After resting for an hour and a half, it was already dawn. Qin Mian walked out of his house and saw his sister Qin Zhi sitting on a wooden pier in the yard looking up to the sky.

He quickly walked over and stood behind her, following her gaze to the sky, but found nothing in the target area.

After a while, Qin Zhi turned to look at him and smiled, "What are you going to do today? Are you going to receive the exercises?"

Qin Mian shook his head, "Sister, I want to sell yesterday's harvest and then look for medicinal materials. This trip may take a few more days."

There must be honey, possible earth emulsion, and 6,200 pieces of low-grade Yuanshi are still waiting for me to verify and harvest them. It is a big deal to find out and get them back as soon as possible.

Getting back the honey as soon as possible was his biggest goal during this trip.

Qin Zhi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's okay. It seems like you won't be able to bear it if I don't go out for a while."

Qin Mian asked, "Sister, what happened to you just now? You looked motionless in the sky."

Qin Zhi raised her head and looked into the sky, "I have been cultivating before and did not appreciate the world. Looking at it today, it seems that the world is very wonderful."

She turned to him and smiled, "You should also pay attention in the future and relax after practicing for a period of time. You will make many discoveries."

Then he stood up and said, "Let's go with you to sell the harvest, and also see my brother's first harvest, and share your happiness."

Qin Mian looked into her eyes and asked, "Sister, are you really okay?"

Qin Zhi chuckled, "Are you worried that I can't think about it? It's impossible, I'm still waiting for your Heaven-Building Pill. I'm accompanying you to sell the harvest, just to calculate how long it will take."

Seeing that she was really fine, Qin Mian chuckled and said, "Sister, I made a furnace of pills last night and reached the level of a first-level alchemist."

Qin Zhi opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Really?"

Qin Mian took out the elixir bottle and said, "Four in a furnace. First-class elixirs."

Qin Zhi took the elixir bottle and opened it, her eyes were red, and she choked and said, "My brother is a monster."

Turning to look at him, "What are your plans? From now on, will you focus on martial arts or alchemy?"

Qin Mian thought for a moment, "Majoring in martial arts. I won't give up on elixirs. Some elixirs still need to be refined by yourself."

Qin Zhi nodded, "It's good to have a master and an assistant. The practice won't be too single. Let's go and see what you gained yesterday."

The two came to Fangshi and went straight to Hongyuan Medicine Hall, the largest medicinal material trading place, and went directly to the third floor through the second floor.

The second floor is the trading office for precious medicinal materials or large quantities of medicinal materials, and the third floor is the identification office for rare medicinal materials. An elder of the Qin family serves as a senior appraiser here. Qin Mian only came once, following Qin Zhi, but she came more often.

When they arrived at his room, there were no guests inside, except for an old man with a white beard - their third great ancestor Qin Jingu, a monk at the ninth level of the Transcendence Realm who was nearly 6,000 years old.

Seeing them entering the door, he stretched out his hand to signal them to sit down. He kept looking at Qin Zhi, and after a while he said with a pity tone, "Qin Zhi, how could this happen?"

He was very kind to their parents and very close to Qin Zhi. He must have heard about her Xuanfu injury.

Qin Zhi grimaced and did not respond.

Qin Mian asked, "Great-grandfather, I would like to ask, what is the best way to treat Xuanfu?"

My great-grandfather was the best in the family in his research on medicinal materials. Being able to serve as a senior appraiser at the Hongyuan Medicine Hall that opened all over Canxing can prove his ability.

He works here and is also the great alchemist of the sect, the kind who can refine the best elixirs. He is also Fu Huo's master.

Qin Mian was able to learn alchemy from Fu Huo because Qin Zhi found him.

Qin Zhi didn't want to come here originally, but Qin Mian wanted to come and ask if there was any way. After all, he was the most knowledgeable.

Qin Jingu didn't look at Qin Mian carefully at first, but after hearing his question, he turned his attention to him and asked uncertainly, "Are you Qin Mian, have you advanced to the Chongtian realm?"

Without using one's power, the level below the transcendental level is generally not visible unless it is three levels higher.

Qin Zhiman said happily, "Great-grandfather, Qin Mian advanced yesterday."

