Chapter 218 This line sounds familiar.
Second-tier pills are extraordinary.
Not only are the required materials numerous, but the processing is also extremely troublesome.
Mei Hao had once observed the sect's second-tier alchemist refining pills; the pills he produced were a batch of second-tier low-grade Qi-cultivating pills.
He remembered that it took the other party a full seven days to purify and process the various spiritual materials, and after the process was completed, the other party looked weak and exhausted.
As for the final pills being produced, it took a full ten days, and only six pills were successfully made.
In other words, it took the sect's second-level alchemist more than half a month to refine a batch of Qi-Nourishing Pills, and only a little over half of the pills were successfully produced.
The alchemist in front of them was refining the Golden Crane Pill, a mid-grade second-tier pill, which was much more difficult to refine than the Nourishing Essence Pill.
But he finished refining it in just two days, and made ten pills!
Will all the pills I refine be useless...?
A flurry of thoughts flashed through his mind. Shocked, Mei Hao instinctively took the medicine bottle and removed the stopper.
Instantly, a rich medicinal aroma filled his nostrils. He scanned the medicine bottle with his divine sense and immediately saw ten round pills. The elixir, brimming with spiritual energy, lay quietly at the bottom of the bottle.
Judging from its appearance and spiritual essence, even though Mei Hao wasn't an alchemist, he could easily tell that this was not only not a defective pill, but a high-quality spiritual pill.
Now, Mei Hao was completely impressed by Yan Danshi's skills.
What Li Ping had previously acted so casually now appeared in his eyes as perfectly natural and divinely skillful, a testament to his absolute confidence in his alchemy abilities.
"As expected of a second-tier high-grade alchemist!" he thought to himself.
Just then, a soft voice sounded in his ear: "Fellow Daoist Mei, it's time to pay the remaining amount."
When Mei Hao came to his senses, he saw Master Yan calmly looking at him. He quickly took out spirit stones from his storage bag to pay, and kept saying flattering words.
A second-tier high-grade alchemist's status is far beyond that of an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
He accepted the final payment and saw Mei Hao off.
Li Ping stood in the courtyard, his eyes filled with contemplation.
To be honest, with his current alchemy skills, refining a mid-grade second-tier pill would be no problem at all.
However, the fact that it only took him two days to complete the pill also cost him a lot of magical power.
The reason he spared no effort to refine pills was mainly to intimidate Mei Hao, so as to achieve the best possible outcome and make him return to the sect to promote himself.
"It's pointless except for earning spirit stones. If anyone asks me to refine mid-grade second-tier pills again, I'll just refuse them."
Li Ping shook his head slightly and returned to the alchemy room to continue refining second-grade high-quality pills.
……
While Li Ping was busy refining pills.
Mei Hao also took the refined Golden Crane Pill and went to the Sect Leader Hall to pay his respects to the Sect Leader of the Flying Snow Sect.
"Sect Leader." He bowed respectfully as he entered the hall.
A pleasant, gentle voice rang in my ears: "Senior Brother Mei, there's no need for such formalities."
Mei Hao looked up and saw a girl with distinctive silver hair and wearing a white robe calmly stand up.
This woman had skin as smooth as jade, fairer than snow, a gentle temperament, and an outstanding appearance. She looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. She was Shi Yutong, the current sect leader of the Flying Snow Sect and a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Of course, she also has an even more illustrious identity—the only daughter of two Core Formation cultivators from the sect.
After only one glance, Mei Hao dared not look again and instead began to speak of alchemy. He exclaimed in amazement, "I personally witnessed Physician Yan's alchemy process. It was simply unbelievable, as smooth as flowing water. In just two days... in only two days, Alchemist Yan successfully refined a batch of Golden Crane Pills, producing ten pills, each a top-quality product..."
In his words, Mei Hao lavished praise on Li Ping, describing Li Ping's alchemy skills as unfathomably profound.
Hearing Mei Hao's words of praise, Shi Yutong's eyes also showed curiosity. After Mei Hao stopped talking, she smiled and said, "Senior Brother Mei, may I take a look at the pill that has been successfully refined?"
"Oh, Sect Leader, please forgive me, I almost forgot." Mei Hao quickly took out the bottle of Golden Crane Pill from his storage bag and used his magic to make it float in front of Shi Yutong.
Shi Yutong extended her delicate white hand, took the jade bottle, used her magic to open the bottle cap, and looked at the pills at the bottom of the bottle with her divine sense.
After a long while, she showed an expression of amazement: "Senior Brother Mei is right, this is indeed a top-quality elixir."
But what amazed her even more was Li Ping's alchemy skills.
She guessed that the other party was probably not a newly entered second-tier high-grade alchemist, but a senior second-tier high-grade alchemist, because it took only two days to refine the Golden Crane Pill and all the pills were of the highest quality.
The success rate of refining second-grade high-quality pills can probably reach over 70%!
Of course, what she didn't know was that Li Ping was actually a third-level alchemist.
After recounting the matter of alchemy, Mei Hao took his leave: "Sect Leader, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Hearing that he was about to leave, Shi Yutong quickly called out to him, "Senior Brother Mei, don't rush."
Mei Hao looked up and saw Shi Yutong using her magic to control the bottle of Golden Crane Pills, which floated in front of him. The novel, titled "Immortality Begins with Inheriting the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation," is a masterpiece of writing with a captivating plot.
