In the Space, Wang Hong strolled leisurely, enjoying the solitude of his own world without any disturbance. His mood became tranquil and relaxed.
Currently, all the Spiritual Herbs here were of third tier or higher. Except for a few Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Herbs, all first and second tier ones had been harvested and stored in his inventory.
Due to the addition of many fourth tier Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Herbs, some of which required substantial space and had longer growth periods, the Space had taken up a considerable amount of space.
Some of the third tier Spirit Fruit trees had been growing in the Space for over twenty thousand years, their crowns sprawling expansively.
Many of the trees that had previously grown in the Space had been moved to Qizhou Island due to their space-consuming nature, significantly increasing Great Chu Immortal Nation's sources of income.
For instance, the Qiu Long Tea, which he had regarded as a treasure in the Hezhou continent, had a patch planted in the Space, but only the mother tree had mutated.
The tea trees propagated from branches, even if they grew for Ten Thousand Years in the Space, remained the same as before.
Wang Hong only kept two of these unchanged tea trees for personal use and transplanted the rest to Qizhou Island.
Now, the Qiu Long Tea produced by Great Chu Immortal Nation had gained a significant reputation in the Fengwu Continent and was highly sought after by Cultivators in various cities.
Unfortunately, the production of Qiu Long Tea was limited, with only one small shop selling it in each city. Each batch of freshly picked tea was auctioned off, and the prices fetched grew higher each year.
However, Wang Hong had no intention of expanding the planting area. Rarity commanded value, and genuine famous teas of the Cultivation World only had one or two tea trees in existence, all of which grew in famous mountains and rivers.
There were already quite a few Qiu Long Tea trees, so he had left many for his subordinates to use.
The only thing in the Space that hadn't decreased was the mountain-like pile of Spirit Wine. Some of these Spirit Wines had been aging for over twenty thousand years.
Whenever these Spirit Wines appeared outside the Space, they would cause powerful fluctuations of Spiritual Energy.
Once, he had taken out a jar and had a Nascent Soul stage subordinate take it to Fengwu Continent for auction.
This subordinate nearly lost his life because of it. Fortunately, other companions came to his aid, allowing them to quietly return to Qizhou Island and stay hidden for several years.
Wang Hong strolled leisurely in the Space, passing by the area where the gourd vine was growing. This was the third time this vine had grown.
Previously, each time it bore a Yellow Gourd, he had harvested two Yellow Gourds in total.
The Profound Spirit Elixirs produced by these two gourds had been rewarded to his subordinates, which transformed many of those with originally poor talents into genius Cultivators.
Not far from the gourd vine was the strange iron tree, which was now over ten feet tall but had not shown any other changes.
Wang Hong walked over and buried some ores nearby before heading towards the Fusang Wood.
His purpose for coming this time was to harvest more Fusang Wood and refine the remaining Flying Swords.
This set of sword techniques could control up to sixty-four Flying Swords and even form a complete sword formation.
Harvesting Fusang Wood wasn't easy. When attacked, it would automatically release the Golden Crow Fire.
The power of Golden Crow Fire was comparable to the essence fire of the sun, something ordinary Cultivators or magic weapons couldn't withstand. Fortunately, he now had Flying Swords refined from Fusang Wood, which made harvesting much easier.
For a long time after that, Wang Hong remained in seclusion, refining Flying Swords, occasionally emerging to handle state affairs.
At the same time, he didn't neglect his cultivation. He used pills to enhance his cultivation level, tempered his Spiritual Power, practiced Divine Sense techniques, absorbed gray crystal stones, and strengthened his physical body.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed in haste.
In the cave mansion, Wang Hong sat cross-legged, surrounded by sixty-four crimson lights swirling around him like swimming fish.
With a single thought, all sixty-four crimson lights entered his body, flowing into his dantian, and circled around his Nascent Soul.
Over the past ten years, he had not only successfully refined this set of Flying Swords but had also practiced repeatedly until he could control them effortlessly with his mind.
At the same time, he had exhausted all the crystals he obtained from the Desolate Spirit Sea last time. Now, his physical strength far surpassed that of a fourth tier savage beast. He felt that he might even be able to contend with a fifth tier savage beast.
However, these were just his own speculations. To know for sure, he would need to confront a fifth tier savage beast.
After retracting the Flying Swords, he slowly stood up and walked out of the cave mansion.
"Congratulations on emerging from seclusion, Your Majesty!" Xu Lun greeted Wang Hong and immediately bowed.
"Is there anything urgent recently?" Wang Hong inquired.
"Your Majesty, I'm pleased to inform you that we have invested all the resources gained from the last trade with the Southern Region of Hezhou into the development of Fengwu Continent. In the past ten years, we have opened one thousand new shops, and now we have established fifteen cities in Fengwu Continent," Xu Lun reported, summarizing the achievements of the past decade.
"Well done! Excellent work!" Wang Hong praised. With the existing shops, there were now over a thousand, enough to support the current one million population of Great Chu Immortal Nation.
"Your Majesty, it has been ten years since the last trade with the Southern Region. Shouldn't we plan for a second trade?" Xu Lun suggested, clearly tasting the sweetness of success and likely having contemplated this matter for a while.
"Very well, you may proceed with the preparations," Wang Hong agreed.
Xu Lun happily took his leave to arrange the goods for the trade.
Due to the last trade with the Southern Region, many new workshops had been constructed. After completing their tasks, these workshops had not disbanded but continued to refine various items, which were then sold in the shops of Fengwu Continent. Any unsold items were supplied to other businesses at a low price.
Wang Hong's intention was to maintain these workshops even if they didn't turn a profit.
Therefore, over the past decade, these workshops had nurtured a large number of talents.
Currently, although Great Chu Immortal Nation might not be as powerful as some major forces, it had laid a solid foundation both in terms of its military and the talents within the Ministry of Works.
Preparing the goods this time was faster than the last, taking only six months to complete.
The total quantity was similar to last time, but the proportion of high-tier Spiritual Objects was slightly higher this time.
Because if the cultivators of the Southern Region were to consume all the Spiritual Objects from last time, their overall cultivation levels would undoubtedly rise significantly.
The same group of people was responsible for the caravan, led by Zhang Chunfeng, Jia Liang, Xu Lun, Hu Jian, and others.
Additionally, Wang Yi was given the opportunity again to gather supplies for Taihao Sect and accompany the fleet of Great Chu Immortal Nation to trade with the Southern Region.
This time, Wang Yi was not alone but brought along his Dao Companion, Feng Ai.
Previously, Feng Ai had failed to advance to Nascent Soul stage even after taking the Nascent Formation Pill gifted by Wang Hong. Later, Wang Yi managed to obtain another Nascent Formation Pill for Feng Ai.
Fortunately, Feng Ai's aptitude was not too poor. On the second attempt, she finally succeeded in forming her Nascent Soul.
As a result, Taihao Sect now had three Nascent Soul Cultivators.
