Chapter 271: Getting Emotional
The Divine Dynasty was just founded and there was a lot of work to be done. Chen Jiu was so busy these days that he felt a little dizzy.
At noon that day, he finally came to the hall under Linlang Peak to eat something and take a break. Yu Dayou couldn't help but said carefully: "Master, many generals of the eight camps are a little unhappy these days."
ah?
"Unhappy" should be a euphemism. Many generals should be in a bad mood. This is not acceptable. If all the generals are in a bad mood, then the eight camps will become a mess.
Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask solemnly: "What's going on? Why are they unhappy?"
Yu Dayou said helplessly, "Because those earthly immortals of the gold and fire elements can earn immortal pills, and the more they earn, the more they earn. They can't earn anything, so naturally they are unhappy."
Well, this was indeed overlooked.
Most of the time, people are not worried about the scarcity of elixirs but the inequality of distribution. When no one can earn elixirs, naturally there will be no moodiness. Some earthly immortals can earn elixirs, but most of them cannot. Naturally, everyone will be upset. Elixirs are not ordinary things.
Chen Jiu frowned and pondered for a while after hearing this, then asked, "If they want to earn the elixir, they must have a way to earn it. I can't just give it to them for free. If I give it to them for free, those earthly immortals who work so hard to mine and refine gold, silver, copper and iron essences will be unhappy. Why should they get it for free while these people have to work so hard?"
Yu Dayou nodded slightly and said, "They did come up with a lot of ideas, but I don't think they are all very good."
What's good or bad about this? It's a good thing to be able to earn elixirs.
Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "Tell me, I will see if it works."
Yu Dayou hurriedly explained: "Those who practice wood-based skills want to learn how to refine immortal pills, those who practice earth-based skills want to learn how to refine immortal tools to earn immortal pills, those who practice water-based skills want to learn how to make clouds and rain to earn immortal pills, and those who practice Qi and blood want to help others move supplies in the various divine kingdoms to earn immortal pills."
Well, these ideas are not very good, but they are not impossible.
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully, then nodded slightly and said: "Okay, no problem, as long as they want, we will find a way to help them realize it."
Is this possible?
Upon hearing this, Yu Dayou was stunned.
Patriarch Hongyun couldn't help but sighed slightly, "Ajiu, they are generals after all. Even if they don't lead troops to fight, they still have to practice hard to improve their cultivation, or train well to improve the combat effectiveness of their subordinates. It's not good for them to run around to earn elixirs all day long, right?"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "How can cultivation be faster than taking the elixir directly? If they don't take the elixir, it will take at least several hundred years to become gods. If they take an elixir every day, it will be faster, maybe they can become gods in a few years."
Yunxiao Tianzun was puzzled and said: "That does make sense, but the question is, where do they get so many elixirs?"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "This is very simple. Teach them how to refine immortal pills and immortal tools, and let them earn money. Now those earthly immortals who refine gold essence, silver essence, copper essence and iron essence are earning more and more. It is possible for them to eat a bottle of immortal pill every day in the future."
Yunxiao Tianzun was still puzzled and asked: "Since they all know how to refine elixirs, why do they still need to make money? Can't they just refine it and eat it themselves?"
Well, this is indeed a problem. Before teaching them how to refine the elixir, we have to make it clear that they can keep two pills for themselves after refining each batch, and the rest must be handed over to other earthly immortals or even great spiritual officials.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Well, this is a good reminder. I have to set some rules for them."
Yunxiao Tianzun was puzzled and said, "Ah? What kind of reminder is that? What did I remind you of?"
This little fairy is so naive.
Chen Jiu smiled slightly, and then said to Yunxia Beast: "Xiaoyun, those earth immortals who practice water-related skills are handed over to you. You should teach them how to control the clouds and rain, and then let each of them be responsible for a kingdom of God. You can't just water the crops, you also have to water the immortal herbs and spiritual medicines regularly. I think some of them are a little short of water.
You must check carefully to see how they are doing. If they are doing well, give each of them one elixir per day."
The Cloud Beast nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Master, I will go check on you every day."
