Materials like flower buds from the Ambrosial Arbor, pieces of the Abundant Ebon Deer's body, and many others were produced at a breakneck speed.
Pei Guang and Stelle stored the materials in their shared inventory, while March 7th and Bailu sorted them. For things like deer meat and deer hides, Bailu was boldly experimenting.
For rarer materials, March 7th just made random attempts, but thanks to Pei Guang's teachings, she had learned to make two samples of everything first. After getting a few additional materials, she'd continue the experimentation.
Some deer meat was turned into jerky to eat, while some was combined with Bailu's special medicinal herbs and coffee to produce a healing effect.
As they continued experimenting, they ended up creating some useful items.
For example, when Bailu mixed the black ash from mistakenly synthesized Ambrosial Arbor roots or the Abundant Ebon Deer body parts with coffee, after testing it, they found it had resistance to Abundance power. The more of each material they used, the stronger the effect and longer the duration.
The Abundant Ebon Deer's fruit, when combined with the medicinal herbs chewed by Bailu and swirled with coffee in her mouth, could create the "Ambrosial Great Peach." This peach could fully heal any injuries and restore all stamina. The taste was sweet, with a lingering aftertaste. After one bite, all pain was gone; after two, broken bones could regenerate. After three, even those on the brink of death could be revived.
After testing, Bailu found there were no negative side effects, except that eating too much could cause discomfort and sleepiness. If you had a smaller mouth, you might need a few more bites. If your mouth was bigger, you could get by with fewer.
This wasn't Bailu trying to gross anyone out by spitting into the mix—she truly considered Pei Guang, Stelle, and March 7th as her close allies, pulling out all her hidden talents.
As the saying goes, "Everything on a dragon is a treasure." And Bailu's saliva was considered a precious "dragon's treasure."
Not every Vidyadhara member's saliva could be used in this way, only those of the highest rank. Bailu might not be the current Vidyadhara High Elder, but she was destined to become one. Her dragon horns and tail were evidence of her unique potential, and because of this, her saliva was a rare treasure on Xianzhou.
Now though, she was using it in their experiments.
By infusing these materials with a bit of Imaginary power, combined with the Nihility and Abundance energies in her cauldron, she was able to create consumables with no side effects, and even controlled the energies to perfect the recipe.
There was one downside: these peaches were in limited supply. Every time the Abundant Ebon Deer fully revived, Pei Guang and Stelle could harvest two peaches. However, as the deer revived more times, the peaches became fewer and smaller.
Yes, under the brutal dissection by Pei Guang and Stelle, the Abundant Ebon Deer's recovery speed had been slowing down, while the root system connected to the Creation Furnace was also slowly retreating.
Pei Guang noticed this and urgently reminded Stelle, "Hurry up! Hurry up, the root system of the Ambrosial Arbor might not hold much longer. Let's try to harvest as much as we can before it realizes what's happening. Damn it! It's not an infinite glitch."
Stelle and the Herta Puppets responded, "Got it!!!"
Not far away, Welt watched this scene and rubbed his forehead. No wonder Master Gongshu suspected them to be Denizens of Abundance. With this kind of harvesting method, even they would find it hard to endure.
The cycle was perfect—harvest, then use the materials produced for more harvesting, forming a smooth loop.
Unfortunately, this loop only lasted a little over half an hour, as the Ambrosial Arbor root system couldn't hold up any longer.
The Abundant Ebon Deer was incredibly strong—so strong that even if it were killed, it would resurrect instantly. Any fatal wounds would heal in seconds. The Ambrosial Arbor roots it summoned could provide great support. But in the end, all of this became nothing more than resources and materials.
At the same time, Pei Guang's actions showcased to Welt what true efficiency meant. He was now certain that the only reason the Abundant Ebon Deer was still alive was due to Pei Guang's abilities and resources not being fully aligned yet. If they were, this Abundant Ebon Deer wouldn't even last a minute.
When Pei Guang once again struck down the Abundant Ebon Deer, its body completely collapsed. As the corpse began to disintegrate, Pei Guang and Stelle didn't hesitate and immediately began collecting everything they could.
However, when they were about to collect its last eye, Stelle, slightly fearful, looked at Pei Guang and said, "Ah Guang, its eye... it looks so full of rage."
Pei Guang reassured her, "Rage? What's that going to do? It'll just become another material. Don't worry. It's just a wild monster. It doesn't have any real guilt. If we let it out, more people will die. We're doing the world a favor. But you're right, that angry head actually looks pretty collectible. Let's take it."
The Abundant Ebon Deer's final death had, in the end, provided Pei Guang with even more value.
At the same time, noticing the root system he was about to collect, Pei Guang quickly unsheathed his sword and severed the Ambrosial Arbor roots that had entangled the Creation Furnace.
As he was about to store these roots in the communal storage space, Pei Guang noticed that the space was already full, and he fell into deep thought.
"I say, how much have you two made?" Pei Guang asked as he casually collected the large roots into his own storage space and then walked over to March 7th and Bailu. When he saw what they were doing, he was stunned.
