Chapter 108: A Turn for the Better

Chapter 108: A Turn for the Better

Gu Qingzhao, after seeing Qin Ming, hesitated for a moment and said.

"Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Qin, why not join them in Joint Pill Refining? The Material you have is also enough Qualification."

"I can introduce you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and asked, "May I ask Pill Master Sun Jinnian, what is the Pill Success Rate and Pill Quality when refining this Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"It's about thirty percent, and if luck is better, it's forty percent. Pill Master Sun is a Second-Order High-Grade Alchemist, so this Pill Success Rate is already considered very high," Gu Qingzhao explained.

"As for Pill Quality, there will occasionally be situations where one or two Excellent Quality Foundation Establishment Pills are produced, but the probability is very low."

As soon as Qin Ming heard this, he immediately felt that the risk was too high and not stable enough.

If it failed, then the Material he had painstakingly accumulated over the past few years would all be in vain.

Moreover, his original goal was not Common Quality Foundation Establishment Pills, but at least High-Grade Level, and of course, Top-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill would be even better.

Even if it was Joint Pill Refining of Foundation Establishment Pills, how to distribute the Pills was still a problem, and the initiative was not in his own hands.

At that time, Pill Master Sun would definitely take a cut.

In the best case, he would at most get one Pill.

With his Aptitude, one Foundation Establishment Pill was really not reliable enough.

Qin Ming weighed the pros and cons and decided to keep the initiative in his own hands.

"Daoist Friend Gu, I have thought about it, and I have decided to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill myself."

"Have you heard any news about who has the Main Material Jade Marrow Fungus?" Qin Ming stated his decision and then asked.

Gu Qingzhao smiled calmly upon hearing this, as if she had expected Qin Ming to say so.

"I have already inquired about the situation clearly. The Main Material for refining Foundation Establishment Pill, Jade Marrow Fungus, is in the hands of Shen Yuanxiong, the Family Clan Leader of the Shen Family in West of the City."

"Shen Yuanxiong is an Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator. I guess the reason he initiated Crowdfunding Materials for Pill Refining is to seek Foundation Establishment Pills for the descendants of his Family Clan."

Qin Ming was quite puzzled, "I wonder where Shen Yuanxiong obtained the Jade Marrow Fungus from?"

"It is said that his ancestor was once an Elder of the Shennong Sect. When he was in office, he made outstanding contributions and was bestowed several treasures by the Sect. This Jade Marrow Fungus is one of them."

"Later, he suffered serious injuries and severed his Foundation of the Immortal Path, so he came to Azure Sea Immortal City to settle down and establish a Family Clan to branch out."

"The Foundation Establishment Pill that Shen Yuanxiong used when he achieved Foundation Establishment was also obtained through Crowdfunding Materials Pill Refining by providing the Main Material Jade Marrow Fungus more than ten years ago."

"I really didn't expect that the Jade Marrow Fungus in his hands is not just one portion."

Gu Qingzhao said slowly.

Qin Ming's heart was filled with hope upon hearing this.

So he said to her, "Then, is Daoist Friend Gu familiar with the Shen Family? If possible, could you please introduce me?"

Gu Qingzhao pondered slightly and then said:

"The Shen Family is a Rune-making Clan, and we Mirror Snow Pavilion still have cooperation with them, so I can naturally introduce Fellow Daoist Qin."

"However, whether you can obtain the Jade Marrow Fungus next depends on fate."

"After all, Shen Yuanxiong is going to Crowdfunding Materials for Pill Refining, and he probably won't easily sell the Jade Marrow Fungus in his hands."

Qin Ming nodded, and then followed Gu Qingzhao out of Mirror Snow Pavilion and headed towards the Shen Family in West of the Inner City.

After Incense Stick Duration.

Gu Qingzhao brought Qin Ming to the front of the Shen Family Grand Courtyard gate.

After the gatekeeper went in to report.

The gate opened, and an old man in luxurious clothes with a short and fat figure, with Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation, walked out from inside.

He greeted them with a smile and bowed to Gu Qingzhao, "So it is Pavilion Lord Gu, Your Esteemed Presence!"

"Please come into My Humble Home and have a seat."

It seemed that this person was Shen Yuanxiong.

Shen Yuanxiong also glanced at Qin Ming. He had never seen Pavilion Lord Gu of Mirror Snow Pavilion accompanied by a young male Cultivator before, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"May I ask who this is?" He smiled at Qin Ming and asked Gu Qingzhao.

