“These golden cherries are exclusive to Dragon Emperor Big Domain. They are ripe in each April. The cherry orchard occupies 33,350 square meters in total. Every 1,000 square meters of orchard could produce 1130 kg cherries. This orchard could produce over 35,000 kg of cherries in total annually…”

As they wandered in the cherry orchard, Hong Yukun asked those virgins who were picking cherries in the orchard to bow towards these visitors as he explained them the situation facing this region, “Besides cherry orchard, there’re also orchards of loquats, red bananas, mulberries, limes and bird wood fruits. The area of the orchards ranges from 33,350 square meters to over 133,400 square meters. Previously, these fruits were supplied for Dragon Emperor Pavilion, the four major departments and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Dragon Emperor City. Few of them were gifted to the guardians and farmers in Cloudriver Valley. They were allowed to see them for profits. But now, most of the fresh fruits will be stored in Cloudriver Castle and become ingredients of Dragon Emperor Medicament through the process…”

After hearing Hong Yukun’s words, more than one of the elders and presidents reached out their hands as they picked a golden cherry and tasted it.

‘The golden cherry tastes as same as before. But how could it become the ingredient of Dragon Emperor Medicament? Has some conjuration been applied to these fruits? That’s marvelous!’

Watching the surprised looks of those elders and presidents, Zhang Tie smiled inside because this was what Zhang Tie wanted. To be honest, this a subtle mind control just like how a magician conjured a rabbit out of his hat. After visiting Cloudriver Valley and finding that these fruits were nothing special, they would be more curious about the item that could make these fruits marvelous and would be more convinced by the effects of those ingredients. As a result, they would be less alert about Zhang Tie.

The current step was like showing the empty hat to the audience before conjuring a rabbit out of the magician’s hat. The real splendid part had not come yet. That was why Zhang Tie publicized the trade between Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace and Emperor NvWa’s Palace. That day Zhang Tie was just beating gongs and drums to attract the attention of the public; today, he was going to perform it.

“Is Dragon Emperor Medicament only made of this golden cherry?” Guan Minjun who was observing these cherries suddenly asked Zhang Tie.

“Of course not, this cherry is just one of the ingredients of Dragon Emperor Medicament!”

After hearing Zhang Tie, those elders and presidents exchanged a glance with each other as a whim occurred to them. ‘Perhaps the other ingredients are special.’

Therefore, they didn’t ask Zhang Tie anymore; instead, they just wandered across Cloudriver Valley with the guidance of Hong Yukun.

Cloudriver Valley was indeed a good place with fresh air, crystal water and fertile land. When Grand Dragon Emperor was here, in order to manage the vegetable garden of Grand Dragon Emperor, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace spent a lot of efforts to improve it. Even now, they could still see a large-scale reiki-gathering rune array on a 1,000-m high cliff which had been flattened. This rune array was not the only one in the valley. Many rune arrays were buried under the earth of Cloudriver Valley; some were at the bottom of the river. Some rune arrays could adjust temperature; some could adjust moisture; some could drive away pests. What a luxurious arrangement!

With such an arrangement, Cloudriver Valley became advantaged as the fruits and vegetables here were growing much better than that in other places.

Plum orchard, watermelon orchard, nectarine orchard, casaba orchard, lemon orchard, wax apple orchard, nightshade orchard, peach orchard, snow pear orchard, longan orchard, passion fruit, grape orchard, strawberry orchard, pomegranate orchard and orange orchard…

Cloudriver Valley was not large. Covering dozens of square miles, it was less than 7 miles in length. After deducting the areas of natural woods and sloping fields and benchlands being covered with natural woods and plants, there were not too many orchards here. Additionally, there were not too many kinds of fruits in Motian Realm. Therefore, it only took the immortal generals less than half an hour to visit everywhere possible in Cloudriver Valley.

Many orchards didn’t bear fruits in this season. Farmers were taking care of them. In each of the orchards with fruits, all the elders and presidents would pick a couple of fruits to taste them. They would like to see whether there was something special with those fruits.

After seeing and tasting all the fruits, they were more shocked as they became curious about the production of Dragon Emperor Medicament to the extreme.

Therefore, Hong Yukun took them back to Cloudriver Castle where Dragon Emperor Medicament was produced. They couldn’t wait to see the production process of Dragon Emperor Medicament.

After entering Cloudriver Castle, they found that all the virgins of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had become female workers. With a tall bun, they were all in eccentric pure white uniform.

“Lord Hong… why do they look like putting on mourning apparels?” Elder Xia Yangming asked Hong Yukun as he goggled at the female workers who were sorting out fruits.

“Ahem…ahem…Elder Xia, they are not putting on mourning apparels. They dress like that at the order of His Majesty. According to His Majesty, the production process of Dragon Emperor Medicament could remain clean in this way. All the female workers should dress like that. Any dirty things could be easily discovered…”

“Oh, I see. Your Majesty’s arrangement is really considerate!” All the elders and presidents nodded as they acclaimed it in unison.

Actually, the production process of Dragon Emperor Medicament was not complex; especially that each procedure was carried out in an independent workshop.

After being picked in Cloudriver Valley, the ripe fruits were transported into Cloudriver Castle, where they would be sorted out and cleaned. After that, they would be mixed with each other and sealed in terrines. Then, they were moved to the warehouses for fomentation. After being well fermented, Dragon Emperor Medicament would be filled into vials by batches.

