The liver is a late bloomer!

“During your seclusion, I refined two production lines. The first one was given to the Commerce Department of the Human Emperor Temple to produce a high-performance, cost-effective acquired spiritual treasure shield.”

A shrunken yellow shield appeared before Xu Chen, radiating an earthy yellow light and giving off a sense of weight and solidity.

"The material cost is 6,000 catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals. 12,000 catties are sold to foreign races, and 8,000 catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals are sold to our own people."

"The Ministry of Commerce of the Human Emperor Temple provides the materials and a Saint-grade weapon refiner; they can refine one piece a day."

"We take 80% of the profits from sales to our own tribe and 30% from sales to other tribes. Currently, our orders are already booked for 5000 years from now, and that timeframe is still increasing."

"These are the Dao Origin Immortal Crystals I've collected over the years."

A spatial immortal artifact floated in front of Xu Chen. After examining it with his divine sense, he discovered that it contained more than 2 million catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals.

“That’s great, this will completely cover the expenses of the cultivation world.”

"Well done. From now on, you can use half of these immortal crystals to make whatever you want."

Xu Chen patted Da Xu on the shoulder.

"I told you long ago, with me here, you won't have to worry about immortal crystals."

"Having received so much knowledge of weapon crafting, formations, and puppetry, I have long since mastered the most advanced weapon crafting techniques in this star sea region."

"Earning immortal crystals is a piece of cake for me. The only thing that can limit me is the upper limit of this market." Da Xu spoke with the demeanor of a grandmaster.

“Not bad, it seems I’ll have to get you more inheritances when I have time.”

Xu Chen accepted the spatial artifact with a smile, then took out a food box from the Divine Race and planned to invite Yang Wanshan and Xu Xiyue over for a gathering.

After the message was sent out, it was discovered that these individuals were diligently cultivating in the cultivation world.

"Xiao Tian, ​​who is in charge of the Great Stream Sect now?"

After Xu Chen returned to the Daxi Sect, Yang Wanshan mentioned during their conversation that he had handed over the sect's affairs to his subordinates and only had a general grasp of the direction.

As for who is in charge of the specific affairs of the Daxi Sect, Xu Chen still doesn't know.

"Elder Sheng Qing is currently in charge of sect affairs."

A beam of light appeared before Xu Chen, revealing a man with an extremely composed face, square jaw, and an unsmiling demeanor.

"A Saint-grade talent, igniting the lamp of the spirit, advancing to the Golden Immortal realm within 100,000 years, and possessing extremely high talent in management and coordination, truly outstanding!" Xu Chen couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Bring him over to meet us."

"As ordered."

In the Immortal Palace of Daxi Sect.

Tens of thousands of senior officials and disciples from various departments gathered in the main hall to quickly handle the matters under their charge.

In the very center of the main hall, a composed young man sat in the main seat, quickly processing the jade slips flying towards him from the sky.

"Sect Master, the Tianyu No. 36 mine has been attacked by a nearby indigenous race. 379 disciples have been injured or killed, with 80 dead and 299 wounded."

"Sect Master, application for a branch sect in World Number Nine, at the Golden Immortal level..."

"Sect Master, an elder from the Spirit Flower Clan wishes to enter the sect to pay his respects..."

All the information from the sect was gathered in one place.

Just then, a voice rang out in the hall.

"Sect Master Sheng Qing, the Second Elder has summoned you."

Sheng Qing, who was processing information, looked up at the sky above the main hall.

The final spatial force formed a portal in front of him.

Tens of thousands of elders and disciples in the main hall stopped what they were doing and looked at Sheng Qing with envy.

"You all have authority to handle matters below the level of A. Do your jobs well."

After finishing her tasks, Sheng Qing tidied her clothes and stepped into the teleportation portal.

"Acting Sect Master Sheng Qing of the Great Stream Sect pays respects to the Second Elder." Sheng Qing bowed respectfully.

Xu Chen sat facing him and accepted the greeting.

"Actually, I feel that my senior brother doesn't need to consult me. Just looking at your temperament, I feel that you are capable of being the sect leader of the Great Stream Sect," Xu Chen encouraged.

Sheng Qing's position as acting sect leader was conferred by Xu Chen during his seclusion. The grand ceremony to officially appoint him as sect leader will be held after Xu Chen emerges from seclusion and the discussions are completed.

"In all matters of the Great Stream Sect, the Second Elder and the First Elder are the most respected," Sheng Qing said to Xu Chen with a respectful expression.

"Get up, sit down and try the exotic food I brought."

"I only remembered you, the one in charge of managing the sect, when my senior brother went into seclusion. There are some things I'd like to discuss with you."

"Little Sheng Qing, don't be so nervous. If you're invited to sit, then sit down," Da Xu said with a smile. He had dealt with Sheng Qing a few times and had a very good impression of him.

Sheng Qing carefully sat on half of the chair, somewhat flattered, and picked up her chopsticks to taste the food.

"You also manage the sect's finances. If we convert that into Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, how much would our sect earn in a year?"

