Unexpectedly, by the time the afternoon came, the previous Pill King Valley Master, the current Fifth Elder Zhou Tao, came over with several alchemists in a hurry.
“Sovereign, I heard that you’ve refined a fifth grade elixir, is that right?”
Several people looked at Qin Li with a rare light in their eyes, each excited beyond measure.
Qin Li nodded his head amidst their expectant looks, “Refining it was refined, but I’ve already refined it away!”
When the several people heard this, one of them almost didn’t faint, this kid, at least let them see the same thing as well.
“Forget about refining it away, any experience? Like what places to pay attention to!”
Zhou Tao and the others, they had long been itching to refine a fifth-grade elixir themselves.
Unfortunately, they do not dare, that is the fifth grade pills, at least need to use two of the fifth grade spirit grass, other auxiliary materials are also extremely valuable, if wasted, they feel a little bit too much, so there must be quite a lot of certainty, it is best to have a better understanding of this refining method, there are people to say a bit of which may appear.
Now that they knew that Qin Li had succeeded in refining one, one by one, they couldn’t wait to come.
“If this is the case, you guys don’t need to rush right now, first bring up the success rate of the third and fourth grade pills, try to have everyone raise their cultivation, it’s best to have a few more Heaven Breaking Realm powerhouses, and then I’ll teach you guys how to refine the fifth grade pills!”
“My current success rate isn’t very high either, I’m going to try a few more times, and when the success rate is a bit higher, I can refine it for you all face to face, and explain it while I’m refining it, that way, you’ll all be more able to have a clearer understanding of it!”
Qin Li smiled, then said to Zhou Tao and the others.
Zhou Tao and the others were all excited after hearing that, it would naturally be even better if that was the case.
“Good, what Patriarch said is true, our success rate is basically still quite high now for the third grade pills, for the fourth grade pills, for the fourth grade beginners and there are a few fourth grade intermediates, our success rate is still quite good, but for some of the fourth grade advanced pills, our success rate is really a bit low comparatively speaking!”
After thinking about it, Zhou Tao gave Qin Li a rough idea of the current situation.
The other alchemist, on the other hand, said, “Patriarch, in order not to waste materials, we’ve all tried our best to concoct some pills that we’re certain of to raise everyone’s cultivation, and judging from these two months, everyone’s rate of enhancement has been quite fast, and it’s already exceeded our previous expectations!”
Qin Li nodded, “En, it is indeed quite good, especially you guys, these days have been hard on you as well, you’ve been busy helping everyone to raise their cultivation, thus you haven’t had much time to cultivate instead, but I believe that your merits are there for all to see!”
Speaking here, Qin Li paused before he added: “Recently, it’s just a little bit of hard work for you guys, if they can raise their cultivation to Heavenly Grade Nine, let everyone try to raise their cultivation to Heavenly Grade Nine before they do so, and after arriving at Heavenly Grade Nine, whether or not they can find that feeling of breakthrough will depend on their respective fortunes. And at that time, you guys will also be able to relax a bit, you won’t have to be busy with alchemy, you’ll have time to cultivate on your own.”
Zhou Tao, however, smiled and said, “Sovereign don’t worry, hey, we originally loved alchemy, if it wasn’t for you, Sovereign, teaching us, our alchemy techniques, it would be impossible for us to get such a quick boost. Besides, if everyone improves and the overall strength is strong, this is also something to be happy and pleased about for us!”
After saying that, Zhou Tao thought for a moment and then said, “Moreover, we can’t keep refining dan right, this thing, after all, is very energy consuming, we are basically reasonable arrangement of time, during the daytime to help refining dan, at night, if we have time, are their own cultivation. I’m also still quite satisfied, although it’s not as good as the First Elder and Second Elder and the others, but now it’s also considered as a cultivation of the seventh grade of the Heavenly Rank.”
“Yes, we are now Heaven ranked cultivators, with a lifespan of two hundred years, not to mention a month or two of helping everyone to keep on refining pills, even if it’s a year or two, for us, that’s not a long time to count!”
Another man, also laughed, “Instead, it’s the things we learnt, that’s the real treasure.”
