Ling Hanyan had already approached Qin Xin and was looking him up and down.
Her beautiful eyes revealed an indescribable expression.
Qin Xin was able to refine this broken martial pill in one go, which means his alchemy skills are even stronger than those of a typical mid-level fifth-grade alchemist, and he has even reached the level of a high-level fifth-grade alchemist.
Perhaps because he was still in the Qi Sea Realm, his true qi was insufficient to support the entire alchemy process during the refining of a fifth-grade pill.
Qin Xin looked at Ling Hanyan, who was staring at him with curiosity, and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Senior Sister Ling, if I said that this was completed by chance, I don't think you would believe me."
Ling Hanyan looked directly at Qin Xin without any change in expression and said, "What do you think?"
Seeing Ling Hanyan's reaction, Qin Xin didn't tease her any further. He could only explain, "I knew the recipe for this broken martial pill before, and I just tried it and succeeded. I almost failed along the way."
Hearing Qin Xin's words, Ling Hanyan was naturally half-believing and half-doubting. However, the near failure in the middle was mainly due to Qin Xin's own strength. If he had entered the Yuanfu Realm, he could have easily suppressed the energy of the beast crystal of a level 5 wood attribute demon beast through Yuan power.
"I believe your alchemist skills have already reached the advanced fifth rank. Why don't you take the alchemist exam?" Ling Hanyan asked with some doubt.
It's important to understand that there's a significant difference in treatment between a fourth-grade alchemist and a fifth-grade alchemist, much like the difference between a sixth-grade advanced alchemist and a seventh-grade beginner alchemist. These different levels represent a bottleneck for alchemists, and overcoming them is no easy feat.
Even in the Central Plains, there are not many alchemists of the fifth rank or above, so even some large families and sects have great respect for these alchemists.
Qin Xin could only shrug at Ling Hanyan's question and say, "I've only just arrived at the Tianxuan Sect, so I don't know much about things in Zhongzhou."
Upon hearing Qin Xin's words, Ling Hanyan seemed to suddenly realize that it was normal for Qin Xin to have arrived at Tianxuan Sect only a few days ago. She then said gently, "There is a place for alchemist assessment in the Pill Academy of Tuocang Mountain. Fifth-grade alchemists can apply to the Pill Academy for a pavilion, and then they can receive martial artists and help them refine pills in exchange for payment."
"It's quite nice staying with Senior Sister Ling. I'll go take the alchemist exam again in a while," Qin Xin replied with a smile. He knew that if he applied for a pavilion, no one would ask him to refine pills. Staying with Ling Hanyan meant he didn't have to worry about refining pills and wouldn't be disturbed.
Ling Hanyan naturally saw through Qin Xin's thoughts. Right now, her pavilion was in need of a medicine boy to receive martial artists who came to seek alchemy, and Qin Xin was a perfect choice.
Thus, the two, each harboring their own ulterior motives, tacitly reached a cooperation agreement.
"By the way, Qin Xin, I'm very curious. When you were refining that broken martial pill, you were only at the Qi Sea Realm, so how were you able to fuse the energy of the beast crystal with the purified spiritual medicine?" Ling Hanyan couldn't help but ask curiously.
Qin Xin didn't hide anything. After all, he was refining pills in her place, so he explained some of his experience in refining pills to her. "Different spiritual herbs have different fire resistance, and the energy of beast crystals is more violent, so it is unlikely that they can be naturally fused together during the fusion process..."
After Qin Xin's explanation, Ling Hanyan seemed to fall into deep thought, gaining considerable insight into Qin Xin's experience in alchemy.
Seeing Ling Hanyan like this, Qin Xin smiled slightly. These alchemy insights were all summarized by Dan Qing, a master alchemist. To fully comprehend them would probably not be so simple.
Seeing that Ling Hanyan was deep in thought, Qin Xin did not disturb her. After taking out the amount of Five Elements Condensing True Pill and Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill that he had previously entrusted to be refined, he turned around and left the pavilion.
"Hey! Someone's coming out!"
