The efficiency of alchemy dropped significantly with the loss of Wang Jianguo, the "strong labor."
Previously, they could refine three furnaces of pills a day; now, they could only manage two.
Hao Ren found this acceptable.
After all, with his current cultivation, he could only consume about thirty "Nine Dragon Vein Pills" daily; any more was beyond his capacity.
Refining about two hundred "Nine Dragon Vein Pills" each day was already sufficient for his needs.
After Hao Ren gave some away as favors to the cultivators of "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest," he still managed to accumulate over a hundred and fifty "Nine Dragon Vein Pills" daily.
It was enough!
More than enough!
Getting back to the matter at hand, let's continue discussing "Heaven Generates Water."
A significant portion of the "pink mist" emanating from the "Lovesick Tree seedling," besides what was absorbed by the "Dragon Vein Grass," was absorbed by the "Heaven Generates Water."
The "Heaven Generates Water" also began to "proliferate madly."
Currently, the "Heaven Generates Water" in the cave had transformed into a winding stream, gently flowing past all the plants.
Nourished by the "Heaven Generates Water," various plants grew even better and more luxuriant!
As an old neighbor to the "Heaven Generates Water," the "Top-Grade Spirit Spring Eye" was also doing quite well.
The "Top-Grade Spirit Spring Eye" could not absorb the "pink mist" from the "Lovesick Tree seedling," nor could it reproduce on its own.
However, the "Top-Grade Spirit Eye" was being infused by the profound aura of the "Phoenix Divine Tree sprout."
The "Phoenix Divine Tree sprout" was no ordinary thing; it had surpassed the "Innate level" and belonged to the "Primordial Treasures."
Even though it had only grown its first petal, the tiny sprout seemed to contain a new world within it.
Primordial power, the creation of heaven and earth.
The "Top-Grade Spirit Spring Eye" had been touched by wisps of "Primordial aura."
Now, the spiritual energy it gushed forth was of extremely high quality, seemingly surpassing some kind of limit.
Additionally, Hao Ren had also kept the "Oriental Star Chart" and the "Golden Page" continuously immersed in the "Top-Grade Spirit Spring Eye."
The pure spiritual energy of the "Top-Grade Spirit Spring Eye" constantly nourished these two supreme treasures.
The auras of these two treasures also continuously merged with the "Top-Grade Spirit Spring Eye," enhancing its quality.
Hao Ren was not entirely sure of the current state of the "Top-Grade Spirit Spring Eye," but he felt his cultivation speed skyrocket when he practiced near it.
Hao Ren's gaze then shifted to the "Oriental Star Chart" and the "Golden Page" soaking in the "Top-Grade Spirit Spring Eye."
The "Oriental Star Chart" was a fragment of an Innate Spirit Treasure, shattered by an ancient mighty figure.
Originally, there were seven "Innate Stars" within the "Oriental Star Chart."
Now, Hao Ren had collected two of them.
Once he collected the remaining five, the "Oriental Star Chart" could recover a portion of its Innate Spirit Treasure power!
However, even with only two "Innate Stars," the "Oriental Star Chart" could be considered a supreme treasure!
Setting aside its combat power for now.
Consider the benefits it brought.
Three seconds per month.
Hao Ren could activate the "Oriental Star Chart" to summon immense amounts of "Star Spiritual Light" and "Star Spiritual Sand."
The "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild," led by Qian Duoduo, could make a fortune by selling these two commodities.
As for the "Golden Page," it was even more formidable.
Hao Ren intended to engrave the "Tao Te Ching" onto the "Golden Page."
Currently, he had only etched the first stroke.
The "Golden Page" could already help Hao Ren capture "Innate Stars."
If Hao Ren could engrave more strokes, the "Golden Page" might be able to help him acquire all the "Innate Stars."
Unfortunately, the "Tao Te Ching" was too profound and mysterious, containing the ultimate principles of the Great Dao. With Hao Ren's current cultivation, etching the first stroke was already his limit.
Who knew when he would be able to engrave the second stroke.
Alas!
Hao Ren sighed inwardly and withdrew his gaze.
Back to the main topic, back to the main topic.
Let's continue discussing the "Auspicious Three Treasures."
These three medicinal herbs were not only nourished by the "Heaven Generates Water" and various "mysterious treasures" in the cave, but they also enjoyed the irrigation of the "miraculous green liquid diluted solution" produced by the "Heaven-Grasping Bottle" daily.
Xiao Long Nü was still in seclusion.
The irrigation work was currently handled by "Poison Lady" Peng Shiliuniang.
Peng Shiliuniang was good in every aspect, except that she needed a "swift kick."
To make her work diligently, the daily "whipping" of three meals was indispensable.
Hao Ren's daily life consisted of: taking medicine, cultivating, beating Doudou, *cough cough*, whipping Peng Shiliuniang.
Every time there was a "whipping," the "Auspicious Three Treasures" actively participated.
Ginseng: *slap slap slap*... Hehehehe...
Ganoderma: *slap slap slap*... Daddy...
He Shou Wu: *slap slap slap*... So good...
It strangely felt like they were "living a good life"!
Thus, the "Auspicious Three Treasures" grew robustly.
Recently, Hao Ren noticed that they had not only grown but were also slowly beginning to resemble humans more and more.
Would these three eventually grow into "people"?
Hao Ren was pondering this in his mind.
Outside the cave, Yun Zhenting and Qingfeng Zhenren's respectful voices sounded.
"Junior Yun Zhenting seeks to meet Senior!"
"Junior Qingfeng seeks to meet Senior!"
What were these two up to?
Hao Ren checked their "Friend Dynamics" and immediately understood.
He automatically switched to his "masterly expert mode."
His tone was deep and authoritative.
Maximum prestige.
"You may enter!"
"Disciple of the Deification Cult, First Generation" Yun Zhenting.
"Disciple of the Deification Cult, Second Generation" Qingfeng Zhenren.
They stood before Hao Ren, their eyes shining, faces filled with the expressions of "fangirls," very excited and worshipful!
Although they had interacted with Hao Ren at close range many times, every time they saw him, they could not control their respect and adoration for their senior.
Wow!
Senior is even more majestic!
And even more handsome!
(☆＿☆)
...
Hao Ren
（￣▽￣）～＊
Hahaha!
He could monitor their "psychological dynamics" through "Friend Dynamics" at any time.
Praising him for being handsome, for looking good!
Heh, discerning!
Hao Ren was in a great mood and spoke first.
"I already know about the matter you came to discuss with me; I agree with your idea! If you don't want to go, then don't go!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhenting and Qingfeng Zhenren were utterly shocked.
Heavens!
Senior is truly a divine being!
We haven't even said anything yet, and he already knows everything!
Awesome!
Amazing!
Truly awesome and amazing!
Yun Zhenting's eyes gleamed, and he said excitedly.
"I understand, Senior must have used a divination technique to deduce this!"
As the "First Generation Disciple of the Deification Cult," Yun Zhenting began his "daily deification."
Divination techniques were immensely profound and obscure, but Senior was surely proficient in them.
The "Second Generation Disciple of the Deification Cult," Qingfeng Zhenren, had surpassed his predecessor.
When it came to "deification," Qingfeng Zhenren would not be outdone.
He said, "With Senior's vast divine abilities, he doesn't need to divine; with just a single thought, he can glimpse the future..."
