Gu Rong indulged in fantasy for only a brief moment before returning to reality. He let out a helpless sigh.
"The position of Sacrificial Dao Lord is simply too far away. I only hope that one day, I can step into godhood."
The others shared similar sentiments. One after another, they shook their heads with bitter smiles.
"We couldn't even resist exchanging for pills or body-tempering methods. Forget the Sacrificial Dao Lord. If one day we can become gods and personally witness the World Boss Li described, then our lives won't have been lived in vain."
The words quickly drew agreement. Even the ferocious beasts joined in, expressing hopes of achieving godhood someday and traveling to that World—one where all races stood equal beneath the heavens.
The dream itself was beautiful. After all, having lofty aspirations meant a broader future path.
Li Rong nodded slightly in approval.
"Then you'll all need to work hard. Without sufficient sacrificial coins, you won't be able to exchange for pills or cultivation techniques that allow you to reach godhood on your own. Earn more coins. Strive toward your goals."
As long as they had objectives and worked tirelessly for them, their faith value would naturally rise.
With the discussion concluded, everyone gradually returned to the matter at hand.
Seeing that there were still insufficient sacrificial coins to establish all five medicinal fields, Gu Yuena made a decisive choice.
"Then we'll start by building four—earth, metal, fire, and wood."
Li Rong raised an eyebrow.
"This allocation corresponds to the attributes of your fierce beasts, doesn't it?" he said calmly. "But has Your Excellency misunderstood something? The four pills I provided earlier were not free."
Di Tian and the others froze.
Not free? You never said they cost money!
Li Rong met their stunned gazes evenly.
"Have you ever seen high-grade items given away for free? Do I look like I'm running a charity? Before taking out the pills, I clearly explained the shop's rules. You consumed them voluntarily."
After a brief recollection, Di Tian and the others realized he was telling the truth. They had indeed agreed without objection.
With a resigned sigh, Di Tian took out the Qianyuan Disaster Aversion Pill.
"What is the total value of all four pills?"
"The Elixir of Enlightenment, Grade 4—12,000 sacrificial coins.
The Black Realm Pill, Grade 5—110,000.
The Qianyuan Disaster Aversion Pill, Grade 6—800,000.
The Transformation Pill, Grade 7—4,600,000."
Li Rong paused briefly before continuing,
"These four bottles were brought by me personally, so no reservation fee applies. Total: 5,522,000 sacrificial coins."
Seeing that everyone acknowledged the debt, Li Rong produced a crystal card, completed the transfer, and handed it to Gu Yuena.
"The remaining balance is 17,868,000. Including what was left after purchasing the Nine Revolution Rebirth Pill, the total is 18,030,000 sacrificial coins."
Gu Yuena nodded.
"How much do the corresponding spirit herb seeds cost?"
"One medicinal field requires thirty portions. Each portion costs 10,000."
That meant 300,000 per field in seeds alone. Adding construction and elemental pearls, a single spirit field totaled 5,280,000 sacrificial coins.
With their current funds, only three fields could be established.
After finishing the calculations, Bi Ji relayed the numbers. Gu Yuena pondered briefly, then decided without hesitation.
"Let's construct the earth, fire, and wood spirit fields first."
This configuration suited Xiong Jun, the Ten Thousand Demon King, the Scarlet King, and Bi Ji, while also benefiting the giant ape and python nearby.
Li Rong understood her reasoning and offered no comment. He simply deducted the payment.
"Balance: 2,190,000 sacrificial coins. Please come to the shop at the beginning of next month to collect the reserved items."
Before Bi Ji could ask further, Li Rong continued smoothly, already anticipating her question.
"Our shop is currently stationed near Sunset Gate in the southern district of Heaven Dou City. Upon arrival, guests will naturally see it. For medicinal field excavation and construction, the shop provides automatic services. You only need to reserve adequate space. As for planting techniques and key management, a detailed manual will also be provided."
Hearing this, Di Tian and the others finally felt reassured.
Before they could even express gratitude, Dugu Bo couldn't help but complain,
"Boss Li, then why didn't my medicinal field receive automatic construction? I spent half a day digging soil with Yan Yan!"
"You only bought seeds," Li Rong replied flatly. "No spirit bricks. What automatic construction service would you need?"
Dugu Bo was instantly speechless.
Golden Crocodile, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan, however, were intrigued. Yue Guan leaned over with curiosity.
"Old Poison, what kind of herbs are you planting?"
Dugu Bo shot him a glance.
"Would you tell me what's inside your herb pouch?"
Tell you? You'd block my door the moment the mission ends.
Snubbed, Yue Guan huffed and fell silent.
Ignoring the human Spirit Masters entirely, Gu Yuena asked,
"The activity list refreshes monthly. What happens if limited items like pills sell out?"
"You'll need to wait for the next refresh—or place a reservation."
Gu Yuena immediately turned to Bi Ji.
"Bi Ji, are you willing to permanently station yourself in Heaven Dou City for the sake of the Spirit Beast race? If so, this crystal card will be entrusted to you."
"My Lord," Bi Ji replied solemnly, "Bi Ji is willing."
Di Tian frowned slightly.
"My Lord, Bi Ji's combat power is limited. Will this be safe?"
"It will be fine," Gu Yuena said calmly, sweeping her gaze over the five guards behind Li Rong. A faint but oppressive aura descended instantly.
"Human Spirit Masters know what is important. And I never said Bi Ji would be stationed there alone."
The beasts were startled. Another would be sent?
But with five medicinal fields in the future, each requiring protection, Di Tian himself guarding the Lake of Life, there were no spare hands.
"You will escort Bi Ji to the Far North," Gu Yuena continued. "Explain everything to those two there. One of them will accompany Bi Ji to Heaven Dou City and obey her orders. Each harvest, Star Dou will share 2,000,000 sacrificial coins with them."
"Two million?!" Xiong Jun blurted out.
Gu Yuena glanced at him coldly.
He instantly lowered his head.
"Isn't that… too much? One million should be enough! We paid all the initial costs!"
"Then you go guard Heaven Dou City," Gu Yuena replied lightly. "I'll give you one million."
Guard a human city, follow rules, and lose freedom—for less money?
Xiong Jun instantly changed his tone.
"This subordinate has no objections. None at all."
What a simpleton.
Dugu Bo couldn't help complaining internally—if Ning Fengzhi ever met this bear, wouldn't he be tricked into losing everything?
Gu Yuena ignored him and handed the Transformation Pill to Bi Ji.
"Take this with you. If they doubt you, give it to them directly. Snow Hime's heavenly tribulation should be approaching. This pill suits her perfectly."
This time, no one objected.
After all, with three medicinal fields, they could earn around 15,000,000 sacrificial coins in fifty years—no, 13,000,000.
But that was enough.
Thirteen million could already buy more than one Transformation Pill. They still had over ten thousand years ahead of them.
As long as their Lord remained, Grade 7 pills would no longer be an unreachable dream.