Xu Chen didn't want to hear about contribution points, because that would be an extremely long number.

"We get roughly 80,000 catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals a year, with our main income coming from trade with other races," Sheng Qing said, putting down his chopsticks.

"That was so little, but that was back then."

"You should know about the production line for acquired spiritual treasures that Da Xu refines. Once we have enough Saint-grade weapon refiners, the sect's income will definitely double."

"There will be many more production lines like this in the future. How can we make more money with Dao Origin Immortal Crystals?"

This is a small test from Xu Chen for Sheng Qing; the better she answers, the higher the reward will be.

"I have a bold idea in my mind, but it is still brewing in my mind and I have not yet discussed it with the Supreme Elder."

"Since the Second Elder asked, I would like to boldly express my thoughts."

Sheng Qing looked at Xu Chen's encouraging gaze, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

"I've heard that Elder Grandmaster Xu is an expert in all aspects of weapon crafting and is capable of everything."

"So, this junior wants to sell the acquired spiritual treasures to the places where the battles are most intense, to all races, whether in the main realm or the dark side of the main realm." After Sheng Qing finished speaking, he looked at Xu Chen with some trepidation.

"It's not easy to have your cake and eat it too." Xu Chen thought to himself that he would give Sheng Qing a perfect score.

"These are some plans that I have in mind. Please correct me if I am wrong."

An encrypted jade slip floated in front of Xu Chen.

Xu Chen took it and examined it, and was somewhat shocked by the enormous plan before him.

The main realm and the myriad races of the dark side main realm were all taken into account.

"The plan is good, and the contingency plans for various problems are also very well done. We'll discuss it after my senior brother comes out of seclusion, and if there are no problems, we'll start implementing it." Xu Chen's tone was very satisfied; only those with boldness can conquer all directions.

"This is just a preliminary plan from your disciple, and it still needs to be improved."

"This wouldn't have been possible without the support of Elder Xu," Sheng Qing said, rising to bow to the district.

"Just let me know if you need anything, and please buy me materials faster next time," Da Xu said with a smile as he enjoyed his food.

"Alright, now that we've finished discussing matters concerning the sect, let's focus on enjoying the food."

Xu Chen was very satisfied with the calm and composed acting sect leader in front of him.

At first, Sheng Qing ate very slowly, but later she became more and more captivated by the delicious food, and yes, she ate faster and faster.

After the entire table of food was completely devoured, Sheng Qing looked embarrassed. "Since you like it, I'll give you a few more tables."

Xu Chen waved his hand, and 10 food boxes from the Divine Race floated in front of Sheng Qing.

"and this."

An acquired spiritual treasure that enhances the soul and spirit appears.

"Second Elder, I..."

"Stop talking nonsense. The sect respects me. Take it and help me manage the sect well from now on," Xu Chen said.

"By the way!"

A hint of excitement flashed across Sheng Qing's composed face; he knew he had acknowledged this Supreme Second Elder.

"Go back to your work, I won't bother you any longer."

Xu Chen knew how busy Yang Wanshan was when he was in charge of the entire sect.

"Yes, sir!" Sheng Qing quickly took his leave and returned to the Immortal Palace.

"It seems you're quite satisfied with Xiaoqing; he's a good young man."

"That suggestion is also good, but it gives me a very familiar feeling, though I can't quite put my finger on it." Da Xu stroked his chin, trying hard to recall.

"Don't even think about it, you can't believe it, this is a story from my dream."

"A major power took advantage of the multi-nation war, leveraging its geographical distance from the battlefield, to dominate both sides and ultimately become the strongest nation," Xu Chen explained simply.

"The strongest nation? Didn't it unify that region?"

"It's impossible; it's just a country of mortals."

"Then it wouldn't be the strongest nation."

"Let's leave that aside. Following Xiao Qing's plan, you should make some preparations and set up a few production lines for acquired spiritual treasures from the composite Dark Side Main Realm. We're going to profit from both ends," Xu Chen said.

"I understand. Xiaoqing was prepared in advance. She commissioned the Ministry of Commerce of the Human Emperor Temple to acquire several acquired spiritual treasures from the Dark Side Main Realm. They should arrive in a while."

As he spoke, Da Xu got up and headed towards the distant Immortal Artifact Factory.

"I'm not keeping you company anymore. I'm going to refine some interesting acquired spiritual treasures." Da Xu waved and left.

Just as Xu Chen was thinking about going to the cultivation world, the human race's communication artifact rang.

Xu Chen took it out and saw that it was a message from his father, Xu Qiangjia.

"Father is about to advance to the Golden Immortal Realm," Xu Chen replied quickly, telling his father to wait a moment.

In the cultivation world, Xu Chen looked at Xu Xiyue, who was diligently cultivating in the sword cultivation world, and felt reluctant to disturb her.

However, while Xu Xiyue was cultivating, she received a message from Xu Qiangjia, so she stopped cultivating and prepared to leave the cultivation world.

