Chapter 54

Not only him, the several stewards of the Alchemy Room also changed their expressions dramatically.

Can this also be refined into a pill?

Moreover, the quality is exceptionally outstanding.

Look at this appearance—it's actually supreme grade.

They can tell Qin Yu is refining Foundation Establishment Pill for the first time.

How did he do it?

Everyone felt confused.

This situation is totally unexpected—could this really be a first-layer Foundation Establishment inner sect disciple?

Or just promoted from the outer sect?

Lin An's expression shifted slightly as wafts of pill fragrance entered his nostrils; his inner spiritual qi seemed to surge, faintly feeling a breakthrough bottleneck.

He stepped forward: "Junior Brother Qin, this Foundation Establishment Pill is fifteen thousand spirit stones each—I'll take it!"

Not only him, other inner sect disciples who had paid spirit stones also sensed the pill's marvel and spoke up.

"This is definitely the appearance of a Yellow Tier Upper Grade pill, seemingly with breakthrough‑effect, top grade—sixteen thousand spirit stones each, I'll take two!"

"Sixteen thousand spirit stones, I'll take one!"

Everyone's eyes were now blazing with fervor.

Such supreme‑grade pills are too astonishing; they will surely spark a frenzy—even at eighteen thousand spirit stones each, they'd be worth it!

Among Yellow Tier pills, only a few possess breakthrough‑function; each is a heavenly price, starting at twenty thousand spirit stones.

What's more, it also has Foundation Establishment effect.

The Foundation Establishment probability can definitely reach fifty percent!

What does that mean?

As long as one's cultivation foundation is solid, increasing the Foundation Establishment chance by fifty percent can completely mass‑produce Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Too astonishing.

"Indeed, selling pills is the most profitable, though the consumption is high." Qin Yu looked downward, showing a satisfied expression.

At this rate, buying an earth‑tier longevity spirit medicine for himself is possible.

At least, his physical body on Blue Star won't drop dead outright.

This alchemy room steward is truly a good person.

"I'll offer eighteen thousand spirit stones! I'll take all the pills." At that moment, an indifferent voice sounded from the side.

A youth in splendid robes, accompanied by several attendants, slowly stepped into the alchemy room.

His eyes flashed with sharp light, his aura astonishing, faintly suppressing Lin An.

"My name is Li Xuan, a true disciple of the Xuanyang Sect."

"From now on, all the pills you refine will be supplied to me; I can cultivate you into a top-tier Xuan-stage alchemist. In the Xuanyang Sect or Canglan Yu, follow me and you will not be mistreated."

His words were overbearing, as if he wanted to directly recruit Qin Yu.

Lin An saw the newcomer, his pupils constricted sharply, and he came to Qin Yu's side: "This person is a newly promoted true disciple, a closed-door disciple of the Eighth Elder, possessing an innate fire spirit body, and acts in an overbearing, forceful manner."

"But he's not a bad person; however… he wants to contend for the position of junior sect master."

"Rumor has it they are recruiting inner-door disciples with exceptional talent, giving them full cultivation; they likely saw your talent for alchemy and also want to recruit you."

This Li Xuan actually set his sights on Qin Yu.

This is too foolish.

For an alchemist of this level, with such a pill-success rate—not to mention him, even the sect's core elders would regard him as a treasure.

He actually thought he could recruit with just a few words.

After the voice transmission ended, Lin An lightly coughed: "I'll offer twenty thousand spirit stones; I'll help with Qin Yu's pill sales, no need to trouble Young Master Li."

Qin Yu gave a slight nod, indicating understanding.

He naturally would not follow others.

Moreover, this person even wants to compete with Senior Sister Lin Xue?

At least we come from the same lineage.

Given the master-disciple relationship, I will always side with Lin Xue no matter what.

Furthermore, if it weren't for Lin Xue's suggestion earlier, I might not have possessed so many alchemical traits.

Now, the pills I refine at the Yellow Tier can all break through tiers.

In a short time, I will surely master a vast amount of spirit stone wealth.

He then calmly said: "Because I have a deep friendship with Lin An, I will sell the first batch to him; if you need more later, I will sell to you."

"Besides, I don't like to follow anyone."

Then he turned his head, looking at the old man in coarse cloth beside him: "Going forward, is there still a need to continue?"

