Everybody is Kung Fu Fighting, While I Started a Farm - Chapter 501: The Pellet Refinist of the Chan

Chapter 501: The Pellet Refinist of the Chan Sect Won’t Do!

“Body Honing Pellets?”

The Hollow Jade Temple elites all traded glances.

The Body Honing Pellets were very common that the effects of those brewed by the Hollow Jade Palace would only achieve the same effects—it would do nothing more than allowing an immortal whose body has fallen apart to rapidly rebuild.

Therefore, the Body Honing Pellets were considered the least valuable among all rank-seven pellets.

One was worth just around 300 immortal crystals, and ten was 3,000, the latter amount allowing the average Golden Immortal to rapidly rebuild his immortal form and regenerate up to peak condition. Without it, relying solely on the world’s energies to recover would take over decades.

Therefore, most immortals would not use the Body Honing Pellets to recover their immortal forms unless they had to, since decades was merely the period of a secluded meditation session.

That was also how the Body Honing Pellets gained the infamy of being the chicken feed among rank-seven pellets.

“We here at the Hollow Jade Temple sell Body Honing Pellets at 300 immortal crystals each. If you need them, Mister Jiang, you could buy it at a lowered…”

The True Habitant of Yu Ding had barely started when Jiang He cut him short with a wave, saying, “We’ll just stick to three hundred immortal crystals, since refining Body Honing Pellets need both human resources and physical resources. I wonder how many could the Hollow Jade Temple offer?”

“Do you really want as many as you could get?”

The True Habitant of Yu Ding could not help asking, and was left perplexed at Jiang He’s nod.

Wasn’t Jiang He supposed to have come from the homeworld?

How many years had it only been since the homeworld’s revival?

How did he come to possess such wealth?

Still, they understood that Jiang He must have had his providence since he could rise so far in just two years.

The True Habitant of Yu Ding did not press the subject further and said, “We don’t have that many Body Honing Pellets in stock since it is a rank-seven immortal pellet with a troublesome production process and consumes plenty of resources, not to mention that the demand for it is very low. However, we could make a batch as soon as we can if you need them, Brother Jiang He.”

Jiang He’s eyes lit up and he became interested right then. “How many can you make?”

He had tested it before—a single Body Honing Pellet earned him fifty thousand Farm Points.

And being one of the important factions in the Three Teachings, would it not be a simple matter to get up to five hundred million Body Honing Pellets to ascend up to Demi-Saint?

“The Hollow Jade Temple has a legacy of untold years and innumerable masters of pellet refinement. If we could have them cook the pellets together with their disciples, we just need ten years to cook up to a million Body Honing Pellets.” There was some smugness showing on the True Habitant of Yu Ding’s face.

Immortal pellets were difficult to cook… that is, for people not in the profession.

But the Chan Sect did have a background in that pellet refinement.

Aside from that enigmatic master, who could beat the Chan Sect in the Three Realms?”

Jiang He was dumbstruck.

His eyes, which had just lit up, darkened. At a loss for words, he said, “Ten years for a million?”

A single Body Honing Pellet earned him fifty thousand Farm Points, and a million would only earn him only fifty million.

What could he do with that?

Moreover, according to that progress, the Hollow Jade Temple had to cook pellets for 200 years so that he could ascend up to Demi-Saint…

200 years?

That was too long!

After all, the Nether River Patriarch had his eyes on Jiang He.

Didn’t that mean he had to live on guard every day for 200 years?

After musing to himself for a long while, Jiang He said, “That’s too slow and I can’t wait that long… Brother Yu Ding, how many Body Honing Pellets do you have available? I’ll take everything… and can I have a look at the recipe?”

“Well…”

The True Habitant of Yu Ding was rather hesitant and said, “We need to make inventory to find out how many we have. As for the recipe… We, the Hollow Jade Temple, have a unique recipe, and I need to ask my master to make a decision.”

Hence, a day later, both Jiang He and Wang Hou showed up at Hollow Jade Temple.

Staring at the immortal residence hidden in the clouds and sensing the cultivation environment, Jiang He could not help sighing in wonder. “This truly is a holy land for cultivation… cultivating here would almost be as effective as cultivating in my farm.”

Wang Hou stared at Jiang He for seconds as he retorted inwardly.

Jiang He can really brag!

