Cultivation begins with harvest.

During this waiting period, the moon-colored garments matured one after another.

As expected, the Moonlit Wings near the Fireblood Tortoise Shell Tree all transformed into Red Glow Moonlit Wings; while those left in the corner, which were usually cared for with a little Cold Water Spirit Liquid, became Blue River Moonlit Wings.

As for how to guide the White Stone Moon Rainbow, Chen Guang didn't have any good ideas. He could only rely on luck to make one or two Moon Rainbow plants with this attribute mature.

The second batch of eleven mature Moonlit Cloak plants are the same as the first batch, both being of the most basic, ordinary quality.

To improve the quality of Yue Ni Chang, the essential element is the spirit energy of flowers, which is something Chen Guang does not possess. However, it is confirmed that the reward for Yue Ni Chang is clothing.

Five red snow clothes, four blue dragon clothes, and two white silk clothes.

The Blue Dragon Robe is unaffected by moisture or dust. When activated by magic, it can form a purifying layer on the surface of the garment, filtering out toxins.

The white robe can conceal one's aura and erase any trace of one's movement; when activated with magical power, the effect is even better.

Chen Guang kept one of each of the three types of magical garments for himself, and put the rest on the shelves. Cultivators love to be presentable, and there is no shortage of market for such extremely durable clothes. They are practical, and although the style is ordinary, it is still exquisite enough to withstand the judgment of those who care about appearance. There is no reason why they will not sell. Chen Guang estimated that they would all be sold in just one night.

Before entering the noodle market, Chen Guang entrusted Qianzhenliao to Cao Fang to take care of his second son. Although the second son could endure being cared for overnight, Qianzhenliao could not afford to go hungry during this time.

I have to go to the Yanmian Market. It takes at least a dozen months for the Thousand Needle Wren to grow to adulthood. Does that mean I'll never go to Yanmian Market and Chunyuanju during that time?

In order to make it easier to ask Cao Fang to do things in the future, Chen Guang directly gave Cao Fang a white robe.

Sure enough, Cao Fang's attitude immediately became enthusiastic as soon as the gift was presented. The style of the gift was not particularly outstanding, but a magical garment was really hard to refuse.

The investment in Huotao was not profitable, so although Cao Fang could come up with a few thousand yuan, she couldn't afford to spend even a few hundred yuan on clothes.

The process of obtaining Chen Guang's copy of the Blood Sutra, which cost nearly a thousand yuan, was fraught with difficulties.

Having already escaped poverty thanks to the powerful rewards from the Light Group, Chen Guang hadn't really experienced the pain of struggling to accumulate wealth. He didn't need to cut back on spending; behind his continuous development of new cultivation plans was the constant creation of new sources of income.

After making all the necessary preparations, they entered the noodle shop.

The newly refined Crimson Fusion Pills, four sets of Soft Fire Needles, a Thousand Water Gourd, and a spirit weapon garment costing 1,500 Sui Yuan each ultimately brought Chen Guang around 70,000 Sui Yuan.

The Crimson Fusion Pill may have been too popular, and many cultivators have set their sights on this market. The price has dropped somewhat, with a bottle of Crimson Fusion Pill now costing 650 instead of 700. Chen Guang has also decided to refine a batch of Crimson Fusion Pills to catch up with the trend.

Without focusing on quality, he could make seven Crimson Fusion Pills per batch, and only fail about once every thirteen batches.

Chen Guang's profit margin is still larger than that of other alchemists. Unless the price of a bottle of Crimson Fusion Pill continues to drop to a point where it becomes unprofitable, Chen Guang will have to stop. Although he can still make a profit, the time cost is real.

Alchemy cannot be done simultaneously with visualizing the Azure Mountain Diagram. Furthermore, with my current skill level, I can only open about eight furnaces in one night. Considering all these factors, refining Crimson Fusion Pills will not be a sustainable source of income.

Chen Guang ran around the market and spent 27,000 silver dollars to buy enough for 100 batches. The raw materials for 100 batches would normally cost around 21,000 silver dollars.

The highly sought-after Crimson Fusion Pill, after a year of fermentation, is finally starting to be eroded. The price was stable for the previous year, probably because everyone was still preparing. With the arrival of winter, many cultivators who also practice pill cultivation can finally free up their time to earn some extra money.

After leaving Yanmian Market, I spent 7,500 silver dollars to buy the first set of fire-attribute spells in Xingfeng Market. I managed to buy the complete set of spells by going to both Cang Clan Fanglin Hall and the Scripture Pavilion.

