97: Chapter 97 First Time Refining Pills

Chu Tian was finished; his Internal Energy had been drained, and his Realm had plummeted from Late Stage Dark Force to the Peak of Bright Energy.

Upon learning this, he went completely insane, and his luck points hit zero along with his descent into madness.

Watching the now-crazed Chu Tian, Qin Yun immediately closed his eyes and sensed his own cultivation.

As expected, after reaching the Hua Jin Realm, even absorbing the Internal Energy of a Late Stage Dark Force expert had a negligible effect on his improvement.

Never mind; he could now be considered an expert. Qin Yun then glanced at Chu Tian.

"Xiao Shang, this guy has lost his mind. Make a call and have him sent away! The number of people he killed alone is enough to keep him locked up for life."

Watching a Prodigy of his generation fall to such a state, Qin Yushang couldn't help but sigh. The police arrived shortly after.

Because Chu Tian had returned and immediately massacred dozens of people in a tavern, his actions were extremely heinous; life imprisonment was likely an optimistic outcome.

After Chu Tian was taken away by the police, thanks to information provided by an "anonymous" good Samaritan, they discovered that he was a mercenary from abroad.

Once the police learned of this, they immediately launched an in-depth investigation. They hadn't realized the severity until they looked into it, and what they found was shocking.

He had actually sneaked back twice before, and it involved a certain official; he must have been hired to assassinate political rivals!

However, these matters were no longer Qin Yun's concern. Without the support of a Protagonist Halo, Chu Tian was now nothing more than a small fry.

After everything was over, the women sat in the living room with Qin Yun. All the women were staring straight at him, making Qin Yun feel a bit uncomfortable, so he cleared his throat.

"Everyone, what's with those expressions? It's only been a few days; there's no need to be so surprised!"

Qin Yushang stepped forward and tapped Qin Yun on the head. "Is this what a Hua Jin Expert is like? It doesn't feel any different! At least he still looks like an ordinary person; I thought he would have three heads and six arms!"

Qin Yun's mouth twitched, and he immediately lifted Qin Yushang up. "You're such a chatterbox. But for now, the enemies of our Qin Family should be considered resolved."

"Isn't there still the Tang Family? That force is not small."

However, as soon as these words were spoken, Meng Ruxin explained from the side.

"That won't happen. The Tang Family might send people to investigate the situation of the Qin Family, but as long as Mr. Qin steps forward, the Tang Family won't offend the Qin Family over a servant. After all, the current Qin Family is now protected by a Hua Jin Expert. As long as a Hua Jin Expert is alive, they can protect the Family for a hundred years of prosperity; this isn't just talk. Even the Tang Family has to weigh their options before dealing with the Qin Family now."

Meng Ruxin's words made Qin Yushang suddenly startled, then she looked at Qin Yun beside her and exclaimed.

"Are you really that badass now?"

"Just average! I could probably take on ten of you."

"Hey, my temper! I... I don't think I can actually beat you. Well, if you're so capable, why don't you take on the four of us? My Senior Sisters and I share the same fate—we rise and fall together."

Upon hearing this, a look of eagerness appeared in Leng Youxue's eyes; after all, opportunities to spar with a Hua Jin Expert were rare.

Experts should challenge other experts to improve, but Qin Yun waved his hand. "You all spent a lot of effort dealing with Chu Tian tonight; I won't take advantage of you when you're exhausted. Rest for a few days first! By the way, Yun Yan, in the few days I was unconscious, did the Yun Family's medicinal herbs arrive?"

"They arrived two days ago. However, we didn't know the quality of these herbs, so I put them in an empty room upstairs. We were waiting for you to wake up so you could check them directly."

"How thoughtful. After preparing for so long, I can finally see these herbs."

Qin Yun hurried upstairs, and the others followed him inside; they wanted to see what exactly Qin Yun was up to.

"Blood Spirit Flower, Bone Growing Grass, Nine Fragrance Wood... Hmm, not bad, the quality is also good. As expected of the Family that supplies herbs to the Tang Family! These herbs are truly excellent."

Qin Yushang glanced at the room full of herbs and realized she didn't recognize a single one, while Shen Yingxue was even more clueless. Qin Yun looked at the herbs and nodded with satisfaction.

"I must say, these herbs are enough for me to practice for a while."

"Practice?"

Meng Ruxin raised an eyebrow; she seemed to have guessed something, but she didn't dare to be sure, as it was simply too shocking.

Looking at these herbs, Leng Youxue spoke her thoughts aloud.

"Your Excellency Qin Yun, you bought so many rare herbs—surely you aren't planning to... do Alchemy, are you?"

"Congratulations, there's a prize for the correct answer. I'll reward you with a head pat—here goes!"

Ever since his Breakthrough to Hua Jin, Qin Yun had become increasingly cheeky. As soon as he spoke, his palm landed on Leng Youxue's head, and he rubbed it back and forth.

Leng Youxue was left between laughter and tears; had Your Excellency Qin Yun's mindset become younger after his Breakthrough?

However, Qin Yun's admission made Qin Yushang explode. "Wait, what did you say this stuff is for? Alchemy? You, you, you... we grew up together; when did you learn this stuff behind my back?"

"I just read a couple of books and figured it out. Isn't that how you all do it?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yushang couldn't help but clench her small fists. This guy was truly infuriating; if she weren't unable to beat him, her fists would have already smashed into him.

"Let me think: three Blood Spirit Flowers, two stalks of Bone Growing Grass, two Ice Thorn Fruits..."

Qin Yun muttered to himself, and then a ball of crimson flame appeared directly in his hand. Meng Ruxin was no longer calm.

"Holy crap, that's fire! No, that's not fire generated by fire-attributed Internal Energy; that's real fire. This is a flame that many Alchemists might not obtain in their entire lives; this..."

Qin Yun didn't react at all, and then he took out the two extremes cauldron. He had drawn this item so long ago, and it finally had a use.

Immediately after, he began to refine according to the Pill Formula in his mind, tossing various herbs directly into the two extremes cauldron. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.

The women watched him with anticipation. "Did you succeed?"

Qin Yun scratched his head awkwardly. "I didn't control the heat well; the herbs just now burned to ash. I'll definitely get it next time."

"Tch!!!"

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Capital Prison.

A cold and beautiful woman slowly walked into the prison. She had exhausted all her connections and money just to sneak into this place.

Looking at the decadent man before her, a touch of anger appeared on the woman's face, and she asked. "Zheng Baihe, I'm back. Tell me everything you know, from start to finish!"
