Chapter 142 - 142: Never Able to Refine a TopGrade Elixir in One’s Lifetime 1
“Wait, what did you say?” Qin Changqing suddenly reacted, “Xiaoyue, is it the Saintess who’s coming?”
Su Xiaoyue nodded subconsciously: “Yes, it is said that her alchemy talent is extremely remarkable, and she is the pride of Danqing Pavilion. She reached the realm of Tier 4 alchemist before the age of 100. She is the one leading Danqing Pavilion’s entry into Tianchuan State, with great prestige.”
Su Xiaoyue thought Qin Changqing was worried that the other party might be too powerful to handle, so she suggested: “We shouldn’t offend someone like her. Anyway, Danqing Pavilion’s goal is to enter Tianchuan State. I think my husband might consider cooperating with her. It’s no harm to let her establish Danqing Pavilion’s influence in Yinxu Prefecture. But my husband only represents the Qin family. If the sect has its own actions in the future, we can also separate our relationship.”
“Hmm… Hmm? Oh, Xiaoyue, your suggestion is quite good.” Qin Changqing stroked his chin, “By the way, how old is this Saintess? She reached Tier 4 alchemy before the age of 100. She shouldn’t be several hundred years old now, right?”
“No way.” Su Xiaoyue was speechless, “She just entered Tier 4 not long ago, and it seems that Danging Pavilion also hopes to ride on this momentum.”
“Just entered Tier 4?”
Qin Changqing smacked his lips.
He suddenly had a bold idea.
System panel:
[Host: Qin Changqing]
[Spiritual Root: Tier 7 High]
[Cultivation: Tier 3 Golden Elixir]
[Sub-profession: Array Formation (Tier 4 Mid-level), Alchemy (Tier 4
Lower-level)] [Family Members: 172] [Family Fortune: 72320]
[Offspring: 62]
[Physique Attributes: Innate Furnace Cauldron, Emperor’s Saint Body]
In the past five years, under Qin Changqing’s painstaking efforts, the number of his offspring had reached 62 and the family members had increased to 172.
Among his children, many had married and given birth to their own children, and even grandchildren had gotten married and given birth to a great-grandchild.
Qin Changqing was able to draw a great-grandchild’s gift package once.
Unfortunately, it was still a sub-profession experience award, but this time it was upgraded from 100 years to 200 years. Although the effect of enhancing fortune was revealed, Qin Changqing was still disappointed.
It was just like winning experience in a lottery, with the real treasures being the limited edition items.
However, since he didn’t draw them, there was nothing he could do about it. It was better than nothing.
Just in time, as the Qin family wanted to intensify their development efforts, Qin Changqing chose alchemy.
Since it was the ‘perfect’ experience given by the system, his success rate in alchemy was extremely high, and he could always refine top-grade elixirs.
As a result, the Qin family has become the undisputed number one in the elixir business in Yinxu Prefecture.
Of course, all this wasn’t important.
The important thing was, could that alchemy Saintess master alchemy as well as he could?
Although they were both in Tier 4 lower-level alchemy.
But he could refine top-grade elixirs.
Just this point alone would be enough to surpass her.
Qin Changqing smiled slightly and had Su Xiaoyue accept the Saintess’s request right away.
The news about Yinxu Prefecture hosting the Alchemy Convention spread quickly, disseminated by Danqing Pavilion’s publicity.
Soon, various alchemists hurriedly headed towards Yinxu Prefecture.
Danqing Pavilion’s reputation was too great!
Many alchemists in Tianchuan State were looking forward to Danqing Pavilion establishing its power in Tianchuan State.
So, as soon as they heard that the talented alchemy Saintess had arrived, they naturally wouldn’t miss such an excellent opportunity.However, the requirement to participate in the Alchemy Convention is to be under a hundred years old, which made many ‘elderly’ people who planned to make a big splash in the convention feel regretful.
At this time.
In a simple and elegant pavilion in Yinxu Prefecture.
