Hearing Chu Shan's words, Qin Chu understood what Chu Shan meant; it seemed this Alchemy task was for him.
"Elder Chu, this won't do! The other party repeatedly stated their requirements; they only want High Grade Spirit Yuan Medicinal Pills!" Hearing Chu Shan's words, the staff member who brought the Materials over was a little anxious.
"What won't do? Just come back tonight to get the Medicinal Pills, now get out!" Chu Shan glared and directly shooed him away!
Qin Chu ignored them, took out his Pill Furnace, and began Alchemy, but a scolding voice followed.
It was Chu Shan's scolding voice; he directly reprimanded Qin Chu when he saw unreasonable techniques in his Alchemy.
When the first batch of Medicinal Pills Qin Chu refined came out, Chu Shan took them in his hand and looked, "Although the Alchemy technique is a bit rough, the quality of the Medicinal Pills is still good. Keep working!"
Qin Chu continued Alchemy, while Chu Shan drank tea, occasionally offering a scolding, but mostly just observing.
Because he had refined Spirit Yuan Medicinal Pills many times, Qin Chu refined them relatively quickly, mainly because his technique had improved significantly.
"Aren't you able to stabilize the Pill Fire of two Pill Furnaces? Now, use two Pill Furnaces at once!" Chu Shan moved a Pill Furnace in front of Qin Chu.
Surprised, Qin Chu could only open another Pill Furnace, refining Medicinal Pills with two Pill Furnaces simultaneously.
Occasionally drinking a cup of tea to rest, Qin Chu worked all day. By evening, the staff member came to collect the Medicinal Pills. After checking the quality of the Medicinal Pills, his gaze towards Qin Chu was quite surprised, because all the Spirit Yuan Medicinal Pills Qin Chu refined were High Grade.
"Stop right there! Didn't I tell you I wanted one-third of the finished product? How dare you take it all?" Seeing the staff member take too many Medicinal Pills, Chu Shan immediately roared.
"Uh... I got distracted, Elder Chu, my apologies!" The Alchemist Guild staff member who was collecting the Medicinal Pills was a bit embarrassed.
"Liu San, you'd better not mess around, or I'll kill you!" Chu Shan glared at the Alchemist Guild staff member, Liu San.
Liu San smiled awkwardly, "In front of Elder Chu, how would Liu San dare to mess around?"
After collecting two-thirds of the finished Medicinal Pills, Liu San left. He didn't want to stay in Chu Shan's Pill Refining Room. Elsewhere, people would respectfully call him 'Enforcer Liu,' but here with Chu Shan, he had no Face.
"It's getting late, so this Junior will take his leave." Qin Chu said after tidying his robes.
"Don't you want the Medicinal Pills? These are all yours. Take them and come back tomorrow!" Chu Shan pointed to the remaining one-third of the Medicinal Pills for Qin Chu, then exited the Pill Refining Room and left first.
What the f*ck... this one-third is all for himself, Qin Chu was surprised. He thought Chu Shan would only give him a portion, but he didn't expect him to give it all.
Putting the Medicinal Pills into his Storage Ring, Qin Chu left the Pill Refining Room.
After leaving the Alchemist Guild and not seeing Qian Xun, Qin Chu waited at the entrance. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Qian Xun arrived. After Qian Xun submitted his mission, the two returned to the inn together.
"Boss, the mission was too difficult. It took me half a day to kill a third-tier demonic tiger and get its gall." Upon returning to the Cloud Inn, Qian Xun grumbled.
Qin Chu took out two bottles of Spirit Yuan Medicinal Pills and handed them to Qian Xun, "These are for you."
Opening the Medicinal Pill bottle, Qian Xun looked at the Medicinal Pills, then pushed them back to Qin Chu, "I'm still a little short of reaching the fourth tier. You need these Spirit Yuan Medicinal Pills the most, so you should keep them."
"I earned a lot today; these two bottles are for you." Qin Chu said with a smile. He indeed earned a lot today, over twenty bottles, mainly because he used two Pill Furnaces for Alchemy simultaneously, making the efficiency of refining Medicinal Pills very high.
