Chapter 186

According to their two-person plan, they were preparing to bankrupt the entire South Mountain Lineage, as long as they kept Qin Yu alive.

But now it seems, completely unnecessary.

Qin Yu is a true pharmaceutical genius; the medicines he extracts are all neutralizing in effect, so they are inexpensive, only one-third the price.

But... even so, the current production cost of a single Qi-Blood Pill is only just over sixty thousand Star Coins.

Selling at seventy thousand Star Coins still yields a profit!

Moreover, with this price advantage, the Qi-Blood Pill will become a monopoly of the South Mountain Lineage in the future.

Before long, it will sweep the entire Blue Star; this is a huge market, the Qi-Blood Pill is a consumable, and lower-tier martial artists must use it every day.

"Senior Brother Yan, why isn't Qin Senior Brother's prescription handed over to Qin Shangwu? Instead, you chose to trust our South Mountain Lineage? Could there be something fishy about this?" Even Xu Song, who is like a brute, felt something was off at this moment and sent a mental transmission.

Even though Qin Yu has now become their senior elder brother, he still feels a heavy weight in his heart.

This is a tremendous fortune; in the low-end market, the most important thing is this Qi-Blood Pill, which accounts for fifty percent of usage.

Normally, Qin Yu should have given it to his father.

That would be reasonable.

Old Yan pondered for a moment, his pupils constricted sharply, and his heart was overwhelmed with shock, utterly astonished.

He quickly sent a mental transmission: "This... perhaps it's the Qin family's layout."

"Normally, Qin Yu's physical examination could be completed by any decent doctor."

"But Professor Lin has repeatedly requested the higher-ups to let me go..."

"And I just happened to be ambushed by capital in Qin Yu's home, nearly dying."

"What a coincidence—Qin Yu just happened to have the means to cure my ailment, producing nearly a hundred stalks of divine herbs; the Qin family is telling us that their foundation... is not just this!"

"And our South Mountain Lineage happens to lack a new-generation heir; naturally, we would have such thoughts, but development proceeded too quickly, so I directly took on a disciple in place of the master."

"From the very beginning, the Qin family might have already taken a liking to us; the incident of the Qi-Blood Pill data leak caused an uproar, and capital also had accomplices among the higher-ups."

"So this time, the Qin family is likely setting up a trap!"

"A trap aimed at aristocratic families!"

"Then everything makes sense!"

Yan Hai told his junior brother everything he had thought; the two exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat dazed.

In other words, the two were about to set out for Qin Yu's home.

Had they already entered this game?

And they were the pieces chosen by the Qin family!

Xu Song also realized this at that moment.

"Our South Mountain Lineage, besides the Chen Family in Sichuan Province, is the largest medical hall and pharmaceutical faction; even with aggressive expansion, we could seize the entire Great Xia market in a short time!"

"Moreover, our faction is also on the Great Xia side!"

"No wonder everything makes sense!"

Xu Song looked at Qin Yu with a hint of reverence; this must have been led by Qin Shangwu behind the scenes, but... Qin Yu's side is also crucial.

He truly is also skilled in pharmacology; among the younger generation, few can rival him.

After all, when capital strikes, who knows what illness it will be? But Qin Yu can pull out a curative herb at a moment's notice.

"This is the moment for our South Mountain Lineage to rise by leveraging the situation!"

"From now on, whoever dares to question the senior elder brother will be expelled directly from the mountain gate!"

Yan Hai's final mental transmission carried a heavy tone, leaving no room for doubt.

A Martial Saint and a God of Medicinal Arts.

This is what he values most; as for profit, it's nothing.

But at this moment, Qin Yu doesn't know what these two old men are imagining.

This is entirely his own doing; he happened to receive a suggestion, and then remembered that he is also skilled in alchemy.

That's how the idea of joining the South Mountain Lineage came about.

He has mainly been secretly targeted by a certain capital.

This makes him extremely unhappy.

If he doesn't fight back, his Dao heart will never be fulfilled.

But... Qin Yu is also speechless now, because the effect differs greatly from what he expected.

Even if it wasn't made by him, at the very least it should be over fifty percent better than the current Qi-Blood Pill.

It should reach the current top-tier quality of Qi-Blood Pill on Blue Star.

As he was pondering, the South Mountain Hall Master received a call, his eyes filled with shock, and he quickly spoke up.

"Uncle... after use, this medicinal effect allows a first-tier martial artist to increase qi and blood by twenty units in a short time, the speed of bone tempering also improves, and the pill's side effects are even smaller."

Immediately, the hall master led a group of physicians, hurriedly paying respects to Qin Yu and speaking loudly.

