Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Making Money and Development is the Right Way! (5/5)_1

Thousand Tortoise City was huge, so vast that its edges were not visible. At the city gate, Ye Fan had to pay a hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones entry fee.

The soldiers guarding the city were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Even more, Ye Fan discerned the presence of someone at the Core Formation Stage.

In comparison to Guanghe Prefecture, even just one city in the Ten-thousand Stars Island was on a superior level by unknown folds.

The idea of a Core Formation Stage cultivator being in just any random city seemed extravagant.

Thousand Tortoise City prohibited flight.

And so, Ye Fan saw the legendary transmission arrays for the first time.

The transmission arrays within Thousand Tortoise City were short-ranged. It only required two hundred low-grade spirit stones to move anywhere within the city.

In addition, there were long-range transmission arrays that could transport one to other cities in the Ten-thousand Stars Sea area.

However, the price for that was much higher, which most cultivators could not afford to use.

The transmission array had finally given Ye Fan a glimpse into the world of cultivation he had in his mind.

Qing Song Zi took Ye Fan to the branch department of the Alchemist Alliance through the transmission array.

The entire branch department of the Alchemist Alliance was made with second-grade spirit material, Green Gold stone. Ye Fan even found traces of the third-grade formations. The cost of constructing this branch department alone was enough to bankrupt a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

Ye Fan got his first impression of the extravagance of alchemists.

Compared with the alchemists of the Ten-thousand Stars Island, the alchemists of Guanghe Prefecture simply seemed like country bumpkins.

The first floor was a large hall.

Three banners hung in the hall.

The first banner listed requests commissioned by other cultivators.

These requests were basically about crafting various elixirs.

The second banner displayed the purchasing prices set by the Alchemist Union.

The price for each type of elixir was clearly defined.

For example, a first-grade lower quality elixir ranged from one to five low-grade spirit stones.

The medium grade elixir ranged from ten to fifty, and the high-grade elixir ranged from one hundred to five hundred.

There were some special pills too, like the Five Dragon Elixir, which required a whole fifteen hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Second-grade elixirs like Guyuan Elixir, which increase cultivation levels, cost twelve hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Top-grade second-rank elixirs were priced at tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones or a single high-grade spirit stone.

As for the third-grade, they could only be purchased with high-grade spirit stones.

Each type of elixir had a set price.

As the largest organization of alchemists, the Alchemist Alliance held the right to determine prices.

Ordinary cultivators could directly buy elixirs from the Alchemist Alliance’s stores, and alchemists could sell elixirs through the Alchemist Alliance.

However, when selling elixirs, only ninety percent of the purchase price was given.

Moreover, the Alchemist Alliance does not accept elixirs of unknown origin.

In order to sell elixirs at the Alchemist Alliance, one had to pass the Alchemist

Alliance’s rank-examination to become a first, second, or third rank alchemist.

Only with the identity of an alchemist can one sell elixirs in the Alchemist Alliance.

Besides obtaining spirit stones from selling elixirs, one could also earn points.

These points could be exchanged for various alchemical techniques and secret techniques, and they can even be used to acquire the legendary Departure Fire.

Of course, the alchemist points needed to exchange for the Departure Fire were massive.

Although the Alchemist Alliance had many rules, countless alchemists were scrambling to join it.

Being an alchemist in the Alchemist Alliance represented orthodoxy.

Just like writing novels, among the numerous websites, attaining enlightenment still means going to the starting point.

Only the results from the starting point are universally acknowledged and accepted.

Ye Fan didn’t want to be an outlier. If the ranks in the Alchemist Alliance were useful, why not claim one!

Truth be told, Ye Fan was essentially a self-taught Alchemist who had never officially studied Alchemy.

This time, Ye Fan finally got the opportunity to organize his knowledge about Alchemy.

The first step for an Alchemist is identifying medicinal materials.

Only after having a complete understanding of every medicinal material’s properties can a true control over their fusion be achieved.

There are tens of thousands of medicinal materials in the Cultivation World, and many Alchemy apprentices fail at this identification stage.

After identifying the medicinal materials, the second step is purification, refining all impurities within the materials.

The purer the refined medicinal liquid, the higher the demands on the Alchemist’s spiritual power control precision and control over Spiritual Fire.

The third step is the fusion of the medicinal liquid.

Different Spiritual Medicines’ properties are fused according to the formula to achieve perfection.

Any tiny mistake can lead to the failure of the Elixir’s creation.

The last step, the formation of the pill, is actually the easiest.

The first and second tier Alchemist evaluations pose no difficulty for Ye Fan.

On this occasion, he also sorted out his understanding of Alchemy, and he can now re-organize the secret codes of Alchemy in his library at home.

Half a day later, a shimmering golden Token was handed to Ye Fan.

Two Pill Furnaces and three small hearts, representing Ye Fan’s rank as a high-grade second tier Alchemist.

Although Ye Fan could become a third-tier Alchemist if he wanted, he chose not to take the test.

The identity of a second-tier Alchemist is enough for Ye Fan’s current needs.

“Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on joining the large family of the Alchemy Union.”

Qing Song Zi was the first to congratulate Ye Fan.

Ye Fan bowed in gratitude and said, “My thanks to fellow Daoist Qing Song Zi.” Even Ye Fan had to admit, Qing Song Zi was a good person.

Not only did he bring Ye Fan to Thousand Tortoise City, but he also guided him in joining the Alchemy Union.

Qing Song Zi needed to go perform a task and, having given Ye Fan a Jade Slip, he left.

A Sound Transmission Jade Slip is like a mobile phone from his past life; as long as it’s within Thousand Tortoise City, sound can be transmitted.

Once the Sound Transmission Jade Slip was here, everything felt more real.

After Qing Song Zi left, Ye Fan’s first stop was at the Alchemy Union’s library.

The first floor of the library is free, and Ye Fan needed to find information about Wanxing Island.

Being new to Wanxing Island, there was still so much Ye Fan needed to know.

“Observations of Wanxing Island,” “Secrets of the Cultivation World,” and “Do

You Really Understand Wanxing Island?”

After reading all the books, Ye Fan finally understood the general situation of his current surroundings.

Thousand Tortoise City and the Ye Family Territory both sit on the outskirts of Wanxing Island.

And Thousand Tortoise City, along with nine other main cities, constitute the East Territory of Wanxing Island’s outskirts.

Most groups with strong power in East Territory have Cultivators at the Core Formation Stage, while those in the Nascent Soul Stage are rare.

There are thirty-six main cities like Thousand Tortoise City on the outskirts of Wanxing Island.

Theres’s a huge number of Cultivator sects and families, and also many powerful lone cultivators.

It all boils down to this—there are many opportunities and many powerful individuals, making it a tough world to survive in!

Gradually, Ye Fan started to understand more and more about Wanxing Island, and he also came up with a general plan for the future development of the Ye family.

Wanxing Island hardly has any markets. To trade goods, you either need to find familiar cultivators, attend some familv tradilu events, or zo to a large

city.

And Thousand Tortoise City happens to be the nearest major city to the Ye Family.

If the Ye Family wants to obtain resources, its development in Thousand Tortoise City is inevitable.

With Ye Fan’s status as a high-grade second-tier Alchemist, the difficulty of re-establishing Thousand Leaves Pavilion is not high.

Moreover, as the Ye Family has so many Alchemists and Artifact Refiners and there are even more Cultivators on Wanxing Island, their development could be even better than it was in Guanghe Prefecture!

Fighting is not the answer; making money and progressing, that’s the righteous path!
