In the path of alchemy, Guo Feilong had long reached the grandmaster level.
The Yang Essence Pill is a Ninth Grade elixir, and a high-level alchemist can easily refine it.
For a grandmaster-level alchemist, refining the Yang Essence Pill is a piece of cake.
In the Forbidden Zone, Guo Feilong took out the jade slip containing the alchemy recipe for the Yang Essence Pill and pressed it against his forehead.
In the next instant, his divine sense saw the recipe for the Yang Essence Pill.
The Earth Spirit Fruit is the main ingredient for refining the Yang Essence Pill, and he had it.
Then there were 35 types of auxiliary spirit herbs and medicines, three of which he currently didn't have.
However, these three spirit herbs and medicines could be substituted with others that had similar medicinal effects.
One Earth Spirit Fruit could be used to refine one batch of Yang Essence Pills, and he had previously harvested a total of 324 Earth Spirit Fruits from the transplanted Earth Spirit Fruit Tree.
324 Earth Spirit Fruits.
With the use of auspicious clouds, each batch could yield a full set of pills, which meant ten pills per batch.
324 Earth Spirit Fruits equaled 3,240 Yang Essence Pills.
The calculation was astonishing.
If he wished, he could, in a short time, allow the Spirit Creek Sect to have over a hundred Golden Elixir stage grand cultivators.
Unfortunately, the Spirit Creek Sect was composed of hundreds of families, not just his Guo family's Spirit Creek Sect.
There was no need to give the Yang Essence Pills he refined to the Spirit Creek Sect.
After memorizing the ratio of the main ingredient and auxiliary herbs for the Yang Essence Pill, Guo Feilong patted his storage bag, and an Eighth Grade alchemy furnace appeared before him.
This Eighth Grade alchemy furnace wasn't his; it was lent to him by the Spirit Creek Sect after he publicly reached the high-level alchemist stage.
In the future, if he died, the Eighth Grade alchemy furnace would have to be returned to the Spirit Creek Sect.
If any of his descendants became high-level alchemists, they could continue to use this Eighth Grade alchemy furnace.
Until there were no high-level alchemists among his Guo family descendants, this Eighth Grade alchemy furnace would have to be returned to the Spirit Creek Sect.
After all, the value of an Eighth Grade alchemy furnace was as high as tens of millions of low-quality spirit stones, equivalent to the price of a medium-quality sacred treasure.
The Spirit Creek Sect wouldn't be so generous as to give him such an expensive Eighth Grade alchemy furnace.
Among all spiritual instruments and sacred treasures, high-grade alchemy furnaces were the most expensive.
Because the higher the quality of the alchemy furnace, the higher the pill success rate.
Having a high-quality alchemy furnace could allow an immortal cultivation force to earn a lot more money.

A high-quality alchemy furnace was also useful to Guo Feilong.
Using a high-quality alchemy furnace could save auspicious clouds.
Although the amount of auspicious clouds saved per batch wasn't much.
But over one or two years, ten or twenty years, a hundred or two hundred years, or even thousands of years accumulated.
The amount of auspicious clouds that could be saved would be a very large number.
He placed high-grade fire spirit stones under the alchemy furnace, and after igniting them, the terrifying high temperature caused the surrounding air to appear in distorted ripples.
Following the refining sequence and dosage, Guo Feilong added each type of medicinal herb for the Yang Essence Pill into the alchemy furnace.
At the same time, when Guo Feilong was adding the herbs, he also added auspicious clouds to neutralize the medicinal effects within the herbs.
An hour later, an incredibly rich medicinal fragrance wafted out from the small holes of the alchemy furnace, and upon smelling it, his mind instantly became much clearer, and the mystic power within him stirred restlessly.
"Rise!"
Guo Feilong softly uttered, casting a Daoist art.
Buzz!
The lid of the alchemy furnace opened automatically, and ten golden pills, like ten dazzling little suns, flew out from the furnace.
With a wave of his hand, Guo Feilong used mystic light to draw the ten golden Yang Essence Pills into his palm.
Each Yang Essence Pill was the size of a quail egg, with nine faintly visible rune scripts on its surface.
Foundation Pill, Yang Essence Pill, Elemental Infant Pill, and Divine Transformation Pill, these elixirs specifically for breaking through major cultivation stages, all belonged to special elixirs, and once refined, they would have rune scripts on them.
One rune script indicated First Grade.
Two rune scripts indicated Second Grade.
And so on.
