## Chapter 169 Bloodfiend Pill
After reaching a trade agreement with Gu Tongshan.
Qin Ming immediately took out another three hundred catties of High-Quality Spirit Dwelling Rice, entrusting Gu Qingzhao to sell it on his behalf.
In addition to this, there were also some Mid-Second Order Pills for the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Following this, he said to Gu Qingzhao, "Daoist Friend Gu, I have some items here that I need to trouble you to pass on to Su Yuqing."
This time, Qin Ming sent Su Yuqing one hundred catties of High-Quality Spirit Dwelling Rice at once, as well as five Rice Blossom Spirit Fish.
This was because he had asked Su Yuqing in a Jade Slip about a High-Tier Pill Formula, the value of which was considerable, involving the use of a Second Order Perfection Demon Ape Demon Core to refine pills.
Due to the sensitivity of the matter, this Jade Slip was specially placed under a Restriction by him, and only Su Yuqing could open it, as it was of great importance.
Apart from this, Qin Ming also planned to seek the Core Formation Pill Formula from Su Yuqing in the future. Qin Ming only knew that the Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus was one of the two main materials for refining the Core Formation Pill.
However, he did not know the complete Pill Formula and Crafting Method. Pill Formulas related to the Golden Core level were likely only found in Great Sects like the Thunder Origin Sect and Spirit Feather Sect, and may not even exist in other places.
But the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, a prosperous land with Nascent Soul stage Sects, would definitely have the Core Formation Pill Formula.
However, for Qin Ming to ask Su Yuqing about it now would be a bit presumptuous, so he planned to send some items first to lay the groundwork in advance.
He would wait until he broke through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage before making plans and gradually seeking it out.
As for Pill Formulas for refining pills using Demon Ape Flesh, the difficulty was not as high as using a Demon Core. Azure Sea Immortal City would definitely have them, and he didn't need to ask Su Yuqing for them.
"By the way, I also have a few Spirit Materials that I would like Daoist Friend Gu to help me keep an eye out for," Qin Ming said to Gu Qingzhao.
Gu Qingzhao Gently Smiled, her voice clear and crisp like a spring, "Fellow Daoist Qin, please speak freely."
"I need Demon Beast Bone Demon Stone, Heavenly Fragrance Jade Dew, and Nether Yang Spirit Crystal. If Gu Qingzhao has any news about any of these Spirit Materials, please purchase them directly for me," Qin Ming said.
These were all Spirit Materials needed to plant the Three Crimson Soul-Returning Grass, and not a single one could be missing.
Gu Qingzhao listened to Qin Ming's words. She had never even heard of two or three of these Spirit Materials, but she still nodded and agreed, "Fellow Daoist Qin, Rest Assured, once I collect them, I will have Aunt Long send them to you."
"Oh right, there's one more thing. I wonder if Daoist Friend Gu has any Second Tier Pill Formulas for refining Spirit Pills using Demonic Beast blood?" Qin Ming asked again.
Gu Qingzhao pondered for a moment, then immediately replied, "Such Pill Formulas... This Sect does have them, but basically no Rogue Cultivator purchases such High-Tier Pill Formulas. Therefore, the Pill Formulas are all stored in the Capital Headquarters Warehouse. Otherwise, how about I have my subordinates bring them to Fellow Daoist Qin along with the Five Elements Primordial Qi Peach Tree?"
"About how long would that take?"
"Approximately one month."
"If Fellow Daoist Qin is in a hurry for the Pill Formula, you can also go to the Immortal City Core District and take a look. There are also many High-Tier Pill Formulas inside."
"Mm, I happen to have some matters that require me to go there anyway."
...
After finishing matters at the Mirror Snow Pavilion.
Qin Ming bid farewell and left.
He did not rush to leave Azure Sea Immortal City, but instead followed the Main Street and headed straight for the Core District at the foot of Vast Ocean Peak.
From the Inner City all the way to the front of the Core District, another checkpoint was set up, and the guards here were even more heavily armed.
Even the team leader guarding the entrance was at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Yo! Master Qin has arrived!"
The team leader actually recognized Qin Ming at a glance, and immediately cupped his fists towards Qin Ming with a warm attitude.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, are you here to handle matters in the Core District?"
Qin Ming returned the greeting and replied with a slight smile, "That's right, I am. I wonder if Elder Lü Liang is in the city?"
"Oh! So Fellow Daoist Qin is looking for Elder Lü. He just returned from a mission outside these past few days. I will report it on your behalf, Fellow Daoist Qin, please wait a moment!"
After saying this, the guard team leader went inside to report.
After half a cup of tea's time.
"Ah ya! Truly unexpected! After so long, Your Esteemed Presence, Fellow Daoist Qin, has graced us with a visit, quickly, please come in." A familiar voice came, and Elder Lü Liang at the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage walked towards Qin Ming with a cheerful smile.