Qin Li nodded, “Don’t worry guys, I dare not say anything else, after you guys break through to the Heaven Breaking Realm in the future, I promise you alchemists that I’ll prepare at least two fifth-grade elixirs for each of you to give to you, to help you raise your cultivation levels, mind you, for all of those other guys, I only dared to promise them one!”
Hearing these words, Zhou Tao and the others glanced at each other, and each one of them was incomparably relieved in their hearts, at least, Qin Li, who was the Patriarch, was able to see how hard they had worked these days, and that was enough.
“Right, Patriarch, do you want us to make a trip to the auction house in the city tomorrow?”
Zhou Tao finally thought about it before turning to Qin Li again.
“An auction house? After being here for so long, I really haven’t been there yet!”
Qin Li laughed, and after thinking about it, he asked Zhou Tao again, “Elder Zhou, why are you suddenly proposing to go to the auction house tomorrow? Could it be that there are some powerful treasures to be auctioned tomorrow?”
Zhou Tao and the man next to him exchanged a glance before he nodded at Qin Li, “Patriarch is really smart, this was all seen by you!”
Speaking here, Zhou Tao paused before continuing, “That auction house, although we seldom go, but from time to time will send one or two disciples over to take a look, generally if they have any good things, in the front one, they may declare it, and notify it in advance, in this way, the bigger forces, only then will they be able to go, and only then will they be able to auction it off to a better price! ”
Qin Li thought for a moment, and again, he couldn’t help but say, “In terms of techniques, we have quite a lot of high level techniques such as the Imperial Grade and the Imperial Grade, it seems like there’s nothing higher that’s worth looking at, right? In terms of martial arts, I found a problem, those martial arts we got in that ancient relics, are actually of quite a high grade, and it seems like it’s hard to look at them as well. Could it be that you guys got the news that there are some better spirit herbs? A rare spirit herb that just happens to be suitable for alchemy?”
“That’s something I haven’t heard!”
Zhou Tao smiled before saying, “That auction house was notified of a treasure in advance, causing us to pay attention, this treasure is an alchemy furnace, you know, this better alchemy furnace, if you can improve the success rate of alchemy. Moreover, a poor alchemy furnace, when alchemising a high-level elixir, due to the energy within it being simply too violent, it is very likely that it will blow up, whereas a good furnace, naturally, will be able to do so.”
“Dan furnace?”
Qin Li couldn’t help but have his eyes light up even after hearing that, “We saw an introduction above the ancient book inside the ancient relics, the Dan Furnace seems to be divided into the first to the ninth grade as well, and this kind of thing, it’s very hard to come by, and usually when it’s on the third grade or above, that’s considered to be a more precious treasure.”
“Right, didn’t you give me back that book to read at that time, I also remember this written on it!”
Zhou Tao smiled, before slowly saying, “And the Dan Furnace that will be auctioned tomorrow at that auction house, that can be considered a true treasure, being a seventh grade Dan Furnace! Therefore, I suggest that Patriarch, you’d better go tomorrow and find a way to take it down as well, such a furnace, refining a seventh or even eighth grade elixir is no problem, moreover, it can definitely increase the success rate of alchemy by quite a lot!”
“A seventh-grade Dan furnace!”
Qin Li sucked in a mouthful of cool air, no wonder this Elder Zhou and the others, each and every one of them were thinking that they could go and take a look, I didn’t expect that the Dan Furnace that was about to be auctioned off would actually be so precious.
“Fortunately, if this City of Heavenly Lawrence is concerned, there shouldn’t be many people who know how to concoct pills, so this treasure, for those who don’t know how to concoct pills, that doesn’t have much appeal. There shouldn’t be too many people who would snatch it from us!”
Qin Li thought for a moment, then said, “In that case, this Dan Furnace, we must go and take it down tomorrow.”
“If it’s just the City of Heavenly Lawrence, then there definitely won’t be much competition!”
Unexpectedly, Zhou Tao laughed bitterly, “But nay, the value of this Dan Furnace is too shocking, and in order to sell it for a better price, the other people’s auction house, a few days ago, had already notified it out, and some of the forces in several nearby cities, all knew about it. There aren’t many of us in City of Heavenly Lawrence who know how to alchemise, but some alchemists from other cities, and even some casual cultivators who have learnt about the news, are also likely to come and compete.”
