"Fellow Daoist Lvu, rest assured, no one understands Foundation Establishment Pill better than I do."

Qin Ming saw that Lvu Liang seemed a bit uncertain about him, and immediately spoke.

"It's not that, Fellow Daoist Qin's alchemy skills are renowned in Vast Sea Immortal City, I naturally have every confidence in Fellow Daoist Qin."

"But this... the pill formula has just been acquired, shouldn't you take another look?" Lvu Liang forced a smile and said.

Beside him, Lvu Wanjun's heart was also pounding, after all, this concerned her own Immortal Path's Foundation Establishment Pill.

"No matter, Qin's method for refining Foundation Establishment Pill is simply a matter of familiarity." Qin Ming only put away the Tier Two Middle Wind Attribute Demon Pill, then said, "The method for refining Foundation Establishment Pill with Demon Pill, only a few rare Demon Pills can be used as medicine, other Tier Two Demon Pills cannot."

"Coincidentally, Fellow Daoist Lvu's pill meets the criteria, but that Scale Fire Salamander's Demon Pill cannot be used to refine Foundation Establishment Pill."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Lvu master and apprentice both turned even more unpleasant.

Without waiting for them to consider further, Qin Ming had already left the table.

Without another word, he directly took out the Profound Jade Furnace and placed it on the ground, preparing to start refining.

"Fellow Daoist Lvu, please hand me the remaining auxiliary materials," Qin Ming said bluntly.

Lvu Liang, seeing this, didn't hesitate any longer. Since he decided to entrust the matter of alchemy to Fellow Daoist Qin, he could only wholeheartedly trust him.

He immediately took out all the spiritual materials and handed them over to Qin Ming.

As the spiritual materials were handed over, Lvu Liang's heart was trembling...

"Wanjun, let's wait outside, we shouldn't disturb Fellow Daoist Qin's alchemy." After giving the materials, Lvu Liang called his disciple to prepare to wait outside.

Only to hear Qin Ming say calmly, "No need, it won't take long."

Both Lvu Liang and his disciple were stunned upon hearing this.

They didn't expect Qin Ming to be so confident and at ease, and even with people present during the pill refinement, he seemed unconcerned.

This showed an incredible confidence in his alchemy skills!

Thinking of this, Lvu Liang's face showed a hint of delight, perhaps Fellow Daoist Qin truly had a great chance of success.

Next to him, Lvu Wanjun was also extremely excited; what a rare opportunity it was to watch the refinement of the legendary Foundation Establishment Pill up close!

While the two were lost in their thoughts.

Qin Ming had already started refining. All the spiritual materials were poured out, controlled by his powerful Divine Thought, floating around him.

Boom!

With a single-hand gesture, an icy blue flame appeared in Qin Ming's hand, none other than the advanced Spirit-Devouring Poison Flame.

Lvu Liang, upon seeing the icy blue flame, was suddenly shocked, feeling an extremely uneasy sensation.

It was even more terrifying than the Innate True Flame of the Foundation Establishment Stage, as if just a touch could lead to complete annihilation!

With Qin Ming's will, the Spirit-Devouring Poison Flame transformed into a blue firebird and entered the bottom of the Profound Jade Furnace, starting to evenly heat it.

He then began to perform his unique alchemy technique, starting to extract the medicine embryo.

Even the Tier Two Mid-stage Demon Pill was no exception, as under the extraction of the "Yin Yang Separation and Reunion Spirit Control Technique," the demonic power essence and demon soul within the Demon Pill were meticulously extracted.

The entire process from extracting the medicine embryo, configuring the medicine liquid, controlling the heat, to fusing the medicine liquid was done almost in one go without the slightest hesitation.

For Qin Ming, refining Foundation Establishment Pill was simply child's play, not particularly difficult.

Even using a Demon Pill as the main ingredient was just a change without much alteration in the refining technique, essentially the same.

Lvu Liang and his disciple were left utterly astounded by Qin Ming's entire operation, their minds blank.

Only the time of an incense stick passed.

Chirp!

An extremely clear chirping sound came from the Profound Jade Furnace, followed by a radiance of Five-Colored Radiance appearing over the pill furnace.

Accompanied by a deeply gratifying pill fragrance, Lvu Liang and his disciple snapped back to reality from their shock.

They didn't need to think to know, Fellow Daoist Qin had succeeded in refining.

Both Lvu Liang and Lvu Wanjun were thrilled, overwhelmed with joy!

Qin Ming smiled slightly, then with a single-hand gesture, several Spirit Pills fell into his hand.

As he spread his palm open, four deep purple Foundation Establishment Pills lay quietly in the center of his hand.

One of the Foundation Establishment Pills had pill patterns swirling around it, emanating a spirit halo, clearly a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill.

"I didn't expect this Demon Pill refined Foundation Establishment Pill to be deep purple, slightly different from the blue Foundation Establishment Pill refined with Jade Marrow Mushroom." Qin Ming sensed the abundant medicinal power within the Spirit Pill, confirming its successful refinement.

This was even with his intentional technique control; otherwise, he might have produced a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

Since it was for others, it's best to remain modest.

Then he took out an exquisite jade bottle and sealed the high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill and another Foundation Establishment Pill inside.

Qin Ming handed the jade bottle to Lvu Liang and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lvu, I am honored to fulfill the task."

"Ah... this?"

"This... thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin!"

"Wanjun thanks Elder Qin!"

Lvu Liang took the jade bottle, bowed to Qin Ming with cupped hands, and Lvu Wanjun also gratefully thanked Qin Ming.

