After arriving at the main hall of the Dan Academy.
Upon seeing the insignia of a fifth-grade advanced alchemist on Qin Xin's chest, the maids in the hall greeted him warmly.
"Master Alchemist, what brings you here?"
After the maid stepped forward, Qin Xin replied in a deep voice, "I'm quite interested in the Soul Fusion Blood Pill that was consigned for auction earlier. Could you please check the consignor's information?"
After hearing Qin Xin's request, the maid said, "Please wait a moment, Alchemist. If it's a pill formula sold within the Alchemy Academy, then of course there's no problem."
After she finished speaking, the maid led Qin Xin to a tea table and arranged for others to pour him tea.
Qin Xin was not a stingy person; when the others asked him to do something, he rewarded each of them with a low-grade spirit stone.
This is how it is in the Pill Refining Academy. After receiving Qin Xin's reward, the maids who were handling the tasks became noticeably more efficient.
In a short while, the maid who had left returned.
"Master Alchemist, the recipe for the Soul Fusion Blood Pill was sent to us by Vice Dean Yun Li. You can contact her if you need it."
The maid spoke to Qin Xin with utmost respect, her eyes filled with awe.
For people of average talent like them, being able to enter the Pill Academy as a maid is already an unparalleled honor. If they are noticed by some alchemists and taken in as medicine apprentices, they may even have the opportunity to become alchemists themselves.
For this reason, all the maids and guards in the alchemy academy are extremely respectful when facing alchemists.
When Qin Xin heard that the formula for the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill was consigned by Yun Li, he was slightly surprised, but also somewhat delighted. He had some dealings with Yun Li, so there was still a chance he could ask her how to purchase the formula. However, if it were someone like Jia Yi or Li Xi, whom he had offended before, it would be quite troublesome.
Without any hesitation, Qin Xin turned around and walked towards Yun Li's residence.
Qin Xin had been there before, so he was quite familiar with it.
When Qin Xin arrived at Yun Li's residence, he noticed that many elders from the Pill Academy were leaving with some younger alchemists. However, these people all had sullen faces and seemed rather unhappy.
The maid in Yun Li's residence also recognized Qin Xin, so she went in to announce his arrival.
After waiting for a while, the maid led Qin Xin into the courtyard where Yun Li lived.
Qin Xin also observed the changes around him. Compared to when he came here before, there were more flowers, plants and trees around, and there were many precious spiritual herbs among them.
Perhaps due to the effect of the formation, the spiritual energy inside Yun Li's residence was more concentrated than that outside, and there was also a rather special fragrance in the air that was very comfortable and refreshing. However, this fragrance was not a floral scent.
Just as Qin Xin was enjoying the fragrance, a rather elegant voice appeared directly in front of him.
Upon seeing Yun Li's still slightly damp hair, Qin Xin realized why the courtyard smelled so sweet – the fragrance was emanating from Yun Li herself.
Qin Xin often heard people in the Pill Academy gossiping about Yun Li's private life. Now that she was in her early thirties, she had never found a Daoist partner, which made Yun Li quite the admirer.
Qin Xin simply laughed off such news, as discussing other people's private lives was not a very polite thing to do.
"Ugh! These pill gatherings are always such a headache!"
"Qin Xin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please have a seat."
As soon as Yun Li appeared, she immediately began to complain. Then she asked Qin Xin to sit down in front of her, and took out the Chiling Yunye tea leaves to brew tea for him.
Qin Xin had previously given Yun Li ten Red Ridge Cloud Leaves, which she had been reluctant to drink. Now that Qin Xin had come, she naturally took them out.
"These Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves are extremely rare and valuable. Since the Crimson Ridge Mountain Range was sealed off, they have become unique and extremely difficult to purchase now."
Yunli sighed wistfully as she brewed tea.
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Qin Xin's lips. With a light tap of his finger, twenty Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves appeared in front of Yun Li.
"So many! I didn't expect you to have more." Yun Li exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves in front of her. "Qin Xin, I'll take these Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves for five high-grade spirit stones each. If you have any more, I'll take them all."
Qin Xin was also surprised that Yun Li would be so generous in his request. However, he also knew that if he owned a whole Chiling Yunye tea tree, he would probably be confronted by people.
"These are all I have left, but I don't plan to sell these Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves. Instead, I want to give them to Sister Yunli."
Qin Xin waved his hand and said to Yun Li.
"Oh? You're giving it to me?" Yun Li was somewhat surprised.
However, Yun Li quickly realized that, after all, she had many thoughts about becoming the vice dean of the Pill Academy, and she was very familiar with the thoughts of martial artists and alchemists.
Yun Li glanced at the twenty Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves in front of her and felt a little envious. Her purpose in wanting the Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves was not to sell them, but to use them herself. These Crimson Ridge Cloud Leaves could completely shock the mind of the martial artist who used them, and would also enhance their understanding of martial arts, albeit only slightly.
However, it should be noted that many martial artists are stuck at a certain level of martial arts for decades or even centuries without any breakthrough. Even a slight increase in understanding can give a martial artist a great chance to seize the opportunity to break through.
After all, Yun Li had seen a lot, and she knew the principle of not accepting a free gift without having done anything in return.
"Speak, is there something you want from me?"
After a calm smile, Yun Li pushed the brewed tea towards Qin Xin.
"Naturally, I came for the formula of the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill." Qin Xin also frankly stated his purpose.
Upon hearing Qin Xin's request, Yun Li was slightly surprised. "Oh, did you perhaps injure your soul?"
For martial artists, the soul is a very mysterious thing. Once injured, it is difficult to recover and may even prevent the martial artist from making progress in cultivation. The same is true for alchemists.
"No, I'm just very interested in this pill formula," Qin Xin said, shaking his head.
Upon hearing that Qin Xin was merely interested, the surprise in Yun Li's eyes subsided slightly. If Qin Xin had truly damaged her soul, perhaps she would have had some other thoughts.
A broken-hearted alchemist can never become a seventh-grade alchemist. As for why Yun Li took care of Qin Xin after he entered the Alchemy Academy, it was partly because of her relationship with Ling Hanyan, and partly because she saw Qin Xin's talent in alchemy, which might be helpful to her in the future.
Upon hearing that Qin Xin's soul was unharmed, Yun Li replied directly, "Since you're interested, I can give it to you for free."
Yun Li suddenly smiled slightly, and with a gentle lift of her hand, the pale purple skirt slowly slid down from her snow-white arm. Accompanied by a fragrant breeze, a scroll emitting a faint blue light slowly floated into the air.
"The recipe for the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill!"
Qin Xin could sense that the pale blue scroll was the recipe for the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill.
After taking out the pill formula, Yun Li immediately said, "However, there is one condition for giving you this pill formula."
