章 131: Pill Genius Zhang Did the Wrong Thing (8)
In that earlier half a month of seclusion, Zhang Wu Ji did many, but gain too few. The hundred Advance-Quality Blood Lotus were wasted in his Pill Forging, and out of luck, he can only focus on preparing the Metal Ingots and sell them for his fund.
But the struggle failed to make him balance his loss from the Pill Forging.
Left with no choice, Zhang Wu Ji can only wait for his next supply of Medicinal Herbs getting ready while he focuses on his cultivation. The additional materials such as his Flying Silver Stakes a produced en mass to fit Sheng's requirement of 9,951 times of upgrade.
Although it was the same item upgrade we're talking about, it seems that Sheng cultivates using this method.
Still, it was a slow process because based on what she said, every 1,000 strands of Warrior Qi spent on upgrading the Treasure, she obtained a strand of Warrior Qi. And at the same time, it was a disturbance because she only got between 200 Strands of Fighter Qi, 3 strands of Warrior Qi, and between two thousand to a little bit more Inner Qi to be used.
This tells Zhang Wu Ji what he supposed to do.
UPGRADE.
Based on his cultivation strength of a 13th Stage Inner Qi Warrior, he can reach the limitation of +18 cap, but of course, this is all depending on his luck at the end of the day.
How much has he spent earlier before he conquered the whole Seven Star County? The amount may not exceed his current wealth, but the situation is similar.
He's poor. Lack of resources. Lack of everything.
Still, nothing beat him in the term of self-sustaining. The fifteen days before this was used to not only consolidating his System Realm and the numbers of Silver Carapace Bees but also including the taming process to handle the two Scaled Serpents.
Although the two possess a hint of bloodline from the Dragon True Race, it was, in fact, less than a drop of blood within an ocean. Unless they met with some unexplainable luck, the possibility of them reaching Half-Step Soldier Stage is low.
As for their kind, it seems that after taming them properly, Zhang Wu Ji gets to know about their origin from both Sheng and the Jade Lord.
They're known as Obsidian Serpent Warrior. Born at between 11th to 12th Stage, they usually grow into adulthood in the period of four to five years, depending on how quick they grow. They got two evolution, where each has their own specialty.
Obsidian Swift Serpent Warrior, a quick assassin Mature Serpent, or Obsidian Mother Serpent, well-known for their top defensive ability above himself amongst the Warrior Tier. The only bad parts about their Maturity Evolution are one is too fragile, another is too slow.
Still, the weaknesses are covered up if they went to the Soldier Tier evolution.
But what was good about taking care two of the Obsidian Serpent Warrior is the Scales of Pure Obsidian they're shedding once every month. The scales came from them is comparable to the Obsidian Crystal's Quality one can mine from the Mineral Veins scattered around the continent.
"I guess I'll take some time to concoct the Sun-Facing Fruits first." Zhang Wu Ji took a red colored fiery cauldron from his Spatial Ring. From its appearance, this piece of Pill Refining Treasure is created with great effort.
The outer layer of the Red Pill Cauldron is engraved with beautiful engravings, where it was following the way Jade Lord instructed. As for the thickness of this cauldron, its three times thicker than the Jade and Onyx Cauldron.

"That's good. If I use this cauldron to forge all the available Sun-Facing Fruit into proper Qi Sensing Pills, I can then upgrade them into Qi Accumulating Pills." Zhang Wu Ji knows about it earlier as he was the master that crafted this cauldron.
Without further ado, he prepared the cauldron. As the Ruby Blasting Cauldron's requirement of heat is too strong, Zhang Wu Ji has no other choices but to use Mortal Flames provided by the Seven Heaven Sect.
With the cauldron is ready, he prepares the Sun-Facing Fruit in the form of two fruits every set. With the prerequisite requirement is completed, he started the Pill Forging process.
What was worrying is not about his skills in forging the Qi Sensing Pills, but the Ruby Blasting Cauldron itself. As it was a demanding cauldron to start with, Zhang Wu Ji's procedure in handling the Sun-Facing Fruit has to speed up by 20% for the sake of not burning his ingredient.
Of course, they're no correct or wrong steps here. The moment a Pill Master comprehended the essential mastery of the Pill he's forging, they're capable of crafting the Pill without following any steps.
Soon, he completes the forging process of the fifty sets of the ingredient. Each Sun-Facing Fruit can be forged into ten pills, and a hundred of them means he added a total of Ten Thousand Qi Sensing Pills.
It took him one minute for the cauldron to upgrade the hundred Qi Sensing Pills into a Qi Accumulating Pills. Ten minutes later, Zhang Wu Ji completed his easiest pill forging assignment. He took a five minutes rest and continues with the second assignment, forging the Blood Nourishing Pill.
Half a month ago, Zhang Wu Ji failed in his ninety attempts, and succeed ten times. In total, it was a 10% success chance. But the ten success attempts yield him no fruit of labor, as all of them were graded as under qualifying pills.
