Qin Ming followed Gu Qingzhao and went up to the Elegant Room, Seventh Floor of Mirror Snow Pavilion.
"Daoist Friend Gu, you really didn't have to go to such lengths."
Although Qin Ming had sent a Message Talisman to Gu Qingzhao as soon as he arrived at Vast Sea Immortal City.
But he didn't expect that she, a dignified Pavilion Lord, would actually come out to greet him personally.
He was truly flattered and surprised.
Gu Qingzhao secretly sized up Qin Ming with her Starry Eyes. She vaguely felt that upon seeing him again this time, the other party had obviously undergone some kind of change, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
In addition to this.
Qin Ming also exuded a kind of detached and refined temperament.
With her Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation, she was somewhat unable to see through him.
Gu Qingzhao's voice, like the sound of a clear spring, replied, "Fellow Daoist Qin is an important cooperation partner of our Pavilion, and also an Honorary Guest Elder."
"It's your first time coming to Vast Sea Immortal City, so naturally, everyone in the Pavilion should come out to meet you."
Qin Ming could only nod and smile.
Elegant Room Interior.
Fragrant aroma wafted gently.
Gu Qingzhao poured Spirit Tea for Qin Ming, and then said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, have you come this time for the Jade Marrow Fungus again?"
"Exactly." Qin Ming replied, taking a sip of Spirit Tea.
"Alas, this item is truly difficult to find, it's all monopolized by the Upper Sects."
"Very little of it flows out to the outside world."
Qin Ming had actually expected this long ago, but still said, "It's alright, Daoist Friend Gu, I am already extremely grateful that you were able to help me collect so many Spirit Materials."
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you don't need to be so polite, for me it's just a trivial matter." Gu Qingzhao said nonchalantly, smiling calmly.
She then continued.
"In addition to the Spirit Materials collected previously, a new batch has been added recently, I will have Shopkeeper Liao bring them over to you now."
Qin Ming's face lit up with joy, "That would be the best."
A moment later.
Shopkeeper Liao, having received Gu Qingzhao's instructions, entered the Room Interior.
He first greeted Qin Ming warmly.
Then, from his Storage Bag, he took out Jade Boxes of various sizes, inside which were sealed many Spirit Materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.
Some Spirit Herbs had three or four portions, while others had only one portion, in addition, there were some Spirit Materials whose age was insufficient, and even some withered Spirit Materials that had already lost their Medicinal Property.
Gu Qingzhao also couldn't understand why Qin Ming would even collect ineffective Spirit Materials.
Perhaps he wanted to use them for experiments or something.
After all, Alchemists have many ideas.
Qin Ming raised his hand and waved, and all the Spirit Materials on the table disappeared, and were stored into his Storage Bag.
Then he asked Shopkeeper Liao, "Shopkeeper Liao, what is the price of these Spirit Materials? I will take them all."
Shopkeeper Liao said with a smile on his face, "The cost of these Materials, after an 80% discount, is a total of more than thirty thousand Spirit Stones."
"The Pavilion Lord specifically instructed that Fellow Daoist Qin can settle for thirty thousand Spirit Stones."
Qin Ming knew that this was Gu Qingzhao showing him goodwill, and specially gave him a discount.
Not only that, Gu Qingzhao using Mirror Snow Pavilion's Channel to collect Materials for him already incurred a considerable Favor from the other party.
Since that's the case.
At the same time as the Trade, then he could just repay her Favor.
Under the gaze of Gu Qingzhao and Shopkeeper Liao.
Two exquisite Porcelain Bottles appeared in Qin Ming's hand.
He took out one of the Porcelain Bottles, first handed it to Gu Qingzhao, and then said, "This is my token of appreciation for Daoist Friend Gu, thank you for taking the trouble to care about my affairs."
Then he placed another Porcelain Bottle on the table and said lightly, "Also, the Pills in this bottle are entrusted for Auction, the thirty thousand Spirit Stones can be deducted from it at that time."
Shopkeeper Liao, standing to the side, also felt his eyelids twitch upon hearing this.
