Chapter 390: No Way To Obtain The Medicine, Star Sea Divine Vine

Great Jin, Dragon Court Lake, Central Continent, Su Clan.

After the Luo Clan’s group suffered a setback in the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace, they came here without stopping.

Since the other party’s price was too high, they could only try their luck here.

Perhaps, things would take a turn.

“Humph! That Hua Tianxiong, and that Shopkeeper Lu, are too greedy!”

“In my opinion, they want to take this opportunity to fleece us, and they actually need Fourth-Rank Spirit Materials to trade.”

“Do they really think this Young Master is a fool?”

Luo Chen, changing his previous sickly appearance, sat inside the Magic Boat and spoke with extreme resentment.

“Err, Young Master, in fact, we aren’t unable to produce Fourth-Rank Spirit Materials.”

“But once we do this, if the news leaks out, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.”

“If it attracts the attention of the Great Li Demonic Path, it won’t be worth the price!”

“And those Demon Cultivators from the Blood Refining Demon Sect who descended.”

Elder Luo Xi, at this moment, changed his way of addressing Luo Chen, and his tone was full of respect, obviously, the two were not in a father and son relationship.

Instead, it was somewhat like the communication between master and servant.

“Mm, let’s see first.”

“If it really doesn’t work, then think of other Methods.”

“This Matter absolutely cannot be delayed any longer, you understand.”

Luo Chen pondered for a moment and said with a serious expression.

“Yes, Young Master.” Luo Xi replied.

But when they controlled the Magic Boat and arrived in front of the Su Clan’s Sect Gate, they were completely shocked by the scene before their eyes.

It truly let the people of the Luo Clan witness what was called ‘a bustling scene’!

Only to see in front of the Su Clan’s Main Gate, the world’s gentry and wealthy families who came to Visit and Seeking Pills, and descendants of various Sects, were in an endless stream, and there were even some Big Shots whose reputations were prominent in the Cultivation World.

Compared to this, the mere Great Zhou Luo Clan could only be considered a middle-to-lower-class Power.

Luo Chen and Luo Xi, upon seeing this Scene, immediately felt their hearts turn cold.

Luo Chen was secretly suffering in his heart.

When would it be before he could see the Grandmaster Alchemist Su in the Legend?

And so.

He had Elder Luo Xi find an opportunity to secretly give a large sum of Spirit Stones to one of the stewards, to let them accommodate and Report.

The Old Butler also encountered such a generous Cultivator for the first time; having taken the money, they happily went inside to Report.

After all, it was just to pass a message. Anyway, as long as the message was delivered, whether Young Master Su saw them or not, that was none of their business.

Inside Su Yuqing’s Study.

Spirit Incense was swirling, and it was still the Third Rank Soul Cleansing Incense that Qin Ming had given him.

Strands of Aura filled the room, immersing people’s Spirits in a state of tranquility.

Su Yuqing, wearing white clothes, was holding an ancient Book and studying it.

Just then.

Outside the Door, came the Old Butler’s respectful Report:

“Young Master Su, among the Visiting Cultivators outside, there is a ‘Luo Clan’ from the Great Zhou Golden Core Clan who have brought people to seek an audience, saying they have come to seek Pills.”

“And the people of the Luo Clan said they are willing to offer any Conditions.”

“Their words are sincere; it seems they have a Major Event. Do you think… whether we should meet them?”

Su Yuqing, upon hearing this, put down the Book in his hand and muttered in surprise: “They actually came to my Door?”

“I don’t know what tricks Qin Ming is up to again.”

“But since he greeted me, it’s only right to.”

And so, he directly said to the Butler outside: “Let the people of the Luo Clan go back, and tell them that my Alchemy appointment quota for this year is already full.”

“Ah? This…” The Old Butler was also helpless upon hearing this.

Young Master Su clearly either engaged in Burning Incense and Brewing Tea every day or played with Flowers and Plants; how could he have any appointments?

However, he did not dare to Defy Su Yuqing’s words and could only do as he was told.

“Yes! Young Master Su!”

A Moment later.

The Su Clan’s Butler returned to the Sect Gate, found the people of the Luo Clan, and said with some Embarrassment: “Senior Luo, my Young Master says that the Alchemy appointment for this year is already full.”

“And temporarily unable to cut in line and accept Alchemy commissions again; you might as well go to Other Places to take a look, right?”

“So as not to delay your Major Event.”

Luo Chen and Luo Xi, who had been waiting outside with trepidation, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Unexpectedly, they received this Result.

“Steward Su, can you have Grandmaster Su make an exception again?”

“Our Luo Clan can afford any Price.”