Gu Qingzhao said calmly, "This is Fellow Daoist Qin, he is an Honorary Guest Elder of our Pavilion."

As soon as the other party said this, Shen Yuanxiong instantly understood. However, such a young Honored Guest must be extraordinary. So he politely greeted Qin Ming as well, "Fellow Daoist Qin, please come inside for some Spirit Tea."

Then the two entered the Shen Family Large Courtyard.

But as soon as he entered the door, Qin Ming was stunned.

Because at this moment, more than twenty Cultivators were gathered in the Shen Family Large Courtyard, most of whom were Rogue Cultivators.

It seemed that these Cultivators were all here for the Joint Pill Refining matter.

It was estimated that after Shen Family's screening, only four or five would remain here.

Shen Yuanxiong led the two to a room, closed the door, and cast a Soundproofing Barrier, then asked, "May I ask if Pavilion Lord Gu and Fellow Daoist Qin have come to My Humble Home today also for the matter of Joint Pill Refining?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming told the other party his purpose truthfully.

And offered generous Conditions.

Shen Yuanxiong's face showed a look of embarrassment. After a long while, he slowly said, "Pavilion Lord Gu is not an outsider, so I can tell you two the truth."

"I do have two portions of Jade Marrow Fungus left here, but they are also the last of my stock."

"If it weren't for my unworthy son still having a day to reach Perfected Qi Condensation Stage, I wouldn't have even considered taking them out."

"All my hopes are pinned on this, and there is absolutely no room for error."

"So I'm afraid I will have to disappoint Fellow Daoist Qin."

Qin Ming frowned upon hearing this. He pondered for a moment, and then decisively said, "Then how about this, I will also reveal my bottom line to Senior Shen, can you give one portion of Jade Marrow Fungus to me for Pill Refinement."

"After the Pill is successfully refined, I can also give Senior Shen one Foundation Establishment Pill as a share."

Shen Yuanxiong's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he looked at Qin Ming in disbelief, then glanced at Gu Qingzhao next to him, "This, Pavilion Lord Gu, could it be that Fellow Daoist Qin is…"

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Qin is also a Tier 2 Grandmaster Alchemist," Gu Qingzhao nodded gently and replied with great certainty.

Shen Yuanxiong then realized that he had still underestimated the unremarkable Qin Ming in front of him.

No wonder.

"So Fellow Daoist Qin is actually a Tier 2 Grandmaster Alchemist, please forgive my poor eyesight!" Shen Yuanxiong recovered from his shock, and then asked, "May I ask if Fellow Daoist Qin has ever refined Foundation Establishment Pills before?"

Qin Ming answered frankly upon hearing this, "Not yet, mainly due to lack of Spirit Material."

"However, Senior Shen, please Rest Assured, I am still very confident in refining Foundation Establishment Pills."

Gu Qingzhao also helped to say, "I can vouch for this. Fellow Daoist Qin has already successfully refined the Youth Preservation Pill, which is quite difficult to refine among Second-Order Pill Medicine."

Shen Yuanxiong was stunned when he heard this. Since he had never refined it even once, where did such confidence come from?

Moreover, he saw that Qin Ming was only Late Qi Condensation Stage Cultivation and so young. He was also hearing about this person for the first time, and he didn't quite trust his Pill Refinement level.

It seemed like a newly promoted Second-Order Pill Refiner, a bit too young and vigorous.

Shen Yuanxiong thought of this and had already made a decision.

Even with Pavilion Lord Gu's guarantee, he couldn't gamble with his Family Clan's Immortal Path.

He pondered for a moment and still said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I have already reached an Agreement with Pill Master Sun Jinnian. These two portions of Jade Marrow Fungus must all be handed over to him for Pill Refinement."

Qin Ming was greatly disappointed upon hearing this.

It seemed that the other party still didn't trust him, but this was also normal.

"Hmm… but, I do have another portion of Jade Marrow Fungus here, but it is Spiritually Impaired and has Weak Medicinal Efficacy…"

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qin can use it. If you need it, I can sell it to you."

Qin Ming had originally planned to leave with disappointment, but unexpectedly, there was a turn for the better.

His eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly said:

"Really!"

Shen Yuanxiong nodded, and then took out a long Jade Box from his Storage Bag and opened its lid.

A Jade Marrow Fungus as crystal clear as jadeite, appeared in the sight of Qin Ming and the other two.

There will be more later tonight.

Thank you Fellow Daoists for your votes and subscriptions.