Chen Jiu said to Sun Dasheng: "Great Sage, those demons and immortals who want to transport materials are now in your hands. You should ask the demons and immortals in charge of each kingdom to report to you every day what needs to be transported and collected.
You should let them transport the collected minerals, grains, meat, food, gold essence, silver essence, copper essence, iron essence, etc. between the various kingdoms of God. If they do a good job, each of them will get one elixir every day."
Sun Dasheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Master."
Chen Jiu said to Yu Dayou again: "Dayou, go and ask how many earthly immortals want to learn how to make pills and tools. When Lao Ding is free, I will let Lao Ding teach them."
When will the Honghuang Divine Cauldron be available?
If it were up to Honghuang Divine Cauldron's own personality, he would have no time, he likes to refine things non-stop.
However, this time, just as he finished refining a piece of snake god skin soft armor, Chen Jiu decisively raised his hand and said, "Lao Ding, take a break first, I want to discuss something with you."
Honghuang Shending asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Chen Jiu explained in detail: "I have more than 30 earthly immortals who want to learn alchemy and artifact refining from you. Can you spare some time to teach them well? You don't have to teach too much, just teach them how to refine a few five-element immortal pills and a few immortal artifacts."
Honghuang Shending was puzzled and said, "Do you need to teach how to make immortal pills and immortal tools? Don't you have the alchemy and tool-making techniques left by the earth fairy Linlang? Let them take a good look at them and practice more, won't they be able to do it?"
Chen Jiu said helplessly: "It's not enough to learn this. The success rate is too low. Can you teach them your method of refining pills and tools in detail, or simply demonstrate it to them and let them follow your teachings. The success rate should be higher."
Honghuang Shending said without hesitation: "That's not a problem, but you have to prepare a divine alchemy furnace for them, and you also have to prepare a ground fire mouth for them, otherwise what can they use to make alchemy and refine weapons?"
Uh, I did forget this. They can't use the Great Desolation Divine Cauldron to refine. Each of them needs a divine furnace. As for the Earth Fire Mouth, it's easy. With the Great Desolation Divine Cauldron's ability, we can just make dozens of identical ones for them."
Chen Jiu nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, you continue to refine the magic pills. I will go and prepare and equip them with the magic pill furnaces. Let them learn the art of alchemy and refining, and then come back to ask you for advice."
After saying that, he flashed to the hall at the foot of Linlang Peak.
At this time, Yuyi Tianzun was full and was just waiting for him to bring the Snake God Skin Soft Armor so that he could set off to the God Realm to exchange things.
Chen Jiu pondered it carefully for a while, and then said solemnly: "Master Peng, let's change the exchange items this time. There are exchange items in the Divine Artifact Alchemy Furnace Market, right? How much is one immortal pill?"
Yuyi Tianzun said without hesitation: "Of course there are plenty of those things in the market. Ten bottles of immortal pills can be exchanged for a good one."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "Okay, bring me forty divine alchemy furnaces."
My God, you do forty at a time!
Yuyi Tianzun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, no problem, what else, what do you want to exchange for?"
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully again, and then slowly said: "We seem to be short of thirty sets of artifacts. This time, we will exchange for ninety sets of artifacts. The rest will be one hundred bottles of elixirs for strengthening blood and spirit, and sixty bottles of five elements elixirs."
Yuyi Tianzun said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go now."
After saying that, he directly put away the snake god skin soft armor and walked out.
Chen Jiu quickly arrived at a huge barracks in the outer city.
This is the place where delicious food is prepared. In the middle are rows of kitchens, and on both sides are halls where the food is distributed and where soldiers coming to Jiuling Mountain City have their meals.
He flashed directly into a lobby and said to the thirty or so Earth Immortals who were eating, "How is it? How does it taste?"
Everyone stood up and praised: "It tastes really good, much better than what the cooks in our barracks make. It's comparable to the taste of the big restaurants in Jinling City."
Of course, these are all made by women and children with fire spiritual roots who have learned fire-related skills and various cooking techniques. How can they not be delicious?
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and then said solemnly: "You can make alchemy and refine equipment if you want, but I have to explain the rules to you in advance. I can prepare the divine alchemy furnace and the earth fire cave for you, and I can also teach you the alchemy and refinement techniques, and I can also prepare the alchemy materials and refinement materials for you.
