The Dwarf Kingdom's technology could only extract potions with a concentration of 98%. Don't be fooled by the mere 1% difference; the effects were worlds apart.
It could be said that as long as one still had a breath left, Rimuru's potion could fully resurrect them even with severed limbs, having an effect similar to Nazarick's healing potions.
The Dwarf Kingdom's potions couldn't do that; they could only heal injuries but couldn't regrow limbs.
After Beta's research, the issue of potion concentration was resolved, and they successfully produced 99% concentration potions.
In order not to compete for business with Nazarick, Rimuru had people dilute the potions. Although the effect was slightly worse, they were cheap and affordable.
Nazarick's potions were expensive and suitable for powerful and wealthy adventurers. Once these types of potions from the Jura Tempest Federation were released, they gained the favor of a large number of ordinary adventurers.
The policy of small profits and quick turnover also allowed Rimuru to make a fortune.
There was another very important point: Rimuru built roads leading to various cities, with a guard post set up every few hundred meters along the roads.
As long as a merchant was attacked by monsters, they could fire a signal flare into the sky, and the Goblin warriors on duty in the guard posts would take action to eliminate the monsters.
It could be said that with this policy, the safety of the merchants was guaranteed to a great extent.
This was also why merchants were willing to conduct trade near the Jura Tempest Federation.
Of course, providing safety guarantees also required payment—think of it as a toll.
This allowed the Jura Tempest Federation to make another large profit.
There were also commercial streets, ramen shops, hot springs, hotels, and so on in the city; the profits from these things were also very substantial.
Although the area of the Jura Tempest Federation wasn't large and could only accommodate two to three hundred thousand people, it had everything one could need.
In just two short months, it had accumulated a huge amount of wealth, enough to make anyone envious.
Today, the Jura Tempest Federation was exceptionally lively because today was a small step for the Jura Tempest Federation to officially step onto the world stage.
At this moment, Rimuru was dressed in formal attire and had brought a group of subordinates to an open square in the city.
This was the location of the base's teleportation formation.
The group didn't wait long before the formation lit up, and then several figures stepped out from it.
"Hahaha, looks like I've arrived early."
King Gazel's hearty laughter rang out, followed by five or six high-level officials from the Dwarf Kingdom.
"Your Majesty."
Kagali and Beta were the first to step forward and bow.
"It's you two. How is it? You're living quite well here, aren't you?"
King Gazel patted their shoulders like an old friend of many years.
"We have been under the care of Lord Rimuru during this time," Beta replied.
King Gazel nodded slightly and then walked toward Rimuru.
"Yo~ Junior Brother, why haven't you come to spar with me recently?"
He said jokingly, with no air of a monarch at all.
"I've been busy organizing today's ceremony, where would I find the time?"
Rimuru shrugged helplessly.
The two had been getting along quite harmoniously during this time. Because of their connection through Hakurou, they usually addressed each other as brothers.
After returning from dealing with the Storm Great Tempest, Rimuru began to seriously learn combat techniques from Hakurou.
Perhaps because of King Gazel's swordsmanship, in his three hundred years of diligent cultivation, he had already surpassed Hakurou.
At Hakurou's suggestion, Rimuru was told he could seek out Gazel to exchange ideas whenever he was free.
Anyway, with the teleportation array, it was very convenient. After a few visits, the two became well-acquainted.
However, with the guidance of two sword masters, Rimuru's strength had indeed grown rapidly.
After the two chatted for a few moments, the teleportation array lit up again.
"Yahoo~ I'm here!"
Milim came hopping out of the formation, followed by high priest Midred, Hermes, and several other Dragon Worshipers.
"Hey, Rimuru, do you have any more of that honey from before?"
She came to Rimuru's side, grabbed his arm, and asked coaxingly.
"I remember I already gave you a jar last time."
"Only one jar, I finished it in no time."
Rimuru looked at the glutton before him speechlessly.
Some time ago, the Fishman Race living in the great river of the Jura Forest came to seek help.
They said a large water monster had appeared in the river and wanted to ask Rimuru, the Alliance Leader, to take action and slay the water monster.
The price was that the entire race would pledge loyalty to the Jura Tempest Federation.
Considering that traveling by water would make trade with the Dwarf Kingdom much more convenient, Rimuru took Gobta and the others to harvest a batch of delicious grilled fish ingredients.
From then on, the Dragonewts became the escort team for the trade ships.
On the way back, Rimuru's group encountered two mysterious Magic Insects.
One was a fifty-centimeter-long beetle-type Magic Insect, and the other was a thirty-centimeter-long bee-type Magic Insect.
To protect the bee-type Magic Insect, the beetle-type Magic Insect fought a B-rank monster, the Lone Blade Tiger, and killed it, but it was also on the verge of death, its body torn in half from top to bottom.
Fortunately, the two Magic Insects were saved by the passing Rimuru.
He used his own Multi-purpose Cells and Magisteel to repair them, naming them Zegion and Apito.
After this, Zegion's carapace turned into Living Magisteel, possessing the hardness of diamond and the flexibility of a living being.
The Ghost King, one of the Twelve Guardian Lords, was born just like that.
Of course, Rimuru didn't act for free.
Even though they were just two insects, they still had to pay the price they owed.
Rimuru ordered the bee Apito to collect high-purity honey for him; of course, what she collected wasn't ordinary nectar, but flowers extremely rare even in the Sanctuary.
Zegion was responsible for protecting Apito.
The yield of this extremely precious honey was very small, basically only producing two or three jars a month.
As a result, Milim, who was running around out of boredom, bumped into them, and the outcome naturally goes without saying.
Milim shook his arm.
"Hey, hey, Rimuru, we're best friends, right?"
"Of course."
"Then I want to eat honey."
Milim blinked her eyes and looked at Rimuru expectantly.
