Several days later.

White Bird Star.

Galaxy Island, villa.

Fang Xing was sitting on the sofa, with his legs crossed, holding a cup of fruit juice in his hand.

This juice came from a "Food Planet" cultivated by the Federation, resembling a rainbow, with red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and white—nine colors.

"Nine-colored juice... it really tastes good."

He took another sip of the juice before opening an email.

"Master!"

Xiao Lan, suddenly dressed in a schoolteacher’s outfit with gold-rimmed glasses and holding a pointer, said:

"Your contributions have been recorded and recognized by the Federation."

"Moreover, according to Zhou Yehua Martial Saint’s promise, you can exchange it for some rare resources... for example, the flesh of this chaotic progeny."

The body of the chaotic progeny was huge, with many usable parts.

It even allowed for the extraction of a few strands that could assist in breaking through to Martial Saint, called ’Refining Divine Marrow’!

Of course, Fang Xing’s contributions were definitely not enough to exchange for this.

"Let’s exchange it all for the flesh of the chaotic progeny... My mecha desperately needs these materials."

Fang Xing made the decision.

In fact, the amount of flesh he could exchange was probably not even one-thousandth of what was needed to complete his own biological mecha.

But regardless, it was a good start.

"The design drawings are not yet fully understood... so there’s no rush to get started."

"And besides... a mecha factory is not like the previous cultivation fields and laboratories, the investment is enormous... I need to sell more suppressants to gather funds and recruit talent..."

He pondered for a moment, then flipped through other emails, finding one from a female professional who had teamed up with him last time.

Fang Xing looked at it and directly made a call.

"Captain!"

On the screen, in a hospital room, Xi Ling was lying in a recovery pod, her eyes tightly closed.

"Did you send Xi Ling to the hospital? That’s very thoughtful of you."

Fang Xing turned to a tall, white woman in a tight black outfit standing beside him, and smiled.

They all wore mechas previously, so they weren’t very familiar.

Now, she seemed quite attractive—buxom, with long legs, and wine-red curly hair.

But at this moment, a trace of concern crossed her distinct features: "Captain... I just got the news, Ao Wei Group is privately very displeased with us..."

"Is it because the hostage rescue ultimately failed?"

Fang Xing smiled, unconcerned, "We were only volunteering for the rescue; since when is failing equivalent to guilt?"

"Officially, that is the case, so our rewards and contributions haven’t changed... I heard it was Zhou Yehua Martial Saint who fought for that, but privately, a little princess from Ao Wei Group died there..."

The female professional’s face showed a hint of grievance, "We did try our best... Xi Ling even nearly died there, and other teams had casualties... Anyway, I just wanted to give you a heads up to be careful."

"Don’t worry, I am a Ph.D. student at Blue Star University with several Martial Saints backing me."

Fang Xing laughed out loud.

Moreover, he was already prepared to lay low and coast along.

How could Ao Wei Group suppress him?

Instead, this situation made him feel that his previous half-hearted effort was justified.

A spaceship full of paupers died, should the tycoons not die as well?

There was no such rule.

In the face of death, whether noble or humble, all are equally mortal.

’Although... the elite of the Federation have top-notch genetic surgeries and various means to live much longer than commoners, they ultimately have to die too...’

’When even death becomes unequal, that would be true despair.’

"Captain, you rock!"

The female professional on the other side was speechless for a moment, then spoke up, "I want to work for you!"

She was a smart person, knew she was just a Sixth Realm professional with an ordinary background, unable to withstand Ao Wei Group and hoping to find a reliable support.

"Okay, send your resume to Star Sea Company on White Bird Star... If it looks good, I’ll hire you."

Fang Xing took another look at her, realizing that she closely resembled the Black Widow from his previous life, and asked with a smile, "By the way, what’s your name?"

The professional on the other side was speechless, "Vijali... boss!"

"Okay."

The woman acted quickly, and Fang Xing checked the resume she sent: "Then congratulations on getting the job, come to the company first and temporarily be my secretary."

"And... Xi Ling is actually a great person."

Vijali spoke, "She’s in very bad condition now, might need a Source Sea Level treatment pod... I believe after she’s healed, she will be very grateful to you."

"Sure... she’s a graduate from Nine Swords Academy, indeed not bad. I’ll apply for her treatment, and you can come work off the debt with her later."

Fang Xing casually agreed, taking the opportunity to do a good deed.

After all, he had idled away his time at Nine Swords Academy before, and naturally, he felt obligated to take care of a fellow graduate.

...

Cultivation World.

Baihua Mountain, Fourth Rank Cave Mansion.

Fang Xing’s eyes were bright as he looked at the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron in front of him, occasionally waving his hands to cast several spell techniques.

In the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron, numerous medicinal ingredients were refined instantaneously, their strange powders and liquids barely merging under the flame spew of nine fire dragons, becoming several uneven surfaced dan pills.

This was the medicinal potency not yet fully settled, undergoing its final dramatic transformation.

"Open!"

After another hour, Fang Xing clapped his hands together, channeling powerful Nascent Soul Power into the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron.

Bang!

The Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron burst open, sending forth four dan pills, each containing an unimaginably powerful energy.

