In the next few days.
Qin Shujian rarely went to the Alchemy Hall.
There was no other way.
There was too much gossip.
Even someone like Zheng Fang was gossiping, let alone others.
There was nothing he could do about it.
Who asked him to not go to the Alchemy Hall usually? During this period of time, he kept going to the Alchemy Hall. It was hard for people not to notice him.
Other than avoiding suspicion.
The other reason why Qin Shujian did not go to the Alchemy Hall was because he seemed to have returned to normal.
At least, it was not like before, when he saw a man, he would feel that he was handsome.
Since then.
Qin Shujian stayed in the forbidden area and cultivated silently.
Although the cultivation of a celestial being would be very slow in the future, no matter how slow it was, it could still accumulate. Every little bit counted.
One would not be able to travel a thousand miles without taking a few steps.
That was probably the reason.
However …
Qin Shujian did not blindly go into seclusion.
Every day, he would take some time out to take a walk to ease his mood.
"It's really easy to indulge in comfortable days."
Qin Shujian looked at the clouds in the sky. He actually had a trace of nostalgia for his current life.
But soon.
This trace of nostalgia was cut off by him.
It was fine to rest occasionally, but if he did not go down, it would be his death.
In terms of fear of death.
Qin Shujian believed that he should be able to rank in the top three of the sect.
He had done so many things because he wanted to live longer.
As long as he kept increasing his strength.
Regardless of whether it was the players, demons, or the three continents, they could only stay by the side.
But if he was not strong enough.
Then many things would become troublesome.
Thinking of this, Qin Shujian sighed again: "Strength, strength, how can it be so easy to increase one's strength? The celestial being is just the beginning, the supreme being, and even the immortals.
Now, every step is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
"Ten levels of the celestial being, every step is like ascending to the heavens. That's probably it!"
Sometimes, he thought about it too.
If he was very weak and did not know many things, would he not have to think so much?
In the end.
Qin Shujian still abandoned this idea.
Because this idea was complete nonsense.
Perhaps those who were weak didn't need to think so much, but at the same time, they died without knowing why.
In the end.
Only when one's fist was big enough and hard enough would one have the right to speak.
At this moment.
The Communication Jade Amulet in his storage ring rang. Qin Shujian took it out and read the message.
Soon after, he turned around and left.
Inside the Inherited Martial Hall.
Yin Bancheng and Fang Xinglan sat on the left and right.
Sitting in the main seat was Qin Shujian.
Seeing each other, Yin Bancheng and Fang Xinglan were also very surprised.
Both of them thought that they were the only ones who had made a deal with Yuan Zong for the Revival Fortune Pill.
But now it seemed that …
However, it was not a family matter.
Both of their expressions were a little unsightly at this.
Neither Yin Bancheng nor Fang Xinglan knew how many Revival Pills Qin Shujian had refined this time.
If there was only one, then the two families would have to fight for it.
In other words …
Originally, they only needed to pay the normal price. Now, it might even be doubled.
Therefore, when Qin Shujian appeared, Yin Bancheng said first, "Sect Master Qin, I immediately rushed over after receiving your message. I heard that the Revival Fortune Pill has been successfully refined. Is that true?"
"That's right. Sect Master Qin, you and I had a promise earlier. If the Revival Fortune Pill is refined, there will definitely be one for the Heavenly Array Sect."
Fang Xinglan immediately followed up.
Hearing that …
Yin Bancheng's face darkened even more.
What did he mean?
He wanted to take the lead in snatching the Revival Fortune Pill.
Just as Yin Bancheng was about to say something, Qin Shujian stopped the two of them and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, the Revival Fortune Pill is naturally refined. However, Elder Fang, there is one thing that you must not be mistaken about.
The Heavenly Array Sect will have a share of the Revival Fortune Pill, but the prerequisite is that the Heavenly Array Sect must be able to pay this price.
Otherwise, I have no other choice. "
Fang Xinglan's eyes flickered, and he replied with a normal expression, "What Sect Master Qin said is reasonable. Of course, we have to compete for the Spirit Pill with financial resources."
