Inside the cave mansion, Qin Ming looked somewhat dazed at the scene before him.

He never expected that the formation of the Dust-annihilating Pill would create such intense phenomena.

It was even several times more exaggerated than the scene when he previously refined the Tier Three Zhurong Pill.

Originally, he thought it would be fine to refine it successfully in secret, as he didn't want to draw too much attention, preferring to keep a low profile above all else.

"Sigh! It seems like this incident will probably cause a stir in the whole city again."

"But it doesn't matter anymore; after all, what's even more astonishing is yet to come..."

"It's just a matter of time."

"I'll just let things take their course."

With a sigh, Qin Ming reined in his thoughts, then gestured toward the Profound Jade Furnace, from which three Dust-annihilating Pills radiating golden brilliance fell into his hands.

It was only then he discovered that one of the Dust-annihilating Pills displayed nine Dao Patterns, reaching a high-grade level.

"No wonder there was such a big commotion..."

This was something Qin Ming couldn't control.

However, the experience from last time refining the Zhurong Pill and this time the Dust-annihilating Pill, provided Qin Ming with a lot of experience in refining Tier Three Spirit Pills.

It helped him accumulate a tactile sense for the upcoming refinement of the Golden Core Formation Pill.

After all, as a top strategic-level cultivation resource, the difficulty in refining the Golden Core Formation Pill is undoubtedly higher than that of the Dust-annihilating Pill.

Qin Ming, having achieved great success in alchemy, was in a rather good mood.

He took out two exquisite Ointment Jade Bottles and separated the high-grade Dust-annihilating Pill from the regular quality ones for preservation.

Any one of these pills within could cause a Golden Core Ancestor to fight fervently over.

Besides that.

Over the past two and a half years, aside from refining pills, Qin Ming hadn't neglected his cultivation either.

The solidification progress of the Mana Sea within his Qi Sea Dantian was already completed by fifty percent.

Qin Ming stored away the Tier Three Spirit-Devouring Poison Flame and the Profound Jade Furnace, then walked towards the Fire-Bathing Golden Lotus at the Heart of Molten Fire.

Six crimson-golden lotus pods rich with Fire Spirit Qi silently bloomed within the magma.

The Spirit Plant thrived vigorously amidst the fierce flames, showcasing the mystical creation of the Great Dao.

[Name]: Fire-Bathing Golden Lotus [Entry]: Abundant Lifespan X5 (100% maturity, ready for harvest)

Qin Ming promptly extended his Divine Thought, retrieving both the Middle Yellow Spirit Soil and the six Fire-Bathing Golden Lotuses.

In an instant.

A blue Entry Leaf quietly appeared within his Sea of Consciousness.

Without hesitation, Qin Ming activated and used these five [Abundant Lifespan] entries.

Mysteriously, a power of time descended upon his body.

His lifespan abruptly increased to one thousand four hundred and sixty years...

Having accomplished these tasks, Qin Ming's purpose here was complete, and it was about time to leave.

'Oh, right, the rental period for the cave mansion has exceeded by half a year.'

'I still have to pay additional Spirit Stones.'

'Hmm... Lvu Wanjun, this lady has been considerate, not letting anyone disturb me.'

'Even though I don't really want to go outside right now, staying here could at least let me avoid the limelight for a while, but the Gloomy True Yin Flower near the Heaven-Devouring Rat should also be ready for harvest by now based on time.'

'I have no choice but to go out!'

With great reluctance, Qin Ming used a Dust-removal Talisman to clean himself, then removed the restriction and stepped out of the cave mansion.

As soon as he stepped out.

He saw a large crowd gathered outside, all staring at him as if looking at a rare creature.

Admiration, astonishment, envy, sourness, and various complex emotions were mixed within those gazes.

To his surprise, standing ahead of the crowd was a middle-aged female cultivator, Master Nalan Xi of Vast Sea Immortal City.

Meeting her gaze, Qin Ming stepped forward and greeted:

"Greetings, Master Nalan."

"Hehe! Congratulations are in order!"

"Fellow Daoist Qin, there's no need for formalities. Now that you've successfully ascended to a Tier Three Alchemy Grandmaster, your status in the Cultivation Realm is akin to mine. There's no need for formalities in future interactions." Nalan Xi's usually imposing face displayed a faint smile as she congratulated Qin Ming.

Nalan Xi's remarks held merit, for a Tier Three Alchemy Grandmaster was not just prominent in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.

Even in Nascent Soul Sects within Upper Sects, they were highly sought-after and respected guests, putting them on equal standing with the Golden Core Elders within those sects.

