Besides the improvement in his Realm, Qin Xuan's Physical Body had also improved significantly.
Although it couldn't compare to the first time the Refining God Cauldron was used for smelting, the improvement was still substantial.
Qin Xuan looked at his hands, which were as lustrous as jade, and nodded slightly.
These Origin spiritual liquids had helped him quite a bit.
"What a pity, the essence of that Yuqing Realm corpse has diminished greatly, otherwise it would have certainly elevated my Physical Body to another level."
"But this is enough."
Qin Xuan pondered.
"Next, I can refine some Medicinal Pills. To improve my strength, besides these spiritual liquids, I also need more Medicinal Pills."
During the three hundred years he was 'abused' by the Xuanji Empress, she had taught him Alchemy to help him recover faster.
"What's more, this Refining God Cauldron is the most top-tier Alchemy cauldron."
Back then, when Qin Xuan learned that the Refining God Cauldron could refine Medicinal Pills, he was incredibly shocked.
"The Refining God Cauldron can also refine Medicinal Pills?"
Qin Xuan had thought that the Refining God Cauldron could only be used to destroy bodies and erase traces.
"Kid, what kind of look is that? You don't think I only know how to kill and commit arson, do you?"
The Xuanji Empress was very displeased by this at the time.
"The Refining God Cauldron can refine people, Spirit Refining, and of course, Alchemy and Artifact Refining. The Refining God Cauldron is much more powerful than you think."
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan immediately began to search for a suitable Pill Formula.
The information the Xuanji Empress left him naturally included many Pill Formulas.
Soon, Qin Xuan found a suitable Pill Formula, but he didn't have the necessary medicinal ingredients on hand.
After much thought, Qin Xuan's eyes lit up.
"That's right, tomorrow I can go to the Qin Family's market in the city to check."
The next day, Qin Xuan left the Qin Family and headed to the city's market.
As the number one Family in Fire Wind City, the Qin Family naturally had many industries besides military power.
Among these industries, the largest was the Medicinal Pill shops.
Throughout Fire Wind City, the Qin Family owned a total of six Medicinal Pill shops, five of which were solely for selling ready-made Medicinal Pills.
Only one Medicine Refining Workshop, located in the best part of the city, had invited an Alchemist Great Master to refine Medicinal Pills, and ninety percent of the Qin Family's Medicinal Pills came from this Alchemist Great Master's hands.
Therefore, Qin Xuan headed directly to the Qin Family's largest Medicine Refining Workshop.
After less than half an hour, Qin Xuan arrived at the Family's Medicine Refining Workshop.
Several Qin Family guards at the door saw Qin Xuan approaching and quickly came forward to greet him.
"Greetings, Young Clan Leader. How may we assist you, Young Clan Leader?"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan pondered for a moment, then took out a list of medicinal ingredients.
"Could you help me prepare these medicinal ingredients?"
Upon hearing this, the guards immediately exchanged glances, and after a moment of deliberation, one of them bravely cupped his hands towards Qin Xuan.
"Young Clan Leader, it's not that we are unwilling to prepare the medicinal ingredients for you, but Master Qi has a rule that all the medicinal ingredients in this Medicine Refining Workshop are under his command, and we cannot take medicinal ingredients behind his back."
Master Qi?
Qin Xuan was taken aback.
He hadn't paid attention to the market before, so he wasn't familiar with this area.
Seeing Qin Xuan's slight confusion, a quick-witted guard quickly explained.
"He is the Alchemist Great Master our Qin Family invited from another city."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan suddenly understood: so this so-called Master Qi was the Qin Family's Family Alchemist.
Not allowed to use medicinal ingredients?
Qin Xuan could understand. After all, Alchemists have a significant demand for medicinal ingredients. It would be troublesome if others could use them freely.
"No matter, I'll go in and see for myself."
Qin Xuan nodded and then walked into the Medicine Refining Workshop.
At this time, the Medicine Refining Workshop was bustling with people, and pedestrians came and went in an endless stream.
Seeing this scene, Qin Xuan's heart stirred slightly.
This Master Qi indeed had some skill; the Medicinal Pills he refined seemed to be very popular.
Walking through the crowd, Qin Xuan's gaze swept around.