A woman in a green dress kneels on a cushion, holding a cup of tea in her hands, and turns her head to look at the scenery outside the pavilion.
“They say Yinxu Prefecture is a place of talented people and beautiful scenery, and it’s indeed true. Although the city is large, it doesn’t have that messy noise, making it a good place for people to calmly practice alchemy.”
The woman’s voice is ethereal, like the nightingale in the mountains, just listening to it is refreshing.
Looking at her appearance, she has delicate eyebrows, bright and spirited eyes, a small and exquisite nose, and delicate, tender, and crystal-clear lips.
She wears a silver pendant around her clean neck, with a bulging chest and a slender waist. Her clothes are embroidered with blue elixir clouds, the handiwork is exquisite, and it feels extraordinary at a glance.
In front of her also sits an elderly woman.
At this moment, the old woman said, “Yinxu Prefecture was taken over by Lingxiao Sect five years ago. Now the Qin family is the leader. It’s strange that the head of the Qin family, whose cultivation base is only Tier 3 Golden Elixir, even with his extraordinary elixir quality, how did he kill Jin Tianfeng?” “Elder, have you seen him?”
“I glanced at him from a distance, there is a Nascent Soul expert protecting him, I didn’t investigate him carefully.”
“You did the right thing,” the woman said softly. “We are new to Yinxu. This time we are here for ourselves, it’s fine to help the Dayan Dynasty where we can, but there’s no need to stick our necks out unnecessarily.”
The old woman nodded: “Indeed… By the way, have you found the source of the Qin family’s elixirs?”
“Not yet. The Qin family seems to protect it very well. I have inquired from various sources but still haven’t heard of a Tier 4 alchemist appearing.”
“Could it be the peak master of the Lingxiao Sect who refined so many top-grade elixirs?”
The woman furrowed her brows.
Generally speaking, refining a top-grade elixir is extremely difficult. If it is a Tier 4 lower-level elixir, it requires at least a Tier 4 mid-level alchemist’s realm.
Even worse, some alchemists with slightly poorer techniques can’t refine top-grade elixirs in their entire lives.
After all, refining this thing is not just about level. The key lies in the alchemy technique
and the control of the heat. Alchemy involves too many things, and one needs to be skilled and precise, so the requirements for aptitude are extremely high.
The woman was unsure about the abilities of that Tier 5 Alchemist from
Lingxiao Sect.
“I don’t think so, a person at the Divine Transformation Realm wouldn’t put in so much effort for a small family.” The woman shook her head, “In any case, I hope this Alchemy Convention can lure that person out.”
The old woman said, “As long as we offer enough incentives, any alchemist would be tempted. Staying in the small Qin family compared to choosing to join the Danqing Pavilion, it’s not a difficult decision.”
“I wouldn’t say so.” The woman didn’t agree with this statement. “There are always things in this world that can’t be shaken by interests. Otherwise, why would he choose to work for the Qin family?”
The old woman didn’t speak.
The other party was a saintess with extraordinary talent. Although she was a Divine Transformation Realm expert, she only acted as the woman’s bodyguard here.
Everyone sees something different in a mountain.
How could one see through worldly desires?
“Elder, what do you think of Qin Changqing?” The woman suddenly asked curiously, “I heard he is MO Jiuzhou’s disciple and managed to seize the inheritance of Duanjian Mountain. It’s strange that such a person doesn’t focus on cultivation, but instead gets involved in worldly matters to develop his family.”
The old woman thought for a moment and said, “I suppose his talent is good, but he is too worldly-minded and can’t achieve greatness. This youngster has nearly twenty wives and over sixty children, he is simply a…” The old woman didn’t have the heart to say the word “pig.”
Elegance, a cultivator must have elegance.
The woman smiled lightly, “Elder, why are you so resentful? He didn’t marry your daughter.”
The old woman reminded, “I’m just afraid he’ll set his sights on you. That guy is notoriously lascivious..”
