Chapter 347 No amount of elixirs is enough
Patriarch Qingmu is buying up endless divine pills, so refining the pills is easy. He just needs to keep adding alchemy furnaces and training god-level alchemists, and refine as many divine pills as possible.
Now they refine about 450,000 bottles of elixirs a month, and about 15,000 bottles a day. The elixirs they refine are just enough to meet the needs of cultivating earth immortals and true gods. It seems very good, but it is actually quite a loss.
Because they consumed only about 2.25 million immortal herbs and magical medicines to refine 450 furnaces of magic pills, the magic pills they refined were worth about 400,000 bottles of immortal pills, and the immortal herbs and magical medicines consumed to refine 450,000 bottles of immortal pills reached about 4.8 million plants.
In this way, the total amount of elixirs they harvested from refining elixirs in a month was actually only about 850,000 bottles, and the amount of immortal herbs and spiritual medicines consumed reached a terrifying number of about 7.05 million. Ma Ji had to arrange for the wood-type earth immortals to frantically search for and ripen immortal herbs and spiritual medicines in more than 60 divine kingdoms.
If the number of divine pills refined each month could be increased to 1,350 furnaces, based on a success rate of over 90%, that would be more than 1,200 bottles of divine pills, which translates to about 1.1 million bottles of immortal pills.
In this way, not only did they receive an additional 250,000 bottles of elixirs each month, but the consumption of magical herbs and medicines could also be reduced to around 6.75 million plants, and the pressure on them to search for and ripen the magical herbs and medicines was also much less.
Of course, this requires a long process, because they can only purchase twenty magic alchemy furnaces every month. If they want to increase the number of magic pills refined each month to 1,350 furnaces, it will take at least more than ten months, which cannot be rushed.
After Chen Jiu returned to Jiuling Mountain, he began his leisurely life of enlightening the earth immortals and expanding the kingdom of God. He could even find time every day to eat and chat with a group of fairies. It was so comfortable.
As for purchasing magic alchemy furnaces and increasing the production of elixirs, he didn't need to worry about it at all and could just leave it to Prime Minister Ma Ji.
Unfortunately, this leisurely life ended after a few days, because Xi Tianzun started to go crazy again.
Around noon that day, he had just enlightened two or three hundred earthly immortals and was about to go to the main hall under Linlang Peak to eat and chat with a group of fairies when Tianzun Xian suddenly jumped out of his demon power space, rubbing his hands and saying, "Master Jiu, since you can enlighten so many earthly immortals in one day, can you help me enlighten some demon immortals as well?"
Of course he can. He can enlighten both demon fairies and earth fairies, and cultivating demon fairies and demon gods is also his goal.
Chen Jiu nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course you can. Just bring out a demon that has reached the peak of the demon king level every morning, and I will enlighten it. Anyway, I can only enlighten more than 200 earth immortals a day now. It won't be a problem for me to help you enlighten a demon immortal every morning."
Tianzun Ao actually laughed and said, "I'm afraid the morning time is not enough. I see that you can enlighten two to three hundred earth immortals every morning, so I've made some arrangements. I can also give you about three hundred peak demon king monsters every day. You can come and enlighten them in the afternoon."
ah?
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu was stunned and asked, "You can give birth to 300 peak demon kings every day?"
Tianzun nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, you don't know. The number of demons is almost 300,000 now. I will pick out those with good qualifications. Just a few blood soul pills can stimulate them to become big demons. I will also give those big demons with good qualifications a bottle of immortal pills for strengthening blood and spirit every day. They can be promoted to the realm of demon king in about ten days.
Then give each of these demon kings ten bottles of elixirs for strengthening qi and blood and ten bottles of elixirs for strengthening the soul. After practicing for about another month, they will be able to reach the peak level of demon king.
I have already been nurturing those monster king level monsters. Today, there are already hundreds who have reached the peak level of monster king. I will definitely have no problem giving you 300 tomorrow, and the rest will be able to keep up."
My God, you are so crazy about giving birth to the demon race, then I will give you the elixir!
Chen Jiu asked carefully: "How many of the 100,000 bottles of Qi and blood strengthening elixirs and the 100,000 bottles of soul strengthening elixirs do you have left?"