"…"
Yin Bancheng wanted to laugh, but he suddenly stopped himself from laughing.
Because he realized …
If it was a competition with financial resources, it seemed that he might not be able to win against Fang Xinglan.
One was a top sect.
The other was a large sect.
In comparison, the Traceless Sect was innately weaker.
Not to mention that the Heavenly Array Sect controlled the cultivation world of the Fallen Moon Mansion. He could not guess how many resources they had.
Thinking that the possibility of him competing for the Revival Fortune Pill was not high …
Yin Bancheng was a little anxious at this time.
It would be fine if he didn't know about the existence of the Revival Fortune Pill. Whether he could break through to the Diviner Realm or not depended on his own luck.
But now that he knew about the existence of the Revival Fortune Pill, great hope was reignited in him.
If his hope was shattered at this time, it would be worse than killing him.
"May I ask Sect Master Qin, how many Revival Fortune Pills have been refined this time?"
"Elder Yin, don't worry. The Traceless Sect and the Heavenly Array Sect only need one Revival Fortune Pill each. I can satisfy this."
Qin Shujian's words dispelled the concerns in Yin Bancheng's heart.
Yes.
That was to say, there were at least two Revival Fortune Pills.
Hearing this sentence.
The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Especially Yin Bancheng.
He didn't have the confidence to compete with the Heavenly Array Sect. Now that he didn't have to compete, it was naturally the best.
As for Fang Xinglan.
He had similar thoughts at this time.
Although he was not afraid of the Traceless Sect, one more sect competing was equivalent to one more loss.
The Heavenly Array Sect was not rich now, so it was better to save as much as possible.
Thinking of this.
Fang Xinglan's gaze fell on Qin Shujian again, and he asked, "Sect Master Qin, how can you take out the Revival Fortune Pill?"
"I won't say too much. One hundred Spirit Stones. Whoever can take out one hundred Spirit Stones can take away the Revival Fortune Pill."
Qin Shujian stretched out a finger and said with a smile.
After saying this.
Fang Xinglan and Yin Bancheng's expressions changed. Even if they had expected it, they were still stunned by Qin Shujian's words.
One hundred Spirit Stones!
One must know that the market price of one Spirit Stone was ten million, so one hundred Spirit Stones was equivalent to one billion. However, it was not sold at this price at all. Even if it was three or four times higher, it might not be possible to buy it.
In other words.
One hundred Spirit Stones was at least three or four billion.
And it might not be possible to have it.
This price made Yin Bancheng's expression change, and also made Fang Xinglan's expression change.
Especially the Traceless Sect.
One hundred Spirit Stones. Even if they sold everything, they might not be able to gather it.
So.
When Qin Shujian finished speaking, Yin Bancheng said involuntarily, "Sect Master Qin, one hundred Spirit Stones is too high. I wonder if it can be exchanged for something else!"
"The Revival Fortune Pill is extremely difficult to refine. It is a top ninth-level spirit pill. It can go against the natural order and allow people whose Qi and blood have declined to return to their former peak. There is hope for them to break through to the Celestial Being Realm."
Qin Shujian shook his head and said solemnly.
"To be honest, one hundred Spirit Stones in exchange for a chance to break through to the Celestial Being Realm is really not a high price. If I sell these pills to the imperial court, the imperial court will send the Spirit Stones over without hesitation.
You can think about it carefully. If the Traceless Sect and the Heavenly Array Sect have one more Celestial Being, the foundation of their sects will definitely increase greatly.
One hundred Spirit Stones may seem a lot, but a sect with a Celestial Being in charge will not be afraid of a mere one hundred Spirit Stones. In the future, when the territory grows, we can kill our way in and snatch it. That's about the same price. "
At this point.
Qin Shujian paused for a moment and continued, "One year later, no, there is less than a year now. Soon, the Human Emperor will break the restriction of heaven and earth and connect the three continents.
Even the Human Emperor covets the three continents. Although they may not be full of resources, they will definitely not be lacking.
At that time, only the Celestial Beings will be qualified to intervene and divide the resources of the three continents.