The value of a Tier Three Alchemy Grandmaster was immeasurable.

They could enhance a sect's prestige by producing many High-Tier Cultivators and were indeed a testament to a faction's profound foundation.

After all, possessing a Tier Three Pill Formula and Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Materials is worthless if no one can successfully refine them.

For example, Profound Creek Valley in Liang Country emphasizes nurturing alchemy talents for similar reasons.

The presence of Gongsun Yang, a Tier Three Alchemy Grandmaster capable of refining the Golden Core Formation Pill and Tier Three Spirit Pills that enhance Golden Core Stage cultivation, has not only birthed new Golden Core Cultivators but also enabled Elder Qingxuan to break through to the Late-stage Golden Core.

Establishing itself as a uniquely top-tier sect among the four countries.

Therefore, the significance of a Tier Three Grandmaster is undeniably exceptional.

"Greetings, Grandmaster Qin!"

"Greetings, Grandmaster Qin!"

"What a fortune it is today to witness Grandmaster Qin's ascension to the ranks of grandmasters right here in the first Independent Cultivator Sacred Land, Vast Sea Immortal City!"

"It's been hundreds of years in Wei Country, and finally, such a remarkably talented individual has reached this pinnacle."

"Grandmaster Qin, being of loose cultivator origin, is truly a great fortune for Wei Country's Cultivation Realm!"

The crowd continually offered congratulations and praises to Qin Ming.

Within the crowd were also the likes of Master Sunx Jinnian, the Great Alchemist, and Great Cultivators at Foundation Establishment Perfection.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qin on achieving great craftsmanship and ascending to a grandmaster's status!" Lvu Wanjun also congratulated with glowing eyes of admiration.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, would you be willing to come and talk atop the main peak?" Master Nalan extended an invitation warmly, making Qin Ming feel as comfortable as enjoying the spring breeze.

The atmosphere was completely different compared to his first meeting with Nalan Xi.

Qin Ming knew he couldn't easily refuse such a cordial invitation, so he lightly nodded in agreement: "Fellow Daoist Nalan's invitation is naturally welcomed."

Following that.

Qin Ming cupped his hands in farewell to the crowd, as he wasn't fond of such occasions, while Nalan Xi subtly helped him out of the situation.

At this moment.

"Grandmaster Qin, please wait."

Master Sunx Jinnian stepped forward politely asking Master Nalan Xi: "Forgive my intrusion, Master!"

"May I humbly ask Grandmaster Qin, what type of Tier Three Spirit Pill was refined this time?"

"Allow those of us who remain eternally stumped at Tier Two alchemy to glimpse a Tier Three Spirit Pill, thus fulfilling our inner longing."

Alchemist Sunx Jinnian's words struck a chord with most of the alchemists present.

After all, is there any alchemist who has dedicated their life to the exploration of alchemy who wouldn't want to witness a legendary Tier Three Spirit Pill firsthand? The opportunity, once gone, won't come again.

Nalan Xi, hearing this, looked towards Qin Ming to gather his opinion: "Fellow Daoist Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Ming, calm and collected, replied placidly to Master Sunx and the others: "The pill I successfully refined this time is the Dust-annihilating Pill."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Wow!

Everyone was astounded, even Master Nalan Xi felt waves of surprise within.

Among Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit Pills, it's one of the rarest, known not only for enhancing cultivation but also for cleansing innate impurities.

Even in Moyuan Immortal City, its circulation is exceedingly rare.

Its enhancement for Golden Core cultivators far exceeds that of standard Tier Three Spirit Pills.

Qin Ming then took out a jade bottle from his storage pouch, poured out a Dust-annihilating Pill, and placed it in his palm.

The golden Tier Three Spirit Pill, enveloped by a spirit halo, immediately drew everyone's gaze upon its appearance.

"A full seven Dao Patterns, this truly is a legendary Tier Three Spirit Pill!"

These alchemists displayed infatuated, envious, and jealous expressions, utterly captivated by the Dust-annihilating Pill.

A few moments later.

Qin Ming put away the Spirit Pill and left with Master Nalan Xi.

Meanwhile, Nalan Xi's thoughts were also in upheaval.

She never imagined that Qin Ming had refined a Dust-annihilating Pill!

Nalan Xi, having been stuck at the Early-stage Golden Core for over a hundred years, considered that with the assistance of a Dust-annihilating Pill, it might be possible to break through to the Mid-stage Golden Core.

She was already determined, regardless of the price, to acquire a Dust-annihilating Pill from Qin Ming.
