"hehe!"
Qin Feng looked at Ning Que with a half-smile and asked, "Elder, among all the alchemists you know, who is capable of refining top-grade divine pills?"
Ning Que frowned slightly and snorted coldly. "I've never heard of any alchemist who can refine a divine pill!"
"But so what?"
"I paid such a high price, and you only give me one? Isn't that a bit too much?"
Qin Feng ignored Ning Que and continued to ask, "How many pills can all the alchemists you know refine using one set of materials?"
Ning Que's expression became somewhat unnatural. The most skilled alchemist he knew could only refine three pills from a single set of materials, and even then, one of the three pills might not be of the highest quality.
Furthermore, unless you are extremely lucky, there is a very small chance that you can refine three pills using one set of materials.
In terms of alchemy alone, the alchemists he knew were complete novices compared to Qin Feng.
Seeing Ning Que remain silent, Qin Feng's lips curled into a cold smile as he mocked, "What? You have nothing to say now?"
He paused, then continued, "Hehe, you should also know that there has always been an unwritten rule in our alchemist profession."
"When someone asks us for help in alchemy, if we can successfully refine one pill using one set of materials, then that's considered a satisfactory result!"
Ning Que gritted his teeth, his face looking rather grim, but he still forced a smile and replied, "While that's true, this involves divine pills! How can such high-level pills be measured by ordinary standards?"
Qin Feng crossed his arms and looked at Ning Que with disdain, coldly snorting, "Regardless of whether it's some kind of divine pill or not, rules are rules, and no one can easily break them!"
"Although I used only one set of materials to refine five top-grade divine pills, that was entirely in accordance with established industry standards. Therefore, according to the rules, giving you one is absolutely no problem!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Que felt a surge of anger, but after racking his brains for a long time, he still couldn't find a strong reason to refute Qin Feng's words.
Because he knew very well that every word the other party said was true and without any flaws.
However, he was truly unwilling to accept this outcome willingly...
Qin Feng glanced at Ning Que and said calmly, "Elder, if you still want to continue your unreasonable behavior, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"If you still want to refine divine pills in the future, then go find someone else. I will never help you again!"
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Ning Que felt so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood. He knew that Qin Feng had him completely under his control this time.
In the entire True Spirit Continent, Qin Feng is currently the only person capable of refining divine pills.
He didn't want to offend Qin Feng, because if he did, even if he gathered all the materials to refine the divine pill, no one would be able to help him refine it.
"Cough cough"
Ning Que coughed awkwardly twice, then said, "Peak Master Qin, don't be angry, I know I was wrong!"
"If I manage to gather all the materials to refine the Starfall Pill in the future, I'll have to trouble you again. We'll follow your rules then!"
Qin Feng pursed his lips, then waved his hand and said, "Take care, don't bother seeing me out!"
Ning Que looked helpless, knowing that he had left a very bad impression on Qin Feng.
So, not wanting to make a fool of himself any longer, he simply said goodbye and left.
Qin Feng watched Ning Que disappear from sight and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly saw four figures appear on the horizon, rushing toward Green Bamboo Peak.
Soon, four figures landed in front of Qin Feng. They were the four peak masters who had left not long ago: Zhang He, Yu Tian, Chen Tianqiao, and Zhao Yuqing.
As soon as Zhang He and the other three landed, they all looked at Qin Feng with excited expressions and burning eyes.
They had been secretly watching the entire process of Qin Feng refining the Starfall Pill.
None of them expected that Qin Feng could actually refine divine pills, and that he could refine five pills from just one set of materials.
Even more outrageous is that all five Starfall Pills are of the highest grade!
Qin Feng looked at Zhang He and the other three, and asked, "You want me to refine divine pills?"
Zhang He nodded. "Yes, but it will take me some time to gather all the materials!"
Yu Tian and the other two also spoke up one after another. Their situation was the same as Zhang He's; they had not yet gathered all the materials needed to refine the divine pill.
Qin Feng had already made a promise to Zhang He and the other three, so he naturally agreed.
Seeing that Qin Feng had agreed, Zhang He and the other three said nothing more and immediately took their leave.
After Zhang He and the other three left, Qin Feng went straight back to the bamboo house to sleep and rest.
After a month and a half of continuous seclusion and cultivation, and having just refined two batches of pills, he was already feeling quite exhausted.
...
Night had fallen, all was quiet, and the whole world was immersed in tranquility.
At this moment, Qin Feng, who was fast asleep inside the house, was startled by a series of urgent knocks on the door without warning.
The sound was like a heavy hammer, pounding hard on his eardrums and abruptly pulling him back to reality from his sweet dream.
Qin Feng opened his eyes, still sleepy and somewhat dazed. Not fully awake, he instinctively released his powerful divine sense, sweeping it towards the doorway.
However, the moment he saw who it was, he froze, a look of astonishment on his face.
"What's this woman doing here so late?"
"Qin Feng muttered to himself, various strange thoughts involuntarily surfacing in his mind. 'Could it be that she's lonely and wants to warm my bed late at night?'"
Qin Feng himself found this absurd idea somewhat laughable.
The person knocking on the door was none other than Su Liyue!
The usually aloof and proud Su Liyue, who seemed like an untouchable fairy, was now appearing at his door in the dead of night.
Qin Feng hesitated, his heart filled with doubt and curiosity.
But in the end, he slowly got out of bed and walked towards the door with slightly heavy steps.
As the door was gently pulled open, Qin Feng finally saw Su Liyue standing outside.
She was wearing a white cloak, and her long, flowing hair cascaded over her shoulders. Bathed in moonlight, she appeared even more elegant and refined.
However, a faint blush lingered on her beautiful face, and her eyes flickered, as if she had something difficult to say.
Qin Feng's lips curled up slightly, and he teased, "Peak Master Su, coming to see me so late at night, do you really want to spend the night with me?"
His words carried a hint of jest, attempting to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.
