Chapter 13: Alchemy Technique_1

"Mm, grow up quickly."

Starting a family tree is always the most difficult, with few people and many tasks. Although Qin Changqing was a little impatient, he still took it slowly and patiently, using his laid-back nature to his advantage.

After Xi'er and Lian Caini gave birth to their children one after another, Qin Changqing found that the system rewards had changed a bit.

[Ding~ The total number of family members has reached 10, reward 10 Life Extension Pills and a 10-year increase in sub-professional experience.]

Xi'er's child had no Spiritual Root, and Lian Caini's child only had a Tier 9 Low-level root.

This proved that the probability of being born with a Spiritual Root was indeed very low.

However, after the birth of the two children, the rewards for family members made Qin Changqing's eyes light up.

According to the system introduction, the Life Extension Pill can increase the lifespan by ten years, but cultivators at each stage can only take up to three pills.

In the Cultivation World, this pill is considered mediocre – not useful for those with good aptitude and of little help to those with poor aptitude who would still make little progress even after practicing for a few more years. However, for mortals and low-level cultivators, the temptation is indeed great. As for the sub-professions, they include Artifact Refining, Talisman Seals, Array Formations, Elixirs, and so on.

Qin Changqing had studied these before, but his talents were not outstanding. Since he was already short on time to improve his cultivation, he didn't spend much time on these before giving up.

But now it's different – he wants to develop the Qin family, and sub-professions are very useful.

For example, if he becomes an Alchemist himself, he can refine some low-level elixirs to sell in the Commerce Association.

After all, he can't always rely on plucking wool from the Lingxiao Sect. Xuanyi Peak has only so many disciples, and he doesn't have a good relationship with members of other Peaks. If he is targeted by someone with ulterior motives, his actions as a worldly disciple who has already descended the mountain would be somewhat against the rules.

After some consideration, Qin Changqing chose Alchemy.

Alchemy is divided into nine stages, each with three grades: high, medium, and low.

After he received the ten-year experience reward, he actually reached Tier 1 Medium grade.

It seems that my talent in Alchemy is not bad."

Qin Changqing thought to himself.

In fact, reaching Mid-level in ten years at Lingxiao Sect's Dan Peak lineage is considered very poor.

However, compared to his original cultivation aptitude, this was actually quite good.

His system panel was as follows:

[Host: Qin Changqing]

[Spiritual Root: Tier 9 Mid-level]

[Cultivation: Qi-Refining Stage 8]

[Sub-profession: Alchemy (Tier 1 Medium)]

[Family Members: 10]

[Family Fortune: 1756]

[Offspring: 6]

"Qi-Refining Stage 8, it hasn't even been ten years since I left the mountain, and I have already jumped four levels in a row. It's true that a transmigrator with a system is the best."

Qin Changqing sighed with emotion.

He then turned his attention to the art of Alchemy.

A Tier 1 Medium Alchemist can refine ordinary Gathering Spirit Pills and Detoxification Pills. Qin Changqing bought some medicinal materials through the Commerce Association and found that the success rate of refining the pills was astonishing.

Normally, a Tier 1 Medium Alchemist would have a success rate of less than 50% when refining Gathering Spirit Pills.

However, Qin Changqing had a success rate of more than 80%.

Moreover, the color of the pills was excellent.

It was apparent that the ten years of Alchemy experience granted to him by the system was of a very solid foundation.

"Husband, where did you get so many Gathering Spirit Pills?" Su Xiaoyue was shocked when she received the storage bag handed over by Qin Changqing and checked its contents with her divine sense.

There were more than two hundred Gathering Spirit Pills inside.

If it weren't for the fact that Qin Changqing hadn't left the house today, she would have thought he had robbed Xuanyi Peak.

Qin Changqing laughed, "Of course I refined them myself, you remember I asked you to buy a lot of medicinal herbs before, right?"

"You can actually refine pills, husband?" Su Xiaoyue was very surprised.

"Of course, is there anything your husband can't do?" Qin Changqing smiled and kissed her, "I have a lot of skills, and I'll teach you tonight."

Su Xiaoyue's pretty face turned red.Even though they had been married for several years, Qin Changqing still couldn't help but laugh heartily at her thin-skinned reaction.

At this moment, a little one came running over and held out his hands towards Qin Changqing.

"Father, father, Ru Yue wants a kiss too."

"Alright, everyone gets a kiss!"

