"I do need something, but it's not now," Zhen Yunqi replied, shaking her head, and changed the topic.
"I will give you more natural materials in the next week, and I will also be increasing the area of the field to mass produce tier one and tier two herbs," she informed.
Although tier one and tier two herbs were cheap, there was a large amount of consumption, especially inside the sect where every disciple needed pills daily.
Moreover, even if she sold a large number of low-tier herbs outside, it would only cause a small commotion, and no one would suspect anything.
Ye Chen knew what she wanted to do, so he didn't say anything and nodded.
After this, he chatted with her for a while and left.
He was curious about what she needed from him, but she didn't answer at all, so he could only give up.
'Well, time to increase the area of my divine powers,' he muttered in his heart as he arrived in his room.
He didn't hesitate and took out the beast cores and metals from the spatial ring.
The beast cores were diamond-shaped and were in different colors. However, their size remained of an apple, indicating they were all tier one.
As for metals, they were raw ores, some shiny, some dark. Just like beast cores, they were also tier one, but the size was a little bigger and came in different rough shapes.
"Although they are tier one, the amount is quite big," Ye Chen remarked, looking at the beast cores and metals, which amounted to more than fifty thousand pieces filling half of the room.
After this he sat crossed-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to focus on the main body.
Just as he did this, his vision expanded into the whole area of the mountain.
He was able to see everything, even Zhen Yunqi and Li Mei, who were now in their room.
Zhen Yunqi was busy reading some important documents. As for Li Mei, she was hiding her flushed face in the soft pillow as the sensation of his kiss re-played in her mind.
Watching her like this, Ye Chen smiled faintly before focusing his attention on the beast cores and metals in his room.
"Devour!" he muttered.
In that instant the beast cores and metals trembled, and one by one they started to turn into golden mist before disappearing into the ground.
Ye Chen felt a refreshing feeling when this happened, and slowly yet surely his vision and the effectiveness of divine powers started to increase from all sides.
However, he controlled this increase and only made it go towards the sect, as he wanted to cover the area there rather than the mountain range behind him.
'Looks like I will need a lot of natural materials' Ye Chen mused as he saw hundreds of beast cores only increasing the area by about ten meters, and this was with him only going in one direction.
Nevertheless, he was satisfied since he would be able to cover the area by more than six miles if he used every beast core and metal.
However, it didn't take too long for him to realize that he was wrong because the further away the area increased, the consumption rate also grew.
With things going like this, even if he used all the beast cores and metals in the room, he wouldn't be able to reach three miles, let alone more than six.
'The tire one grade is useless; maybe even the tier two and tier three might not help me cover the whole sect.' he muttered with a frown as he wondered if there was a way to get higher-grade beast cores and metals.
There was, of course, his system, but it didn't guarantee he would be able to get something for sure, moreover the items were random and took a lot of system points.
With the cultivation of these past days, he had only acquired about twenty thousand system points.
This would allow him to buy twenty yellow grade fishing chances or two profound grade fishing chances.
This was too slow for him as he wanted to use heaven-grade fishing, which cost ten million system coins.
'I am poor,' he thought with a sigh and refocused his attention on expanding the area.
It didn't take long, and within an hour he was done.
The area only increased by two miles long and five miles wide. Although it was big in this world, this amount of land was as small as grain.
Zhen Yunqi which means the Azure Clous Sect alone possessed a hundred-mile-long mountain range. This was just a third-grade sect; surely the second grade and first grade would have even larger land.
"Well, at least I can use my divine powers in extended area and can see everything," Ye Chen said as he opened his eyes.
The room was now empty as all the beast cores and metals had been absorbed by his main body.
However, he didn't care about this and took out the myriad book along with the old cauldron and herbs.
"Body Strengthening Pill, I hope the effect is the same as the book says," he murmured as he read the formula and its effect once again.
The formula was nothing special and only needed some tier-one-grade herbs.
As for effects, they weren't heaven-defying, but it was something every cultivator of Qi gathering would fight for.
The reason was that this pill not only strengthened the body, bones, and skin but also the meridians while enlarging them by a small amount.
It may look nothing, but the strength gained by it was enough for a cultivator to dominate in the same realm. If someone was a genius, they might even be able to leapfrog.
There was one more thing, and that was that this pill can be taken by both men and women.
After reading through everything, he closed the book and placed the old cauldron on the floor.
In these past days, he had studied his cultivation technique; although he didn't finish reading everything, he grasped the 'Divine Art of Alchemy' from it.
