"boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck.

Yuan Ying originally thought that the lightning tribulation would damage the surrounding formation.

But what she didn't expect was...

Qin Xin actually stepped directly into the void.

Holding the Xingtian Sword, he drew the lightning tribulation directly towards himself.

Despite the powerful surge of lightning, it did not cause Qin Xin any harm.

This scene also attracted the attention of many city guards.

The lightning tribulation of the Spirit Enlightenment Pill quickly subsided, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth returned to calm.

However, outside the garrison of the 36th Squad of the City Defense Force, there were already quite a few martial artists, all curious about who was refining pills here.

Yuan Ying naturally didn't want these people to come and disturb him.

If an eighth-grade alchemist were to be poached like this, it would be a great loss for them.

After taking a step, the aura he released caused the surrounding martial artists to leave in a huff.

They were very clear about Yuan Ying's strength.

If you really anger her, you'll be in deep trouble.

Qin Xin, on the other hand, was unaware of what was happening outside.

After the elixir was finished, they also walked out of the pavilion.

He ran right into Yuan Ying and was slightly taken aback.

Thinking back to the previous tribulation of pill lightning, he had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"The pill was successfully refined so quickly?" Yuan Ying asked Qin Xin.

Qin Xin nodded directly and handed her the five Spirit Enlightenment Pills.

Of course, Qin Xin didn't only refine one Spirit Enlightenment Pill in one batch; he kept all the others.

After Yuan Ying received the Spirit Enlightenment Pill, he felt the warmth emanating from it.

It was clear that the pill had just been refined.

For a moment, their eyes turned to Lin Fan with some surprise.

It is important to know that the Spirit Enlightenment Pill is difficult to refine and the process is complicated. Even some high-level eighth-grade alchemists cannot guarantee that they can refine every single pill.

Furthermore, the arrival of the Pill Lightning Tribulation further increases the failure rate of pill refining.

However, in Yuan Ying's view, the tribulation lightning seemed to have no effect on him at all.

"I'll keep two of these Enlightenment Pills for myself; consider the rest as your reward."

Although Yuan Ying knew how precious the Spirit Enlightenment Pill was, he still returned three to Qin Xin.

Qin Xin simply waved his hand.

"It's alright, I've already kept a portion for myself since I refined a lot."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Yuan Ying's eyes.

This means that Qin Xin refines more than one Spirit Enlightenment Pill from each batch of medicinal herbs.

Their alchemy skills were truly a stroke of genius.

If the other stronger teams found out, they would probably disregard the rules and rush to snatch him away.

"Fine! Then I'll accept it."

"But I still have to tell you something."

"You can't refine pills here anymore."

"The city's garrison has a special area for refining elixirs."

"After all, there are defensive formations scattered throughout the entire Yunxi City."

"If these lightning tribulations are unleashed indiscriminately, they may cause some damage to the formation."

After listening, Qin Xin nodded.

I sensed this when I was dealing with that lightning tribulation before.

Although Qin Xin was confident that he would not let all these lightning tribulations fail.

However, if something goes wrong, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that Qin Xin agreed, Yuan Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Are you heading to the city defense hall now?

Yuan Ying watched as Qin Xin prepared to leave and asked him a question.

"Yes, let's see if we can buy some alchemy materials."

"I was just about to go check it out too, let's go together."

After saying a few words, Yuan Ying led the way.

Qin Xin was somewhat surprised, not expecting her to come with him.

However, she didn't say anything; having her around would save a lot of trouble.

...

City Defense Hall.

A large flow of people.

This is the heart of Yunxi City.

All resources and tasks are assigned here.

Furthermore, the contribution points earned can be exchanged for whatever you want here.

After Qin Xin followed Yuan Ying inside, he attracted a lot of attention.

Yunying's appearance is considered top-tier among the city's defenders.

She simply prefers to wear armor and doesn't dress up intentionally; otherwise, she could have been just as popular.

Several people who seemed to know Yuan Ying came up, greeted him a few times, and then left in a hurry, as if they had received some kind of mission.

Upon arriving at Old Li's place, Yunying gave him a special instruction not to rip people off before going to see if there were any suitable missions for their team.

Old Li looked at Qin Xin with a big smile on his face.

He was naturally aware of Qin Xin's identity as an alchemist.

So after Qin Xin revealed the elixir he wanted, Old Li quickly prepared it and offered a relatively low price.

"This Nine Spirits Heavenly Enlightenment Pill is a mid-grade eighth-rank pill."

"Moreover, the value of the elixir requires five contribution points."

"How about I get you some more materials for refining the Spirit Enlightenment Pill?"

"Although the Spirit Enlightenment Pill is much inferior to the Nine Spirits Heavenly Enlightenment Pill, it is relatively easier to refine."

Old Li was somewhat puzzled when he saw that Qin Xin had asked for a portion of the Nine Spirits Heavenly Enlightenment Pill.

This elixir is extremely valuable in Yunxi City.

It would be a pity if it were wasted.

"It's okay, I want to give it a try."

Seeing that Qin Xin was determined, Old Li didn't say anything more.

"A total of eight contribution points, I've already crossed them off for you."

"Keep these elixirs safe."

Old Li returned the identity token to Qin Xin.

The original ten above has become two.

Just as Qin Xin was about to put all the spiritual herbs into his spatial ring.

Suddenly, a surge of elemental energy appeared, locking all the spiritual herbs in place.

"Um?"

Qin Xin did not lock his heart tightly.

With the mobilization of Yuan energy, the force was instantly broken away.

All the elixirs were also collected.

"Hmph! You don't know what's good for you!"

"You dare to take what I've set my sights on!"

After a soft shout, a very young-looking person appeared.

A man carrying a jade folding fan walked over, followed by two maids.

To Qin Xin's surprise, the man had the mark of an alchemist on his chest.

"Eighth-grade intermediate alchemist".

With just a glance, Qin Xin immediately judged the opponent's strength.

"Ahem, this person is Lu Tong."

"His father is the leader of the city's defenses and also the chief ninth-grade alchemist of Yunxi City."

"Qin Xin, you'd better be careful."

"If it's something he wants, then give it to him."

"If you've crossed him, you might have a hard time defending this city in the future."

Old Man Li hurriedly spoke to Qin Xin from the side.

The city guards around seemed to be very wary of Lu Tong.

Although some people were a little annoyed, they quickly made way for him, not wanting to have a conflict with him.