However, you cannot swallow all the elixirs you make. You can only keep three pills from each bottle. Moreover, if you waste a furnace, you will have to deduct one pill from the cost. If you refine two elixirs, you can only get one elixir. What do you think? If you think it is not possible, you don’t have to learn it. "
Sure, why not?
Everyone nodded and said, "Okay, okay, no problem."
That's it.
Chen Jiu immediately took out the jade slips of alchemy and refining techniques and said, "Look carefully at these two days. I will find a place with dense underground fire for you. The magic furnace will arrive in two days. You can take it to the underground fire to practice alchemy and refining techniques.
After nine days, I will let Honghuang Shending explain to you in detail the methods of refining several kinds of immortal pills and immortal tools. You must learn them well. Whether you can make a lot of money from immortal pills depends on how well you learn. "
Everyone nodded again and said, "Okay, okay, thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and then quickly came to the west of Jiuling Mountain City, to the row of towering mountains that were squeezed out by Xinyu and Yishan.
This place was formed by the compression of two pieces of land, so there must be a lot of underground fire.
Sure enough, he soon found a series of high mountains, and the underground fire below had gathered into a lake.
He threw a random punch, and the lava underneath slowly flowed out.
The pressure of this lava is just right. It won't spray out, and it is perfect for making medicine and refining equipment.
Then, he punched thirty or forty times along the mountain range and examined it carefully. At the same time, he also opened a small earth fire mouth for those earth immortals to practice.
Two days later, Yuyi Tianzun exchanged the divine artifact alchemy furnace back. As for the elixirs, Chen Jiu gave each of Yu Dayou and other eight disciples ten bottles of elixirs for strengthening qi and blood and soul, and ten bottles of five elements elixirs for each of them to practice. The rest were stored in the Yindu Divine Kingdom and were taken care of by Xu Yanran.
The next step was to train more than thirty earth immortals to make alchemy and refining tools. After distributing the magic furnace, he also gave each of them seven furnaces of alchemy materials and refining materials, and asked them to practice ordinary alchemy and refining techniques using the small earth fire mouth.
As a result, unexpectedly, these people actually refined elixirs and magical weapons. The least they had was a bottle of elixir and a magical weapon, while the most they refined were several furnaces of elixirs and several magical weapons!
These guys, stimulated by the elixir, were really serious about their work. Although their success rate in refining elixirs and weapons was not high at the beginning, things became different after they learned the method of refining the Primordial Divine Cauldron.
The next step was that the Honghuang Divine Cauldron opened a fire cave for them and taught them how to refine elixirs and magic weapons.
The method of refining the Honghuang Divine Cauldron is naturally different from that of other alchemists and weapon refiners. Other alchemists and weapon refiners stir-fry over low heat and take their time, but he stir-fryes over high heat and at a very fast speed.
There are strict requirements on the control of the temperature and the rotation speed of the furnace. The Honghuang Divine Cauldron can be as precise as a machine, but these earthly immortals seem to be unable to do so. They seem unable to master this method of refining with such a high fire.
What should I do?
There is actually a way to do this.
Chen Jiu simply let every earthly immortal who learned alchemy learn a method of refining elixirs, and every earthly immortal who learned refining tools learn a method of refining tools. In this way, with more practice, they will be able to master it slowly.
Of course, in the beginning he spent more money than he gained, so he could only barely break even.
However, as these earthly immortals gradually became proficient, they became extraordinary, with elixirs and magical weapons appearing in large numbers. An average person could only make one furnace of elixirs in a day at best, and the same was almost the same for magical weapons.
The Honghuang Divine Cauldron can be made ten or twelve times a day!
Although these earthly immortals are not as powerful as the Honghuang Divine Cauldron, it is still about the same to refine five furnaces a day. Even if the success rate is only 60%, an earthly immortal can still refine three furnaces of elixirs a day. The success rate of immortal weapons is even higher, so basically four a day is no problem.
By this calculation, he could harvest thirty or forty bottles of elixirs a day!
