Chapter 341: Chapter 263: Seven-Colored Lake, Mysterious Newspaper
’A 5,000-year-old vintage should be something extraordinary. It’s a system product, so there shouldn’t be any side effects after drinking it, right? Otherwise, that would be a huge rip-off...’
Wang Yi pulled up the information panel for the Bronze Winery and configured its business settings: half of the wine would be sold to the system for money, and the other half would supply the First Dining Hall.
The ten bronze brewers followed his settings, splitting into two teams and frantically digging. The 5,000-year-old vintage unearthed by one team was sent to the counter, where it instantly turned into Gold Coins and was stored in the cash box.
The 5,000-year-old vintage dug up by the other team was loaded onto a carriage.
The Bronze Winery also had a Bronze Horse Carriage, used specifically for wine deliveries. Once a full load of Bronze Wine Vats was ready, one of the Brewers would drive the carriage, which automatically found its way to deliver the shipment to the First Dining Hall.
That Bronze Horse Carriage was absurd. It traversed mountains and rivers as if they were flat ground, passing straight through the Jade River at an incredible speed. Wang Yi, driving his Bronze Vintage Car at 100 mph, couldn’t even catch up to it.
By the banks of the Jade River, the Bronze Vintage Car broke down. Wang Yi fiddled with the engine while watching the Bronze Horse Carriage disappear into the distance, muttering, "Damn, what kind of black tech is this delivery carriage? It’s even more badass than my Bronze Vintage Car?"
After fixing the Bronze Vintage Car, its collection value exceeded 800,000 Gold Coins. Wang Yi then drove to Eggshell Pier. There, he used the 10 Recruitment Scrolls his exploration team had brought back from the World of Suffering, recruiting a total of 300 Dwarf Miners, 300 Kobold Miners, 500 Purple-skinned Orcs, 300 Dark Night Elves, and 111 Armor Refining Beetles.
’Do the Recruitment Scrolls from the World of Suffering only summon production-type units?’
Wang Yi figured that, aside from the Dark Night Elves, the other recruited units would probably have to be sent to Yamero Star.
A moment later, at the foot of Huaguo Mountain where the 40 Stone Golems slumbered, Wang Yi placed the 75-ton Mountain-Opening Axe, using it as a decoration.
Afterward, Wang Yi left Eggshell City through the east gate.
Previously, after obtaining the Bronze Winery, Wang Yi had gotten a pretty good item from his last Golden Treasure Chest: [Construction Drawings for the Three-Color Lake].
The item had been Enhanced five times, becoming [Construction Drawings for the Seven-Colored Lake].
According to its Attribute Information, the Seven-Colored Lake was a Mystic Cultivation-type structure. It occupied an area with a thirty-li radius and contained seven Spiritual Springs that continuously released Spiritual Energy, increasing the concentration in the surrounding region. This would, in turn, increase the Cultivation speed of Cultivators. The lake could also produce Seven-Colored Spirit Stones.
Furthermore, the Seven-Colored Lake was also a scenic structure, where seven-colored lotuses would experience Natural Growth!
Wang Yi planned to construct the Seven-Colored Lake and then "stack" the Refining Profound Sect with it.
This would serve to strengthen the foundation of the Refining Profound Sect.
Soon, Wang Yi constructed the Seven-Colored Lake.
The Seven-Colored Lake was truly extraordinary. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, and its water was crystal clear. At the bottom, Seven-Colored Spirit Stones shimmered brightly. The seven-colored lotuses had not yet grown, with only a few scattered lotus leaves visible.
After the Seven-Colored Lake was completed, the air became cool and refreshing. Every breath brought a comfortable, invigorating sensation.
On the shore stood peach blossom trees and Peach Blossom Mountain. The lake’s surface reflected the lingering sky and clouds, while outside, the peach blossoms burned like fire along the banks. The scenery complemented itself perfectly, creating a magnificent sight.
"DING! The territory’s environment index has increased. Flower and Fruit Ecosystem Evolution +15%!"
Wang Yi’s mood soared when he suddenly received the system notification.
A moment later, Wang Yi found Zhao Mei at the Refining Profound Sect’s residence and asked, "How about I move your Refining Profound Sect into the Seven-Colored Lake?"
"The Seven-Colored Lake? What’s that? Where is it?"
"The Seven-Colored Lake is a new territory building I constructed. It will help strengthen your sect’s foundation!"
Wang Yi gave Zhao Mei a brief introduction to the Seven-Colored Lake. She was overjoyed and immediately agreed to cooperate.
Soon, Wang Yi used [Building Translation] to move the village-like residence of the Refining Profound Sect into the middle of the Seven-Colored Lake, forming an island at its center.
Wang Yi’s "Building Translation" was an Enhanced skill that could stack and assemble territory buildings. Placing the Refining Profound Sect into the Seven-Colored Lake was equivalent to building-stacking, and it didn’t affect the functions of either structure.
"From now on, we’ll have to fly to enter the Refining Profound Sect. That’s not bad at all."
Zhao Mei admired the scenery of the Seven-Colored Lake, nodding repeatedly. She was now a Late-stage Core Formation Cultivator. Although she had no Combat Skills, her increased Cultivation Level had granted her certain Basic Abilities, such as flight, which she was already capable of.
Wang Yi also took a tour of the Refining Profound Sect’s residence. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Currently, the Refining Profound Sect had only two residents, including Zhao Mei. The other was Li Xing’Er. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Although both Li sisters had joined the Refining Profound Sect, taken Zhao Mei as their master, and changed their profession to Alchemy Celestial Master—a class slightly weaker than Pill Dao Venerable—Li Tao’Er lived in the First Dining Hall. She left as soon as she learned the skills, making her something of a "day student." Li Xing’Er, on the other hand, had moved into the Refining Profound Sect to settle down, planning to Cultivate there long-term.
Their Cultivation was, in essence, Alchemy. Their Professional Traits automatically granted them Pill Formulas. The main difficulty in their Alchemy Cultivation lay in gathering the necessary ingredients.
The Refining Profound Sect’s Spirit Medicine Garden hadn’t been activated yet, so for now, the required alchemy ingredients were mostly self-gathered or supplied by the Fire Dragon Trading Company.
Of course, this supply wasn’t free. Zhao Mei had an agreement with the Eco-Castle and the Fire Dragon Trading Company to provide pills in exchange for alchemy ingredients.
Wang Yi learned that Zhang Xiaohu and Yang Xiaobao had not joined the Refining Profound Sect, mainly because they were still too young and needed to focus on their studies.
The two boys were at that mischievous, troublemaking age where they couldn’t sit still. If they were really made to practice Alchemy, it probably wouldn’t work out.
