Special Lottery, Alchemy Skill?

Chapter 033: Special Draw, Alchemy?

After meeting Qin An, Qin Shaofeng was summoned by Old Master Qin.

From Qin An, Old Master Qin learned that Wu Sancai had been killed by Qin Shaofeng, and he was extremely shocked.

Although Old Master Qin had already heard the general details of the incident from Qin An, he still wanted to hear the specifics from Qin Shaofeng.

But when he learned that Qin Shaofeng's current realm was already Houtian Seventh Layer, he was shocked again.

How many days had it been, and this kid had already advanced to Houtian Seventh Layer?

This was so incredible that even his own son, whom he had once prided himself on as a genius, Qin Shaofeng's father, was far inferior!

However, it was precisely because of these things that Old Master Qin finally stopped asking Qin Shaofeng any more questions.

According to his words, no matter what, Qin Shaofeng, you are my grandson, and this fact will not change even if something happens to you.

Hearing these words, Qin Shaofeng thought that Old Master Qin had noticed his soul fusion.

But after a conversation, Qin Shaofeng vaguely understood that according to his grandfather's words, he probably thought Qin Shaofeng had encountered some fortuitous encounter and apprenticed himself to a powerful master, rather than knowing about his soul fusion.

However, Qin Shaofeng didn't explain much about this, because it was for the best, and it relieved him of any psychological burden towards Old Master Qin.

After talking with Old Master Qin, Qin Shaofeng finally returned to his room.

Besides the exhaustion from the previous journey, Qin Shaofeng had not gained nothing. In fact, he had gained a great benefit.

That was, after that journey, his Yi Jin Jing had finally been upgraded.

Yi Jin Jing: Level 2, 15/1000. A Saint-grade passive skill. Although not a God-grade cultivation technique, this technique is quite special, incorporating another cultivation technique created by Old Ancestor Bodhidharma, the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, thus possessing the powerful ability of strengthening tendons and cleansing the marrow. Currently at Level 2, it can increase the player's Inner Qi to five times the original amount. (Level 2 Yi Jin Jing can recover 5 points of Inner Qi per minute.)

With Yi Jin Jing at Level 2, not only did the multiplier for Inner Qi increase from three times to five times, but the Inner Qi recovered per minute also increased from 1 point to 5 points.

This was a significant change.

With this change, Qin Shaofeng's Inner Qi surged by another tier, directly reaching 2500 points, an increase of a full 1000 points compared to before, given his current Houtian Seventh Layer realm.

This was good news for Qin Shaofeng.

After all, the more Inner Qi he had, the more powerful the Little Li Flying Dagger could unleash.

Even with only the strength of Houtian Seventh Layer, Qin Shaofeng was now confident that he could instantly kill Demonic Beasts at the peak of Houtian Tenth Layer, equivalent to the Houtian Tenth Layer realm, provided he had the opportunity.

Of course, this was assuming he had the chance.

And as his realm increased in the future, Qin Shaofeng's Inner Qi would also grow, making him stronger and stronger.

This made Qin Shaofeng even more eager for the next upgrade of Yi Jin Jing.

After looking at the changes in Yi Jin Jing, Qin Shaofeng's gaze finally fell upon the reward for completing the three-star quest "Upgrade"—a chance to draw.

However, Qin Shaofeng also noticed that this time, the chance he received was a special draw.

The first time Qin Shaofeng received a draw opportunity, it was just a normal draw.

Qin Shaofeng also discovered that under the System's draw section, there were two options: Normal and Special.

Of course, this didn't mean that Normal draws were inferior to Special draws, otherwise, Qin Shaofeng wouldn't have drawn a God-grade skill like the Little Li Flying Dagger.

The distinction existed because the Special draw section contained only special skills and special items.

Skills and items obtained from Normal draws were not necessarily usable immediately.

It was Qin Shaofeng's good luck the first time to draw a skill like the Little Li Flying Dagger, which had no restrictions. What if he had drawn a skill that required certain conditions, or perhaps some Saint-grade or God-grade pills?

Could Qin Shaofeng use them?

Qin Shaofeng had seen some powerful skills in the System, but they required prerequisites, such as having a specific physique or reaching a certain level before the player could learn them.

Not to mention Saint-grade or God-grade pills; even if such pills were given to Qin Shaofeng, with his current realm, taking them would be suicidal.

But skills and items in the Special draw section were different.

In the Special draw, no matter how powerful the skills and items were, they could be directly used by the player.

Furthermore, unlike Normal draws, Special draws would not yield useless or impractical items that offered no real benefit to the player.

Items like lighters or mobile phones would never appear in a Special draw.

The items in the Special draw were all skills and items that would benefit the player, and they would never disappoint.

Therefore, Qin Shaofeng was secretly delighted to receive this special draw opportunity.

"Hmm, I wonder what kind of special reward I'll get this time? A special skill, or a special item?"

He muttered softly and immediately issued the draw command to the System.

The Special draw interface was very similar to the Normal draw interface, resembling a slot machine with one hundred small grids.

