After seeing Qin Ming, Gu Qingzhao hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Why not, Fellow Daoist Qin, join them in pooling resources for alchemy? The materials you have are enough to qualify."
"I can introduce you."
Qin Ming frowned slightly upon hearing this and pondered for a long while before asking, "May I ask about Alchemist Sun Jinian's success rate and pill quality when refining Foundation Establishment Pills?"
"About thirty percent. If luck is on his side, perhaps forty percent. Alchemist Sun is a Second-Order Alchemist of the upper grade, so this success rate is already relatively high," Gu Qingzhao explained.