This is a Bodhimanda of Saints, and you’re comparing it to your Grotto-Heaven?

After entering the Hollow Jade temple, they were arranged to stay in a separate courtyard. Still, it was lucky that the people of the Hollow Jade Temple did not hear Jiang He, or there would have been unnecessary misunderstandings.

That was when a laughter could be heard—it was the True Habitant of Taiyi approaching on a cloud.

In his Daoist robes, white hair, and white beard, he had the air of an old wise man, though the only flaw to him was his rather red nose.

“Brother Jiang He, Brother Wang Hou…”

He took out Spatial Ring as he entered the yard, saying, “Here is 130,000 Body Honing Pellets. Please take a look.”

Jiang He appeared utterly disgusted at those words. “You Chan Sect only has 130,000 Body Honing Pellets despite having stood for untold eons? Your pellet refinists really won’t do!”

The True Habitant of Tai Yi was left choking.

After paying the cost for those pellets, Jiang He thought about it and asked, “Brother Tai Yi, can I meet the Primeval Lord of Heaven to discuss this matter? Your sect cooks them too slowly to keep up with my demand, so I wish to buy the recipe and cook it myself… don’t worry, I wouldn’t share the recipe with others, and I could give you a hundred million Body Honing Pellets for free after I make them.”

“Huh?”

The True Habitant of Tai Yi was quite amused. Being a superior being who had lived for countless eras, he naturally knew a little about pellet refinement, and therefore explained, “Brother Jiang He, the materials needed to cook Body Honing Pellets aren’t actually that hard to find. With our inexhaustive stores of medicinal ingredients, we could make over hundreds of millions of Body Honing Pellets—even so, the brewing process is extremely complex, and the pellet refinists have to work a month without rest or sleep to cook one cauldron of a hundred Body Honing Pellets… that is why it would take ten years to cook a million Body Honing Pellets even if every master pellet refinist in the Chan Sect is put to work. How could you match our sect’s full power alone?”

“You don’t have to worry about that, True Habitant of Tai Yi.”

Jiang He said with a faint smile, “To tell the truth, I’m a master of pellet refinement myself. I’m quite confident I could shorten the time needed to cook the pellets.”

What is that supposed to mean?

Are you belittling the pellet refinists of the Chan Sect?

The True Habitant of Tai Yi had always had a fiery temper, and was promptly incensed by Jiang He’s words, sneering as he said, “Actually, we don’t need my master’s approval. I’ll meet my senior brother right now—do allow me to witness how you cook pellets!”

Flying out of the courtyard and deep into the Hollow Jade Temple, he met the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole in a straw hut and explained why he came.

The Immortal Hermit of the South Pole could not help laughing. “Did Jiang He really say that?”

“Yes, we could let him see the recipe, but he must accomplish the conditions he has mentioned himself.”

The True Habitant of Tai Yi left at that and passed the pellet recipe to Jiang He.

After studying it, her realized that it was as the True Habitant of Tai Yi had told him… there were 108 procedures to the brewing of Body Honing Pellets, and was as complex as it was troublesome.

“Brother Tai Yi, please prepare a batch of the ingredients for the Body Honing Pellets. I’ll cook them tomorrow morning!”

The True Habitant of Tai Yi snorted coldly and said, “I’ll inform every immortal of the Hollow Jade Temple to witness Master Jiang He’s pellet refinement.”

He then stormed off.

Wang Hou appeared utterly worried and could not help asking, “Can you do it, Jiang He?”

“A real man never says that he can’t!”

Jiang He teased and chuckled, “I’ll be secluding myself to meditate on some pellet recipes and see if they could be improved…”

Heading inside his Farm, he racked his brains and was about to show off his abilities to improve the recipe for the Body Honing Pellets, or at least cut short the complex manufacturing process. Aside from that, getting thirty pellets from one brewing was too inefficient and the yield needed to be increased.

Meanwhile, news that Jiang He would cook pellets tomorrow quickly spread throughout the Hollow Jade Palace…

Many pellet refinists had already heard about how Jiang He belittled their work, each of them sneering endlessly and prepared to witness Jiang He make a fool of himself.

Meanwhile, within a curious dimension, the Immortal Hermit of the South stepped out and kowtowed toward a profound figure standing deep in space, saying, “Master, Jiang He and Wang Hou have arrived.”
