Chapter 223 Burial God Pill
The feeling of being sheltered under someone's wings made Gu Qing feel a dull ache in her heart.
Luckily, he knew alchemy, otherwise he would have really been stuck with this freeloader.
Shaking his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, Gu Qing said, "Master, there are too many cultivators outside who need alchemy services. Could you help me take on some orders?"
"I still have some elixirs here. If Master has time, please help me sell them at Tianbao Trading Company."
"it is good."
Zhi Meng took the storage ring, glanced at it, and saw that there were more than 30 top-grade pills and 72 low-grade immortal pills of various grades that could be sold.
Selling these seventy-two elixirs would yield at least four or five million immortal crystals.
If we accept all the orders from those cultivators outside, we estimate we'll earn another ten million immortal crystals.
This was even with Gu Qing deliberately concealing his abilities.
If Gu Qing refines all the pills into top-grade ones, the profits could increase several dozen times.
Thinking of this, Zhi Meng felt both proud and guilty.
Unexpectedly, one day, she, Zhi Meng, would need to use her apprentice's resources.
If it were anyone else, receiving so many elixirs and having disciples who could continuously refine them would surely be overjoyed.
But Zhi Meng, who was strong-willed all her life, fell into deep reflection, realizing that she still hadn't tried hard enough.
Zhi Meng desperately wanted to become stronger so she could plunder treasures from the immortal realm and free Gu Qing from the need for alchemy.
With a determined look on her face, Zhi Meng walked out of the cave.
"We pay our respects to the fairy."
The cultivators who were waiting outside the cave immediately bowed respectfully to Zhi Meng upon seeing her, their posture humble and their smiles ingratiating.
After all, anyone who can freely enter and leave the cave must be one of Gu Qing's people.
They might even be from the same sect, and perhaps Zhi Meng could be an alchemist.
"Ok!"
Zhi Meng glanced around, her expression haughty, and spoke calmly.
"My junior brother is at a bottleneck in alchemy and plans to go into seclusion to comprehend the Dao of Alchemy. Of course, considering that you have been waiting here for a long time, each of you can only refine one batch of immortal pills at most."
"Furthermore, we'll increase the alchemy yield by another 10%. Do you have any objections?"
After harvesting these people, we should have enough immortal crystals. We should try our best to prevent Gu Qing from refining pills.
Improving one's cultivation level is of paramount importance.
Once you become a powerful person, countless people will rush to offer you treasures.
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled, and their expressions became extremely flustered.
It wasn't because of Zhi Meng's sudden price increase, but because they were afraid that Gu Qing would stop refining pills for them in the future.
Alchemists like Gu Qing, who have a 100% success rate in alchemy, are approachable, have no special requirements, and charge reasonable fees, are extremely rare.
They still have many elixirs they want Gu Qing to refine; they're willing to negotiate the price in immortal crystals.
After all, some special elixirs are priceless and unavailable.
So meeting Gu Qing was a stroke of luck for them; it was their destiny.
Now that Gu Qing has suddenly stopped taking orders, how can they not panic?
But no matter how panicked they were, it was useless; they couldn't force the alchemist.
"We are meaningless."
Everyone said in unison.
As for the sudden price increase, everyone seemed to have completely ignored it.
What a joke! Everyone knows that you can't bargain when it comes to alchemy.
If it's a good fit, we'll make the deal; if not, we'll just have to let it go.
After all, how many examples are there of alchemy failures caused by haggling over prices?
Don't let the elixir run out and you end up having to pay a sum of elixir crystals as compensation for your trouble.
Besides, even if Gu Qing raises the price by 10%, they will still make a profit, which is much more cost-effective than directly buying the elixir.
"it is good!"
Zhi Meng began collecting the storage ring, which contained contact information. Once the item was refined, she could send a message to have someone come and collect it.
“Fairy, I wish to meet with Alchemist Gu. Please inform him for me. I would be extremely grateful.”
The dejected young man, who had been squatting in the corner, suddenly stood up, clasped his hands in a salute, handed over his storage ring, and then sent a message to Zhi Meng in a sincere tone.
