Chapter 697: The First Alchemist

Seeing the latest ranking on the top of the stone tablet, many people familiar with the matter were talking about it:

"Elder Qin's contribution value has skyrocketed so much. Could it be that he really completed the alchemy task?"

"In my humble opinion, this matter should be settled, otherwise the ranking would not have jumped so fast!"

"I didn't expect that Elder Qin's alchemy skills are so good. I was wrong before! Now, with Elder Qin in charge, the sect no longer has to worry about the shortage of elixirs!"

"No wonder the head master would favor him so much. With Elder Qin's superb alchemy skills, this elder position is well deserved!"

"More than that, in my opinion, Elder Qin's alchemy attainments are so extraordinary. He is much better than the people in the alchemy hall. He can be said to be the number one alchemy master in our sect!"

"Senior brother, what you say makes sense. We'd better go to Jinxuan Peak to make some friends quickly, so that it will be easier for us to seek pills and refine medicine in the future!"

................................................................. ...........

At the same time, while everyone was talking about it, Qin Tian was already sitting in the back hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, leisurely sipping the good spirit tea, as if quietly waiting for something.

On the opposite side, Master Yunsong, with a face full of shock and horror, and eyes filled with joy, was counting the many pill bottles in front of him.

It is true that due to the decline of the alchemy hall, the alchemy task has been vacant for a long time. As the dean of the house, Master Yun Song is also under a lot of pressure. His black hair has turned to white hair due to worry. It has been an unknown period of time since he has not seen him at the same time. So many elixirs.

At this moment, Qin Tian has successfully completed the task, which not only solved the sect's shortage of elixirs, but he can also get a lot of benefits from it, at least some praise from the real master, which is definitely indispensable.

Although Master Yun Song was still a little confused and shocked about this alchemy task.

But in his opinion, these are not important!

What's important is how much benefit Qin Tian can bring him!

From the perspective of long-term interests, this is obviously a matter of mutual benefit!

Because of this, while Old Taoist Yun Song was shocked and ecstatic, his attitude toward Qin Tian was no longer just polite. He even directly invited the latter to serve tea at the main table without even having the word "respect" written on his face.

After about a while, Master Yunsong finally finished counting. After living for hundreds of years, he felt for the first time that counting pills was actually a very happy thing.

So he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of satisfaction and said loudly and praised:

"Congratulations to Elder Qin. This mission has been successfully completed. Elder Qin's profound attainments in alchemy really make me admire him endlessly!"

After hearing this, Qin Tian looked calm, as if he had done an insignificant thing, and said in a calm and humble tone:

"Senior Brother Yunsong is overly complimentary. Mr. Qin is just refining elixirs faster, but he really doesn't deserve such praise! But now that all elixir refining tasks have been cleared, I wonder when the next task will be released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Seeing that Qin Tian was humble and courteous, and showed no hint of arrogance due to his talent, Master Yunsong opposite could not help but nodded secretly, and then quickly said with a profound expression on his face:

"Hehe~! This year's alchemy task has been completed, isn't there still another one for next year? Don't worry, as long as Junior Brother Qin wants to make alchemy in the future, our Ministry of Internal Affairs will fully support it, and the Spiritual Medicine Garden will also fully supply it!"

Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel secretly happy, but on the surface he showed a bit of embarrassment, and said with a hint:

"So thank you to Senior Brother Yunsong for taking care of me, but it's just that the Alchemy Hall...!"

When he said this, Qin Tian immediately stopped talking, but the meaning was extremely obvious.

Sure enough, when the old Taoist Yunsong heard this, he quickly patted his chest and promised:

"Junior Brother Qin, don't worry. Everything here will be reported to the Master. Any consequences will be borne by our Internal Affairs Council. Besides, the people in Dantang are proud of their talents and have never taken the sect's mission seriously. This It’s time to tidy things up!”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Tian immediately felt relieved, and the only worries in his heart disappeared with the wind.

Master Yunsong waved his hand and played the transmission talisman, quickly mobilized the elixirs to the elixir garden, and then took out the sect's special magic weapon and began to issue a new round of alchemy tasks.

................................................................. ..................

By the time Qin Tian left the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was already approaching dusk.

Against the background of the setting sun, the five-color brilliance emitted by the Protector's Formation was even more brilliant. The entire Daozong territory seemed to be covered with a rosy garment, which had a different artistic conception.

Halfway through the journey, Qin Tian didn't know what he thought of, but Dunguang suddenly turned slightly and headed towards a remote place in the sect.

Not long after, as it kept galloping all the way, the light finally landed slowly in a quiet valley.

A three-story wooden attic can be vaguely seen between the trees in front of it. It has carved dragons, painted phoenixes and simple decorations, giving it a sense of time and vicissitudes.

In front of the attic, there is a stone tablet with three vigorous characters "Library" written on it.

What is surprising is that the library, which is the centerpiece of the sect, does not even have a protective circle around it. Even the door is open, as if there is no worry about the theft of the martial arts books.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian first looked around curiously, and then walked straight into the library without stopping.

It is worth mentioning that the attic looks ordinary, but the interior is a different world, it is extremely spacious and bright, and there are rows of wooden shelves against the wall, on which many jade slips, ancient books and other items are placed.

There is a wooden escalator in the deep position, but it is blocked by a strong ban. Obviously, if you want to go to the higher level of the library, you need a certain identity authentication.

However, such a quiet atmosphere was completely destroyed by the faint snoring.

I saw a middle-aged beautiful woman with a charming and drunken body in a plain dress on the inside of the gate. She was sleeping soundly on the table without any image, and there were even many wine pots scattered around.

Obviously, this person must be the guard of the library.

But when Qin Tian saw this, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes quietly.

Perhaps it was because with his current spiritual power, he was unable to see through the cultivation level of this middle-aged beauty. He could only sense that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation emanating from the latter's body, but instead there was a faint demonic aura lingering around her.
