Chapter 182 Banquet and Alchemy

At this time, the sect square of Feiling Sect was very lively.

Hundreds of foundation-building cultivators arrived at the scene and discussed the matter of Qin Feng joining Feiling Sect.

"Now Feiling Sect has become more powerful!"

"That's right, two Jindan stage cultivators, this is unique!"

"Who says it's not true? Two Dan formations in one sect, just thinking about it is amazing!"

"The share of the spiritual stone mine on this island is expected to change starting this year."

At today's banquet, in addition to announcing to the outside world that Feiling Sect has added a new Jindan cultivator, there is another very important thing.

That is, it is time to recalculate the distribution share of the spirit stone mine on Xiaoyue Island.

Just when a group of foundation-building monks were having a heated discussion, suddenly two groups of people flew straight towards the mountain gate from the north.

From the clothes they were wearing, everyone immediately realized that these were people from the other two sects of Xiaoyue Island.

At the banquet, Che Wuping stood up and flew into the sky to meet the two groups of people.

"Brother Guan, Brother Liang, it's been a long time since we last met."

Among these two groups, the leaders were two cultivators in the middle stage of the Jindan period, followed by several younger ones in the foundation-building period.

These two Jindan cultivators are Guan He, the Grand Elder of Tianying Sect, and Liang Xuan, the Grand Elder of Xiaoyue Sect.

"Brother Che is really lucky. He found a Jindan cultivator to join the sect!"

"I just don't know how long this Seventh Elder can stay in Feiling Sect."

When the two men saw Che Wuping, they immediately started probing him verbally.

Che Wuping did not answer, but smiled and said, "The banquet is about to begin, you two gentlemen should take your seats quickly."

In this way, he led the two of them to sit down quickly and sat not far in front of the main seat of the banquet.

During this period, Guan He and Liang Xuan basically never stopped talking, and kept asking Che Wuping about Qin Feng's news.

The latter avoided the topic, using some words that did not contain any important information, and dragged the two of them for a while.

Soon, he stood up and said, "You two, our sect's Seventh Elder is here."

Not far away, under the leadership of Che Yan, Qin Feng quickly arrived at the banquet.

For a moment, everyone looked over and looked at the newly appeared Jindan cultivator with curiosity.

Qin Feng remained calm and not at all nervous about this.

He encountered this kind of situation frequently when he was in the world of Joy of Life, and he was used to it.

"This is our sect's seventh elder, Qi Ye."

After Che Wuping introduced Qin Feng, he pointed at Guan He and turned to Qin Feng and said, "This is Guan He from the Tianying Sect."

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Guan." Qin Feng bowed at the right time.

"This is Liang Xuan from Xiaoyue Sect."

"Meet Fellow Daoist Liang."

"You're too polite, Fellow Daoist Seventh." The two men waved their hands.

"Don't stand there, take a seat quickly, the banquet is about to begin."

Under Che Wuping's arrangement, it was naturally just a formality. Qin Feng showed up and let everyone know about the situation of two people in the Feiling Sect who had formed the Dan.

Then comes the gift-giving part.

Some monks who want to curry favor with Feiling Sect will present gifts at this time.

Generally, few people give spirit stones directly as a gift, as that seems a bit tacky. Most people give magical instruments, talismans, pills, and the like as a gift.

Of course, the value is generally not higher than fifty spirit stones. Some monks who are willing to spend a lot of money will give gifts worth a hundred spirit stones.

Guan He and Liang Xuan naturally gave nice gifts.

What Guan He gave was a high-level magical flying sword, worth more than two hundred spirit stones.

What Liang Xuan gave was of similar value, but it was just some elixirs that could be used for cultivation by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

These gifts were all accepted by Feiling Sect.

Under normal circumstances, this is just like the red envelopes of New Year's money given by others when one was a child, and it will never reach Qin Feng's hands.

After all, these gifts were all accepted by Feilingmen, which was equivalent to a debt of favor.

If these people come to Feilingmen in the future, they will take action.

But to show his sincerity, Che Wuping gave all these things to Qin Feng.

Anyway, it's only worth more than two thousand spirit stones. Compared with the highlight later, it's nothing.

After giving the gifts, Qin Feng started chatting.

Most of the time, Guan He and Liang Xuan were asking questions, and Qin Feng was answering.

Thanks to his recent cram schooling on common sense, Qin Feng's answers to these questions were flawless.

As for the most crucial question, how long Qin Feng will stay in Feilingmen, Qin Feng did not make it clear, but just said "not short".