“If this Matter can be accomplished, our Great Zhou Luo Clan will owe Grandmaster Su a huge Favor.”

“In the Future, if there is a Dispatch, we will Agree without fail!”

Elder Luo Xi still wanted to try again, feeling somewhat unwilling.

The Old Butler still sighed and said: “Senior Luo, you should still leave, I have tried, and Young Master Su really doesn’t have the Time.”

“I’m afraid I’ll have to refuse your Good Will.”

Luo Chen’s Eyes looked at the inside of the Su Clan from afar, and he could only clench his teeth and say to Luo Xi: “We go.”

The two’s Complexion was extremely ugly, and they left this Place in a dejected manner.

They had come to Great Jin from Myriad Miles away and repeatedly encountered setbacks, and anyone would be in a bad Mood.

On the Magic Boat, Luo Chen’s Tone was somewhat depressed.

“What to do? Time is pressing, I didn’t expect this Nine Yang Soul-Mending Pill to be so difficult to obtain.”

Elder Luo Xi pondered for a moment and said slowly:

“Young Master, how about this, there isn’t only the Nine Yang Soul-Mending Pill as a Method to treat the Spirit.”

“Other Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures are also possible, it’s just that the Effect isn’t as good as the Nine Yang Soul-Mending Pill.”

“We can only settle for the second best.”

“We can secretly Pay Attention to whether such Spirit Items appear in the Marketplaces of the major Immortal Cities.”

“If it really doesn’t work in the end… even if we suffer some losses, and take more Risk, we can only ask the Mirror Snow Pavilion to come forward.”

“Alas, I don’t know why that Shopkeeper Lu has so much Face, but it’s not possible for us to Visit Master Su?”

Luo Chen nodded slowly upon hearing this.

……

……

Several Days Later.

Hua Tianxiong’s News arrived, and he entered the hall with a wicked smile and Reported to Qin Ming:

“Hehehe! Master, Grandmaster Su sent back News, the people of the Luo Clan really came to seek Alchemy from them, but Master Su has already Refused.”

“It is said that the people of the Luo Clan, unable to obtain Alchemy, are searching for Spirit Materials everywhere in the Marketplaces of the major Immortal Cities, as if they are not giving up.”

Hua Tianxiong was filled with Admiration for Qin Ming, as if he had already predicted the Luo Clan’s actions.

“Mm, wait for them to find you again, and then we will see.”

Qin Ming nodded, and he estimated that it wouldn’t be long before the people of the Luo Clan would have to come back to him.

“Yes! Master!” Hua Tianxiong respectfully replied, “If there is nothing else, I won’t bother you anymore, I will leave first.”

“If you need anything here, just Order me.”

Qin Ming immediately stopped him and took a List from the table and handed it to Hua Tianxiong, “You help me Collect these Spirit Herbs and Spirit Materials listed above.”

“Yes!” Hua Tianxiong took the List and looked at it, and there were dozens of Spirit Materials recorded densely on it.

He asked with some hesitation: “Master, are the Spirit Materials recorded above the required materials for Refining the Nine Yang Soul-Mending Pill?”

“That’s right, I already have a portion of the Spirit Materials, and what I’m asking you to Collect are the remaining Auxiliary Materials, which shouldn’t be difficult to obtain.” Qin Ming said faintly.

Upon hearing this, Hua Tianxiong knew that Qin Ming wanted to personally refine the Nine Yang Soul-Mending Pill.

He knew Qin Ming’s Alchemy Attainment, which had Reached Perfection, and was not much worse than Grandmaster Su Yuqing.

Immediately, he didn’t ask any more and went to the Marketplace to Acquire the Materials.

During this free Time.

Qin Ming left the Courtyard and went to the Mirror Snow Pavilion’s Branch in the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace.

Old Jia was at the front desk, clacking the Abacus and checking the accounts, and saw ‘Shopkeeper Lu’ coming in.

He quickly put down the work in his hands and greeted him with a Smile.

“Shopkeeper Lu, have you finished with your Spirit Field Matters?”

“Lü’e, quickly brew a pot of High-Grade Spirit Tea for Shopkeeper Lu?”

“Forget it, I’ll do it myself.”

Old Jia was quick-handed, and after welcoming Qin Ming into the Elegant Room on the fourth floor, he brewed a pot of Spirit Tea for him and ordered someone to arrange some Spirit Fruit and food.

“Old Jia, how is business in the shop recently?”

Qin Ming sipped the Spirit Tea and put down the Teacup and asked faintly.

“Hehehe! Thanks to you, this quarter’s revenue has increased a lot compared to before.” Old Jia quickly handed the Account Book to Qin Ming to check.