Qin Ming also greeted him, "Fellow Daoist Lü Liang, I am very grateful for your help with the last matter. Today, I have some matters that I must trouble you with once again."
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you are being too polite!"
"Are you referring to Wu Jiang's matter last time? It was just a trivial matter."
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Lü Liang led Qin Ming into the Core District of Azure Sea Immortal City.
As soon as he entered, Qin Ming discovered that the further in they walked, the higher the concentration of Spirit Qi in Heaven and Earth became.
The number of Cultivators moving around in the Core District was relatively fewer compared to the Inner City, but they were mostly Cultivators from large Powers.
Even the Rogue Cultivators here had deep Connections.
The Shops and buildings in the Core District were ornately decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, even more luxurious, and various large-scale trading venues were dazzling.
From the foot of Vast Ocean Peak to halfway up the mountainside, many independent High-Tier Cave Residences had been developed from bottom to top.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, let me introduce you, these Cave Residences at the foot of Vast Ocean Peak all possess at least an Upper Grade Second Tier Spirit Vein Environment."
"Inside, there are Breakthrough Chambers for Cultivation, Material processing rooms, Tier 3 Earth Fire Chambers, etc., divided into Rank A, and three other ranks."
"Among them, Rank A Cave Residences have a Mid-Tier 3 Spirit Vein Environment, and theoretically can even support Cultivators in breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, haha!"
Lü Liang introduced as he walked, with a rather proud look on his face. Qin Ming also secretly pondered, the Rent for these Rank A Cave Residences must be an astronomical figure.
"Even the top Powers of the Four Nations have Shops opened here in the Core District, and the items traded inside are all targeted at High-Level Cultivators."
Hearing this, Qin Ming went straight to the point, "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Lü Liang, the reason I came here this time is to purchase a few Second Tier Pill Formulas, I wonder if you have any recommendations?"
"Oh! So that's the case. Speaking of Alchemy Technique related Resources in the Core District, I suggest Fellow Daoist Qin go directly to 'Pill Cauldron Pavilion', let's go! I'll take you there directly," Lü Liang revealed a look of realization, and immediately recommended.
Qin Ming smiled slightly, "Then I will have to trouble Fellow Daoist Lü Liang."
The two walked together, and Qin Ming also noticed at this time that Lü Liang maintained a look of elation all the way.
Only then did he notice that the white Dharma Robe he was wearing seemed to be different from before, and was actually an Upper Grade Second Tier Dharma Robe, and the symbol on his chest had also become the pattern of a Senior Officer.
"Haha! So Fellow Daoist Lü Liang has been promoted, congratulations, congratulations!" As Qin Ming spoke, he took out a box of Spirit Gathering Tea and handed it to Lü Liang, "A small Congratulatory Gift, I hope Fellow Daoist Lü Liang will accept it."
Lü Liang was stunned upon hearing this.
He originally wanted to politely decline, but when he saw that what Qin Ming handed over was the legendary 'Spirit Gathering Tea' that could increase Divine Sense, his eyelids twitched instantly, and he neatly accepted Qin Ming's Congratulatory Gift, "Haha! A small promotion, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
He then said, "Speaking of which, I must thank Fellow Daoist Qin for pointing the way last time, allowing us to catch up with that Winged Tiger Demon, and thus make a great contribution."
"Since then, I have been transferred back to the Immortal City to be stationed in the Core District for a long time to maintain order, and I no longer have to wrestle with the Demonic Beasts of the Beast Roar Mountain Range every day."
"Now, at most once every year or two, I only need to go out on a Mission once, and at most it is just to drive away Second Tier Demonic Beasts from the Immortal City Outskirts, or escort merchant caravans... In short, it is very easy."
"Not only that, the Contribution Point rewards given by the Immortal City are extremely generous.Before long, I will be able to collect enough Contribution Points to exchange for the needed 'Poria Pill'.With this Mid-Grade Spirit Pill to increase Magical Power, perhaps in twenty or thirty years, I may have a chance to attempt breaking through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, who knows."
Lü Liang said with a happy face, trying to persuade Qin Ming, "Why doesn't Fellow Daoist Qin simply join the Immortal City? Being an Honored Guest in the Immortal City is not restrictive for Fellow Daoist Qin, and the City Lord has also promised you extremely generous Conditions."
"With Fellow Daoist Qin's Luck, even though you only have Pseudo Spirit Root Aptitude, you can still use the Tier 3 Spirit Vein Environment for Cultivation. Perhaps after decades of Hard Cultivation, breaking through to the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage is still very likely!"
"This is something that countless Rogue Cultivators in the city dream of."