Qin Mian's sister is the most excited about advancing.

Qin Jingu stroked his long body and smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad, the monster of the Qin family has finally shown his talent again. Qin Mian, what do you think is the reason?"

Qin Mian looked confused, "I don't know either. When I went out to search yesterday, I was chased by a group of ferocious beasts, and my internal energy was basically exhausted. After replenishing it with yuan stones, I found signs of itching in the meridians and acupoints. , so I kept eating Yuan Stone, and I advanced as I kept eating."

The things that failed to advance because of the system are secret and cannot be said.

Yesterday I talked about it with my sister, and I have to use this explanation today to explain it, and I will use this method to explain it in the future.

Maybe Qin Jingu didn't care how he advanced, he just knew that he had already advanced. After nodding slightly, he said, "If you don't move for three years, you will reach the sky with one move. Practice hard and tap out your talents. Can the Qin family do it again?" It’s up to you to go further.”

Qin Mian had never thought about this aspect. He only thought about how to help his sister repair the Xuan Mansion as soon as possible. When he heard what he said, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Seeing his uncomfortable look, Qin Jingu laughed and said, "Don't put too much pressure on him, just let nature take its course."

Then he said with a solemn expression, "The Xuan Palace is damaged. In addition to the Heaven-Building Pill, there are also spiritual roots and a kind of honey called Mason Bee. The spiritual roots are the best, and the Mason Bee honey is better than the Heaven-Building Pill."

"Mason bee honey is relatively rare. Even if someone has it, it will not leak out, because it can not only repair the mysterious palace, but also expand the meridians and expand the acupoints. I use it myself."

"Qin Zhi is a golden water spiritual root. As long as you take either of these two spiritual roots, the Xuan Mansion will be repaired. But if you only take one, the other spiritual root will shrink and may eventually become a single spiritual root. "

"There is also a strange thing called the Mansion-Building Fruit, which I saw in an ancient notebook. The note said that the Heaven-Building Pill is the worst when it comes to repairing the Mysterious Mansion. The Mansion-Building Fruit is almost the same as the Spiritual Root, but , the spiritual root can not only repair the profound palace, but also improve the talent."

Then he sighed, "I have checked many books and consulted many pharmacists and alchemists, but I have never heard of this name. I don't know if it is just made up."

Qin Mian's face was depressed, but he was a little excited in his heart.

He also knew about the Heaven-Building Pill and the Spiritual Root, but he couldn't afford them at the moment. Even my great-grandfather didn’t know about this fruit-making fruit. Who knew if there was such a thing? Even if there were, how much cheaper could a rare item that was no worse than a spiritual root be?

But mason bee honey, he knew where it might be found.

Seeing that the two of them were in low spirits, Qin Jingu turned to Qin Zhi and said, "Don't be impatient. Take some medicine to warm and nourish the meridians first. If the time is right, it is not impossible to get the Heaven-Building Pill and the Spiritual Root."

Turning to Qin Mian, he said, "I'll leave this task to you."

Qin Mian's eyes suddenly lit up, "Great-grandfather, what can I do?"

Qin Jingu stroked his beard and said, "In one year, the secret realm of Medicine Valley will be opened, and spiritual roots may appear there."

The Secret Realm of Medicine Valley?

Qin Mian had never heard of it and turned to look at Qin Zhi with confusion.

Qin Zhi explained, "The secret realm of Medicine Valley is a small space, located at the junction of the central and southern parts, in a grand canyon. It is said that it was the location of a medicine field of a medicine refining sect in ancient times, and it was only opened once every hundred years."

Qin Mian's first reaction was: It only opens once every hundred years, how many good medicines will there be in it? How many herbs will die?

Qin Jingu nodded, "Qin Zhi is right. Some people have harvested water spirit roots and wood spirit roots in it before. Qin Zhi can use water spirit roots. If she gets wood spirit roots, she can exchange them with others, or she can sell them to buy Tianbu Dan. .”

"Every time the Medicine Valley Secret Realm is opened, not only the big and small forces in the central and southern areas will organize people to go in, but also many people from the other three continents will come, and the sect will also send people there every time."

