Chapter 801: Jiang Lan prepared to wait quietly for two months
The potion created using life essence that had been imbued with an affix was already a brand-new item; therefore, its affix slot was empty and could have an additional affix attached to it.
The batch previously handed over to President Cai was, in fact, composed of potions that had not been imbued with any affixes.
The reason was that there were too many types of affixes, and Yun Shen could not guarantee that he could spawn a batch of potions with the same affix every month.
For different types of items, the number of affix types that could be spawned varied, and it required Yun Shen to use time to test them out one by one.
For something like life essence, the "affix library" was relatively small, making it easier to spawn identical affixes.
Originally, Yun Shen had intended for all potions sold in the future to be the version without affixes, while those with affixes would all be used internally, as it was inconvenient to bring them out for sale.
However, the colorless affixes of this Profound Heaven Potion Factory changed Yun Shen's mind.
Yun Shen looked at that batch of Bone Strengthening Potion Version 1.0; the affix slots showed that they had all already been imbued with affixes.
Jiang Lan also revealed an expression of disbelief.
She had been observing the entire process, and every step had followed the recipe, yet the final potion produced was different from what was on the recipe.
This feeling was like throwing pork and soybeans into a pressure cooker, only to have it come out not as stewed pork with soybeans, but as Buddha Jumps Over the Wall...
"This... what exactly is the principle behind this..."
Jiang Lan's curiosity was piqued, and she wanted to conduct some research.
Seeing this, Yun Shen chuckled: "Don't bother thinking about researching it. Just like how you can't figure out the principle behind my methods, this building already involves the realm of rules; it's not something you can fully research right now."
"Fine, I'll go get to work then."
Jiang Lan was very interested in the magical aspects of this building, but she had a heavy workload and could not waste her time here.
After Jiang Lan left, Yun Shen began to tinker with matters regarding the Profound Heaven Potion Factory.
First was to determine how many to build.
Bone Strengthening Potion Version 1.0 not only required life essence but also some spirit plants and biological materials as auxiliary ingredients.
The replicated Small Black Box could not devour and replicate spirit plants, so all spirit plants were produced within Yun Shen's territory.
As for biological materials, they were actually basically produced from the Rearing Grotto-Heaven of the Mountain and Sea Eatery.
Yun Shen usually took a look at the Mountain and Sea Supermarket every day; anyway, he wasn't short on source crystals, so he simply bought all the goods.
Among these goods were wild monster cubs produced from the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, all of which Yun Shen had released into the Rearing Grotto-Heaven for captivity.
Yun Shen needed to consider the production volume of these potions before deciding exactly how many to build.
Thus, this building was upgraded to level 15 by Yun Shen, as he prepared to see what its maximum production capacity was.
The subsequent work could be handed over to the Profound Heaven Researchers; once they finished calculating the output of various raw materials and the consumption during production, they would tell him exactly how many to build.
Considering that the output of raw materials was limited, he certainly wouldn't be able to build many, and it wouldn't cost too many soul crystals.
The news that a prototype of a World Wonder had appeared in the Azure Star Sector spread like wildfire, and somehow it began to circulate in the outside world.
Every lord of the various races who knew that the Azure Star Sector was near their own civilization region became excited, and many factions wanted to form legions to cross regions and head to the Azure Star Sector.
Anyone who possessed a World Wonder would receive infinite benefits.
Binding a World Rare Object would increase the difficulty of monster tides, but occupying a World Wonder would not; on the contrary, it could significantly boost the development and strength of a territory.
Although it was currently unclear what the capabilities of that World Wonder were, as long as it was a World Wonder, it was not to be missed.
The quality of a World Wonder was different from a World Rare Object; at the very least, it could reach Shi Shi quality.
But even if it were only an Shi Shi quality World Wonder, it could still exert astonishing effects, and no matter what type it was, it would make people green with envy.
The lords of the Azure Star Sector, who had become the target of public criticism, were gradually losing confidence in guarding the World Wonder.
Surrounded by a pack of wolves, wanting to protect the World Wonder was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
The high-ranking officials of the Azure Star Sector, having no other choice, had to declare a truce with the Blood Scale Realm Sector, promising to give up the fight for this World Wonder.
If it weren't for the fact that this World Wonder had not yet fully gestated and formed, and thus could not be occupied, the Gu Ailuo family would have already taken action instead of just wasting time in the Azure Star Sector.
The lords of the Azure Star Sector all felt very aggrieved. Clearly, it was a World Wonder that had appeared in their own territory, yet they could only look from afar and not touch it. How was this any different from marrying a wife only to watch her be defiled by other men on the wedding night, and finally being snatched away to the red-light district?
No one knew what the quality of this World Wonder was, and the lords of the Blood Scale Realm Sector were all very expectant; if it could reach Legendary quality, then they could dominate the nearby civilization regions in the future!
At this moment, within a certain sea area of the Azure Star Sector, the sky and the coastline were filled with dense swarms of various warships.
Lan En was on one of these warships, and upon learning that the Azure Star Sector was no longer competing for the World Wonder, he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
According to the original plan, Lan En was supposed to head to the Blue Star Sector and enter the Killing Battlefield within the Inheritance Temple.
But since he had encountered a prototype of a World Wonder, he naturally couldn't let it go.
After all, the inheritance of the first-generation Killing Will was still too far away, and the difficulty of obtaining it was too high.
The most critical point was that it hadn't been announced yet how the inheritance could be obtained, so going there in advance would likely not be of much use.
But the World Wonder was different; there weren't many powerful civilization regions nearby, and the Blood Scale Realm Sector was considered the top-tier one in this area.
The only ones Lan En was wary of were the Deep Blue Star Sector and the Blue Star Sector.
From now on, he would not leave this place but would remain stationed here until the World Wonder had fully gestated and formed.
Although this would affect the efficiency of everyone farming soul crystals, for most lords, it was still within an acceptable range.
There were also wild monsters in the sea, and since generally no lords would head to the sea to farm monsters, the number of wild monsters in the sea was usually higher than on land.
However, because the effect of the Town Ranking Tournament only applied within the town and had nothing to do with the sea, the average quality of wild monsters in the sea could not compare to those on land.
Lan En didn't know how long he would have to wait here, thinking it would probably be just one or two months, and at most it wouldn't exceed three months.
An Shi Shi quality World Wonder generally required one month to finish gestating; this was the average time.
If it were Legendary quality, it was generally three months.
Lan En could be certain that when it was discovered, this World Wonder had already been gestating for some time, so he dared to be sure it wouldn't take three months.
He even estimated that at most he only needed to wait here for two months to have a result!
As for leaving temporarily?
Leaving was impossible; what if it fully formed just as he walked away?
Lan En knew that he couldn't securely take this World Wonder. Besides their Gu Ailuo family, other factions in the Blood Scale Realm, having heard the news of the World Wonder, were also forming legions for an expedition and were on their way.
If it weren't for this reason, the Azure Star Sector really might not have given up the competition so early.
These were all competitors. He had currently advanced to Mythical and was the lord with the most hope of obtaining this World Wonder; he could not be careless and lose the prize.