But that is when his cultivation is weaker. Now, he's a 13th Stage Inner Qi Warrior with only 45 strands more to 14th stage. With better cultivation strength, the possibility of success in Forging Pills will be increased as well.
"Alright, a very great start!" Zhang Wu Ji confidently separates the seeds within the Blood Lotus and extract the heart from the seed. As the first Blood Lotus only have enough extracts for 7 pills, Zhang Wu Ji only work with seven seeds and not more.
The forging process this time is more efficient than before due to his excessive amount of Warrior Qi inside his body. This allows him to maintain the supply of Qi as he works with the essence and Heart from the seed.
Soon, the firing process starts. Except the first and second steps are slightly different, the others are the same as usual. The firing process ends with a successful attempt, where seven Blood Nourishing Pill group together at the bottom of the cauldron.

"The status is almost the same except a little different here and there... But of course, seven successful pills worth about 105 Qi Accumulating Pills. Luckily, the Blood Lotus is self-grown, not purchased. Or else, my total profit will be only roughly 5 Qi Accumulating Pills."
"Doesn't this means that unless I created a proper name for myself in the profession of a Pill Master, or planting my own Medicinal Herb Farm, it will be difficult to earn money in this profession?" Zhang Wu Ji's concern is related to the value of money he'd earn from the effort.
But he failed to understand that what he was doing now is counted as the bottommost of the 2nd-Tier Pill Forging. While Sheng is yet to remind him about the roof-shattering prices for the Warrior Marching Pill and Spiritual Rebirth Pill, this guy already started to think about how difficult it is to earn more money.
"Guess I'll plant more Sun-Facing Fruit Tree so I can forge hundred thousands of the Qi Sensing Pills." Zhang Wu Ji sighed. Soon, he continued with the Forging Process and came out with 70 success and 30 failures attempt. In total, he earned 500 Advance Blood Nourishing Pill, where it will worth about 7,500 Qi Accumulating Pills at least.
"BAM BAM BAM!"
"Head Disciple Zhang, please come out for a moment." Liu Xin Xin knocked the door to his Pill Forging Workshop.
"I'm coming," he responded. After making sure that his look is presentable enough, he opened the door.
"Anything important?" Zhang Wu Ji asked.
"I'm leaving. I thought I'll let you know about it." Liu Xin Xin tells him about her leaving his Private Residence. Because her residence is located at the bottom of the hill, she'll have to walk for a twenty minutes distance before reaching home.
"Why not you stay here together with me?" once again, he makes thing too direct without knowing what the opposite sex will think.
"To... Together?"
"We're still not engaged... It's not convenient at all..." Liu Xin Xin embarrassedly replied to him.
"Do we need to be engaged before you move to my guest room? There's a total of fifteen rooms here, you can choose any of them and stay here to cultivates." Zhang Wu Ji added.
"GUEST ROOM!" she finally noticed that she assume too much about it... But from that disappointment, she exhaled a deep breath.
"Based on how dull he's in a relationship, how can it possible that he knows something about the do and don'ts between a male and a female... I'll let you go this time," she expresses in her heart.
"Fine, I'll move to your residence and take one of the Guest Room. But you'll have to walk me back to collect my belongings before I live here." Liu Xin Xin said.
"Sure. I can take the opportunity to walk around." Zhang Wu Ji added.
"Walk around... Pfft!"
"Just say that you're afraid to went missing again..." Liu Xin Xin added before they made a trip back to her place.
While they're on their way, Liu Xin Xin exchanged what she understands about the Vein Listener Art and see how Zhang Wu Ji comprehends the content of the Art.
But with UPGRADE System, Zhang Wu Ji's comprehension is a 100% accurate, where it made his share of explanation matches accurately and straight to its point.
This kind of godly comprehension surpass what she understands and pull her further to learn the Vein Listener Art. But while the two of them conversed as they walk, a person hiding behind the shadow, stalking the two of them and what they're doing.
"Zhang Wu Ji! How dare you tried to land your hand on the woman I like!" the silhouette stares at the two of them like a pair of adultery partners.
And from somewhere far from the Southern Imperial Kingdom.
"Ah!" a female suddenly lost her concentration in the middle of the fight. But given the talent of hers and the depth of her Martial Art comprehension, she escaped from the terrible situation easily.
"Goddaughter, what happened?" a man in War Armor asked.
"Nothing, godfather," she replied his question before continuing with the fight.
"Finish the fight!" the man in War Armor ordered.
"Forgive me, my lady."
"Imperial Protection Fist!" an attack of a half-step Inner Qi Soldier came closer to the female, but it failed to surprise her.
"Northern Conqueror Palm!" a palm made from Warrior Qi descends from above and press the attacker down flat on the ground. Although the differences between them are 5 stages, it did not stops her from overpowering her opponent.
"Good! Return to the Camp!" the man in War Armor ordered before leaving.
"Zhang Wu Ji, you better not associate with some sneaky fox and slutty hares back there, or I'll cut your root personally." Guan Qing Han speaks as she done her Green Jade Armor and ride on top of a Flying Serpent.
