Chapter 171 Pill Refinement and Planning
"Daoist Friend Lu, please set your mind at ease. No one understands the Foundation Establishment Pill better than I do."
Qin Ming saw that Lu Liang seemed to distrust him a little, and said immediately.
"No, Daoist Friend Qin's Alchemy Skill level is Famous Far and Wide within Azure Sea Immortal City. I naturally have complete confidence in Daoist Friend Qin."
"But this... the Pill Recipe has just been obtained, don't you need to look at it a bit more?" Lu Liang said, forcing a smile.
Lu Wan Jun, who was beside him, also felt her heart pounding, after all, this Foundation Establishment Pill concerned her own Immortal Path.
"It's alright, when Qin refines the Foundation Establishment Pill, there's nothing else to it, just familiarity."
Qin Ming only put away the Mid Second Order wind-attribute Demon Core, and then said, "The Demon Core Foundation Establishment Pill Refining Method, only a few rare Demon Cores can be used as medicine, other Second Order Demon Cores will not work."
"Coincidentally, Daoist Friend Lu's is Condition-compliant, while that Scaled Fire Lizard's Demon Core cannot be used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Hearing these words, the Lu master and disciple's expressions became even more unsightly.
Without waiting for the two of them to consider further, Qin Ming had already left the table.
Without another word, he directly took out the Mysterious Jade Furnace and placed it on the ground, preparing to start Pill Refinement immediately.
"Daoist Friend Lu, please trouble you to bring me the remaining Auxiliary Ingredient." Qin Ming said directly.
Seeing this, Lu Liang no longer hesitated. Since he had chosen to entrust the Pill Refinement matter to Daoist Friend Qin, he could only wholeheartedly believe in the other party.
He immediately took out all the Spirit Material and handed them over to Qin Ming.
The moment the Spirit Material was handed over, Lu Liang's heart trembled. "Wan Jun, let's wait outside, don't disturb Daoist Friend Qin's Pill Refinement." Lu Liang called his beloved disciple to prepare to wait outside after giving the Material.
But Qin Ming said lightly, "No need, it won't take long."
Lu Liang and the other were stunned to hear this.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ming was so confident and composed, and even when refining Pills, he didn't avoid having people present at all.
How much confidence did he have in his Alchemy Technique?
Thinking of this, Lu Liang's face lit up with joy, perhaps Daoist Friend Qin really had great confidence in successfully refining it.
Lu Wan Jun beside him was also extremely excited. To be able to observe the Pill Refinement of the legendary Foundation Establishment Pill at close range, what a rare opportunity this was? In between their wild thoughts.
Qin Ming had already begun Pill Refinement. He poured out all the Spirit Material, which was controlled by his powerful Divine Sense, floating around him.
Boom! With a wave of Qin Ming's hand, instantly, a ball of ice-blue flames appeared in his hand, it was the advanced Soul Devouring Poison Flame.
The moment Lu Liang saw the ice-blue flame appear, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, it actually gave him a very palpitations feeling.
More terrifying than the Innate True Fire of the Foundation Establishment Stage, it seemed that as long as he touched a bit, there would be a danger of death and Way annihilation!
As Qin Ming drove his Intention, the Soul Devouring Poison Flame transformed into a blue Fire Bird and drilled into the bottom of the Mysterious Jade Furnace, beginning to heat it evenly.
Then, he began to use his unique Pill Refining Technique to extract the Pill Embryo.
When it came to that Mid Second Order Demon Core, it was no exception. Under the extraction of the Yin-Yang Separation-Combination Spirit Control True Art, the Demon Power essence and Demon Soul in the Demon Core were drawn out by him like peeling silk from a cocoon.
From extracting the Pill Embryo, preparing the Medicinal Liquid, Fire Control, to fusing the Medicinal Liquid, the entire process was almost done in one go, without the slightest hesitation.
Refining the Foundation Establishment Pill was simply child's play for the current Qin Ming, not possessing much Difficulty.