"Wait until I call Yueyao out, then we'll set off," Xu Chen said, sending a message to Su Yueyao.

Half an hour later, the three stepped onto the interdimensional teleportation array.

Outside the Nine Emperors City, in an area specifically for those advancing from the Profound Immortal Realm to the Golden Immortal Realm, Xu Qiangjia rented a temporary cave dwelling and was adjusting his state.

"Father, advancing to the Golden Immortal realm is a major event. Although there is an array to resist the heavenly tribulation, we still need to be careful."

“You’re already the best immortal artifact. I’ll refine a few more batches of holy pills for you,” Xu Chen said, looking at Xu Qiangjia, who had already adjusted his condition to its peak.

"I'll give you a maximum of one month, otherwise you might lose the peak performance you've worked so hard to build up." Xu Qiangjia, who had already made all the necessary preparations, looked at Xu Chen and said.

Although he had made thorough preparations, this was, after all, his son's filial piety, and he couldn't let him down.
"wait for me!"

Xu Chen quickly found the alchemy room in the temporary cave dwelling, took out a postnatal spiritual treasure alchemy furnace, and sent a wisp of his divine sense into the Human Realm to begin purchasing immortal herbs and spiritual medicines.

After Xu Chen finished making his selections, within thirty breaths, a crane of the Golden Immortal Realm gracefully landed outside the alchemy room.

"Your goods have arrived, please sign for them."

The crane transformed into a girl in a black and white dress, holding a spatial box in her hands.

"It's faster than before," Xu Chen said with a smile after calculating the time.

“If we were any slower in the Nine Emperors City, we might not even be able to get a hot meal,” Xu Xiyue said with a smile, knowing the situation.

The girl looked embarrassed, regretting that she had rested for a couple of breaths.

Xu Chen waved, and the space box flew over. The crane girl transformed into her true form and took her leave.

"Why don't you want a good review again this time?" Xu Xiyue's voice drifted to the ears of the crane that was about to fly out of the cave.

The crane instantly transformed into a beam of light and flew into the void.

In the alchemy room, Xu Chen looked at the Golden Immortal Realm puppet and finished processing all the materials.

The Great Sun Divine Fire was raised in the alchemy furnace to preheat it.

"Great Sun Protection Pill, Five Elements Origin Pill, Sacred Soul Pill, Essence Fire Sacred Pill."

This is a sacred pill specially refined by Xu Chen based on Xu Qiangjia's physique and strength.

It wasn't that he didn't want to refine more, but rather that his father's strength could only accommodate these four types of sacred pills at most.

Xu Chen quickly refined four batches of sacred pills and handed them over to Xu Qiangjia.

"That's right, my son has taken care of all the magic weapons and elixirs."

"With the human race's grand formation and the magical treasures and holy pills refined by my son, I can cultivate into a Golden Immortal even if I lie still."

Xu Qiangjia smiled and waved before entering the special formation used by the Golden Immortal Tribulation.

Wei Miaoqiu stared blankly at the entrance of the great formation from outside the formation.

"Don't worry, with my strength, there will be no problem for me to enter the Golden Immortal Realm." Xu Chen looked at Wei Miaoqiu, who seemed a little reluctant to part with him.

“Your father has advanced to the Golden Immortal realm and is consolidating his power before joining the vanguard army. Chen’er, what do you think about me going with your father to join the army?” Wei Miaoqiu asked.

"I can join the army, but we'll have to wait until Mother advances to the Golden Immortal realm, otherwise it'll be too dangerous on the battlefield."

Xu Chen also knew that his parents had been together for hundreds of thousands of years, and neither of them could live without the other.

"I will refine more acquired spiritual treasures for Mother to escape with. When Father is in danger, you can use the acquired spiritual treasures to take Father with you."

"That's good. Refine more, good son!" Wei Miaoqiu looked at Xu Chen with satisfaction.

Hearing his mother praise him like that, Xu Chen felt a little happy.

Xu Chen sensed Wei Miaoqiu's cultivation level; she was just one step away from advancing to the Golden Immortal realm.

"I'll go refine a few more batches of sacred pills, and by then Father will have just advanced to the Golden Immortal realm."

"Xi Yue, if Yue Yao has any special circumstances, call me immediately."

His father was just an ordinary Xuanxian cultivator, and even when he advanced to the Golden Immortal realm, he was just an ordinary Golden Immortal. The tribulations he experienced as a Golden Immortal were also just ordinary. This great formation was enough to handle it, not to mention the addition of Xu Chen's sacred pill.

Even so, if any unexpected events occur, the Grand Venerable Realm expert stationed here will intervene, making it difficult for any problems to arise.

Half a month later, Xu Qiangjia passed the Golden Immortal Tribulation without any surprises or joy and entered the Golden Immortal Realm.

Xu Chen also refined four batches of pills in his temporary cave.

"Finally, we have advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm. Our Xu family now has two Golden Immortals, but it's a pity that our population is a bit small."

Xu Qiangjia's gaze swept over Xu Chen and Su Yueyao. (End of Chapter)
