After Li Shiyin practiced the Starlight Guiding Technique for a while, it was getting late, so she went back to her room to take a medicinal bath... After all, no matter how powerful the moves were, they could not compare to one's own level of cultivation.
After Qin Ran prepared a medicinal bath for her, he went straight to the study.
This time he closed the doors and windows of the study carefully, then went to the desk, took off his sachet-like Qiankun bag, and placed it on the table.
He wanted to sort out the gains and losses of last night's trip.
The first thing he had to do was to sit down, take a pen and paper, and write down the recipe he had memorized.
The recipes were from the two men’s storage bags. Relying on his memory and understanding of elixirs, Qin Ran forced himself to quickly memorize the four most useful recipes.
They are the Spirit Wind Pill that can make magic power violent, the Dragon Elephant Pill that can make qi and blood violent, the Ice Heart Pill that can protect the mind, and the Beast Feeding Pill that is used to feed spirit beasts.
Among these pill recipes, the most useful one is the beast-feeding pill.
Since Zhuifeng was picked up, he has been fed with spirit beast milk and spirit beast meat, which is no different from what humans eat. This can only ensure that he does not starve to death and can grow up, but it does not help his growth and cultivation at all.
With the appearance of the Beast Feeding Pill, it can be said that Zhuifeng may become the biggest winner of Qin Ran’s trip.
After finishing writing the recipe, Qin Ran began to take things out of his Qiankun bag.
The first thing that was taken out was the spirit stone, which took up the most space in the Qiankun bag.
The spirit stones from those two people and the spirit stones that Qin Ran got from selling the elixirs.
Qin Ran carefully checked the spirit stones again with his spiritual sense. After confirming that there were no problems, he opened the drawer under the desk and put the spirit stones in... A total of 4,521 low-grade spirit stones, 302 medium-grade spirit stones, and one high-grade spirit stone.
Originally, the spirit stones in the drawer were almost empty, and now that these spirit stones were put in, the drawer with the space formation was almost overflowing.
The next thing to take out was the most important thing, the goal of this trip, the Star Stone!
The main spiritual ore used to create Li Shiyin’s natal flying sword.
Although the Star Stone was hidden with a tracking mark by the thin man, there was no problem with the Star Stone itself.
Last night, when Qin Ran discovered the mark on the Star Stone, he did not act rashly. Instead, he used his spiritual power to transfer the tracking mark in the Star Stone to his clone...
This is why the thin man chased the clone without any doubt.
Qin Ran took the Star Stone and carefully examined it again. After finding nothing unusual, he put it aside.
What he took out next was the sword technique he bought at the auction—"Star Shadow Sword Technique", which was also prepared for Li Shiyin.
In fact, the two men had some other skills, but Qin Ran didn't dare to take them. First, he was worried that there might be problems with the skills themselves, and second,
They were worried that practicing their skills would easily lead to being recognized by people from the "Yuan Organization".
After checking the technique, Qin Ran took out the Thunder Tribulation Pill, the biggest consumable item for this trip.
All the pills used for trading and the materials for setting up the formation, added together, are not as valuable as the Thunder Pill that exploded last night.
First of all, what is the Tribulation Thunder Pill
To put it simply, it is a simple elixir that uses some kind of alchemy technique to seal the thunder, and then releases the thunder when facing the enemy.
Secondly, how could there be such a strange thing as the Thunder Pill
The idea was provided by Qin Ran, and the technique was perfected by his master Wang Yuanyi.
Finally, how to refine the Tribulation Thunder Pill.
Obviously, Qin Ran couldn't refine it, so it could only be Wang Yuanyi who refined it.
When Wang Yuanyi overcame the tribulation for the last time, he left three Tribulation Thunder Pills for Qin Ran.
The main job of an alchemist is to make pills, but the improvement of alchemy on combat ability is extremely weak, so the strength and combat ability of the alchemist himself are weak.
Although due to the strange and unpredictable changes in the martial arts world, when alchemists and cultivators of other professions meet in real life, the victory or defeat is still a matter of probability. However, when it comes to overcoming the tribulation, which requires confronting the thunder tribulation head-on, the shortcomings of the alchemists are too obviously exposed.
This is also an important reason why few people want to learn alchemy.
Pills are very important, and alchemists are highly respected, but... it is very likely that an alchemist cannot even survive the thunder of the foundation-building period.
Overcoming the tribulation is a calamity that an alchemist can never escape; it is the alchemist’s curse.