The Eastern Continent is already so rich in resources. I don't need to say much about the other three continents. You should be able to imagine it. "
"To be honest, if it weren't for my friendship with the two of you, I wouldn't necessarily sell the Cultivation Pills at such a low price."
Qin Shujian spoke passionately.
Fang Xinglan and Yin Bancheng fell into dead silence.
One hundred Spirit Stones were not a lot? And he was selling it at a low price?
To be honest.
If it weren't for the fact that their strength didn't allow them to, they would have beaten Qin Shujian up.
However, the other party was right.
If they didn't want it and Qin Shujian sold it to the imperial court, the imperial court would probably want it.
After all, one hundred Spirit Stones could buy a Celestial Being.
In the long run, this deal would actually be a huge profit.
The key was that the imperial court had a lot of resources. Even if the breakthrough failed, they would only lose a hundred Spirit Stones, which was not a big problem.
But the problem was …
The Heavenly Array Sect and the Traceless Sect were not comparable to the imperial court at all.
A hundred Spirit Stones would be considered a minor injury to his bones. That would be the equivalent of selling iron pots and pans.
It would be fine if the success rate was 100%.
However, one Cultivation Pill was just a chance to break through. If it failed, it would be a double loss.
However, Qin Shujian mentioned the three continents, which made the two of them hesitate.
One year later, the heaven and earth restriction would be broken.
Needless to say, it would definitely be an earth-shattering battle that would affect the entire Human Clan.
At that time …
If one wasn't a Celestial Being, he wouldn't be qualified to intervene.
If a Celestial Being were to enter such a battle that would affect the Human Clan, he would definitely die.
After all, during the Battle of the Imperial City, countless Divine Martial cultivators had fallen. Even many Saints and Almighties had died.
That time …
It was just an internal conflict of the Human Clan.
After thinking about it …
Fang Xinglan gritted his teeth, nodded, and said, "One hundred Spirit Stones is fine, but Sect Master Qin needs to give me some time. I'll send the hundred Spirit Stones to your sect in half a year at most."
Unlike Yin Bancheng …
If he had the Cultivation Pill, the success rate of breaking through would be 70%.
Although there was still a 30% chance of failure …
However, for Fang Xinglan, the latter 30% was negligible.
Because no one would have a 100% chance of breaking through to the Celestial Being Realm. 70% was not the highest, but it was close.
Hearing this, Qin Shujian hesitated. "Half a year seems a bit long!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Fang Xinglan again as if he had made a great decision.
"However, on account of my friendship with Elder Fang, half a year is fine. However, if I give it again in half a year, it won't be one hundred Spirit Stones, but one hundred and five Spirit Stones. The extra five Spirit Stones will be counted as interest.
After all, one hundred Spirit Stones can do a lot of things in half a year. Elder Fang won't let me suffer a loss, right? "
Fang Xinglan's face was dark.
Five Spirit Stones in half a year's time.
What kind of loan shark was this?
Even loan sharks wouldn't be so excessive.
Moreover, how could one hundred Spirit Stones generate a profit of five Spirit Stones in half a year's time? Did they really think that Spirit Stones were cabbages that could be easily produced?
Suppressing the urge to beat someone up, Fang Xinglan's voice was a little cold. "Five Spirit Stones is a little too much. The Heavenly Array Sect can at most pay another two Spirit Stones in interest."
"That's fine. Since we're good friends, I'll give you two pills, then."
Qin Shujian waved his hand generously and settled this matter.
Earning two Spirit Stones in half a year's time was not a bad thing.
If it was possible.
He also wanted to ask Fang Xinglan if he could give it to him later. At most, he would add a few more Spirit Stones.
However, looking at Fang Xinglan's expression …
Qin Shujian still didn't say this out loud.
Obviously, taking out so many Spirit Stones was not the limit of the Heavenly Array Sect, but it was not too far from it.
In addition, he also hoped that Fang Xinglan could successfully break through. At that time, the two sects would form an alliance to deal with the matter of the three continents, and Fang Xinglan would not be alone and helpless.