Although the Qin Family could refine many types of Medicinal Pills, not all of them were popular.
Some ordinary Medicinal Pills were good quality and inexpensive, making them very popular.
In contrast, some more expensive Medicinal Pills seemed ordinary.
This surprised Qin Xuan somewhat.
As Qin Xuan looked around, several sharp-eyed stewards saw him approaching and quickly came forward to greet him.
"Young Clan Leader, why have you come? If there's anything you need, you can tell me, and I can have someone deliver any Medicinal Pills you require..."
Looking at Qin Xuan, these stewards were visibly nervous.
What Qin Xuan had done had already spread, and they naturally understood that this Young Clan Leader was completely different from before, so they eagerly stepped forward.
"May I ask what Medicinal Pills Young Clan Leader requires?"
After a while, a steward cautiously asked.
"Oh, I need some medicinal ingredients, so I came here to see if you have them."
Qin Xuan handed them the list of medicinal ingredients he had.
Looking at the list Qin Xuan handed over, these stewards merely glanced at it roughly, then held the list somewhat awkwardly.
"What's wrong? Don't you have these medicinal ingredients?"
Qin Xuan was startled.
The Qin Family's Medicine Refining Workshop was already the largest in Fire Wind City. If the Qin Family's Medicine Refining Workshop didn't have them, then other families probably wouldn't either.
"It's not that, it's just..."
A steward hesitated, but under Qin Xuan's questioning gaze, he gritted his teeth and spoke.
"It's just that, currently in the Medicine Refining Workshop, the use of all medicinal ingredients requires Master Qi's permission."
It's this Master Qi again.
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm, I've heard about it, but I am the Young Clan Leader of the Qin Family. Taking some medicinal ingredients shouldn't be a problem, right..."
Before Qin Xuan could finish his sentence, the stewards shook their heads with strange expressions.
"Young Clan Leader, I'm afraid not. Master Qi has given strict instructions before that these medicinal ingredients absolutely cannot be touched. If they are, he will get angry."
"Therefore, no one dares to touch these medicinal ingredients now."
As he spoke, the steward kept watching Qin Xuan.
"What if they are touched? Does he dare to make a move?"
Qin Xuan's expression turned grim.
This was the Qin Family's Medicine Refining Workshop. Since when did it become his turn, an Alchemist, to control it?
"Master Qi certainly won't make a move; after all, he's just an Alchemist. But if he gets angry, he will refuse to refine Medicinal Pills."
"Our Medicine Refining Workshop relies on Master Qi's Medicinal Pills to make money. If Master Qi refuses to refine Medicinal Pills, then we'll be in trouble."
Several stewards explained, one after another.
The Medicine Refining Workshop was the highest-earning among the Qin Family's various shops. If this Great Master truly refused to refine Medicinal Pills, the Qin Family's income would plummet.
"So, he's so arrogant, so arrogant that an Alchemist can actually control the Qin Family's Medicine Refining Workshop!"
Qin Xuan snorted coldly.
This was the Qin Family's Medicine Refining Workshop. How could he, an Alchemist, be allowed to manipulate it so easily?
"Where is this Master Qi now?"
Qin Xuan asked the stewards with displeasure.
"Master Qi went out with his apprentices, saying he was going to procure medicinal ingredients outside."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded and was about to step towards the backyard. Just then, a clamor came from outside the Medicine Refining Workshop.
"Come, everyone, come and see! The Qin Family's Medicinal Pills killed someone!"
Qin Xuan looked towards the entrance and saw more than a dozen people, dressed in mourning clothes, carrying a coffin and shouting outside the Medicine Refining Workshop.
Passersby looked over and couldn't help but point fingers.
Qin Xuan's gaze swept over the dozen or so people, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Three were at Dan Xuan Realm First Level, five were at Foundation Establishment Peak, and several others seemed to be at Foundation Establishment Fifth or Sixth Level.
It was clear that these people were quite strong.
At this moment, they were carrying the coffin and blocking the entrance of the Medicine Refining Workshop, shouting loudly.
"Let the manager of the Medicine Refining Workshop come out! Your Qin Family must give us an explanation today! Your Family's Medicinal Pills killed someone, and you must give us an explanation today."
