It took Qin Xin more than a week to refine over fifty portions of Hunyuan Dan spiritual medicine.
During this period, Xiahou Chu and Yang Ruoyi visited the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy several times. They came to buy pills and stopped by to see Qin Xin.
As an alchemist, Qin Xin was naturally not stingy and gave Xiahou Chu and Yang Ruoyi a lot of pills.
Since the two men were familiar with Qin Xin, they naturally accepted the gift without hesitation.
However, what puzzled Qin Xin was that, through the spiritual sense he left behind, he also discovered that Ling Hanyan had come to the door of Qin Xin's alchemy room, but hesitated for a while and did not enter.
Qin Xin was refining the Hunyuan Pill at the time, so he didn't go out to ask what was going on.
If it were something urgent, Ling Hanyan wouldn't be acting like this.
After resting for about half a day, Qin Xin had almost fully recovered the vital essence he had consumed, and then he slowly stood up.
After more than a week of intense pill refining, Qin Xin was radiating intense heat, but this also made his internal energy purer and his explosive power stronger.
After briefly tallying the results, Qin Xin found a total of ten Hunyuan Pills with pill patterns. The refining process of these ten pills was the most arduous for him, because he dared not make the slightest mistake, as failure would end the entire refining process in failure.
In addition to refining these ten Hunyuan Pills with pill patterns, Qin Xin successfully refined a total of twenty perfect-quality Hunyuan Pills, and fifty high-grade Hunyuan Pills.
Even the lowest quality products from a family with average quality have twenty pieces.
There are exactly one hundred and twenty Hunyuan Pills in total. If the price is reasonable, it will be no problem to collect all the spiritual herbs for the Heavenly Soul Fusion Blood Pill with these Hunyuan Pills.
After collecting all the Hunyuan Pills, Qin Xin left the alchemy room.
After taking a deep breath of the fresh air, Qin Xin realized that he was not really suited to staying in his room for long periods of time to refine pills. However, he was short of money at the moment, so he could only try his best.
After arriving at the main hall of the Pill Academy, the maids who had been rewarded by Qin Xin noticed his figure from afar and immediately went forward to greet him.
The moment Qin Xin stepped into the main hall of the Pill Academy, he heard a mocking voice.
"Wow! What a grand display!"
Upon hearing this somewhat disdainful voice, Qin Xin followed the sound and happened to see Zhuge Tao, with whom he had previously had a minor disagreement.
During the fifth-grade advanced alchemist assessment, this guy and his master tried to give Qin Xin a hard time, but unexpectedly Qin Xin directly refined a two-pattern Breaking Martial Pill, leaving the other party speechless.
However, Zhuge Tao's master, Li Xi, still owes him an apology.
Qin Xin originally didn't want to pay much attention to Zhuge Tao, but the other party seemed to be deliberately trying to cause trouble. He strode around with great speed, holding a bottle of pills in his hand, which was still slightly warm, as if he was deliberately showing off to Qin Xin.
"Judging from your appearance, you must be here to sell pills." Zhuge Tao said sarcastically as he saw Qin Xin take some medicine bottles out from the counter. "If you ask me, those trashy Nourishing Yuan Pills shouldn't be left here in the way. Here, these are two Hunyuan Pills. Help me sell them first."
Zhuge Tao placed the medicine bottle directly in front of Qin Xin; it was impossible for him not to have done it on purpose.
Because Zhuge Tao was initially at another counter, but after seeing Qin Xin arrive, he directly cut in line.
The maids in the alchemy academy were all opportunists. When they saw Zhuge Tao take out the Hunyuan Pill, they naturally realized that the pill was made by him.
Many of them had stayed in the Pill Academy and were quite skilled at identifying pills. After seeing Zhuge Tao proudly take out two Hunyuan Pills, they judged that both pills were of low quality, but they were still genuine Grade 6 primary pills.
If Zhuge Tao can successfully refine this Hunyuan Pill, it won't be long before he passes the sixth-grade beginner alchemist assessment. At that time, his status in the Tuocang Mountain Alchemy Academy will be improved, and he may even have the opportunity to become the dean of a branch of the Tuocang Mountain Alchemy Academy.
Once you become the dean of a branch of the Dan Academy, the profits are self-evident.
Although Qin Xin would reward them with spirit stones when he arranged tasks for them, and they had a lot of goodwill towards him, they were still very shrewd when it came to status and strength.
Qin Xin disliked causing trouble, but he was absolutely not afraid of death. Since Zhuge Tao shamelessly came up to him seeking attention, Qin Xin naturally had to oblige.
Looking at the pills dangling in Zhuge Tao's hand and listening to the compliments around him, Qin Xin uttered a very discordant remark, "You have the nerve to cut in line with just these two trash pills?"
As soon as Qin Xin said this, many curious alchemists around him turned their attention to him.
A sixth-grade alchemist enjoys considerable privileges within the Tuocang Mountain Alchemy Academy, which allows them to form small groups with other alchemists. If Zhuge Tao is interested, even if Qin Xin is a fifth-grade advanced alchemist, his future days in the Alchemy Academy will likely be difficult.
For alchemists, commissioned alchemy is the most profitable business. If these people intend to suppress Qin Xin, then he won't be able to get a single order.
Upon hearing Qin Xin's disdainful words, Zhuge Tao burst into laughter. "Hahaha, you, a fifth-grade advanced alchemist, are mocking a near-sixth-grade beginner alchemist. It seems you're just jealous."
"Oh? A potential sixth-grade alchemist? Never heard of him!"
Qin Xin glanced at Zhuge Tao with disdain, then placed all ten medicine bottles on the counter.
Because the pills were in bottles, it was impossible to determine their grade and quality immediately. However, seeing that Qin Xin had taken out ten bottles, Zhuge Tao naturally concluded that these were all Nourishing Essence Pills.
After all, for a high-level fifth-grade alchemist, refining a Nourishing Essence Pill is quite remarkable. Moreover, even if Qin Xin refined a two-pattern Breaking Martial Pill like before, it would pale in comparison to the Hunyuan Pill in his hand.
Zhuge Tao could already see Qin Xin's expression when he mocked him. Back then, Qin Xin had refined those two Breaking Martial Pills, causing him to lose the bet, and his teacher had punished him for quite some time.
Now that he has such an opportunity, Zhuge Tao naturally wants to take revenge.
"You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. I've already brought out my Hunyuan Pill, and you have the nerve to release your trash pills?" Zhuge Tao said sarcastically.
Even many martial artists and alchemists who were on good terms with Zhuge Tao joined in the commotion.
Faced with this scene, Qin Xin shook his head helplessly.
"Ugh, it's so annoying! There are flies everywhere I go!"
