When it comes to earning spirit stones, of course, no one does it better than him.
Thinking of this, Guo Feilong's lips curled into a slight smile, his face full of joy.
He could produce ten pills in one batch.
Four were given to the Spirit Creek Sect,
And he kept six for himself.
His alchemy could earn the Spirit Creek Sect 720,000 low-quality spirit stones a year.
While he himself earned 2.16 million low-quality spirit stones annually.
That's exactly three times the profit of the Spirit Creek Sect.
Calculating it this way, it's like the Spirit Creek Sect is working for him, rather than him working for them as an alchemist.
In fact, if he were to purchase these alchemy materials himself, it would be very difficult.
Because some auxiliary alchemy herbs, along with the main ingredients, are controlled by major cultivation forces.
The quantity available for public sale is very limited, and it's not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivator can easily buy.
Collaborating with the Spirit Creek Sect for alchemy is much better than becoming a guest alchemist for them.
He only needed to provide the alchemy skills, while the Spirit Creek Sect took care of gathering all the alchemy materials.
Thinking of this, Guo Feilong's enthusiasm for alchemy soared, and his mood improved significantly.
To be honest, the most profitable elixirs are still the Foundation Pills.
Unfortunately, some auxiliary herbs needed for refining Foundation Pills are now controlled by major cultivation forces, making them hard to find on the market.
Fortunately, before these forces began controlling the main ingredients for Foundation Pills, he had already purchased a large stock of materials for them.
He currently had enough materials to refine 123 batches of Foundation Pills, producing a total of 1,230 Ninth Grade Foundation Pills.
For other cultivators reaching the ninth-level Qi Refining stage, having a Foundation Pill might not be crucial, but for his wives and children at home, they currently don't need them.
In the coming days, Guo Feilong would spend ten hours a day refining Sixth Grade elixirs provided by the Spirit Creek Sect.
He would finish refining sixty batches of elixirs in just six days.
Because in three months, he planned to move his family to that First Grade Small World, his wives had been extremely busy these days.
The entire Green Sun County was their fiefdom, with nearly three million ordinary people, and it was impossible to move them all to the First Grade Small World.
Guo Feilong's plan was to move 100,000 ordinary people in the first relocation three months later.
Then, gradually move about 500,000 people into the Small World.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
The remaining two million or so people would stay in Green Sun County.
Everyone knew the benefits of moving into the Small World.
The spiritual energy there was more abundant, making it difficult for ordinary people to fall ill.
It also had a certain effect on extending the lifespan of ordinary people.
The number of people wanting to move into the Small World was countless.
His wives all had maternal families, and they were busy registering their relatives, like aunts and uncles, and various kin.
Guo Feilong left the relocation of ordinary people to his wives to handle.
After finishing the elixirs, Guo Feilong left the alchemy room and went to the family training ground.
His children, who had spiritual roots and were under ten years old and not yet part of the Spirit Creek Sect, were practicing combat techniques here.
In this cultivation world, all cultivation families, big or small, would start teaching their descendants with spiritual roots to cultivate at the age of five and train their combat skills by seven.
Guo Feilong was no exception.
Cultivation depended on spiritual roots, so there was no need to worry too much.
Those with good spiritual roots cultivated quickly, while those with poor spiritual roots cultivated slowly.
Guo Feilong treated each child equally.
When they were born, if their spiritual roots were not of medium quality, he would use auspicious clouds to raise them to medium quality.
If they had medium-quality spiritual roots, he would raise them to high quality.
As for those with high-quality spiritual roots, Guo Feilong would enhance them to the highest level of high quality.
It wasn't that he didn't want to raise his children's spiritual roots to Earth Grade.
But raising a high-quality spiritual root to Earth Grade required too many auspicious clouds.
He didn't have the ability to raise all his children's spiritual roots to Earth Grade.
He could only enhance them to a moderate level based on their original quality.
Guo Feilong had his own training methods for his children's combat training, different from other families in this world.
At this moment.
In the family training ground.
His children.
Some were practicing spells.
Small fireballs, water balls, ice spikes, and lightning were all present.
Some were practicing controlling flying swords.
They slashed at spiritual instrument steel targets from various angles in the air.
Some daughters were surrounded by five to ten ordinary archers.
These ordinary archers continuously shot arrows at his surrounded daughters.
His children were unarmed, dodging arrows coming from different directions.
Of course, to prevent accidental injuries to his children, the arrowheads were rounded.
Even if they hit the body, they couldn't harm the skin, having no lethality.
Initially, those ordinary archers were afraid to really shoot arrows at his children.
Guo Feilong told them that if any injuries occurred, he wouldn't blame them.
Moreover, if anyone hit a target, they would be rewarded with one tael of silver.
Two hits would earn two taels of silver.
And so on.
For each hit, they would earn an additional tael of silver.
As the saying goes, money can make the devil turn the millstone.
For the sake of silver.
Those ordinary archers not only stopped fearing but became very enthusiastic.
Now, his household had three teams of ordinary archers.
Each team had one hundred archers, with one skilled captain for every ten archers.
The best archer in each team was the brigade leader, managing a hundred-man brigade.
The three hundred-man archer teams were managed by a maid skilled in accounting, appointed by Guo Feilong.
This maid had ten assistants who could read and write.
They were responsible for recording how many arrows each archer hit, and at the end of each month, they would go to the accounting room to collect money and distribute bonuses to the archers.
Being surrounded and shot at by multiple archers could train his children's dodging ability and subconscious physical reflexes.
"Father."
"Lord."
People of different statuses addressed him differently when they saw him.
Guo Feilong told them, "Continue training, don't stop. When I'm at the training ground, unless I give you the order to stop, just pretend you don't see me and train as usual."
"Yes, Lord."
"Okay, Father."
Although Guo Feilong usually had a smiling face, giving off a friendly and approachable vibe, everyone respected him greatly, except for his wives.
His children and those ordinary archers continued training as if he wasn't there.
After watching his children's training at the family training ground for a while, Guo Feilong left.
Soon, he arrived at the family's private school, where his ordinary children without spiritual roots were studying, shaking their heads as they read.
In this cultivation world, there were no imperial examinations, and reading and writing were not for gaining fame or composing poetry.
It was simply for literacy and reading, but Guo Feilong wrote down the Three Character Classic and some articles he remembered from Earth for the teacher to teach his children to recite.
Guo Feilong had already planned the future for his ordinary children without spiritual roots. He would set up a small village for each of them in the fiefdom, where they could be a small village head.
A village didn't need many people, just forty or fifty households. They wouldn't need to work, just manage the village, and they would have enough to eat and drink for a lifetime.
If, in the future, the number of descendants became too large.
Guo Feilong would let them go to other counties to do business, become small landlords, and live a life without worries.
If they didn't want to do business or be a small village head.
He would just support them in the Small World, as he had no shortage of money to support them.
Time flew by, and a month had passed since Deputy Sect Master Ma delivered the alchemy recipe. The Spirit Creek Sect sent another late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, Elder Zhao, to deliver materials for sixty batches of Sixth Grade elixirs and take back the elixirs he had refined.
When Elder Zhao, at the late Foundation Establishment stage, was about to leave, Guo Feilong cheerfully said to him, "Elder Zhao, it's been a long time since I've seen my children in the Spirit Creek Sect.
Let's travel together, and I'll take advantage of your Foundation Establishment stage flying spiritual beast."
"Elder Guo, you're too kind." Elder Zhao, eager to befriend a mid-level alchemist at the Foundation Establishment stage, warmly invited him to ride on his Foundation Establishment stage flying spiritual beast.
