Chapter 390: No Way to Find Medicine, Star Sea God Vine

Dajin, Zhongzhou Longting Lake, Su family.

After suffering a setback at the Wuxing Mountain Market, the Luo family and their entourage came here without stopping.

Since the other party's price was too high, they could only try their luck here.

Who knows, things might turn around.

"Humph! This Hua Tianxiong and that Shopkeeper Lu have such big appetites!"

"In my opinion, they want to take this opportunity to make a fortune from us. They actually require fourth-level spiritual materials before they are willing to trade."

"Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Luo Chen changed his previous sickly look, sat in the Dharma Boat, and said with great indignation.

"Sir, it's not like we can't get fourth-level spiritual materials."

"But once we do this, if the news leaks out, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble."

"If we attract the attention of the Great Devil Sect, it will be more trouble than it's worth!"

"And there are those demon cultivators from the Blood Refining Demon Sect who have descended to this world."

At this time, Elder Luo Xi changed the way he addressed Luo Chen, and his tone was full of respect, and it was obvious that the two were not father and son.

Instead, it is somewhat like the communication between master and servant.

"Well, let's take a look first."

"If it doesn't work, think of other ways."

"This matter cannot be delayed any longer, you understand."

Luo Chen thought for a moment and said solemnly.

"Yes, sir." Luo Xi replied.

But when they drove the Dharma Boat to the gate of Sujiashan, they were completely shocked by the scene before them.

The people of the Luo family truly experienced what a real 'crowded house' meant!
In front of the Su family's gate, there was an endless stream of wealthy and powerful families, disciples of various sects, and even some famous figures in the world of immortal cultivation, who came to visit and ask for elixirs.

In comparison, the Luo family of Da Zhou can only be regarded as a middle-to-lower-level force.

When Luo Chen and Luo Xi saw this scene, their hearts sank.
Luo Chen felt secretly bitter in his heart.

How long will it take to meet the legendary alchemist Master Su?

Ever since.

He asked Elder Luo Xi to find an opportunity and secretly gave a large sum of spirit stones to one of the stewards, asking him to make concessions and report the matter.

It was also the first time that the old butler met such a generous monk. He took the money and went in happily to report.

After all, it was just a message. As long as the message was delivered, it was none of their business whether Young Master Su met them or not.
In Su Yuqing's study.

The spiritual fragrance was lingering in the air, and it was the third-level soul-cleansing incense that Qin Ming had given him.

Wisps of misty air permeate the house, immersing one's mind in tranquility.

Su Yuqing, dressed in white, was holding an ancient book and studying it.

at this time.

Outside the door, the old butler respectfully reported:

"Master Su, among the visiting cultivators outside, there is a member of the Luo family, a Jindan family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who is here to ask for elixirs."

"And the Luo family said they were willing to offer any conditions."

"They are sincere in their words and seem to have something important to tell you. Do you want to meet them?"

Su Yuqing heard this, put down the book in her hand, and murmured in surprise: "You really came to my door?"

"I don't know what Qin Ming is up to."

"But since he said hello, I have to accept it."

So, he directly said to the housekeeper outside: "Let the Luo family go back and tell them that my alchemy appointment quota for this year is full."

"Ah? This..." The old butler was helpless when he heard this.

Young Master Su is obviously either burning incense and making tea or fiddling with flowers and plants every day, so how could there be any appointment?

However, he did not dare to disobey Su Yuqing's words and had to do as she said.

"Yes! Master Su!"

After a while.

The Su family’s housekeeper returned to the mountain gate and found the Luo family’s people. He said with a somewhat embarrassed look, “Senior Luo, my young master said that the appointments for alchemy this year are already fully booked.”

"And you can't jump the queue or take on alchemy commissions for the time being. Why don't you look somewhere else?"

"So as not to delay your important matters."

Luo Chen and Luo Xi had been waiting outside anxiously, looking forward to it.

I didn't expect to get this result.
"Manager Su, can you ask Grandmaster Su to be more flexible?"

"We, the Luo family, can afford any price."