"No need to be polite, both of you. I also benefited. It's a mutual exchange," Qin Ming waved his hand and said.

Lvu Liang and his companion clearly saw Qin Ming distributing that Top-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill to them without a second thought.

One must realize that once the Foundation Establishment Pill is successfully refined, its distribution is entirely up to Qin Ming's discretion.

'Fellow Daoist Qin truly has a magnanimous heart, worthy of being called a master!' Lvu Liang couldn't help but marvel as he held the jade bottle in his hand.

"All right, Fellow Daoist Lvu, now that things here are settled, I must return to Wangyue Island to prepare, so I'll take my leave," Qin Ming said to Lvu Liang and his companion.

Then, amidst the respectful send-off from the master and apprentice, Qin Ming left the courtyard.

...

Qin Ming originally planned to return to Wangyue Island immediately after purchasing the pill formula in the core area.

However, the matter of the beast tide completely disrupted his plans.

He decided to visit the Mirror Snow Pavilion once more.

Half an incense stick's time later.

Qin Ming left the core area of the Vast Sea Immortal City and arrived at the Mirror Snow Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, why have you returned?"

"Isn't everything going smoothly?"

Gu Qingzhao asked in confusion, then poured Spiritual Tea for Qin Ming.

"Ah! Fellow Daoist Gu, just as things had calmed down for a few days, it seems something big is about to happen again," Qin Ming took a sip of the Spiritual Tea and continued, "I just received news that a larger-scale beast tide might soon descend upon the Cultivation Realm."

Gu Qingzhao and Huangfu Qii exchanged a surprised glance upon hearing this news, and then said to Qin Ming, "Just now, my second uncle was urgently summoned by Master Vast Sea."

"Could it be... because of this matter?"

Huangfu Qii furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "If that's really the case, the situation might be more severe than we imagined."

Gu Qingzhao hesitated for a moment, then said to Qin Ming, "Perhaps, Fellow Daoist Qin, you shouldn't return to Wangyue Island for now."

"The Vast Sea Immortal City is guarded by a Tier Three Array and Golden Core Masters, even several Tier Three Demon Kings might not be able to breach it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming fell into deep thought.

What Gu Qingzhao said was not unreasonable. In the event of a beast disaster, nowhere in the Cultivation Realm would be safe.

Although the Vast Sea Immortal City is a target for the demon beasts, many demon beast clans would also roam across the Wei Country, causing bloody incidents and devastation.

With Golden Core Masters and a Tier Three Spirit Vein Array, along with a well-trained army of cultivators, this place would actually be the safest.

"What Fellow Daoist Gu said is very reasonable. Why not consider this, Fellow Daoist Qin?" Huangfu Qii also chimed in from the side.

However, Qin Ming shook his head and said, "My Mist Illusion Realm on Wangyue Island is an obstacle, even High-Tier Demon Beasts cannot enter, so it's relatively safe."

"Moreover, Wangyue Island is remote and sparsely populated; the beast hordes probably have little interest in it."

"And I have many spirit plants on the island on which I have spent much effort; I can't just leave them behind."

Gu Qingzhao lightly nodded in agreement.

"I've come here primarily to ask Fellow Daoist Gu if your pavilion has any Tier Three Arrays for sale?" Qin Ming then asked.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingzhao and Huangfu Qii were taken aback.

Huangfu Qii immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, a Tier Three Array works by harnessing the power of the mountains and rivers, and the Tier Three Spirit Vein creates a unique domain."

"If you only have the array without the support of a Spirit Vein, the effect is greatly diminished."

"No matter, I just want an extra layer of insurance, however much it can be leveraged," Qin Ming replied aloud.

In truth, he thought to himself that Wangyue Island would soon have a Tier Three Spirit Vein...

Gu Qingzhao then said, "Such high-tier arrays that can protect a major force are only available at the capital headquarters of Wei Country; by the time an array arrives, the beast tide would have already erupted."

"As far as I know, no company in the Vast Sea Immortal City offers Tier Three Arrays for sale."

Qin Ming furrowed his brow upon hearing this and sighed to himself.

However, what Gu Qingzhao said next rekindled his hope.

"But, I've heard in the past that the Fangcun Mountain Market sells Tier Three Arrays."

Qin Ming was puzzled and asked, "Fangcun Mountain Market?"

"Yes, Fangcun Mountain Market is located in the Lingnan Dao of Wei Country and isn't far from the Vast Sea Immortal City. At Fellow Daoist Qin's speed, you should be able to reach it within two days," Gu Qingzhao explained.

"Fangcun Mountain Market is the largest market near the four countries of Vast Sea Immortal City, backed by the Thunder Origin Sect."

Qin Ming revealed a look of realization; only such an overlord-level influence could possibly master Tier Three Array crafting methods and have an Array Grandmaster.

The Thunder Origin Sect has controlled the Cultivation Realm of Wei Country for hundreds of years. It also occupies a Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Vein, which not only has abundant Spiritual Qi, but is several times larger than the Vast Sea Peak.

Fangcun Mountain Market is the largest market in Wei Country, so it's not surprising they have such high-tier arrays for sale.

On this day.

A burly man with an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation landed before Fangcun Mountain Market.

This man was Qin Ming, who had taken the Hundred Illusion Pill. After half a day's journey, he rode a Silver-winged Frost Bee to the market.

Compared to the two days mentioned by Gu Qingzhao, he traveled much faster.
