543. Be Prepared for Danger in Times of Peace, Open Up New Sources of Income!

North Sea.

Yuan Gui City.

Lu Qingfeng played with the 'Eight Desolations Profound Fire Mirror', feeling delighted.

"It's only missing a wisp of Pure Yang to become Immortal Artifact, a truly rare treasure." Lu Qingfeng poured in his Law Power, breaking all the imprints left by Chao Jue, refining it while examining it closely.

After a while.

He then gripped the Eight Desolations Profound Fire Mirror and fell into deep thought.

"Behind Chao Jue is the Flame God Palace. I wonder what its background is, and how it compares to the One-Line Heaven-Piercing Gorge behind Han Ling'er."

"And there's also Chilian Mountain, the Black Dragon True Lord."

"His title is 'True Lord,' so he must be Earth Immortal."

Lu Qingfeng pondered to himself.

Chao Jue and the Three-Eyed Divine Hound were clearly up to no good, with Chao Jue being particularly murderous. Lu Qingfeng didn't regret killing them; he only felt a sense of satisfaction in eliminating his enemies. However, he couldn't ignore the reactions of the powerful forces and individuals behind them after killing them.

"The Spirit Domain is vast."

"I stayed in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, which was much safer, but I was completely clueless about the Spirit Domain."

Lu Qingfeng, being far from Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, had no idea about the Flame God Palace or Chilian Mountain's true nature. Trying to figure it out now would be a waste of time. For a moment, the thought of going to the Spirit Domain also crossed his mind.

However, once they go to the Spirit Domain, if their identity is exposed by mistake, they will not be facing a Primordial Spirit cultivator like Chao Jue, but True Immortal like Xun Zhenbei, or even Earth Immortal like the Black Dragon True Lord.

It is undoubtedly more dangerous.

"Unstable."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

It's a pity.

His cultivation level is still low. Although the Great Divine Ability of External Incarnation an avatar is powerful, it is limited by his cultivation level. First, his soul can only bear a limited number of avatars. Second, they are separated by endless void between two realms and cannot communicate.

Sending a clone to the Spirit Domain first is unrealistic, at least before advancing to True Immortal. And once he becomes a True Immortal, even the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers can no longer hide him.

"This plan will not work."

"Instead of causing trouble, it's better to rebuild Yuan Gui City first. And then there's the clone—"

The Battle City is powerful.

Those who obtain this skill Mahayana True Immortal can elevate their strength by one, two, or even three realms. Some powerful True Immortal, when combined with a strong Battle City, can even contend with Earth Immortal True Lord.

With Lu Qingfeng's mastery of array formations and the 'strengthening' method, the rebuilt Yuan Gui City will surely be one of the best among Battle City.

As for clones.

"The Azurewood King Cauldron's clone is still at the Primordial Spirit level, used only for alchemy and weapon crafting. Limited by the attributes of the Law Artifact, it has little combat power. Forcibly raising it to the True Immortal level is not worthwhile."

"So."

Lu Qingfeng looked at the Eight Desolations Profound Fire Mirror in his hand, "First, refine this Quasi-Immortal Artifact to forge a second clone. With the potential of Quasi-Immortal Artifact, as long as there are enough Spirit Stone and Immortal Crystal, reaching the True Immortal level is not a problem. In the future Eight Desolations Profound Fire Mirror Immortal Artifact, there is even a possibility of advancing to the Earth Immortal."

Moreover, the Eight Desolations Profound Fire Mirror is originally an offensive magical Law Artifact.

After refining his avatar, he gained control of the Eight Desolations Profound Flame, which contained the Eight Desolations Fire Crows, and could set up the Eight Desolations Profound Flame Formation. His strength was even three points greater than that of cultivators of the same level.

It is far superior to the Azurewood King Cauldron.

"However, cultivating an avatar to the level of True Immortal is no easier than repairing a Battle City."

Lu Qingfeng looked up at the sky, "It seems that relying solely on the Clearbright Spirit Water as a source of income is still somewhat inadequate."

He looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, he reached out and slashed through the air, causing it to split open and reveal a space. Inside, various claws, mouthparts, bones, and monster bodies were scattered about. In the corners, there were mountains of Spirit Stone, Spirit Pearl, spirit shells, bottles of pills, Law Artifact, and countless rare treasures.