He couldn't understand, what kind of Pills in one bottle are worth more than thirty thousand Spirit Stones?
A hint of doubt also appeared in Gu Qingzhao's beautiful eyes. Her fair and jade-like soft hand took the Porcelain Bottle and then gently opened the seal.
A rich and unusual fragrance emanated out, filling the entire Elegant Room Interior.
Gu Qingzhao tilted the Porcelain Bottle, and immediately a snow-white, jade-like Spirit Pill rolled into her palm.
The Spirit Pill emitted an astonishing Spiritual Aura, its Aura was clearly not of First Grade Pills.
But rather, Second Tier Spirit Pill!
Gu Qingzhao looked at the Pill in her hand, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
She carefully recalled, it seemed that this kind of Pill had been Auctioned off somewhere before.
Suddenly.
She remembered, it was at a large-scale Auction in Vast Sea Immortal City, this Spirit Pill had been Auctioned off before.
Named Youth Preserving Pill, its effect is only one.
That is Eternal Youth and Ageless Beauty.
Even Gu Qingzhao, who was well-traveled and knowledgeable, was surprised and doubtful at this moment.
She naturally knew that the Difficulty of refining this Second Tier Youth Preserving Pill was no less than that of Foundation Establishment Pills.
And may even exceed it.
Faced with Qin Ming's such thoughtfulness, even she, who was always aloof and cold, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart.
No woman can resist the temptation of Ageless Beauty.
The scarcity of this Youth Preserving Pill is even no less than that of Foundation Establishment Pills.
Gu Qingzhao's beautiful eyes flickered, she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Then I will accept your kindness without ceremony, thank you for your good intentions, Fellow Daoist Qin!"
"At the same time, I also congratulate Fellow Daoist Qin on advancing to Tier 2 Grandmaster Alchemist!"
Shopkeeper Liao, hearing these words from the side, couldn't help but have his thoughts surging.
He naturally also had quite a bit of experience.
When Gu Qingzhao poured out the Spirit Pill, he also understood why a bottle of Pills could be worth so many Materials.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, could this be a Second Order Youth Preserving Pill?" As the Shopkeeper of Mirror Snow Pavilion, he naturally recognized this item.
"Was it refined by Fellow Daoist Qin?"
Qin Ming nodded gently, noncommittal.
Having received Qin Ming's affirmative answer, Shopkeeper Liao also sincerely congratulated him, "Congratulations Fellow Daoist Qin on your Breakthrough to Tier 2 Grandmaster Alchemist, taking another step forward on the Immortal Path."
He then remembered something and asked hesitantly, "Fellow Daoist Qin, isn't it said that refining Second Tier Spirit Pills requires using Innate True Fire of the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
"I was fortunate enough to refine a Second Tier Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, therefore I can refine Second Tier Spirit Pills," Qin Ming explained.
Gu Qingzhao also revealed a look of understanding.
"Unexpectedly, Fellow Daoist Qin, you broke through to become a Second Order Alchemist so quickly, currently in Vast Sea Immortal City, there are only three Second Order Alchemists in total."
"Fellow Daoist Qin can refine Youth Preserving Pills, refining Foundation Establishment Pills is naturally also a piece of cake."
"And currently, among the three Second Order Alchemists, only Pill Master Sun Jinnian has the ability to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, among the Pill Masters in Immortal City, his status and reputation are also the highest."
Trade concluded.
Qin Ming learned a lot about the situation within Vast Sea Immortal City from Gu Qingzhao.
He then stayed at the Inn of Mirror Snow Pavilion.
For the next two days.
Qin Ming was trying to find ways to inquire about the whereabouts of the Jade Marrow Fungus.
However.
In the end, he gained nothing.
Just as he was planning to return to Moon Gazing Island.
News that excited him came from Gu Qingzhao's side.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, the latest Information shows that in Vast Sea Immortal City, Loose Cultivators have again spontaneously organized Crowdfunding Materials, inviting Pill Master Sun Jinnian to refine Foundation Establishment Pills."
"Next, there is a high probability that these Loose Cultivators will have traces of the Main Material on them."
