Streams of pure origin qi rushed up from deep within Fang Han's glabella, turning into individual "Origin Infant Pills" as they flowed around his fingers.
Moreover, the quality of these "Origin Infant Pills" was even a bit higher than those of the Taiyi Sect. The tiny infant inside seemed to have breathing and a heartbeat, which was the result of flowing magic power, possessing spirituality.
Seeing the Origin Infant Pills refined successfully one by one, Jialan and the others were staring blankly.
"This is impossible… absolutely impossible, even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice…" Fang Qingxue shook her head.
One must know that no matter what kind of pill it is, refining even a single bead requires massive amounts of origin qi medicinal materials, as well as a pill furnace for purification.
Especially for a Human-tier supreme grade pill like the "Origin Infant Pill," without medicinal materials, no matter how high one's divine abilities are, they cannot refine it; even a clever housewife cannot cook without rice.
However, Fang Han could refine it without needing medicinal materials. He managed to "cook without rice"!
Of course, this relied on the Immortal Realm's spiritual qi extracted by the "World Tree"! Condensing into pills. The Immortal Realm's spiritual qi can only be extracted by Longevity Realm experts. This origin qi is pure, vast, and the source of myriad qis. Using it to condense pills is the absolute best, and it requires no purification. Because the purification process is converting medicinal materials into origin qi, and then assembling them.
While the Immortal Realm's origin qi is itself already qi.
Others forage for medicinal materials everywhere, purifying them by the thousands or tens of thousands of catties, running the pill furnace non-stop. Yet Fang Han, with a mere wave of his hand, could extract the Immortal Realm's origin qi from the World Tree to condense pills! What kind of difference is this?
In the Taiyuan Immortal Palace, the World Tree could only extract a tiny bit of spiritual qi, only enough to barely sustain his own cultivation, fundamentally having no surplus to refine pills.
But outside, the Immortal Realm's origin qi cascaded down. That surplus Immortal Realm's origin qi could refine massive amounts of "Origin Infant Pills"!
After Fang Han slew the three major disciples Yao Dian, Xia You, and Yu Fen, he seized the Heavenly Lion Great Method, as well as their "Hundred-Treasure Pouches," which contained the method for refining the "Origin Infant Pill."
The Taiyi Sect's "Origin Infant Pill" consolidates the foundation and cultivates the origin. After consumption, the essence blood within the body groups together, holding onto an egg shape, rapidly transforming; it is the best food for Qi Refiner cultivators. However, refining it is also very troublesome, far from being able to benefit the entire sect.
If the Taiyi Sect could have all its disciples consume "Origin Infant Pills," they probably would have unified the Xuanhuang Prime World long ago.
The Taiyi Sect had disciples, both outer and inner, numbering in the millions, ten times more bloated than the Yuhua Sect. For one person to have one pill a day means millions of pills; even genuine immortals could not refine that many. Moreover, no immortal would be willing to act as a coolie for them.
The prosperity and strength of a sect do not look at how wondrous the sect's Dao techniques are, nor do they look at how formidable the headmaster is, but rather look at whether the resources are abundant or not! This is exactly like dynasties raising armies and troops in the secular world.
For an empire or dynasty, whether its army is powerful primarily depends on money and provisions! With ample money and provisions, soldiers have meat to eat at every meal, grow physically strong, and receive enough nutrition every day for drills; then it would be difficult for them not to be powerful.
Similarly, if the disciples of an immortal dao sect every single person has supreme grade spiritual pills providing bountiful origin qi for cultivation, they will certainly advance by leaps and bounds. This is an universally applicable truth.
Cultivating the Dao, although emphasizing "comprehension," if one cannot eat their fill of "meals" and lacks sufficient origin qi, no amount of comprehension will be real. The world is a material world, and spirit must also rely on matter.
Actually, the mysterious person inside the "Taiyuan Immortal Palace" noticed long ago that the most powerful thing on Fang Han's body was not the Five Hells King Cauldron, nor the demonic blade Blood Firmament, nor even the Yellow Spring Diagram, but rather the "World Tree."