It was Chao Jue's Mustard Seed Space.

Lu Qingfeng had a sudden thought.

The five ghosts appeared and disappeared into this Mustard Seed Space, emptying it in the blink of an eye.

"They're here."

Before Lu Qingfeng could examine them closely, he quickly put away the five ghosts and stood up to greet them.

Yuan Gui City.

Han Ling'er finally arrived.

"Do you know how much trouble you've caused this time?!"

Han Ling'er strode into Yuan Gui City and looked at Lu Qingfeng, whose face was calm and showed no sign of panic, and angrily questioned him.

"..."

Lu Qingfeng toyed with the Eight Desolations Profound Fire Mirror in his hand, continuously refining it. Hearing Han Ling'er's words, a half-smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Han Ling'er and said, "Fairy Han, don't frighten me. That person was brought here by Xun Zhenbei, clearly intending to harm me. If I don't kill him, am I supposed to keep him around to cause trouble?"

One should not harbor thoughts of harming others.

Those who harm me should not be allowed to live.

Seeing Han Ling'er's face flushed with anger, Lu Qingfeng knew why she was acting this way, so he went straight to the point, "I will remember the kindness of Fairy Han in stopping Xun Zhenbei, so there's no need for that—"

"Snort!"

"And not just this time."

"Three months ago, Xun Zhenbei begged Han Ling City to let me find out your whereabouts, and even offered a reward of one hundred Immortal Crystal. Considering our friendship, I refused on the spot."

"Therefore, this time he came back with a vengeance, without telling me, and secretly sent Chao Jue of the Flame God Palace and the Three-Eyed Divine Hound into the Mountain-Water Realm."

Han Ling'er is not the kind of person who does good deeds anonymously.

He first told her about what happened three months ago, and then distanced himself from Chao Jue and the Three-Eyed Divine Hound who had infiltrated the Mountain-Water Realm.

En stayed.

Don't complain.

"One hundred Immortal Crystal?"

Lu Qingfeng glanced at Han Ling'er, not bothering to verify the truth of her words, and laughed, "This humble Daoist and Fairy Han are now on very good terms. We share wealth and hardship—"

"When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their own lives!"

Han Ling'er interrupted Lu Qingfeng, scoffing, "First, you destroyed Mount Zhouyou's lineage in the Mountain-Water Realm, offending Mount Zhouyou and Xun Zhenbei. Now you've killed the Flame God Palace's Fire Crow Divine Son and Chilian Mountain's Three-Eyed Divine Hound, offending the Flame God Palace and Black Dragon True Lord. You've made enemies everywhere. I'll help you with whatever small favors I can, but don't expect anything else from me."

Chilian Mountain.

Flame God Palace.

Mount Zhouyou.

Even the Vermilion-Glow Mountain behind Mount Zhouyou.

With these forces combined, even the fearless Han Ling'er found it quite troublesome. As for Chilian Mountain, the Black Dragon True Lord, he was alright; although he had a considerable reputation, he was still far inferior to her other teachers.

However, the Flame God Palace and Vermilion-Glow Mountain are not to be trifled with.

The Flame God Palace is a powerful force, with many Earth Immortal True Lord. There are even rumors that the Fire God Patriarch has already broken through to the Earth Immortal realm and reached an incredible level.

He searched the entire Nine Nether Domain and found no equal.

As for Vermilion-Glow Mountain...

Danxia Zi of Vermilion-Glow Mountain possesses exceptional Dao of Alchemy skills and is backed by the Sixcraft Pavilion, a branch of the "Myriad Arts Heaven-Paying Palace" lineage within the Myriad Arts Way. If provoked, given his connections as Dao of Alchemy master and the power of the Sixcraft Pavilion, he is not someone anyone can easily withstand.

"That's quite a background."

Lu Qingfeng listened to the information that Han Ling'er seemed to reveal intentionally or unintentionally, smiled, and said nonchalantly, "But I stay in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, so whether they are Mahayana True Immortal or Earth Immortal Ancestors, it's all in vain."

After learning about the power of the Flame God Palace, Vermilion-Glow Mountain, and even the Black Dragon True Lord of Chilian Mountain, Lu Qingfeng became even more determined not to ascend in the short term.

"Unless you don't advance to the True Immortal, you will eventually have to leave the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers."