"Boss, what kind of mission were you doing in there? Sorting Medicinal Materials? They wouldn't give you that many Medicinal Pills!" Qian Xun was a little puzzled.
"Haha! Elder Chu found me a good task, refining Medicinal Pills, and he gave me some of the finished products." Qin Chu said with a laugh.
"This is where comparing people makes you angry, but there's nothing I can do, who told me I'm not an Alchemist!" Qian Xun was a bit helpless.
During their subsequent conversation, Qian Xun told Qin Chu what he had learned today about the City Lord of Sky Sword City.
Lin Hanyue, the City Lord of Sky Sword City, was the third Disciple of the Sect Leader of the Saint Martial Sect. He was very famous within the Saint Martial Sect and had a rather overbearing style. Because he crippled an Elder, the Saint Martial Sect Leader demoted him to become the City Lord of Sky Sword City.
"Boss, saying it's a demotion is actually nonsense. Lin Hanyue transformed from a former Sect Leader's Disciple into a powerful figure in the Saint Martial Sect. Although he's not an Elder, he's the most powerful person in this area of Sky Sword City." Qian Xun said.
"So that's how it is; he is indeed a domineering figure. No one would easily provoke him!" Qin Chu said.
"Exactly. Cultivators outside the Saint Martial Sect who want to provoke him need to consider the power of the Saint Martial Sect; and no one within the Saint Martial Sect would provoke him. He's someone who even dared to cripple a Sect Elder, so why provoke him? You could say he's the overlord of this region." Qian Xun said.
"I've met him and helped him with a small favor, so I shouldn't be troubled by the City Lord's Mansion people anymore. We'll do missions for a while, then go to Sky Sword Mountain to Cultivate for a while." Qin Chu said.
After Cultivating all night, Qin Chu came to the Alchemist Guild and started working again. Chu Shan held a small teapot and watched from the side, occasionally giving Qin Chu some pointers.
In the afternoon, Qin Chu refined a batch of even higher-grade Spirit Yuan Medicinal Pills.
Chu Shan held them in his hand and studied them for a while, then looked at Qin Chu, "This shouldn't be. Based on your skill and heat control, refining High Grade Spirit Yuan Medicinal Pills is reasonable."
"This Junior doesn't know what's going on either. Compared to yesterday, my technique is just a bit more proficient; nothing else has changed." Qin Chu also didn't understand.
Next, Qin Chu continued Alchemy, and the Medicinal Pills that came out were again High Grade Spirit Yuan Medicinal Pills.
Chu Shan, who couldn't figure it out, refined alongside Qin Chu. Their techniques and steps were the same, but Qin Chu refined High Grade Spirit Yuan Medicinal Pills, while Chu Shan refined High Grade Spirit Yuan Medicinal Pills.
"You continue Alchemy!" Chu Shan sat down; he couldn't understand it because this matter was illogical.
Watching Qin Chu Alchemy, after a while, Chu Shan understood where the problem lay: the Pill Fire Qin Chu controlled had sentience, making it more powerful than his Pill Fire!
"Qin Chu, what kind of Pill Fire are you using?" Chu Shan looked at Qin Chu.
"Uh... Elder Chu, I really can't say!" Qin Chu was a bit embarrassed. Possessing the flames obtained from the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, he dared not speak of it, as it could easily lead to death.
"You, and you, both of you get out!" Chu Shan waved his hand, driving everyone out of the Pill Refining Room. "Qin Chu, I have lived an upright life, never harmed anyone, and certainly wouldn't harm you. It's a good thing that you've refined an exotic fire, but do you know how to Cultivate an exotic fire? If you trust me, tell me about it, and I will teach you the art of cultivating exotic fires, so you will have a greater future." Chu Shan said, looking at Qin Chu.
"Alright!" Qin Chu activated the purple-gold flames, making them appear in his palm.
"This... this isn't an exotic fire, this is a spiritual fire!" Chu Shan's eyes were filled with shock.
