Chapter 325: 325
Xue Wei did not have long to cultivate . Tao Wu had quickly arrived with a lot of ingredients, enough ingredients for seven two-colored Rainbow Pills, and twenty one-colored Rainbow Pills .
Seeing the sheer amount of ingredients, Xue Wei felt his lips curl into a smile . Clearly, Tao Wu had gathered all the treasures his pirates had found over the years .
He was not at all humble as he delivered the entire stash of ingredients in front of Xue Wei .
"You gave me an immense price tag for these pills," Tao Wu began smilingly, his smile being slightly cunning .
"As such, I ought to milk you dry, and since we are friends, there should be no problem with you spending a bit more effort to refine pills for me . "
Xue Wei's lips twitched in amusement, but he quickly shook his head resignedly . He had indeed given an excessive price for these pills, so it was not too unexpected that he was asked to pay a lot back .
"Bring it on," Xue Wei snickered . "I will make you so stuffed with pills that your stomach would burst!"
"I got a big appetite," Tao Wu, who had heard what Xue Wei said laughed out loud, "I can handle all the pills you can concoct!"
Shaking his head, Xue Wei accepted the ingredients, and after leaving a message for his comrades about the Murong and Tang members, he closed up in the pill refinement room .
Here time went by fast . Xue Wei was entirely focused on refining pills, and during the progress, he was continually enhancing his spiritual energy .
He started making the one-colored Rainbow Pills . These rainbow pills were all successfully refined . He had by now refined quite a lot of one-colored Rainbow Pills before, so his success rate was high . Of the twenty batches, only one failed .
It only took him two days to refine the nineteen one-colored Rainbow Pills, and before he began the two-colored rainbow pills, he exited the chamber to see whether or not Murong Jing and Tang Julong had been by with the ingredients yet .
"That Murong guy has been here," Lin Xiao said as he handed a storage treasure over to Xue Wei . "But that Tang guy hasn't . "
Xue Wei nodded his head as he accepted the storage treasure . "I imagine it will take him some time to produce the ingredients," Xue Wei said . The two-colored Rainbow Pills were expensive in resources . Gathering them all would take a few days .
Entering the refining room again, Xue Wei opened the storage treasure to see how many sets of ingredients that Murong Jing had sent him, and he saw that there were actually six sets of ingredients . It was almost as much as Tao Wu had managed to get, from this one could see that the background of Murong Jing was not ordinary .
After this, Xue Wei focused on refining two-colored Rainbow Pills . He was locked up for eight days straight, and during this time, his spiritual energy was on the verge of breaking through due to the constant use when refining pills .
Out of the seven sets of ingredients he had gotten from Tao Wu, he had managed to get five pills, and from the six sets from Murong Jing he had managed four .
As he exited the chamber, he found that Tao Wu and Murong Jing were both waiting outside the room, their faces filled with worry .
Even someone as powerful as Tao Wu was filled with worry when it came to rainbow pills, this showed how hard it was to get one's hands on resources in the Sea of the Enchanted .
Xue Wei snickered when he saw them and tossed two storage treasures out, one for each of them .
Catching the treasures, neither could hold back and started to look into the storage treasures to see what was the success rate, and both of their faces lit up in joy when they saw the five and the four pills within .
"Thank you," Murong Jing cupped his fists and felt eternally grateful . The killing of Old Man Bai was worth it .
Murong Jing sent a mental note to Tang Julong to inform him that Xue Wei had exited the refinement chamber, and moments after he rushed to the courtyard where Xue Wei was present .
This was the first time that Tang Julong and Xue Wei met face to face . Tang Julong was shocked to see that Xue Wei was, in fact, a young man . He did not look a day over twenty years old, in fact, he seemed just like a youngster, but his strength was rather outstanding, and his status as a two-colored rainbow alchemist was also something that placed him well above the masses .
"Master Xue," Tang Julong dared not be the slightest bit impolite as he cupped his fists and bowed . "It is an honor to meet you . I heard from Murong Jing that you had a task that needed doing . I assisted in this task and was promised that you would refine a two-colored Rainbow Pill for us?"
Xue Wei could feel the worry in his voice, so he did not hesitate to answer . "Master Murong already explained that you indeed assisted him in the task I requested, and thus, I will naturally refine a medicinal pill for you . "
Hearing this Tang Julong's eyes widened in surprise before wild joy exploded in his chest .
Sensing his happiness, Xue Wei smiled wryly . He had experienced the excitement because of his professions before when he was a formation master back in Chang'an .
"Do you have the ingredients?" Xue Wei asked, and Tang Julong quickly fetched the ingredients out of his storage treasure and placed them in front of Xue Wei .
"Wait here," Xue Wei took the ingredients and went towards the refinement room .
Tao Wu and Murong Jing excused themselves, but Tang Julong stayed rooted in position, his heart beating rapidly and he was filled with worry for how it would go .
