239: Get the Enlightenment Pill

“That guy isn’t trying to trick us, is he?”

“Either he’s tricking us, or Senior Brother Han from the Outer Sect called him to a desolate place and killed him.”

“Li Changsheng said someone paid a huge price to transfer him to the Ding Fire Vein, and he was called away today. His body is probably stiff by now.”

… …

On the open ground outside the Alchemy Hall.

Dozens of Utility Disciples responsible for cleaning the Alchemy workshops were discussing animatedly. Some looked depressed, while others were angry.

Today, in order to collect more discarded Medicinal Pills, they broke their usual routine and competed to clean the Alchemy rooms and collect discarded Medicinal Pills. But after finally enduring until the end of their shift, they found the person was gone!

“Sorry, everyone, for making you wait!”

Just as everyone was about to disperse, a voice sounded from behind them.

At this moment, Qin Feng still maintained the appearance of a red-faced Cultivator. In the Cultivation world, it’s about settling scores on the spot, so few people cared about appearance.

A Utility Disciple whose strength had reached the Great Perfection Realm of the Core Formation Stage said coldly, “You’re finally here. If you hadn’t come, we would have used our connections to issue a warrant for you!”

Use connections to issue a warrant for me?

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, not taking it to heart at all, only finding it a bit amusing.

“Let’s start trading now. One thousand discarded Medicinal Pills for one Immortal Crystal. You can decide how to divide them yourselves!”

Everyone had no objection to this proposal, as it was also stated this way when they were notified in the morning.

Everyone pulled things out of their arms. Some had huge bundles like a hornet’s nest, while others had smaller hauls, only about a hundred.

In the blink of an eye, ten piles of dark, discarded Medicinal Pills, each representing the full day’s output of a fire vein, were stacked in front of Qin Feng, each pile varying in quantity.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Qin Feng instantly counted the exact quantity. All together, there were more than thirteen thousand six hundred discarded Medicinal Pills.

“I’ll give you fourteen Immortal Crystals in total. You can decide how to divide them yourselves!”

Qin Feng waved his hand, collecting all the discarded Medicinal Pills on the ground into his storage ring. At the same time, he took out fourteen Immortal Crystals from his storage ring and handed them over. The people present debated for a moment, and finally chose a seemingly more reliable person to be responsible for the division.

“Tomorrow, same place, I’ll wait for you.”

After speaking, Qin Feng turned and left.

After becoming Ge Qingyun’s Disciple, Qin Feng also owned a sizable courtyard in the Li Huo Immortal Sect. Now, naturally, he no longer had to live in the desolate wilderness and remote corners like these Utility Disciples…

At the entrance and exit of Divine Fire Valley.

Li Changsheng was on duty here. Seeing Qin Feng, dressed in Utility Disciple attire, walk out of the valley, a depressed expression immediately appeared on his face.

“This guy, he’s only been in Divine Fire Valley for two days and he keeps running around. What exactly does he want to do?”

Another person asked with a strange expression, “How about we extort him? If we don’t extort new Disciples like him now, it’ll be hard to do once he’s familiar with the Sect’s rules!”

“Forget it. Even if he dies, he can only die at the hands of an Outer Sect Disciple. Let’s not join the fun.”

“Senior Brothers, you’ve worked hard!”

As he passed the valley entrance, Qin Feng smiled and greeted Li Changsheng and the other person, but both of them had cold expressions and did not respond.

Seeing this, Qin Feng pouted, thinking that Li Changsheng was truly fickle. Two days ago, he said he had something to talk to him about, but now he wouldn’t even respond to a greeting, worse than a woman!

… …

Under the night sky.

A detached small courtyard built of blue bricks and red tiles was bathed in starlight.

Inside the courtyard, there were all kinds of landscapes, including mountains and water, fish ponds, and potted Spirit Medicine.

In addition, the living quarters, Alchemy workshop, and cultivation room were separate. The courtyard also had a dedicated open space for practicing martial arts.

There were a total of six courtyards of this specification, but at this time, they were all vacant.

Half an incense stick later.

Qin Feng arrived at the courtyard ranked first, used his identity token on his waist to unlock the Restriction on the courtyard, and walked in.

The Utility Disciple responsible for guarding the courtyard had already received the news. Seeing Qin Feng use his identity token to unlock the Restriction, tears of envy immediately flowed from the corners of his mouth…

“As expected of a great Sect, the Spiritual Qi in this courtyard is three times as dense as the outside world!”