"If this can be accomplished, our Luo family of the Great Zhou will owe Master Su a huge favor."

"I will accept any errand you may give me in the future!"

Elder Luo Xi wanted to try again, but he was somewhat unwilling to give up.

The old butler still sighed and said, "Senior Luo, please go back. I have tried, and Master Su really can't spare the time."

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you all."

Luo Chen stared at the interior of the Su family from afar, and had no choice but to grit his teeth and say to Luo Xi: "Let's go."

The two of them looked extremely unhappy and left the place in shame.

They came all the way to Dajin and encountered two setbacks in a row. Anyone would be in a bad mood.

On the Dharma Boat, Luo Chen sounded somewhat depressed.

"What should I do? Time is running out. I didn't expect that the Nine Yang Soul-Renewing Pill is so difficult to obtain."

Elder Luo Xi thought for a moment and said slowly:

"Master, how about this? The Nine Yang Soul-Replenishing Pill is not the only way to heal the soul."

"Other spiritual objects in heaven and earth can also be used, but their effects are not as good as the Nine Yang Soul-Renewing Pill."

"We can only settle for the next best thing."

"We can secretly keep an eye on the major immortal cities and markets to see if there are any such spiritual creatures."

"If it doesn't work out in the end, even if it means suffering some losses and taking more risks, we can only ask Jingxue Pavilion to intervene."

"Alas, I don't know why Shopkeeper Lu has such a big face, but we can't ask to see Master Sultan?"

Luo Chen nodded slowly after hearing this.

……

……

A few days later.

Hua Tianxiong received the news. He walked into the hall with a sly smile on his face and reported to Qin Ming:
"Hehehe! Master, Grandmaster Su sent back news that the people from the Luo family really came to ask him to make pills, but Grandmaster Su has already refused."

"It is said that the Luo family has been unable to obtain the elixir, and has been searching for spiritual materials in all the major immortal cities and markets. It seems that they are not giving up." Hua Tianxiong has great admiration for Qin Ming in his heart, and it seems that he has already won over the Luo family.

"Well, wait until they find you again and then we'll see."

Qin Ming nodded. He estimated that it wouldn’t be long before someone from the Luo family would come to find him again.

"Yes! Master!" Hua Tianxiong replied respectfully, "If there is nothing else, I won't bother you anymore. I will leave first."

"If you need anything here, just tell me."

Qin Ming immediately called him over, took out a list from the table and handed it to Hua Tianxiong, "Help me collect these spiritual medicines and materials on it."

"Yes!" Hua Tianxiong took the list and took a look. There were dozens of spiritual materials densely recorded on it.

He asked hesitantly, "Master, could the spiritual materials recorded here be the materials needed to refine the Nine Yang Soul-Renewing Pill?"

"That's right, I already have some spiritual materials in my hands. What I asked you to collect are the remaining auxiliary materials, which should not be difficult to get." Qin Ming said lightly.

When Hua Tianxiong heard this, he knew that Qin Ming was going to refine the Nine Yang Soul-Renewing Pill himself.

But he knew that Qin Ming's attainments in alchemy were superb, not much worse than Grandmaster Su Yuqing.

He then stopped asking questions and went to the market to purchase materials.

Take this free time.

Qin Ming left the hospital and went to the Jingxue Pavilion branch in Wuxingshan Market.

Old Jia was at the front desk, clacking away on his abacus and checking the accounts, when he saw 'Shopkeeper Lu' come in.

He quickly put down the work in his hands, put on a smile and went over to greet him.

"Manager Lu, have you finished your work on the spiritual farm?"

"Lu'e, why don't you quickly make a pot of premium tea for Shopkeeper Lu?"

"Forget it, I'll do it myself."

Old Jia was very efficient. After welcoming Qin Ming into the private room on the fourth floor, he made him a pot of spiritual tea and ordered someone to prepare some spiritual fruits for him.

"Mr. Jia, how is the business in the store recently?"

Qin Ming took a sip of the spiritual tea, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked lightly.

