For example, the [Sacred Image] and [Dao Yuan Pill] and so on.

If he cannot obtain the Sacred Image before ascending to the True Immortal Realm, and boost his aptitude with the Dao Yuan Pill, his future cultivation will likely be stuck in the advanced stage of the True Immortal Realm, making it difficult to ascend to the Great Luo Realm.

But if Wang Shouye can gather the four treasures: the [Sacred Image], [Dao Yuan Pill], [Sacred Fire], and [Sacred Pill Furnace], once he ascends to the True Immortal Realm, he can start attempting to refine Eleventh Grade Dan medicine.

The Wang family has already prepared quite a bit of Eleventh Grade Spiritual Medicine for him to indulge in.

By then, having inherited the Sacred Image, his bloodline could awaken to the twelfth level of Spotless Immortal Body, even refining Eleventh Grade Dan medicine can hone a fairly good success rate.

Unfortunately, none of these four items are easy to obtain.

As for the Dao Yuan Pill, the Wang family has seized a [Void Dao Yuan Fruit] from the Atana Tribe, which is the main material for refining the Dao Yuan Pill. Over the years, under deliberate collection by the Wang family, the auxiliary materials have also been gathered, qualifying them to open a furnace for Dao Yuan Pill.

However, while they have enough spiritual medicine, truly starting the furnace faces two obstacles.

The first obstacle is the refiner.

In the entire Dongxia Divine Dynasty, only the Taoist Master Taichu can refine the Dao Yuan Pill. The worrying thing is, Taoist Master Taichu is only a half-baked refiner of Dao Yuan Pill; he produced three pills from two furnaces and was delighted.

The second obstacle is the issue of sustainable cultivation and cultivation acceleration of the Void Dao Yuan Fruit.

As the highest-grade spiritual medicine humans can cultivate independently at present, the Void Dao Yuan Fruit requires an extremely harsh growth environment.

It can only grow and naturally bear fruit in the spirit cave of the Void Sea.

The Spirit Cave of the Void Sea is also the top resource in the Void Sea, belonging to strategic resources, far more rare than Eighth Grade Spirit Veins.

The Eighth Grade Spirit Veins, can be sought from a Taoist Master or Divine Emperor; if the relationship is good enough and one is willing to pay the price, there might be a chance to buy. But the Spirit Cave of the Void Sea, if one dares to ask for it, might be beaten out directly by the Taoist Master and Divine Emperor.

As a pure spiritual medicine, the spirit seed of the Dao Yuan Fruit is not as difficult as the spiritual root of an intelligent spirit plant; every fruit core of the Dao Yuan Fruit can be used as a spirit seed for planting, and extracted with special techniques for safe storage before refining.

The Wang family, having acquired a [Void Dao Yuan Fruit], also owns a spirit seed. However, so far, they haven’t managed to obtain a Spirit Cave of the Void Sea.

Fortunately, according to existing intelligence, the Void Dao Yuan Fruit was obtained by the Atana Tribe on the way, meaning that between the Divine Martial World and the Atana Tribe controlled area, there must be a Spirit Cave of the Void Sea.

Thus, Long Wuji and Li Xian, as they do business along the way, are also planning to explore the whereabouts of the Spirit Cave of the Void Sea.

The rise of the family is a heavy and long journey~~

Wang Shouzhe sighed in his heart.

Thankfully, with Shouye’s aptitude, it will take a few hundred years to ascend to the True Immortal Realm, so these matters do not need to be rushed.

However, this piece of Sacred Fire and that Sacred Cauldron can be taken back for Shouye to get familiar with. When Jiang Lihuo returns to redeem them, they can be retrieved.

Keeping the Sacred Fire safely, Wang Shouzhe continued the meeting with the three elders, introducing the follow-up products.

This business is something Wang Shouzhe values highly.

Not to mention anything else, just the lowest-grade Black Armor used by soldiers represents an enormous market.

Take the Tianrui Saint Dynasty as an example, with around four hundred million Spirit Platform Realm regular troops and reserves combined. If all their equipment were updated to the Wang family’s Black Armor, calculated at sixteen hundred Immortal Crystals per set, the total price would be sixty-four pieces of Chaos Spirit Stone.

With the Wang family’s current production process, the cost for a set is less than five hundred Immortal Crystals, yielding a gross profit of over forty Chaos Spirit Stones.

This low cost naturally benefits from the Wang family’s continuous improvement in large-scale smelting and mass forging technology.

Most parts are forged into rough casts with stamping first, then simply processed by assembly line by Artifact Refiners and Talisman Array Masters, resulting in a complete component. Moreover, these basic Artifact Refiners and Talisman Array Masters always handle only one component, so their efficiency and proficiency are imaginable.

In contrast, the Ji family’s armor production process remains stuck at the existing mode.

When they produce such low-level military armor, it often requires one skilled Artifact Refiner to lead a team of apprentices, forging and producing each set of armor. Such manual forging, the efficiency is naturally extremely poor.

The Ji family’s armor labor cost far exceeds the raw material cost, while the Wang family’s armor has the raw material cost occupying a larger proportion of the total cost. If the Wang family can bulk purchase the raw materials at the Ji family’s price, the comprehensive cost would be further reduced significantly.

"Your Majesty, please look again at the magical treasure-grade battle armor for Heavenly Human Realm Captains or elite Heavenly Soldiers. Look at this handsome appearance... the entire set is priced at only twenty-two thousand Immortal Crystals! We can provide it at a bottom price of eighteen thousand Immortal Crystals."

"Your Majesty, take a look at the Purple Abode Armor! Just thirty thousand Immortal Crystals, only thirty thousand Immortal Crystals a set to take home."

"And this exquisite Divine Power Armor, the full set requires only four hundred eighty-eight thousand Immortal Crystals! Don’t miss it as you walk by. Of course, the artifact spirit is a blank artifact spirit, requiring long-term nurturing."

The more top-tier the battle armor, the greater the difficulty in mass forging, but the Wang Clan’s Artifact Refining Headquarters continues to overcome challenges, embedding cost reduction into their core.
