Chapter 174 Li Qianqing's intention

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Li."

"Please go ahead."

"Excuse me, Senior Li, is this kind of charge only for us, the affiliated immortal cultivation forces?" The Meng family leader was quite curious, because Li Qianqing, who was in the foundation-building stage, really didn't charge much.

"Of course." Li Qianou gave a positive answer.

Thirteenth Brother gave him two sets of charging standards. The first set was some benefits for the affiliated Qi-refining immortal cultivation family forces.

"Please ask Fellow Daoist Li to convey my gratitude to Senior Li on my behalf." Upon hearing this, the Meng family leader thanked him immediately.

This also made him feel that the decision to be affiliated with the Li family was really correct!

Li Qianqing had a good reputation outside. Today he saw that the price he had to pay for refining the first-grade superior Qi-gathering Pill this time was much less than he imagined, especially the second refining method.

Now that Li Qianqing is in the foundation-building stage, refining the first-grade pill must be more handy. The Meng family leader believed that his choice would have a good result.

Finally, after a few polite words, he left Changqing Mountain.

Next time you come, you must prepare several hundred low-grade spirit stones.

After Li Qianou sent the head of the Meng family off, he found Li Qianqing.

"Brother Thirteen, the Meng family needs to refine fifteen first-grade upper-grade Qi-gathering pills. The spirit medicines are all in this storage bag. The head of the Meng family chose the second payment method." Li Qianou said as he handed the low-grade storage bag in his hand to Li Qianqing.

Li Qianqing took the storage bag and took a quick look.

"Okay, this is a reward for you." After Li Qianqing put away the storage bag, he first gave Li Qianou three low-grade spirit stones.

"Thank you, brother Thirteen." Li Qianou happily accepted her reward. She only needed to move her lips to get the spirit stones. It seemed that there was no easier task than this. From receiving the head of the Meng family to now, it didn't take much time. "Brother Thirteen, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Well, go down."

After Li Qianou left, the stone door of the cave slowly closed.

Li Qianqing continued to practice before the second-grade lower-grade Shengling Pill was refined.

He left himself plenty of time to refine the pill.

More than ten days later, when the Shengling Pill was refined and absorbed, he began to refine fifteen batches of the first-grade upper-grade Qi Gathering Pill for the head of the Meng family.

As planned, he planned to refine four batches in a furnace.

It takes more than nine hours to refine a furnace of the first-grade upper-grade Qi Gathering Pill. Now he is not like when he was in the Qi Refining Stage. It is best to take a break after refining a furnace.

Now he will refine continuously. It only takes a little over three days to refine four furnaces of the first-grade upper-grade Qi Gathering Pill.

Time passed bit by bit as he concentrated on refining the pill.

Three days later.

Li Qianqing put away the flame and completed the refining of the last furnace of the first-grade upper-grade Qi Gathering Pill. It is best to refine three batches in a furnace, and finally make 24 pills, reaching a 100% pill success rate.

In the previous three furnaces, except for the middle furnace which lost two first-grade superior Qi Gathering Pills, the other two furnaces lost one pill each.

The more spiritual medicines there are, the higher the corresponding refining difficulty. The difficulty of refining four parts per furnace is not just a little bit higher than that of refining three parts per furnace.

The final number of pills in the four furnaces was 116.

"Give 108, and keep eight..."

When the refining just started, Li Qianqing planned to give 108 first-grade superior Qi Gathering Pills to the head of the Meng family, and he had to keep the remaining pills for himself.

Now he still has a lot of first-grade superior Qi Gathering Pills. Fourteen years ago, he helped the family refine the first-grade superior Qi Gathering Pills. In addition to handing over the family, he still has 340 pills left, and this is still the case when he handed over as many as he could to the family.

During these years, in addition to the large amount of pills consumed during the ninth and tenth levels of Qi Refining, many were used as rewards, especially Li Xunting, who got the most first-grade superior Qi Gathering Pills from him. Some of them were secretly sold after he entered the foundation-building period. Even so, he still had 52 first-grade superior Qi Gathering Pills left on hand, plus the eight now, the number would reach 60.

This is why he set up two refining methods, especially the second one, which had his intentions.

Compared with the first one, the second one is a mutually beneficial and win-win method. The more he refines, the more the other party gets.

The head of the Meng family chose the second one, which allowed him to quickly convert the first-grade superior Qi Gathering Pills into spirit stones without having to watch the inventory continue to rise.

Not to mention the six additional first-grade superior Qi Gathering Pills now, the remaining Qi Gathering Pills must be processed within the next ten years. Under normal circumstances, the medicinal power of the first-grade superior Qi Gathering Pill will begin to lose after being stored for more than thirty years. It is best to sell or use all these pills within twenty-five years.

After Li Qianqing handed the refined pill to Li Qianou, he left after giving a few simple instructions.

Next, he needed to practice supernatural powers and spiritual secrets.

With enough second-level lower-grade ascending pills, he didn't have to worry about his cultivation progress not keeping up with his plan, and the ascending pills also gave him enough time to practice something else.

