Medicinal Pills for Blood and Qi have no Rank. The Rank of a Medicinal Pill mainly depends on the Rank of the Materials used by the Alchemist.
Because Lin Qing had just started to Cultivate, his body couldn't use Medicinal Pills of too high a Rank, so Qin Chu refined a first-Rank Medicinal Pill for Blood and Qi.
It wasn't long before the Medicinal Pill for Blood and Qi was successfully refined. As expected, they were top-grade Medicinal Pills for Blood and Qi.
"Young Master Lin, try one and see if it has any effect." Qin Chu gave a Medicinal Pill to Lin Qing.
"Thank you, Alchemist Qin. You can just call me Lin Qing." Lin Qing ate a Medicinal Pill for Blood and Qi and began to meditate. Qin Chu felt that the Medicinal Pill for Blood and Qi was quite good, so he refined another batch.
By the time Qin Chu finished refining his second batch of Medicinal Pills for Blood and Qi, Lin Qing had also finished meditating.
"Comfortable, very comfortable! That feeling of weakness throughout my body has greatly diminished," Lin Qing said.
"Then you can take this bottle too. I don't have Materials right now, and it's not appropriate to secretly use Elder Chu's Materials. Tomorrow, I'll get some Materials and refine some more for you. Second-Rank and third-Rank ones can both be refined," Qin Chu said.
"Oh, and my father, besides asking me to bring some Materials, also wants to ask Alchemist Qin to help me refine some Medicinal Pills for daily Cultivation." Lin Qing took out many first-Rank Qi Gathering Pill Materials and second-Rank Qi Condensing Pill Materials from his Storage Ring.
Leaving Qian Xun to accompany Lin Qing, Qin Chu began Alchemy.
Qin Chu refined Medicinal Pills with two Pill Furnaces simultaneously, at an extremely fast pace. In just over an hour, he had transformed all the Materials Lin Qing brought into Medicinal Pills.
Lin Qing put away the Medicinal Pills. "I didn't dare to disturb Alchemist Qin's Alchemy just now. My father asked me to choose a gift for Alchemist Qin. I don't know much about such things, but I saw this in my father's warehouse and thought it was good, so I brought it for Alchemist Qin."
As Lin Qing finished speaking, he took out a very vibrant, reddish crystal. The moment the crystal appeared, Qin Chu felt a rich energy.
"Young Master Lin, quickly take it back. This is a good item. If your father finds out, he will be furious!" Qin Chu said.
Lin Qing shook his head, "I don't know the value of this crystal. Perhaps it will make my father feel a pang, but he definitely won't be furious, because he said that as long as it can change my Physique, as long as it can allow me to Cultivate, even if he has to give up everything he owns, he wouldn't hesitate. So he won't get angry with me over this external object."
Qin Chu's heart was touched. Is this fatherly love? To be able to give everything for a child. What about his own father? Is he like this too?
"Don't worry about me. I'll talk to him when I go back," Lin Qing said.
"Alright, if it's important to the City Lord, then take it back. Also, although your Meridians are already open, they still need some nourishment. I don't have the Materials, but your family is wealthy, so you can find the Materials yourself. I'll write a list of Materials." Qin Chu took a brush and ink to write down the Materials for second-Rank Medicinal Pills for Blood and Qi, as well as the Materials for refining Meridian-Clearing Pills, before sending Lin Qing away.
As soon as Lin Qing left the Alchemist Guild, he saw Lin Han Yue getting out of a beast carriage. He had waited for half a day and his son hadn't returned, so he was a little worried and came to check. Previously, he hadn't allowed his son to leave the mansion.
"Father!" Lin Qing greeted his father.
"Why did it take so long? Your complexion seems much better!" Lin Han Yue looked at his son and said.
"Alchemist Qin helped me refine some Medicinal Pills," Lin Qing said.
"Get in the beast carriage, and tell me as we go. Your mother is also anxious." Lin Han Yue pulled his son into the beast carriage.
Once in the beast carriage, Lin Qing took out the Medicinal Pills to show his father.
