172: Xingfengdu!

"This batch of Medicinal Pills I just refined should be a four-star, Sixth-Rank Advanced Medicinal Pill, right?"

"From my experience in Alchemy, if I don't pursue Perfection, I should be able to refine Seventh-Rank Medicinal Pills."

"That is to say, I should have entered the threshold of an Alchemy Grandmaster now, but it's still just the most Elementary Stage."

Lu Hao toyed with the Medicinal Pill in his hand, muttering to himself.

But it doesn't matter; to successfully refine a Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pill for the first time, and even make some improvements, is already very good!

It seems his mission is within reach.

Now that he has a certain level of Dao of Alchemy Cultivation, it's time to establish a Sect.

Otherwise, relying solely on Yin Xiaotong's returned Cultivation, it might take a very long time for him to reach the Realm of a Dao of Alchemy Supreme Grandmaster!

Lu Hao couldn't wait that long; he still wanted to see other places.

Since that's the case, he first needed to establish a certain reputation.

He absolutely had to attend the Alchemy Convention some time later.

"Xiao Tong, here."

Lu Hao tossed three Nine Heavens Spirit Convergence Pills to Yin Xiaotong.

"These Medicinal Pills are for you. You've been working hard on Alchemy recently, so take some time to adjust your Divine Soul state. These are Medicinal Pills I specially refined for you, and they should be able to help you."

Yin Xiaotong hurriedly took the three Medicinal Pills Lu Hao tossed to her, her heart filled with immense gratitude.

Master is truly too good to her...

How could she be worthy of Master treating her like this...

These are Sixth-Rank Advanced Medicinal Pills! Even her father couldn't afford such Medicinal Pills. Generally, it's not a Sixth-Rank Alchemist who refines Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pills.

The average success rate for a Sixth-Rank Alchemist refining a Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pill might only be twenty percent!

So they would all choose to refine Fifth-Rank Medicinal Pills to sell.

Especially Sixth-Rank Advanced Medicinal Pills, which are generally refined by an Alchemy Grandmaster, so their quantity on the market is extremely small; they are simply in short supply.

Sometimes, if you don't have connections, you can't even buy them even if you have the money.

"Disciple thanks... thanks Master..."

Yin Xiaotong's voice carried a hint of a sob; she was almost moved to tears.

Lu Hao chuckled upon hearing this, then took out some more Medicinal Pills from his Storage Pouch and said:

"You should already be a Second-Rank Alchemist now. These are special Medicinal Pills I refined. From now on, whenever you reach a Breakthrough Bottleneck, take one. It can help you successfully Breakthrough."

"It can also help with Bottlenecks in Cultivation. I see that you were already at Core Formation Great Perfection Cultivation when you came out of the Heavenly Palm Pit. After Cultivating a bit more, you can take the Medicinal Pill and Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage."

"This way, you won't have to come to me every time in the future."

Yin Xiaotong took the Medicinal Pills and cupped her fists towards Lu Hao, saying:

"Yes, Master!"

"Hehe, let's go. I hope you make significant progress before the Alchemy Convention begins."

Yin Xiaotong left Lu Hao's courtyard and returned to her own residence.

She didn't rest but immediately consumed the Nine Heavens Spirit Convergence Pill Lu Hao gave her and began to Cultivate.

"This... This is! What terrifying medicinal properties!!"

...

"Shi Yi, come here for a moment."

Lu Hao called out to Shi Yi.

Shi Yi was originally Cultivating in her room. Hearing Lu Hao's voice, she quickly walked over.

"Master, what is it?"

During this recent period, with Lu Hao's help, she had successfully Broken Through to the Core Formation Stage Early Phase. Her Cultivation had improved significantly.

Lu Hao took out the remaining seven Medicinal Pills and waved his hand, leaving a mark on them.

It was a towering green mountain. If someone from the Qingxuan Sect were here, they would recognize it as the highest peak in Qing Xuan Prefecture.

Lu Hao casually tossed six of them to Shi Yi.

"I'll trouble you to make a trip for me. Go find a few famous auction houses in Danling State and help me auction off these six Medicinal Pills."

Shi Yi heard this and quickly said:

"Master, I've looked into it. The three most famous auction houses in Danling State are all hosted by the Three Great Sects."

"They are called Star River Auction House, Nine Heavens Treasure Pavilion, and Yunjian Collection, respectively."

Lu Hao listened to Shi Yi's words and said:

"Send two of these Medicinal Pills to each of these three auction houses for auction."

"Yes, Master! It's just that my Cultivation is too low, and on the way..."

Lu Hao took out a boat from his Storage Pouch. It was precisely Yin Xinghai's Void-Breaking Ship from before.

Lu Hao found it quite useful, so he bought it directly.

"This is a Void-Breaking Ship. I've equipped it with a Puppet of Undergoing Tribulation Cultivation for you. He will help you activate it. Just tell him where you want to go."

"Little Green, you go too."

As soon as Lu Hao spoke, a humanoid Puppet landed directly on the Void-Breaking Ship, standing quietly in the corner of the ship.

"Yes, I guarantee the completion of the mission!"

...

Upon receiving Lu Hao's mission, Shi Yi immediately set off in the Void-Breaking Ship towards the three major auction houses in Danling State.

She stood at the bow of the ship, holding the six Medicinal Pills Lu Hao gave her, examining them repeatedly.

"What... what grade are these Medicinal Pills, exactly?"

"They look quite good, but I don't know what they're called. Master didn't tell me, so how am I supposed to sell them?"

After looking for a while, Shi Yi put them back into her Storage Pouch.

Even with the Void-Breaking Ship, it would take some time to reach the first destination.

According to the map of Danling State, the closest auction house to Shi Yi was the Yunjian Collection, which was hosted by the Lingdan Sect.

It was located within the Lingdan Sect's territory, in a place called Xingfeng Capital. Xingfeng Capital was the largest capital city within the Lingdan Sect, covering an area at least a hundred times that of Guangdong City!

There were an exceptionally large number of Cultivators and Alchemists within Xingfeng Capital. All sorts of rare treasures, Spirit Pills, and Divine Pills could be purchased there.

After flying for three days, Shi Yi finally arrived.

When she was still a hundred miles from Xingfeng Capital, Shi Yi disembarked from the Void-Breaking Ship and continued on foot.

Because the Lingdan Sect had a rule: flying was prohibited within Xingfeng Capital and its hundred-mile radius. Once violated, one would be hunted by the Lingdan Sect!

Shi Yi herself wouldn't be foolish enough to do such a thing. With her Core Formation Cultivation, a hundred miles was just a short walk.

After paying the Spirit Stones, Shi Yi stepped through the city gate of Xingfeng Capital, and her steps unconsciously slowed down.

A long, seemingly endless bluestone street stretched into the distance.

Pavilions were scattered on both sides of the street, with some bronze bells hanging from their eaves, gently swaying with the wind, emitting soft sounds that subtly had a calming and spirit-focusing rhythm.

High-level and low-level Cultivators mingled in the market without seeming out of place. Fighting was prohibited within Xingfeng Capital, so even low-Cultivation Cultivators could live peacefully here, though they just had to find ways to earn more Spirit Stones.