This was also what Che Wuping had told him in advance.

This kind of matter is too important for Feilingmen, so Qin Feng cannot explain it clearly, otherwise there will be problems in the distribution of the spirit stone mine.

"It's almost time, it's time to talk about business." Che Wuping raised his hand and a soundproof cover covered the four people.

"It's time to get down to business!" The smile on Guan He's face gradually faded.

Liang Xuan stroked his beard and said bluntly, "Brother Che, just tell me how much you want to take."

"Thirty-five percent!" Che Wuping said directly.

This small spirit stone mine on Xiaoyue Island has an annual spirit stone output that is roughly the same, around 80,000 spirit stones.

In the past, the distribution method of these spirit stones was very simple every year. Feiling Sect took 25%, the other two sects took a little more than 30%, and the last 10% was divided among the major immortal cultivation families.

Now that Che Wuping has opened his mouth for 35%, it is obviously an exorbitant amount.

After all, if it is increased by 10% directly, the 10% of the major immortal cultivation families cannot be touched, otherwise Xiaoyue Island may be in chaos.

This means that the Tianying Sect and Xiaoyue Sect have to contribute half of their capital each, which is no small amount, 4,000 spirit stones a year.

The two sects together give out eight thousand spirit stones a year.

"Don't even think about it!" Guan He was a little irritable and spoke directly.

"Brother Che, you are a bit greedy." Liang Xuan also frowned slightly.

When they came, they had already made up their mind that the bottom line was 30%, and they were negotiating towards 29%.

"So how much do you think it should be?"

Che Wuping stared at the two of them and asked in a deep voice.

He actually threw out this 35% to test the reactions of the two.

Negotiations naturally require verbal tugs of war. It would be great if it works out.

If it doesn't work, they can just talk about it slowly. His idea is 32%, and the bottom line is 30%, at least the same as the other three.

"I think 28% is a good rate," Guan He suggested.

"Three points?"

Che Wuping snorted coldly, "A Jindan stage cultivator is only worth three spirit stones?!" "That's not what you say." Liang Xuan stretched out his hand and said, "There are nearly a thousand disciples in the entire Feiling Sect. Are they not considered human beings?"

"If 35% isn't enough, then 34% will do. That should be fine."

Che Wuping fought alone against two people and finally reached an agreement, with Feilingmen's share increased to 30%!
On the side, Qin Feng said nothing, just observed silently.

At the same time, he thought to himself: This immortal cultivator is no different from ordinary people.

When he saw middle-aged women bargaining for groceries before, the way they spoke was similar to the way these people are talking now.

Anyway, the banquet was successfully held and everything that needed to be done was done.

There was actually a small episode during this period, that is, a disciple from the sect wanted to worship him as his master.

What a joke!
He knew nothing now, so how could he accept a disciple? So he refused directly and said that he would never accept a disciple in the future.

Soon, Qin Feng returned to the Sutra Library and continued his studies.

That night, Che Yan delivered the gifts for the banquet. Qin Feng picked out the unnecessary items and asked Che Yan to help exchange them for spirit stones.

In the end, Qin Feng obtained 1,200 spirit stones, and the rest were some useful things to him.

Three days later, on a street in the city.

Qin Feng's clone and his real body crossed each other, and a storage bag was taken into the hands of Qin Feng's real body.

It was clearly a single person, but because he didn't want to reveal his identity, he made the passing of something look like a spy meeting.

Of course, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is to pass the stuff on.

Afterwards, Qin Feng's clone returned to the sect and continued to "settle down" in the Sutra Library.

Qin Feng's real body left Xiaoyue Island and came to a nearby small island.

He had long wanted to experience the spirit stones.

This stone, which contains spiritual power, is helpful during cultivation and can speed up the pace of cultivation.

However, when Qin Feng took out some low-grade spirit stones for cultivation, he felt that the benefits were not very obvious, and the energy in them was a bit mixed.

The most important thing is that the purity is not high!
Maybe it is useful for cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, but for Qin Feng, who has already condensed the Golden Elixir, the low-grade spirit stones are of little help.

Of course, if you take out a large number of spirit stones and set up a spirit gathering formation, this can increase the cultivation speed by 20% to 30%.

But that would cost too much and Qin Feng doesn't have that money.

After testing it for a while, Qin Feng put the spirit stone away.

It would be a waste to use this thing for his cultivation. He has to use it to make money.

