"The cherries here are unique golden-rimmed cherries in Dragon Emperor Big Domain. They ripen in April each year. There are 50 mu of cherry orchard here. Each mu of cherry orchard could produce 1,500 kg of golden-rimmed cherries each year. Over 70,000 kg of golden-rimmed cherries a year …"
As they walked in the cherry orchard, Hong Yukun told those virgins who were picking cherries to continue their work after bowing to them. At the same time, he introduced the situation here to them, "Besides cherry orchard, there are also loquat, red banana, mulberry fruit, lime and bird-wood fruit in April. The smallest orchard is 50 mu; the largest one is over 200 mu. Previously, the fruits here were supplied to Dragon Emperor Pavilion, the four major departments and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor City. A small part of them would be sold as the welfare of the guards camp and farmers in Cloudriver Valley. Now, most of the fruits here have been transported to Cloudriver Castle for processing as raw materials of Dragon Emperor Medicament …"
After hearing Hong Yukun's words, more than one elder and president reached out to pick a golden-rimmed cherry and tasted it.
The golden-rimmed cherry tasted as same as before. However, how could such a fruit become Dragon Emperor Medicament? That was marvelous! Watching the dumbfounded looks of the elders and presidents, Zhang Tie revealed a faint smile inside.
Watching the dumbfounded looks of the elders and presidents, Zhang Tie revealed a faint smile inside. This was what Zhang Tie wanted. Actually, it was a micro-psychological manipulation like how a magician made a rabbit out of a hat. After these people visited Cloudriver Valley and found that these fruits were not special, they would be more curious about the marvelous items in Cloudriver Castle which could turn these fruits into squares. They would believe in the effects of those items and expose their backgrounds to Zhang Tie without any precaution.
The process was like how a magician showed the empty hat to them before making a rabbit out of his hat. The real marvelous part came later. That was also the reason why Zhang Tie made the trade between Emperor NvWa Palace and Emperor NvWa Palace so popular a couple of days ago. Today was the real show.
"Are all the ingredients of Dragon Emperor Medicament made of golden-rimmed cherries?" Guan Minjun asked as she watched these cherries carefully in the cherry orchard.
"Of course not. These cherries are just one of the raw materials of Dragon Emperor Medicament!"
After hearing that, the elders and presidents exchanged a glance with each other as a whim occurred to them, 'Perhaps the other raw materials are special.'
Therefore, they didn't ask any more questions; instead, they just let Hong Yukun show them around Cloudriver Valley.
Cloudriver Valley was indeed a good place. The air was fresh and the soil was fertile. When Dragon Emperor was here, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had made great efforts to manage this vegetable orchard well. Until now, when they made a tour tour around Cloudriver Valley, they could still see a large-scale reiki rune array on a mountain wall which had been flattened as high as 1,000 m. This rune array was not the only one in Cloudriver Valley. Many rune arrays were buried under the ground of Cloudriver Valley; some sunk into the river; some were used to control temperature; some were used to control humidity; some were used to drive pests away. What an extremely luxurious place …
With this arrangement, the Cloud River Valley became a place blessed by nature. The quality of the fruits and vegetables that grew there was clearly better than in other places.
Plum orchard, watermelon orchard, honey peach orchard, cantaloupe orchard, lemon orchard, wax apple orchard, heavenly orchard, phoenix peach orchard, snow pear orchard, longan orchard, thyme orchard, grape orchard, strawberry orchard, pomegranate orchard, orange orchard …
Cloudriver Valley was not large. The longest part of the valley covering dozens of square miles was less than 10 miles. Plus those natural forests and riverbanks which were covered with plants, there were actually not too many orchards here. Additionally, fruits were relatively scarce in Motian Realm. Therefore, it only took the immortal generals less than half an hour to visit all the available places in Cloudriver Valley.
Many of those orchards didn't have fruits at this moment as they were being taken care of by farmers. However, those elders and presidents couldn't stand picking some fruits and tasting them in the orchards in this season. They wanted to check whether those fruits were different or not.
After visiting and tasting the fruits in Cloudriver Valley, they were more shocked than before as they became extremely curious about the production of Dragon Emperor's Medicament.
Therefore, Hong Yukun led them back to Cloudriver Castle where Dragon Emperor's Medicament was produced as he couldn't wait to visit the production process of Dragon Emperor's Medicament.
The moment they entered Cloudriver Castle, they had found that all the virgins of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Cloudriver Castle had become female workers besides some guards and immortal generals who were on duty. Additionally, all of them were wearing weird, snow-white uniforms with their hair in a bun.
"Valley Master Hong … Erm, why are the virgins dressed like this as if they are in mourning?" Elder Xia Yangming widely opened his eyes as he asked those female workers who were sorting fruits.
"Ahem … ahem … Elder Xia, they're not wearing mourning clothes. It's His Majesty's order for them to dress like this. His Majesty said that they could ensure the sanitation and cleanliness of the production process of Dragon Emperor's Medicament. All the female workers in the production process of Dragon Emperor's Medicament should dress like this. In this way, anyone could easily discover any dirty thing on them …"
"Ah, I see. His Majesty's arrangement is really thorough!" All the others understood it right away.
Actually, the production process of Dragon Emperor's Medicament was not complex; especially as each process was separated in different "workshops" in Cloudriver Castle. Therefore, people could easily understand it.
After being transported to Cloudriver Castle, the ripe fruits that were picked from Cloudriver Valley would be sorted and cleaned. After that, they would be chopped into pieces and mixed together before being sealed in those clay pots. After that, they would be sent to the warehouse for storage and fermentation quietly. After that, the finished fermentation of Dragon Emperor's Medicament would be pushed out and put into vials one after another. In this way, the precious Dragon Emperor's Medicament was produced in large quantities.