Almost no man was needed in the whole production process. Those female workers could easily deal with everything with the help of simple tools and instruments.

In the beginning, the elders and presidents thought that this production process was very mysterious. After watching it, they were all stunned. They could see clearly each procedure of the production of Dragon Emperor Medicament; however, according to their knowledge, such a process could only lead to pickled fruits. They could never imagine that it could lead to Dragon Emperor Medicament.

‘No, there must be something that I’ve ignored, which is the key of Dragon Emperor Medicament! If Dragon Emperor Medicament could be produced in this way, it should have long been put into market millions of years ago. ‘

As all the elders and presidents were full of doubts, Hong Yukun took them to an underground room which was strictly guarded.

They needed to pass three batches of guards, all of whom were immortal generals of Dragon Teeth Army. Therefore, this room felt like a treasure house being strictly guarded.

After coming to the room, they instantly smelt a special fragrance which made them spirited. Closely after that, they fixated onto the only item in the room.

It was a huge basin made of air-floating metal in the shape of lotus flower hovering 1 m higher in the air. A bead being covered with mysterious runes was rotating in the huge basin while a mysterious liquid was rolling and gurgling out, which gave out the special fragrance.

Besides, a legendary luminous pearl was embedded in the huge basin. The light of the legendary luminous pearl covered the extremely delicate huge basin in terms of a beam of light through a red crystal plate of a bizarre optical block. The light and shade effect was evident, making the liquid in the basin as brilliant and eye-catching as a superstar. At the sight of it, people would know that the liquid in the basin was a rarity.

After coming to this room, Hong Yukun became silent as he fixated onto Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie revealed a casual smile as he walked to the front of the huge basin. After taking a soulful look at the liquid inside the huge basin, Zhang Tie turned around and said, “You must be curious why those ordinary fruits would become Dragon Emperor Medicament after being well fermented. All the secrets lie in here. Before those pieces of fruits were sealed in terrines, this mysterious liquid has already been put in each terrine. Because of the effect of this liquid, those fruits finally become Dragon Emperor Medicament…”

“Your Majesty, may I know what’s that liquid?” Long Jiutian asked as he kept a close eye on the liquid.

Almost all the others had the same question at this moment.

“It’s Dragon Emperor Liquid!” Zhang Tie said solemnly.

“Dragon Emperor Liquid?”

“Right, it’s Dragon Emperor Liquid. It’s developed by the old man. As for the details, I don’t know either. Whereas, it’s the key of Dragon Emperor Medicament…”

Zhang Tie continued to bamboozle casually; however, none of the visitors doubted Zhang Tie at all——If not Dragon Emperor Liquid, how could those fruits be made into Dragon Emperor Medicament through fermentation?

The so-called Dragon Emperor Liquid was made by Zhang Tie in Castle of Black Iron——Zhang Tie let Heller fill a large amount of reiki value and merit value into senior spiritual spring; after that, he added some original liquid of yeast which had been mutated for the second time, 2 vials of senior recovery medicament, a vial of immortal strength medicament and a vial of secret medicament. Actually, the so-called shiny Dragon Emperor Liquid which appeared having endless magic was such a mixture.

Of course, in order to make Dragon Emperor Liquid more eye-catching, Zhang Tie especially had Edward build such a delicate container using air-floating metal which carried a nice light and shade effect. Through such a delicate package, Zhang Tie finally displayed Dragon Emperor Liquid to them.

All the elders and presidents of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace were goggling at Dragon Emperor Liquid with complex expressions.

The fragrance of those senior medicaments made everyone’s throat dry as they couldn’t stand to swallow their saliva.

Hong Yukun had already prepared some glasses.

“Dragon Emperor Liquid is the key of Dragon Emperor Medicament. It’s very beneficial to immortal generals. Its effect is even greater than that of Dragon Emperor Medicament. Now that we’re here, let’s try Dragon Emperor Liquid. It would not be easy for you to drink it in the future…”

Closely after Zhang Tie’s words, Hong Yukun had placed well some empty glasses. Zhang Tie reached out his hand as he released a wisp of battle qi into the huge basin, causing the liquid in the huge basin to surge heavily. In a split second, 13 water flows filled those glasses.

Zhang Tie picked one glass as he implied the others to take one too. All the others moved forward and took one. Closely after that, they sniffed the special fragrance forcefully.

As Dragon Emperor Liquid was very precious, Zhang Tie didn’t drink it instantly, not to mention the others.

“Oh, the old man said Dragon Emperor Liquid goes against Heavenly Soul Incense despite having a lot of benefits. If some of you touched Heavenly Soul Incense in recent years, you’d better not drink it in case of trouble…” Zhang Tie warned them casually. Closely after that, he raised his head and drank it up.

“Hahaha, Heavenly Soul Incense is rare and very expensive; additionally, it could cause hallucination. It’s said that only some lecherous thieves treasure Heavenly Soul Incense. How could we use that…” Ying Gucheng said as he burst into laughter. After watching Zhang Tie drink it up, he drank it too. Smacking his lips, he sighed with feeling, “It tastes special and carries a mysterious strength. Not bad! It’s indeed a rarity…”

All the other elders and presidents drank up their own liquid…