After having two more children, Qin Changqing's life had become slightly 'calmer'.

It couldn't be helped; with so many children and all of them being so young, it was difficult to manage them all.

If he wasn't careful, something could easily go wrong.

Qin Changqing planned on waiting a few more years before sending the children to the sect.

Of course, slowing down the baby-making process didn't mean stopping it completely.

After all, Xi'er was determined to have more children. As long as it wasn't during the time when Su Yue and Lian Cai Ni were entrusted with important tasks, she would visit Qin Changqing's room every night. Little Xiaoyue seemed to have become addicted to playing the female knight, not resting until they had spent the entire night together.

Qin Changqing's kidneys were in pain.

His cultivation was still too shallow.

A month later, Jin Hong arrived at Qin's family.

"Brother Qin, the Loose Cultivator Fair on Xianfeng Ridge is opening soon, do you want to go?"

The Loose Cultivator Fair was held once every ten years and lasted for a month.

During this period, loose cultivators would gather together to trade items and fulfill each other's needs.

Of course, this event also had other purposes, such as finding Taoist couples.

As the saying goes, cultivating is difficult, and loose cultivators have no prospects. In the end, they will always form cultivation families.

Thus, it was very common for loose cultivators to seek out Taoist partners in these circles.

Many beautiful female cultivators also sought out talented and powerful partners.

Qin Changqing stroked his chin. He didn't care much about finding a Taoist couple, he mainly wanted to broaden his horizons.

The Loose Cultivator Fair was held on Xianfeng Ridge, about three hundred miles away from Heiyu Town. It was the most bustling gathering place for loose cultivators in the northern part of Yinxu Prefecture.

Although the fair had many participants, there were very few powerful cultivators.

Most of them were at the Qi-Refining Stage, with the occasional few at the Establishing Foundation Stage. These individuals were always surrounded by crowds of admirers.

As for Golden Elixir cultivators, if they wanted to attend, they would go directly to Yinxu Prefecture. No one would bother coming to such a small place.

However, this was just what Qin Changqing wanted. If there were loads of Golden Elixir cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators were as common as dogs, he would definitely not go.

After all, he simply wanted to expand his horizons and didn't need to chase after any great opportunities or seek the guidance of an expert.

As for looking for a Taoist partner, he would, of course, keep it in mind since multiple offspring meant more blessings.

The next day, Qin Changqing and Jin Hong set off on horseback.

"Brother Qin, Yinxu Prefecture governs over a hundred towns. If you have a chance, you can actually apply to be transferred there," said Jin Hong.

He believed that with Qin Changqing's background, even if his strength was average, it wouldn't be difficult to go to Yinxu Prefecture.

"At Yinxu Prefecture, the lowest rank of enforcers is at least at the fifth level of the Establishing Foundation Stage, right?" Qin Changqing asked.

"Yes, they are the Outer Sect Enforcers of the sect, mainly responsible for worldly affairs. Those like us who have been sent down, if we were to use a more professional term, would be called Heavenly Feet. We are responsible for matters in the lower villages and towns. Yinxu Prefecture has higher-ranking senior brothers coordinating with us, such as during the quarterly collection of accounts… Oh, you've never been there."

Jin Hong suddenly realized that Qin Changqing had never been to Yinxu Prefecture.

Actually, such matters were generally handled by newly arrived members.

However, Qin Changqing had his special elder disciple status to back him up. Moreover, during his several years of being at the base, he was either having children or on his way to have more children. Jin Hong secretly decided to entrust these tasks to him and Lian Caini.

As for the present, Lian Caini was also either having children or on her way to have more children, and now it had become his sole responsibility to handle everything.

Well, doing more work and complaining less was something Jin Hong had already grown accustomed to.

Qin Changqing laughed and said, "I'll go next time."

"Never mind, I'm used to doing this. I'm efficient at it. You just focus on having children with Sister Lian," Jin Hong teased.

Qin Changqing just smiled and didn't say anything.

This guy was pretty good-natured and pragmatic. If he had the opportunity in the future, he could give him some help.

However, when it came to Yinxu Prefecture, the development prospects there were indeed much greater than those of Heiyu Town. Even if a cultivation family grew very big in this small town, it still wouldn't be considered anything special. To seek development, they had to go to Yinxu Prefecture.

However, going there would mean being farther away from the Lingxiao Sect. Additionally, with the complexities of large cities, it would be best to consider such matters after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage.