Upon entering the courtyard, Qin Feng immediately felt refreshed and also a bit proud.

He had been Cultivating for no more than three years, and had been in the Li Huo Immortal Sect for no more than three days. Now, he had already become a Personal Disciple of the Grand Elder of the Li Huo Immortal Sect’s Outer Sect, possessing his own independent small courtyard.

This achievement… was incredibly satisfying!

After a moment of excitement, Qin Feng unfastened the two Spirit Beast bags at his waist and released the Earth Spirit Ape and the Violet Lightning Thunder Turtle.

The two Spirit Beasts appeared in the courtyard and immediately let out various degrees of wails:

“Woo woo woo! This is great!”

“Master, this must be an Immortal Palace, damn it! The environment is too good, tens of thousands of times better than my Spirit Monkey Mountain!”

The Earth Spirit Ape leaped onto the rockery in the center of the pond, touching this and looking at that. The Violet Lightning Thunder Turtle also disregarded the composure a third-tier Spirit Beast should have, and splashed into the pond with a plop, happily pawing at the water.

“Finally, I can sneak out. I was suffocated in the Spirit Beast bag for so long!”

“Woo woo woo!”

The Earth Spirit Ape had already reached the Middle Stage of the fourth tier, equivalent to the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm among human Cultivators, while the Violet Lightning Thunder Turtle’s Realm was slightly lower, only at the Peak of the third tier, on par with Qin Feng’s current Realm.

Seeing these two occupying the pond and the rockery respectively, Qin Feng didn’t bother with them. He briefly surveyed the layout of the courtyard, then walked towards the room.

Today’s harvest was not only this courtyard and the Ten Thousand Pill Book, but also countless high-grade Medicinal Pills that were about to be synthesized!

With the help of these Medicinal Pills, Qin Feng felt that he could break through Core Formation and enter the Nascent Soul Realm at any time.

Closing the door and setting up several Divine Sense Restrictions in the room, Qin Feng took out all the more than ten thousand discarded Medicinal Pills from his storage ring.

Rustle!

Dense black charcoal pellets instantly filled and submerged the room’s floor.

Qin Feng stood in the center, a look of excitement gradually appearing on his face.

“These discarded Medicinal Pills are not like those trash Medicinal Pills from the Chang Sheng Sword Sect. After synthesis, each one can sell for a sky-high price!”

In his excitement, Qin Feng closed his eyes and quickly sorted through them with his Divine Sense, categorizing all similar types of discarded Medicinal Pills together, then rapidly synthesizing them.

Breakthrough Pill, Azure Soul Pill, Blood God Pill, Five Elements Hegemon Body Pill, Vajra Pill…

There were all kinds of strange Medicinal Pills he had never heard of. Among the more than ten thousand discarded Medicinal Pills, there were more than twenty types of commonly used Medicinal Pills for Cultivation.

What excited Qin Feng the most was that today’s discarded Medicinal Pills also included four discarded Enlightenment Pills!

“Heaven helps me!”

Qin Feng tucked the discarded Enlightenment Pills into his embrace separately, prioritizing the synthesis of other Medicinal Pills, saving the Enlightenment Pills for last.

Whether it was the Breakthrough Pill that could break through Realm Bottlenecks, or the Heaven Rank Medicinal Pill, the Blood God Pill, which could grant temporary invincibility, none of these things seemed as important to Qin Feng as the Enlightenment Pill.

In the early morning.

Qin Feng, who had been busy all night, already had dense red bloodshot eyes.

Exhausting his Divine Soul was far more tiring than staying up all night.

However, Qin Feng’s efforts yielded astonishing returns!

On the table next to him, there were more than twenty small jade bottles, each containing various Medicinal Pills, some Human Rank, some Heaven Rank…

At this moment.

Qin Feng was tightly clutching two Enlightenment Pills in his hand, debating whether to synthesize a three-pattern Medicinal Pill.

Just then.

Qin Feng suddenly felt his whole body stiffen. The surrounding world seemed to freeze at that moment. Even the sound of the Earth Spirit Ape and the Violet Lightning Thunder Turtle playing in the water in the courtyard slowed down hundreds of times!

Only his Divine Soul consciousness could move, as if he was about to return to the western heavens, drifting uncontrollably upwards.

Rooftop, tiles, Void Realm… His Divine Soul kept drifting upwards until it hit the Restriction in the courtyard and stopped.
