Chapter 1641 Everything’s Going Well
Zhang Han had visited all three thousand stars.
He visited ten planets a day on average. Even so, it took Zhang Han nearly a year to get a clear understanding of each spiritual herb base.
At the same time, he got the gains for the first year.
A large number of spiritual herbs, crystal stones, and other resources filled the Space Rings. Even Mengmeng’s Space Ring was full. The resources also filled three treasure vaults.
In the past, these resources would be sent to the headquarters of the Highest Clouds Palace. But now, that was no longer needed. They all belonged to Zhang Han.
As for the Golden-armored Giant Beast, Zhang Han would experience it every month.
His powerful duplication crossed layers of space.
He could sense the situation over there with wonderful treatment.
Immortal Master Waterheaven personally led people to build a palace for the Golden-armored Giant Beast, which was magnificent and made of rare metal.
The palace was seven thousand meters tall.
It was very mighty with thousands of formations.
The levitating formations were set up by Immortal Master Waterheaven to prevent the Golden-armored Giant Beast from being hungry and eating the palace so that it would not be crushed by the collapse of the palace.
The palace’s metal alone cost quite a bit. The Highest Clouds Palace’s rare metals had almost been used up.
The treasure houses on the side were also full of all kinds of metals. Hundreds of people served the Golden-armored Giant Beast 24 hours a day.
The bed was hundreds of meters long and soft. It was made of rare silk.
There was even a spirit spring. The spring water was something expensive.
It was extremely luxurious.
In the Highest Clouds Palace, Immortal Master Waterheaven had more than 600 concubines, and none of them could be compared with the Golden-armored Giant Beast. The treatment they got was far inferior to that of the beast.
That made those imperial concubines secretly jealous.
“What’s so good about an ancient demonic beast?”
“Watch your mouth! Watch your mouth!” The subordinate was so scared that his face turned pale. “Not long ago, Concubine Li said that in front of the Palace Master and got banished. Palace Master loves the Star Demon Dragon King the most now and favors no one else…”
Hiss!
The concubines all gasped.
“That’s unbelievable!”
Even Zhang Han thought so.
He felt a little ashamed in his heart.
“I didn’t expect Immortal Master Waterheaven to be so kind to the Golden-armored Giant Beast. Alas, no matter how well he treats it, it’s useless.
“I’ll get him an ancient demonic beast when I can.”
Zhang Han thought to himself.
It was conceivable that Immortal Master Waterheaven had done a good job to make Zhang Han think so.
Of course, he didn’t know that what he got was a fake Star Demon Dragon King.
“We’ll stay on the Wolf Fang Star in the next few years.”
After patrolling around, Zhang Han and the others returned to the Wolf Fang Star. He said, “If you have time, take a look around this area. There are many interesting places.”
“Okay. We’ll go wherever you go,” Mengmeng said indifferently.
In their current life, they didn’t feel any horror after coming to the Star Sea. They felt that there was nothing special about it and didn’t have any particular feelings besides the worry about Zhang Guangyou and the others, who had been taken away by Immortal Master Lingxi.
They had a relaxing time.
“There are a lot of spiritual herbs.”
Zhang Han said, “We’ll take some once a year and then start pellet refining to assist in cultivation.”
He turned to look at the guards on the side who had been following him.
Among them, the ninth-level and eighth-tier Immortal Masters were very respectful to Zhang Han and his companions and loyal to them without any ill intention.
This also showed the power of Immortal Master Waterheaven.
“Immortal Master Lanfeng, go into the major areas near your territory. If there is any treasure land, inform me. If you have nothing else to do, you can do your own business or cultivate,” Zhang Han said.
“Yes, Your Excellency! I’ll make the arrangements right away.” Immortal Master Lanfeng, who was slightly fat, cupped his hands and said, “If you need anything, you can contact me as soon as possible.”
“Okay.”
After Zhang Han instructed the Immortal Masters, the aircraft arrived in a brand new manor.
This manor was built according to the idea of Zhang Han. It was not bad in size. Compared with other buildings, it might be smaller, but it was also ten times larger than Mount New Moon.