"Uncle's pharmaceutical methods are astonishingly divine; prior doubts have caused many offenses, please forgive us!"

At this moment, his heart was genuinely convinced.

At this age, he can overturn the current prescriptions.

He is truly a master of pharmaceutical arts.

Even as one of the Four Great Divine Physicians, Senior Brother Yan cannot compare.

As everyone was elated, Qin Yu furrowed his brows and spoke.

"The prescription I produced should not only have this level of efficacy."

"Let me try."

After learning how to use these mechanical alchemy furnaces, he wanted to see what the actual medicinal effect was like.

"Could… could it still be improved!?" The hall master involuntarily drew a breath of cool air; the matter of cutting costs, the entire Blue Star has already stagnated for a full thirty years.

But it has already caused the number of martial artists on the entire Blue Star to surge, allowing comprehensive promotion.

But now, Master Qin actually says it can still be improved—this is too absurd!

The physician who had been preparing the medicine earlier hurried to the side, tidying up the medicinal materials for Qin Yu and cleaning the residue in the alchemy furnace.

His expression full of frenzy: "Master Qin, please."

Qin Yu's current age has already been completely overlooked by everyone.

In the field of alchemy, the capable come first!

Everyone believed Qin Yu to be an unparalleled grand master.

Qin Yu stepped forward, took a deep breath; having not refined pills for a long time, he had become quite rusty.

He slapped his right hand, surging qi and blood like a raging wave, directly blasting all the medicinal materials in the medicine tray into the small alchemy furnace.

He opened the flame device of the alchemy furnace.

He directly adjusted it to the highest temperature.

【You are refining medicine, activating the fusion trait, fire control trait, medicine control master trait… there will be no loss of medicinal efficacy, fully preserved.】

【On this basis, quantity increases by twenty percent, quality doubles!】

Qin Yu's mind echoed with a prompt, urging the strands of spiritual energy within his body to flow in; even if it melted into medicinal liquid, it remained completely intact and preserved.

He even directly shut off the flame device, urging his qi and blood, just like refining pills in the Cangyuan Realm.

This improvement exceeds that of the Cangyuan Realm, because these people's alchemy methods are too crude, the leaked medicinal efficacy reaches seventy or eighty percent—what good product could be produced?

Furthermore, thanks to the excess medicinal efficacy, they can produce two or three extra pills per furnace.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The high temperature instantly filled the laboratory, leaving many physicians dumbfounded.

Flames…… can they be played with like this?

Especially Yan Hai and Xu Song, as Medical Dao Grand Masters, they know best how difficult this fire control method is!

Not even they could do it!

"Perhaps we guessed wrong—it's not Qin Shangwu pulling the strings behind the scenes, but… this youth, he wants to strike back at the aristocratic clans!" At that moment, Yan Hai suddenly realized and transmitted to his junior brother.

A young adult who has just come of age, wanting to rival the thousand-year inheritance of the aristocratic clans that have survived the underground calamities.

This is too terrifying.

Moreover, the process of refining medicine flows like clouds and water, his fire control method is even more smooth, perfectly controlled solely by his qi and blood.

This damn thing is human?

This is a second-rank martial artist?

The two were shocked at the same time, also fantasizing about the future Qin Yu, if he reaches grand master, or even supreme grand master.

If he continues to study the path of medicinal principles.

The achievements he would reach.

Perhaps it will change the whole pattern of the Blue Star.

"Boom!"

Half an hour later, Qin Yu felt his spirit somewhat fatigued; in the Blue Star, whether his qi and blood or his spiritual power, although not weak, far surpassing martial artists of the same realm, but… ultimately still too feeble.

"Buzz!"

The alchemy furnace trembled, the surging qi and blood medicinal efficacy inside colliding wildly.

Qin Yu cupped his hands together, countless flames directly drilling into the small alchemy cauldron.

After a moment, the medicinal fusion succeeded, the flames dissipated.

Qin Yu directly lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace; inside lay nine pills covered in a faint red hue, resting quietly.

The surging medicinal efficacy burst forth violently, causing the physicians nearby to tremble immensely!

"This medicinal efficacy…… is twice as strong as top-quality qi and blood pills, astonishing beyond compare!"

"Moreover, the quantity reached nine pills, as if all the medicinal efficacy in the ingredients had been completely fused into them, with not a trace leaking out!"

The physicians' lips turned pale, their voices trembling.

He had witnessed a miracle!

Earlier, standing aside, he had never sensed any leaking medicinal efficacy—in other words… this Master Qin had completely controlled everything within the alchemy furnace!

This is simply not human!

He is a god!