"He is my junior brother. If there's anything you need, just say it."
Zhi Meng glanced at him and responded telepathically, her meaning quite clear.
If the decadent youth doesn't produce a truly enticing treasure, then all talk is pointless.
Zheng Jianfeng hesitated for a moment, then transmitted his voice, "I have a Burial God Flower and want to refine a batch of Burial God Pills, but I don't have any other auxiliary immortal herbs or pill formulas."
"If Master Gu can refine them, I only need three Burial God Pills."
The Burial God Flower is a divine flower that absorbs the essence of a Heavenly God Realm cultivator after their fall, containing a portion of that cultivator's Dao Fruit.
It also contains the cultivator's obsession and murderous intent; without removing these, it cannot be directly refined.
Forcibly refining it will only be harmful and not beneficial, and may even lead to qi deviation, causing the body to explode and die.
If refined into the Burial God Pill, it can help the Divine Fire Realm break through to the Heavenly God Realm, increasing the success rate by 70%.
If a cultivator at the Celestial God Realm takes this, they will be guaranteed to break through a minor realm. It can be taken without limit and will not have any side effects.
At the same time, the Burial God Pill is also a healing and detoxifying elixir. Even if only a wisp of a soul remains, the Burial God Pill can restore the physical body.
In addition, the Burial God Pill has another miraculous effect: it can transform a person, improve their aptitude, and strengthen their soul.
The Burial God Pill possesses such heaven-defying effects that, although it is only a mid-grade immortal pill, its preciousness and rarity make it even more valuable than ordinary high-grade immortal pills.
The Burial God Flower is extremely rare; it doesn't grow after every Celestial God falls.
It requires a special region and special circumstances to have even the slightest possibility.
Moreover, it is one of the most difficult types of elixirs to refine among mid-level elixirs.
Even with the help of a high-level alchemist, the success rate is not high.
In conclusion, the Burial God Flower and the Burial God Pill are legendary divine objects.
When Zhi Meng led the person in, and heard that it was for refining the Burial God Pill, Gu Qing looked at the dejected young man with a bewildered expression.
It's as if it's saying, "Have you got the wrong person?"
Are you overestimating me?
Didn't you know that only high-level alchemists in the Profound God Realm can refine the Burial God Pill?
When Zheng Jianfeng met Gu Qing's gaze, his heart sank.
He knew that refining the Burial God Pill was difficult, but he didn't know that only high-level immortal alchemists in the Profound God Realm could refine it.
In fact, before asking Gu Qing to refine the Burial God Pill, he had thought it over carefully, with the mentality of trying anything as a last resort.
In his view, Gu Qing was very likely a mid-level alchemist who had concealed his cultivation level and rank.
Because he had observed Gu Qing for several months, and Gu Qing had not failed in alchemy even once.
If you say there's nothing fishy going on, he'd never believe you even if you beat him to death.
Of course, Zheng Jianfeng dared not voice these speculations.
"I can't refine the God-Burial Pill, and you can't find any other alchemists to refine it either."
Gu Qing shook his head and said this.
"why?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jianfeng asked in a daze.
"Because there is no fixed formula for the Burial God Pill, everything depends on the properties of the Burial God Flower you obtain, and the formula will be re-derived accordingly."
"Moreover, regardless of the formula, it requires at least several thousand kinds of precious immortal herbs to assist in its preparation."
"So, do you think you have the ability to gather several thousand immortal herbs?"
"Do you think you have the ability to hire a high-level alchemist to spend hundreds or thousands of years developing a pill formula for you?"
Gu Qing learned all this information from the "Immortal Pill Chronicles" he purchased from Tianbao Trading Company.
In conclusion, there is absolutely no falsehood in this statement.
The more extraordinary the elixir, the harder it is to refine.
It has to be said that Zheng Jianfeng is truly daring; he even dares to refine the legendary divine pill.
"no!"
Zheng Jianfeng was pale and shook his head decisively.
After hearing Gu Qing's story, Zheng Jianfeng had completely given up.