During this time, he practiced alchemy when it was time to practice, and trained at the martial arts hall when it was time to train. Wei Donglai and Zhong Qi would also occasionally come to point out some obvious mistakes Chen Guang made.

In ten days, and seven nights of refining pills, a total of 401 Crimson Fusion Pills were produced, which was truly astonishing efficiency.

The price of Chirongdan also dropped from one bottle to a maximum of 625 Suiyuan per bottle. In actual transactions, Chen Guang quickly disposed of his inventory at a price of 615 Suiyuan per bottle, making 83,000 Suiyuan in one night.

The Qi Hall disciples' production of Crimson Fusion Pills in Snow Peak is definitely nearing saturation, but some shopkeepers are still making efforts to stockpile goods.

"I'm afraid the market will experience a major drop in less than ten days, and then it will find a truly long-term position for Chi Rong Dan amidst the recovery and decline in prices."

Chen Guang knew what was going on, so he rushed back to refine pills. Except for skipping the martial arts hall once, he maintained his own pace of pill refining. At first, he was indeed anxious, but as the pill refining progressed, his mindset calmed down and he made considerable progress.

The remaining materials were only enough to refine forty batches. After three failures, it only took five days to refine all of them, producing a total of 266 Crimson Fusion Pills.

The market price has reached 550 yuan per bottle.

Many amateur alchemists have long since stopped practicing. Only some of the fire workers in Yantang and alchemists with a deep understanding of the Crimson Fusion Pill are still persisting. After all, the price of raw materials has risen to 30,000 silver coins per hundred batches, and for some alchemists, this price is already causing them to lose money.

This is still because the Qingheng Sect has a large number of cultivators and a large enough market. Although the Chirong Pill caused quite a stir, it was not so big that it stirred up an unpredictable storm in the market.

This time, Chen Guang didn't sell any pills in the Yanmian Market. The advantage of the Yanmian Market was that the cultivators had strong purchasing power, but they were also shrewd. The market was already saturated. Although they didn't mind using price to save time, as long as they had enough, they weren't the kind of consumer pigs who would linger in the market. Apart from the Qi Hall disciples who deliberately hoarded some, the Crimson Fusion Pills in the Yanmian Market had long become unwanted commodities.

In the end, he sold it to Fanglin Hall of the Cang family for 560 yuan per bottle, earning 48,000 yuan. Cang Yunxian was amazed by Chen Guang's alchemy skills and became even more enthusiastic. It seemed that the remaining Skywing Butterfly Scale Powder was a sure thing. However, according to Fanglin Hall's usual style, it might take a roundabout approach. Perhaps the next time she went to Fanglin Hall, Cang Yunxian would "discover" new scale powder.

Looking back on the past two weeks of hard work, with an initial investment of over 20,000 yuan, Chen Guang directly earned a fortune of over 130,000 yuan.

It was incredibly profitable; if he wanted, he could still use the raw materials from 30,000 grains of rice for 100 furnaces to continue refining pills and still reap considerable rewards. However, it would significantly impact his cultivation plan, so he gave it up.

Normally, a first-level alchemist has a success rate of 30%, which means that out of 100 batches, they can only produce less than one-third of the pills Chen Guang produced. On average, each batch yields only about five pills, which still leaves enough profit margin. However, that applies to first-level alchemists. Most alchemists don't even have a 30% success rate, so they naturally have to retire from the market.

Chen Guang's proficiency with the Crimson Fusion Pill was exaggerated. The more he refined, the more pill formulas he could infuse, and the more proficient he became. As a result, Chen Guang could refine a hundred batches in half a month, while other alchemists would need more than a month to complete the task. The time cost was much greater, and the continuous pill refining was mentally exhausting.

It was only with these one or two kinds of pills that Chen Guang was able to reap such benefits. If the Crimson Fusion Pill were replaced with other pills, even simpler ones, Chen Guang's success rate would be less than 30%, at most a little over 10%. This unique advantage, given the opportune moment, naturally allowed him to take off once.

Moreover, the market is saturated. Once the Crimson Fusion Pill is refined again, its price will only drop further. Most cultivators have already reached the shore, and this trend is nearing its end.

Although the time was short, Chen Guang's visualization of the Azure Mountain Diagram had already yielded results, which was another major reason for widening the gap between him and other alchemists.

With over 100,000 yuan in his pocket, Chen Guang approached Cang Yunxian just two days later, hoping to get a good defensive magical artifact from her.
