Huang Feifei's breakthrough process was smooth under the wild surge of spiritual energy.
It only took a few days for her to successfully break through and become a true Void Refining realm expert.
After recuperating and consolidating in the space for another year, Xiao Fei finally returned to his room and brought her out.
Following this secluded advancement, Huang Feifei's comprehension of the Law of Life had greatly increased, and her ability to heal others with the law had become even stronger.
Thus, Xiao Fei and Huang Feifei's small shop reopened for business, serving cultivators from the entire Tianyuan Realm.
"Brother Xiao, have my pills been refined?"
Wei Feng of the Qianji Sect was still the one responsible for interacting with Xiao Fei. He had sent over a batch of precious materials a few days prior, and today was the agreed-upon day to collect the pills.
"Your pills were refined long ago."
As Xiao Fei spoke, he placed three jade bottles on the counter before him.
"These three low-grade Blood Lotus Pills are the result of this refining session."
"Additionally, the other two bottles contain three mid-grade Blood Lotus Pills and one high-grade Blood Lotus Pill respectively. If Daoist Wei needs them, you can purchase them with spirit stones, with a twenty percent discount."
"Really! Yes, yes, of course I want them!"
Wei Feng was overjoyed.
Previously, when seeking Xiao Fei to refine pills, even a single high-grade pill required some cost.
This time, the three mid-grade pills were genuinely extra, and he could purchase them with spirit stones at a twenty percent discount.
Wei Feng happily paid the spirit stones and took the pills.
Subsequently, when other families came to collect their pills, they also discovered this point and left satisfied.
Xiao Fei had changed his strategy for refining pills for others. In addition to the three ordinary pills required for each batch, he would also take out some of the mid-grade and high-grade pills from a batch and offer them to clients for purchase with spirit stones at a twenty percent discount.
If he had a large stock or pills he didn't need, he would offer even more mid-grade and high-grade pills.
The first to benefit from this proximity were naturally the major top-tier powers of the Tianyuan Realm.
These major powers discovered that Xiao Fei could now produce so many mid-grade and high-grade pills in each refining batch.
Shocked, they immediately brought out all the pills they needed refined, setting aside their pride to request Xiao Fei's services.
As for purchasing the extra pills with spirit stones, it was not an issue for them; they were never lacking in spirit stones.
When this news spread, it immediately caused a sensation throughout the entire Tianyuan Realm.
It was already an extraordinary feat for a alchemist to occasionally produce a single high-grade pill.
Alchemists with such abilities would usually become incredibly arrogant, looking down on everyone.
To maintain their reputation, they would not easily agree to refine pills.
Occasionally, when they did agree, they would prepare thoroughly, bathing and fasting before commencing the refining process, and even then, there was no guarantee of producing high-grade pills.
Xiao Fei's ability to produce a large number of mid-grade pills in every batch, and at least one high-grade pill, was truly unheard of and unseen.
Thus, Xiao Fei ascended to the pinnacle of the entire Tianyuan Realm's alchemy world, hailed by its cultivators as the number one alchemist.
Wearing the title of the number one alchemist, Xiao Fei remained unfazed and under no pressure. To avoid causing too much of a stir, he only revealed a portion of his capabilities.
Now, more and more cultivators sought him out for pill refining daily.
He accepted all requests without refusal, throwing them into his space for Number Two to handle the refining.
The battle between the Tianyuan Realm and the Undead World would not end in a short time, and the demand for Xiao Fei to refine pills and Huang Feifei to heal injuries remained high.
Both of them continued to charge spirit stones as payment. After another two years, Xiao Fei's space had accumulated hundreds of millions of spirit stones.
Looking at this vast pile of spirit stones, Xiao Fei felt that he could finally prepare to break through to the Void Refining realm.
Coincidentally, his Number Three body had already been cultivated.
Number Three's aptitude was the same as Number One's. After a few days of rest, Number Three was arranged to sit in the pill refining shop daily with Huang Feifei.
Number One, however, quietly returned to the space to prepare for his breakthrough.
However, he also discovered that with his current soul strength, he could only control three bodies simultaneously at most.
Any more, and his divine soul would be insufficient to manage them.
It seemed his idea of having a large group of clones work simultaneously was temporarily unachievable.
Number One's body lay down in the most comfortable position in the space, then released some of the restrictions set on his body and fell asleep.
As he slept, the spiritual energy in the space uncontrollably surged into his body, and the Hunyuan Gong automatically circulated under the stimulation of the spiritual energy.
Xiao Fei slept soundly. In his dreams, his realm naturally progressed to the Void Refining realm.
The moment he broke through, the jade disk within his body did not disappoint him, once again rapidly absorbing spiritual power to repair the cracks on its surface.
The dense spiritual energy in the space was drawn into his body, replenishing much of the consumed energy.
At the same time, the wooden boxes that Xiao Fei had pre-arranged around him were all opened, their spirit stones rapidly dissipating as all the spiritual energy was absorbed into Xiao Fei's body.
Xiao Fei's divine soul was now completely merged with the jade disk, and he had gained a slight degree of control over it, allowing him to direct the location of the cracks being repaired.
However, this limited ability was not of much practical use.
As the cracks on the jade disk were repaired, the space's area also began to expand rapidly, becoming increasingly vast.
During his previous advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, the space had reached thirty-six thousand mu. This time, advancing to Void Refining consumed more spirit stones, but the space's area expanded quickly.
After a few days, Xiao Fei's body's frenzied absorption of spirit stones finally ceased.
The total area of his space had now reached 360,000 mu.
With the increase in space area, he could now cultivate more spiritual plants and herbs, and nurture more thousand-year-old spiritual medicines.
A patch of land in the space slowly rose, gradually forming a small mountain.
The Dao Comprehension Spring that had appeared during his last advancement also expanded tenfold during this spatial expansion.
The output of the Dao Comprehension Spring should also increase tenfold in the future.
Xiao Fei finally woke up, feeling the surging spiritual power throughout his body, sensing that his strength had increased at least tenfold.
Upon reaching the Void Refining realm, advancement required more spiritual power, and he no longer had to worry about having too good an aptitude and advancing too quickly.