Alchemy, talismans, formations, and weapon refining are the four main secondary professions of immortal cultivators, and can also be learned in Feiling Sect.

Among them, talismans are the easiest to practice because of their low cost.

So Qin Feng started to practice talismans.

After March.

When Qin Feng was reading a book on the second floor of the Sutra Library, Che Wuping came over.

"Seventh Junior Brother, I have a commission for you to do. If we both succeed, each of us will get 2,000 spirit stones, and we can also obtain the materials of a sixth-level monster!"

Che Wuping was beaming with joy as he spoke. It was obvious that this commission should not be too difficult.

Level six monster?

Wouldn't that be equivalent to a monster with the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Jindan period? The materials of this monster are very valuable.

"I wonder what's going on?" Qin Feng asked.

Seeing that Qin Feng was interested, Che Wuping hurriedly said, "It's Tiemu Island's island master, Tiemu Lin. He's coming to my Feiling Sect, so do you want to go?"

After talking for a minute or two, Qin Feng learned something.

It’s Tiemulin, the island master of Tiemu Island, who wants to hunt down a level six monster!
He couldn't handle it alone, so he wanted to invite two cultivators in the early stage of Jindan to help.

Qin Feng and Che Wuping just met the requirements, so they came over to invite us.

Tiemu Island is just to the northeast of Xiaoyue Island, quite a distance away from here. It is estimated that the news that Feiling Sect has one more Jindan cultivator has spread over, so this invitation was made.

As for why two cultivators in the early stage of Jindan were invited, the reason was very simple. Tiemulin was also a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan.

However, he has an ancient treasure in his hand, and he has rich experience in fighting, so his strength is enough to rival that of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator.

If you ask for help from a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan period, you may get into trouble, so finding two cultivators in the early stage of the Jindan period would be just the right choice.

"No." Qin Feng shook his head.

Che Wuping: “.”

If you're not going, why are you asking?

Although he complained in his heart, Che Wuping still persuaded with a smile: "Seventh Junior Brother, this commission is basically not dangerous. You can be back within half a year. The materials of the sixth-level monster are rare treasures!"

"Junior brother, you haven't refined your own magic weapon yet, right? When you have these materials and spend some spirit stones, you may be able to refine a magic weapon!"

The main thing is that this commission is not difficult at all. They don't have to put in too much effort. They just need to help prevent him from escaping.

When he gets the sixth-level monster materials, he will refine them into his own magic weapon, which can also enhance the power of the magic weapon.

"Of course I want to refine a magic weapon, but I've been studying alchemy recently, so I don't have time to go there. Brother, you should find someone else." Qin Feng shook his head.

Alchemy?

You are a liar!

During these few months, Qin Feng has been staying in the Sutra Repository and has never come out.

But soon, Che Wuping saw that the jade slip in Qin Feng's hand did record the method of alchemy.

Could it be that this guy really wants to make an elixir?
Their normal annual expenses for Feiling Sect are around 35,000 spirit stones.

Their income used to be relatively low. Apart from 20,000 spirit stones from the spirit stone mine every year, the remaining 15,000 had to be made up by sect commissions, spirit plants, talismans, elixirs and the like.

Because of this, their sect could barely balance its income and expenditure.

Among them, the elixir column is the biggest one, which can bring nearly 5,000 spirit stones of income to the sect every year.

Che Wuping himself is not good at refining pills. He prefers making talismans and is an experienced talisman maker. Even so, the money the sect earns from making talismans cannot compare to that from refining pills.

If Qin Feng can become an alchemist in the future, it will bring a lot of profits to the sect!
"Junior brother, can you make pills?" Che Wuping asked hurriedly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"I've just started learning." Qin Feng said.

In the Tiannan world of immortal cultivation, although there are few rare herbs, there are still many common herbs.

If you want to become an alchemist, just keep spending money.

But here in the Chaos Star Sea, becoming an alchemist is not something you can do by just spending money, because the herbs here are too scarce and it is very difficult to buy anything.

So Qin Feng can learn to make talismans by himself, but if he wants to refine pills, he will need to rely on the power of the sect.

Even if Che Wuping didn't come, Qin Feng was going to talk to him about this matter in a few days.

"It would be great if Junior Brother had a talent for alchemy!"

Che Wuping pointed to the southwest and said, "The sect's alchemy room is over there. If you need anything, you can go there anytime and take as many herbs as you want!"

"If I refine the elixir in the future, the sect..."

"I understand!" Qin Feng nodded and said, "These are all minor issues."
