The moment the Earth Gravity Refining Flask is taken out from Long Feng's Spatial Ring, he starts to slowly place the Cultivation Pellets close to the Flask's beaker, a sudden absorption started to appears from within the flask, as the ten Cultivation Pellets within Long Feng's hand vanished instantly. The Flask weight felt slightly heavier, but not to the rate that something could be poured out from within.
Long Feng hesitates not, as he continues to withdraw another ten Pellets once more, and repeating the same action all over again. One more time, the Flask absorbed all the pellets, leaving nothing remains in his palm. "Damn Flask! You actually ate twenty Cultivation Pellets and vomit nothing out from your damn body!" Long Feng is slightly pissed with the Earth Gravity Refining Flask's appetite, but since he already put in twenty of the Cultivation Pellets and he still has around 49,995 sets of ingredients within his ring, why not he continues? "I will see how greedy are you! Damn Flask!" Long Feng refine the Cultivation Pellet at one side while feeding the Flask as soon the pellets is refined.
Forty sets of ingredients are used, a total of 400 Upper-Rank First Grade Cultivation Pellets is "Eaten" by the Flask. The next forty sets are totally consumed as well. One more time of forty sets. This continues until the fifth time, where Long Feng had already used a total of 200 sets of ingredients to feed the Flask, a total cost of 2020 Upper-Rank Cultivation Pellets! A Low-Rank Cultivation Pellets worth 50 Spirit Bronze Coins when sold to the shop, while Upper-Rank ones could fetch the price of 200 Spirit Bronze Coins when sold, the total of this Flask had already greedily consumed had already cost Long Feng a hefty price of 400,400 Spirit Bronze Coins.
"I guess it is pointless to fight the amount of greed I have against the Earth Gravity Refining Flask." Long Feng sighed as he finally giving up on trying to take advantage on the Flask. Since he already trying halfway, why not complete it all and see what is so special about this product it would come out. Just like this, Long Feng spend a final total of 500 Sets of Ingredients, Leaving himself a total of 49,500 sets of ingredients is left within the Spatial Ring.
After the Flask is being fed with a total of 5,000 Pills, it finally gives a reaction Long Feng awaits for so long, and a piece of Bead as big as an eyeball slowly rolls out from the body of the flask. "Is this the Earthen Clay Stone?" Long Feng pick the piece of a bead to have a slight inspection. Out of his expectation, this piece of single Bead actually contains the Earth Elemental Essence comparable to a thousand Earth Forming Pill.
"Should I refine a Golden Jade Holy Pill to see if I could obtain the affinities towards one more kind of Element?" Long Feng remembered the fact he is holding a total of four Golden Jade Holy Pill in his hand. Since this matter is more important, Long Feng secretly head towards the Mansion Nan Jing Jing resides, as Long Feng invite her along to refine that Pill together. "Husband, do you have a choice for the remaining two Pills?" Nan Jing Jing asked.
"I actually have no candidates to give this two remaining Pills to, but I felt like I should keep one for my Master, while another one as a backup. Do you have anyone you wished to gift this Pill to?" Long Feng answers her question as he asked one as well. "Well, I felt that I want to give one of the Pill to my father. From the moment mother had been taken away and the whole General's Mansion had been demolished into rubbles, the father actually hates himself for being too weak. Although at the end of the day, an elder called as Yu-Hao came to open my father's mind, I understand my father personality too well."
"If father could have a hint of success in obtaining new affinities with another element, perhaps this will push his capability into even higher, forming a stronger inner cultivation base that allows him to learn the Heavenly Ascension School Arts even faster, so we could expect to save our mother earlier." Nan Jing Jing explains her current situation to Long Feng as an answer to his question. "If that's the case, here, Jing Jing, two Pill for you and two Pill for me. You are free to give it to anyone you want." Long Feng decides this way of splitting the share would be the best for both of them.
"Husband..." Nan Jing Jing felt like the tears in her eyes is going to fall from the corner, as she looks at how straightforward her husband could be. "What are you thinking? The Spatial Link Twin Grass Ring on our finger is already a confirmation regarding our relationship. Although we aren't old enough to start thinking about too far, no matter what, we will be always together in this, and won't be separated. Your worries are mine, while mine is the same for you."
Listening to such a deep words coming out from Long Feng, Nan Jing Jing felt a slight relief as her mind started to say, "My husband finally able to consider things in much more clearer matter." the duo soon came out from the mansion, and walked together towards where Long Feng's mansion is located, before the remaining eight finalist came out as well to meet each other for the first time, face to face.
"Oh, looks like all the top ten participants are here. That's great, I will speak this stuff out first. Everyone listen well, we from the Cloudy Jade City will make sure that we will be the biggest winner this time within the Thousand Herbal Garden." Zhang Pu and Chen Nan standing side by side, as Zhang Pu started to speak against the other eight. From their facial expression, it seems that he has some tricks behind him that causing him to have such a confidence.

