Chapter 2300: Shou Ye Heirs the Immortal Scripture! Changchun’s Bad News
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
...However, this "Crimson Mist Immortal Scripture" is an immortal scripture focused on the Grand Tao of Fire, which doesn’t match Wang Shouzhe’s attributes. If he forcefully inherits it, it’s not impossible; he could also receive the baptism of the immortal scripture and elevate his bloodline to the Saint level.
But doing so would be too wasteful.
Perhaps to the Yincha Demonic God, she merely wants Wang Shouzhe to enhance his bloodline, laying the foundation for the future Demon Lord’s "possession", but how could Wang Shouzhe think like the Yincha Demonic God?
The family has many fire cultivators, such as his fourth sister Wang Luotong, the Seventh Elder Wang Shouye, the Eighth Elder Wang Shouming, and many younger ones with fire element bloodlines.
For example, if Wang Ningxi were to rely on the immortal scripture in the future, there needs to be one for fire and one for water.
But there’s only one scripture, so priorities must be set.
After a brief consideration, Wang Shouzhe instructed, "Someone, send a message to Wang Shouye immediately, have him come see me at once."
"Yes, Family Head."
Outside the courtyard, the head of household received the order and immediately went to send the message.
The Wang family has now mastered the technology of instant communication.
This is a complex structure of artifact refining, which includes the coverage of energy fluctuation towers, instruments for sending, transmitting, receiving, and translating energy frequencies, and even features like anti-eavesdropping encryption!
However, due to current technical limitations, the energy fluctuation receiving and translating devices of the instant communication system are still quite bulky, cannot be carried around, and can only be installed at fixed locations to receive and translate energy waveform signals.
But compared to its convenience in communication, this is not considered a significant drawback.
As long as enough energy fluctuation towers are built to send and relay energy signals, with a wide enough coverage area, messages can instantly reach within the signal range.
The birth of this system is naturally thanks to the increasingly numerous elite researchers in the Wang Clan Research Institute.
Despite Wang Shouzhe being a transmigrator, he only has a basic understanding of most techniques. In the eyes of the researchers at the Wang Clan Research Institute, the Family Head is merely "imaginative" and has a rather divergent thinking style.
In the words of some "straight-talking" researchers, the Family Head doesn’t understand a thing except occasionally guessing a research direction correctly.
Alright then, let it be.
After all, as long as there is instant communication, Wang Shouzhe doesn’t mind whether the principle is the same as on Earth or not.
Most industries under the Wang family have now installed an instant communication system, and the Alchemy Department where Wang Shouye usually stays is no exception.
Upon receiving the message, Wang Shouye rushed to Wang Shouzhe’s small courtyard immediately.
"Fourth brother, what urgent matter requires my presence?" Wang Shouye asked respectfully as he saluted.
After 150 years, Wang Shouye is now over 380 years old, and his demeanor has become more mature and composed, even growing some facial hair, giving a rather sage-like appearance.
Yet, the powerful aura emanating from within him is striking. Over these years, during his focus on alchemy and cultivation, Wang Shouye’s cultivation base has reached the third level of the Divine Power Territory.
"Sit down and have some tea before we talk," Wang Shouzhe said as he personally poured tea. "Haven’t you been busy with alchemy recently?"
"Fourth brother, currently, refining 7th rank Dan medicine is no longer of high pressure for me, and the success rate is very high," Wang Shouye replied while sipping the tea. "My main focus is on eighth-grade immortal pills, especially the Reborn Immortal Pill of the eighth grade, which has a low success rate when refined singly. Therefore, after each refinement, I analyze the experience and lessons meticulously before attempting the second batch."
The main ingredient for the Reborn Immortal Pill is the Millennium Stone Lotus. Refining a batch of Reborn Immortal Pills requires a whole plant, and with various other materials, the cost of a furnace can easily reach tens of millions of Immortal Crystals. If five pills are produced, it’s break-even, while six pills yield profit.
However, in reality, no alchemist worldwide has been able to break even when refining Reborn Immortal Pills singly, they generally incur losses.
The problem is the scarcity and slow maturation rate of the main ingredient, the Reborn Immortal Pill. Despite the fact that the Immortal Dynasty has been cultivating them on a large scale, there are only a few mature ones every several decades.
With fewer refining chances, the proficiency naturally grows slowly.
"Oh, you’re just too cautious," laughed Wang Shouzhe. "We still have some eighth-grade pill materials at home, plus, with my improved catalysis capabilities, why be so stingy? I told you since you were young that alchemy is all about practice. Losing money initially is just an investment, and you’ll rake in the profits later."
"But Fourth brother..." Wang Shouye was almost in tears, "Since I began learning alchemy at the age of ten, I’ve personally been running at a loss. Every time I master a type of Dan medicine and plan to earn some money, you insist I aim for higher grade proficiency. You keep saying ’later, later,’ yet I am ranked among the top five alchemists in the world, isn’t that later enough? Do you know what others call me? ’Money-Losing Pill Saint Wang Shouye.’
Wang Shouye felt utterly exhausted.
He doesn’t want to be a spendthrift, he wants to earn money for the family, but as his alchemist rank rose, his losses increased. Fortunately, the entire Alchemy Department is profitable, and very much so. Otherwise, Wang Shouye would feel ashamed before his ancestors and wish to find a hole to crawl into.
"Seventh elder, don’t worry," Wang Shouzhe consoled, "The family isn’t lacking money now, and the Alchemy Department is quite profitable. Your main task is still to expedite your proficiency in various eighth-grade immortal pills; losing a little money is nothing. Time is the most crucial thing."