Qin Ming just casually flipped through it and nodded Satisfiedly, “Mm, not bad.”

“I believe that at the end of this year, Pavilion Master Gu will Reward you again.”

“This Old Man’s Ability isn’t worth mentioning at all; if it weren’t for you, Shopkeeper Lu, how could our Mirror Snow Pavilion have the Influence in Great Jin that it has now?”

“Shopkeeper Lu is the one with the Indispensable Contribution.”

Old Jia replied very sensibly, but what he said was also the Fact.

If Qin Ming hadn’t taken down the Five Elements Mountain Spirit Field, planted all kinds of Spirit Rice, and refined the unique Third Rank Soul Cleansing Incense, creating a Reputation.

Mirror Snow Pavilion would probably still be groping around in the Remote Corner of the Lingxu Marketplace.

“Mm, let’s not talk about that.”

“By the way, in these Few Days, have there been any Major Events in the Marketplace?” Qin Ming then asked.

Old Jia recalled for a while, and was about to shake his head, but his Eyes suddenly brightened:

“If Shopkeeper Lu hadn’t asked, I almost forgot about this Matter.”

“There is indeed one thing that has been a hot topic in the Five Elements Mountain Marketplace recently.”

“Oh? What is it?” Qin Ming asked in puzzlement.

Old Jia explained: “I heard that the Myriad Dao Merchant Alliance recently wants to organize an Auction, and someone commissioned the Merchant Alliance to auction a section of the Star Sea Divine Vine.”

“And the Age and Grade are not low.”

“There are many Cultivators coming by Reputation, and I estimate they are all for this Item.”

“The Star Sea Divine Vine, one of the Five Divine Woods in the Cultivation World?”

“Is the News reliable?” Qin Ming put down the Teacup in his hand and couldn’t help but be surprised.

However, this made him smell an Eerie Aura.

Because the greatest Effect of this Star Sea Divine Vine, is similar to that of the Soul-Nurturing Wood, which has the Effect of strengthening and repairing the Soul.

Combining the people of the Luo Clan, who have recently been searching for Medicines to treat the Soul.

Qin Ming even suspected that someone was secretly setting a trap, using the Star Sea Divine Vine for Fishing, to lure someone in.

Old Jia seemed to see that Qin Ming was quite interested in this Legend Star Sea Divine Vine, so he cautiously opened his mouth and asked:

“Does the Shopkeeper have his Eyes on the Star Sea Divine Vine? If that’s the case, our Mirror Snow Pavilion can also participate in the Auction; after all, the funds on the books of each shop are very sufficient recently.”

“The News from the Myriad Dao Merchant Alliance, naturally, has no problems.”

“If you need it, I will bid it back for you.”

Qin Ming shook his head upon hearing this: “I don’t know what the situation is yet, so don’t act rashly first, and just wait and see.”

“When will the Auction start?”

“The Myriad Dao Merchant Alliance has set the Day on the fifteenth of next month.” Old Jia replied.

“Alright, I understand, you go and get busy.”

Qin Ming raised his hand and waved Old Jia away, and began to Ponder alone.

……

Half Month Later.

Hua Tianxiong had Collected all the Spirit Materials on the List and handed them to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming then took some Time to flip through the Pill Recipe of the Nine Yang Soul-Mending Pill several times, and then began to refine it in the Courtyard.

This Pill Recipe, which was recorded in the 《Source Dao Pill Scripture》 given to him by Su Yuqing, and also described the Alchemy steps and Experience in great detail.

Obviously, Su Yuqing had refined it more than once.

Refining this Pill wasn’t difficult for Qin Ming at all.

It was much simpler than the Divine Wood Pill.

Only three Days Later.

A Rich Unusual Fragrance came out of Hua Tianxiong’s Courtyard, accompanied by the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon when High-Grade Pills form.

However, they were all Concealed and Isolated by the High-Grade Formation Restrictions arranged in the Courtyard.

Inside the Room, Qin Ming gestured towards the Third Stage Upper Grade Wind and Thunder Cauldron, and three Spirit Pills, which were emitting five-colored Light, fell into his hands.

Hua Tianxiong was watching from the side with wide eyes, and he witnessed the Process of Qin Ming’s Alchemy just now.

It could be said that it was incredibly smooth, and flowing like water.

It really opened his Eyes.

When he went to the Li Fire Palace to Handle Affairs for Elder Qian, he also had the honor of witnessing a Third Rank Grandmaster Alchemist of a Nascent Soul Sect refine Pills.

But compared to Qin Ming, it was simply a small fish compared to a big one.
