Wood-Fire Fusion!
Qin Xiangqian then delivered the account books one by one to the bigwigs of Vast Heaven Holy Land.
At this moment, all the big shots of Vast Heaven Holy Land were dumbfounded as they looked at the profits of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce in the ledger.
Everyone was just discussing the matter of the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, and everyone thought that the leak of the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill's formula would be a huge problem. But now, seeing this ledger, everyone realized...
This hand... seems like... I really hit the jackpot...
At this moment, Qin Xiangqian personally calculated the accounts for all the bigwigs of Vast Heaven Holy Land present.
If our Vast Heaven Holy Land were to sell the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, we couldn't possibly sell it at the black market price, could we?
After all, the outrageous price on the black market is because the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill is extremely rare now, and the price is so high because of its scarcity.
In the long run, once the number of "Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pills" produced increases significantly, the price of a single Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill could easily reach three to five million!
Qin Xiangqian stated that even if they could make a profit of three million from a single Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, in reality, only those big shots or old monsters would actually buy it!
However, this thing isn't a necessity. You see countless powerful figures across the Four Continents wanting to buy the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, but don't forget, each person can only use it once in their lifetime. In this case, even if every powerful figure buys one, how many resources can our Vast Heaven Holy Land actually earn?
There are quite a few big shots from the Four Continents, but there aren't that many of them either...
Once they get the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, it's not a consumable item. They can't just say they'll buy more after they've used it all, right...?
Therefore, if the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill were actually sold, the resources gained wouldn't be much in the end; in the units of measurement of our Vast Heaven Holy Land, it would be a pittance.
But things are different now...
After the method of refining the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill was leaked, almost all the alchemy masters in the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill obtained the method!
Don't be fooled by the failures of everyone involved. Among alchemists, there's a strong sense of rivalry and no one is willing to admit defeat. When Master Number Two heard that Master Number One had failed, he didn't stop. Instead, he thought that Master Number One was incompetent and that he, Master Number Two, could definitely handle it!
Even if everyone fails, you still can't stop skeptical people from trying!
If they want to try it, they must have various medicinal herbs.
The Heaven -Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill requires dozens of medicinal herbs, and even a master alchemist wouldn't typically possess too many of these herbs.
If you want to gather these high-grade medicinal herbs in the shortest amount of time, then Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce is definitely the first choice for everyone.
That's why Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce's medicinal herbs sold out like hotcakes!
Not only these high-grade medicinal herbs, but this Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill also used several rare medicinal herbs that can only be grown in the Vast Heaven Holy Land throughout the entire Four Continents!
These rare medicinal herbs can only be purchased from the Vast Heaven Holy Land, even by the most master alchemists!
Needless to say, the resources earned from these rare medicinal herbs are immense!
Qin Xiangqian stated that in the first few days after the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill was leaked, after various parties obtained the refining method, one reason was that they were unsure whether the refining method was reliable. Therefore, most of the alchemy masters who obtained the refining method secretly purchased small quantities of our medicinal materials through various channels to refine it privately.
After all, they were also worried that if the Vast Heaven Holy Land found out that they had obtained the refining technique, it might cause them trouble.
However, as time went on, the outside world learned more and more methods of refining the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses, and all these alchemists had the same idea!
If my family has mastered the technique for refining the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, then if the Vast Heaven Holy Land says I stole it, I really won't be able to explain myself.
But now that everyone has the technique to refine the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, the Vast Heaven Holy Land can't do anything to us, right?
With this in mind, these alchemists became completely unscrupulous, and they began frantically refining the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill!
However, to refine it, you must purchase the materials from the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce!
As a result, Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce's high-grade medicinal herbs are now completely sold out. Qin Xiangqian said that they can't possibly fulfill all their current orders no matter what they do!
Even in the last two days, almost every master alchemist has a copy of the recipe for the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill!
These alchemy masters were incredibly stubborn and defiant. Even though everyone else was failing, they always thought, "Why can't I be the next one to succeed?"
If I successfully refine the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, tell me, won't all my losses be recovered in one fell swoop?
Therefore, Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce of Commerce is selling more and more medicinal herbs...
If Vast Heaven Holy Land only sold the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, then at most they would only be making money off the big shots...
But now that the method for refining the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill has been leaked, good heavens, they're making money off all the alchemy masters in the world!
Don't be fooled by the small number of alchemy masters; they are all incredibly wealthy!
If you let those big shots consume millions of resources every day, they'd probably feel the pinch.
But these alchemy masters are different... they don't lack resources at all!
They are not alchemy masters at all; they are more like a group of gamblers, all betting that they can succeed in refining the medicine.
In this situation, these gamblers were buying medicinal herbs and researching them like crazy...
