CHAPTER 560: CHAPTER 443: NEW WORLD: MIGHTY LIFTER!

After chatting for a while and growing more familiar, Chen Jichuan consciously took out two jade bottles from his sleeve and handed them to the Shuofeng Domain Master. He then spoke, "When I first embarked on the immortal path, I took great interest in alchemy and artifact refining. Over the years, I have gained some insights. Here are two types of fourth-order pills. One is called the ’Bright Day Pill,’ which aids Inner Realm Immortals in enhancing their mana. The other is called the ’Clear Wind Pill,’ which can heal injuries even for Dharma Body Realm Immortals."

Chen Jichuan mastered the crafting of six fourth-order pills. Among them, the ’Bright Day Pill’ and ’Clear Wind Pill’ are two of the commonly used and highly demanded ones. Once crafted, there was no need to worry about their sales.

For now, these two pills were sufficient.

"Bright Day Pill."

"Clear Wind Pill."

The Shuofeng Domain Master inspected the pills after receiving the bottles and was overjoyed. The quality of these pills was decent, and their applicability was broad, especially the ’Clear Wind Pill.’ When an Upper Immortal is injured, recovery is particularly arduous, and healing pills are always in demand.

Currently, the news of the Quliang City Lord’s imminent ascension was spreading like wildfire, while the Ekong Country Master was eyeing ’Quliang Ancient City’ covetously. An inevitable battle was on the horizon; stockpiling some ’Clear Wind Pills’ before the war would surely bring tremendous profit.

"I must keep him here."

The Shuofeng Domain Master looked at Chen Jichuan, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Master’s visit here is a sign of trust in me. If you’re willing to stay in the Shuofeng Domain, you can be assured I won’t treat you poorly."

Having a fourth-order alchemist remain in Shuofeng Domain would benefit him as the Domain Lord in many ways.

Firstly, it would allow him to forge alliances with various Upper Immortals.

Additionally, the presence of a fourth-order alchemist would attract ordinary cultivators, encouraging them to settle in the domain.

Over time, Shuofeng Domain could grow stronger.

Moreover, as the fourth-order alchemist continued to grow, it would directly aid the Shuofeng Domain Master in his own cultivation.

The Shuofeng Domain Master naturally showed utmost sincerity.

"With your assurance, I can rest easy. To be frank, I am wholly dedicated to the Dao and obsessed with alchemy, least interested in mundane affairs. If you don’t mind, I’d be glad to purchase the herbs needed for pill-making from you and offer the produced pills, aside from what I keep for myself, for sale only to you."

"What do you think of this arrangement?"

Chen Jichuan mainly sought the Shuofeng Domain Master’s protection, aiming for a stable environment to conduct alchemy and accumulate Spirit Crystals.

He had no other requirements.

Offering his pills to the Shuofeng Domain Master would serve as the benefit for his protection. Chen Jichuan didn’t care about other sales channels or social connections for now.

Once his cultivation advanced rapidly to the fourth-order peak, those connections would come naturally.

Even during his stay, if things within the Shuofeng Domain didn’t go as expected, he could always pack up and leave.

Many avatars, immense capabilities—that’s the luxury.

"That’s it?"

The Shuofeng Domain Master was momentarily surprised; he hadn’t expected Chen Jichuan to propose something so simple. Giddy with delight, he immediately agreed.

Thus, the two struck a deal.

Chen Jichuan directly requested the Shuofeng Domain Master to arrange a safe and stable cave mansion for him, which would serve as his base for cultivation and alchemy. The Shuofeng Domain Master collected the required herbs, while he immersed himself in his cave mansion, rarely going outside.

...

Shuofeng City.

Inside the cave mansion.

"Currently, with my ’Avatar Technique’ at the Second Realm, I have eighty-one avatars. Forty-five of them are scattered across various regions of Tianmang Realm, while thirty-six have entered Hanging Mirror Sea."

"One avatar has already secured a foothold in Shuofeng Domain. Next, three avatars will manage the wealth gathered within Shuofeng Domain, dispersing it to mitigate risks."

"Additionally, thirty-two avatars, grouped into teams of four, will leave Shuofeng Domain and Ekong Country and replicate the Shuofeng Domain model elsewhere, either crafting pills or refining artifacts to earn Spirit Crystals."

"Once I gain more familiarity with Hanging Mirror Sea, I can deploy additional avatars across its territories."

"Eighty-one avatars existing simultaneously, all engaged in alchemy and artifact refining—while my mental strength and mastery still struggle to ensure perfection, I can guarantee that eighteen avatars will possess the ability to craft fourth-order pills and forge fourth-order magical treasures."

"Once all eighteen start working concurrently, I can earn two to three Fang Yuan Crystals annually."

"In roughly a thousand years, I’ll master a Divine Skill!"

Chen Jichuan contemplated this, finding the pace of wealth accumulation passably satisfactory. By then, his true self would remain in Panlong Mountain, nine avatars hidden across Tianmang Realm, eighteen avatars openly engaged in alchemy and artifact refining to earn Spirit Crystals, and fifty-four avatars responsible for dispersing and protecting the wealth of the eighteen wealthy avatars.

Stable!

Perfect!

With numerous avatars, handling any task became much more manageable, leaving fewer concerns. Even with just the Second Realm’s eighty-one avatars, countless strategies and possibilities opened up.

"Avatar Technique."

Chen Jichuan grew increasingly fond of this Divine Skill.

...

Three months elapsed in a flash.

In reality, his plans were gradually taking shape, and everything proceeded methodically.

Meanwhile.

The ninth Dao Fruit World was finally opened.

...

[Ding!]

[Arrived in a new world, scanning....]

[Scan complete.]

[Current world’s time flow ratio compared to Master World: 400:1]

[Master is deploying, 5...4...3...2...1]

Meditation entered the lotus.

The heavens swirled and the earth trembled.

When he opened his eyes, a brand-new world unfolded before him.

...

Gurgle!

Gurgle!

The sound of bubbling, like boiling water, echoed in his ears. A mix of numbness, tingling, and soreness spread across his body, accompanied by countless sensations.

Chen Jichuan groggily opened his eyes.

What came into view was:

All around him lay a ghastly green liquid, boiling furiously, forming bubbles that burst open and splattered green fluid all over his face and body.