Then, he heard Shi Yutong say with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother Mei. Please accept this bottle of Golden Crane Pill as a token of your appreciation."
"I've given it to me." Mei Hao was overjoyed, but also somewhat hesitant.
After all, he only made a trip, and the reward of a bottle of Golden Crane Pill is far too valuable.
However, after being persuaded by Shi Yutong, he finally accepted the pills, thanked her profusely, and took his leave.
Shi Yutong was left alone in the hall, watching his departing figure thoughtfully.
Her own cultivation had already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, so the Golden Crane Pill was of little use to her, but it was extremely precious to Mei Hao, who was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
So she directly bestowed the entire bottle of Golden Crane Pill upon Mei Hao, making him extremely grateful to her.
the most important is.
Originally, if she asked a Foundation Establishment cultivator to run errands, even if the cultivator had no choice but to agree because of her strength and status, he would definitely harbor resentment and wouldn't do the job well.
After bestowing the Golden Crane Pill upon Mei Hao, she became generous, kind, and a person who clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments.
In this way, she won't encounter any obstacles when ordering cultivators within the sect to do things in the future.
On the contrary, the other party will do their best to do things well in order to receive her reward.
Her method of managing subordinates was to give them spirit stones, and enough spirit stones.
Shi Yutong pondered silently, "If this Master Yan's identity is legitimate, what benefits can I offer him to entice him to join the Flying Snow Sect?"
……
More than half a year after the last time he refined pills, Mei Hao came to visit again.
However, he did not come alone this time. Accompanying him was a beautiful female cultivator with silver hair and a snow-white robe, who was around twenty-eight years old.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Mei Hao immediately introduced Li Ping: "Master Yan, this is the sect leader of our sect."
"Oh?" Li Ping looked at the female cultivator with some surprise.
He never expected that the leader of the Flying Snow Sect would be a female cultivator, and a young and beautiful one at that.
What surprised him at the same time was the other person's hair color.
As far as he knew, silver hair seemed to be a unique characteristic of a kind of strange person called "Yeti" in this far north, and the young and beautiful female cultivator in front of him also had silver hair.
Shi Yutong smiled slightly and said softly, "This younger sister, Shi Yutong, greets Fellow Daoist Li."
"You're too kind, Sect Leader Shi." Li Ping nodded calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Li?" Mei Hao was puzzled, thinking that the sect leader had misspoke.
However, he did not correct him, but simply smiled and said, "Sect Leader, Master Yan, I have some matters to attend to, so I will not disturb your conversation any longer."
He knew that the sect leader must have something important to discuss with Master Yan, and it was inconvenient for him to be present.
Shi Yutong smiled and nodded: "Senior Brother Mei, please go ahead and get busy."
After Mei Hao left, only Li Ping and Shi Yutong remained in the courtyard.
Li Ping invited Shi Yutong to sit down in the courtyard before speaking casually, "Sect Leader Shi, what brings you here?"
The young and beautiful female cultivator in front of him greeted him as "Fellow Daoist Li" upon their first meeting, clearly indicating that she had already investigated him and perhaps knew that he came from the Western Wilderness.
After all, he made no attempt to hide his relationship with Ji Shuxuan.
Anyone with a keen eye can easily find out by investigating, and by following the trail of Ji Shuxuan's connections, they can easily discover his origins and learn that he is a cultivator from the Western Wilderness.
To express his dissatisfaction with the background check, he deliberately spoke in a somewhat distant tone.
"Is Fellow Daoist Li angry?" As she spoke, Shi Yutong covered her mouth and smiled, revealing a playful expression that made it hard to scold her.
Li Pingsheng shook his head stiffly: "Angry? Not at all."
"Fellow Daoist Li, you misunderstand. Yu Tong did not investigate you on purpose. She just happened to discover your relationship with that young friend Ji, and that's when she realized that you are a cultivator from the Western Wilderness."
Shi Yutong smiled and explained, "After all, Fellow Daoist Ji's master is incredibly powerful, sweeping aside those of the same level. I never expected that Fellow Daoist Li had such a connection with them."
Li Ping nodded slightly, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over Shi Yutong's magnificent silver hair.
Following his gaze, Shi Yutong realized what he was looking at. She smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, you are not the first person to be curious about Yutong's hair color. It's alright to tell you, Fellow Daoist Li, that Yutong's silver hair actually comes from her mother, because Yutong's mother is a member of the Snowman clan."
"Oh? Sect Leader Shi's mother is actually a snowman?" Li Ping was very surprised.
He knew that there were many strange people in the far north, but he never expected that the beautiful female cultivator in front of him was actually a hybrid of human and Yeti.
"Yes!" Shi Yutong nodded gently. "Few people in the city know about this. I am telling Fellow Daoist Li today, and I ask Fellow Daoist Li to keep it a secret."
Li Ping nodded solemnly: "Sect Leader Shi, please rest assured, I am not a talkative person."
Hearing Li Ping say this, Shi Yutong couldn't help but smile: "By the way, Yutong and Fellow Daoist Li hit it off immediately. From now on, please call me Brother Li, okay? And Brother Li, please don't call me 'Sect Leader Shi' anymore. Just call me Little Sister Yutong. That's what all my acquaintances call me."
Li Ping frowned slightly; he felt that the other person's words sounded very familiar.
Just then, Xiao Yunzhi pushed open the door to the training room and walked out gracefully.