Upon hearing this, Tianzun Yu rubbed his hands and said, "I have already distributed all of this, can you give me 100,000 bottles of Qi and blood-boosting elixirs and 100,000 bottles of spirit-boosting elixirs every month?"
As expected, I knew that you must have almost used up all of that crazy elixir that you were using to induce childbirth.
Oh, never mind. He can’t favor one over the other.
Now, the number of elixirs consumed in a month for cultivating earth immortals and true gods is 450,000, while 100,000 bottles of elixirs for enhancing qi and blood and 100,000 bottles of elixirs for enhancing the soul are only worth 300,000 bottles of ordinary five-element elixirs.
By this calculation, the investment in cultivating demon fairies and demon gods is actually much less, but what about the output?
Chen Jiu asked carefully: "How many demon gods can you give birth to in a day now?"
Tianzun Xi couldn't help but sighed slightly and said, "Isn't this because the elixirs are not enough? I can only give birth to forty or fifty demon gods a day. If you can give me fifty thousand more elixirs that strengthen qi and blood and fifty thousand more elixirs that strengthen the soul every month, I guarantee that I can give birth to more than a hundred demon gods for you every day."
By this calculation, the investment in cultivating demon fairies and demon gods is almost the same as that in cultivating earth fairies and true gods.
The key is how many demon gods can be born every day.
Chen Jiu asked directly: "Master, if I can give me 50,000 more bottles of elixirs for strengthening qi and blood and 50,000 more bottles of elixirs for strengthening spirit and soul every month, how many demon gods can you give birth to for me every day? Can you give me an exact number?"
Tianzun thought about it, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then I must find a way to give birth to 150 demon gods for you every day."
Sure enough, it is more cost-effective to give birth to demon immortals and demon gods than to earth immortals and true gods. With the same investment of elixirs, they can actually only give birth to about two hundred earth immortals and a hundred true gods every day. The dozens of extra earth immortals every day are still earned by him during his months of busy work.
But investing 450,000 bottles of elixirs to give birth to demon fairies and demon gods is different. That means giving birth to 300 demon fairies and 150 demon gods every day.
As for why, the reason is actually very simple, because the demon clan practices a different method, they directly absorb the demon's energy, and they also have a certain number of blood soul pills every day as a supplement.
By this calculation, he can invest so many elixirs in cultivating earthly immortals and true gods, so he will naturally have to invest even more in cultivating demon immortals and demon gods.
Oh, this elixir.
Originally he thought that with the increase in the number of elixirs, he would have some surplus every month. But now it seems that not only is there no surplus, he even loses money every month because he has to invest more than 100,000 bottles of elixirs every month to buy the divine robes, divine armor, divine swords, elixir-like herbs, mortals from the divine kingdom, magic alchemy furnaces, ordinary alchemy furnaces, etc.
No, it seems that we can't invest too much in this divine robe, because the divine robe can only be worn by the earthly immortals and true gods who cannot participate in the war. The earthly immortals who participate in the war are equipped with immortal armor, and the true gods who participate in the war will be equipped with divine armor and divine swords.
At this moment, his investment in divine armor and divine swords is getting bigger and bigger. Three thousand sets of divine armor and three thousand divine swords a month means sixty thousand bottles of elixir. If the demon gods cultivated by Xian Tianzun are added, then another four thousand five hundred sets of divine armor and four thousand five hundred divine swords will be added a month, which means another ninety thousand bottles of elixir.
If you add the 50,000 bottles of elixirs used to buy the divine robe every month, these alone would total 200,000 bottles of elixirs. Even if he used all the immortal herbs and elixirs to refine the divine elixirs, the elixirs he got in return would not be enough.
And now his other income is just a drizzle, not worth spending at all. The immortal weapons, refining materials, and the tree monsters cultivated by Fairy Hibiscus can only earn him 60,000 bottles of immortal pills a month. What's the use of that?
Alas, it seems that no matter how much elixir there is, it is never enough!