When they began refining, Xue Wei suddenly sensed his spiritual energy erupting like a volcano . It was as if it was boundless, and suddenly he felt how his energy was growing at a rapid speed . His spiritual energy had a breakthrough and was now at the ninth layer of the Sky Knight rank .
Under the now stronger spiritual energy, the process of refining pills, which previously had been arduous and difficult was suddenly easy as walking in a garden .
Tang Julong had given them ingredients enough for two pills, and both of them were successfully refined .
After refining the two pills, a smirk appeared on Xue Wei's lips as he packed them into a jade vial . He then went down the stairs where he found that Tang Julong was standing the exact same place as before .
"It was a success," Xue Wei announced, and the taut nerves that had been stretched to their limits were suddenly relaxed, and he looked excited .
"I managed to refine two pills, you were quite lucky," Xue Wei chuckled as he handed over the jade vial to Tang Julong who was dazed by the news before he suddenly became amazingly excited .
"Thank you . Thank you so much!" Tang Julong's voice was trembling with excitement, and after greeting Xue Wei, he quickly rushed away from the Thousand Treasure Pavilion and back to the Tang family to tell them that their harvest was even better than expected .
Xue Wei shook his head in amusement when he saw them rush away .
"How many days are left?" Xue Wei asked Bai Tianyi when he finally had the time to stretch his tired body .
"We are leaving in six days," Bai Tiany answered casually as he looked at Xue Wei .
"You had a breakthrough in your spiritual energy?" he asked astonished, and Xue Wei nodded his head .
"Not bad," Bai Tianyi said with a smile . "You are getting closer and closer to the Heavenly Knight rank . Just a bit more and both your spiritual energy levels and Qi levels will be there . "
Xue Wei nodded his head absentmindedly .
"My success rate of the two colored Rainbow Pills are even better now than it was before . "
"Are there any more ingredients left?" Bai Tianyi raised an eyebrow in surprise, but Xue Wei smiled wryly and shook his head .
"Then it doesn't help," Bai Tianyi said casually, and Xue Wei shrugged his shoulders .
"Well eventually we will get more ingredients I bet," Xue Wei said . "But for now, I cannot make more pills for us . "
They quieted down, and after a bit of time, they both sighed . It felt like an eternity since Bai Tianyi had arrived and requested of Xue Wei to begin practicing pill making .
In the beginning, he had not been eager to learn it, but now, after realizing how many benefits it brought them, he felt it was the right decision that Bai Tianyi had made back in the day .
Although it was hard to learn alchemy, he had managed to succeed, and now it was not only possible to create pills that enhanced their strength, it also directly increased his spiritual energy and helped it break through .
Thinking like this, it was indeed an excellent benefit for Xue Wei, and now that he was a two-colored Rainbow Alchemist he had a certain amount of protection .
It was thoughts like these that had caused Xue Wei and Bai Tianyi to sigh while thinking about them . Life was truly unexpected . Never would they have expected that they would end up where they were now .
Just as they sunk into contemplation, Luoluo came running in through the door and went straight to Xue Wei .
"Big Brother!" she called out sweetly and excitedly, her adorable eyes were glistening with wonders .
"The ship is done! We are ready to leave at any moment," she said excitedly, and Xue Wei raised an eyebrow in surprise .
"I did not think that we would leave for another six days?" He asked, but Luoluo shrugged her shoulders, "the ship is finished," she said with certainty .
"Maybe they want to wait a few days to stock up on every item we might need on the trip?" Lin Xiao asked, but the others shook their heads . They had likely already gotten every item needed for their future travels as they had storage treasures to pack it down in .
"Let's go and check," Xue Wei said and called for all his friends .
When they made it to the harbor, they found that a new and rather large ship was docked where the blood ship had been earlier .
The ship was filled with formations and inscriptions; it was sturdy and seemed to be able to sail at a rapid speed across the sea .
Xue Wei saw that the members of the delegation from Yan Dalu and Demon Phoenix Continent were boarding the ship .
"Xue Wei!" the ambassador from Demon Phoenix Continent called out excitedly when he saw Xue Wei .
"We dared not trouble you," he said, "but we expected you would show up here sooner or later . When you showed up would be the time for us to set sail and return on route for the Demon Phoenix Continent . "
Xue Wei looked back at the Treasure Island and Treasure City and smiled slightly .
"Let's leave then," he said, not planning on returning to say his goodbyes . He did not believe this was the last time he would be here .
Hearing that Xue Wei was willing to leave just like that, without saying his goodbyes, everyone was startled, but they were also relieved . They could not help but feel that they had already delayed their trip for long enough, and needed to get a move on as soon as possible .
Boarding the ship, Xue Wei suddenly started feeling excited . Although he had enjoyed the time on Treasure Island, and he had gained a massive amount of wealth here, he could not wait to move into more challenging seas . To experience more things that could push him to his limits and see where his final destination laid .
