Chapter 2927: Chapter 52: Outbreak! A Huge Profit from Taoist Yuan Pill_2

Where did this comment come from?

Well, it’s probably because Senior Hongzhen has quite a prejudice against him.

”Please, Senior Hongzhen, enlighten me,” Wang Shouye asked honestly.

”The conditions for refining a 12th-grade Dao Pill are extremely harsh,” Taichu Taoist Master pondered and said, ”Firstly, it is best to have a Primordial Tao Dan Furnace, but even in the Immortal Alliance era, there were only two such furnaces. One belongs to the top-ranked powerful sect in the Immortal Alliance, the Wuji Daozong, of which our Primeval Lineage is a branch.”

”The second Primordial Tao Dan Furnace belongs to the famous Danmen. Danmen is a semi-loose, semi-powerful organization, with many peripheral members being alchemists from various sects. However, to study the core inheritance of Danmen, the Dandaoshu, and its derivative Sacred Images, one must be a core member of Danmen.”

”Does Senior Hongzhen have a Primordial Tao Dan Furnace?” Wang Shouye’s eyes lit up as he asked.

”No, if I had a Primordial Tao Dan Furnace, why would my pill formation rate be so low?” Taichu Taoist Master said helplessly, ”Though our Primeval Lineage descends from the Wuji Daozong, it’s not a Dao lineage specializing in alchemy. Moreover, at that time, the war was very intense, and during our defeat and escape, we were pursued by the Crystal Ancient Tribe, causing many important Tao lineages to be lost.”

”As for Danmen, it was located in the northeastern part of the Immortal Alliance, in the Wanling Realm. That area was one of the first to face attacks from the Crystal Ancient Tribe. As a major sect in the area, Danmen was the first to fall, and its core inheritance and the Primordial Tao Dan Furnace were lost at that time. It’s possible that the Danmen inheritance now lies in some Crystal Ancient Tribe ruins.”

”Senior Taichu, if there’s a chance, I’d like to visit Dao Palace and take a look at the ancient maps from the Immortal Alliance era,” Wang Shouzhe was quite interested in them.

”I can let you see the ancient Immortal Alliance maps,” Taichu Taoist Master nodded slightly and said seriously, ”However, due to the final destructive catastrophe of the Realm of Ruin and the long passage of time, the Tianhe in that region has likely changed its course, and the world’s positions have probably shifted. Those maps can only be used as a reference.”

”Thank you, Senior,” Wang Shouzhe said gratefully, ”It will be quite beneficial for a junior like me to review and admire the history and glory of the Immortal Alliance.”

”What use is glory? We were still rubbed in the dirt by the Crystal Ancient Tribe,” Taichu Taoist Master shook his head, reminiscing about that period with deep emotion, ”Who knows where the Crystal Ancient Tribe came from, being so tyrannical and mighty. Master Shouzhe, if you have the chance, ask Jing Feifei more questions. You never know what valuable information you might gather.”

”There’s no rush; we’ll wait until Feifei feels better,” Wang Shouzhe said earnestly, ”Besides, Feifei has a simple nature and is still quite young. Her early life’s limitations are significant, so she probably doesn’t know much about the secrets of the Crystal Ancient Tribe.”

”No matter how limited, she is still Crystal Five’s daughter,” Taichu Taoist Master said seriously, ”According to historical records, Crystal Five was the fifth-ranked leader of the Crystal Ancient Tribe, whose individual combat prowess was nearly equal to that of the Immortal Alliance Hierarch. The daughter of such a great figure, even if she knows some information unintentionally, it could be crucial.”

”Yes, Senior,” Wang Shouzhe nodded and replied politely, ”Under appropriate circumstances, I’ll have Bao Sheng talk to Feifei, but only on the premise of her willing participation and without causing her harm. We, the Wang family, would never bully any of our daughters-in-law.”

Taichu Taoist Master nodded, then changed the topic: ”As we mentioned earlier, refining 12th-grade Dao Pills is best done with a Primordial Tao Dan Furnace. But now that both Primordial Tao Dan Furnaces from the Immortal Alliance are lost, the four great divine continents can only use Sacred Pill Furnaces for pill refinement, leading to naturally lower pill formation rates.”

”Besides, the difficulty in refining 12th-grade Dao Pills is immense. It’s best to attempt it with Dao Master level strength; otherwise, it is too wasteful of the extremely precious materials. For example, in our Dao Palace, using 9th-grade Spirit Veins to cultivate the Void Dao Yuan Fruit, even with dedicated Sacred Supreme Spirit Plant Masters, it takes an average of five thousand years to gather enough materials.”

”Due to the seldom refinement opportunities, experience accumulation is inadequate, leading to naturally low pill formation rates. For instance, when I first became a Taoist Master, I ruined one furnace after another, and it was heart-breaking. Only later did it improve gradually.”

”A few years ago, I gathered two sets of materials and managed to form three pills in one go, which was my best achievement. If I could maintain two furnaces with three pills, I could rely on specializing in refining Tao Yuan Pills for profit. However, Void Dao Yuan Fruits can only normally grow and bear fruit within Spirit Caves, and are extremely rare. Relying on purchases to gather raw materials is quite difficult. During this trip to Southern Blaze Divine Continent with Master Shouzhe, I will also see if I can buy Void Dao Yuan Fruits.”

Taichu Taoist Master’s words clarified the difficulty of refining 12th-grade pills and highlighted the main reasons for such a low pill formation rate.

This is also why the price of 12th-grade Dao Pills suddenly becomes extraordinarily high.

If the success rate for refining 12th-grade Dao Pills could be improved, competition would naturally drive it down.

”Senior just mentioned using 9th-grade Spirit Veins to cultivate Tao Yuan Fruits? Aren’t Void Tao Yuan Fruits supposed to grow in Void Spirit Caves?” Wang Shouzhe frowned slightly, ”Moreover, Rank 9 Spirit Veins are extremely rare; in our Dongxia Divine Dynasty, only the Dao Palace, the Dongxia Royal Family, and the Eastern Peace God King Mansion have 9th-grade Spirit Veins.”

”Void Spirit Caves are indeed another name for Rank 9 Spirit Veins, but Shouzhe, it’s normal for you not to know,” Taichu Taoist Master explained, ”At this level, Spirit Veins typically exist in regions with extremely concentrated energy in the void, commonly referred to as ’Void Spirit Caves,’ where wild Tao Yuan Fruits or other 12th-grade Spirit Medicine might grow.”
