The Voidbreaker Pill
← Ch.0875 | Ch.0877 → |
Now that he was poor again, he had to seize the opportunity to take the Level Seven Alchemist exam. Thus, he could save on costs and any future problems. Pills refined by him also could be exchanged for Spirit Stones.
"Oh, okay, but aren't you in too much of a hurry?" Su Wuxian said, "Little Qin, the attainment of alchemy is closely related to your cultivation, but it doesn't mean that your alchemy can be improved just because your cultivation has improved."
"Although you have entered the stage of the Voiding Realm, it will take you some time to refine the Level Six pills."
Fang Qiong'er stood aside without saying anything. Intellectually, she agreed with Su Wuxian very much, but the young man in front of her was too amazing. He sparked her imagination time and again. Maybe he could really refine the Level Six pills.
Qin Haodong said, "President Su, please give me a chance to try. My master's alchemy is a little special. As long as I reach a certain level, I can refine corresponding pills."
Helpless, he had no choice but to mention his teacher who didn't exist at all.
"Well... well, what pills do you want to refine?"
Su Wuxian hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"I want to refine the Voidbreaker Pill."
"What? You want to refine the Voidbreaker Pill?" Although he was shocked by the miracle performed by Qin Haodong today, Su Wuxian was totally taken aback."Little Qin, you should think about it carefully. The Voidbreaker Pill is the best of the Level Six pills. Even I can't guarantee that I can refine it every time."
"You've just broken through to the stage of the Voiding Realm, so why don't you choose some easy pills to take the examination? That way, you'll have a better chance of passing the examination."
Qin Haodong was familiar with the Voidbreaker Pill. He also knew its status among the Level Six pills. Each Voidbreaker Pill could upgrade a cultivator in the Voiding Realm by one level, so its value was naturally shockingly expensive.
He said, "President Su, I want to refine this kind of pill. You have promised me that all the costs of the examination would be free. Are you distressed now?"
"I..."
Su Wuxian was indeed a little distressed deep in his heart. The materials needed to refine the Voidbreaker Pill were generally not expensive, but their school was only a branch of the Alchemist Association, so there were not many medicinal materials in stock here.
This was the reason that there were not too many Voidbreaker Pills in the entire Tortoise Academy.
However, since he had promised, he could not go back on his word. He gritted his teeth and said, "Well, Little Qin, I can provide you with the materials for refining but these materials are extremely precious and I can only take one set of materials out."
"Thank you, President Su. That is enough."
With Qin Haodong's attainments in alchemy, it was not difficult for him to refine the Level Six pills. It was impossible for him to waste these herbs.
The three of them returned to the alchemy room. Su Wuxian arranged for someone to prepare a set of materials to refine the Voidbreaker Pill. Then, Qin Haodong began to refine again.
Qin Haodong soaked the herbs in the furnace, one by one. Su Wuxian and Fang Qiong'er stood behind him quietly and watched. The more they saw, the more shocked they looked.
Although it was the Level Six pills, Qin Haodong's technique was still well-organized and smooth. His speed was not slower than that of refining the Cultivation Pill.
Judging from his alchemy skills, he was not a stranger to it at all. No one could have imagined that he was a student who had just entered the stage of the Voiding Realm.
About half an hour later, a burst of pill fragrance wafted out. Qin Haodong raised the jade bottle in his hand and caught the six Voidbreaker Pills that flew out of the furnace.
He shook his head after seeing the pills in the bottle. The higher the level, the higher the requirement of the fire. He only refined six pills this time and each pill had only one vein.
He was dissatisfied while Su Wuxian and Fang Qiong'er on the other side were extremely shocked.
Being alchemists, they clearly understood how difficult it was to refine the Level Six pills. Even Su Wuxian, who was a Level Seven Alchemist, could not guarantee that he would succeed every time. Even if he succeeded, the pills refined by him would not have any veins.
However, he refined these pills so easily. Furthermore, each high-quality pill had one vein.
After taking the jade bottle, Su Wuxian exclaimed, "Little Qin, I'll take all your pills. 1, 000 top-level Spirit Stones for each."
Although he was short of money now, Qin Haodong hesitated for a moment and said, "President Su, I'll keep three of these pills and sell three pills to the Alchemist Association."
"Okay, this kind of pills with veins can't be refined every time."
Su Wuxian put away the three Voidbreaker Pills and returned the jade bottle in his hand to Qin Haodong. Then, he paid him another 3, 000 top-level Spirit Stones.
Fang Qiong'er said, "Junior Brother, you're already a Level Six Alchemist, one level higher than me. You can accept me as your disciple now, right?"
Qin Haodong said, "That's not necessary. At my age, I don't want to accept apprentices. If you have any problems with refining pills, you can come to me at any time. I promise that I will teach you everything and will never hide anything."
Seeing Qin Haodong's firm attitude, Fang Qiong'er hesitated and said, "Then... then... shall I call you brother later?"
"Fine, call me whatever you want!"
However, Qin Haodong did not refuse this time. A smile appeared on the proud face of Fang Qiong'er as she called out sweetly, "Brother Qin!"
Su Wuxian was inwardly shocked when he saw this. He had never seen this arrogant little girl use this type of tone to speak to anyone.
Qin Haodong nodded and said, "Since you call me brother, this Voidbreaker Pill is a gift for our first meeting."
"This... isn't this too expensive?"