Han Ling'er retorted, glancing at Lu Qingfeng who was playing with Quasi-Immortal Artifact, "I do hope you can stay in the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers for a while longer, otherwise when you go to the Spirit Domain and are besieged by a group of True Immortal and even Earth Immortal, the business of Clearbright Spirit Water will not be able to continue."

Lu Qingfeng remained noncommittal, then asked, "How long will it take for my materials to arrive?"

Seeing this, Han Ling'er felt a bit bored and said indifferently, "The Nine Nether Domain and the Mountain and Mountain-Water Realm are far apart, and it's not easy to purchase the materials you need. It will take at least three to five years, and at most ten years. If you're really in a hurry, you might as well refine more Clearbright Spirit Water and trade with me. That way, you'll be able to obtain the materials you want in a steady stream in ten years at most. If you wait for the materials to arrive before trading a second time, the second batch of materials will have to wait many more years."

Although Han Ling'er had her own ulterior motives in saying this, it was indeed the truth for Lu Qingfeng.

"Okay then."

"The Clearbright Spirit Water once a year."

The Azurewood King Cauldron's clone spends all day refining Clearbright Spirit Water, enough for one transaction in a year.

"Good!"

Han Ling'er finally showed a slight smile.

The more frequent her transactions, the more she can earn, which is a good thing.

"Besides the Clearbright Spirit Water dynasties, I have another way to make money. I wonder if the fairy would be interested?"

Seeing that Han Ling'er was about to leave, Lu Qingfeng said something.

"Oh?"

Tell me about it.

Han Ling'er's eyes lit up immediately. These days, there's no reason she wouldn't be interested in any business that makes money.

One hour later.

Han Ling'er left with a radiant face.

Yuan Gui City.

Lu Qingfeng returned to the city lord's mansion, pondering in his heart, "Breath-Restoring Pill -seven Essence-Nourishing Pill Grain Avoidance Pill, Yellow Dragon Pill Clear Spirit Powder, Breath-Nurturing Pill Essence-Qi Pellet, Golden Marrow Pill, Yangjing Pill, Qi-Circulating Powder, Qi-Harmonizing Pill, Mind-Clearing Pill Qi-Restoring Pill, Sacred Yang Pill, Qi-Coalescing Pill, Qi-Gathering Pill, Kindling Flame Pill, Juqi Pill, Xinhuo Pill, and Spirit-Nourishing Pill, the profit will be two to three times."

Given the current situation of Dutian Gate, it is not difficult to maintain a balance of income and expenditure by training a large number of Pill-Refining Apprentice and Alchemist in the early stage. However, to make a profit, it will have to wait several years or even more than ten years after the first batch of Pill-Refining Apprentice have mastered the refining of at least one basic pill.

Wait twenty or thirty years, or even a hundred years.

Tens of thousands of Pill-Refining Apprentice and low-level Alchemist can refine massive amounts of basic pills every day, generating huge profits for me. In a hundred years or so, the revenue generated will be no less than that of the Clearbright Spirit Water.

In the Spirit Domain, the demand for basic elixirs is astonishing.

The large quantity of basic pills with enhanced formulas entering the market is but a drop in the ocean. Due to their superior quality, they will soon be snapped up by countless Postnatal who have reached the Acquired Realm.

It didn't even cause a ripple.

Lu Qingfeng and Han Ling'er, however, were able to make a fortune from it.

"However, that's not enough."

"I need to rebuild Yuan Gui City and refine True Immortal avatars, which will cost a fortune. The profits from Clearbright Spirit Water and basic pills are considerable, but that will be difficult to sustain."

Lu Qingfeng's mind flashed with Qingyu's image, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. "Qingyu is fond of wine. I have collected all kinds of fine wines and spirits in the world, and used 'Evolving Method - Analysis' to obtain the recipes. Then I used 'Evolving Method - Enhancement' to master the brewing recipes of 9,713 different wines."

In.

There are many recipes for immortal wines that use inexpensive ingredients yet taste excellent.

Brewing is inherently highly profitable.

Some of the formulas that Lu Qingfeng possessed were extremely profitable, comparable to, or even surpassing, the Clearbright Spirit Water.

This is the third path to wealth that Lu Qingfeng is preparing to open up!
