Chapter 1640 Free Refining
The Emperor of the Pills came to Crouching Tiger City. This was a rare good thing that happened once in a thousand years. Naturally, it could not be neglected. Therefore, the True Lord of Crouching Tiger opened the central gate and led a group of cultivators from Crouching Tiger City to welcome Qingyang in respectfully.
Qingyang was taken all the way to the City Lord's Mansion of Crouching Tiger City and arranged in the best courtyard in the entire City Lord's Mansion. This was not only the decision of the True Lord of Crouching Tiger and others, but also the request of several demon kings in Hengyun Mountain. For the Emperor of the Pills like Qingyang, no respect was too much.
After arranging Qingyang's residence, everyone couldn't wait to sit down in his reception room and began to discuss the matter of alchemy. The True Lord of Crouching Tiger was the first one. As an old-fashioned Yuanying cultivator who had practiced for 900 years, his collection was naturally not small. He casually took out seven or eight kinds of materials for Yuanying-level pills, almost all of which were Yuanying-level pill materials.
Some of these pills had been refined by Qingyang, some had been seen or heard of but had never been refined, and some had never even been heard of. However, as a senior pill emperor, these were not difficult for him. Even if he had never heard of them, as long as he got the pill formula, he would have a success rate of more than 20%. It was just a waste of a few more materials, and he would definitely be able to refine them successfully.
Afterwards, Hongguang Zhenjun, Fengluan Zhenjun and other four Yuanying cultivators in Crouching Tiger City also took out a lot of pill refining materials, adding up to more than 20 kinds, all kinds of pills, some to assist in combat; some to improve strength; some with special functions such as detoxification, healing, longevity, and barrier removal; that is, Qingyang was knowledgeable in pill techniques, otherwise he might not have recognized them all.
As for the monster kings in Hengyun Mountain, the materials they took out were even rarer. Perhaps because Hengyun Mountain was stronger and had a larger area, they got more good things. Or perhaps because the monster kings didn't like the bad materials, the materials taken out by Xiaotian Monster King and others were better than those taken out by the Yuanying cultivators in Crouching Tiger City, but the quantity was much smaller. The four monster kings only had a dozen kinds of elixirs in total.
After checking all the materials, Qingyang said, "You are not outsiders, I will speak directly. The Taoist friends in Crouching Tiger City took the initiative to give me the qualification for the pre-selection of the Ten Thousand Spirits Association. The demon kings of Hengyun Mountain also spoke up for me. I am very grateful for this. The refining of these pills you prepared is actually an opportunity for me to learn. Let me help you refine some pills for free as a thank you. The limit for Crouching Tiger City is 25 pills, and the limit for Hengyun Mountain is 15 pills. We will discuss the excess separately. What do you think?"
In the Demon Spirit Realm, the status of alchemists is respected, especially the Alchemy Emperor who stands at the top. He is even more praised. Even if some cultivators from major forces ask them to refine pills, they have to prepare generous gifts and come to discuss in person. It depends on the other party's mood. For smaller forces like Crouching Tiger City and Hengyun Mountain, it is even more difficult. They may not be able to get in even with gifts.
Because of this, they collected a large amount of materials, but could not find anyone to help them refine them. They could only keep them in the storage bag. They thought that even if Qingyang was easy to talk to, he was at least noble. When they took out the materials, they were already thinking about what conditions would impress Qingyang and how much reward they would need to pay to make Qingyang take action. Who knew that Qingyang did not mention any conditions and was willing to help them refine the pills. How could they miss such a good thing?
Crouching Tiger Master could not help but sigh: "This pre-selection qualification for the All Spirits Association is useless to my Wohu City. Only by giving it to Taoist Qingyang can its value be brought into play. Moreover, this qualification was saved by Taoist Qingyang's great power. I will never forget the noble righteousness of Taoist Qingyang in Wohu City."
"Not only did Taoist Qingyang achieve the Nascent Soul at a young age, but he was also extremely powerful. He was also a rare Dan Emperor in the world, and his character was beyond words. I always thought that there could be no perfect people in this world, but I didn't expect to meet one today." Fengluan Master exclaimed.
The Demon King Xiaotian said, "I just said a few words last time, and I was generous to others. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Qingyang still kept it in mind. I'm really sorry." The Demon King Xuanjia suddenly turned around, bowed deeply to Qingyang, and then said in a deep voice, "I offended you many times before, but I was petty. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Qingyang would put aside the past and help us refine pills in Hengyun Mountain. I apologize to you here." Refining dozens of pills is only a matter of a few months for Qingyang. In addition to wasting some time, Qingyang does not need to pay any price, but can gain the improvement of alchemy and the friendship of these people, and can also repay the favor of Crouching Tiger City for giving the pre-selection qualification of the All Spirits Association. Why not do it? Qingyang had expected this result. He said calmly, "You are welcome. I haven't finished talking yet. I have refined some of the materials for the elixirs you provided before. The success rate should be high, but I have never touched some of them before. I cannot guarantee that they will succeed. If you fail, please don't blame me."
All the people present were Nascent Soul cultivators. They naturally understood this. Master Crouching Tiger said, "Daoist Qingyang is willing to help us refine for free. How can we ask for anything else? If we ask other Dan Emperors to help us refine the elixir, the reward must not be reduced at all. If the refining is successful, we need to pay extra rewards. If the refining fails, we will not be responsible. The client can only blame himself for his bad luck."
Master Hongguang said, "Daoist Qingyang, just refine it. We all know the rules of alchemists. Even if the refining fails, we will never have any complaints."
The Demon King Xiaotian said: "Fellow Daoist Qingyang, just refine it. It's hard to say anything else about us in Hengyun Mountain, but we definitely have no shortage of materials. I have prepared at least ten copies of each material for my elixir. You can use these materials as you like. No matter how many elixirs you refine in the end, you only need to give me one. I will buy the rest with spirit stones at the market price as a thank you to fellow Daoist Qingyang."
In short, everyone had only one attitude. Whatever Qingyang said was what they wanted. As long as they were willing to help them refine elixirs, Qingyang collected all the materials they took out and said: "In that case, I won't say anything. Give me half a year to help you refine the elixir."
In the Monster Spirit Realm, it often takes several months to make an appointment to queue up for a few elixirs. This fellow Daoist Qingyang actually spent only half a year to refine dozens of elixirs. I haven't heard of any elixir emperor in the Monster Spirit Realm being able to achieve this speed. The eyes of the Yuanying cultivators suddenly lit up. It seems that Qingyang's alchemy skills are even better than those of the elixir emperors.
