Chapter 14: Initial Understanding Of Alchemy

This day, Master Su visited again.

Qin Ming not only cooked a pot of Gold Spirit Rice, but also prepared the finest wine and dishes to entertain.

He had recently earned a lot of Spirit Stones selling Spirit Rice.

The Spirit Stone Pouch that had been deflated last year was now full again, with more than two hundred Spirit Stones.

For him, a Qi Refining Cultivator, it was also a considerable income.

He also specially bought some Spirit Beast Meat to go with the wine; some high-quality Spirit Beast Meat, when eaten, could not only replenish Qi and Blood, but also be beneficial for Cultivation.

As for the price… it was somewhat touching. 【

From several contacts, Qin Ming gradually understood Master Su’s character.

Although he was born with a hint of Arrogance, he was still easy to get along with.

On weekdays, Master Su would occasionally mention Alchemy to Qin Ming.

From Master Su’s words, Qin Ming could feel that the other party’s Alchemy Talent was really high.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to reach the Mid-Grade Alchemist rank at such a young age.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, I didn’t come to buy Spirit Rice this time, but I want to make a Deal with you for something else.” Master Su ate a bite of the dish, raised the Wine Cup, and drank it all down, then explained his Intention.

Qin Ming couldn’t help but be very curious, and Muttered: ‘I, a mere Ordinary Spirit Farmer, what Deal could this Master Su want to make with me besides buying Spirit Rice?’

“Master Su, what exactly is it?” Qin Ming also drank a Wine Cup, and couldn’t help but be very curious.

“I’m going to refine a Pill, and will need a large amount of Yin Ning Flowers, I want to ask Fellow Daoist to help me with the Cultivation.” Master Su said solemnly.

“Yin Ning Flower?”

In Qin Ming’s Mind, a Spirit Plant with a shape similar to a orchid grass immediately appeared, and the flowers that bloomed were like ice and frost, with Yellow Stamens.

Yin Ning Flower is a First-Rank Spirit Plant, its Growth Cycle is about one year, with a flower period of about seven days, and its flower can be used in Medicines and Alchemy.

Qin Ming had seen this flower in the Spirit Plant Book he bought before.

He had quite an Impression.

However, he had heard Master Su mention that this Yin Ning Flower could be used as an Auxiliary Material for refining a First-Rank High-Grade Pill, the ‘Marrow Cleansing Pill’.

Marrow Cleansing Pill is used for the Late Qi Refining’s Breakthrough Pill, it’s extremely rare, there is no market for it, and the Price is extremely high.

‘Could it be?’

‘Is he going to prepare to Breakthrough as a High-Grade Alchemist?!’

Qin Ming, linking this, probably already understood what Pill Master Su wanted to refine.

But…

Why didn’t Master Su ask the Spirit Plant Master of the Spirit Feather Sect for help?

Instead, he came to ask him, this Spirit Farmer?

Qin Ming asked the Doubt in his Mind.

“Haha, Su is Accustomed to Free and Unrestrained, I don’t like being bound by the Sect, if I ask the Spirit Feather Sect to Cultivate, it will definitely be a mess.” Master Su explained unhurriedly.

“I see.” Qin Ming nodded and poured Wine for Master Su again.

“But this Yin Ning Flower is a First-Rank Spirit Plant, and I’ve never cultivated it… I’m afraid…”

Qin Ming hesitated slightly, then said frankly.

“Fellow Daoist Qin is joking, since you can succeed in cultivating Spirit Plants like Beast Fang Rice, I believe it won’t be difficult for you to cultivate Yin Ning Flower.” Master Su looked at Qin Ming with a half-smile.

“In addition, I can provide the Seed of the Yin Ning Flower, and after the Cultivation is successful, I can acquire it at a Price of five Spirit Stones per plant.”

Qin Ming’s Heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t tempted.

According to the Price offered by Master Su, this was a considerable Spirit Stone income.

Qin Ming Pondered carefully for a while and said: “I can try, but I can’t guarantee Success.”

“Besides that, I have an Unreasonable Request, I wonder if Master Su can Agree?”

“Speak.”

“I can Cultivate this Yin Ning Flower for Master Su, after it’s Mature, I will only take one-tenth, the rest will be yours.”

“However… I want to learn a thing or two of Alchemy from Master Su.”

Qin Ming saw a great Opportunity right in front of him, how could he not seize it?

He didn’t expect Master Su to teach him any Superior Alchemy, if he could learn a little of the Alchemy Fur on normal days, he would be Satisfied.

It doesn’t matter if Master Su doesn’t Agree, if he does, it’s a big profit.

Master Su was stunned when he heard this, looked Qin Ming up and down for a while, and then laughed without any good air this time: “So you’re waiting for me here?”

