Chapter 266 Sensation
On Canghai Peak, inside the main hall.

After Nalan Xi invited Qin Ming to take a seat, she personally brewed a pot of spiritual tea for him.

Qin Ming was not as flattered as he was when he first met Master Nalan Xi.

After all, his current strength and status are there.

It is estimated that in the past hundred years, Qin Ming is the only one who can have the Jindan ancestor make tea for the foundation-building cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, how about trying this mist tea?"

Nalan Xi said with a smile, gently pushing the teacup in front of Qin Ming.

Qin Ming picked up the teacup and took a sip. He immediately felt a refreshing and cool feeling that spread from his mouth to his whole body.

There is even a sense of enlightenment.

"Good tea. This time the quality of the tea has probably reached the second-grade mid-level." Qin Ming praised.

Nalan Xi smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed a high-level spiritual plant master, you hit the nail on the head."

She was not in a hurry to exchange the Dust-Mieting Pill with Qin Ming directly, but chatted with him for a while as if they were daily friends, to ease the atmosphere.

"By the way, I would also like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Qin for breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building."

"Haha, it was just a lucky breakthrough."

In Nalan Xi's opinion, Qin Ming relied on taking elixirs to improve his cultivation level.

After all, the other party's current level of alchemy has already broken through to the third-level master level. What kind of elixir can't he refine?

However, there is a limit to how much you can improve your cultivation by using elixirs. Taking large amounts of elixirs is useful at a low level, but after the Golden Core Stage, you can no longer improve your cultivation by simply taking elixirs.

Of course, there are exceptions to this, including a few panaceas, such as the Dust-Mieting Pill.

About half an hour passed.

Nalan Xicai said: "Qin Dao's breakthrough to the third-level alchemy master will probably cause quite a stir in the world of immortal cultivation, haha!"

"After all, in the past hundreds of years, Wei State has only had one master like you."

"By then, the number of forces that will come to pay their respects will probably be countless."

"Ah~ Fellow Daoist Nalan, thank you for your praise. You know I don't really like to be in the limelight. This breakthrough was also unexpected. After returning to Wangyue Island, I will probably stay indoors for a long time and refuse to see visitors." Qin Ming shook his head.

When Master Nalan Xi heard Qin Ming's answer, he was quite surprised and sighed:

"There are not many people like Qin Daoyou who pursue the great way wholeheartedly, study hard, and regard fame and fortune as nothing."

Then she suddenly changed the subject and asked earnestly, "I have an unwelcome request. I wonder how many Dust-Extinguishing Pills did Fellow Daoist Qin make this time?"

"Can you sell one to me? Or I can exchange it with some spiritual materials from heaven and earth."

Qin Ming's expression did not change much when he heard this. In fact, he had already expected that Master Nalan would make this request.

So, he only thought about it for a moment and nodded and agreed: "Since it is Daoist Nalan who asked, then Qin can naturally make a deal."

"I have refined two Dust-Extinguishing Pills this time. I can trade one to Fellow Daoist Nalan, but Qin needs to use spiritual materials to make the deal."

"Oh? I wonder what kind of spiritual material Fellow Daoist Qin needs?" When Master Nalan Xi heard Qin Ming agreed readily, he couldn't help but look happy and asked hurriedly.

"Qin needs to exchange the third-level spiritual material, Sun Essence Gold. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Nalan has it?" Qin Ming took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Nalan Xi was stunned when she heard this. Although she knew that the Dust-Murdering Pill was very valuable and was prepared to spend a lot of money, she didn't expect that what Qin Ming wanted was actually Sun Refined Gold.

This kind of top-grade third-level spiritual material is also what Jindan-stage cultivators dream of, and it is even more rare and precious.

"Haha! The Sun Essence Gold that Fellow Daoist Qin needs is a very yang and strong substance that ranks among the top three among the third-level spiritual materials. Even in the entire Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World, its existence is extremely rare."

"But I happen to have a small piece here, and I was planning to upgrade my life magic weapon."

"If Fellow Daoist Qin wants to exchange it for this, it is also possible, but I don't have much Sun Essence Gold in my hand."

Subsequently.

Master Nalan Xi took out a fist-sized piece of golden spiritual ore and handed it to Qin Ming, which emitted a strong golden halo.

Qin Ming took the Sun Essence Gold and saw that it was covered with strange spiritual patterns. The moment he held it, he felt a surge of extremely yang energy coming towards him.

"This is definitely the Sun's Pure Gold, but the quantity is totally insufficient. This piece is only barely enough to refine three Wooden Emperor Nails."

The voice of the weapon spirit suddenly rang in Qin Ming's mind.

Qin Ming remained silent on the surface when he heard this, but he was shocked in his heart. That meant that if he wanted to refine all eighty-one Wooden Emperor Nails, how much solar gold would he have to collect?

However, with his current cultivation strength, three is the limit.

So, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "This piece of Sun Gold is also OK, but I have to add another 5,000 middle-grade spirit stones."

"No problem." Master Nalan Xi's eyes lit up. As the lord of a city in a holy land for independent cultivators, she naturally had no shortage of spirit stones.

The transaction price proposed by Qin Ming is reasonable.

After handing over enough spirit stones to Qin Ming, Qin Ming also gave a Dust-Mieting Pill to Master Nalan Xi.

The transaction is completed and both parties get what they want.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Nalan, the time limit for my rental of the cave has exceeded. I wonder how many spirit stones I need to pay?" Qin Ming asked.

