Girl, listen to me.
"Wait!"
Ning Li paused and saw that the fluctuations inside the pill furnace were still quite stable. He immediately made up his mind and patted the pill furnace with his palm.
He wanted to continue refining pills!
Ning Li's companions were startled.
After seeing that there were no signs of the furnace exploding, they all walked back and wanted to help Ning Li. However, at this time, they were shocked to find that they couldn't do anything at all.
"Bang bang bang …"
On the scene, only the sound of Ning Li's palm hitting the pill furnace could be heard.
The commotion attracted a lot of attention. Even a cultivator above the Emperor Realm who was guarding the cauldron came to their side. He was worried that the cauldron would explode. His entire body tensed up, ready to save them at any time.
"It's up to you whether you can succeed or not."
At this moment, Qin Yichen left the crowd. He glanced at Ning Li, who was focused on refining pills, and walked towards the office in the hall.
At the counter of the office, a young girl was sitting there. She was holding a yellowed ancient book in one hand, while her other hand was throwing spirit medicines into a pill furnace at the side.
The young girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her jet-black hair hung down like a waterfall, and her large watery eyes seemed to be able to speak as they blinked.
Her facial features were exquisite and flawless. Her skin was as white as a freshly peeled egg. She was an absolute beauty.
At this moment, she seemed to have encountered a difficult problem. Her hands were constantly flipping through the ancient book in her hand. Her brows were slightly furrowed and her small mouth was slightly curled up. She seemed to be a little annoyed, and she looked rather innocent.
"Cough cough …"
Qin Yichen waited for a long time. When he realized that she still hadn't noticed him, he coughed lightly.
Because he coughed, the young girl was startled. The spirit medicine in her hand quivered and fell into the pill furnace.
"Why are you so annoying? Can't you see that I'm concocting medicine?"
The young girl glared at Qin Yichen and angrily reprimanded him.
"I was too rash."
Qin Yichen touched the bridge of his nose.
A pitiful Pill Saint like him was actually reprimanded by a little girl.
"What kind of medicinal pill do you want? Have you prepared the contribution points?"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had admitted his mistake, the young lady harrumphed. Even though she didn't continue berating him, her tone was filled with anger.
"Uh … I'm not here to exchange for pills."
In the Sacred Ground, almost all the medicinal pills could be exchanged for with contribution points. At the same time, alchemists could refine pills that others needed to earn contribution points.
"I want to accept a few missions."
Just as she was about to explode, Qin Yichen pointed at the pieces of paper stuck to the wall behind her.
What was written on the paper were requests to refine pills. The details of the pills required, the grade, and the amount of contribution points one was willing to pay were clearly written on the paper.
Of course, there were also some Alchemists who asked for help. For example, some of the problems in improving pills, or some of the problems in concocting new pills.
"You want a mission?"
Only then did the young girl carefully size him up. "You're an alchemist?"
"Yes."
Qin Yichen took out his alchemist badge and placed it in front of her.
However, as soon as he took it out, he felt awkward.
The reason was that the badge's grade was …
Even though Shen Fanggu had prepared a level five alchemist's robe for him when he was in Shifang Dan Province, Shen Fanggu probably didn't expect him to not change his badge. As a result, Qin Yichen's alchemist badge was still the level one alchemist's badge that he received in the Celestial Kirin Kingdom.
Now, he didn't know where the level five alchemist's robe was. Even if he had the robe and didn't change his badge, it still couldn't prove his identity as a level five alchemist.
After all, no one could be sure that the robe wasn't stolen. However, the badge couldn't be faked.
"You're here to cause trouble, aren't you?"
Looking at the badge in Qin Yichen's hand, the young girl was instantly enraged. Her slender fingers almost pointed at his face.
If he wasn't here to cause trouble, then what was he here for?
A level one alchemist …
Even Qin Yichen didn't know what to say.
"Miss, let me explain. I'm actually not just a level one alchemist. I just didn't change my badge."
Qin Yichen tried his best to explain. However, it didn't seem to be of any use. The young girl looked at him from the corner of her eyes and said unhappily, "What do you mean? Even if you're a level two alchemist, scram to the side and play with mud!"
Qin Yichen's mouth twitched violently. Two streaks of tears appeared in his eyes.
He, the dignified Pill Saint, was actually being looked down upon by a little girl.
She actually asked him, the dignified Pill Saint, to play with mud … No one else could do that.
However, considering his age, Qin Yichen realized that he didn't even have the right to flaunt his seniority in front of this little girl.
This was because he was about the same age as this young girl.
In the end, Qin Yichen had to display his Earth Grade mental strength to resolve the awkwardness.
"Earth Grade mental strength?"
The young girl was clearly stunned. She looked at him with some surprise.
Of course, she was only stunned. She wasn't astonished.
After all, in the Taihao Sacred Ground, there were many people whose mental strength had reached the level of an Earth Grade alchemist at this age. Even Ning Li, who not only reached the level of an Earth Grade alchemist, but also reached the pericelestial level.
With those geniuses around, the young girl naturally wouldn't be moved by his Earth Grade mental strength.
However, the young girl was very surprised. Why did the young man in front of her seem so unfamiliar?
For example, Ning Li and the others had a high level of mental strength. That was because they were chosen to enter the Sacred Ground because of their outstanding talent. Because of that, they had enjoyed the resources of the Sacred Ground from a young age. With the guidance of the Sacred Ground's alchemists, their path was naturally smooth.
However, she had no impression of the young man in front of her.
"I'm a newcomer …"
Qin Yichen touched the bridge of his nose again and revealed his identity.
"A newcomer?"
The young girl's gaze changed. Then, she said seriously, "What level of pill can you refine now? If it's below level six, you can't accept missions …"
Level six pills were suitable for Emperor Stage cultivators.
Although Qin Yichen displayed the spiritual energy of an Earth Grade alchemist, when the young girl looked at him, her face was still full of disbelief.
"Moreover, to accept missions, you have to pawn a certain amount of contribution points. If you fail to refine the pill, the contribution points pawned will be deducted …"
The young girl continued.
Normally, the person who issued the mission would leave behind the required ingredients for the pill. If a mission was accepted and the ingredients were lost because of a failure, the person who accepted the mission would bear the corresponding loss.
It was also because of this rule that even Alchemists would act according to their ability and not blindly accept those alchemy tasks.
In Qin Yichen's opinion, this rule was very reasonable.
If there weren't such rules, there would be some irresponsible alchemists, and sooner or later chaos would ensue.