“But you have to remember clearly that Alchemy is not only very expensive, but also requires Talent, not just anyone can learn it.”

“Don’t blame me for not Reminding you then.”

Qin Ming, seeing that the other party said so, was delighted in his Heart, and knew that this Matter had a chance.

This time, it’s Yin Ning Flower, and next time, who knows what Spirit Grass Master Su will want to Cultivate, which can make the other party dig out a little more goods.

‘Hehe heh!’

Qin Ming’s Thought turned frantically, his little Abacus clicking loudly.

“I’m planning to Stay here for three more years, so, how about this, you Cultivate Spirit Herbs for me for three more years.”

“I’ll Exchange some Experience for you.”

Qin Ming’s face lit up and said: “Deal!”

“This is the 《Alchemy Basics Book》, you must understand the most basic Medicine properties, this is some of my summary Notes when I first started learning, you can take a look at it first.” After Master Su said that, he took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming received the Jade Slip and quickly thanked him.

He only took a quick look:

‘The Three Essentials of Alchemy, namely: Cauldron, Medicines, and Heat Control.’

Qin Ming didn’t need to look, he thought it was just an Ordinary Alchemy Basics book.

But after looking at this Alchemy Basics, he found that most of it came from Master Su’s own Notes.

The Jade Slip divided the Alchemy Basics into three major sections.

Respectively, the 《Cauldron section》, including different Spirit Pills, which need to be refined with different Cauldrons, and the specific Effect, when to move the Cauldron, when to change the Cauldron, etc.

The 《Medicines section》 is about the Growth Habits, Environment, and Medicinal Properties of various Spirit Materials and Spirit Herbs, and Master Su also noted some of his Notes.

The 《Heat Control section》 mainly records how to extract and apply it when refining Pills, and Alchemy fire of different Ranks.

Overall, Master Su’s Alchemy Basics in this Jade Slip is very systematic and detailed.

‘With this Book alone, it’s worth it even if he Cultivates for three years!’

Qin Ming happily put away the Jade Slip, and then picked up the Wine Cup and toasted Master Su.

The two reached an Agreement and continued Eating.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

At this moment.

A knock on Qin Ming’s door sounded.

“Master Su, you eat first, I’ll open the door.”

He Greeted, then put down his bowl and chopsticks and got up to open the door.

The door opened.

The person who came was actually Fellow Daoist Long.

Qin Ming quickly welcomed him in, “Fellow Daoist Long, please come in, we’re Eating right now, why don’t you eat something together?”

Fellow Daoist Long Frowned, and got straight to the point: “No need, I’m here as usual, just to buy some Spirit Rice… just don’t…”

He hadn’t finished speaking.

He saw a young figure in White-Robed, who was Eating at the table.

It was Master Su.

He couldn’t help but be shocked, and his face showed a strange Expression.

‘How could Master Su be here? He’s even Eating with him?’

Fellow Daoist Long greeted Master Su.

But he didn’t sit down either.

He looked at the Meal on the table, which were all Spirit Rice, Spirit Wine, and Spirit Beast Meat, and it probably couldn’t be done for less than five Spirit Stones.

‘What’s their Relationship? It seems that I underestimated this Fellow Daoist Qin!’

Even he couldn’t bear to eat like this every day, and he was somewhat unable to see through Qin Ming in his Heart.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Qin, I won’t Eat, I have some other things.”

Qin Ming saw that the other party didn’t really want to Stay and Eat, so he immediately took out a bag of Spirit Rice from his Storage Bag, and handed it to Fellow Daoist Long.

“The old Rules, here are eighty catties of Spirit Rice, Fellow Daoist Long, please take a look.”

Fellow Daoist Long received the Spirit Rice, just weighed it with his hand, and put it into his Storage Bag, and then took out twenty Spirit Stones and handed them to Qin Ming.

After buying the Spirit Rice, Fellow Daoist Long exchanged Greetings with the two of them and Left.

Qin Ming sent Fellow Daoist Long to the door.

Qin Ming returned to the table and sat down.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Qin has recently been making a fortune from the Spirit Rice Business!” Master Su picked up a bite of the dish and put it into his mouth, joking.

“Just barely making a living, it’s just that the market price of Spirit Rice has risen recently, but it’s not worth mentioning compared to Master Su.” Qin Ming said reservedly.

They had had enough to Eat and Drink.

Master Su took out a small bag of Yin Ning Flower Seeds, handed it to Qin Ming and instructed: “I will rent a piece of land near your Spirit Field, and you can Cultivate there then.”

Qin Ming put away the Seed and Agree.

He was Pondering in his Heart, wondering if this First-Rank Yin Ning Flower could brush out an Attribute?
