Chapter 1072 Do you have any enemies?
The elixir Qin Shu chose for the Lord of Linxian City this time is called the Nine-Turn Concentration Pill. This elixir is more difficult to refine than the Qianyuan Rejuvenation Pill.
It needs to be quenched nine times during the refining process. If the temperature is not controlled well once during the process, the elixir will be ruined.
This elixir is almost the ceiling among the seventh-grade elixirs. Of course, it doesn't matter if she can't get the first place. After all, what she wants is always the reward of the second place.
After adjusting her spiritual energy and mental state to the best, Qin Shu opened her eyes and started the furnace to preheat.
She prepared a total of five sets of alchemy materials this time. If all five sets of materials are destroyed, it means... this time is really not the right time.
She is not capable of failing to refine five times in a row. She is still confident of this.
The process of alchemy is monotonous and boring. The refining techniques and processes of most elixirs are also similar.
The previous process had been very smooth, but when it came to the sixth quenching, the temperature of Qin Shu's earth core fire was a little too high, resulting in the failure of the first pill refining.
Qin Shu cleaned up the waste residue in the pill furnace, adjusted the state again and started the second pill refining.
With the experience of the first time, she was particularly careful in the process of controlling the fire the second time, but even so, the pill pattern was not very obvious during the last quenching of the second pill due to insufficient firepower.
Such a pill should be considered successful, but it is only of the lower grade. It is probably not enough to take such a pill to hand in.
Qin Shu thought so in her heart and simply refined another batch of pills.
The third time, she had a very good grasp of the technique, fire control, and the rhythm of pill refining. It was not until the pill came out of the furnace and the refreshing pill fragrance floated out of the pill refining furnace that Qin Shu's face showed a smile.
Yes, this time there is a top-grade pill out of the furnace.
Such a pill will not be lost in her reputation as the "Black-clothed Zengyuan Pill Monk" if it is used for competition.
She took out a top-grade Nine-turn Concentrated Spirit Pill with nine dan patterns from the pill furnace and placed it in a jade bottle. She collected all the others.
After doing all this, she stretched her body and casually cast a cleaning spell to clean up the pill room.
Only nine days had passed, which was less than one-third of the days stipulated by the City Lord's Mansion.
Qin Shu pushed the door open and walked out. The servant guarding the door hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Senior."
Qin Shu nodded, "Where should the pills be delivered?"
"Please follow me."
Qin Shu followed the servant to the registration office. It was the housekeeper himself who was responsible for registering their alchemists above the seventh rank.
He saw Qin Shu coming out so quickly, with a little surprise on his face, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Senior, you have refined the pills so quickly."
Qin Shu nodded slightly, and with a flip of her wrist, a pill bottle appeared in her hand.
"Here, this is the elixir I made."
In her hand, a jade elixir bottle was shining brightly, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing.
The elixir in such a top-grade elixir bottle must be worth a lot of money.
The housekeeper's expression also became serious. He took the elixir bottle with both hands and asked, "Excuse me, what kind of elixir did you make?"
Qin Shu smiled and uttered five words, "Nine-turn Concentration Pill."
The housekeeper's eyes suddenly widened. Thinking of Qin Shu's idea, he immediately respected her.
He bowed respectfully to Qin Shu, "Senior, you really have an idea."
After saying that, he looked at the servant who was following Qin Shu and asked, "What is the room number of the senior?"
The servant quickly replied, "Room 8."
The housekeeper wrote it down in a booklet beside him, then looked up and said to the servant, "Take the senior down to rest first, remember to entertain him well!"
"Yes!"
Qin Shu was led to an attic, and could feel that the spiritual energy here was much richer than the surrounding spiritual energy. Although it was not as good as their Lingxiao Peak, let alone the Wen family and the You family, it was considered a paradise in the entire Linxian City.
Qin Shu habitually set up the protective shield, and then leisurely took out the communication jade slip to browse the communication square.
The communication square is still very lively today. Many low-level cultivators have completed the competition and sold the pills they refined at a high price. At this time, their pockets are bulging, and they are looking for what they need in the communication square.
But after a closer look, there was no news about the high-level alchemists. I wonder if everyone is keeping a low profile or if they haven't finished refining the elixir yet?
Qin Shu withdrew from the communication square and went to see the messages replied by the two junior sisters.
The messages sent by He Xin were very personal and active as always.
"The elixir was successfully refined, and a fourth-grade elixir was refined. Their City Lord's Mansion was really generous and took an extra 200 low-grade spirit stones. When you come back, let's go buy the latest robes of the Nishang Pavilion!"
Qin Shu smiled and agreed.
However, when she saw the message sent by junior sister Chiyu, the corners of her lips began to fall little by little.
[Return quickly, there are a few more unidentified monks outside our inn. ]
This surprised Qin Shu a little. These people were found faster than she thought.
She didn't even need to guess, she knew that these people were going for A Ling.
There were only twenty days left before the alchemy competition. Wouldn't they give up?
Qin Shu had no intention of enjoying herself in the City Lord's Mansion anymore. She asked the servant to pass a message to the housekeeper and then disappeared from the spot.
Her figure was so fast that it took only five breaths from the City Lord's Mansion to the inn where they stayed.
When they arrived outside the inn, Qin Shu frowned and frowned.
Why is there such a strong fishy smell?
Ah Shan also smelled fishy, but she was in her own protective shield, so the breath should not leak out so seriously.
When her cultivation level recovered, she would be able to control her breath.
Qin Shu landed on the roof, and her spiritual sense began to extend around the inn.
Her spiritual sense was much higher than her actual cultivation level, and the range covered was also wider than the normal late stage of out-of-body.
Within the range covered by her spiritual sense, she could clearly feel that two groups of air were hidden near the inn.
They carefully concealed their breath, but Qin Shu still saw it.
This breath... doesn't seem to be emitted by human cultivators.
Instead, it looks like a demon cultivator?
Qin Shu frowned again. Could it be that... they were not coming for Ah Ling?
Qin Shu moved and came to the door.
Ah Shan and Ah Ling were very obedient and did not step out of the door.
Qin Shu pushed the door open and entered. The two of them seemed to be talking about something. When they saw Qin Shu coming in, they both stopped at the same time.
Qin Shu saw this and asked directly: "Ah Shan, do you have any enemies?"
