Back to the present, occasionally, Qin Yi would throw in one of the heaven and earth material ingredients into the furnace. Sotis, he would open the lid of the furnace, while at others, he would keep it closed. He carried out his movents at such a fast speed that made his work look so efficient.
He kept maintaining the fire's heat level at five hundred degrees, causing it neither too high nor too low. He still didn't dare to raise the heat level of the fire too high because he still had a hard ti sustaining the characteristics of the materials in this cauldron.
So other day, he tried to do that. As a result, all the ingredients were charred, and the cauldron emitted a thick and slly black smoke; the sll lasted for a whole week. He still felt unpleasant whenever he rembered that incident.
Three hours have passed...
"Pill completed!"
Qin Yi imdiately retracted the flas, and then he lifted the lid of the furnace, and a faint dicinal fragrance instantly wafted out.
"What a nice sll!"
When he peeked into the cauldron, there were exactly seven-round vermilion-colored pills inside. The surface of the pills sparkled temptingly, appearing almost translucent.
He had succeeded in concocting the pills!
"Not bad, I got seven pills in my first attempt!" Qin Yi laughed loudly.
If he made a Qi Strengthening Pill, normally, he would get around fifteen pills. Although seven was a bit, it could still be considered an achievent since this was his first attempt.
He took out the pills and asked the system to extract one of them to get an accurate purity number.
[Extraction completed!]
[Obtained 35 Strengthening]
[Obtained 32 Pains]
[Obtained 33 Impurity]
"67% purity, not bad!"
Qin Yi nodded in acknowledgnt as he imdiately stored these pills in the bottles.
After that, he took out so other ingredients to make the sa pill, and he started to concoct the pills again.
Even though he had managed to concoct the Body Strengthening Pill, the results had still not t his expectations. Therefore, he would try it over and over again until he was satisfied with the results.
***
Early in the morning, the disciples in the Sleeping Dragon Sect began their usual activities. However, there's one particular thing that is bustling and hot in the discussion by disciples at this ti.
The gossip ca from the disciples who were in the Mission Hall. They said that Lin Feng and his group returned from the Red Paper Mission yesterday, but they failed miserably. Not only did they fail to obtain their objective, but they also failed to maintain their numbers.
They left with a total of five people, but they returned with only two people, of which two people were Lin Feng as the team captain and Feng Lai as the strongest in the team. Moreover, they seed not in good shape.
They were simply failed miserably.
The rest of the disciples began to wonder what kind of mission had made them fail so bad like this?
Although the Red Paper Mission signified "Danger," but usually it wasn't so dangerous that it could almost wipe out an entire team. Moreover, Lin Feng's team wasn't weak; one of them was even the Eighth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm.
The experience of Lin Feng's team made so disciples who were about to take the Red Paper Mission for the first ti hesitate.
After all, although the rewards of the Red Color Mission are abundant and enticing, it's more important to stay alive.
"Is the Red Paper Mission that dangerous?"
Qin Yi, who was walking along with Qiao Jin, the younger brother of Qiao Na, couldn't help but ask curiously.
Qiao Jin has short, deep brown hair, yellow cat-like eyes, and a scar on his forehead above his left eye that is usually partially hidden underneath his hair. He's wearing outer sect robes include a dusty sand yellow headband that wraps around his head and covers his ears.
This guy is only in the Fourth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm and has a particular carefree aura around him. He also excels in gathering various kinds of resources from various sources and resells them to needy people like Qin Yi.
Qin Yi always asked Qiao Jin to buy him various heaven and earth materials to use in his alchemy training.
Fortunately, this guy is not the type to be overly curious about his client's background. Even though he was surprised at Qin Yi's finances, he didn't ask too much about it.
As long as his clients could pay him money, he would professionally fulfill their requests.
"I do not know." Qiao Jin shrugged his shoulders as he sighed and said, "My cultivation base is only the Fourth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm; the Red Paper Mission is still too dangerous for . But I heard from so fellow disciples that the Red Paper Mission is dangerous, but usually, it's not up to the mark life-threatening as long as you are careful."
"I see, it seems like Lin Feng and his companions weren't careful enough..." Qin Yi said blankly.
"That seems to be the case. Even though Lin Feng is strong and usually appears friendly on the surface, he is actually very proud and arrogant, and I have heard many bad things about him. Perhaps his failure was a result of his character. Now, he could only wait for the Law Enforcent Hall to summon him."
"Law Enforcent Hall..."
Qin Yi muttered as he naturally knew about this Law Enforcent Hall. It was a place where sect disciples who broke the rules or committed wrongdoing were judged.
He heard that the punishnts handed out by the Law Enforcent Hall were usually not light and whoever was judged guilty never ended well.
Normally, Qin Yi would also have to go there after being caught off guard by Li Hai, but luckily Li Hai offered him a different punishnt. Though, he wasn't sure which one was dangerous...
Lin Feng's case is also Qin Yi as the culprit. Even though he didn't directly kill Lin Feng's companions, he was the one responsible for their deaths.
Killing a fellow sect mber was a grave offense. At worst, the disciples will be crippled and expelled from the sect.
Fortunately, no one expected that Qin Yi was the one behind Lin Feng's team's failed mission, and he was also the one who caused so of them to die.
Even though he left a trail of arrows on the scene, he speculated that no one would be able to guess what bizarre thod he used to make the Purple Monarch Python heal and berserk.
After all, his thod was unheard of.
Therefore, the Law Enforcent Hall could only bla the team captain for this incident.
"By the way, Brother Qin, all the Qi Strengthening Pills you handed the other day have all sold out. Moreover, many disciples have requested those pills from , and they hope that you will replenish the stock of pills more so they don't lose out like they did yesterday."
Qiao Ji suddenly changed the topic of their conversation with great enthusiasm.
"Oh,"
Qin Yi pretended to be surprised, but in his heart, he already expected it. After all, the pills he sold had a higher purity level than the pills that were commonly circulated in the sect.
Ever since he got to know Qiao Jin and took a liking to his honest character, he also started to entrust his Qi Strengthening Pills to this fellow to sell to other disciples.
Qiao Jin didn't let down his expectations either. In fact, he did very well.
Although he spent a lot of money buying alchemy ingredients, he also got so money back by selling the pills he made.
Even if he made them, these pills were useless to Qin Yi, so he better sold them and turned them into money.
Of course, he asked Qiao Jin not to publicize his identity for the ti being. After all, his identity as an Alchemist had not been authenticated by the Secondary Profession Association. If he accidentally offended another Alchemist, no one would be able to help him.
"Brother Qiao, I still have a lot of pills I've made. I'll leave them to you once we get to my Dragon Cave."
"Oh, I expected no less from a genious Alchemist like, Brother Qin."
"You praise too much, Brother Qiao. I'm just lucky and... a genius. That's all!"
"..." Qiao Jin was speechless and couldn't help but admire inwardly, 'Wow, you're so humble, brother...'
Before long, the two of them arrived at Qin Yi's Dragon Cave, and there they saw soone they didn't expect.
Qin Yi exclaid surprisedly, "Brother Gao, you are finally willing to co out of your closed door cultivation!"
"Haha, it's been a while, Brother Qin!"
Gao Peng laughed at Qin Yi's reaction, and then he saw the person behind him.
"Oh, isn't this Brother Qiao?"
"It's been a while, Brother Gao! Congratulations on your success in your closed door cultivation!" Qiao Jin cupped his fist toward Gao Peng.