"Senior Sister Qingxue, Hua Tiandu possesses the Dao lineage of the Immortal Venerable Panwu Great Strength, thus occupying the central position. Earning the respect of numerous disciples relies on what? Half is on powerful magic power, while the other half is on massive amounts of pills to win over people's hearts. Now I can refine large quantities of Origin Infant Pills at any time! Relying on this to win over hearts and gather large numbers of disciples to defect to me. Currently, as a single person, we cannot rival Hua Tiandu, but if we two join forces, everyone will have no choice but to be apprehensive of us by three points!"
Fang Han looked at Fang Qingxue's astonished gaze, feeling somewhat proud in his heart. He knew Fang Qingxue wanted to make trouble for him, and now he could only use this move to defuse it, tying Fang Qingxue firmly to his own war chariot to jointly oppose Hua Tiandu.
Indeed, if the two joined forces, let alone their strength vastly increasing within the Yuhua Sect, even outside, it would be enough to roam unhindered across a region.
"You can truly refine Origin Infant Pills in massive quantities? There should be a limit, right. Otherwise, it would be too heaven-defying. Our Yuhua Sect becoming the number one immortal dao sect would not be impossible." Jialan pondered for a moment, proving herself to be profound, concluding that the matter was unlikely, and Fang Han must certainly have used some clever trick.
If he truly could cleanly and continuously produce Origin Infant Pills, allowing the hundreds of thousands of disciples in the sect to consume them daily, then within ten years, thousands of Divine Ability Realm figures would definitely be born!
"This…"
Fang Han secretly praised Jialan for her meticulous mind. He did a calculation and found that although the Immortal Realm's origin qi inhaled and exhaled by the "World Tree" every day was massive, condensing into pills was not endlessly unceasing. Excluding what his own cultivation required, he could refine over three hundred Origin Infant Pills a day.
"I can refine three hundred and thirty-six Origin Infant Pills a day."
"Ah!" As soon as Fang Han's words came out, Jialan, Fang Qingxue, and the several female true disciples were shocked once again.
Jialan looked around: "Let's go, we will go to the pill room to speak. Keep this matter of yours, Fang Han. It absolutely must not be spread out, otherwise, I am afraid people from the demonic paths and the immortal dao will all plot against you! What magic treasure did you exactly obtain? Capable of cooking without rice?"
The group arrived in the pill room, sitting cross-legged around the Five Hells King Cauldron.
The "Five Hells King Cauldron" was placed on the earth vein, having not yet truly been spurred. As soon as Fang Han sat down, his hands moved sequentially, and a series of divine abilities flew out, striking onto the King Cauldron.
This King Cauldron immediately jolted, causing the entire Samsara Peak to tremble violently alongside it. Subsequently, beneath the King Cauldron, a patch of mountain rock suddenly caved in, forming a large hole.
From within the large hole, extremely blazing flames sprayed out, completely pouring into the King Cauldron. Borrowing the power of these flames, some of the King Cauldron's grand arrays began to operate slowly.
Following that, the entire "Samsara Peak" radiated brilliant light. Streaks of flowing light soared up, the air circulated rhythmically, and a nameless majesty shot straight into the heavens. Among the mountain peaks of the entire true disciples, it could be considered outstanding.
Fang Han's action successfully communicated with the earth vein, drawing the earth fire upwards.
Elder Heavenly Work dispatching Great Strength Divine Demons to help Fang Han build this Samsara Peak was not done arbitrarily; instead, there was a passage communicating with the earth fire. Earth fire is a pure origin qi that can drive many things, especially the forging of pills.
With Fang Han communicating with the earth fire, tracing his divine sense faintly down along this passage, he could see deep underground, endless magma surging, massive flames.
Countless mountain peaks and earth veins communicated with the underground magma, extracting the flame power within it.
