After listening to Qin Yao's explanation, Qin Mu couldn't help but feel a deep respect. The Qin family had sacrificed so much to protect the Three Passes. Although it was also for their own family, the Qin family's contributions to the Central Plains could not be denied.
"Young Master Qin, do you have any way to solve this problem?" Qin Yue asked sadly.
"There's no way! The Five Elements Pill isn't meant to make someone have a single constitution. The type of medicine determines the effect, and taking two different Five Elements Pills can easily ruin a person!" Qin Mu shook his head and said.
"Ah!" Qin Yue was extremely disappointed. In that instant, she also showed the vulnerable and emotional side of a woman. Although Qin Yue was also disappointed, he only frowned slightly.
"Actually, there might be another way," Qin Mu said, somewhat uncertainly.
"Oh! Huai Dao, you have a way?" Qin Yao asked in surprise.
"I'm not entirely sure either!"
"It's alright, tell us what you think, and we'll discuss it. Even if we're wrong, it's okay," Qin Yao encouraged Qin Mu when he saw his hesitation.
"Both the Book of Documents and the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic record that the five elements generate and restrain each other. If we put them in groups of five and have them cultivate together for a long time according to the characteristics of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, it might improve their situation," Qin Mu analyzed.
"Oh dear! How could I not have thought of that!" Qin Yao exclaimed, slapping his forehead.
"Father, do you think it's feasible?" Qin Yue asked.
"It's feasible! It's highly probable! They already possess combined attack techniques, and their strength will increase significantly when they join forces. Long-term training together will make their spiritual energy more stable and pure. The weakness of not being able to improve their strength should also be mitigated," Qin Yao analyzed with delight.
"It would be best if they ate and lived together, creating a balanced environment for them from the outside," Qin Mu suggested.
"Huai Dao is right! Thank you so much for solving a problem that has plagued us for countless years." Qin Yao patted him on the shoulder gratefully.
"Father, you've forgotten, there aren't many Five Elements Pills left," Qin Yue reminded him.
The Qin family could create two or three people with a single bottle of Five Elements Pills. Each time they entered a secret realm, the Qin family could gain ten or twenty more people. However, with the disappearance of the secret realm, the source of the Five Elements Pills was cut off. For a moment, the three members of the Qin family, father and sons, all looked at Qin Mu.
Fortunately, Qin Mu was already prepared. He smiled and said, "The Five Elements Pills were prepared by our sect for my cultivation. There aren't many of them. I can take out ten bottles, which is the maximum number I can give. Any more would affect my cultivation."
The quantity is certainly more than that, but taking too much at once makes it seem less precious. Giving away precious things creates even greater favors.
As expected! All three members of the Qin family showed gratitude, and Qin Yao breathed a sigh of relief. With ten bottles of pills, at least his generation would have enough, and he would also have several decades more to find other ways to make up for the lack of experts in the Qin family.
"I can't thank you enough!" Qin Yao stretched out his hands and firmly supported Qin Mu's arms.
"The Five Elements Alchemist Sect has left behind the production method, but with my current strength, I am not yet able to do it."
"Take your time, it's okay. Just write down a list of what materials you need, and we'll help you collect them," Qin Yao said happily.
Of course! This suited Qin Mu perfectly. Telling Qin Yao that he could refine the Five Elements Pill in the future would not only bind the Qin family to his cause and strengthen their relationship, but also allow him to hope that the Qin family would help him collect medicinal herbs. The Qin family was large and powerful, with many people, and with the Taihang Mountains as their base, it should be easy for them to collect medicinal herbs.
"I don't know how long it will take me to learn alchemy."
"It's alright, let's collect the medicinal herbs first."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, kid." Qin Mu declined for a moment, but then accepted.
The four of them arrived at the military camp quickly. Qin Yao led them to an empty warehouse and told the others to leave.
Qin Mu didn't delay. He took out the Heavenly Mystery Tower, communicated with it using his mental power, and immediately a large number of weapons and armor appeared on the ground. As Qin Mu moved around, more and more appeared.
To release something from the tower, one only needs to surround it with their mental energy; a single thought will bring it to within a ten-meter radius. To collect something, the same applies; with Qin Mu's current strength, he can collect it remotely from within a five-meter radius. Of course, this is because his spiritual space is vast and his mental energy is strong; ordinary people simply cannot do this.
The ability to project one's spiritual energy is a mark of a martial artist's advancement to the rank of general, and even Confucian scholars can only achieve this at the Grand Scholar level. One can imagine how great the benefits of the secret realm are.
Before long, the once empty warehouse was filled with things, and the four of them had retreated to the doorway, while Qin Yue and the other two looked on in shock.
"I'm sorry, many of them are damaged and need to be repaired before they can be used." Qin Mu's face was a little pale from the considerable mental exertion. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said apologetically.
"Goodness! So many! These must be the people who died in the great battle back then, right? Just look at these wounds, you can tell how fierce the battle was." Qin Yue exclaimed in amazement.
"Huai Dao, you must remember this: you absolutely cannot let anyone know that your treasure can collect so many things," Qin Yao said seriously.
Seeing his expression, Qin Mu knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly nodded. Actually, this was due to the lack of knowledge on their part; Qin Qiong only knew it was a rare treasure and told him not to show it to others easily. Little did he know, how many treasures in the world possessed such a vast space? It could be said that he alone could supply an army of 100,000; not to mention others, even the emperor would be envious.
"You two, keep what happened today to yourselves. If word gets out, I will not let you off easily!" Qin Yao turned around and said sternly to Qin Yue and his sister.
"clear!"
"We know!" The two siblings nodded vigorously.
"Yue'er! Take some men and seal this place off. Arrange for another team of soldiers to come in tonight to create the illusion that someone else brought it in." Qin Yao nodded in satisfaction and gave the order.
"Here you go!"
"Let's go back to the manor. I must entertain you properly today," Qin Yao said to Qin Mu with a smile.
"The orcs are still outside the pass, so let's not bother!" Qin Mu declined.
"Don't worry, Huai Dao! The orcs withdrew overnight last night! Otherwise, why would I be staying in the manor today?"
"The orcs have withdrawn!" Qin Mu was deeply surprised. He hadn't expected that the orcs, who had come with a million-strong army, would return without even fighting a single battle.
"The orcs definitely have something on their minds, but I don't understand what they're looking for. Luckily, Huai Dao, you took all the items from the secret realm! These guys made a wasted trip!" Qin Yao said happily.
"Could they be after the orc corpses below the secret realm?" Qin Mu thought for a moment and said.
"Are there more corpses down there?" Qin Yao asked, his expression changing.
"Below the secret realm lie the remains of millions of beastmen. They have been used to power the secret realm and its formations for thousands of years," Qin Mu explained.