"Although I have consumed a lot, after resting a while I can still refine them."

Now the attention I've drawn is enough; there's no need to keep refining Blood Qi Pills.

If I continuously refine and break through tiers, it will cause a great commotion in the sect.

Now my pill-refining technique is basically mastered; for me, Yellow Tier pills are not difficult—I just need to pick a Pill Formula and refine it.

This time's purpose has been accomplished.

Qin Yu's direct refusal caused Li Xuan's brows to furrow slightly.

I am currently one of the strongest geniuses of the Xuanyang Sect, with a quota to contend for the position of junior sect master, and several elders behind me support me.

But… now, I have been refused?

This made him feel somewhat dissatisfied inside.

The old man in coarse cloth had a grim expression, about to produce two hundred thousand spirit stones, when several handsome youths entered the alchemy chamber, their bearing extraordinary, arrogant and unruly.

They spoke directly: "Clearly you are a veteran alchemist, yet you secretly learned Steward Qi's alchemy method, using it to refine top-grade Blood-Congealing and Foundation Establishment pills; if you don't hand over five hundred thousand spirit stones today, no one can protect you, and your inner‑door quota won't be kept."

These few are all true‑transmission disciples; as they stood here, their aura was extraordinary.

After roughly hearing the process, they thought Qin Yu had stolen the knowledge for free, feeling extremely aggrieved, and wanted to swindle him out of several hundred thousand spirit stones.

They came straight up, passed judgment, demanded Qin Yu hand over sufficient spirit stones, and their attitude was extremely tough.

Qi Ming stood aside, mouth slightly open, stunned in place—"Damn… are these guys crazy?"

Even an alchemy genius of this level dares to provoke them?

Could it be that those old fogeys didn't tell these few that this person is a novice alchemist?

He's definitely destined to become an Earth‑stage cultivator.

He will become an ancestor whom the whole Canglan Yu will have to support.

"Finished… they don't know the sequel, only telling how this boy stole your Blood‑Congealing pill process."

"This is going to become a big problem."

Immediately he sent a mental transmission to Qin Yu: "Young friend, I will transfer two hundred thousand spirit stones to you later; these people's actions have nothing to do with me."

If they really provoke him, later they'll bear a grudge, and their life or death will be uncertain.

One steward's expression changed drastically; he hastily sent a mental transmission, but dared not reveal it openly, because the alchemy chamber is independent of the sect's system.

If word got out about colluding with true‑transmission disciples, they would be punished by the Law Enforcement Hall; he then briefly informed them of these matters.

But… after hearing that Qin Yu was an alchemy prodigy, the eyes of those few true‑transmission disciples shone even brighter.

"This youth is at the first stage of Foundation Establishment and is an alchemy genius; if we could bring him under our wing, Elder Dongfang's bid for the position of junior sect master would surely have a greater chance."

"Moreover, look at his appearance—he wears the garb of an inner‑door disciple, has no true‑transmission follower beside him; if we directly recruit him, having heard Elder Dongfang's name, he will surely come to pay his respects."

Then one of them spoke again: "Junior brother, although your alchemy talent is extraordinary… stealing the Pill Formula is a grave offense; if reported to the Law Enforcement Hall, your inner‑door disciple status will not be retained."

"But my elder brother Dongfang Yuan is willing to protect you completely."

"Furthermore, we several are listed as true‑transmission disciples in the sect."

"If you are willing to go with us, we can guarantee your safety—what do you say?"

The three narrowed their eyes, full of confidence.

Lin An stood to the side, nearly bursting out laughing on the spot.

True‑transmission disciples—are they really that impressive?

Earlier, the three core elders almost came to blows over Qin Yu.

What are you guys even worth?

Li Xuan saw the situation, stepped forward, his face indifferent: "What is Dongfang Yuan anyway? Does he even deserve to recruit such a heaven‑defying alchemy genius?"

"Get lost."

"Furthermore, this is a wager—what theft are we talking about?"

"Don't try to deceive this newly promoted inner‑door disciple!"

Seeing that Qin Yu wouldn't yield to force, he tried a softer approach.

Such a monster… must be recruited into our ranks.

Having one alchemy genius would be enough to help me attract many inner‑door disciples to join.

By then, we can make a push for the position of junior sect master!