If the Traceless Sect could also break through, it would be even better.
While thinking, Qin Shujian's gaze fell on Yin Bancheng as he spoke slowly.
"Elder Yin, if you really can't take out so many Spirit Stones in a short period of time, you might as well consider paying in installments. I also have some detailed payment procedures here …"
"No need, thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Qin."
Yin Bancheng immediately refused.
What a joke, paying in installments?
Needless to say, the interest involved would definitely be frighteningly high.
When that time came …
Perhaps after he broke through to the Heavenly Realm, he would have to work for the other party for free.
If the breakthrough failed, it would be a problem whether the Traceless Sect could repay this debt in the next thousand years.
At that time, if the Traceless Sect was annexed by Fang Xinglan because of this, he would not be able to die in peace.
"Like the Heavenly Array Sect, the Traceless Sect will send the same amount of Spirit Stones to your sect in half a year at most."
After thinking about it, Yin Bancheng still made the same choice as Fang Xinglan.
There was no other way.
The Traceless Sect was really poor.
Even the Heavenly Array Sect had to postpone it, let alone him.
If the situation allowed, Yin Bancheng still hoped to postpone it a little longer, but in the situation just now, he directly extinguished the thought in his heart.
Hearing this.
Qin Shujian looked a little regretful, but it soon disappeared. Then, he took out two jade bottles from his storage ring and sent them to the two of them with his Divine Sense.
Seeing this, the two of them reached out and took it.
"There is a Creation Pill in each jade bottle, but be careful when you open it. Don't let the pill run away. Let me make it clear in advance, if the pill runs away by itself, I won't compensate you."
Qin Shujian reminded them.
The pill ran away?
No way!
Fang Xinglan held the jade bottle with one hand and could feel the sealing array on it, as well as the faint vibration coming from the bottle, as if an expert was shaking the jade bottle.
"As expected of the Creation Pill, it's really shocking."
Seeing this, he did not have the slightest doubt.
Only this kind of top-grade pill had such strength.
Once a pill was formed, its strength was equivalent to that of a strong cultivator.
On the other side, Yin Bancheng also held the jade bottle in his hand.
He was not an array master and did not understand the sealing array on the jade bottle, but he could still sense the sealing power.
Qin Shujian said, "The jade bottle is a spiritual weapon that I personally refined. I'll give it to you as a gift."
"… Okay."
Fang Xinglan and Yin Bancheng looked at each other, nodded, and replied with a simple "okay".
You want us to thank you for a spiritual weapon jade bottle?
Thinking of the two Spirit Stones that they had been cheated of, they had no desire to speak.
Putting away the jade bottle, Fang Xinglan got up first, cupped his hands, and said, "Now that I have the Creation Pill, I have to go back and prepare for the breakthrough. I won't stay any longer. After I break through to the Heavenly Realm, I'll come and discuss with Sect Master Qin."
After that.
He also cupped his hands towards Yin Bancheng, then turned and left.
As for Yin Bancheng, he wanted to leave too.
However, Fang Xinglan's last sentence caused him to have other thoughts.
Discuss?
Discuss what?
Did the Origin Sect and the Heavenly Array Sect have some agreement?
For a moment.
Many thoughts surged in Yin Bancheng's mind.
However, he did not think too much about it. The most important thing now was to break through to the Heavenly Realm. As for other things, they could be put aside for later.
"Sect Master Qin, I have to leave too. After I break through to the Heavenly Realm, I'll definitely come and thank you."
"Elder Yin, take care."
"Goodbye."
Yin Bancheng also left the Inherited Martial Hall.
The hall that originally had three people was now left with only one person.
"204 Spirit Stones. It's not a loss." Qin Shujian rubbed his chin with a smile on his face.
Although the Creation Pill was a top-grade spirit pill that could give them a chance to break through to the Heavenly Realm.
But seriously speaking, the effect of this pill was very simple.
It reversed the congenital state and restored the dormant Qi and blood to the peak state.
For people like Yin Bancheng and Fang Xinglan, it was not that they could not break through to the Heavenly Realm, but because of the limitation of Qi and blood, the probability of them breaking through to the Heavenly Realm was extremely low.