A peculiar fragrance of the pills wafted out.

A golden mana hand descended, scooping up the four pills and dropping them into Fang Xing’s palm.

"Fourth Rank Meat and Bone Rejuvenation Pills... Not bad healing elixirs even for a Nascent Soul True Monarch."

"One batch of materials; the maximum yield is eight pills. I only refined four successful ones, among them two inferior grade and two regular grade... not too bad, I guess."

While this achievement was partly due to the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron, Fang Xing felt that with a better furnace, he should have been able to refine one himself.

In general, the skill assessment requirements in the Cultivation World are quite low.

Being able to refine a single Fourth Rank pill is just enough to call oneself a Fourth Rank Alchemy Grandmaster.

"All the practice materials are used up; time to start refining the ’Nascent Condensing Pills.’"

These days, Fang Xing had been rigorously cultivating, progressing from the Core Formation Late Stage to the Perfect Core Formation without any bottleneck, advancing at a rapid pace.

Besides that, daily alchemy had been his routine.

During which, he discovered that the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron was also effective for Fourth Rank elixirs, a pleasant surprise indeed.

He stored the Meat and Bone Rejuvenation Pills, rested for a few days, bathed, changed clothes, and meditated to calm his mind.

Only then did he enter the Alchemy Room to inspect the Earth Fire and the Pill Furnace.

After closing his eyes for a moment to contemplate, Fang Xing slapped his storage bag.

Several jade boxes emerged, each containing various spirit grasses rarely seen outside.

Divine Infant Fruit, Dragon Locust Vine, Green Bamboo Spirit Heart, Millennium Vermilion Fruit... and the specially saved Ten-thousand-year-old Stone Milk.

"I only have five Divine Infant Fruits... I’ll use at most four, keeping the last one as a safety net, in case I can’t refine it, I’ll just eat it raw."

Fang Xing made a plan in his heart.

Eating a Divine Infant Fruit raw also had some effect in assisting Nascent Soul Formation, although it was a waste—it was considered extravagantly lavish and not as additive as the Nascent Condensing Pill.

But if it came to it, he had no choice but to eat it raw.

If it weren’t for the fact that only one raw fruit was effective, and consuming more would be futile, Fang Xing even felt an urge to consume all five Divine Infant Fruits at once.

After all, if one Divine Infant Fruit isn’t as good as a Nascent Condensing Pill, maybe five would be about right?

As for finding another skilled Fourth Rank Alchemist?

Such alchemists definitely belonged to both the Righteous and Demonic factions, essentially outing oneself as a marked man; only a fool would do that...

Fang Xing focused his mind, picking up a Divine Infant Fruit.

This Divine Infant Fruit looked like a Ginsengfruit, tender and white, emitting an extremely tempting fragrance.

"Divine Infant into the furnace, nine dragons ascend; a green bamboo cascade should directly fall, flowing straight down, the jade pot spins three times, then nine times... solidified by Vermilion Fruit, held by jade stones..."

He silently recited the alchemy mnemonic he had understood countless times, a bundle of mana flying out, enveloping the Divine Infant Fruit, tossing it into the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron.

The first step in making the Nascent Condensing Pill, was to refine the main ingredient!

If this failed, everything would be lost!

’One Divine Infant Fruit can produce up to five Nascent Condensing Pills... This first batch is not very promising, purely for practice.’

Fang Xing’s powerful Divine Sense surged out, drawing the Earth Fire.

Roar roar!

The Earth Fire rose, turning into nine fire dragons constantly spewing flames, scorching the Divine Infant Fruit.

Surrounded by the nine fire dragons, the Divine Infant Fruit did not char but began to slowly melt according to the controlled temperature...

’Good, this first step of fire control hasn’t failed...’

Fang Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

He had practiced this set of Fire Control Techniques several times on previous Fourth Rank Dan recipes, fortunately avoiding any mishaps from the start.

In the next moment, he took out the Green Bamboo Spirit Heart and tossed it into the alchemy furnace.

"Fast!"

With a spell, a light breeze appeared, gradually eroding the green bamboo core.

"This raw material can’t be refined with fire; it needs wind to mill it!"

Following Fang Xing’s hand gesture, the unique power of the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron descended again, re-purifying these powders as if a green waterfall descended from the Nine Heavens.

"Turn!"

Three fire dragons ascended, catching this green waterfall, continuously spinning.

The ’Divine Infant Fruit’ transformed liquid landed right at the center of the vortex.

One revolution, two revolutions, three revolutions...

After nine revolutions, the green waterfall had completely integrated into the liquid, developing a pale green color.

Fang Xing immediately added Dragon Locust Vine, Millennium Vermilion Fruit...

Inside the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron, the flames roared intensely.

Suddenly!

The cauldron shuddered slightly, and a puff of thick black smoke emerged.

Fang Xing, who was just taking out the Ten-thousand-year-old Stone Milk, paused: "Failed... but to hold on until the last step, it seems I truly have a talent for alchemy, and practicing with other Fourth Rank elixirs was also a wise decision."

Even the first batch of ’Nascent Condensing Pills’ lasted until the final step before just barely failing.

Fang Xing was immediately filled with confidence for the remaining three batches!