Even if a high-level alchemist were willing to refine it for him, he would not do so.
After all, just hearing about it tells you how heavy the price will be, and the failure rate is terrifyingly high.
There was almost no hope of success.
The purpose of collecting the Burial God Pill is to provide practice material for alchemists.
He couldn't wait any longer.
"Let's get back to the topic then."
"Want to buy the Burial God Flower? Take it out and let me see it," Gu Qing asked.
After all that nonsense, Gu Qing's goal was simple: he wanted the Burial God Flower.
If others can't make it, he definitely can.
Others need to deduce the formula for the elixir, but he doesn't.
Because he could ask Jiang Yu for help.
"Sell."
"However, this was obtained by the seven of us, and three of our senior brothers and sisters perished as a result. The remaining junior brothers and sisters are also suffering from severe poisoning. We beg Master Gu to have mercy on us."
Zheng Jianfeng presented the jade box with both hands, his heart filled with bitterness. He knelt down on the ground, his face full of pleading.
Because he knew that the Burial God Flower was a useless plant, neither good nor bad.
Even if you take it out to sell, in this godforsaken place, you probably won't get many immortal crystals.
Zheng Jianfeng could only plead with Gu Qing to be generous and give him one or two more antidote pills.
If Gu Qing only provides one elixir, he doesn't know how to explain it to his junior brothers and sisters.
"Alright, times are tough, Senior Sister, give him a few more!"
Gu Qing waved his hand, not wanting to say anything more.
Zhi Meng led the person into the palace, and looked at Zheng Jianfeng, who looked dejected, with a complicated expression.
She could tell that Zheng Jianfeng was an extremely powerful sword cultivator.
It is said that sword cultivators are unyielding and steadfast, with a Dao heart as firm as divine iron.
However, at this moment, Zheng Jianfeng knelt down for a few elixirs, having almost lost all dignity as a sword cultivator.
But this has nothing to do with her.
Zhi Meng gathered her thoughts and stated clearly that she would only give Zheng Jianfeng nine high-grade immortal pills to choose from.
Zheng Jianfeng was overjoyed and immediately selected three Immortal Essence Pills and the rest of the Tribulation-Crossing Pills.
This is the most precious and effective antidote among low-grade elixirs, perfect for curing his junior brothers and sisters' poisoning.
Having obtained the elixir, Zheng Jianfeng hurriedly left the city.
They soon stopped in front of a floating meteorite, dropped a formation flag, and a ripple suddenly appeared in the void, opening a gap.
Zheng Jianfeng slipped inside and saw two men and one woman, their faces as black as ink, and wisps of black mist emanating from their bodies.
Clearly, all three were poisoned.
"Senior brother."
The woman let out a weak cry.
"Ok!"
Zheng Jianfeng excitedly stepped forward and fed the antidote pill to his junior sister, then fed it to his two junior brothers as well.
The three of them circulated their cultivation techniques to refine the Tribulation-Crossing Pill, and the poison that had merged with their souls and bodies was quickly expelled with the help of the medicine.
Zheng Jianfeng circulated his internal energy to assist them, and soon, the three of them regained their rosy complexions, having completely cleared the poison from their bodies.
"Woooooooo..."
The stunningly beautiful girl wept with joy, hugging her knees and sobbing.
They were saved.
But her three senior brothers, who had been with her for hundreds of years, died.
"Junior sister, don't be sad, you still have your brother."
With tears in his eyes, Zheng Jianfeng tried his best to remain calm and comforted her, "I still have three Tribulation-Crossing Pills and three Immortal Essence Pills. I'll give them all to you."
"???"
The stunningly beautiful girl looked up at Zheng Jianfeng blankly, then cried even harder.
Because she knew how precious and rare these elixirs were, especially the Tribulation-Crossing Pill, which was not available for sale in Guangxian City at all.
It was definitely not easy for Zheng Jianfeng to obtain these nine top-grade immortal pills.
"Junior sister, don't cry."
Zheng Jianfeng and the other two looked at the girl helplessly.
Letting them kill people is fine, but comforting people is something their master never taught them.
