Chapter 191: The Location of the Core Formation Pill Formula
Elder Xu listened to Qin Ming's words and immediately said with regret,
"Ah~ If only Fellow Daoist Qin was willing to join our Profound Stream Valley."
"Although this old man is not very proficient in the Dao of Alchemy, our Profound Stream Valley has a complete Pill Dao Inheritance."
When Qin Ming heard this, his entire being was invigorated. Without revealing anything on his face, he asked, "Even a Tier 3 Pill Dao Inheritance?"
"That's only natural."
"Because our Profound Stream Valley's founding Old Ancestor, 'Ancestor Yun Xi,' was an Upper Third Rank Dao of Alchemy Grandmaster!"
When Elder Xu spoke of this, a hint of pride emerged in his words.
Clearly, he was filled with reverence for this Old Ancestor of theirs.
"As far as I know, the Tier 3 Pill Formulas that the Old Ancestor passed down are quite numerous, but they are all guarded by those old fogeys on Pill Peak."
"Let alone ordinary Tier 3 Pill Formulas."
"There's even the Core Formation Pill Formula."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming deliberately exclaimed in surprise, "Core Formation Pill Formula?"
Elder Xu looked at Qin Ming's shocked reaction, finding it perfectly reasonable.
"That's right! Hehe! Among the Golden Core Sects of the Four Nations in the Southern Wastelands Cultivation World, only my Profound Stream Valley controls the Core Formation Pill Crafting Method."
"However, even Grandmaster Gongsun Yang, our sect's only Third-Order Alchemy Grandmaster, has an extremely low Pill Success Rate when refining the Core Formation Pill."
"According to him, the difficulty of refining the Core Formation Pill is countless times greater than that of ordinary Tier 3 Spirit Pills, something that ordinary Pill Masters can never hope to achieve."
"Moreover, the materials for refining the Core Formation Pill are also extremely difficult to find, and one of the main materials, the 'Fire-Bathed Golden Lotus,' is extremely rare even in the resource-rich Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, let alone in the Southern Wastelands Cultivation World."
After becoming familiar with Qin Ming, Elder Xu also opened up and chatted freely with Qin Ming.
Qin Ming said with some envy, "Profound Stream Valley's Pill Dao Inheritance is systematic and well-organized, truly worthy of being the number one Great Sect of Liang Kingdom."
"Hehe! That's only natural. Our Liang Kingdom is different from Wei Kingdom. Not only does it have a deep Foundation, but it also Takes Seriously the discovery of various Cultivator talents."
"Grandmaster Gongsun Yang stood out from our sect's Pill Tower Assessment, which is held every ten years."
"Speaking of which, Gongsun Yang was just a cowherd from the border of Liang Kingdom back then."
"If it weren't for that Pill Tower Assessment, there probably wouldn't be today's Profound Stream Valley Tier 3 Pill Dao Grandmaster, hahaha."
Elder Xu of Profound Stream Valley did not have too many reservations towards Qin Ming. These matters within the Sect were not big secrets to begin with.
Moreover, Qin Ming had painstakingly answered his questions and resolved his doubts for two whole days, so Elder Xu had an extremely good impression of him and was willing to chat more.
"Pill Tower?"
Qin Ming asked in confusion.
Elder Xu smiled slightly and explained, "Little Friend Qin, this Pill Tower Assessment is actually like the Wooden Formation of our Spirit Plant Master Illusionary Realm Trial Assessment; the nature is actually similar."
"This Assessment was established by our Profound Stream Valley's founding Old Ancestor, 'Ancestor Yun Xi,' to select and assess Dao of Alchemy talents."
"It is also an important reason why Profound Stream Valley's Pill Dao Inheritance has endured for so long."
"Those who pass the Seventh Layer or above of the Pill Tower will also receive unexpected additional rewards."
"And they are all closely related to the Dao of Alchemy, such as Alchemy Furnaces, Pill Formulas, Pill Refining Spirit Materials, Pill Incantations, Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, and so on."
"However, the Difficulty of passing is not ordinary either. Although my Profound Stream Valley recruits a batch of Pill Dao Disciples every ten years, in the past few hundred years, only a handful of people have been able to pass the Sixth Layer or above."
Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this, seeming thoughtful.
"I see."
"In that case, wouldn't it mean that the more Pill Tower Layers one passes, the more generous the rewards?"
Elder Xu replied, "That's right."
"Our sect's Elder Gongsun Yang, when he passed the Seventh Layer and Eighth Layer of the Pill Tower, obtained a piece of extremely rare Upper Third Rank Soul Nourishing Wood and a Tier 3 Mid Grade Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire."
"This is what allowed him to Breakthrough and become a Third-Order Alchemy Grandmaster in his subsequent Immortal Cultivation."
