Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing now has two mu of Second Grade Spirit Fields.

The spirit plants in the first mu of spirit field cannot undergo too great a change.

Especially the top-grade spirit rice — this is the top priority.

Four thousand jin per quarter.

Of which eight hundred jin go to Li Lingbi.

One hundred fifty jin go to Hu Bugui.

But it doesn't end there; at the end of each quarter another one thousand two hundred fifty jin must be handed over, so only one thousand eight hundred jin can remain.

And of those, three hundred jin must be brewed into top-grade spirit rice wine and top-grade yellow rice wine, leaving only about one thousand five hundred jin of top-grade spirit rice in the end.

Currently, the only one that can be used flexibly is the second mu of Second Grade Spirit Field.

But it cannot be planted full, after all the mutant mother rice from Stone Mountain still needs to be transplanted over.

Therefore, after much thought, Xu Zhangqing ultimately chose two medicinal herbs.

Yang Extreme medicinal material: Golden Crow Vine.

Yin Extreme medicinal material: Mingyue Grass.

The former is a vine; it can enclose the entire spirit field, preventing people from seeing the situation inside.

The latter, because it has been cultivated once before, he has more experience with it, so there is no need to worry about any accidents occurring.

Yu Caiqing nodded: "Alright, the remaining Chi Yang Shen, Xuan Yin Lingzhi, and Taiji Flower I will find a way myself."

Xu Zhangqing asked: "How to find the seeds?"

Yu Caiqing opened her Jade Medicine Pouch: "Mingyue Grass seeds, I still have many here; as for Golden Crow Vine seeds, you can buy them on the market, or go to the Spirit Field Management Office to exchange with contribution points."

Xu Zhangqing blinked, eyes full of expectation as he pressed: "Senior Sister Yu, how is our remuneration calculated?"

Yu Caiqing replied: "If I am at the pill refining stage, you can share one pill from it, whether to sell or keep is entirely up to you.

If not at the pill refining stage, then buy it all at market price with spirit stones."

Xu Zhangqing heard this and fell thoughtful.

As a Senior Alchemist, any furnace of high-grade pills is worth at least several hundred middle-grade spirit stones; if it is an Earth Grade pill, the value multiplies at least five times, even ten times.

What's more, even when resting she is willing to buy them with spirit stones.

No matter how you look at it, this is a guaranteed profit business.

However, just as Xu Zhangqing wanted to claim the remuneration of one thousand Mingyue Grass plants.

On the other side, the Xuanming Tripod standing at the earth fire mouth suddenly trembled and emitted a faint "buzzing" sound.

The attention of the three people was instantly drawn over.

Yu Caiqing reacted fastest: "Looks like this furnace of Water Fire Longhu Pill is about to refine successfully."

This is a high-grade pill; Xu Zhangqing and Bai Zhu'er both anticipated it greatly.

Next, Yu Caiqing took out an amber-colored small box from her Jade Medicine Pouch; the moment she opened it, a wave of fierce baleful qi surged out.

Bai Zhu'er was startled and immediately retreated several steps, her eyes full of fear.

Xu Zhangqing was originally fairly calm; seeing her retreat, he also learned to step back a few paces.

After the two adapted and looked again, they discovered that inside the amber small box was actually a drop of mysterious liquid, silver with gold shining through, its surroundings gleaming with a cold metallic luster.

Bai Zhu'er exclaimed: "This is actually a drop of essence blood from a thousand-year Platinum Tiger!"

It is said that the Platinum Tiger's body possesses a trace of the Divine Beast White Tiger's bloodline.

Normal blood is also red.

Only the essence blood is instead a platinum color like metal.

Yu Caiqing said in a deep voice: "The final step of refining the 【Water Fire Longhu Pill】 is to put this drop of thousand-year Platinum Tiger essence blood inside, causing the medicinal power inside to erupt thoroughly."

This kind of alchemy scene Xu Zhangqing was seeing for the first time, so he concentrated fully... to secretly learn.