Even if the Main Material was changed to a Demon Core, it was only a change of soup but not the ingredients, the Crafting Method was basically the same.
Lu Liang and his disciple were shocked by Qin Ming's set of operations, their mouths wide open, their minds blank.
Only an Incense Stick Duration had passed.
Jiu! A crisp and extremely clear cry came from the Mysterious Jade Furnace, and then a colorful glow appeared on the Alchemy Furnace.
Along with the refreshing Pill Fragrance spreading out, Lu Liang and his disciple recovered from their shock.
They didn't need to think to know that Daoist Friend Qin had succeeded in Pill Refinement.
Immediately, Lu Liang and Lu Wan Jun looked excited and overjoyed!
Qin Ming smiled slightly, and then with a wave of his hand, several Spirit Pills fell into his palm.
He opened his palm and saw four deep purple Foundation Establishment Pills lying quietly in his palm.
Among them, one Foundation Establishment Pill had Pill Veins winding around it, emitting a Spirit Halo, it was clearly a High-Quality Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Unexpectedly, this Demon Core refining Foundation Establishment Pill is actually deep purple, slightly different from the deep blue Foundation Establishment Pill refined with Jade Marrow Fungus." Qin Ming felt the abundant Medicinal Power in the Spirit Pill, confirming that Pill Refinement was undoubtedly successful.
This was still him deliberately controlling his technique, otherwise, he might have even refined a Top-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
Since he was refining for outsiders, it was better to be low-key.
Immediately, he took out a delicate Jade Bottle and sealed the High-Quality Foundation Establishment Pill and another Foundation Establishment Pill inside.
Qin Ming handed the Jade Bottle to Lu Liang and said with a smile, "Daoist Friend Lu, I have not failed my mission."
"Ah, this?"
"Thank you very much, Daoist Friend Qin!"
"Lu Wan Jun thanks Senior Adept Qin!"
Lu Liang took the Jade Bottle, cupped his hands and bowed to Qin Ming, and Lu Wan Jun also excitedly thanked Qin Ming.
"You two don't need to be so polite. I also gained benefits, we just took what we needed." Qin Ming waved his hand and said.
Lu Liang and the other had seen Qin Ming directly give them that High-Quality Foundation Establishment Pill almost without thinking.
It should be known that after the Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Refinement was successful, how the Pills were distributed was entirely up to Qin Ming's intention. 'Daoist Friend Qin's broad-mindedness truly lives up to his name as a Grandmaster!' Lu Liang held the Jade Bottle in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Alright, Daoist Friend Lu, since this matter is settled, I also need to return to Moon Gazing Island to prepare a bit, so I'll take my leave first." Qin Ming said to Lu Liang and the other.
Subsequently, Qin Ming left the Villa amidst the respectful farewell of the master and disciple.
...
Qin Ming originally planned to return directly to Moon Gazing Island after purchasing the Pill Formula in the Core District.
But the Beast Tide matter completely disrupted his plans.
He planned to go to Mirror Snow Pavilion again.
Half an Incense Stick Duration later.
Qin Ming left the Azure Sea Immortal City Core District and arrived at Mirror Snow Pavilion.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, why are you back again?"
"Could it be that things didn't go smoothly?"
Gu Qingzhao asked doubtfully, and then poured Spirit Tea for Qin Ming.
"Alas! Daoist Friend Gu, it has only been quiet for a few days, and I estimate something major is going to happen again." Qin Ming picked up the teacup and took a sip of Spirit Tea, and then said, "I just received news that there will probably be an even larger Beast Tide, which will descend upon the Cultivation World soon."
Gu Qingzhao and Huangfu Qi were surprised and exchanged a glance upon hearing this news, and then said to Qin Ming, "Just now my Second Uncle was hurriedly summoned by True Person Vast Ocean under urgent orders."
"Could it be for this matter?"
Huangfu Qi frowned and said in a deep voice, "If that's really the case, the situation may be more serious than we imagined."
