After Cultivating for a morning, and taking a tea break, Qin Chu took out the Heavenly Fragrance Grass he had obtained in Heavenly Fragrance Valley and began Alchemy.
The Medicinal Pills he was making next were not for sale; they were for the Vermilion Bird Holy Land.
In the following days, Qin Chu stayed indoors, spending every day behind closed doors, doing Alchemy and Cultivating.
With Qian Lingwu gone, he felt a certain sense of loss.
Tian Jing often came to Qin Chu's courtyard, but Qin Chu had little interaction with her; most of the time, it was Lang Lang who handled her.
This made Tian Jing feel a sense of powerlessness.
Qin Chu was like a blockhead, completely clueless about romance, and Lang Lang was incredibly cheap.
But for the sake of her mission's smooth progress, she could only continue to endure.
One day, Qin Chu went out.
He arrived at the Vermilion Bird Holy Land's stronghold, handed over the Grade 4 and Grade 5 supreme-grade Medicinal Pills he had prepared to the person in charge of the stronghold, asking him to send them back to the Vermilion Bird Holy Land.
Afterward, he bought two jars of wine and went to the Alchemist Guild to see Chu Shan and Yuan Qi; Qin Chu never forgot those who had looked after him.
Seeing Qin Chu, Chu Shan and Yuan Qi were both very happy; they both thought highly of Qin Chu.
"Qin Chu, because of your supreme-grade Medicinal Pills, Heavenly Sword City is much livelier than before, and its popularity has increased significantly.
However, you need to manage the Medicinal Pills well.
Some Medicinal Pill Pavilions bought your Medicinal Pills and then resold them at a higher price, which is exploiting Cultivators," Yuan Qi said to Qin Chu.
"I'll talk to Brother Lang about this," Qin Chu said, as he naturally felt responsible for the Medicinal Pills he refined.
"Brother Lang? He's a lecher.
If a woman makes a request, he never refuses.
So, those Medicinal Pill Pavilions all send women to win him over.
This guy just turns a blind eye.
As long as there are enough Materials, this guy doesn't care about anything else," Chu Shan expressed his dissatisfaction.
Qin Chu felt a bit awkward.
Lang Lang's way of doing things was that as long as selling Medicinal Pills didn't result in a loss, he genuinely wouldn't care about anything else.
He needed to talk to Lang Lang about this.
After chatting with Chu Shan and Yuan Qi for a while, Qin Chu returned to the Yunlai Inn.
Entering his courtyard, Qin Chu saw Lang Lang and Qian Xun drinking tea and chatting.
Looking at Lang Lang, Qin Chu couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"Brother Lang, if you want to flirt, then flirt, but don't mess up the rules of the Alchemist Guild.
People are unhappy."
"Qin Chu, what's going on?" Lang Lang asked, looking at Qin Chu.
After sitting down, Qin Chu explained how Lang Lang had sold Medicinal Pills to the Medicinal Pill Pavilions, making them unavailable to Loose Cultivators, and how the Medicinal Pill Pavilions were then exploiting people by raising prices.
"Damn it!
They said it was for their own Family, that they had many junior members in their Family.
How could I have thought of such things?" Lang Lang felt a bit embarrassed.
"This kind of thing isn't appropriate.
The Alchemist Guild definitely isn't happy," Qin Chu said, looking at Lang Lang.
"Understood.
Whatever you say to do, we'll do," Lang Lang said with a smile.
"Brother Lang, I'm sorry, I got a little emotional!" Qin Chu said to Lang Lang.
Lang Lang didn't owe him anything and had helped him in every way, so it was indeed inappropriate for him to scold Lang Lang.
"This matter was indeed my oversight.
I'll be more careful when selling Medicinal Pills in the future.
If it's disingenuous, then it's disingenuous.
Let them curse if they want to!" Lang Lang said.
Qin Chu was puzzled.
"Brother Lang, why are you being disingenuous?"
"After eating, pulling up my pants and not admitting it, isn't that disingenuous?
But they tricked me first, so it can't all be my fault!" Lang Lang explained.
Qin Chu was speechless.
He hadn't expected Lang Lang to have already succeeded, but he couldn't control this situation.
Suffering a loss?