Then, Yu Caiqing approached the Xuanming Tripod, opened the lid a crack, and tossed the drop of thousand-year Platinum Tiger essence blood inside.

Instantly, a "hiss" sounded from inside.

Immediately after, as if boiling, streams of hot qi continuously surged out.

Strangely, this hot qi not only contained the thousand-year demon tiger's baleful qi, but even contained a trace of sharp Gengjin Sword Intent.

The entire Xuanming Tripod could somewhat not withstand the violent medicinal power inside, and began to shake wildly.

But it wasn't over; Yu Caiqing switched the Li Fire Formula to 【Yin Fire Formula】, mobilized the fire spiritual power in her own Qi Sea, and beckoned at the earth fire entrance below the Xuanming Tripod.

The originally stabilizing orange-yellow flames, accompanied by a "whoosh" sound, once again became violent, twisting wildly, as if venting rage.

The tripod body covered in frost patterns instantly became scalding hot, and a layer of red light emerged.

It looked as if it had been heated through.

Whoosh—

Whoosh whoosh—

Three tripod legs like coiling horned dragons continuously sprayed out bone-piercing cold qi.

For a time, the entire alchemy room alternated between cold and hot, becoming extremely unstable.

Xu Zhangqing silently retreated a few steps, and aimed the Lightly Vitality Gourd at the Xuanming Tripod; if this thing exploded, at least it could buy time to escape.

But as time passed, not only did it not explode, it became more and more stable.

In the end, the lotus on the tripod lid bloomed fully, radiating a soft glow.

At the same time, the 【Water Fire Longhu Pill】 inside the Xuanming Cauldron finished refining, and a rich medicinal fragrance spread out.

Yu Caiqing seized the timing, formed the Departing Fire Seal with her left hand, formed the Guiding Fire Seal with her right hand, then fiercely slapped the Xuanming Cauldron before her.

With a gurgle, the tripod lid flew up, and wisps of fire qi were drawn away.

Immediately after, a mass of flowing liquid drifted out from inside.

Because it was hot, it had not yet fixed its shape.

The whole thing circulated with a greenish-white luster.

It carried the vital meaning of wood.

And also the sharp edge of metal.

Yu Caiqing toyed with it with both hands, dividing one large mass into three smaller masses of similar size.

At this time, the Xuanming Cauldron emitted waves of coldness, causing the surrounding temperature to suddenly drop.

And the 【Water Fire Longhu Pill】, which had not yet taken shape, quickly turned from liquid to solid state.

Bai Zhu'er immediately raised her thumb in praise: "As expected of Senior Sister Yu, a high-grade pill is successfully refined as soon as it is said to be."

Xu Zhangqing thought to himself: "The whole process is far more complicated than my refining of Labor-Strength Pills, and there is also a certain danger."

Yu Caiqing put away the three 【Water Fire Longhu Pills】 separately, then took one of them, handing it over while saying: "This one counts as a gift for our cooperation."

Bai Zhu'er said enviously: "Now the market price of one Water Fire Longhu Pill can sell for at least one hundred ten middle-grade spirit stones."

Xu Zhangqing heard this and immediately took it with a laugh: "Senior Sister Yu is generous!"

Yu Caiqing rubbed her brow, looking somewhat tired: "I need to rest for a while, and afterward I will try refining the Earth Grade pill 【Yin-Yang Intertwined Pill】."

……

……

Several days later, autumn was about to end.

When all the spirit farmers began harvesting spirit rice.

Xu Zhangqing was already holding one thousand six hundred jin of top-grade spirit rice, leisurely coming to the Spirit Field Core Management Office.

Before it was always one thousand two or one thousand five, why was there more this time?

Of course it was to get more contribution points.

Anyway, already at Foundation Establishment Stage, giving a bit more posed no problem at all.

One thousand six hundred jin of Second Grade Spirit Field Produce yielded top-grade spirit rice, exchanged for 400 contribution points.

Plus the remaining 1600 contribution points from before, exactly reaching 2000, finally able to exchange with the Immortal Sect for a high-grade cultivation method or high-grade spell!!!