Almost no man participated in the production process. Those female workers could easily handle everything with some simple tools and apparatuses.
In the beginning, those elders and presidents thought that this production process was very mysterious. However, after watching it, all of them became dumbfounded. They could understand each production process of Dragon Emperor's Medicament; however, after combining all the processes, they were still dumbfounded. 'This process is nothing different than making salted vegetables. Why do others make salted vegetables in this way; however, why do they make Dragon Emperor's Medicament in Cloudriver Castle?'
'No, there must be something that I've not noticed just now. That's the key of Dragon Emperor's Medicament!' 'If Dragon Emperor's Medicament could be produced in this way, it should have been widely available in Motian Realm millions of years ago. It's impossible for it to be available only now.'
When they were confused, Hong Yukun led them to a heavily guarded underground room in Cloudriver Castle.
If they wanted to enter this room, they had to pass through three floors of guards. Each floor was guarded by an immortal general of Dragon's Teeth Army. This room was like a heavily guarded treasure house.
After entering the room, they smelt an exotic fragrance which made them spirited at once. Closely after that, they fixated onto the only item in the room.
It was made of Air Floating Gold. It was suspended more than one meter above the floor of the room. It was incomparably exquisite, like a big lotus flower basin. A bead covered with mysterious runes was rotating in the lotus flower basin. There was a mysterious liquid rolling under the bead, gurgling out. The strange fragrance that could make people feel refreshed was emitted from the liquid in the big basin.
There was also a luminous pearl inlaid on the top of the lotus-flower shaped basin. The luminous pearl's brilliance was transformed into a beam of light through a red crystal through a strange light-gathering device, which enveloped the exquisite lotus-flower shaped basin. The light and shadow effect was particularly outstanding, like the birth of a superstar. Almost as soon as one saw it, one would know that the thing inside the lotus-flower shaped basin was definitely not ordinary.
After coming here, Hong Yukun became silent; instead, he fixated onto Zhang Tie.
After that, he walked to the front of the huge basin and watched the liquid in the huge basin affectionately. Closely after that, he turned around and said, "You must be wondering why those common fruits could turn into Dragon Emperor's Medicament after being fermented. Actually, the secret lies here. When those fruits were sealed in those terrines, each terrine had been filled with this mysterious liquid. Because of the effect of this liquid, those fruits could finally turn into Dragon Emperor's Medicament …"
"Your Majesty, may I ask what this liquid is?" Long Jiutian asked as he gazed at that liquid.
This was a question that almost everyone in the room wanted to ask at this moment.
"It's Dragon Emperor Liquid!" Zhang Tie said with a solemn look.
"Dragon Emperor Liquid?"
"Right, it's Dragon Emperor Liquid. The old man made it. I didn't ask him where he got it from. However, Dragon Emperor Liquid is indeed the key to making Dragon Emperor's Medicament …"
Zhang Tie continued to bullsh * t calmly. However, nobody in the room doubted Zhang Tie's words at all — — If not Dragon Emperor Liquid, how could those fruits turn into Dragon Emperor's Medicament after being fermented?
The so-called Dragon Emperor Liquid was what Zhang Tie made in Castle of Black Iron today. Zhang Tie had Heller inject a great amount of aura value and merit value into some senior spiritual spring. After that, he added some original liquid of yeast which had gone through the second mutation, two vials of senior recovery medicament, one vial of immortal strength medicament and one vial of arcana medicament that Zhang Tie brought from Taixia Country. Through such a mixture, this pot of oddities became shiny Dragon Emperor Liquid which carried infinite magic power.
Of course, in order to make this Dragon Emperor Liquid more effective, Zhang Tie even had Edward make such a delicate container which could float in the air using air-floating gold in Castle of Black Iron. After making a lot of efforts in packaging it, Zhang Tie finally pushed this Dragon Emperor Liquid to the public.
All the elders and presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace watched Dragon Emperor Liquid with astonished and complex looks.
The smell of some senior medicament in Dragon Emperor Liquid had already caused their throats to quiver as they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Unknowingly, Hong Yukun had already taken out some cups.
"Although Dragon Emperor Liquid is the foundation of Dragon Emperor's Medicament, it's also very beneficial to immortal generals. Its effect is even greater than that of Dragon Emperor's Medicament. Now that we're here, let's have a taste of Dragon Emperor Liquid. It's not that easy for us to drink it in the future …"
Closely after Zhang Tie's words, Hong Yukun had taken out some cups considerately. Zhang Tie stretched out his hand and shot a battle qi into the huge basin, causing the liquid in the basin to surge. Closely after that, it turned into 13 streams of water and fell into those cups that Hong Yukun took out, filling them up.
Zhang Tie then took a cup. At Zhang Tie's gesture, the others swarmed up and took a cup one after another. At the same time, they couldn't stand sniffing the exotic smell from the cup.
As Dragon Emperor Liquid was so precious, of course, they dared not drink it before Zhang Tie.
"Oh, the old man said that although Dragon Emperor Liquid has many benefits, it conflicts with Heavenly Soul Incense. If you've touched Heavenly Soul Incense these years, you'd better not drink it in case of accidents …" Zhang Tie said casually. Closely after that, he raised his head and bottomed up the liquid in his cup.
"Hahaha, Heavenly Soul Incense is rare and precious. Additionally, it only has the effect of hallucination. It's said that only some rapists would treat Heavenly Soul Incense as a treasure. How could we use it …" Ying Gucheng burst out into laughter. Watching Zhang Tie bottoming up the "Dragon Emperor Liquid", he smacked his lips as he sighed with emotions, "It's indeed exotic. There's indeed a mysterious strength in Dragon Emperor Liquid. Not bad, it's really something …"
The other Elders and Hall Masters also gulped down the contents of the cups in their hands …