Fang Qiong'er hesitated. This pill was worth 1, 000 top-level Spirit Stones. She didn't expect Qin Haodong to give it to her so casually.
Qin Haodong said, "It's just a pill. Don't call me brother anymore if you don't want to accept it."
"Thank you, brother." Fang Qiong'er said as she received the Voidbreaker Pill.
Su Wuxian said, "Qiong'er, you can try it now and see how effective this Voidbreaker Pill with one vein is."
"Okay, Mr. Su!"
The three of them returned to the quiet room together. Fang Qiong'er sat down cross-legged, swallowed the Voidbreaker Pill, and began to run her Genuine Qi to break through to the late stage of the Voiding Realm.
Su Wuxian and Qin Haodong stood next to her. Although they could not see the changes in Fang Qiong'er's body, they could feel that her momentum was rising.
About half an hour later, Fang Qiong'er's momentum reached its peak. With a loud bang in her mind, she finally broke through the middle stage of the Voiding Realm and reached the late stage of the Voiding Realm, and was only one step away from the final stage.
She slowly opened her eyes and stood up from the ground. Grabbing Qin Haodong's arm, she said, "Thank you, brother."
At this time, her eyes were full of admiration and gratitude. Since she was a child, she had always been the best among her peers. No one had ever been more outstanding than her.
Although there were people with higher cultivations than her among the Five Dragons and Three Phoenixes of the Tortoise Academy, all of them were older than her. Moreover, she was an Alchemist. Their reliance on their high cultivations was not enough to completely convince her.
All in all, Qin Haodong was the first man who could totally convince her.
"You're welcome. I'm your brother. I'll need your protection in the future."
Qin Haodong made a joke and then said to Su Wuxian, "President Su, I'll go back if there's nothing else."
Su Wuxian nodded and said, "You can go back first. I don't have the medal for the Level Six Alchemist in my hands. I need to apply to the Alchemist Headquarters of Tortoise Kingdom. I will send it to you in a few days."
The three of them walked out together and went to the examination room. Zhang Dapeng, Ma Yan, and others had been waiting there for news.
Everyone felt relieved when they saw Fang Qiong'er coming out in good condition.
Although Fang Qiong'er was arrogant, it did not hinder her charm. These people regarded her as their goddess. Naturally, they did not want any accidents to happen to her.
After seeing these people, Fang Qiong'er remembered that the exam papers had not been reviewed yet. She said apologetically to Qin Haodong, "Brother, you go first. I can't accompany you any longer. I have to review the papers as soon as possible."
"It doesn't matter. I can go by myself."
Qin Haodong smiled at Fang Qiong'er, who responded with a smile. The temperature in the room seemed to rise a little. The air became very cheerful.
As the saying goes, a smile is enough to charm a hundred people. It was the most appropriate to use it on Fang Qiong'er at this moment.
"Girl, you're more beautiful when you smile."
Qin Haodong patted Fang Qiong'er on the shoulder and turned to leave the examination room.
Everyone was stunned. What was going on? This guy had only just entered the academy and had not even taken part in the Alchemist examinations. How did he become the goddess's brother?
He actually touched the goddess, yet the goddess wasn't angry.
Many of them had known Fang Qiong'er for some time. This goddess was very cold. They had never seen her smile at any man.
Today, she smiled at Qin Haodong, which was even more surprising than the sun rising from the west.
Fang Qiong'er ignored everyone's surprised expressions. After Qin Haodong left, the smile on her face disappeared. She became the cold and arrogant goddess again. Then she sat down at the table and began to review the papers.
Qin Haodong walked out of the gate of the Alchemist Association. He had gained a lot this time. Not only did he improve his cultivation, but he also got a lot of Spirit Stones and three Voidbreaker Pills.
He was about to walk to the medicine sales hall. As soon as he took a few steps, he saw more than a dozen people suddenly rushing out to block his way.
"The boy surnamed Qin, let me see who can protect you this time!"
It was Dong Zhenjiang who had spoken. Beside him stood Dong Zhenhai and a dozen students, all of whom had reached the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm.
Qin Haodong smiled and said, "As a man, I don't need other people's protection. I don't need to rely on anyone and I won't tell anyone off after being beaten."
"You..."
Dong Zhenjiang's face turned red at his sarcasm. He said to Dong Zhenhai, "Big brother, you must help me teach this boy a good lesson. Let him know how to behave in our Tortoise Academy."
Dong Zhenhai stepped toward Qin Haodong and said, "Boy, without the Little Witch here, why are you so arrogant? Let me tell you, you only have two choices today. Either pay 200 top-level Spirit Stones, or I'll break your legs!"
Qin Haodong looked at him and asked calmly, "As far as I know, fighting is forbidden in our academy. Do you want to be expelled from the Tortoise Academy?"
"Expelled from the Tortoise Academy?" Dong Zhenhai smiled with disdain."Let me tell you, these rules are made for ordinary students like you. They do not affect me at all."
"Even if I break your legs, they will at most punish me and fine me some Spirit Stones. I will definitely not be expelled from the Tortoise Academy."
Next to him, a tall and thin man shouted, "That's right! Don't you know our big brother's identity? He is one of the top ten masters in the Tortoise Academy."
"In a few days, it will be the competition between the North and South Academies of the Tortoise Academy. The academy will still count on my big brother to win glory for it. How could he be expelled?"
Dong Zhenhai said proudly, "Did you hear that? I won't be expelled from the academy. Will you pay the money or let me break your legs?"
