taidan Royal Court to continue waiting.

"It seems that I have to go to Icewind Valley to find her myself." Shen Xiang said, then closed his eyes and condensed the golden ambergris. He guessed that Hua Xiangyue was very interested in the Life-Restoring Pill and the Good Fortune Fruit. Although this woman's feelings for him were unclear, he trusted Hua Xiangyue very much. What's more, this was a beautiful and excellent woman who had helped him a lot.

If one reaches the ultimate realm, the golden ambergris' ripening ability will be much stronger. Su Meiyao once said that if Shen Xiang's cultivation reaches a certain level, the condensed ambergris can make some spiritual medicines instantly grow to the age of several thousand years.

Shen Xiang's current golden ambergris is pretty good. He estimates that he only needs two months to produce the medicinal materials for five life-restoring pills and a good fortune fruit.

He had already been planting the herbs for the Life-Restoring Pill, and had obtained two more from the medicine garden below the Primordial Holy Land. He was now concentrating his attention on the Good Fortune Fruit Tree.

This was his first time planting a heavenly-grade elixir, and it was a fruit tree!

Shen Xiang only knew that the Fortune Pill was used to improve strength in the Nirvana Realm. When one reached the Nirvana Realm, a lot of true Qi needed to be compressed. For them, the effect of ordinary pills was minimal. After taking the Fortune Pill, they could save a long time in cultivating true Qi.

"The Creation Pill is needed for those who have survived more than six tribulations of Nirvana. Even immortals who have survived nine tribulations need this pill to quickly improve their strength! You have to know that the Creation Pill not only improves true energy, but also the spirit and body. It is an all-round pill and there are not many of them in the heavens." Su Meiyao said.

Shen Xiang said: "Is the Creation Fruit the only main ingredient for refining the Creation Pill?"

"You can also refine it this way, but some alchemists have to add some other heavenly-grade spiritual medicines to increase the success rate! If it were you, I think you could directly use this good fortune fruit and auxiliary medicinal materials that are more than ten thousand years old to refine it, but with your current consciousness and true energy, it's still too early!"

True Qi is used to release flames. The stronger the released flame, the more true Qi is needed. The Creation Fruit is a heavenly spiritual fruit with very strong vitality. It is said that ordinary flames cannot do anything to this heavenly fruit.

"The immortals in the heavens need it. If I have a large amount of fortune pills in the future, then won't I be able to live a carefree life in the heavens?" Shen Xiang said excitedly.

"Not necessarily. The forces in the heavens will never allow a new force with abundant resources to emerge. They will either win you over or destroy you! If you don't have Taiwumen, Liu Meng'er and Hua Xiangyue as your backing, the same will apply to you in this mortal world." Bai Youyou said.

The last time Shen Xiang participated in the alchemy competition in the King's Continent, he refined a lot of Five Elements True Essence Pills. At that time, Wang Quan was jealous of him to death, because this kind of pill could make many True Martial Realm people stronger, and that was something that could not be bought with money.

There are two women, Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou, guiding Shen Xiang, and their goal is to let Shen Xiang rush to the heaven. Only there can Shen Xiang find medicinal herbs that can restore their strength. This is a very long journey.

Now, they began to let Shen Xiang prepare to enter the heaven. Although it seemed early, they thought that according to Shen Xiang's current speed, it was about enough.

"Junior Master, open the door! You've been staying in there for more than a month, and you're almost getting moldy!" Gu Dongchen shouted while knocking on the door.

Gu Dongchen came to look for Shen Xiang several times, but Shen Xiang did not open the door. Only a guy like Shen Xiang could make the head of Taiwu Sect be turned away.

"Little brat, you are too leisurely as a sect leader! I am a disciple in the early stage of Spiritual Martial Realm and I am very busy. How can you have the nerve to be lazy?" Shen Xiang said unhappily as soon as he opened the door.

Gu Dongchen curled his lips and said, "How can I be idle? I have to train those little brats in the Ace Martial Academy all day long, and I also have to control the overall situation and stabilize the entire Taiwu Province! My junior brother has to go through the Nirvana Tribulation, and I have a lot of things to do."

"Then why are you bothering me?" Shen Xiang brought Gu Dongchen in.

"I want to ask you for some Five Elements True Essence Pills. Please name a price!" Gu Dongchen said with a bitter smile, "I'm here to be slaughtered by you. Are you still not happy?"

"Two million crystal stones a piece, don't bargain with me." Shen Xiang said with a sly smile. If someone comes to his door to be slaughtered, how can I not slaughter him ruthlessly?

Gu Dongchen looked painful, shook his head and sighed: "How great it would be if I had a beautiful daughter? Maybe you would give me the elixir for free!"

"Give me a hundred pills first!" said Gu Dongchen.

"Deliver it with Zhenyuan Pills." Shen Xiang said. He needed a large amount of Zhenyuan Pills now. When the time comes for him to build up his own power, he would use the Danhai tactics and use pills to smash the enemy to death, and create a small army of three thousand Zhenwu Realm.

Gu Dongchen counted the True Essence Pills for Shen Xiang and suddenly left in a hurry. Although Shen Xiang's price was very high, he knew that in the entire mortal martial world, it was very difficult to buy so many Five Elements True Essence Pills at one time.

Because of years of development, some spiritual medicines are now scarce, and alchemists have become fewer and fewer for this reason, so the current mortal martial world is much worse than it was a hundred thousand years ago.

Those in the Zhenwu realm are the backbone of the sect. The more there are, the better, which requires a large number of elixirs.

Shen Xiang felt that if he opened a medicine shop now, it would definitely be very popular, because his Foundation Establishment Pills, Five Elements True Essence Pills, and Soul Forming Pills were all rare and in great demand, but he wanted to keep them for himself.

"Alas, I have to consolidate my cultivation now, otherwise I will rush forward, so that the golden ambergris' ripening ability will be very strong." Shen Xiang sighed.

"Your crazy master is doing this for your own good. Just be patient. It's already rare that you have used elixirs to reach this level in a short period of time. Also, with your strength, if you are careful, you should be able to survive the Three Realms War." Su Meiyao said.

Even so, Shen Xiang still has a lot of things to do. He can no longer cultivate true Qi, but he can temper his body, practice the divine way, and grow medicinal herbs. Each of these can improve his strength.

Two months passed, and just as Shen Xiang expected, the Good Fortune Fruit Tree grew and produced a fruit. The medicinal materials for five Life-Restoring Pills were also collected.

"Hehe, it's time to take Hua Xiangyue, the enchantress, as my maid!" Chen Xiang laughed and said, "With such an excellent female slave, I will definitely be very cool when I take her out in the future."

"You will only be killed by a man's jealous eyes!" Su Meiyao laughed. She did not object to Shen Xiang winning over a female alchemist like Hua Xiangyue, because she felt that this was also a way for Shen Xiang to expand his power.

Shen Xiang discovered that he was indeed a treasure trove of spiritual medicines, but the medicine garden in the ring seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.
