The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

Chapter 235 Winning by doing nothing is the best.

With a calm and composed mind, Gu Qing opened the jade bottle, and a pure aura of divine origin, mixed with a strong medicinal fragrance, burst forth.

"It really is a top-grade Divine Source Pill..."

"Still nine, all full-fledged pills."

Even though the geniuses present possessed numerous treasures and had substantial wealth, they regarded immortal crystals as trash.

But upon seeing nine high-grade Divine Source Pills, he still couldn't remain calm and couldn't sit still any longer.

After all, the Divine Source Pill is a divine pill that strengthens the origin of the divine path and the origin of life. Who would complain about having too much foundation?

They had indeed taken Divine Source Pills, but those were only of medium to low grade; they had never even seen a high-grade one.

There are truly rare alchemy masters in the world, and it is extremely difficult to ask them to refine elixirs.

Putting everything else aside, the alchemy master's reward cannot be obtained with immortal crystals. Instead, it requires personal connections, equivalent treasures, or doing favors for the alchemy master.

In short, unless absolutely necessary, no one would seek out a master alchemist to refine pills.

It's more cost-effective to buy the elixirs they sell directly.

However, right now, there is a living, breathing master of elixirs right before our eyes.

This shows how excited they were.

"Sister."

After everyone had had their fill of watching, Gu Qing casually tossed the tea to Zhi Meng, sat down, and began drinking tea by himself, his expression indifferent, looking aloof and self-admiring.

Zhi Meng calmly accepted it, as if she were holding an ordinary item rather than a Divine Source Pill.

However, her inner world was not as calm as it appeared.

This is a Divine Source Pill, which she can also take, and it will be even more effective, rapidly improving her cultivation and strengthening her origin.

What made her happiest was that Gu Qing had advanced to the intermediate-level Immortal Alchemist, which meant he was not far from being able to refine top-grade pills.

There are too many ways to profit from this.

Perhaps she can find out news about the Time Essence.

"This……"

Seeing how used to it, Zhi Meng must have taken quite a few of Gu Qing's divine pills, right?

Perhaps Gu Qing's elixir is entirely in Zhi Meng's possession.

Upon realizing this, everyone's gaze towards Zhi Meng instantly changed.

Long Jue gave Gu Qing a gloomy look.

If it were just a single Divine Source Fruit, he wouldn't care much.

He desperately needed nine high-grade Divine Source Pills. If he were given all nine, his strength and foundation would definitely advance even further.

But Gu Qing didn't give him a single one, which was really hateful.

Long Juexin's heart was bleeding, but he forced a smile and looked at Zhi Meng, asking, "Junior Sister, are you also an alchemist?"

“I have no talent for alchemy,” Zhi Meng replied vaguely, then paused and smiled. “My junior brother possesses unparalleled talent for alchemy, with the potential to become a grandmaster or even a celestial king.”

"Junior Sister is absolutely right. Master Gu is unparalleled throughout the ages, with no one before or since..." Everyone echoed without hesitation.

It's clear that what Zhimeng said was true.

Gu Qing looks very young. To be able to refine a top-grade Divine Source Pill at such a young age shows that his talent in alchemy and his aptitude for cultivation are absolutely rare throughout the ages.

Moreover, they finally realized, belatedly, that Gu Qing's pill-refining speed was too fast.

It generally takes a mid-level alchemist about a month to refine one batch of pills; the better the alchemy skills, the faster the process.

It takes a high-level alchemist several days to refine a batch of mid-level elixirs.

They didn't believe that Gu Qing was a high-level alchemist.

But Gu Qing's alchemy skills are definitely more profound than what they have seen.

Given time, Gu Qingzhen might become a grandmaster.

As for breaking through to the Immortal King realm, they just smiled and remained silent.

If it were so easy for someone to break through to the Celestial King level, then Celestial Kings would be everywhere in the Celestial Realm by now.

After all, the immortal realm is never short of geniuses and prodigies, nor is it lacking in opportunities and inheritances.

