Chapter 1469 - 1402: Treating Everyone Equally

Qin Feiyang nodded in realization and asked, "How have they been performing during this period?"

Wang Yi glanced at the two, nodded, and smiled, "They're both doing alright, but comparatively, Qin Chen's performance is a bit better."

Qin Chen is actually Mu Chen.

It was the name Qin Feiyang originally gave him.

"Tell me about it."

Qin Feiyang was curious.

"Qin Chen's mindset and approach to things are stronger than Wang XiaoJie's. Plus, his cultivation level is inherently higher than Wang XiaoJie's, so during this time, he's been the one taking care of Wang XiaoJie."

Wang Yi said with a smile.

Qin Feiyang nodded.

Qin Chen's experience is somewhat similar to his own.

Poisoned by Mu Qing, he became a cripple, went through despair and pain, and finally emerged transformed.

So, in terms of mindset, Wang XiaoJie definitely can't compare.

Wang Yi also smiled and said, "Of course, Wang XiaoJie has his reasons; after all, he's just a teenager and has only started on the path of cultivation. It's a bit difficult for him to absorb so much at once."

"That's why I let him practice alongside Qin Chen for some honing."

"As the saying goes, a jade must be carved to make a good piece."

"Wang XiaoJie's talent is better than Qin Chen's, but if not carefully cultivated, his future achievements may not necessarily surpass Qin Chen's."

Qin Feiyang said.

Wang Yi cupped his hands and said, "You have a kind heart, Young Master. It is Wang XiaoJie's great fortune to have you as his mentor."

Qin Feiyang chuckled and said, "Keep watching over them, but remember, unless it's the final moment of death, don't intervene to help them."

"Understood."

Wang Yi responded with a bow and then asked, "How long should they train?"

"Sharpness."

"I want to see a sharpness in them that their peers don't have, and only then will it end."

After saying this, Qin Feiyang headed straight back to the castle.

Everyone was in meditation, except for the Wealthy Elixir King and Fatty, who were organizing the treasures looted from the Zhuge family.

Qin Feiyang approached and smilingly asked the Wealthy Elixir King, "How many herbs for the Big Creation Pill do we have?"

"A lot."

The Wealthy Elixir King replied while organizing.

"Can you be more specific?"

Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes.

He knew there were many.

Because, even in just the Mu family's herb fields, there were quite a few herbs.

But exactly how many?

It needs to be clear.

This period, they've plundered not just the Mu family's fields, but also those cultivated by the State Preceptor's descendants in the Sea of Reincarnation.

And now they've looted the Zhuge family's treasure vault as well.

Altogether, it must be beyond imagination.

The Wealthy Elixir King stopped his work, pondered for a moment, stood up, and looked at Qin Feiyang, "We've gathered over a hundred sets of herbs for the Big Creation Pill, but currently, we can only produce thirty-three pills."

"That many?"

Qin Feiyang was surprised.

It truly was beyond imagination.

"Wait a minute."

"We've gathered over a hundred sets of herbs, yet only thirty-three pills can be made?"

Qin Feiyang asked suspiciously.

"Because we only have thirty-three Creation Fruits."

The Wealthy Elixir King replied.

"Uh!"

Qin Feiyang was stunned and then cracked a wry smile.

Of course!

Even though they have a Creation Tree, only the Mu family's Creation Tree bore thirty Creation Fruits.

The other tree only had three fruits.

The Creation Fruit is the main ingredient of the Big Creation Pill. Without it, making the pill is impossible.

"I carefully checked the records on the elixirs."

"According to them, the Creation Tree flowers once in a hundred years, produces fruit after another hundred years, and matures in yet another hundred years."

"This means, the whole process takes a total of three hundred years."

"So if we want to craft more Big Creation Pills, we'll have to find more Creation Fruits elsewhere."

"After all, three hundred years is too long to wait."

The Wealthy Elixir King looked at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Aside from the Big Creation Pill, we've gathered thirty sets of herbs for the Soul Condensing Pills."

"But for the Soul Condensing Pill, we've only managed to get ten sets of herbs."

The Wealthy Elixir King stated.

"So few?"

Qin Feiyang frowned.

"Both the Soul Condensing Pills and the Soul Condensing Pill have effects on gathering the Divine Soul."

"But the difference is, the Soul Condensing Pills are used when breaking through to the Pseudo God, which is the initial stage of gathering the Divine Soul."

"The Soul Condensing Pill is used when breaking through to the War God."

"Therefore, in terms of quality, these two pills have a higher grade than the Big Creation Pill."

"Hence, the herbs for them are rarer than those for the Big Creation Pill."

The Wealthy Elixir King explained.

"And what about the Five Elements Qiankun Pill?"

Qin Feiyang asked.

Upon hearing the Five Elements Qiankun Pill, the Wealthy Elixir King immediately gave a bitter smile.

"Although the Five Elements Qiankun Pill is on the same level as the Big Creation Pill in terms of elixir level, its herbs are even rarer than those for the Soul Condensing Pill and the Soul Condensing Pills."

"Because the Gui Water Essence, Ding Fire Essence, Yi Wood Essence, Ji Earth Essence, and Xin Gold Essence—these five herbs are rare natural treasures of the world, encountered but not sought."

The Wealthy Elixir King lamented.

Qin Feiyang gave a helpless smile and said, "Actually, the Five Elements Qiankun Pill isn't that important. After all, we've all opened the Door of Potential, and with the castle's Divine Artifact for cultivation, the benefits of the Five Elements Qiankun Pill aren't as critical."

"That's true."

"The most important are still the Big Creation Pill, the Soul Condensing Pills, and the Soul Condensing Pill."

"Especially the Big Creation Pill, as everyone's Door of Potential must be opened."