"This old man estimates that even Tier 3 Pill Formula Inheritances may exist in the Upper Levels of the Pill Tower."
"Could it be...Fellow Daoist Qin is also interested in my sect's Pill Tower?"
"Why not just join my Profound Stream Valley? What's so good about staying in Wei Kingdom? It's been ravaged by Beast Tides, and I heard that a formidable Demon has recently emerged, making the three Golden Cores very troubled…"
Elder Xu's voice was earnest and persuasive, bringing the topic back to this again.
Because he truly admired Qin Ming very much.
Qin Ming smiled wryly again upon hearing this and politely declined Elder Xu's kind intentions.
He had already obtained the information he wanted, and it was about time to stop.
"In any case, this old man still has to thank Little Friend Qin for your explanation and clarification, which has enlightened me greatly." "Little Friend Qin's unique insights into the Way of Spirit Plants have truly broadened this old man's horizons."
"It's no wonder you were able to bring back Spirit Rest Rice, which has been Extinct in the Cultivation World for a hundred years."
"You are the most promising Spirit Plant Grandmaster this old man has ever seen, your future is boundless."
"Senior Xu, you are too kind. We were just Sparring and exchanging pointers," Qin Ming said modestly.
"Ah, if only this old man could stay out longer. There are still piles of Sect affairs to handle. I even wanted to stay a few more days…"
"Little Friend Qin, if you have the chance, you must come to my Liang Kingdom Profound Stream Valley as a guest. At that time, we can chat again to our hearts' content, haha."
"Then I shall take Senior Xu at his word. This junior also wishes to witness the grandeur of Liang Kingdom's Great Sect."
…
After the exchange ended.
Qin Ming left Pill Cauldron Pavilion under the farewell send-off of Elder Xu and Xu Jing.
At the Entrance of Pill Cauldron Pavilion.
"Great-Grandfather, what do you think of this Fellow Daoist Qin?"
"Ah, this child is definitely not something ordinary. It's a pity that he is devoted to the fields and dislikes being restrained. I have invited and tested him many times. This kind of Cultivator will never easily join Sect Powers and cannot be used by me."
"However, befriending him is not a mistake."
"If one day, Little Friend Qin becomes a Tier 3 Spirit Plant Grandmaster, or even a Third-Order Alchemy Grandmaster."
"It would be too late to befriend him by then."
Elder Xu sighed deeply.
"Tier 3 Grandmaster?!"
Xu Jing was extremely shocked. She had not expected her grandfather's evaluation of Fellow Daoist Qin to have reached such a high level.
A Tier 3 Grandmaster was already able to stand at the Ceiling of the Southern Wastelands Cultivation World… On the other side.
Qin Ming had already obtained the information he wanted from Profound Stream Valley Elder Xu.
The Core Formation Pill Formula, apart from being within Pill Peak and in the hands of Third-Order Alchemy Grandmaster Gongsun Yang, also has a very high probability of existing in the Upper Levels of the Pill Tower.
'Profound Stream Valley conducts a Pill Tower Assessment every ten years to select Disciples…'
'Perhaps, this will be an opportunity.'
'However, I need to wait until I Breakthrough to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage before planning this matter.'
'By then, even if my Strength is not a match for a Golden Core Ancestor, escaping safely should not be too much of a problem.'
'Of course, it would be best if I could obtain the Core Formation Pill Formula without anyone noticing.'
All the Materials for refining the Jade Mystery Pill have also been collected. Next, once he returns On the island, he can begin Pill Refinement.
Subsequently.
Qin Ming went to Lü Liang's Villa.
He had originally promised to go to his residence for dinner on the first day he arrived.
But unexpectedly, he had encountered the knowledge-thirsty Elder Xu, and chatted with him for two whole days.
Qin Ming arrived at Lü Liang's Villa, and the two exchanged greetings.
Afterwards, Lü Wan Jun personally prepared a table full of wine and dishes.
Qin Ming also took out a jar of Spirit Fire Wine and immediately poured a cup for Lü Liang and his disciple each.
Lü Liang had naturally heard of the great name of the Spirit Fire Wine brewed by Qin Ming. A jar of it had been Auctioned in Mirror Snow Pavilion and fetched an extremely high price at the time.
Qin Ming generously took out Spirit Wine to share, so he naturally would not decline.
Lü Wan Jun had also been craving it for a long time.
Before long, she had drunk several cups in a row. This wine was at most satisfying for Qin Ming and Lü Liang's palates.
But for her Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation, it had a great effect on increasing her Cultivation.
Amidst the clinking of cups and passing of goblets, Qin Ming also inquired with Lü Liang about the recent changes in the Azure Sea Immortal City situation.
After all, he was among the Senior Members of Immortal City and naturally knew a lot of the latest Information.