Zhang Han and the others would stay in this building area.
Zhang Han added, “I don’t need anyone in the manor without my permission.”
“Yes, Your Excellency!”
Immortal Master Lanfeng didn’t ask why and directly ordered some servants in the manor to leave.
“Move all the spiritual herbs in the first treasure house here,” Zhang Han said.
“Yes, Your Excellency!”
A few hours later, the sky gradually darkened.
Zhang Han had finished what he had to do.
The spiritual herbs piled up into a hill.
Zhang Han said, “This is enough for us to do pellet refining for some time.
“From tomorrow on, Mengmeng, Yue Xiaonao, and Chen Chuan, you will also refine pellets together.”
“What? I don’t know how to do it. Uncle Zhang, I don’t want to refine pellets. I just want to sleep in bed,” Yue Xiaonao retorted.
“How old are you? Why are you still so playful? It’s time for you to learn this. It’s not easy for your uncle to find time to teach you. How can you not cherish the opportunity?” Yue Wuwei said.
“Then you can learn it. Anyway, I’m not interested,” Yue Xiaonao said indifferently.
“Yue Xiaonao!” Lisa looked at Yue Xiaonao sternly.
Yue Xiaonao felt dispirited.
She was not afraid of Yue Wuwei but Lisa.
“Work hard on your pellet-refining skills. If you perform well, I’ll reward you with something good,” Yue Wuwei said with a smile.
“Okay.” Yue Xiaonao pursed her lips and didn’t say anything more.
“We’ll do it for fun. Even if the furnace explodes, it will be okay. There are so many spiritual herbs here,” Mengmeng muttered.
“Will it be a waste if the furnace explodes?” Chen Chuan scratched his head.
“It won’t matter even if the herbs are wasted.”
While talking about this topic, Zhang Han smiled and said, “Every pellet-refining master will experience this kind of waste that you understand. This is a learning process. Later, when your success rate of pellet refining increases, the value will make up for the waste. It’s just like an investment. You can invest 50,000 in the early stage and earn it back soon. Do you get it?”
“Got it, Uncle Zhang.” Chen Chuan nodded obediently.
“You will do pellet refining half a day every day. You still have to cultivate. Of course, you get to rest often and play,” Zhang Han said.
Only then did Yue Xiaonao show a satisfied expression. “That’s more like it. We have to balance work and rest together.”
Hearing this, Yue Wuwei said grumpily, “You do know how to rest.”
Zhang Han was not worried about cultivation.
In terms of cultivation, the Golden-armored Giant Beast was rapidly improving its strength.
According to the speed at which Immortal Master Waterheaven fed it with metal, it would break through to the sixth tier of the Tribulation Stage in two years.
By then, Zhang Han’s other duplications would also make a breakthrough at the same time.
Of course, the Cosmic Extreme Tao Figure, the Great Demon Body, and the Thunder Body could not lag behind.
The duplications would only resonate with each other when Zhang Han’s total energy reached a certain level. In other words, if his other duplications were too weak, they would delay the advancement of the Golden-armored Giant Beast.
To make a breakthrough, the Golden-armored Giant Beast needed the other duplications to be strong enough. Otherwise, it would be useless for the Golden-armored Giant Beast to absorb the metal. The energy it got would overflow.
“The first medicinal pellet we will refine is a fifth-tier one. The starting point is relatively low. But it’s a special kind of medicinal pellet called the Soul-guiding Pellet.”
That night, after having dinner made by Zhang Han, the crowd rested. The next morning, Zhang Han began to teach.
“With Mengmeng’s understanding of the Dao of plants and vegetation, it should be very easy for her to master it. Reviewing the past helps one to understand the present. You can start with the fifth-tier medicinal pellet. The pellet formula is as follows. Keep the control of time and heat in mind.”
They began to refine the pellet.
Mengmeng showed her skills at her first attempt, which was a direct success.
For a beginner, the success rate of this kind of medicinal pellet was about 1%, which was not simple.