"How could it be a man?"
"This guy looks like a pretty boy."
"Alright, let's stop discussing this. If we anger Miss Ling, we might not have anyone to help us refine our pills."
Qin Xin naturally heard the discussion of the group of people outside the pavilion, but he didn't pay attention to it and walked towards the main hall of the Pill Academy.
The main hall of the Pill Academy is where the entire Pill Academy sells or purchases pills.
As soon as he stepped inside, a maid led Qin Xin to a small room next to the counter.
Qin Xin sat in the room and looked around. He was wary of the strength of the Pill Academy, because even the most ordinary maids here were at the Qi Sea Realm.
As he was pondering, a woman dressed in an alchemist's robe slowly walked into the room.
"Oh? Brother Qin Xin, did Han Yan send you here to sell pills?"
Yun Li was slightly surprised when she saw Qin Xin.
"Vice Dean," Qin Xin said, standing up as well. He glanced at Yun Li's chest and noticed that she was also a mid-level sixth-grade alchemist.
"Sit down and take out the pills you want to sell. Since they're sold by Han Yan, she'll naturally give you the highest price." Yun Li gestured for Qin Xin to sit down, looking somewhat anxious, as if there were other pills waiting for her to inspect.
Qin Xin didn't stand on ceremony at all and took out all the Five Elements Condensing True Pills and Yellow Dragon Profound True Pills that he had previously refined.
These two kinds of pills were no longer of much help to Qin Xin's cultivation, so he sold them and exchanged them for other spiritual herbs, such as the Hundred Spirits Gathering True Pill, a high-grade fourth-rank pill, which was still somewhat helpful to Qin Xin's cultivation at the moment.
Upon seeing the pills Qin Xin had placed before her, Yun Li's eyes, which had initially remained calm, widened in surprise upon seeing the medicinal herbs.
Some couldn't wait to take out the pills and examine them carefully in their hands.
"Crimson Pattern!"
After taking out a Five Elements Condensing True Pill with pill patterns, Yun Li's eyes lit up with joy, and she murmured, "That girl Han Yan actually refined a Five Elements Condensing True Pill with pill patterns. It seems that her pill refining skills have improved quite a bit."
After scanning the pills, Yun Li also noticed something was wrong with them. "These pills are still warm, and the flames don't smell like the Blue Heart Flame. It's really strange."
Then Yun Li took out the other pills and examined them one by one. "More than 90% of these pills have reached perfect quality, which is very good."
"Here's what we'll do. This Five Elements Condensing True Essence Pill is a low-grade fourth-rank pill. Although its quality is excellent, the price isn't very high. I'll give you one low-grade spirit stone for each one. Of course, you can also exchange it for gold coins. One pill is worth ten thousand gold coins."
"As for this Yellow Dragon Profound True Pill, I'll give you two low-grade spirit stones for each one."
Upon hearing Yun Li's offer, Qin Xin nodded in agreement. Her offer was quite high. Qin Xin roughly calculated that the pills he had were worth about fifty low-grade spirit stones.
After Yun Li had the maid take away the pills, she directly handed fifty low-grade spirit stones to Qin Xin.
Qin Xin directly put it into his spatial ring.
Seeing Qin Xin's trust, Yun Li asked with some doubt, "Fifty low-grade spirit stones is no small amount. Brother Qin Xin, shouldn't you count them?"
"Of course I trust the vice dean," Qin Xin said with a grin. "I wonder if the Pill Academy has any medicinal herbs for refining the Hundred Spirits Gathering True Pill?"
"The Hundred Spirits Gathering True Pill? A high-grade fourth-rank pill, there are plenty in the Pill Academy. Does Brother Qin Xin need it?" Yun Li was also curious when she heard that Qin Xin needed this spiritual medicine.
Qin Xin nodded directly.
"The ingredients for one Hundred Spirits Gathering True Pill are three low-grade spirit stones," Yun Li said with a smile, announcing the price.
Qin Xin frowned slightly. "Three low-grade spirit stones?"
