After leaving the Martial Tower, Qin Xin headed down to the foot of Tianxuan Mountain.

By asking some senior brothers and sisters, Qin Xin also learned how to obtain cultivation resources within the Tianxuan Sect.

However, after hearing their words, Qin Xin's face showed some helplessness, because unlike other sects that actively provide cultivation resources for their disciples,

All disciples of the Tianxuan Sect are completely self-reliant in terms of cultivation resources. If they encounter difficulties in cultivation or need to refine some pills, the elders can provide assistance, but they will charge a certain fee.

For a moment, Qin Xin was speechless at the unique method of training disciples used by the Tianxuan Sect, and only then did he understand why there were so few disciples on Tianxuan Mountain.

It seems that these disciples, like Hong Ye, have all gone off somewhere to search for cultivation resources and opportunities.

However, Qin Xin also greatly appreciated the Tianxuan Sect's method of cultivating disciples. After all, the help provided by the sect was limited, and this continent was full of dangers. If one only knew the protection of the sect and had no sense of crisis, then no matter how strong one was, one would only be a flower in a greenhouse. Only through constant trials could one withstand the hardships of wind and rain.

As they walked, Qin Xin passed by the medicinal herb field beside the mountainside.

The medicinal herbs here seem to have regained their vitality after being tended to.

Qin Xin didn't stop, and continued walking briskly down the mountain.

On his way to the Tianxuan Sect, Qin Xin first arrived at the teleportation array located on Tuocang Mountain. Because of the teleportation array, every day, some martial artists from the Tianxuan Sect's territory would gather here on Tuocang Mountain. Some wanted to go to other places through the teleportation array, while others came here to sell some pills, spiritual herbs, spiritual talismans, spiritual weapons, and so on.

This made the entire Tuocang Mountain very prosperous and lively. Although the mountaintop plaza was relatively quiet, this was mainly because of the need to protect the teleportation array, and Elder Sanbao also needed a quiet place to sleep, so he drove everyone away from the mountaintop.

Qin Xin hadn't paid much attention to it before, but when he arrived at Tuocang Mountain again, he discovered that there was a large wooden sign erected at the foot and halfway up the mountain.

"Tuocang Mountain!"

These characters are written too carelessly, as if no effort was put into writing them.

However, after seeing the signature at the bottom of the wooden sign, Qin Xin suddenly realized what was going on.

"Old Man Sanbao!"

Qin Xin was quite curious about the old man who was dressed like a beggar.

After entering Tuocang Mountain, Qin Xin looked around at the martial artists coming and going. The mountain trails had been opened up and many pavilions and buildings had been constructed.

Along both sides of the path, many martial artists had placed some spiritual herbs on the ground, as if these things were not very valuable.

Qin Xin also glanced at them curiously. Many of these spiritual herbs had reached the fifth grade, which would be difficult to buy even in the Eastern Wilderness, but they were not worth much in the Central State.

This is the fundamental reason why martial artists from the Central Plains are stronger than those from the other four states. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Central Plains is much richer, making it more suitable for the growth of spiritual herbs.

Looking at the dozen or so low-grade spirit stones he had left, Qin Xin was reluctant to spend them all on buying these spirit herbs.

"Hiring thugs! Ten low-grade spirit stones will be awarded upon completion of the mission. Requirements: cultivation level of at least the fifth level of the Yuanfu Realm!"

"Hunting a sixth-grade demonic beast will reward you with fifteen low-grade spirit stones upon completion of the mission. Requirement: Core Formation Realm cultivation!"

"Take care of the medicinal herb field, one low-grade spirit stone per day."

...

Hearing the shouts and cries around him, Qin Xin discovered many ways to earn spirit stones, but none of them were suitable for him. His cultivation at the ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm might be considered quite good in the Eastern Wilderness, but it was completely inadequate in the Central Continent.

Qin Xin simply strolled around Tuocang Mountain and found that most of the martial artists around him were at the Qi Sea Realm, and there were even some at the Core Formation Realm 3.

However, these stronger martial artists did not linger here. They would only stop briefly if they encountered something they needed, and would leave immediately after obtaining it.

As Qin Xin climbed to the mountainside, he saw a rather large complex of buildings.

The fiery atmosphere and rich aroma of elixirs emanating from this place told Qin Xin that there must be quite a few alchemists here.

As he slowly stepped forward, the words "Dan Yuan" came into Qin Xin's view, and he was quite curious about this place.

He saw that many martial artists were heading this way, and many others were leaving with joy on their faces.

Qin Xin was somewhat surprised by the environment inside the Pill Academy when he entered.

This place seems to have been artificially landscaped, a scene of birdsong and fragrant flowers. Although it occasionally exudes a fiery aura, there are many cold water droplets hanging inside this Dan Courtyard.

These Cold Water Pearls are born in a thousand-year-old icy pool. Each one is extremely precious. The cold air that they emit from time to time can have a very good brain-awakening effect on alchemists who are focused on refining pills.

After touring around, Qin Xin discovered that in addition to selling various pills, the alchemy academy could also help martial artists refine the pills they needed, for a fee.

Upon seeing a large group of martial artists gathered in front of a pavilion, Qin Xin walked over out of curiosity.

"Sigh, there's always a queue every time Ling Hanyan refines pills here!"

"There's nothing we can do. She's from the Tianxuan Sect, a sixth-grade high-level alchemist, beautiful, and her pill-refining skills are impeccable, so naturally she's very popular."

"However, I heard that Ling Hanyan was commissioned to refine a seventh-grade pill a couple of days ago. I wonder if she has finished refining it. If she has succeeded, she must already be a seventh-grade alchemist."

"If I could join the Tianxuan Sect and win the favor of Miss Hanyan, I could die in peace."

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Qin Xin was also somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected that Ling Hanyan would also be in this Pill Academy, and that she would be so sought after by so many martial artists.

However, Qin Xin also noticed the sign in front of the pavilion where Ling Hanyan was. It stated that a sixth-grade pill required three sets of refining materials. If the refining failed, it was not the alchemist's fault. If successful, the martial artist would be given a pill. For refining a fifth-grade pill, the initial grade required two low-grade spirit stones, the intermediate grade required five low-grade spirit stones, and the advanced grade required ten low-grade spirit stones.

"No wonder, alchemy is a violent profession!"

Looking at these prices, Qin Xin felt a mix of emotions and made some plans, figuring out how to make money in the Tianxuan Sect.