"Zhang Pu, Chen Nan, you guys from the Cloudy Jade City had nothing much to be compared to us from the Xuan Wu Jade City, I will make sure that the death of fifteen of our Xuan Wu Jade City branch's disciples will be claimed from you two." Yue Ying and Huang Ying opened their mouth and start speaking. From their tone, it seems like the Cloudy Jade City branch had suppressed the Xuan Wu Jade City's disciples too much, even causing few of them to death before they were plundered until not a string of fabric remains.
"Bring it on, we from Cloudy Jade City never hesitate when it came to women, especially you, Hahaha!" Zhang Pu stares at Huang Ying's voluptuous chest that causes no man heads unturned as she walks pass, even when Nan Jing Jing heard about such comments couldn't help but to take a look at Huang Ying's beautifully proportion body that causes almost all men to drools about it.
"You perverted freak!" Yue Ying stands in front of Huang Ying and wields her weapon, as Chen Nan speaks along. Lady Yue Ying, although you got nothing much to be compared with Huang Ying, from your fiery attitude, I have a hint of wanted to ravage you and tame you into a little docile kitten as well, how about this? If you do not mind to behave as I wanted, I will make sure to not popping your cherry before you are married to me as one of my concubines." Chen Nan's word causes all the female within this ten person to feel disgusted.
"Husband!" Nan Jing Jing looked at Long Feng as she turned around. Before her eyes, Long Feng is standing straight with his sword on one side as he walked slowly towards the two from Cloudy Jade City, but then, a figure appears before the ten. "Hold your steps. Each respective City's participant will require going to your own gathering point because the opening to the garden will soon be starting. You are not allowed to solve any of your problem within this twenty mansion area, so keep your weapons and start moving!" an elder appears and started to pass on the messages before he left.
"Hahaha, I guess we could only settle thing within the Thousand Herbal Garden, I wonder how would you fare, this year's champion!" Chen Nan and Zhang Pu turned around and leaves, followed by those from Clear Jade City, Jade Ginseng City and lastly Xuan Wu Jade City along with Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing from Thunderburst Jade City. The remaining 90 participants follow the ten behind, as they went over towards their respective gathering point.
The Gate for Thunderburst Jade City's disciple to enter is actually required the group to walk pass the Tower of Knowledge, as Long Feng move towards the Great Elder Ao Luo as he greets the elder before he left. In the same time, Long Feng passed the piece of Earthen Clay Stone Bead to the elder as his gratitude for being taught by the elder for a short period of time, as well for the gratitude of being gifted with five Elemental Soul Crystal.
"Humph seems like this kid is growing up quite well." Great Elder Ao Luo is impressed with Long Feng's recent feat, as well in his recently obtained fame within the five Cities Bronze Pill Hall Branches. The group continues with their journey until they finally reach a mountain cave, with an entrance about three meters wide and seven meters in height. "Why would the Cave entrance required to be such a massive size? Is there anything unexpected happened before?" Long Feng questioned himself as he saw the size of the entrance.
"Alright, all disciple from the Thunderburst Jade City. You may discuss your plan upon entry, as well your arrangement in order. But remember, as you entered the Thousand Herbal Garden, you will be transported to a random location. So as your first task is to be safe and try to not come into arguments with other branch disciples. You all should already know, that half of your harvest within the Thousand Herbal Garden should be allocated towards your respective Pill Hall, with the exception from the top ten finalists."
"You will all keep one of this Inscription Charm in your possession. If you even came into dangerous situation, tear the charm so you would be transported out from the realm instantly. Remember, there will not only be Sentient Beings within the Prosperity Tribe, there will be Wooden Beast within the realm as you explore, so make sure you will enter in a piece and came out in the same way."
"That is all I want to say, Be safe and good luck, after you get your arrangement done, you will be started to enter the opening gate one by one, and after seven days in our realm, you will be forcefully sent out from the realm. Remember it well!" the elder finished his explanation as he throws an odd shape key towards the entrance, a few circle of magical inscriptions started to form the odd shape key as the centre, and soon, after the inscription circle is completed, a spiralling gate is opened, allowing only one person to enter the gate at one time.
"Brother Long Feng, Sister Jing Jing, please go first, and help make the Thunderburst jade City obtain the first place in the total treasure gathered as well, please!" a total of 19 disciples stands behind Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing, indicating that this time, a total of twenty-one disciples managed to enter the top 100 position, which means that there will be a higher chances of this branch will obtain quite a good results as the Realm opening periods end.
"Alright, I will go first, Jing Jing, be very careful on your way, and if we managed to communicate within the realm, let us quickly gather together with other disciples, alright?" Long Feng looked at Nan Jing Jing before he walked towards the entrance. The moment he steps into the Spiral Entrance, Long Feng felt that he had been transported into a colourful passage, and as he opened his eyes next, a vast scenery filled with trees and plantations is revealed in front of him, giving him a totally overwhelmed impression.
"Is this the rumoured Prosperity Realm? This is totally unbelievable!" Long Feng couldn't believe his eyes on what he was seeing at the moment, because no matter how hard he tried to look around, all he could see is forest and forest, with some moving things in between the trees and others. The whole area is surrounded with greeneries, and without wasting his precious time, Long Feng began to take his first step of journey with this Prosperity Realm.