"Hehehe! Thanks to you, this quarter's revenue has increased a lot compared to before." Lao Jia quickly handed the account book in his hand to Qin Ming for inspection.

Qin Ming just flipped through it casually and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, not bad."

"I guess Pavilion Master Gu will reward you again at the end of this year."

"My abilities are not even worthy of mention. If it weren't for you, Manager Lu, how could our Jingxue Pavilion have such influence in Dajin?"

"Shopkeeper Lu is the one who has made the real contribution."

Lao Jia replied very sensibly, but what he said was also true.

If Qin Ming had not taken over the Five Elements Mountain Spiritual Field, planted various kinds of spiritual rice, and refined the exclusive third-level soul-cleansing incense, he would have become famous.

Jingxue Pavilion is probably still groping in the corners of Lingxu Market.

"Well, let's not talk about this."

"By the way, has anything big happened in the market in the past few days?" Qin Ming asked.

Old Jia recalled and was about to shake his head, but his eyes suddenly lit up and said:

"If Shopkeeper Lu hadn't asked, I would have almost forgotten about it."

"Recently, there was something going on in the Wuxing Mountain Market that caused quite a stir."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Qin Ming asked puzzledly.

Lao Jia explained: "I heard that the Wandao Merchant Alliance is going to organize an auction recently, and someone has commissioned the Merchant Alliance to auction a piece of Xinghai Shenteng."

"And the vintage grade seems to be quite high."

"Many monks came here because of its reputation. I guess they all came here for this thing."

"The Star Sea Divine Vine, one of the five sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation?"

"Is the news reliable?" Qin Ming put down the teacup in his hand and asked in surprise.

However, this made him smell a strange scent.

Because the greatest benefit of this Star Sea God Vine, like the Soul-Nourishing Tree, is that it has the effect of strengthening and repairing the soul.

In conjunction with the Luo family, they have been searching everywhere for medicines to treat the soul.

Qin Ming even suspected that someone was secretly setting up a trap, using the Star Sea God Vine to fish and lure someone into the trap.

Old Jia seemed to see that Qin Ming was quite interested in the legendary Star Sea God Vine, so he asked cautiously:

"The shopkeeper has set his eyes on the Star Sea Divine Vine? If so, our Jingxue Pavilion can also participate in the auction. After all, the funds on the books of each store are very sufficient recently."

"It's naturally no problem if it comes from the Wandao Business Alliance."

"If you need it, I can take it back for you."

Qin Ming shook his head when he heard this. "We don't know what the situation is yet. Let's not act rashly. Let's wait and see what happens."

"When does this auction start?"

"Wandao Business Alliance has set the date on the 15th of next month." Lao Jia replied.

"Okay, I get it, go ahead and do your work."

Qin Ming raised his hand to wave Lao Jia away and started thinking alone.

……

Half a month later.

Hua Tianxiong collected all the spiritual materials on the list and handed them to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming took some time to look through the recipe of the Nine Yang Soul-Renewing Pill several times, and then started to refine it in the courtyard.

This elixir recipe was recorded in the "Yuan Dao Dan Jing" given to him by Su Yuqing, and it also described the elixir refining steps and experience in great detail.

Obviously Su Yuqing has refined it more than once.

For Qin Ming, refining this pill was not difficult at all.

It is much simpler than the Shenmu Dan.

Only three days later.

In Hua Tianxiong's courtyard, there was a strong and strange fragrance, accompanied by the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth when a high-level elixir was formed.

However, they were all hidden and isolated by the high-level formations and restrictions set up in the yard.

Inside the room, Qin Ming made a move towards the third-grade superior Wind-Thunder Cauldron, and three elixirs emitting colorful light fell into his hands.

Hua Tianxiong was watching eagerly from the side, he witnessed the process of Qin Ming refining the elixir just now.

It can be said to be extremely smooth and flowing.

It really opened his eyes.

When he went to Lihuo Palace to do work for Elder Qian, he was fortunate enough to see the Yuanying Sect's third-level alchemy grandmaster making pills.

But compared with Qin Ming's level, it is nothing.