No, he had to find a solution quickly, otherwise he couldn't afford the loss. He only had more than 1.5 million bottles of elixirs left.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiu said decisively: "Okay, Master, I will go and exchange the immortal pills for you to strengthen your soul. I will give them to you in the afternoon. You wait. By the way, I can't bring demon fairies and demon gods with me to the God Realm. I have to release all the demon fairies and demon gods in the Kingdom of God and the demon power space."
After saying that, he simply raised his hand, and hundreds of demon gods and thousands of demon fairies appeared on the various hills of Jiuling Mountain.
Then, he quickly rushed to Prime Minister Huo's office and found Ma Ji, who was busy settling accounts there.
When Ma Ji saw him suddenly flash over, he quickly put down his pen and was about to stand up to salute.
Chen Jiu raised his hand and said, "Master Ma, please don't get up. I still need you to help me find a way to save some elixirs. If this continues, we won't have enough elixirs."
Hearing this, Ma Ji was surprised and said, "God, are the elixirs running out again? This month we can harvest at least 460 bottles of elixirs, which means more than 410,000 bottles of elixirs."
Alas, these tens of thousands of bottles are useless.
Chen Jiu calculated carefully and said, "We still have to train demon fairies and demon gods. We also have to invest 450,000 bottles of elixirs every month in Master Xian. Just these two 450,000 bottles will almost use up all the elixirs we earn every month.
Moreover, after cultivating the true gods and demon gods, we still have to equip them with magic elixirs and magic armors. Three thousand true gods and four thousand five demon gods every month means seven thousand five hundred sets of magic armor and magic swords. This alone is 150,000 bottles of elixirs, and we still have to buy other things.
Therefore, I decided not to purchase the divine robes in large quantities. Anyway, only the alchemists and weapon refiners need to wear divine robes, and at most the earthly immortal officials under your command. The divine robes for these people can be replaced by the divine robes originally worn by the earthly immortals who have overcome tribulations and become gods.
This way we can save 50,000 bottles of elixirs a month. Think about it, is there any other way to save elixirs? Otherwise, the elixirs we have on hand won’t last for a few months.”
Hearing this, Ma Ji frowned and pondered for a while before carefully asking, "Seven thousand five hundred sets of divine armor and divine swords, can Qingmufang City refine so many in a month?"
This doesn’t seem to work either!
Chen Jiu shook his head slowly and said, "It seems that they can't do it. I told Master Hu last time that they can only refine three to four thousand sets of divine armor and divine swords in a month at most."
Upon hearing this, Ma Ji decisively said: "Then we will let those god-level refiners refine the divine armor and divine sword. There are more than 120 of them who have become gods now, so refining the divine armor and divine sword should not be a problem at all.
Besides, the soldiers of the eight battalions have been equipped, so we only need to refine some immortal arrows in the future. There is no need to purchase ordinary artifact furnaces. It will be no problem for them to refine divine armor and divine swords."
Chen Jiu nodded, and suddenly paused.
He said helplessly: "The problem is that there are not enough magic weapon alchemy furnaces. One hundred and twenty magic weapon alchemy furnaces can refine three hundred and sixty sets of divine armor or three hundred and sixty divine swords in a month. It's too few and not enough!"
Uh, this.
There are not enough magic alchemy furnaces, this is a fatal flaw, what can we do?
Ma Ji was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He thought about it carefully, and then said carefully: "God, can you ask Shen Ding to see if he can refine a magic alchemy furnace? If he can, we may be able to let those god-level refiners try. If they can refine a magic alchemy furnace, then we don't have to worry about not having enough magic alchemy furnaces.
One hundred and twenty can be refined once to become two hundred and forty, two hundred and forty can be refined once to become four hundred and eighty, four hundred and eighty can be refined once to become nine hundred and sixty, nine hundred and sixty doubled can become one thousand nine hundred and twenty, and if doubled again, it will be three thousand eight hundred and forty.
In this way, not only will we have enough alchemy furnaces to refine the divine armor and divine sword, but it will also take less than two months for us to have enough alchemy furnaces to refine the divine pills. "
Yes, the Honghuang Divine Cauldron will definitely be able to refine the magic alchemy furnace. There is no need to ask about this. The key is the materials.
"Wait a moment, I'll go ask Lao Ding."
Chen Jiu thought about it and simply flashed into the underground fire cave.