"At critical junctures, true disciples of the Yuhua Sect, sitting atop their mountain peaks, can use their pill furnaces to extract underground flames to condense into a fire dragon to face enemies." Exercising dharma formulas, Jialan drew it slightly, and that fierce flame spraying out from underground flew out from the cauldron, forming a fire python stretching ten zhang long. It circled the Samsara Peak three times before flying back into the cauldron.
"The longer a true disciple sits guarding their mountain peak, the deeper their communication with the earth fire, and the stronger the fire dragon emitted. This relies on geographical advantage, not one's own true qi. Because beneath the mountain peak lies a fire net grand array." A female true disciple explained.
Fang Han looked at this female true disciple. Her eyes were deep green, faintly flashing with emerald fire. What she cultivated was surprisingly the "Emerald Flame Seven Cultivation Mans," a fire element divine ability, just like Jin Shitai. However, her realm was much higher than Jin Shitai's; she had surprisingly already successfully cultivated Daoist gang qi, being an expert at the third realm of divine abilities, the Origin Gang Realm!
While speaking, there was also a degree of unconcealable majesty; clearly, she normally was a character whose word was law as well.
Of the other two female true disciples, one possessed thick magic power, as majestic as the great earth, towering like a mountain. Fang Han knew right away that this female disciple cultivated the "Mountain Refinement Form Gang"; her magic power actually reached the Yin-Yang Realm! Just like that Yao Dian.
The last female true disciple possessed a sharp aura, sword light frequently flashing past her eyes. What she cultivated was the Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi, and she was entirely not inferior to that Shilongzi.
These three female true disciples were all remarkable characters, no wonder they were together with Jialan accompanying the Yuhua Sect Headmaster to rescue Fang Han.
"These three are Junior Sister Ye Piaoling, Junior Sister Luo Shui, and Junior Sister Sha Qingmei respectively. They are all outstanding figures among our Yuhua Sect disciples. The Headmaster Master sending us to rescue you this time was also to have Long Xuan and the three junior sisters form a five-element cycle with me, transmuting into a primal chaos unified qi. To assist Junior Sister Fang Qingxue in spurring the Indestructible Lightning Talisman!" Jialan explained.
"So that's how it is." Fang Han nodded, "Good, since the various junior sisters rescued me, you are also trusted individuals." While speaking, countless wood qi condensed anew into a book, recording twenty-nine divine abilities again: "In this book, I have recorded twenty-nine divine abilities; please commit them to memory."
While everyone perused the book, Fang Han tossed the Monster God's palm into the Five Hells Pill Furnace.
A portion of the Monster God's palm remained, requiring a very long period of refining before it could be transformed into pills, or treasure artifacts. This could take up to eight or ten years, or at least three to five years.
"Producing three hundred and thirty-six Origin Infant Pills out of thin air in a single day! This is truly too astonishing! Then Junior Brother, what are you going to do now? Are you truly going to distribute them gratuitously to the disciples of the sect?" Jialan turned the conversation back to the main topic.
"Naturally, priority supply must be given to disciples who are absolutely loyal to us! For instance, the Jialan Society!" Fang Han said: "To tell the truth, I possess a magic treasure capable of endlessly extracting the Immortal Realm's spiritual qi and condensing pills! However, only our trusted confidants present here know of this matter; it shall not be revealed to others."
"Very well, since you, Fang Han, have such methods, I will let bygones be bygones regarding past matters. A thing like the Origin Infant Pill is also useful to me." Fang Qingxue calculated for a while. Fang Han's fortune of this caliber was truly too heaven-defying.
"Good! I will refine the pills first! Jialan, Senior Sister Qingxue, why don't you refine that Monster God's palm. Wait ten days to a half month until I have accumulated a massive amount of Origin Infant Pills! We can then use them to buy and win over hearts among the disciples."
Rumble!
As massive amounts of the Immortal Realm's origin qi rolled down, Origin Infant Pills were successfully refined one by one. Ten days later, they began to circulate and be granted out, instantly kicking up a massive uproar among all the disciples of the entire Yuhua Sect…
