Qin Gengyun picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said doubtfully:
"High-quality spiritual powder?"
"Yes, it is said that a total of 200 bags of Qingfeng Powder were refined. The quality is extremely high and can actually achieve the effect of the second-grade Bingqing Pill."
Pei Daoyu also picked up the teacup and said with a smile:
"This is freshly picked Yuluochun. Is it acceptable to Brother Qin?"
Qin Gengyun put down the teacup and praised: "Good tea!"
Fei Daoyu stared at Qin Gengyun's face and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Qin is also an alchemist, right? How come you have never heard of this master?"
Qin Gengyun pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Using Qingfeng Powder to replace Bingqing Pill is simply unheard of. Fellow Daoist Pei, maybe you heard it wrong?"
Pei Daoyou laughed and poured tea for Qin Gengyun himself, then said:
"Perhaps a senior master was practicing the art of alchemy, or perhaps a talented new alchemist accidentally broke the rules."
"Breaking the rules?" Qin Gengyun asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
"Fellow Daoist Qin, have some tea."
Fei Daoyu stretched out his hand and said lightly:
"Before the Northern Wilderness Trial, I and a great alchemist negotiated a deal with the Zhenyang Sect for 200 Bingqing Pills. We had already agreed on it, but we didn't expect it to be replaced by 200 bags of Qingfeng Powder."
"If you interfere in a deal that has already been negotiated, it would naturally break the rules, and..."
Fei Daoyu smiled, but his eyes were cold and stern:
"That great alchemist is at the sixth level of Qi training and a third-level alchemist."
Qin Gengyun's expression remained unchanged as he said with regret, "Two hundred Bingqing Pills would cost tens of thousands of spirit stones. It's really a pity."
Fei Daoyu laughed: "We cultivators don't take gold and silver too seriously, but the great alchemist is a prominent figure after all. He must have an explanation for being played with like this."
Qin Gengyun thought to himself, if you really had no interest in earning spirit stones, you wouldn't have opened this alchemy workshop.
He nodded calmly: "I see, but I don't know why Brother Pei said this to me?"
Pei Daoyu took another sip of tea, put down the teacup, and laughed:
"Fellow Daoist Qin was able to advance two levels in a short period of time, so he is definitely not an ordinary person. Can you help me... find the expert who refined the Qingfeng Powder?"
Qin Gengyun's eyes flickered, and he shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Pei really thinks highly of me. How can I find someone that you and Senior Alchemist can't find?"
Fellow Daoist Pei smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, this has nothing to do with that senior great alchemist. I just want to get to know that master. If Fellow Daoist Qin can help introduce him to me, I will be very grateful."
Qin Gengyun understood. It turned out that Pei Daoyu wanted to have the best of both worlds, namely, the great alchemist and the "Master of Qingfengsan".
They were not on the same level before and did not communicate much, but after a conversation with Pei Daoyu, Qin Gengyun became more certain that this fellow who looked like an immortal was actually a man who only cared about whoever gave him milk.
He will follow whoever can make a profit.
In his opinion, the master who used Qingfeng Powder to squeeze out Bingqing Dan might not have worse resources than the third-level alchemist.
Pei Daoyu even thought that Qin Gengyun's ability to be promoted two levels in a short period of time might be related to that master.
That's why he asked Qin Gengyun to help introduce him.
No wonder he has always been so polite to Qin Gengyun. Besides the fact that they are both at the fourth level of Qi training, it is also more to curry favor with the "expert" behind Qin Gengyun.
Countless thoughts flashed through Qin Gengyun's mind. He held up the teacup with both hands and said to Pei Daoyu:
"Friend Pei, you and I are so destined to be together. I will do my best to find that expert for you. I will give you a reply within a year!"
Pei Daoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Qin Gengyun with a smile on his face, and also picked up the teacup:
"Then I will wait for good news!"
The two of them then left the alchemy room. Pei Daoyu personally escorted Qin Gengyun to the entrance of the Spiritual Alchemy Workshop and bowed, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, don't worry, I will not let that villain off easily."
Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Pei, you are too polite. How dare I cross the line into your family affairs? Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Qin Gengyun turned and left, his steps steady yet graceful, and everyone in the Lingdanfang was fascinated by him.
Wang Ping murmured, "Is this the master of the fourth level of Qi training?"
Xu Li said with envy: "Fellow Daoist Wang, you and I should not go to Yihong Tower, how about we practice hard?"
"Okay, if Fellow Daoist Qin can advance to the fourth level of Qi training, then so can we! But... I heard that Ruyi Hua Kui will be performing on stage tonight. How about we go there one last time tonight?"
"The courtesan Ruyi wants to dance on stage? Okay, this is the last time tonight!"
Pei Daoyu watched Qin Gengyun leave, the smile on his face disappeared, and he immediately ordered his men to bring Yang Fengshan over.
Yang Fengshan's hair was disheveled, his face and body were stained with blood, and his short and fat body was crawling on the ground, hugging Pei Daoyu's legs:
"Master, I really didn't steal the bronze furnace. You have to believe me!"
Pei Daoyu looked down at Yang Fengshan and said calmly:
"Fengshan, you secretly withheld the spirit stones from the pharmacists in the workshop, embezzled money, and sold the medicinal materials in the workshop. I can turn a blind eye to these things, but..."
Pei Daoyu sneered: "You provoked me to have a conflict with a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi training. Just based on this, I cannot tolerate you."
Yang Fengshan screamed and begged: "Master, I didn't know that Qin Gengyun had already reached the fourth level of Qi training! I still need to collect the gift money to marry a wife, please forgive me!"
Pei Daoyu kicked him away and said, "Leave me fifty spirit stones, and you are not allowed to enter the Spiritual Pill Shop again from now on!"
…
Qin Gengyun left Lingdanfang and walked along the familiar path for a while before finally arriving at Caifeng Street.
In the past, he would take this road back to Narrow Rain Lane after work every day.
On the way, we will pass by Caifeng Street, the most prosperous street in Yunling Town. Every time I see the bustling streets and the buildings shining with the light of protective magic arrays, I feel extremely envious.
And at this moment, the prosperity before our eyes is no longer out of reach.
He smiled and recalled the conversation he had just had with Pei Daoyu.
Proposing a reply within a year is naturally a delaying tactic.
If he could reach the sixth level of Qi training by practicing day and night for a year, he wouldn't have to fear the great alchemist anymore.
Of course, if one wants to advance two levels within a year, self-study and dual cultivation are both indispensable, and the alchemist realm cannot be fallen behind.
It is best to first upgrade to a second-level alchemist, refine second-grade elixirs, earn more spirit stones, and ensure a worry-free supply of spiritual marrow.
Having made up his mind, Qin Gengyun didn't think any more and walked straight to the night market.
After crossing Caifeng Street, we soon arrived at the night market.
It was just the evening hour and most of the vendors had not arrived yet. From afar, Mo Xiaolan, dressed in a plain robe, was seen setting up her stall.
Qin Gengyun stepped forward and handed over the bag of talisman paper on the ground. Mo Xiaolan looked back and a smile as beautiful as an orchid appeared on her face:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, why are you here?"
Huang Daoyou, who was also setting up a stall nearby, also said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, if you hadn't come yesterday, Fellow Daoist Mo would have almost sold a blood coagulation pill for one spirit stone!"
Mo Xiaolan quickly said to Qin Gengyun: "Huang Daoyou likes to joke the most, don't take it seriously."
Qin Gengyun smiled and said gently: "Friend Mo, I have another fifty elixirs here, can you help me sell them?"
Mo Xiaolan was stunned, and naturally understood what Qin Gengyun meant. The pills refined by Qin Gengyun were of very high quality. If she sold them to her, she could earn a lot of spirit stones.
But Mo Xiaolan did not take the bag of spirit stones that Qin Gengyun handed over.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, thank you for your kindness, but this time, I can't sell it for you."
