Chapter 108 A sudden turn of events (Third update
After Gu Qingzhao saw Qin Ming, he hesitated and said.
“Otherwise, fellow Daoist Qin, why not join them in crowdfunding to refine elixirs? The materials you have are enough to qualify.”
“I can introduce it in the middle.”
Qin Wenyan frowned slightly, thought for a long time and asked, “I wonder how good the alchemy master Sun Jinnian is at refining this foundation-building pill, and how good the quality of the pill is?”
“It’s about 30%. If you’re lucky, it’s 40%. Alchemist Sun is a second-level high-grade alchemist. This rate of alchemy is relatively high.” Gu Qingzhao explained.
“As for the quality of the pills, occasionally one or two high-quality foundation pills will be released, but the chance is very low.”
When Qin Ming heard this, he immediately felt that the risk was too high and not very stable.
If it fails, all the materials that have been accumulated over the past few years will be wasted.
Moreover, his original goal was not to obtain an ordinary quality Foundation Establishment Pill, but at least to a high-quality level. Of course, a top-quality Foundation Establishment Pill would be even better.
Even if the foundation building pill is made through crowdfunding, how to distribute the pill is still a problem, and the initiative is not in one’s hands.
Then Alchemist Sun will definitely take the commission.
In the best case scenario, you can only get one pill at most.
With his own qualifications, a Foundation Establishment Pill is not very safe.
Qin Ming weighed the pros and cons and decided to take the initiative in his own hands.
“Fellow Daoist Gu, I thought about it and decided to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill myself.”
“Have you ever found out who owns the main ingredient, chalcedony?” Qin Ming revealed his decision and then asked.
Gu Qingzhao smiled calmly when he heard this, as if he expected Qin Ming to say this.
“I have inquired about the situation clearly. Chalcedony mushroom, the main material for refining the Foundation Building Pill, is in the hands of Shen Yuanxiong, the head of the Shen family in the west of the city.”
“Shen Yuanxiong is a monk in the early stage of foundation building. I think he initiated a crowdfunding campaign to make elixirs in order to obtain foundation building pills for the descendants of his clan.”
Qin Ming was quite puzzled: “I wonder where the chalcedony in Shen Yuanxiong’s hand came from?”
“I heard that this person’s ancestor was once an elder of the Shennong Sect. He made outstanding achievements during his reign and was given several treasures by the sect. This chalcedony is one of them.”
“Later, he was seriously injured and the foundation of his immortal path was cut off, so he came to settle in Canghai Immortal City and established a family to spread its branches.”
“The foundation-building elixir that Shen Yuanxiong used when he was building the foundation was also obtained through crowdfunding and alchemy by providing the main material chalcedony mushroom more than ten years ago.”
“I really didn’t expect that he had more than one serving of chalcedony in his hand.”
Gu Qingzhao said slowly.
When Qin Ming heard this, hope arose in his heart.
So he said to her: “Are you familiar with the Shen family, Daoist friend Gu? If possible, could you help me introduce someone to them?”
Gu Qingzhao thought for a moment and said:
“The Shen family is a talisman-making family and has cooperation with our Jingxue Pavilion. Naturally, I can introduce you to fellow Taoist Qin.”
“It’s just that whether you can get Chalcedony Mushroom next depends on God’s will.”
“After all, Shen Yuanxiong wants to crowdfund materials to make elixirs. I’m afraid he won’t sell the chalcedony in his hands easily.”
Qin Ming nodded, and then he followed Gu Qingzhao out of Jingxue Pavilion and headed towards the Shen family in the west of the inner city.
After a stick of incense.
Gu Qingzhao took Qin Ming to the door of the Shen family courtyard.
After the doorman came in and announced.
The door opened, and a short, fat old man in Chinese clothes walked out, with early-stage foundation building skills.
He came out with a smile and bowed to Gu Qingzhao, “It turns out that Pavilion Master Gu is here!”
“Please come and sit in the humble house.”
It seems that this person is Shen Yuanxiong.