They were the ones who tricked Lang Lang first.
Afterward, Qin Chu refined another batch of Medicinal Pills for Lang Lang.
"Brother Lang, be careful.
Those Medicinal Pill Pavilions won't get any benefits now, so they might hold a grudge against you."
"Hold a grudge against me?
I'm willing to fall for a honey trap, but try throwing other tricks at me!
I can kill them!" Lang Lang's lecherous eyes sharpened.
He was willing to be a lecherous Medicinal Pill proprietor, and so he was a lecherous proprietor.
If he wasn't willing, then he was a Sixth-level King Realm expert.
Whoever caused trouble, he would accompany them to the end.
"The Jianghu is quite chaotic.
Being open and aboveboard is fine, but if they play dirty tricks, it's impossible to guard against them.
Brother Lang, still be careful," Qian Xun said.
Lang Lang nodded.
He was an old hand in the Jianghu, and he knew some things; many people had one way on the surface and another behind their backs.
After talking with Lang Lang, Qin Chu mentioned his plan to Cultivate in Heavenly Sword Mountain for a period of time.
"Perfect, I'll go too!" Qian Xun said.
Then Qin Chu and Qian Xun left the courtyard.
As soon as they left, they saw Tian Jing.
"Alchemist Qin, where are you going?" Tian Jing asked, looking at Qin Chu.
"I plan to Cultivate in Heavenly Sword Mountain for a while," Qin Chu said.
Tian Jing smiled.
"What a coincidence, I also plan to visit Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Let's go together!"
Qin Chu hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
He just wanted to Cultivate peacefully now and didn't want to stir up any trouble, but he also couldn't casually refuse, as it wasn't a big deal itself.
Upon reaching the entrance of Heavenly Sword Mountain, Qin Chu looked at Qian Xun and Tian Jing.
"You should know when to stop, and also, leave after Cultivating for a month.
Don't let the Sword Intent of Heavenly Sword Mountain harm your own Origin."
"Thank you, Alchemist Qin," Tian Jing said, smiling at Qin Chu.
Her smile made Qian Xun a little dazed, as Tian Jing with a smile on her face was very charming.
However, Qin Chu's resistance was better, because he had seen many beautiful women; Shang Shuyu, Qian Lingwu, and Zi Luan, who had a very good relationship with him, were all stunning beauties.
After giving instructions to Tian Jing and Qian Xun, Qin Chu walked into Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Qian Xun and Tian Jing followed behind Qin Chu.
After passing the monument area of Heavenly Sword Mountain, the Sword Intent immediately rushed towards them.
Qin Chu could withstand it without releasing his Sword Intent, as he now possessed Level 7 Sword Intent; even if he couldn't display it, the foundation was there.
However, Qian Xun and Tian Jing couldn't do it.
Both of them released their Sword Intent.
Upon reaching the Level 4 Sword Intent area, Qian Xun sat down to Cultivate, while Tian Jing continued to follow behind Qin Chu.
When they approached the Level 5 Sword Intent area, Tian Jing narrowed her eyes, then sat down cross-legged to meditate.
This wasn't her limit, but she didn't want to reveal too much.
If she showed too much, it would arouse Qin Chu's suspicion and make him wary.
After entering the Level 5 Sword Intent area, Qin Chu looked back, then protected himself with Sword Intent, and continued to move forward.
Crossing the monument of the Level 6 Sword Intent area, Qin Chu released his Battle Intent, which was mixed with Sword Intent, and began to use the Sword Intent of Heavenly Sword Mountain to temper his Battle Intent.
Watching Qin Chu's disappearing figure, Tian Jing's eyes were full of killing intent.
Shang Zhengtin had promised her that if she could hunt down Qin Chu, she would be given the opportunity to meet the White Tiger Emperor, Shang Ruoyu.
Being able to meet Shang Ruoyu meant having the chance to obtain the secret method of the Fourth-level Bloodline Awakening, and at that time, her status in the White Tiger Holy Land would be different.
Qin Chu didn't know Tian Jing's thoughts.
He urgently wanted to improve his strength.
The situation on the Holy Martial Continent was on the verge of erupting, and his current strength was completely insufficient, so he had to seize the time to improve.
