Five Elements Sacred Secret

Mu Xiaofeng naturally didn't know what the Chamber of Commerce was doing. He thought that if the Chamber of Commerce came to cause trouble, he would go to Jing Cheng for help. However, according to his estimation, he had already made it clear that he would only stay for a month. If the Chamber of Commerce still came to cause trouble for him, then Jing Cheng, the city lord, would have no prestige at all.

Mu Xiaofeng didn't spend much time collecting the medicinal herbs.

I have already started researching the fifth-level spiritual herbs I collected. The difficulty of making fifth-level elixirs is not great. In Mu Xiaofeng's opinion, alchemy only becomes difficult at the ninth level. Ninth-level elixirs are no longer limited to the properties of the medicinal materials, but the spirituality contained in the medicinal materials, which can also be said to be the rules.

The reason why Mu Xiaofeng had to collect three batches of materials for refining the fifth-grade elixir was to prevent himself from failing.

Mu Xiaofeng has now gradually gotten rid of the alchemy furnace, and his ability to refine pills with his spiritual consciousness has become more and more proficient. Mu Xiaofeng feels that his alchemy has taken a different path. But judging from the effect, the effect of the pill is much better, so Mu Xiaofeng did not correct anything.

At the beginning of refining, Mu Xiaofeng failed more than ten times. But every time, Mu Xiaofeng was able to find the reason and correct it. After failing more than ten times, Mu Xiaofeng refined the first batch of fifth-grade pills. Although it was only a top-grade pill, he was not afraid because he had a start.

In this way, Mu Xiaofeng not only earned spirit stones, but also improved his alchemy skills.

It took less than half a month for Mu Xiaofeng's business to decline. After all, there were only a small number of fifth-grade medicinal herbs, and they could be refined almost all in half a month.

A few days later, Mu Xiaofeng spread the news that anyone with a furnace of spiritual herbs could also refine the fifth-level elixir, but the reward would be tripled. Mu Xiaofeng did not mention using spiritual stones to buy the elixir directly, as this would affect the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, which would be detrimental to Mu Xiaofeng's low-key development.

A month passed, and Mu Xiaofeng delivered the last furnace of pills. He put away his things and said to everyone: "Fellow Daoists, this refining session ends here. Those who have not refined yet can only wait for the next time." As for whether there will be a next time, Mu Xiaofeng didn't know, but it was most likely that there wouldn't be, but he couldn't be too direct.

After the refining was completed, Mu Xiaofeng prepared to leave Jingxing City. The purpose of inquiring for information had been achieved, and he also gained a lot this time.

Mu Xiaofeng roughly estimated that the spiritual stones alone were about 10 million. This was mainly due to the high value of the fifth-level elixir, which basically required tens of thousands of spiritual stones each. The market price of a bottle of three elixirs was 20,000 to 30,000. He received the price of two elixirs, but was given five elixirs. Even so, Mu Xiaofeng could earn 20,000 spiritual stones for one furnace of elixirs.

After all, he didn't have to provide the materials for alchemy, so he was doing a business without any capital investment. The pills he made were basically a complete furnace of twelve pills. In this way, Mu Xiaofeng could earn five furnaces of materials plus 40,000 spirit stones by using only the materials for one furnace of pills.

Mu Xiaofeng sighed that alchemy was really profitable, but he also felt like an unscrupulous businessman. However, when he thought that the Chamber of Commerce made more money, Mu Xiaofeng no longer felt guilty.

But there are problems with this conversion. After all, not every alchemist can make a perfect pill. Generally, a perfect pill of 60% is acceptable. However, a perfect pill is a result of one's own ability. It is also profitable for the buyer. It is equivalent to buying five pills with the price of two pills. If the cost of the spiritual herbs is sold, it can only be exchanged for one pill at most, so it is still profitable in the end. Besides, the quality of the pills made by Mu Xiaofeng is absolutely first-class. Pills of this quality will be sold at a higher price in the Chamber of Commerce. So in the end, although Mu Xiaofeng made money, the cultivators did not lose money either. It is a win-win situation.

Mu Xiaofeng gave Li Cang another 100,000 spirit stones and some elixirs that could be used in the Qi Hai realm.

Before leaving, Mu Xiaofeng went to say goodbye to Jing Cheng again.

Mu Xiaofeng took Li Cang with him when he left the city.

"Li Cang, do you want to come with me first and I'll find a place to drop you off?" The purpose of doing this is very simple, that is, Li Cang now has a lot of things and is not very safe in Jingxing City.

"Master Feng Dan, I want to go with you." Li Cang hesitated for a long time before uttering a word.

"Li Cang, everyone's path is different. There is nothing good about you following me. My path is not easy." Mu Xiaofeng understood what Li Cang meant.

"Master Feng Dan, I'm not afraid. I just want to follow you." Li Cang heard Mu Xiaofeng's words and said loudly, his face flushed.

"Li Cang, you should have your own path. I can't take you with me. The reason is very simple. I don't even know how powerful my current enemy is." Mu Xiaofeng refused firmly. He couldn't take Li Cang with him. It would be very irresponsible to Li Cang. He couldn't even show his true face to others now, so how could he lead others to do better?

“Master Fengdan, I’m not afraid of death, I’m just afraid of living like this for the rest of my life. You don’t know how hard my life was before. I was a casual cultivator with no resources for cultivation, no elixirs, and no powerful sect. I was like a floating duckweed. If I hadn’t been in Jingxing City, I might have been trampled to death long ago.” Li Cang’s face turned red with excitement, and he almost shouted in tears.

"Li Cang, I understand you, but I really can't take you with me." Mu Xiaofeng didn't say much. He could only express his understanding. There was nothing he could do. He himself had no ability to take a foundation-building cultivator with him.

"Master Feng Dan, is it really impossible?" Li Cang wanted to make a final effort.

"Li Cang, you have to walk your own path. To become a strong man, you don't have to rely on someone, but you have to have a strong heart. Following me won't make you a strong man." Mu Xiaofeng felt like an old man who became a person like Jing Cheng, supporting the younger generation.

"The heart of a strong man?" Li Cang murmured in a low voice thoughtfully.

"Master Feng Dan, thank you. From now on, I will obey your orders without hesitation." Li Cang said after pondering for a while.

"I will walk my own path in the future. I will remember what you said today. Since Master Feng Dan is in trouble, let's say goodbye here. Just like Master Feng Dan said, you have to walk your own path." Li Cang said again

Mu Xiaofeng looked at the poor man in front of him and took out another 100,000 spirit stones.

"Li Cang, I don't have anything good to give you. Take these 100,000 spirit stones."

"No need, Master Feng Dan, you have already given me enough compensation. I can't take these spirit stones anymore." Li Cang said hurriedly.

"Just take it if I tell you to." Mu Xiaofeng forced it to Li Cang.

When Li Cang collected the spirit stones and was about to leave, his spiritual sense discovered that several people were following him.

"Follow me first." Mu Xiaofeng said, and then pulled Li Cang onto his spaceship without saying anything.