Shen Yuanxiong also glanced at Qin Ming. He had never seen Pavilion Master Gu of Jingxue Pavilion accompanied by a young male monk before, and he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
“I wonder who this is?” He smiled at Qin Ming and asked Gu Qingzhao.
Gu Qingzhao said calmly: “This is Fellow Daoist Qin, an honorary guest of our pavilion.”
When the other party said this, Shen Yuanxiong understood instantly, but such a young guest must not be simple.
Then the two of them entered the Shen family courtyard.
But as soon as he entered the door, Qin Ming was stunned.
Because at this moment, there are more than twenty monks gathered in the Shen family courtyard, most of them are casual cultivators.
It seems that these monks are here for the purpose of crowdfunding for alchemy.
It is estimated that after being screened by the Shen family, only four or five people will stay here.
Shen Yuanxiong brought the two of them into a room, closed the door, and cast a soundproof ban, then asked: “I wonder if Pavilion Master Gu and fellow Taoist Qin came to the humble house today to raise funds for elixir refining?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming truthfully told the other party the purpose of his coming.
And offered generous terms.
Hearing this, Shen Yuanxiong showed an embarrassed look on his face. After a long time, he slowly said: “Pavilion Master Gu is not an outsider either. I can tell you the truth.”
“I do have two copies of this Chalcedony Mushroom left here, but they are the last ones in stock.”
“If it weren’t for my incompetent son and the day when he could reach the completion of his Qi training period, I wouldn’t have even planned to take it out.”
“All my hopes are placed on this, and there is no room for any mistakes.”
“So I’m afraid I will disappoint Fellow Daoist Qin.”
Qin Ming frowned when he heard this, thought for a moment, and then said decisively: “In that case, I will also let Senior Shen know if he can give me a piece of chalcedony to make elixirs.”
“After the elixir is completed, I can also distribute a foundation-building elixir to Senior Shen.”
Shen Yuanxiong’s eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Qin Ming in disbelief, and then looked at Gu Qingzhao next to him, “This Pavilion Master Gu, does he mean Taoist Friend Qin?”
“Yes, Fellow Daoist Qin is also a second-level alchemy master.” Gu Qingzhao nodded lightly and replied with great certainty.
Only then did Shen Yuanxiong realize that he still underestimated the plain-looking Qin Ming in front of him.
No wonder then.
“It turns out that Fellow Daoist Qin is actually a second-level alchemy master. How disrespectful!” Shen Yuanxiong recovered from the shock and then asked, “I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qin has ever refined a foundation-building pill?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming replied calmly: “Not yet, mainly because of the lack of spiritual materials.”
“But don’t worry, Senior Shen, I am still very confident about refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.”
Gu Qingzhao also helped and said: “I can guarantee this. Fellow Daoist Qin has successfully refined the second-level elixir, the Zhuyan Dan, which is quite difficult to refine.”
Shen Yuanxiong was stunned when he heard this. Since he had never refined it before, how could he be so confident?
Moreover, he saw that Qin Mingcai was a young man in the late stage of Qi training. This was the first time he had heard of this person, and he was a little distrustful of his alchemy skills.
It seems that he is a newly promoted second-level alchemist, somewhat young and energetic.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanxiong already made a decision.
Even with Pavilion Master Gu’s guarantee, he couldn’t make fun of his tribe’s path to immortality.
He thought for a moment, and then said with an apologetic look: “I’m really sorry, I have reached an agreement with Alchemist Sun Jinnian, and all these two pieces of chalcedony must be refined by him.”
Qin Ming was greatly disappointed when he heard this.
It seems that the other party still can’t trust me, but this is normal.
“Yeah, but I still have a piece of Chalcedony Mushroom here, but my spirituality is severely damaged and the medicine is not strong enough.”
“I don’t know if Fellow Daoist Qin will need it. If necessary, I can sell it to you.”
Qin Ming originally planned to leave with a disappointed mood, but unexpectedly it took another turn.
Immediately his eyes lit up and he said hurriedly:
“really!”
Shen Yuanxiong nodded, then took out a long jade box from the storage bag, opened it and opened it.
A crystal clear Ganoderma lucidum, like emerald, appeared in the sight of Qin Ming and the others.
There are also nights.