Nine rune scripts indicated Ninth Grade.
A Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pill could increase the success rate of a cultivator breaking through from the late Foundation Establishment stage at Great Perfection to the Golden Elixir stage by fifty percent.
In other words, if a late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator at Great Perfection had two Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pills, they would almost certainly become a Golden Elixir stage cultivator.
The effect of a First Grade Yang Essence Pill wasn't as good, at most increasing the success rate by ten percent.
At this moment, Guo Feilong took out ten small jade bottles from his storage bag.
After placing one Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pill into each small jade bottle, he stored the ten small jade bottles into his storage bag.
Each of these small jade bottles was engraved with a Gathering Spirit Array, ensuring that even if the Yang Essence Pills were stored inside for ten thousand years, they wouldn't lose their medicinal efficacy, making their shelf life very long.
Each of these small jade bottles alone was worth 500 low-quality spirit stones.
And if a Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pill were put up for auction, it would fetch at least several billion low-quality spirit stones.
And it would still be a situation where there was a price but no market, meaning it couldn't be bought even if one wanted to.
Increasing the hope of breaking through to the Golden Elixir stage by fifty percent meant that not only would one's status and position in the cultivation world rise a level, but their lifespan would also increase by about a thousand years compared to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Low-quality Yang Essence Pills could occasionally be found at auctions and in major pharmacies, but high-quality Yang Essence Pills of Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Grade were basically unavailable for purchase.
Wu Yumeng and her sister returned to the Wu family to receive the Yang Essence Pills. Under normal circumstances, as collateral relatives, the Wu family would only give them one Second Grade Yang Essence Pill each.
Even though Wu Xuemeng became a grandmaster-level alchemist, the Yang Essence Pills the Wu family gave them were only Fifth Grade, which at most increased the success rate by thirty percent.
It wasn't that the Wu family didn't want to give Wu Xuemeng higher quality Yang Essence Pills, but rather that the Wu family simply couldn't produce higher quality Yang Essence Pills.
If the Yang Essence Pills weren't distributed by the cultivation forces, any late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator at Great Perfection couldn't afford them on their own.
Family cultivators were slightly better off, as they were family members, and as long as their spiritual root aptitude was good enough, they would be given the pills for free. Those with lesser aptitude would need to make significant contributions to the family to receive them.
For late Foundation Establishment stage cultivators at Great Perfection in a sect, obtaining Yang Essence Pills was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
When a sect obtained Yang Essence Pills, they were typically divided among the Golden Elixir stage ancestors in the sect, who then distributed them to their descendants.
For late Foundation Establishment stage cultivators at Great Perfection without backgrounds in a sect, obtaining Yang Essence Pills was nearly impossible.
Descendants of Golden Elixir stage ancestors, even if they only had high-quality spiritual roots, would receive the Yang Essence Pills over someone with Earth Grade spiritual roots but no background.
Unless one could marry a descendant of a Golden Elixir stage ancestor, or become one, the Golden Elixir stage ancestor would not give them the Yang Essence Pills.
In the Spirit Creek Sect, several cultivators with Earth Grade spiritual roots and no background had married into or married descendants of Golden Elixir stage ancestors.
Of course, the Golden Elixir stage ancestors in various sects were also willing to have their descendants marry cultivators with Earth Grade spiritual root aptitude.
Because cultivators with Earth Grade spiritual root aptitude had a higher success rate of breaking through to the Golden Elixir stage when taking the Yang Essence Pills.
In the days that followed, Guo Feilong refined ten batches of Yang Essence Pills daily in the Forbidden Zone, each batch yielding ten pills, all Ninth Grade.
It took him a full 32 days to refine all 324 Earth Spirit Fruits into 3,240 Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pills.
If outsiders knew about such a large number of Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pills, even Divine Transformation-level cultivators would be tempted to kill and seize the treasure, traveling from afar to do so.
Guo Feilong hid 3,200 Yang Essence Pills underground in the Forbidden Zone, so that if anything happened to him outside, his family could still rise to prominence.
Currently, in the Guo family, only Wu Yumeng was eligible to break through to the Golden Elixir stage. Guo Feilong went to the courtyard where Wu Yumeng lived, and before entering, he heard Wu Yumeng playing with her newborn daughter.
"Give mommy another smile, tickle tickle, hahaha..." Inside the room, Wu Yumeng was tickling her child's armpits, and both mother and daughter were laughing happily.
At this moment, Guo Feilong pushed the door open and walked in.
