Is It Still Too Late to Leave the Medicine Gang?

No matter what kind of world you live in, being born into the right family is a skill.

"Why..."

Qin Yu sighed, leaned against the wall of the Cultivation Chamber, and looked up at the ceiling.

If I had some kind of heaven-defying bloodline, coupled with the system's support, I should have already broken through to the Dou Wang or even Dou Emperor level, right?

Of course, the bonuses from the "Earth Sovereign" attribute are still very powerful, but Qin Yu feels that this attribute is more likely to be effective in the later stages of the game.

The stronger you are, the more powerful the effect.

Once he advances to the Dou Wang level and begins to be able to mobilize the power of the surrounding world, the effects of the Earth Sovereign might experience a major surge.

There's nothing we can do; if you're not born with certain bloodlines and physical constitutions, there's a high chance you won't have them later in life.

Unless it's someone like the Ice Venerable of Ice River Valley with a post-natally created Woeful Poison Body, or Xiao Yan who absorbed the bloodlines of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

Otherwise, Qin Yu really wouldn't have imagined that in the original story, there was someone else who obtained a heaven-defying bloodline through a chance encounter.

"I wonder if I'll be able to draw a bloodline-related entry next time."

Qin Yu quickly adjusted his mindset and regained his spirits.

After all, at the current pace, my advancement speed will definitely be even faster than before.

The prerequisite is that you Fire Energy to sustain it.

Several days passed during Qin Yu's cultivation.

"Sister Zi Yan, he really hasn't come back. He's been cultivating at the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower for several days now."

In the dormitory, Xiao Yi Xian looked at Little Zi Yan, who was drooling almost to the ground, and said helplessly.

"Ugh... really, such a small amount at a time, who's going to eat that much?"

Zi Yan's face drooped visibly, as if shrouded in a small dark cloud.

"It's not like if I refine more, you'll be able to eat for a few more days."

Suddenly, Qin Yu's voice rang out from behind.

"Why not? If you refine more, I can definitely eat for a few more days!"

Zi Yan grinned, showing her two little tiger teeth, and said indignantly.

Are you sure you won't take half of the pills in one day just because you have enough?

"I..."

Qin Yu's words were undoubtedly a fatal blow to Zi Yan, because...

Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife.

Zi Yan knew very well that if Qin Yu really made more pills for her, she would definitely do as he said and consume more than half of them in a day!

"Hmph, I'm not going to argue with you... You advanced?"

Zi Yan angrily turned her head to the side, but after realizing Qin Yu's strength Two-Star Dou Ling, she turned her head back.

"Yes, the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower's effects are quite noticeable."

Xiao Yi Xian listened quietly from the side; Qin Yu's words made her want to go and see the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.

However, because of his own Woeful Poison Body and the peculiar nature of the Fallen Heart Flame, Qin Yu was worried that Xiao Yi Xian might encounter an accident when entering the tower, so he didn't let her come along.

After refining ten batches of small pills for Zi Yan, Qin Yu finally sent the little girl away.

Ten batches of small pills should be enough for this girl to advance to the Three-Star Dou Ling level, right?

"She's quite clingy to you."

Xiao Yi Xian watched Zi Yan skip and hop away into the distance, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"She's sticking the pills to me, not me."

Qin Yu spoke the truth and turned to walk back into the house.

Xiao Yi Xian followed behind him, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:

"Um... Qin Yu, I also want to go and see the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower."

Qin Yu paused, turning to look at her.

Xiao Yi Xian's expression was very serious, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"You... are worried about my health?"

"Nonsense."

Qin Yu didn't deny it, and reached out to ruffle her hair.

"The Heart Flame of the Fallen Heart Flame has a tempering effect on Dou Qi, but your Woeful Poison Body..."

Given the unique nature of the Woeful Poison Body, who knows what might happen if it were rashly tempered with Heart Flame?

"I know, that's why I want you to come with me. If we really can't enter the tower to cultivate, so be it. At least I tried, right?"

"OK."

After a moment of silence, Qin Yu nodded and said solemnly:

"But when I go with you, you have to listen to me."

"Okay."

Xiao Yi Xian smiled and tiptoed to kiss him on the cheek.

"Then it's settled."

Qin Yu touched the spot where he had been kissed, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"I'll go to the Medicine Gang first and talk to Shen Yuan about something."

"Okay, go ahead."

Xiao Yi Xian waved her hand, turned around, and went back into the house.

Qin Yu took out the five Fifth-Rank Pill from his Storage Ring and weighed them in his hand.

The week given by Elder Huo is almost up. After visiting the Medicine Gang, I'll hand in this "homework".

The Medicine Gang occupies a considerable area in the Inner Academy.

Qin Yu stood at the door, glanced up at the Medicine Gang sign hanging above, and was about to go in when an impatient voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Make way, make way, don't block the way."

Qin Yu turned his head and saw a young man in his early twenties standing behind him, his chin slightly raised, looking impatient.

One-Star Da Dou Shi.

They're not very capable, but they certainly have a big presence.

Qin Yu didn't move, he just glanced at him indifferently.

Seeing that Qin Yu didn't move aside, the young man frowned and his tone became even more aggressive:

"Hey you, are you deaf? Don't loiter around our Medicine Gang's entrance if you have nothing to do."

As he spoke, he reached out and pushed Qin Yu's shoulder.

The next second, the young man felt a blur before his eyes, a tremendous force came from his chest, the ground in his vision suddenly shrank, and he felt a sense of weightlessness.

Qin Yu treated it as if he had just shooed away a fly, casually flicked his palm, and then stepped into the gate of the Medicine Gang.

As soon as he entered, Qin Yu noticed a large crowd gathered not far away.

With a curious mindset, Qin Yu also went over to watch the spectacle, only to see a young man concentrating intently on refining medicine.

Shen Yuan.

Qin Yu moved closer, wanting to see just how good this guy's alchemy skills were.

People around were whispering, their voices tinged with anticipation.

"Should the Boss's Golden Origin Pill be successful?"

"It failed once last time, but this time the heat control seems pretty good."

"Although the Golden Origin Pill is not as difficult to refine as the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, it is still among the most difficult of the fourth-grade pills to produce."

Qin Yu stood on the periphery of the crowd, his hands tucked into his sleeves, watching quietly.

Shen Yuan's technique was quite skillful; he controlled the fire, added the medicine, and refined it, performing each step meticulously without any major flaws.

He certainly possesses the skill level of Four-Grade Alchemist.

but...

Qin Yu watched for a while, then his brows twitched slightly.

This Golden Origin Pill was still a bit lacking, but Qin Yu didn't speak up at this moment.

As the people around said, the Golden Origin Pill is quite difficult to refine. If an ordinary Four-Grade Alchemist can refine it, it can already be considered a success.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Shen Yuan suddenly extinguished the fire, and a golden pill flew out of the cauldron, which he steadily held in his fingertips.

"It's done!"