When Lin Han Yue saw the Medicinal Pills for Blood and Qi, he didn't recognize them.
"Alchemist Qin saw that Qing'er was weak, so he refined this Medicinal Pill called the Medicinal Pill for Blood and Qi. He said there's also a Meridian-Clearing Pill that should be suitable for my son, but he didn't have the Materials, so he gave Qing'er a list of Materials." Lin Qing took out the list of Materials Qin Chu had written and handed it to Lin Han Yue.
Lin Han Yue didn't look at the list. He reached out and grabbed Lin Qing's wrist, checking the condition of Lin Qing's body. After checking, he nodded with satisfaction. "I originally planned to wait until your condition stabilized before asking someone to refine some Medicinal Pills to nourish your Qi and Blood and improve your Meridians. Now, there's no need to ask anyone else. This Qin Chu can handle it perfectly."
"Father, Qing'er might have made a mistake today," Lin Qing said.
"What mistake could you make? If there's anything, I, your father, will bear it for you!" At this moment, Lin Han Yue was in a great mood.
"Didn't you say to let Qing'er choose a gift? Qing'er saw a red crystal in the storeroom that looked good, so he took it and gave it to Alchemist Qin. Alchemist Qin said that crystal might be very valuable and told Qing'er to take it back, but Qing'er felt that since it had been given away, it wouldn't be appropriate to take it back, so he didn't. Is that crystal important to Father?" Lin Qing explained the situation with the gift.
After hearing Lin Qing'er's words, the muscles at the corner of Lin Han Yue's mouth twitched. "You little rascal, why didn't you let your father check it first? But no matter how valuable it is, it's already been given away. It's not so valuable that our Lin family would go back on our word. If it's given, it's given!"
"But Father is really hurting! When Qing'er has Cultivation, Qing'er will find treasures even more valuable than that crystal to give to Father!" Lin Qing'er looked at Lin Han Yue and said.
"Haha! Your words make your father happy. What Vermilion Bird Stone? Those are all external possessions." Lin Han Yue said with a laugh.
"Father, is that crystal called the Vermilion Bird Stone?" Lin Qing asked.
Lin Han Yue nodded. "That crystal is called the Vermilion Bird Stone. It was originally an item of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan. During the great blood war between the major Sacred Clans, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan's Grand Elder was killed, and this Vermilion Bird Stone was obtained by an Elder of the Flame Thunder Sacred Clan. This old fellow didn't hand it over to the Flame Thunder Sacred Clan. Six years ago, this guy came to the Heavenly Sword Mountain region to cause trouble, and I, your father, secretly 'dealt with' him."
"Was that the time Father was injured last time?" Lin Qing remembered that six years ago, he saw his father, dressed in night clothes, return to the mansion with a wound on his right chest.
"Yes, I, your father, remember. That time, you were so scared you cried," Lin Han Yue said with a smile.
"Father said that day that a man sheds blood, not tears. From then on, Qing'er never cried again," Lin Qing'er said.
"Okay, this afternoon, I, your father, will prepare the Materials for you. Tomorrow, go to the Alchemist Guild again and tell Qin Chu about the Vermilion Bird Stone. The main thing is that the Vermilion Bird Stone cannot be exposed to light," Lin Han Yue said to Lin Qing'er.
After a boring afternoon, Qin Chu and Qian Xun were about to leave when Liu San approached. "Alchemist Qin, where are you staying now? We have vacant pavilions behind the Alchemist Guild. You can move in."
"Is that allowed?" Qin Chu asked.
"Normally, only Alchemists who hold positions in the Alchemist Guild can live there, but I just asked Elder Qiu, and Elder Qiu said it's fine. It's not safe for the two of you to live outside," Liu San said.
Liu San then led Qin Chu and Qian Xun to the area behind the Alchemist Guild.
The area behind the Alchemist Guild was very large, with many pavilions standing tall.
"The two of you, don't run around. Some Elders have very bad tempers, and definitely don't go to that pavilion over there. That's the residence of the most eccentric Elder Qin, and he hasn't seen outsiders for many years," Liu San reminded Qin Chu and Qian Xun.
