Dragon King Hall's Legend

The next day.

Yinlong Mountain.

After getting up, Mu Jinyu had breakfast and then went to the Inner Valley.

He glanced at Zhou Yi, who was also up early to practice alchemy. Without greeting him, he paced around with his hands behind his back, pondering something.

Since returning from the River City Welfare Institute yesterday, he had been thinking about how to mass-produce Essence Qi Pills, a first grade elixir, for the entire Huaxia population to aid cultivation and to complete the supporting framework of the national martial arts plan.

He talked lightly with the old director yesterday, but in reality, this matter was not simple.

The Beauty Pill sold by Jinyu Group before strictly speaking, couldn't even be called an elixir, it was just a pill, hence it could be easily produced on an assembly line.

But the Essence Qi Pill is a solid first grade elixir, even if the grade is low, it is still an elixir, requiring an Alchemy Furnace for refining.

Therefore, thinking about mass-producing Essence Qi Pills, the difficulty increases by several tens of times.

Moreover, cultivating alchemists is not a simple task either.

However, even though it is difficult, Mu Jinyu actually had some confidence, otherwise he wouldn't have boasted.

"To meet the national demand, even if it's just one pill per person once a month, you need to produce 1.4 billion Essence Qi Pills a month. Not to mention the issue of refining, there aren't enough spiritual herbs to begin with, so we must first find a way to automatically mature the spiritual herbs daily."

Mu Jinyu began thinking about the cost of refining Essence Qi Pills. After all, if spiritual herb supply falls short, even if he could train a billion alchemists, they couldn't cook without rice.

The only way to quickly mature spiritual herbs and conduct alchemy is through his Life Source Energy.

But he couldn't have nothing to do and stay in one place maturing spiritual herbs all the time, right?

That's not realistic.

So, Mu Jinyu first had to find a way to have his Life Source Energy mature spiritual herbs autonomously without his oversight.

"Let's try using an array formation first, maybe it can work."

Mu Jinyu paced around, his brows furrowing and then relaxing, and he took out some materials for setting up an array from the Storage Bag.

"Buzz!"

Quickly, Mu Jinyu set up a small Spirit Gathering Array.

The dense nature's spiritual energy around Yinlong Mountain automatically flowed into the small Spirit Gathering Array.

Of course, because the Mountain Protection Array of Yinlong Mountain already had an oversized Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit Storage Array, this spirit gathering movement wasn't significant.

It didn't even awake Zhou Yi, who was practicing alchemy.

Then, Mu Jinyu inscribed a forbidden rune he got from Mount Tai onto the small Spirit Gathering Array, which could store items and automatically absorb nature's spiritual energy to nourish them.

After setting up the array and rune, Mu Jinyu tried to carve the operational route of the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture" and the changes of "True Dragon Mystic Taoism" onto the array.

"Boom!"

However, before Mu Jinyu could engrave the Dao Rhyme and changes of the "True Dragon Mystic Taoism," the array couldn't bear the spiritual pressure and collapsed after only one-tenth of the true demand of the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture" was inscribed.

"It is indeed a bit difficult."

Mu Jinyu furrowed his brows tightly, sighing slightly.

The composition of his Life Source Energy is from having practiced the "Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art", transforming his own True Yuan attribute to Wood Attribute True Essence, and then activating the "True Dragon Art" to invoke the Azure Dragon Bloodline, evolving it into Yi Wood True Essence.

Yi Wood True Essence can primarily heal injuries quickly and promote plant growth.

Finally, to transform it into Life Source Energy, he requires help from the Mystical Little Tree in his mind.

Yet Mu Jinyu didn't intend to bring out Life Source Energy, he just wanted to produce Yi Wood True Essence, without the extreme speed of maturing spiritual herbs as Life Source Energy would, just needing Yi Wood True Essence to rapidly mature spiritual herbs would suffice.

But this process isn't simple either!

"If I can't manage the 'Green Emperor Wood Emperor Scripture' and 'True Dragon Mystic Taoism', let's try the preparatory cultivation techniques first."

Mu Jinyu wasn't disheartened, arranging another small Spirit Gathering Array, engraving the Dao Rhyme and true demand of "Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art" and "True Dragon Art."

The classics and cultivation techniques, the Dao and the art, although differing by just a word, cultivation techniques and arts far surpass classics and the Dao in practice.

And since Mu Jinyu had previously cultivated the techniques and arts, even when practicing the preparatory cultivation techniques, he could evolve into Yi Wood True Essence back then, he didn't need to particularly engrave the true demand of the classics and the Dao.

This time, it barely succeeded.

"Very good."

Mu Jinyu observed the Spirit Gathering Array, after absorbing the nearby nature's spiritual energy, triggered by the rune, automatically storing the energy within, then activated the operational paths of the "Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art" and "True Dragon Art", converting it into Yi Wood True Qi.

"Go!"

Mu Jinyu raised his hand, tossing a seed inside.

"Buzz!"

The seed fell into the array, soaked in Yi Wood True Essence, and began to slowly sprout.

"The speed is a bit lacking..."

Watching this, Mu Jinyu frowned slightly, feeling the speed was slow, far less than when he previously accelerated local plant growth with Yi Wood True Qi.

"Almost forgot..."

Furrowing his brows, Mu Jinyu thought for a while before realizing that it requires the Dragon Clan's Bloodline to activate using the True Dragon Art.

Since he currently possesses Divine Dragon Blood all over, with Life Source Energy operating autonomously, he didn't need the "True Dragon Mystic Taoism" for transformation, he had forgotten about it.

"Shila."

Realizing this key point, Mu Jinyu squeezed a drop of Divine Dragon Blood from his fingertip, letting it fall into the Spirit Gathering Array.

"Wow!"

Upon the Divine Dragon Blood hitting the array, it was converted into Yi Wood True Essence, and then the slow-germinating spiritual medicine seed rapidly sprouted, growing into a spiritual medicine!

"It really works..."

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu's face immediately beamed with a smile.

But before he could celebrate, he saw the array plate suddenly begin vibrating intensely, then with a boom, it shattered.

The spiritual medicine within, not yet grown, was blown apart.

"No, the array plate doesn't have a body like mine to withstand such intense changes!"

Mu Jinyu's face darkened, his brows tightening up.

Next, Mu Jinyu exhaled heavily, producing more precious materials to continue arranging a better array.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

After several attempts, he kept failing.

During this, Zhou Yi, who was alchemizing, was woken up, almost causing an explosion of his pill furnace.

But when he succeeded in alchemy, the disturbance affected both the pill completion and its quality, lowering them significantly.

"Dragon Master, what are you... doing?"

Zhou Yi, seeing that Mu Jinyu didn't seem to be alchemizing but wasn't quite sure what he was doing, plucked up the courage to approach, asking after Mu Jinyu failed once again.

With a not so good expression, Mu Jinyu casually replied, "Setting up a formation, maturing spiritual herbs..."

Zhou Yi already knew that Mu Jinyu's True Yuan could mature spiritual herbs, having noticed that in the ten acres of medicine fields, whenever he used up a large batch, they soon regrew, all over a hundred years in maturity.

Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, he curiously asked, "Aren't these ten acres of medicine fields enough? What are you researching for, Dragon Master?"

Mu Jinyu, re-contemplating his approach without continuing his research, casually answered, "These ten acres are enough for our Dragon King Hall members, but I am planning a major operation, mass refining Essence Qi Pills for everyone nationwide, to cooperate with the nationwide martial arts plan. So, are these ten acres of medicine fields still sufficient?"