Gu Qingzhao hesitated for a moment, and then said to Qin Ming, "Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Qin, don't go back to Moon Gazing Island for the time being."
"Azure Sea Immortal City has a Tier-3 Grand Formation protecting it, and even more so Golden Core True Person guarding it. Even if several Tier 3 Demon Kings come, they may not be able to break through."
Qin Ming fell into thought immediately upon hearing this.
What Gu Qingzhao said was not without reason. Once the Beast Tide breaks out, nowhere in the Cultivation World will be safe.
Although Azure Sea Immortal City is the main target of Demonic Beast attacks, many Demonic Beast groups will also roam around Wei Country, causing bloodshed and widespread devastation.
An Immortal City with Golden Core True Person and Tier 3 Spirit Vein Grand Formation, plus a strong army of Cultivators, is actually the safest place.
"Daoist Friend Gu is very right, Fellow Daoist Qin, why don't you consider this matter?" Huangfu Qi also said from the side.
Qin Ming shook his head and said, "My Moon Gazing Island has the Mist Illusion Realm blocking it, even High-Rank Demonic Beasts can't get in, it's still quite safe."
"Moreover, Moon Gazing Island's geographical Position is remote and sparsely populated. Beast groups probably won't be very interested in this place."
"My many Spirit Plant Cultivation that took most of my effort are still all On the island, it's impossible to just leave."
Gu Qingzhao also nodded gently upon hearing this.
"The reason I came here this time is to ask Daoist Friend Gu, does your Mirror Snow Pavilion have Tier-3 Formation for sale?" Qin Ming then said.
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qingzhao and Huangfu Qi were both stunned in place.
Huangfu Qi immediately said to him, "Fellow Daoist Qin, this Tier-3 Grand Formation uses the power of mountains and rivers, and Tier 3 Spirit Vein to form its own domain."
"If you only have Tier-3 Formation, without Spirit Vein supply, the Formation's effect will be greatly reduced."
"It's alright, I just want an extra layer of insurance. It will exert as much effect as it can." Qin Ming answered verbally.
But in fact, he thought to himself, soon his Moon Gazing Island will have a Third Rank Spirit Vein. Gu Qingzhao then said, "This kind of High-Rank Formation that can protect a Major Power is only available at the Wei Kingdom Capital City Headquarters. I am afraid that by the time the Formation arrives, the Beast Tide will have already broken out."
"As far as I know, no Trading Company in Azure Sea Immortal City sells Tier-3 Formation in the city."
Qin Ming frowned upon hearing this, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
However, Gu Qingzhao's next words rekindled his hope.
"However, I heard people say many years ago that Square Inch Mountain Market has Tier-3 Formation for sale."
Qin Ming asked doubtfully upon hearing this, "Square Inch Mountain Market?"
"That's right, Square Inch Mountain Market is in the Lingnan Region of Wei Country, not particularly far from Azure Sea Immortal City. With Fellow Daoist Qin's speed, you should be able to reach it within two days." Gu Qingzhao explained.
"Square Inch Mountain Market is the largest Market near the Azure Sea Immortal City Four Nations, and its background is the Thunder Origin Sect."
Qin Ming revealed a look of realization. Only a Major Power of this level could possibly master the Crafting Method of Tier-3 Formation and possess a Supreme Master of Formations.
The Thunder Origin Sect has been in charge of the Wei Country Cultivation World for hundreds of years, and also occupies an Upper Third Rank Spirit Vein. Not to mention the extremely abundant spiritual energy, the size of the Spirit Vein is even several times larger than Vast Ocean Peak.
Square Inch Mountain Market can be said to be the largest Market in Wei Country, so it's not surprising that High-Tier Formation are sold there.
On this day.
A Curly-Bearded Strongman with Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation landed in front of Square Inch Mountain Market.
This person was Qin Ming, who had taken the Myriad Illusions Pill. After half a day's journey, he arrived here riding a Silver-Winged Frost Bee.
Compared to the two days Gu Qingzhao mentioned, it was several times faster.
"Greetings, Senior!"