Of course, these are not important.

How can they get in touch with Gu Qing and get him to refine a few batches of elixirs for them?

Long Jue looked at Zhi Meng with a burning desire in his heart. If he could take Zhi Meng as his concubine, would he still worry about Gu Qing not refining pills for him?

However, he had some doubts: were the two really fellow disciples?

Could it be that Zhi Meng kidnapped a junior brother from somewhere?

Shi Jingqiong shared the same suspicions.

After all, what power would be willing to let a promising alchemy master like Gu Qing go to waste?

If something unexpected happens, which power can afford to bear it?

In any case, if it were them, they would definitely treat Gu Qing like royalty and send powerful experts to protect him around the clock.

Don't even think about venturing into the secret realm.

"Gentlemen, I have little use for this Divine Source Pill. Do any of you fellow Daoists have your eye on it?" Zhi Meng placed the jade bottle on the table and spoke calmly.

Everyone "..."

Maid: "..."

You deserve to die.

Saying that, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?

The Divine Source Pill, which they could only dream of, became useless waste in Zhi Meng's mouth.

Hey.

Everyone was insanely jealous of Zhi Meng.

If only they had a junior brother like that.

Shi Jingqiong smiled on the surface, but secretly she was jealous. She thought to herself, "Damn it, what right do you have to be so arrogant when you're just a parasitic vine clinging to Master Gu? You're shameless, I spit on you."

Zhi Meng didn't care what others thought. She traded nine Divine Source Pills for two Divine Source Fruits and seven map coordinates.

He left a message saying that if he wanted Gu Qing to refine pills, he could just find her, and then he left with Gu Qing.

As the two figures walked away, everyone's eyes flickered.

It's obvious that Zhi Meng needs so many treasure map coordinates; she's definitely looking for treasure.

Their suspicions grew stronger that Gu Qing was a prodigy who had been lured away by Zhi Meng.

The two were behaving very strangely; who would take an alchemy master on an adventure?

With these thoughts in mind, none of them voiced their concerns.

They planned to enter the Soul Crossing Sea Starfield to investigate further.

……

"My disciple, guess what news your master has found out?"

"have a look."

Back in her cave, Zhi Meng was excited. She took out a jade slip, organized the information and map coordinates, and made a copy for Gu Qing.

Gu Qing glanced at it with his divine sense and a look of delight appeared on his face.

"Master is truly amazing."

This information is absolutely confidential and priceless.

You should know that many secret realms are fraught with danger, and they are so vast that without a map, you'll just wander around like a headless fly.

With map coordinates, you can not only ensure safety but also accurately locate treasures.

However, the coordinate information did not come from nowhere; it was obtained by countless cultivators risking their lives to find it.

"Not at all. If you weren't a mid-level alchemist and I didn't have some talent, I wouldn't even be qualified to talk to them, let alone make a deal."

Zhi Meng shook her head. She knew very well that she was able to find out the information so easily thanks to Gu Qing's identity as an alchemist.

"However, these geniuses have powerful backgrounds and are not fools. They have probably already guessed a clue, but they have ulterior motives and dare not ask."

"That's what Master said."

Gu Qing nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "It doesn't matter if you guessed it. No matter what methods they use, I'm not afraid."

Upon hearing this, Zhi Meng nodded in agreement, her joy evident as she looked at the incomparably handsome Gu Qing.

"My disciple has grown up and can protect her master now," Zhi Meng said with emotion.

Watching Gu Qing grow up little by little, Zhi Meng experienced the joy of raising a child.

"Master, you can go out now, I need to refine pills."

Overwhelmed by Zhi Meng's stunning beauty so close to him, Gu Qing couldn't take it anymore.

Although he is calm and patient, and can endure what ordinary people cannot, it doesn't mean he is willing to endure it.

Nine days passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Qing refined two batches of top-grade Divine Source Pills and gave nine of them to Zhi Meng.

