C3433 Largest Crucible
The Azure Dragon Mountain Range was completed in nine months, brilliant and magnificent, shocking everyone.
However, the true qi image of the Azure Dragon Mountain Range was not formed from these vast buildings, but rather from the over six thousand disciples residing in the Azure Dragon Mountain Range.
Aside from the thirty odd people who had always been with Meng Fan, the rest of these disciples, were all disciples who had joined Azure Dragon Mountain Range for the sake of learning to refine pellets during these past nine years.
In a territory, six thousand disciples had gathered. This number was too scary, even in the entire Ninth Gate, only Faang Haoyun's disciples could compare to Meng Fan's Azure Dragon Mountain Range, but still not as strong as Meng Fan's. In Faang Haoyun's territory, there were around four thousand disciples gathered.
But this was the result of Faang Haoyun's accumulation of millions of years.
His prestige and position were things that other disciples could not compare to. In the long run of his business, he gathered so many disciples under his own door, and outside the door, there were also many supreme elders and various elders supporting him. He was a huge tree with deep roots, and other people could only look at his back.
In the short span of nine months, Meng Fan had surpassed Faang Haoyun in the number of hanger-ons.
These six thousand hanger-ons lived in the Azure Dragon Mountain Range, and their relationship with Meng Fan was unnamed as having a master and disciple relationship. They all called Meng Fan their senior, and every day, they would learn alchemy and exchange pointers with each other. In return, they would submit a portion of the Pills they refined every month to the Qingyun Peak.
Meng Fan did not specify the number of Pills to turn in. After a period of time, almost all disciples had tacitly handed in 10% of the amount of Pills that they refined.
Once this system of reciprocity was established, it was quite frightening.
Meng Fan would teach her the way of pill refining every first and fifteenth month in front of the Qingyun Peak. At the same time, he would also impart her some of his insights on martial skills and array formations.
And every disciple could be present during Meng Fan's lecture and listen to it casually.
Other than preaching twice a month for two hours each time, Meng Fan did not care about the rest of the time. In fact, it was just these hanger-ons exchanging pointers with each other.
The effects of this kind of exchange and sparring was very shocking.
For example, how many times would a person have to fail in order to be able to figure out the correct path of alchemy in the depths of the forest? This was like building a carriage behind closed doors, and it was difficult to move an inch.
However, when the more than six thousand disciples, who had undergone rigorous selection, either had perseverance, talent, or an intelligent foundation, gathered together, and there were even many disciples who stayed together everyday, they could communicate with each other effectively. For example, a disciple used a method to refine a Pills, and if he failed, the other disciples would immediately know that this method was wrong and would use other methods.
This was the simplest of efficiency.
Just this point was enough.
Of course, there were also some disciples who, even though they lived in the Azure Dragon Mountain Range, would often go into seclusion to refine pills, and would stay in seclusion for more than ten days to avoid communicating with others. However, as long as they came out from seclusion, they would tell their thoughts to others, which was not because a disciple had a lot of dedication, but because the disciples who gathered in the Azure Dragon Mountain Range had talent.
In addition, there were a few Pills that were especially difficult to refine, and a large number of disciples would refine them together.
The Azure Dragon Mountain Range in this kind of situation was extremely prosperous. All sorts of medicinal cauldrons were open day and night, because as long as they burned for a moment, it would mean that they could produce even more outstanding Pills.
In the eleventh month after the Azure Dragon Mountain Range was completed, unexpectedly, Grand Elder Red Cauldron personally came to the Azure Dragon Mountain Range, and under the escort of Meng Fan, watched the scene of many palaces.
This was a big matter.
The Great Clan Elder status in Ninth Gate is already very high, and these Great Elders with titles are all powerful Great Elders. For example, Grand Elder Red Cauldron, who is in charge of the distribution of the entire Ninth Gate, as well as the supervision of the various secret manuals for refining pills, in the Secular Dynasty, Grand Elder Red Cauldron is an Empire's "Minister of Finance", is this power small?
Especially as Celestial King of Eight Tribulations, in the entire Thousand-Star Universe, he was already an existence at the peak of power.
After leaving Azure Dragon Mountain Range, Grand Elder Red Cauldron evaluated Azure Dragon Mountain Range as "the largest pill furnace in Ninth Gate".
This evaluation was too high.
Because Grand Elder Red Cauldron had the authority, everyone had to fawn over him, so he did not need to participate in all kinds of whirlpools and torrents, his position was very high, thus he appeared to be detached, he did not care about the battles between factions, the first time Grand Elder Red Cauldron heard that Meng Fan was a genius in alchemy, he had noticed him, and when Meng Fan became stronger, and the number of good Pills he refined also increased, Grand Elder Red Cauldron paid more attention to him.
When the Azure Dragon Mountain Range was completed, Grand Elder Red Cauldron had a lot of preferences for Meng Fan.
The beginning of the second year after Azure Dragon Mountain Range was completed, Meng Fan started to encourage disciples to trade Pills s with each other. In order to make the trade easier, Meng Fan opened the Pills exchange.
In other words, he could use low rank Pills and exchange it with Meng Fan.0
Meng Fan was able to refine a large number of high grade Pills and then exchange them with his disciples. Moreover, all of these methods were beneficial to his disciples, which greatly facilitated the trading of the Pills.
These Pills were all created by him, although the refinement method was difficult, the effects were amazing. He actually made the refining method of these Pills public for the Azure Dragon Mountain Range disciples to learn, which caused a wave of craze for refining pills.
In the next few months, the Azure Dragon Mountain Range became more and more prosperous and magnificent, with another few hundred disciples joining the Azure Dragon Mountain Range, making the number of hanger-ons of the Azure Dragon Mountain Range to reach seven thousand. The reason was very simple, many of the Grand Elders could already see that Grand Elder Red Cauldron was fond of Meng Fan, hence the questions and troubles on Meng Fan's body were all mystical skills that were completely useless in front of Grand Elder Red Cauldron.
And the number of Pills handed over to the sect every month, far surpassed any other mountain peak. Furthermore, according to Grand Elder Red Cauldron's statistics, nearly a quarter of the Pills handed in by the entire Seven Layers Sect came from the Azure Dragon Mountain Range.
That was very scary because other than Meng Fan, there were six disciples and over thirty supreme elders in the Seven School.
By the seventh month of the second year that the Azure Dragon Mountain Range was completed, the number of Pills that had been submitted had already reached one third of the seven great sects.
At this point, Azure Dragon Mountain Range had really become the largest pill furnace within the Ninth Gate that Grand Elder Red Cauldron had mentioned.
