Golden Core Sect Leader Jin Shengying shook his head slowly, "Forget it! Qin Shidi, learning alchemy is too time-consuming. Since you don't have a foundation, you don't have to spend too much effort in this area. It's impossible to become an alchemy grandmaster without two to three thousand years of hard work. "
Qin Di asked: "May I ask Brother Jin, how many people in our sect can concoct immortal pills?"
Jin Sheng Ying replied, "Besides the two Earthly Immortal Realm experts, there's only me and Junior Brother Zhang amongst the Dao Fusing Realm experts. Besides that, there's another extraordinary pill refinement genius at the peak of the Void Step Realm called Gu Xu Kong, and he's barely capable of refining first-grade immortal pills."
"Senior apprentice-brother, how many Great Dao Pills can you refine in one go? How's the quality? "
"This … I can roughly refine three pills per furnace, half high grade and half medium grade. Why is Qin Shidi asking this? "
Qin Di smiled and asked again, "I want to ask Senior Brother, according to the current situation, how much is the cost of refining a Dao Pill?"
Zhang Shengche interrupted, "If it was a hundred years ago, it would be about fifteen thousand kilograms of crystals. Now, it would probably be fifty thousand kilograms of crystals!"
Qin Di was shocked, "Why is it so expensive?" He auctioned a Dao Pill in the Dreamy Cloud Swamp for only forty to fifty thousand kilograms of crystals, but he didn't expect it to be even more expensive here!
"There's a reason for this. After the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar, it caused the earth veins to shake and caused great losses. The production of all kinds of spirit herbs decreased by more than half, and a few key spirit herbs were sold at sky-high prices, so the disciples below Void Step will suffer in the future! Qin Shidi, why don't you tell us what you think? "
Qin Di pondered for a moment and said, "Senior Brothers, because I just came to Spirited Mountain, I don't show my face in public, so very few people know me. So I want to take over the auction of spirit herbs and pretend to be an itinerant cultivator to compete for spirit herbs, then hand them over to my master Earth Immortal Zhu Xianren to refine. Ancestor Zhu can refine at least five Dao Pills in one furnace! In this way, the cost will be reduced! I promise to provide three Dao Pills every ten years, and the quality will be above supreme grade. The cost will not be higher than forty thousand kilograms of crystals. How about it? "
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
"Qin Shidi, is Ancestor Zhu really that powerful? One cauldron could produce five Immortal Pills? Moreover, they are all of the best quality. That is truly a miracle! "
"Forty thousand catties of essence crystals is really not much! If we can obtain enough Great Dao Pills, then it won't be long before our Four Divine Sect can prosper again! "
Kong Shenglu couldn't help but ask, "Qin Shidi, how can you guarantee that you can get so many Great Dao Pills? Only two or three Fantasy Bird eggs are auctioned off every ten years. Getting one depends on luck! "
Qin Di smiled and said, "Fellow Senior Brothers, I have a sister from the bird race, and she can be considered as a late stage Void Step cultivator now. She's good at dealing with birds, so she might be able to help me get the Fantasy Bird's egg in advance. She might not even need to participate in the auction. Don't forget that the Bird Tribe also needs to advance, but they lack Immortal Alchemists. If we can cooperate with them, won't both sides benefit? "
Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this.
Zhang Shengche, who was sitting next to Qin Di, reached out his hand and patted his shoulder. He laughed and said, "Qin Shidi, I didn't expect you to have this skill! You don't know how to refine pills, nor do you know how to refine weapons, and you're not good at any of the four arts of cultivation. Yet, you're able to combine all kinds of resources to benefit the sect. It's very rare. "
Qin Di also didn't want to reveal too much of his talent. If he could take over the job of concocting pills of the Great Dao, he would have enough spirit crystals. In the future, many cultivators on the Immortal Vast Peak would be able to cultivate smoothly.
In fact, what he said was just an excuse. He originally had 150 complete grotto-heavens, and when he built his own grotto-heavens, he used as much of the materials from the incomplete grotto-heavens as possible. So now, he still had more than 130 complete grotto-heavens, which produced large amounts of spiritual herbs, and he didn't lack any materials for refining Great Dao Pills. This included the Cloud Dream Flower. Before he came to the spiritual mountain, he had already obtained many from Dragon King, and a portion was planted in the grotto-heavens. Not to mention the Fantasy Birds, their flock had already expanded to more than 40 birds. When there were enough years, they would be able to produce even more eggs.
Those Fantasy Birds were all reared at the top of the Immortal Mist Peak, and they were surrounded by a concealment immortal array, so they wouldn't be noticed by outsiders. Otherwise, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.
When everyone heard that he had these ideas and a specific operation plan, they all felt much more relaxed.
The four sect masters discussed for a while and handed the task of collecting spiritual herbs and refining Great Dao Pills to Qin Di. They were also afraid that the cost of 80,000 catties of spirit crystals wasn't enough, so they raised the budget to 100,000 catties!
Jin Shengying reminded, "Qin Shidi, the most important thing now is to get the main ingredients, and you must refine Great Dao Pills. It doesn't matter if the cost is a little more or a little less. In the future, when we have a stable channel, we can talk about reducing the cost. "
Heavenly Talisman Sect Master Luo Shenshu also said, "Our Four Divine Sect has fewer high-level cultivators. This is both a bad thing and a good thing. The bad thing is that we are weak, and the good thing is that we are rich! No matter what, the Four Divine Sect is still one of the nine great orthodox sects. With the foundation laid by our ancestors and the protection of the second-level immortal array, we have a very large territory and rich resources. So, we are not afraid of spending tens of thousands of spirit crystals, as long as we can get Great Dao Pills. "
Grand Evolution Sect Master Yan Shenglun said, "Qin Shidi, you must be careful when you go out! A few days ago, you helped us reclaim our lost territory with your celestial music. Many opponents see you as a thorn in their side, and they want to get rid of you when you walk out of the immortal array! "
Luo Shenshu nodded and looked at Qin Di. "Although your cultivation is not very high, you have become the most important person in our sect. Without you, our territory will be slowly devoured like before."
Everyone spoke up. Some wanted Qin Di to go out as little as possible, while others wanted to give him a few powerful bodyguards. However, it was very difficult to find such bodyguards for a Dao Integration Perfected Cultivator.
Qin Di laughed heartily: "Senior brothers, don't worry about me. I practice the Green Dragon Art, and I'm good at the Divine Dragon Hundred Transformations. If I change my appearance when I go out, I won't be afraid of being assassinated by other sects. "
Zhang Shengche said, "Qin Shidi, don't be careless! Some people had cultivated the All Seeing Eyes and could see through one's true appearance at a glance. Some people had the Prying Mirror Spirit Treasure and could reveal one's true appearance with just a glance! What will you do then? "
Qin Di waved his hand. "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Zhang. I have some ways to protect myself, but it's not convenient for me to say it now. Don't worry, I can escape even if I face an Earth Immortal Patriarch. "
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads to express their doubts.
"Qin Shidi doesn't know how powerful an Earth Immortal is. Even a peak-stage Dao Integration Cultivator would be like an ant trying to shake a tree, let alone an Early-stage Dao Integration Cultivator. It's too terrifying!"
"Yes, if our Four Divine Sect didn't have the protection of the second-level immortal array, we would have been destroyed thousands of times by other sects!"
"Second-level immortal arrays are also considered as treasures unique to our sect, and we never sell them. 99% of the other sects utilize first grade Immortal Formations, and the better sects merely overlap two or three first grade Immortal Formations together. If one were to encounter an Earthly Immortal Realm expert, then it wouldn't even take four to six hours for the expert to break through! "
