Checking in with Goddess Lin Fei: Reward of 100 Bottles of Sixth-Tier Green Underworld Longevity Pills
Although Qian Ye didn't want anything in return, and had no personal gain, only wanting to help her vent her anger—which should have been something to be happy about—she felt no joy at all after hearing it. Instead, she felt empty inside, and she didn't know why.
Doesn't he care about himself at all?
Or perhaps he never cared about me at all?
"Miss Xue, are you an alchemist?" Qian Ye asked.
"Yes, Third-Tier Alchemist." Xue Mei, who was lost in thought, immediately responded after hearing his words.
"Me too... but not as high as Sister Mei, only second rank!" Lin Fei introduced herself as well.
Qian Ye nodded in agreement. They were evenly matched, like best friends. "Oh, actually, I'm also an alchemist."
"My lord, may I ask if you are a fifth-rank or a fourth-rank alchemist?" Lin Fei asked first. In her opinion, among all the alchemists in the entire Jia Ma Empire, the first was Elder Fa Ma of the Mist Yun Sect, a sixth-rank Gu He; the second was Fama, the president of the Alchemist Association, a fifth-rank alchemist; and the third was Mi Qie Er, the vice president of the Alchemist Association, and Elder Fu Yan, both fifth-rank alchemists. None of them were above the sixth rank.
Therefore, I don't think Qian Ye is a sixth-grade or higher alchemist; I just guess he's only Fifth-Tier Alchemist.
Xue Mei immediately looked at him, also wanting to know what rank of alchemist he was.
Qian Ye: "Fifth rank, fourth rank is nothing. Actually, I'm one rank higher than fifth rank and one rank lower than eighth rank, I'm Seventh-Tier Apothecary. ൠ😾 👤👮"
"Furthermore, he's a seventh-grade high-level alchemist, and it's estimated he'll be breaking through to the eighth grade soon."
"Seventh rank!" The two stared in disbelief, as if they had heard something unbelievable.
However, it's not surprising that the two of them had never been to any other part of the continent except for the Jia Ma Empire. If they had gone to the Central Plains of the continent and visited Pill City, they would have known that there were many Seventh-Tier Apothecary there, and even some of them were eighth-grade or higher.
However, in the Jia Ma Empire, there is only one sixth-rank cultivator, Gu He, and in the Black-Corner Region, there is one sixth-rank cultivator, Han Feng. As for Xiao Yan, due to Qian Ye's interference, he is only at the advanced fifth-rank now.
"Seventh-Tier Apothecary? Isn't that a grade higher than Fa Ma Master Mist Yun Sect Gu He, who is a sixth-grade alchemist?" Lin Fei exclaimed excitedly.
Xue Mei was also extremely excited. Seventh rank! This is the seventh rank! Looking at Qian Ye sitting above her, she felt more and more that he was unattainable. She was only a third rank, and she was afraid that she would never reach his level in her entire life. How could she possibly be worthy of him!
"My lord, I was so used to how Fa Ma was to you, but now I realize that he's two ranks below you, a world of difference. One is rank five, the other rank seven, there's no comparison at all. And rank seven pills... tsk tsk tsk, I don't even dare to dream of it. If you were to produce just one rank seven pill, it would probably cause a sensation throughout the Jia Ma Empire." Lin Fei became more and more excited as she spoke.
Qian Ye listened to her words and didn't think they were an exaggeration, but rather the truth.
"Ding! Master, congratulations on checking in with Goddess Lin Fei! Reward: 100 bottles of Grade 6 Green Underworld Longevity Pill!"
The loli voice system said.
[Green Underworld Longevity Pill: A sixth-grade elixir that increases a person's lifespan by nearly ten years. Each person can only take one in their lifetime.]
Qian Ye smiled slightly. Although this pill was only of the sixth grade, one pill could increase one's lifespan by ten years, making it a truly good medicine.
"Well then, I don't have anything to give you since it's our first meeting, so I'll just give each of you a pill!" Qian Ye said, and two pills the size of longan, with Dragon Qi swirling around them, appeared in his hand.
Upon seeing this, their eyes immediately lit up.
I just don't understand what grade of pill this is.
"The Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill, a seventh-grade elixir, is suitable for anyone. Its effect is that after consuming this pill, if one is seriously injured or on the verge of death, luck will grant one the opportunity to break through past limitations and rise again. It breaks through past constraints, causing a metamorphosis, allowing one to reach a higher level in body, soul, and even Dou Qi. It is a double upgrade for both cultivation and the enhancement of an alchemist's Spiritual Strength."
"So this is the seventh-grade pill, the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill. Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation." Xue Mei's eyes burned with desire as she looked at the pill.
"Sister Mei, do you also know about this kind of pill?" Lin Fei asked curiously.
Xue Mei nodded. "I've heard my teacher mention it, but it was also Fa Ma who told me about it. It's like this, but this pill can only be refined by Seventh-Tier Apothecary with high-level strength, and the ingredients are not ordinary. First, you need the Monster Core of the Dragon Clan beast as a catalyst, which is not something that ordinary alchemists can obtain. So, to refine this pill, it's not something that can be done simply by having the level of Seventh-Tier Medicine Master."
"Moreover, one must be highly experienced; otherwise, if one fails, these precious medicinal herbs will not be available for refining. This is why this pill is extremely rare on the continent, and even if one does appear, it is fought over by powerful figures from all walks of life."
"Furthermore, I've heard that there are no more than a dozen people who know how to refine this pill, because it was created by an eighth-grade pharmacist who refined it all by himself."
"That's amazing!" Lin Fei looked at Qian Ye with admiration.
Without a word, Qian Ye threw the pills in front of the two of them. "One for each of you. Take them. If you take these seventh-grade pills out and don't have the ability to protect yourselves, you could be killed as soon as someone discovers them."
"Yes." The two were overjoyed and understood that Qian Ye's words were definitely not meant to scare them. Alchemist Association, if others found out, their lives would probably be in danger. Even if they offered it up voluntarily, the origin of the pill would still be investigated. Therefore, taking it was the safest option.
Lin Fei picked up the pill, looked at it, immediately opened her mouth, and swallowed it.
Then, Xue Mei glanced at Qian Ye, blushed, opened her mouth, and swallowed the pill.
Lin Fei patted her stomach, feeling that the medicine had been swallowed, and became satisfied. "That's great, the pill is already in my stomach, no one can take it away now, I'm so happy."
Xue Mei glanced at Qian Ye, and just smiled at Lin Fei's words. This girl is carefree and an optimist!
"Miss Xue, please stay here for now. I have something to discuss with you privately," Qian Ye said, looking at Xue Mei.
Xue Mei nodded slightly, indicating her agreement.
Lin Fei was a little disappointed. Asking Meijie to stay meant she was being asked to leave!
Somewhat displeased and unwilling, he knew this was the imperial palace, the residence of the Grand Preceptor, and he couldn't act recklessly, nor dared to insist on staying. He could only awkwardly rise and say, "In that case, I'll take my leave. But sir, when I come to visit another day, you can't refuse to see me, can you?"
Qian Ye simply smiled, watching Lin Fei's pretty figure disappear into the distance, thinking to himself, "That girl is no pushover either."
Then he stood up and said to Xue Mei, "Come with me?"
"Yes, sir." Xue Mei immediately got up and chased after him.