The Wealthy Elixir King said.

Qin Feiyang nodded and said, "Once you finish your current tasks, go to the herb fields to gather twenty-one sets of herbs for the Big Creation Pill and the Soul Condensing Pills."

"You want that many all at once?"

"What are you trying to do?"

Wealthy Elixir King questioned in amazement.

"Thunder Leopard and Wang Yangfeng have both reached the pinnacle of the Nine-Star War Emperor. Before comprehending the mystery of becoming a god, we must first help them open the Door of Potential."

"Although they don't need Soul Condensing Pills right now, it's better to give them in advance. When they break through to Pseudo God, they won't need to trouble us and can consume them directly."

Qin Feiyang laughed.

Fatty, who was buried in organizing treasures, lifted his head at this and looked at Qin Feiyang discontentedly, "Boss, you're being too generous!"

Wealthy Elixir King also frowned.

"I know what you're thinking?"

"Right now, we can only produce thirty-three Big Creation Pills and thirty Soul Condensing Pills."

"We are giving away twenty-one pills at once, what will you do when you need them later?"

"Is that what you're thinking?"

Qin Feiyang asked with a smile.

The two did not deny it.

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile.

"Though Thunder Leopard and Elder Wang joined us later, I treat all of you equally, whether it's you or them."

"They need it now, so I will give it to them first."

"After all, the stronger they are, the more they can help us."

"As for all of you later..."

"Don't worry, I will find a way to get more medicinal materials."

"I promise you all, before breaking through to Pseudo God, I will ensure you open the eighth layer of the Door of Potential."

"Additionally."

"I must solemnly state again."

"We are now one big family, we ought to protect and understand each other, without selfish intentions."

Qin Feiyang said.

In fact, Fatty and Wealthy Elixir King's thoughts were understandable to him.

After all, things were different now.

Before, they were just a small team without many members and didn't worry about elixirs.

But now.

The ancient tower holds hundreds of thousands of people.

Thus creating a situation of scarcity.

Of course, Qin Feiyang had anticipated this and made preparations.

Survival of the fittest!

It's the eternal rule.

Everywhere, resources tend to steer towards the winners.

However.

No matter how survival of the fittest plays out, those who have been following him, including the ferocious beasts, he will not forget, and he will prioritize taking care of them.

Like the Black Dragon, the beast, and the Flood Dragon, their contributions are lesser compared to Wang Yangfeng and others.

Especially the Black Dragon.

Since following Qin Feiyang, it has been in closed cultivation, but has Qin Feiyang ever given up on it?

No.

Not only didn't give up, as long as it wants something, Qin Feiyang will fulfill it if he can.

This is Qin Feiyang's character.

He values loyalty and friendship greatly.

If you treat him sincerely, he will repay tenfold or even a hundredfold.

Hearing Qin Feiyang's words, both Fatty and Wealthy Elixir King fell silent, a trace of shame on their faces.

Fatty looked at Qin Feiyang apologetically and said, "Boss, I'm sorry, I got selfish. I promise not to make the same mistake again in the future."

"Me too."

Wealthy Elixir King said with his head down.

Qin Feiyang laughed: "Recognizing mistakes and correcting them is the greatest good."

Seeing Qin Feiyang showing no signs of anger, both secretly sighed with relief, and a faint smile appeared on their faces.

"You guys carry on."

Qin Feiyang smiled and walked to the altar, opened the iron box, and started copying the Action Art from the Six-Character Mantra.

In fact, when it comes to contributions, Wealthy Elixir King's contributions to Qin Feiyang are the greatest.

Since Wealthy Elixir King entered the ancient castle, Qin Feiyang hardly touched the Pill Furnace.

You have to know.

With so many people and so many ferocious beasts in the ancient castle needing elixirs, it's not a small number.

Moreover.

Copying the Six-Character Mantra took a massive consumption of Qin Feiyang's Battle Intent pills.

If it weren't for Wealthy Elixir King's help, Qin Feiyang wouldn't be able to focus on cultivation as he does now.

Furthermore.

Due to Wealthy Elixir King often engaging in alchemy, his cultivation was delayed, and the originally lesser cultivation of the Viper surpassed him.

So towards Wealthy Elixir King, Qin Feiyang feels very grateful.

He also aims to meet Wealthy Elixir King's needs as much as he can.

Time flies!

The next day.

Wealthy Elixir King and Fatty finally sorted out the treasures of the Zhuge family.

Fatty directly entered the state of cultivation.

Wealthy Elixir King went to the ancient tower to collect medicinal materials for the Big Creation Pill and Soul Condensing Pill.

Afterward.

Qin Feiyang personally opened the furnace for alchemy, Wealthy Elixir King assisted on the side.

After all.

Wealthy Elixir King's talent in alchemy ultimately doesn't surpass Qin Feiyang's.

Both the Big Creation Pill and Soul Condensing Pill, like the Nine-Turn Dragon Blood Pill and Small Creation Pill, the more Elixir Patterns, the higher the success rate, so Qin Feiyang needs to make them himself.

However.

Even Qin Feiyang personally refining them, resulted in wasting the materials for one Big Creation Pill and Soul Condensing Pill.

Because these two kinds of elixirs are extremely difficult to refine.

Whether it's the heat or technique, precision is crucial.

After the refining process, Qin Feiyang was drenched in sweat, even his clothes could be wrung out.

And due to the wasted materials, now there's only eleven complete sets for Big Creation Pills left, and eight sets for Soul Condensing Pills.

But Wealthy Elixir King looked at Qin Feiyang with admiration.

Such a difficult elixir to refine, yet only one set of materials wasted, this level of alchemical skill is truly astounding.

Had it been him, even with five sets of materials, he might not manage to successfully refine a single pill.

That's the gap!