"Master, take this to improve your cultivation. If you don't hurry up and improve your cultivation, I'll surpass you."

"Alright, just refine these few batches of elixirs into medium to high grade." Zhi Meng took out a storage ring and stuffed it into Gu Qing's hand.

He hurriedly took the Divine Source Pill and went into seclusion, a sense of urgency rising in his heart.

Gu Qing glanced at it: two batches of Divine Source Pills and five batches of Heavenly Soul Pills.

The Heavenly Soul Pill is one of the more difficult mid-level immortal pills to refine. Its main function is to cleanse and strengthen the soul.

The importance of the soul to a cultivator is self-evident.

Gu Qing might look down on ordinary divine pills, but he valued the Heavenly Soul Pill highly because it could enhance his divine soul.

"What a rich dog!" Gu Qing thought to herself with delight.

The Heavenly Soul Fruit used to refine the Heavenly Soul Pill is even rarer than the Divine Source Fruit, and its price is several times higher.

Moreover, they are not available for sale on the market; they may only appear at some large auctions.

"Confiscate two batches as payment, and refine the remaining three batches into medium to high-grade products and divide them equally."

Without hesitation, Gu Qing silently went through the process and began refining three batches of Heavenly Soul Pills together.

It also took nine days to refine eighteen high-grade and nine mid-grade items.

Although I didn't really want to refine such high-quality Heavenly Soul Pills for Long Jue and the others.

However, being a master alchemist is his most prestigious title. Only when the quality of his alchemy is better will people be willing to entrust him with the most precious elixirs, so that he can profit from them.

If his reputation is ruined, who will want to hire him to refine pills in the future?

Go collect the elixir of immortality yourself?

Let's forget about it. Treasures like the Heavenly Soul Fruit are extremely rare, and their preciousness is enough to cause a fight between people at the Profound God Realm.

He'd rather just sit back and reap the rewards, waiting for others to deliver the treasures to his door; winning without lifting a finger is the sweetest thing ever.

Gu Qing spent another nine days refining the Divine Source Pill.

Next, they refined ten batches of immortal pills for the Tianbao Merchant House.

This time, all the products refined are of the highest quality.

After all, Tianbao Department Store is his current backer. Although it may seem that he hasn't helped much, he can leverage Tianbao Department Store's influence to do many things.

He refined seven batches of pills for Tianbao Trading Company, and the remaining three batches were his to refine into top-grade pills.

Gu Qing took out the communication jade: "Sister Yu, has the formula for the Burial God Pill been derived yet?"

Jiang Yu: "Who are you? Don't try to claim kinship with me. I advise you to be careful with your words and actions. At such a young age, you should be down-to-earth and not do things like cheating and swindling."

Gu Qing: "Bomb/Bomb/Bomb/Bomb/Bomb/Bomb..."

Jiang Yu watched as a series of bombs were projected onto the screen, exploding like fireworks, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Jiang Yu: "I only contact Sister Yu when I need something. You're heartless, you're cold-blooded, like a fairy pointing fingers." (jpg)

Jiang Yu: "I'm not your sister, I'm your mother. (Little fairy hands on hips, cursing)"

Jiang Yu: "You always read my messages but don't reply. Are you still my dutiful son? (Image of a fairy waiting anxiously)"

She's even learned how to generate memes with a single thought now.

Seeing this, it's time to show our true skills.

After much coaxing, Jiang Yu finally sent over the recipe for the Burial God Pill.

Gu Qing continued, "Sister Yu, is there any way to avoid the Pill Tribulation?"

That's right, refining the Divine Pill with its special patterns involves a tribulation of lightning.

Moreover, it takes at least forty-nine days to refine a batch of Divine Pills with Danwen patterns.

Gu Qing found it too troublesome, which is why he hadn't refined it yet.

Now that I have some free time, I can try refining it.

The tribulation was just too much of a pain.

The terrifying lightning tribulation is determined by the grade of the elixir; a single misstep could destroy the elixir and result in death.