Before they could ask questions, he continued, "Not everyone can enter the Medicine Valley Secret Realm. The highest level restricted by the formation is the Xiantian Realm. The sect has decided that the Xiantian Realm, Houtian Realm and Chongtian Realm will be selected for this competition. The top 200 people in the realm can choose to enter. It is useless to enter the Kaimai realm, as you can't beat others. You are now in the Chongtian realm, so you can go in and try your luck."

Qin Zhi immediately said, "Great-grandfather, my brother has just advanced. There are so many innate realms and acquired realms that have no chance at all, so he shouldn't take the risk. I have read the relevant records of the sect. Every time it is opened, Chong Chong who enters has no chance." There are no less than a thousand people in the Heaven Realm, but no more than a hundred people come out in the end. Those who come out are all protected by a few Xiantian Realms and only go in to see it."

"Qin Mian is now a first-level alchemy master. He said he wanted to..."

Qin Jingu looked at Qin Mian with wide eyes and interrupted Qin Zhi, "Are you a first-level alchemist now?"

Qin Mian hurriedly handed him the elixir bottle and said humbly, "Great-grandfather, I just think it has reached the level of a first-level alchemist, but I haven't asked Great Alchemist Fu Huo to confirm it yet."

But I was thinking in my heart, even if my sister's Xuan Palace has been repaired, I must enter the Medicine Valley Secret Realm, because the spiritual roots are useful to everyone; in the sect competition, it seems that I have to go all out, if I can't get into the top 200, I won't have any chance.

A strong sense of crisis arose in my heart.

He was undefeated after several moves against Pan Yun. That was because he had poor combat experience. He was thrown off balance by a surprise attack by himself. It did not mean that he could compete with others in the early stages of the Houtian realm. Otherwise, Pan Yun would not have been able to fight for 10 years. Even if you can deal with the early stage of the acquired state, there are still a lot of middle and late acquired states, and even more innate states.

There is also a strong sense of urgency.

Now that I have just entered the Chongtian realm, facing so many acquired and innate realms, if I want to gain something and save my life, I need to upgrade the realm and improve my combat power as soon as possible...

Qin Jingu poured out an Yuan Neng Dan into the palm of his hand, nodded and said, "Yes, it is really at the level of a first-level alchemist, almost close to the level of a second-level alchemist. Qin Mian, you can refine it just after you advance to the Chongtian realm." If you can produce such an elixir, you are very talented in alchemy. From now on, please make elixirs with me."

Seeing Qin Mian's eyes wandering, Qin Zhi quickly tugged on his sleeves.

Qin Mian's soul and spirit united in an instant, and he clasped his fists and said, "Great-grandfather, my ambition is to practice martial arts, and alchemy is just a supplement. If you have any questions about alchemy in the future, please come and ask great-grandfather for advice."

The answer was very direct and clear.

Seeing that Great-grandfather seemed to be choking, he asked sheepishly, "Great-grandfather, I also want to ask a question. Is the honey produced by mason bees of any level useful in repairing the Xuan Palace?"

Hearing Qin Mian be so direct, Qin Jingu felt a little unhappy. After all, he is also a rare third-level alchemist in the south, so he was rejected like this?

Pressing down the fluctuation in his heart, he responded, "Both the pharmacopoeia and the notes say that honey has a repairing effect on Xuanfu. But the specific level of mason bee honey required is not explained in detail anywhere."

This question was actually something Qin Mian had just thought of. But no matter what the answer is, he has to go get the honey. It's better than nothing.

Qin Jingu reached out and waved a pill bottle, "Qin Zhi, I have 100 drops of earth lotion diluted a thousand times, one drop a day. It will not continue to collapse for a hundred days."

Seeing his sister's hesitation, Qin Mian stepped forward to catch it and bowed, "Thank you, great-grandfather."

The elders gave it to me, but I dare not refuse it.

What's more, my sister is in urgent need of such things now. As for favors, I will just repay the favor in the future.

Qin Jingu waved his hand, "Is there anything else?"

Qin Mian said quickly, "There's nothing else."

Great-grandfather's words already hinted that they could leave, so of course he couldn't be ignorant.

The goal has been achieved, and he himself wants to leave.
