Qin Chu looked at Lang Lang in surprise, accumulating Spirit Stones to buy property? He had never thought of that. He didn't plan to stay in Sacred Martial City for long, so why buy property?
"What's wrong with buying property? This is Sacred Martial City, the core of Sacred Martial Continent. Having property here is more practical than owning it elsewhere! After resolving the current conflict, with your ability as a fifth-tier, five-star Alchemist, you can do very well in Sacred Martial City. In the future, you'll marry and have children, establishing your family and career. Do you want to live a carefree life in the countryside? Then your child's background and starting point will be lower than others'!" Lang Lang said, looking at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu thought for a moment and nodded, "Then I'll still earn Spirit Stones first!"
Qin Chu felt that buying property was unnecessary, but earning Spirit Stones was a must.
After returning to the Alchemist Guild with Lang Lang, Qin Chu met Qin Longfeng.
Qin Longfeng greeted Qin Chu. He was an Alchemist in the Alchemist Guild and had known Qin Chu since they were in Heavenly Sword City. Therefore, there was no need to worry about suspicion or the leakage of their relationship, and no one knew he was from Vermilion Bird Villa.
Qin Chu led Qin Longfeng into his courtyard and told him about the current situation.
"Since Heavenly Sword City, Uncle has visited several Alchemist branch guilds but hasn't found the Spirit Medicine to treat your grandfather's Dantian. After receiving the Clan Chief's message, he rushed here. This is also the last hope. If it can't be found in Sacred Martial City, it will be very difficult to find anywhere else," Qin Longfeng said.
"What Medicinal Pills or Materials are needed to treat my grandfather's Dantian?" Qin Chu asked.
"Five-leaf flower. It's the main ingredient for the sixth-tier, king-grade Medicinal Pill, Return to Origin Pill. The Five-leaf flower is also called the Midnight flower, as it only blooms at midnight, making it extremely rare," Qin Longfeng explained.
"I'll also find a way. If the Alchemist Guild doesn't have it, I'll put out a quest at Devil's Castle," Qin Chu stated his decision.
"That works, but you need to be careful. Many people are watching you now. How are you doing at the Alchemist Guild?" Qin Longfeng asked.
Qin Chu smiled, "I'm doing very well. The several big shots are taking good care of me, and Gu Zhengxiong keeps getting frustrated. However, Cultivating Sword Intent and Battle Intent isn't very convenient. Someone close to me recommended I buy a property in a special place where others wouldn't dare to attack easily, but I don't think it's necessary, and Spirit Stones are currently scarce."
"Don't buy it yet. Uncle will go discuss it with your Third Uncle to see if there's a suitable place!" Qin Longfeng said.
After a brief exchange with Qin Chu, Qin Longfeng left. He was going to see Qin Longxuan to communicate with him.
While Qin Chu was resting, Ji Xin arrived, mainly to ask if Qin Chu was adapting well. She felt that Qin Chu was a good talent, worth paying attention to, and she also thanked Qin Chu's appearance for allowing her to successfully suppress Gu Zhengxiong.
After pouring tea for Ji Xin, Qin Chu sat down, "Thank you, President Ji, for your concern, and thank you, President Ji, for arranging protection for Qin Chu."
"Qin Chu, you're too polite. Lang Lang has nothing much to do, spending his days in taverns and brothels, so it's good to give him something to do," Ji Xin said with a smile. She was very satisfied with Qin Chu, and she also knew that grateful people always had good character.
After chatting for a while, Qin Chu inquired about the Five-leaf flower.
"Five-leaf flower... I'll help you ask around. You can also put out a quest, but this Five-leaf flower is the main ingredient for the Return to Origin Pill, which repairs Dantian injuries, so the price won't be low; it will be very high," Ji Xin said. She didn't explicitly state it, but even with Qin Chu's foundation of top-grade Heavenly Origin Pills, it would be difficult to acquire a Five-leaf flower. Heavenly Origin Pills and Return to Origin Pills were not comparable.
"High price... Then we'll have to see," Qin Chu said.
After Cultivating all night and refining some Medicinal Pills, Qin Chu left his small courtyard and went to the Alchemist Guild hall. He placed an order at the enforcement desk for receiving quests, seeking a Five-leaf flower, with a reward of one Spirit Intent Grass!
After seeing the Spirit Intent Grass Qin Chu took out, the Alchemist Guild's enforcement officer arranged the quest.
After placing the quest, Qin Chu went to the trading area, where Lang Lang was already waiting. He was now addicted to swindling people and was just waiting to sell goods for Qin Chu.
Qin Chu took out the prepared Medicinal Pills and placed them in the counter, and Lang Lang began his spiel.
In fact, many people were already waiting. Top-grade Medicinal Pills were hard to come by, and if they could buy them, they naturally would. Soon, all the Medicinal Pills Qin Chu had brought were sold out. Qin Chu and Lang Lang exchanged glances, "Brother Lang, you're truly fierce."
"The goods are sold, let's go drink and eat meat!" With that, Lang Lang walked ahead.
Looking at Lang Lang, who was walking ahead with a battle saber on his back, Qin Chu admired him. Few experts could be as uninhibited as Lang Lang. As for the battle saber on Lang Lang's back, Qin Chu knew it wasn't the one Lang Lang used in combat. The battle saber Lang Lang was currently carrying was a prop; his purpose was to tell others that he was a saber wielder.
The White Tiger Sacred Clan and the Blazing Thunder Sacred Clan had been very frustrated lately. Qin Chu was jumping around in their eyes, and they just couldn't kill him! How could they save face? Any Cultivator with a bit of news in the world knew about their conflict with Qin Chu, and Qin Chu was now living incredibly comfortably, which showed their incompetence. But Qin Chu stayed within the Alchemist Guild, the furthest he went was to drink at the restaurant across from the Alchemist Guild. They couldn't make a move. Make a move in the restaurant? Qin Chu had Lang Lang protecting him; two charges, and they would be back at the Alchemist Guild.
Unable to bear it any longer, Lei Tianyu, who was in charge of affairs for the Blazing Thunder Sacred Clan, found Gu Zhengxiong.
"President Gu, are you just going to let your enemy stay in the Alchemist Guild like this?" Upon arriving at the Gu family mansion and seeing Gu Zhengxiong, Lei Tianyu directly stated his purpose.
"I can't do anything. That bitch Ji Xin, along with a few blind old geezers, insisted on supporting him to stay in the Alchemist Guild. I can't expel him," Gu Zhengxiong's expression was very displeased.
"Then is there any way? I want him dead!" Lei Tianyu said.
Gu Zhengxiong was silent for a moment, "It's not that there's no chance. Every day after he sells his Medicinal Pills, he and Lang Lang go to the restaurant across from the Alchemist Guild to drink. That's a good opportunity for you to make a move."
"No! That's too close to the Alchemist Guild. If they discover our people, they'll run straight back to the Alchemist Guild, and we might not be able to stop them," Lei Tianyu said.
"There's a chance. After you make your move, I'll bring people to block the entrance of the Alchemist Guild, saying that people involved in disputes are not allowed to enter the Alchemist Guild. If they can't enter the Alchemist Guild, you can strike hard and kill him. You need to be fast, and kill Qin Chu before that bitch Ji Xin and that old immortal Shi Xun show up," Gu Zhengxiong said. He knew that after this incident, Ji Xin would fall out with him, but so be it; Qin Chu had to die.
Lei Tianyu nodded, "Good, then we'll do that. We'll kill him tomorrow. You handle blocking the entrance!"
