Qin Xin is nominally a mid-level fourth-grade alchemist, but his true strength is far greater than that.
During the Eastern Wilderness Pill Gathering, Qin Xin was already able to refine the fifth-grade primary pill, the Nourishing Essence Pill. Now, with the improvement of his strength, refining some slightly more complex fifth-grade pills is no longer a challenge for Qin Xin, but the prerequisite is that he needs the pill formula.
I was just about to leave to find out how to replace refining pills.
A woman walked out of the pavilion and, upon seeing Qin Xin, exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Brother Qin Xin, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing Ling Hanyan address Qin Xin as her junior brother from inside the pavilion, the group of martial artists who were queuing up to have their pills refined were filled with envy.
"Come on in and let's chat, there are a lot of people here," Ling Hanyan said, stepping forward to greet them.
Qin Xin didn't stand on ceremony. He had some questions to ask, so he followed Ling Hanyan into the pavilion.
The interior of the pavilion was simply furnished. A black alchemy furnace was placed inside, with pale yellow flames burning slowly within it, constantly releasing heat to the surroundings.
Just as Qin Xin was looking around at the furnishings, a delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils.
Instinctively, Qin Xin sniffed the scent a couple more times. The fragrance was quite unique. Through his spiritual sense, Qin Xin knew that someone was coming from behind him, and it was a woman.
As he turned around, Qin Xin nearly bumped into the woman standing behind him.
"Ouch! Young man, you almost bumped into me."
A sweet, delicate voice suddenly rang out.
Qin Xin stared at the woman in front of him with a dark expression. Her clothes were quite daring and revealing, with a large expanse of her white chest exposed.
Seeing the woman's reaction, Ling Hanyan felt somewhat helpless and stepped forward to say to her, "Yun Li, he is my junior brother, don't scare him."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect as well. You're quite handsome, though. I wonder if you have a Daoist partner? This way, sister..." Yun Li said enthusiastically as she stepped forward and pulled Qin Xin along.
As she spoke, a delicate fragrance wafted into Qin Xin's nostrils, and with each movement, her snow-white chest trembled, making Qin Xin somewhat embarrassed as he turned his face away, unable to continue looking directly at her.
Qin Xin is currently in the prime of his life, full of youthful vigor. If he continues to be tempted like this, he might not be able to resist getting a nosebleed.
Fortunately, Ling Hanyan saw Qin Xin's helplessness and stepped forward to change the subject, saying, "Qin Xin, don't mind her. She is the vice dean of the Pill Academy and usually likes to matchmake couples for people."
After hearing Ling Hanyan's introduction, Qin Xin was also curious about Yun Li, since it was the first time he had ever heard of someone introducing a Daoist partner to another person.
Facing the woman before him, Qin Xin said very politely, "Vice Dean Yun, I currently have no plans to find a Daoist partner. Thank you for your kind offer."
Faced with Qin Xin's refusal, Yun Li shook her head with some regret and said, "It's a real pity. I was planning to introduce Han Yan to you."
"Yun Li! Don't talk nonsense!" Ling Hanyan hurriedly spoke up after hearing Yun Li's words, but her ears turned slightly red, as if she was a little embarrassed. "Qin Xin is my junior brother. If you keep talking nonsense, I will leave your alchemy academy."
Ling Hanyan's words seemed to have a great effect. When Yun Li heard that she was going to leave the Pill Academy, she quickly stepped forward and hugged her, saying, "My little aunt, you can't leave! These days, almost all the martial artists in the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy want to ask you to help them refine pills. If you leave, our Pill Academy will lose its income."
"What does my lack of income have to do with me?" Ling Hanyan rolled her eyes at Yun Li and said indifferently.
Qin Xin, standing to the side, could naturally see that Ling Hanyan's words were just said in anger. She and Yun Li seemed to have a very good relationship, so they didn't have so many concerns when they talked.
They even ignored Qin Xin, who was standing to the side, as if he were invisible.
However, Ling Hanyan quickly regained her senses and asked Qin Xin with some curiosity, "Junior Brother Qin Xin, did you come to Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy to refine the Breakthrough Pill?"
Hearing Ling Hanyan's question, Qin Xin naturally understood. He was currently at the ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm, and although the Breaking Martial Pill was a mid-grade fifth-rank pill, its main function was to help martial artists break through their martial core.
To put it another way, if a martial artist tries to break through to the Martial Core on their own without the assistance of the Martial Core, the success rate is only 20%. However, with the assistance of the Martial Core, the success rate increases to 25%.
This kind of pill that helps break through realms is highly sought after by sects and major families in Zhongzhou. Moreover, it is very difficult for even some fifth-grade alchemists to successfully refine it. In addition, the medicinal materials used in refining it are very scarce, so its price is also very high.
A single broken martial pill is worth twenty low-grade spirit stones, and it's the kind that's priceless and unavailable.
"Not for now. I'm just here to get some cultivation resources." Qin Xin shook his head, honestly stating his purpose for coming to Tuocang Mountain.
Upon hearing this, Yun Li smiled knowingly and said, "I must say, your Tianxuan Sect is the same. You leave all your disciples to their own devices. No wonder you're always being suppressed by the Xuantian Sword Sect."
Qin Xin didn't quite understand what she meant, but Ling Hanyan understood the implication. Her expression changed slightly as she said, "Yun Li, the Tianxuan Sect has its own reasons for training disciples. If you continue like this, I will leave the Pill Academy no matter what."
"Alright, I won't say anything more, okay? Your junior brother wanted to get some cultivation resources, so coming to my Pill Academy is very suitable for him now." Yun Li suddenly changed the subject and directly extended an olive branch to Qin Xin, "Brother Qin Xin, how much do you know about alchemists?"
“Yun Li, my junior brother is a fourth-grade alchemist,” Ling Hanyan said from the side.
Upon hearing that Qin Xin was an alchemist, Yun Li's eyes showed a slight surprise. She said, "I didn't expect that. Since you're an alchemist, that's convenient. Let me refine some fourth-grade pills for you first."
"Generally, when a martial artist commissions the refining of pills, they will prepare three sets of fourth-grade pill ingredients. If the refining is skilled, each set of ingredients can be used to refine multiple pills. One of them can be given to the martial artist, and the others can be sold to the Pill Academy for spirit stones or gold coins. Of course, you can also keep all the pills."
What do you think?
Yun Li also directly told Qin Xin the rules of the Pill Academy for helping martial artists refine pills.
After understanding, Qin Xin nodded. He was currently looking for a place to obtain some cultivation resources, and the Pill Academy was an excellent choice. "Then I'll have to ask Vice Dean Yun for your help."
“It’s alright. Since you and Hanyan are both from the Tianxuan Sect, then follow her for now.” As she spoke, Yun Li deliberately winked at Ling Hanyan, and then continued, “Then welcome Junior Brother Qin Xin to join the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy.”