At the end of August.

The head of the Meng family came half a month later than the stipulated time.

He also followed Li Qianou's suggestion, he could come late, but he must not come early.

There was definitely nothing wrong with coming late. If he came early, if Li Qianqing's pills had not been refined yet, then the problem must be with him, the head of the Meng family. Who told him to come early?

"Fellow Daoist Meng, are the spirit stones ready?" Li Qianou asked directly. If the head of the Meng family did not bring enough spirit stones, the refined pills would definitely not be taken away.

"Fellow Daoist Li, don't worry, there will definitely be enough." The head of the Meng family smiled, "Looking at Fellow Daoist Li, it seems that Senior Li's refining results are good."

"Of course, my brother's alchemy skills are not in vain." Li Qianou said as he placed the medicine bottle containing the first-level upper-grade Qi Gathering Pill on the table, "A total of 108 first-level upper-grade Qi Gathering Pills, excluding the basic 75, the extra 33 need to add 12 low-grade spirit stones each."

"The basic cost is 300 low-grade spirit stones, and the additional cost is 396 low-grade spirit stones, a total of 696..."

The head of the Meng family was very happy to hear this.

The result of Li Qianqing's refining was higher than his best expectation, but not too much higher. If possible, he hoped to get 105 first-grade high-quality Qi-gathering pills in the end. Here are the three extra pills.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, please count the number of pills."

"Okay."

The head of the Meng family opened all the medicine bottles and looked at them. He was naturally not looking at the number of pills. He believed that the Li family would never cheat in this regard. Now he was looking at how many high-quality pills there were among all the first-grade high-quality Qi-gathering pills.

After reading it, he was so happy.

Nearly 30% were high-quality pills.

He had heard early that there would be more high-quality pills among the pills refined by Li Qianqing, which was why when Li Qianqing started to refine pills, there were more high-quality pills sold in the Li family store.

This time, the head of the Meng family also proved this point by refining pills.

Originally, the Meng family leader felt that he had made a lot of money by refining 108 first-grade superior Qi-gathering pills, and now he felt that he had made even more money.

Unfortunately, Senior Li Qianqing is now only allowed to refine the lowest-grade pills, which are first-grade superior pills. If Senior Li Qianqing can accept the job of refining first-grade intermediate pills, he will definitely bring the spiritual medicine for refining first-grade intermediate pills to Changqing Mountain for help.

"Daoyou Li, this is 700 low-grade spirit stones, please keep them."

Li Qianou frowned, "Daoyou Meng, what do you mean?"

The head of the Meng family immediately explained, fearing that Li Qianou would misunderstand, "Daoyou Li, the extra spirit stones are not for Senior Li, you misunderstood, Senior Li is a foundation-building cultivator, he must not lack these spirit stones, this is just enough to make up the whole, and it can be regarded as a reward for your hard work."

"Is that so."

"Daoyou Li, if you don't mind, you must accept it." After seeing Li Qianou's face improve, the head of the Meng family immediately added a sentence.

"Okay, I accept it."

"Thank you, Daoyou Li."

"Daoyou Meng, I should thank you, why are you thanking me." Li Qianou smiled and shook her head.

This time, like last time, she also personally sent the head of the Meng family, but the difference from last time was that the distance this time would be farther.

After the pills turned into spirit stones, Li Qianou immediately found Li Qianqing and handed all the spirit stones to him.

Li Qianqing took a quick look at the storage bag that returned to him.

"Why are there four more low-grade spirit stones?" Li Qianqing looked at Li Qianou and asked.

"Thirteenth brother is like this..."

Li Qianou explained the general process.

The reason why she did not accept these four low-grade spirit stones was because of Li Qianqing. If Li Qianqing had not refined the first-grade upper-grade Qi Gathering Pill well and exceeded the expectations of the head of the Meng family, she would not have received these four low-grade spirit stones.

In a sense, these four low-grade spirit stones were not what she deserved. Besides, Li Qianqing had given her a reward before.

"So that's how it is." Li Qianqing nodded and understood the reason. "Qianou, this is given to you by the head of the Meng family. Just keep it."

"But Thirteenth brother, you have already given me the reward. If you take it again, will it be a little more..."

Originally, this was an easy job. Li Qianqing thought anyone could do it. Although she knew that Thirteenth brother was always generous, this time it was really a little more.

"This is given to you by the head of the Meng family, not to me." Li Qianqing looked at Li Qianou speechlessly.

"It's for you, so keep it."

As he said, Li Qianqing took out five low-grade spirit stones and handed them to Li Qianou.

Li Qianou looked at the spirit stones in his hand and was stunned for a moment, "Thirteenth brother, there are more..."

"It's auspicious to make up the number of five fingers. And I said, since it's for you, keep it." As he said, Li Qianqing walked into the cave, "If there's nothing else, go down and do your work. At the beginning of next month, if nothing unexpected happens, you will start to guide and train the family cultivators. You should be ready now."