"You, the master of the alchemy path, have achieved a breakthrough and promotion in this city. Canghai Immortal City has nothing to be proud of. How can we accept the spirit stones from Fellow Daoist Qin?"

Say it.

Nalan Xi returned all the spirit stones that Qin Ming had used to rent the cave for two and a half years.

With Qin Ming’s current status, he is a popular figure wherever he goes.

Her intention to show goodwill to Qin Ming could not be more obvious.

In the future, Nalan Xi would probably have to ask Qin Ming for help. After all, he was the only cultivator in Wei State who could refine Jindan-stage elixirs.

"Fellow Daoist Nalan, I will take my leave now."

"If you are free, Fellow Daoist Qin, you can come to Canghai Peak more often. I will welcome you at any time."

"Friend Qin, do you need me to send someone to take you back?" Considering that the outside was probably in chaos, Nalan Xi asked proactively.

"Haha! No need for that. Qin can just go back on his own."

After Qin Ming communicated with Nalan Xi for half a day, he said goodbye and left Canghai Peak.

Master Nalan Xi saw Qin Ming off all the way.

Returning to the throne in the hall, she took out the Dust-Mieting Pill that she had traded from Qin Ming, her eyes flickering.

“I didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist Qin’s alchemy skills have reached such a level. I’m afraid he is not inferior to the Grandmaster-level worshipers of the Lihuo Palace.”

"I'm afraid he has already completely received all the true teachings of Su Yuqing of the Su family."

"In this chaotic era, two great masters were born at the same time!"

……

Qin Ming went to Canghai Peak and had a brief chat with Lu Wanjun who was guarding outside. Then he took out a bottle of Huanglong Pill which was useful for the initial stage of foundation building and handed it to her.

This bottle of medicine was also looted from Linghu Yang's storage bag.

"Thank you, Master Qin, for your generous gift!" Lu Wanjun's pretty face lit up and she hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

Qin Ming smiled faintly, "It's nothing. When Fellow Daoist Lu Liang was alive, he asked me to take care of you. Over the years, you have been safe in the Immortal City and I don't have to worry about you. This is also a way to compensate you."

"Practice well here. If fellow Daoist Luliang knew about this, he would be pleased."

"Wanjun will keep Grandmaster Qin's teachings in mind and will practice hard! She will not let down the old master's expectations!" Lu Wanjun said with a firm look.

"Yeah." Qin Ming nodded, then exchanged a few words with her and left Canghai Peak.

Master Canghai naturally saw all of this.

Subsequently.

She called Lu Wanjun over.

"Lord City Lord, are you looking for me?"

"Well, Wanjun, you have been working in Xiancheng for decades, right?"

"From today on, you will take over the position of the elder of the Deacon Hall in the Inner City."

"You can also choose a cave on the main peak to practice."

After hearing what Master Canghai said, Lu Wanjun could hardly believe it and stood there in a daze.

……

After Qin Ming left Canghai Peak, the communication talisman on his body began to ring continuously.

He frowned and took out the communication talisman.

I found out that the messages were sent by Gu Qingzhao from Jingxue Pavilion and Xu Jing from Danding Pavilion.

Without exception, they all invited him to come over for a chat.

These two are large businesses that Qin Ming has cooperated with for many years. In the future, when he collects high-level materials and spirit seeds, he will definitely need to continue to cooperate in depth, so it would be difficult to refuse.

So he concealed his figure, avoided crowded places, and walked towards Jingxue Pavilion.

Throughout the Canghai Immortal City, the news that Qin Ming had successfully been promoted to the third-level alchemy master spread everywhere.

The streets and alleys were bustling with people, whether they were independent cultivators or disciples of great masters, all were discussing this event that would leave a mark in the history of Canghai Fairy City.

"Extra number! Extra number!"

"Master Qin, the master of Wangyue Island, has achieved the level of a third-level alchemy master in Xiancheng today!"

"Three hundred years after the death of Grandmaster Li Qingyang, the Wei Kingdom has once again produced a Grandmaster of the Dao of Alchemy! His name will live forever!"

"Master Qin has become the second master of alchemy in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation World after Master Gongsun Yang of Xuanxi Valley!"

"Oh my goodness! Grandmaster Qin has already broken through to the third-level alchemy master at the foundation-building stage. How high is his alchemy talent?"

"Could it be that he possesses some kind of hidden alchemy holy body?"

"Well, what you said is absolutely right. I think it is possible!"

"Master Qin is only a hundred years old, right? He should be the youngest master of alchemy in history, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. I heard from the elders in the sect that there is an alchemist named Su in Dajin who broke through to the Grandmaster level not long ago."

"His talent is so high that even the bigwigs of Lihuo Palace admire him prostrate themselves before him."

"There are always higher mountains, but our Grandmaster Qin is no less capable."

"Because I heard that what Grandmaster Qin refined was the Dust-Extinguishing Pill, a third-level elixir that is extremely difficult to refine."

"Sigh~"

"Now all the major forces will compete to grab this person first, right?"

"After all, a breakthrough to the third-level alchemy master is even more difficult than a breakthrough to the golden elixir stage."

"In terms of influence, a third-level grandmaster is much higher than an ordinary Jindan ancestor."

"After all, a master of alchemy can benefit a sect and influence its rise and fall."

"Master Qin also started out as a casual cultivator. He is truly a role model for cultivators of my generation!"

"..."

Qin Ming listened to these gossips and couldn't help but curl his lips, "Oh, what a bad idea!"

At this point, Qin Ming's reputation among the cultivators in Canghai Immortal City reached its peak.

So whenever he went to Jingxue Pavilion, he would enter quietly through the back door.