Qin Ming shook his head with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Lü Liang, my ambition is not here, you don't need to persuade me any further."
Lü Liang originally planned to persuade Qin Ming to join Azure Sea Immortal City, intending to make another meritorious contribution in front of True Person Cang Hai.
But Qin Ming didn't listen to him at all.
He opened his mouth, knowing that continuing to persuade him might annoy Fellow Daoist Qin and backfire, so he didn't persuade him any further.
After half an incense stick of time.
Lü Liang led Qin Ming through twists and turns on the Street in the Core District, and came to a magnificent building in front of him, as tall as a dozen stories, with the three large characters 'Pill Cauldron Pavilion' inscribed in a flamboyant and vigorous style on the central plaque.
As soon as the two entered the Shop, a beautiful female Shopkeeper at the Late Energy Condensation Stage greeted them, her light gauze flowing, and her exquisite figure looming inside. "Senior Lü has arrived, please come inside!"
Earlier on the way here, Lü Liang had introduced to Qin Ming that this 'Pill Cauldron Pavilion' was said to have the backing of the Liang Kingdom super Power 'Profound Stream Valley'.
Profound Stream Valley was also a hegemonic Great Sect with a Golden Core Ancestor sitting in charge, and with an orderly Inheritance, it had stood firm through thousands of years of Stormy Changes in Liang Kingdom.
Unlike Wei Kingdom and the other two kingdoms, the Cultivation World of Liang Kingdom could be said to be quite stable.
One important reason for this was that it was said that there was more than one Golden Core Ancestor in Profound Stream Valley.
"Senior Lü, and this Senior is?"
The female Shopkeeper with an exquisite figure asked, looking at Qin Ming beside him.
Lü Liang introduced lightly, "This is Moon Gazing Island Lord, Fellow Daoist Qin Ming."
"I recommended Fellow Daoist Qin to come to your place to purchase some Pill Formulas."
When the female Shopkeeper of Pill Cauldron Pavilion heard that the person in front of her was Qin Ming, who was famous throughout the Immortal City, a look of shock was revealed on her face, and she hurriedly bowed gracefully, "So it is Senior Adept Qin, I have been impolite, please come to the Private Room for some Spirit Tea."
"Cough! Fellow Daoist Qin, you handle your matters first, I will wait downstairs," Lü Liang said very tactfully.
He knew that Qin Ming's purchase of Pill Formulas must involve some privacy and taboos, and it was not good for him to follow him up.
Subsequently, Qin Ming entered a Private Room on the Third Floor under the guidance of the female Shopkeeper.
After the Shopkeeper of Pill Cauldron Pavilion brewed Spirit Tea for Qin Ming, she smiled charmingly and said, "It is truly an honor for Senior Adept Qin to visit our Sect, may I ask what kind of Pill Formula Senior needs?"
Qin Ming went straight to the point, "I need a few Second Tier Pill Formulas of the Vital Energy and Blood enhancement type."
Upon hearing this, the Shopkeeper's beautiful eyes lit up, and she introduced to Qin Ming, "Our Sect has a total of four kinds of Second Tier Vital Energy and Blood type Pill Formulas."
"They are Ding Qi Pill, a Second-Order Low-Grade Spirit Pill, which requires Hundred-Year Crimson Blood Grass as medicine for Pill Refinement; Blood Bone Pill, a Mid-Second Order Spirit Pill, which requires Second Tier Demonic Beast bone marrow for refining."
"Blood River Pill, a Second-Order Low-Grade Spirit Pill, which requires Royal Jelly containing Vital Energy and Blood for refining; Bloodfiend Pill, a Mid-Second Order Spirit Pill, depending on the grade of Demonic Beast blood, the final Pill grade of the refined pills will also fluctuate."
Qin Ming pondered slightly, and then said, "I will take the Bloodfiend Pill and Blood Bone Pill Pill Formulas."
Pill Formulas for Body Refinement Cultivators were originally extremely rare, and it was already quite rare to have four kinds here at once.
What's more, there was the Bloodfiend Pill Formula that Qin Ming urgently needed.
The Shopkeeper smiled gracefully and said:
"The Blood Bone Pill Formula is priced at two thousand Spirit Stones, and the Bloodfiend Pill Formula is priced at three thousand Spirit Stones, totaling five thousand Spirit Stones."
"However, Senior Adept Qin is an honored guest, and I can take the liberty of offering Senior a 10% discount."
"I hope that if Senior Adept Qin has any purchase or sale needs for Pills, you are welcome to Trade with us."
Qin Ming knew that this was the other party showing goodwill to him, and did not refuse. He immediately took out four thousand five hundred Spirit Stones and completed the Trade with her.
After the transaction was completed.
The female Shopkeeper of Pill Cauldron Pavilion enthusiastically sent Qin Ming downstairs.