As to how their research was progressing, Qin Xiangqian stated that thanks to the support of these master alchemists, the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce not only achieved its sales target for this year ahead of schedule, but they had even surpassed next year's sales target...
Hearing Qin Xiangqian's report, all the bigwigs of the Vast Heaven Holy Land were stunned...
The leak of the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill's refining method not only failed to cause any losses to the Haotian Vast Heaven Holy Land, but actually allowed them to profit immensely from any conflict?
Just as everyone was completely bewildered, Mu Bai suddenly spoke up, "I understand... There's nothing wrong with the refining technique of this Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill -Changing Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, but the main reason it hasn't been successful so far isn't because of the refining technique, but because they're using the wrong ingredients!"
While everyone else was listening to Qin Xiangqian recount how the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce had made a fortune, only Mu Bai was constantly studying the refining techniques that Shen Chun had brought.
As an alchemist, Mu Bai, like other alchemists, was also very stubborn!
Mu Bai was also puzzled. There was nothing wrong with the refining technique; it was even more refined than he had mastered. Mu Bai's first thought was that perhaps Senior Brother Xinghe had leaked the refining technique for the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill?
After all, it seems that only Senior Brother Xinghe in the entire Four Continents could write such a detailed refining method, right?
But Mu Bai said that now was not the time to consider that issue. What Mu Bai wanted to know was why, even with the refining techniques in place, no one could successfully refine the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill.
According to Qin Xiangqian, the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce has already sold countless materials for the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill. Even if the alchemy masters outside are not skilled enough and have a higher failure rate, it's impossible for not a single one to succeed, right?
Qin Xiangqian even explicitly stated that the Witch Curse Evil Spirits had purchased countless materials.
Therefore, it's safe to say that the Witch Curse Evil Lord has made his move.
Although Mu Bai was confident, Mu Bai was not arrogant. Mu Bai did not think that he could crush the Witch Curse Evil Lord. So, logically speaking, even if the Witch Curse Evil Lord failed ten or eight times, he would definitely succeed eventually.
However, not a single "Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill" has appeared outside so far, which clearly shows that even the Witch Curse Evil Lord has failed!
But why did everyone fail despite using the same correct refining techniques?
Why were only myself and Senior Brother Xinghe successful?
Therefore, Mu Bai immediately gave it a deep thought: the methods were the same, the medicinal materials were the same, but why did we succeed while others failed?
After much thought, Mu Bai finally realized the key point!
"The Vermilion Bird Furnace! It's because of the Vermilion Bird Furnace!"
At this moment, Mu Bai finally discovered the main reason for the external failure!
"Elder, please take a look. This is the formula for the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill. These medicinal herbs seem to have no special connection with each other, but if you arrange them in order, Elder, please take a look!"
As Mu Bai spoke, he presented the neatly arranged medicinal herbs to the Grand Elder!
Upon seeing the arrangement of the medicinal herbs by Mu Bai, the Grand Elder, a master alchemist, instantly understood what was going on!
"Wood-Fire Fusion! Is this the Wood-Fire Fusion technique in alchemy?"
Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, Mu Bai exclaimed excitedly, "The Grand Elder is right! The main reason they've been unable to succeed with the Wood-Fire Fusion is because they're using the wrong alchemy furnace. This Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill not only requires a formula and refining techniques, but also a specific furnace. Without either, it simply cannot succeed!"
As Mu Bai spoke, the Grand Elder quickly nodded in agreement.
Many people think that refining elixirs is simply a matter of formulas and refining techniques.
Actually, this is incorrect. Some top-grade elixirs sometimes require not only medicinal materials and refining techniques, but also special alchemy furnaces.
The loss of some elixirs in history was not because the refining techniques were lost, nor because the medicinal materials could not be found, but because the furnaces used for refining them were destroyed!
The alchemy furnace is not just a simple tool to help medicinal materials take shape; from a certain special perspective, it also has a huge impact on the formation of the elixir.
Otherwise, why would so many alchemists spend their entire lives searching for a powerful alchemy furnace?
At this moment, Mu Bai's words were correct. When Mu Bai first refined the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, he only felt a kind of inexplicable power. In fact, it was not an inexplicable power, but the special power of the Vermilion Bird Furnace. It was because the special power of the Vermilion Bird Furnace affected the medicinal materials and refining techniques that he had that feeling!
At this moment, the Grand Elder remarked that Mu Bai was quite good, as he had even foreseen the impact of the Vermilion Bird Furnace.
As for the elder's praise, Mu Bai replied, "Elder, please don't praise me like that..."
This isn't thanks to me, Mu Bai; it's all thanks to Senior Brother Xinghe's top-notch understanding...
Senior Brother Xinghe already calculated everything when he was refining the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, so his understanding of alchemy has reached an unbelievable level!