However, unlike the Normal draw, the hundred small grids did not display any names; they all emitted a uniform faint light.

This indicated that there were no restrictions on the draw items in the Special draw, making it even more anticipated than the explicitly listed items in the Normal draw.

"System prompt: Does player Qin Shaofeng wish to use a draw opportunity for a Special draw?"

Soon, a prompt appeared from the System.

Yes!

He silently chanted in his mind, and the familiar slot machine music played, with the hundred small grids on the special lottery interface lighting up one by one.

After a while, the light finally stopped on a small grid. Then, that small grid flickered slightly, followed by a white light that shot out, passing directly through the System's attribute interface and into Qin Shaofeng's forehead, directly entering his mind.

Just then, the System suddenly let out a "ding-dong" system prompt.

"System Prompt: Congratulations to player Qin Shaofeng for obtaining the special skill Alchemy. Does player Qin Shaofeng wish to learn the special skill Alchemy?"

Alchemy?

After hearing the System's prompt, Qin Shaofeng was first surprised, then overjoyed.

Alchemy, as the name suggests, was the skill of refining pills, wasn't it?

This was a great thing!

As he thought about being able to refine pills, and then thought about the dazzling array of countless pills he had seen in the System Store.

Qin Shaofeng suddenly became a little excited and couldn't help but shout, "Yes, I want to learn Alchemy!"

Buzz!

The moment Qin Shaofeng said "yes," he felt a slight tremor in his mind, and then the System prompt sounded again.

"System Prompt: Congratulations to player Qin Shaofeng for obtaining the special skill Alchemy!"

Alchemy: Level 1 (0/100), Special Skill, can refine pills. Success rate depends on the level of Alchemy and the pills being refined. The higher the level, the greater the success rate and the higher the grade of pills that can be refined. Currently at Level 1, allowing the player to refine Mortal-grade pills.

(Note: Level 1 Alchemy requires a certain amount of Inner Qi each time it is activated. Refining Mortal-grade One-star pills consumes 10 Inner Qi; refining Mortal-grade Two-star pills consumes 20 Inner Qi; refining Mortal-grade Three-star pills consumes 30 Inner Qi.)

"Haha, it really is Alchemy!"

Looking at the attributes of Alchemy, Qin Shaofeng laughed heartily again, his face full of smiles.

Looking at this Alchemy skill, he even seemed to see countless pills beckoning to him in a daze.

"With this Alchemy skill, even without Points, I won't be short of pills."

Qin Shaofeng said excitedly, then suddenly remembered something and quickly ran to a corner of the room, rummaging around.

After searching for a while, Qin Shaofeng finally found what he was looking for – more than ten stalks of Qi Yuan Grass.

These more than ten stalks of Qi Yuan Grass were the last ones Qin Shaofeng had obtained in the Black Horn Mountain Range and hadn't used up yet.

Qi Yuan Grass was the medicinal ingredient needed to refine Qi Replenishing Pills. Since he now had Alchemy, Qin Shaofeng naturally wanted to try refining Qi Replenishing Pills himself.

However, after finding the Qi Yuan Grass, Qin Shaofeng realized he was still missing a crucial tool: a cauldron for refining pills.

Even with the Alchemy skill, one still needed to equip a cauldron to refine pills.

Thinking of this, Qin Shaofeng rushed out of the room again to find a cauldron.

To try out the joy of refining pills as soon as possible, Qin Shaofeng walked very quickly, not even noticing Little Yue'er playing with Bai Xue outside his room. This made the little girl curious for a moment.

Half an hour later, Qin Shaofeng returned looking dejected.

Because after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any pill-refining cauldrons in the Qin Manor. There were plenty of incense burners for worshipping gods, but could those be used for refining pills?

Qin Shaofeng did not agree with that.

However, Qin Shaofeng did not return completely empty-handed.

In the end, out of desperation, Qin Shaofeng made a decision that would completely stun any alchemist.

Since he couldn't find any pill-refining cauldrons, Qin Shaofeng finally went directly to the kitchen and asked Qin Dabao for a large pot.

That's right, a large pot!

In the absence of a pill-refining cauldron, the first thing Qin Shaofeng thought of as a substitute was the large cooking pot in the kitchen.

In Qin Shaofeng's opinion, the difference between a cooking pot and a pill-refining cauldron shouldn't be that significant.

But among alchemists, even the slightest bit normal novice alchemist would never think of using a large pot as a substitute for a cauldron.

Because the idea was too bizarre and too reckless.

But Qin Shaofeng not only had this idea, he actually did it!

When Little Yue'er saw Qin Shaofeng return with a large pot, she was startled and became even more curious. She couldn't help but follow Qin Shaofeng, wanting to see what he was planning to do.

Qin Shaofeng didn't pay attention to this. In fact, subconsciously, he wanted to show off in front of Little Yue'er.

Then, after successfully refining a Qi Replenishing Pill, he would proudly say to the little girl, "Your young master is also an alchemist now."
