"This is the Stone River Pill Sect?" Ning Qi stood on the bluestone steps and looked into the distance. Thirty miles away, there was a giant gate with a plaque hanging on it that said Stone River Pill Sect. Ying Zhenxuan had told Ning Qi that this place was the most famous pill refining sacred ground in Ying Zhou. Alchemists from all over Ying Zhou would often come here to do business.
Alchemists from all over Ying Zhou would often come here to compete.
"It's a pity that the Yuan Family only has 2.5 million intermediate grade immortal stones after dominating Taisui Lane for so many years. If I had more, I could just buy it with immortal stones."
Ning Qi did not plan to put all his eggs in one basket. After some consideration, he decided to use immortal stones to purchase the Ancient Devil's Poison from the Shang Qing Treasure Pavilion. He would then use the Tier 2 Earth Spiritual Pill to trade for the Ancient Devil's Poison at the Stone River Pill Sect.
This was the safest way.
"Eh? You're here to be a disciple too?"
A group of young men appeared behind Ning Qi. One of them looked at Ning Qi curiously.
Their bodies gave off auras ranging from early Human Immortal to late Human Immortal. So, when they sensed that Ning Qi was in the Great Circle of the Human Immortal Stage, other than the person who asked the question, everyone else revealed a hint of vigilance in their eyes, treating Ning Qi as a potential opponent. The Stone River Pill Sect was too famous, and the status of alchemists was a level higher than that of ordinary Immortals. Therefore, some people who didn't have good cultivation aptitude set becoming alchemists as their lifelong goal. An existence like the Stone River Pill Sect would have many Immortals coming to take them as their master every year.
However, there were less than one in a thousand that could become an alchemist.
"Nope."
Ning Qi smiled and walked towards the mountain gate of the Stone River Pill Sect.
"Not here to be a disciple?"
"Ignore him. I heard that there are three alchemy grandmasters coming to the Stone River Pill Sect. If we can make it in time, we might have a chance to be their disciples!"
"Pfft, stop dreaming. With our potential, we might not even be able to become an outer disciple of the Stone River Pill Sect!"
"There's no stopping the opportunity. How do you know that I can't be a disciple of the three alchemy grandmasters?"
The group of young immortals quickly overtook Ning Qi and rushed towards the Stone River Pill Sect's mountain gate. Even though Ning Qi said he wasn't here to become a disciple, they were still afraid that Ning Qi would beat them to it.
Such existences could be seen almost everywhere. When Ning Qi arrived at the entrance of the mountain, he was blocked by a large group of people who had come to be his disciples.
"I've already said it very clearly. Today, there are three esteemed guests competing with the elders in the sect. Please return. If you want to be apprenticed, come back next time."
A young man exuding the aura of a perfected Human Immortal blocked the entrance with a frown.
"Senior Brother, we've traveled thousands of miles to come here. Please let us in. As long as the Elder says that we don't have the talent for alchemy, we'll turn around and leave!"
"Yeah! It wasn't easy for us to come here! Everyone says that the Stone River Pill Sect is the holy land of alchemy. Senior Brother, please allow us to enter and admire it! "
"Sigh! Don't cut the queue! "
"What are you doing!"
"Don't you know it's a queue?" The crowd at the entrance of the Stone River Pill Sect was in an uproar. Everyone glared at Ning Qi. Ning Qi casually waved his hand and the people in front of him fell to the side. Soon, Ning Qi came to the front and smiled at the disciple. "I'm not here to be apprenticed.
I'm not here to be apprenticed. "
"Oh? You're not here to be apprenticed? What's the matter? "
The disciple's eyes were filled with confusion.
"I'm acquainted with Senior Sister Xiang Yan. May I know if she's in the sect?"
Ning Qi smiled.
Xiang Yan, an inner sect disciple of the Stone River Pill Sect. She was a good friend of Ying Zhenxuan. When Ying Zhenxuan came to the Stone River Pill Sect to exchange for alchemy materials, she was the middleman.
When the disciple heard Xiang Yan's name, his eyes flashed with surprise. He sized up Ning Qi. Seeing that Ning Qi was only a perfected Human Immortal, he was a little suspicious.
"Senior Sister Xiang Yan is an inner sect disciple of our Stone River Pill Sect. Do you really know her?" The disciple's tone was still filled with disbelief. In his opinion, Xiang Yan's friends should be inner sect disciples of large sects. The person in front of him had sallow skin and didn't look young. Moreover, he was dressed in ordinary green clothes and didn't look like a sect disciple. He was just an independent cultivator.
How could someone like that be acquainted with an inner sect disciple of the Stone River Pill Sect?
"Of course. If you don't believe me, you can take me to see senior sister Xiang Yan."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Alright, follow me."
The disciple nodded and let Ning Qi in. He then ordered a few outer sect disciples to stop the people outside.
"Why can he go in but we can't!?"
"This is unfair!"
The group of people outside had resentful expressions on their faces.
… …
"Senior sister Xiang Yan, this person says he knows you …"
Zhang Qingshan clasped his hands. His gaze landed on a cold-looking woman. Ning Qi stood beside Zhang Qingshan and smiled at Xiang Yan. Her lips moved slightly.
"I understand. You can leave."
Xiang Yan nodded indifferently.
Zhang Qingshan's eyes flashed with surprise. Before he left, he glanced at Ning Qi, as if he was shocked that Ning Qi really knew Xiang Yan.
"You were sent by Junior Sister Zhen Xuan?"
Xiang Yan looked Ning Qi up and down, her tone indifferent.
"That's right."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded. He had just sent a message to Xiang Yan. He had only mentioned Ying Zhenxuan's name but didn't mention his identity.
It was normal for the other party to mistake him as an errand sent by Ying Zhenxuan. After all, his cultivation was only at the Perfected Human Immortal Stage.
"What does Junior Sister Zhen Xuan want this time? Spiritual materials for the Earth Spirit Pill? "
Xiang Yan said indifferently.
"No, it's the Ancient Demon's poison."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Ancient Demon's poison?"
Xiang Yan frowned and a strange look flashed in her eyes. "Why does Junior Sister Zhen Xuan want the Ancient Demon's poison?"
"I don't know either."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Alright, come with me."
Xiang Yan nodded and led Ning Qi through the corridors of the Stone River Pill Sect. Along the way, many people bowed respectfully when they saw Xiang Yan. When they saw Ning Qi behind Xiang Yan, they had a strange look on their faces as they tried to guess Ning Qi's identity. Finally, Xiang Yan brought Ning Qi to three grottos. The three grottos were marked with the words' Heaven, Earth and Human '. Xiang Yan brought Ning Qi into the grotto with the word' Human 'written on it. It was a completely different world inside. It was extremely huge and there were many shelves. Other than Xiang Yan, there were also many disciples of the Stone River Pill Sect.
They were picking and choosing.
It looked like a gathering place for low level disciples.
"There are more than a hundred bottles of Ancient Demon's poison here. How many does Junior Sister Zhen Xuan want?"
Xiang Yan stopped in front of a shelf and asked Ning Qi.