Eighty percent of alchemists die from lightning, another 19.9 percent would rather die of old age than be struck by lightning, and only a small 0.1 percent die from other reasons.
Wang Yuanyi is an alchemist, so he cannot avoid this disaster.
His success rate in overcoming the tribulation was not high to begin with, and he was trying to overcome the tribulation at the edge of his death. So before he even started overcoming the tribulation, he knew that he would not survive.
It didn't matter that he couldn't form a baby, but it was hard for Qin Ran, his disciple. After his death, no one taught Qin Ran to make pills, no one protected Qin Ran, no one accompanied Qin Ran, leaving this little cultivator in the foundation-building stage alone in this dangerous world of cultivation.
Finally, under the heavenly tribulation, he refined three Tribulation Thunder Pills for Qin Ran.
The Tribulation Thunder Pill, the Tribulation Thunder that occurs when the Golden Elixir transforms into an Infant, is Qin Ran’s current strongest trump card. If used well, it is enough to kill an Infant Stage cultivator with unstable cultivation.
Qin Ran looked at the Tribulation Thunder Pill in his hand, and his memory slowly returned. After a long moment, he sighed, held back the tears in his eyes, and put away the remaining two Tribulation Thunder Pills.
Qin Ran really felt that it was not worth it to use a Tribulation Thunder Pill in exchange for these things.
After putting his things away again, he opened the window and sat in the study for half the night. He looked at the pagoda tree outside the window.
On second thought, this might be the passing of the torch, the replacement of the old with the new!
Use the Thunder Pill left by the master to refine the natal sword for the apprentice.
However, if we use the standards of the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars, Qin Ran would be considered a traitor...
After practicing the Starlight Guiding Technique for another two days, Li Shiyin was basically able to control it freely. In addition, she had also been practicing sword flying diligently in the past two days and had become very proficient in it.
So, Kieran planned to go down the mountain to forge the sword.
On the morning before leaving, Qin Ran brought Li Shiyin to the study.
"After coming down the mountain, the world outside the mountain gate is dangerous and unpredictable, and accidents can easily happen. Every time you go out, you need to be adequately prepared." Qin Ran and Li Shiyin said.
He took out a red embroidered bag and handed it to Li Shiyin, saying, "This is a Qiankun bag. I made it myself, so there won't be any problems. The space inside is about the size of this study room. Take it and use it first."
Li Shiyin took it and looked at the straight man's aesthetic taste, and couldn't help but complain: "So ugly!"
Qin Ran gave her a dim look.
He took out some porcelain bottles and placed them on the table, introducing them to Li Shiyin one by one: "This is the top-grade Huiyuan Pill, which restores mana; this is the top-grade Dahuan Pill, which treats injuries; this is the Bigu Pill, which replenishes physical strength; this is the Lingfeng Pill, which makes mana violent and temporarily gains powerful combat power; this is the Bloodthirsty Pill, which violently invigorates the mind..."
To prevent his foolish apprentice from forgetting to distinguish the two, he also put labels on the outside.
Li Shiyin put away all the pills. Qin Ran took out some strange pills and said to Li Shiyin, "These are the pills to be used when facing an enemy. This Sha Pill will confuse the mind and make people go crazy. This is the Earth Flame Pill, which contains the earth fire and is very powerful. This is the Clear Water Pill, which contains heavy water..."
"Put them all away. I'll teach you how to unblock them later."
Li Shiyin collected them all, and Qin Ran gave her some more talismans: "This is the God Speed Talisman, which allows you to run fast; this is the God Thunder Talisman..."
He warned, "You must be careful when using talismans, because they are all purchased and their quality cannot be guaranteed. If you encounter danger, give priority to using the enemy elixir, which is made by yourself."
Afterwards, Qin Ran hesitated for a long time, but still took out a pill and handed it to Li Shiyin, saying solemnly: "This is the Tribulation Thunder Pill. There is only one in the world. It is extremely powerful. Try not to use it... If you must use it, use it at a safe distance."
Li Shiyin looked at Qin Ran and thought that her master was exaggerating, but she still took the Thunder Pill.
"Master, we are just going out, is it necessary to do this?" she asked.
Qin Ran's expression straightened as he taught:
"I have emphasized to you many times that there is a huge gap between the strong and the weak in the world of immortal cultivation. A strong cultivator can make the entire Northern Chu Kingdom disappear in an instant with a flick of his finger, while a weak cultivator may not even be able to defeat an ordinary warrior. In such a chaotic world, people's hearts are unpredictable and extremely dangerous. You must always be cautious and tread carefully..."