Only after taking the Creation Pill could the probability of success increase.
But for those cultivators with vigorous Qi and blood, they did not need the Creation Pill at all to break through to the Heavenly Realm.
In this way.
The Creation Pill was very important in the eyes of some, but in the eyes of others, it was dispensable.
In addition, although the refining materials were precious, the cost of refining one set of materials was about 20 Spirit Stones.
And Qin Shujian used a total of two sets of materials to refine the Creation Pill this time.
In other words.
He used the cost of 40 Spirit Stones to earn more than 200 Spirit Stones. The remaining two Creation Pills in his hands were also about the same price.
In this way, without taking into account the cost, the profit directly increased by ten times.
"Damn, refining pills is really a huge profit!"
He did not know before calculating, but after calculating, Qin Shujian was shocked.
He already knew that refining pills was very profitable.
But at that time, he only earned a small amount of money from refining pills, so he did not seriously calculate how much the profit was.
But it was different now.
The cost of refining the Creation Pill was high to begin with. One set of materials cost 20 Spirit Stones.
But the profit was ten times the cost.
If that was the case, it was very scary.
"No, if that's the case, the other alchemists have made a fortune."
Qin Shujian shook his head again, overturning his previous guess.
The other alchemists, even if they were Alchemy Grandmasters, had a high probability of failure.
To refine a furnace of Creation Pills, they might have to fail three or four times, and there might not be as many as two pills in one furnace.
After calculating seriously.
Although there was still profit from refining pills, it was not as exaggerated as ten times.
However —
Qin Shujian was different.
He was originally at the peak of a certain level of Alchemy Grandmasters, and now after another upgrade, he had completed a new transformation.
Although there was no manifestation yet.
Qin Shujian was sure that his success rate of refining a level nine pill was not comparable to that of other Alchemy Grandmasters.
The failure rate was low.
The success rate was high, and the number of pills produced was also high.
The profit he made was naturally not comparable to that of other Alchemy Grandmasters.
Thinking of this, Qin Shujian muttered to himself, "Why don't I just refine pills in the sect? With such high profits, if I refine pills in peace to exchange for Spirit Stones, maybe my cultivation will be faster."
At this moment, he really had this idea.
He didn't calculate carefully before, so he didn't know that refining pills was so profitable.
Now that he knew, he was really tempted.
After a long time.
Qin Shujian calmed down, shook his head, and said, "After all, refining pills for a long time is not a solution. Without fighting, it would be embarrassing if I stayed for a long time and was killed by someone of a higher level.
In addition, the alchemy materials for level nine pill recipes are not easy to collect. Now that I already need so many Spirit Stones for one cultivation, I will definitely need more in the future.
At that time, the Spirit Stones I earn from refining pills may not be as fast as the Spirit Qi I breathe.
But occasionally refining some pills and selling them is really a way. At least in a short time, it can solve the crisis of Spirit Stones. "
After knowing the benefits of refining pills.
He couldn't give up this lucrative industry.
He still had to earn money.
No matter where, without money, many things couldn't work.
At the same time.
Qin Shujian's idea of recruiting Alchemists became more and more urgent.
The more high-level Alchemists there were in the sect, the more profits they could generate for the sect.
In the past, he couldn't recruit Alchemists, and he thought it was because there were few Alchemists.
Now it seemed.
It was clear that those sects firmly controlled the Alchemists in their hands and wouldn't let these money trees go. This was the reason why he couldn't recruit any high-level Alchemists.
After all, to make money, only Alchemists of upper grade and higher level could do it.
Like those low-grade and middle-grade Alchemists, the probability of failure was far higher than the probability of success.
Every time they refined pills.
They would lose a lot of money.
This was also the reason why many sects went bankrupt unknowingly when training Alchemists.
Because the cost was too high.
It was true that high-level Alchemists made money, but before becoming a high-level Alchemist, they had to spend money.
If they could break through to the upper grade, it was naturally not a loss.
But if the breakthrough failed, they would lose everything.