While refining this kind of pellet, their mastery of the pellet-refining process and their talents could be shown.
As a result, Yue Xiaonao succeeded on the 60th try, and Chen Chuan succeeded on the 80th try.
This process alone took a whole day.
Under the moonlight, looking at the bright moon, Yue Xiaonao and Chen Chuan also felt a sense of achievement after success.
“Sister Mengmeng, you’re amazing. You succeeded on your first try.” Chen Chuan scratched his head.
“What I did is just average. It’s just that you’re too stupid. You only succeed once in 80 attempts,” Mengmeng said. “The pellet formula is so detailed.”
“Alas!”
Chen Chuan was mentally exhausted and felt quite frustrated.
Zhang Han couldn’t help laughing.
Mengmeng had the Profound Underworld Holy Fire, so she could master refining pellets. She could refine seventh-tier medicinal pellets, but now, she was refining a fifth-tier one.
Chen Chuan was still too young.
“The pellet refining will take half a day tomorrow.”
Zhang Han said, “There are 39 kinds of spiritual herbs in total for refining the Soul-guiding Pellet. I’ll teach you the basic knowledge of these spiritual herbs tomorrow.”
He was instructing the Dao of plants and vegetation to the beginners through the way of refining every medicinal pellet, which was also a way to teach pellet refining.
The next day, the crowd began to cultivate in this way.
In the morning, they studied the Dao of plants and vegetation. At noon, they practiced pellet refining for two hours and used three furnaces. In the afternoon, they cultivated. They took a break in the evening.
They would go on a trip every month to taste the local specialty tea, wine, and delicacies.
They lived a comfortable and carefree life.
Mengmeng, Chen Chuan, Yue Xiaonao, even Yue Wuwei and Lisa, and even Zi Yan, had learned a lot about pellet refining.
Mengmeng had made the fastest progress.
Everyone was advancing.
Three years passed in a flash.
They had stayed on the Wolf Fang Star for a long time.
“A treasure land has appeared in the Linlang District?” Zhang Han raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Yes.”
Immortal Master Lanfeng said seriously, “It’s a ninth-tier treasure land, which is located in a secret realm. The secret realm has only been open for a year. Rare gems are often discovered in it. In addition, the news of the treasure land has spread out. Many Immortal Masters have set off for it. It’s called Wood Dragon Treasure Land. It’s suspected to be the place where the Wood Dragon died and is full of essential energy. It’s said that there are 100 peaks in the treasure land, which can only accommodate 100 people to cultivate. It’s a place where top experts fight. Your Excellency, if you want to go, we have to hurry up. Since the Highest Clouds Palace has great prestige, we can occupy a peak and have a place to cultivate.”
“Okay.”
Zhang Han nodded slightly.
“Let’s go.”
Mengmeng cheered. She also wanted to go out and have fun.
The crowd went out happily.
On the other side.
On the Seventh Mountain of the Nine Mountains Region in the center of the Star Sea.
“What did you say?”
The face of Immortal Master Waterheaven darkened slightly, “The rare metals in the treasure house are used up? So soon?”
“Palace Master, they’ve been used up. That, that Star Demon Dragon King eats too much,” an old subordinate said with a wry smile. “In the past three years, on average, it can absorb more than 50 tons of ninth-tier rare metals a day. It has consumed more than 50,000 tons of metals we stored.”
“I can’t believe that we’ve run out of them.”
Immortal Master Waterheaven frowned slightly and said, “We can’t starve Lil Beast. Feed it with the eighth-tier metal first.”
“Yes, Palace Master!”
“In addition, pass down the order immediately. All the branch halls of the Highest Clouds Palace need to turn in all the rare metals above the seventh tier in their treasure houses. All the protectors and other members of the Highest Clouds Palace can use their rare metals to exchange for points twice as much,” Immortal Master Waterheaven said.
“Yes! I’ll inform them immediately.”
“Get it done as soon as possible!”
Immortal Master Waterheaven pointed at the old man’s chest. “You can’t even do such a small thing well. How many times have I told you? We can never ever be short of metal in the treasure house!”
