Chapter Fifteen: Washing Marrow Dan

  Tianji was still refining the elixir.

  In the study beside the main hall of Yunlai Jianzong, Qin Yuyan slightly furrowed her brow.

  "Yes, Qin Shijie."

  When it comes to alchemy, Jiang Caiyun's face turned sour: "Qin Shijie, I think we should stop the young master. I calculated that in this month alone, our medicine storage has been emptied by 70%. Although Qi Changlao used up a lot of medicinal materials, most of them were wasted by the young master. If this continues, Yunlei Sword Sect will have to go and collect more herbs soon. Otherwise, if the disciples get injured, they won't be able to receive treatment..."

  "70%..."

  The consumption was so great that Qin Yuyan's heart was also shaken.

  In the past three years, Yunlai Jianzong's pharmacy has been living off its old savings. The richness of the pharmacy is not comparable to that of a second-rate sect, but the vast collection is still enough to make any third-rate sect jealous. If 70% of the medicinal materials were consumed and converted into silver, it would be worth at least 400,000 taels.

  400,000 taels!

  This time Qin Yuyan brought his disciples to the seven towns under his jurisdiction, and they only collected less than 30,000 taels. From this, it can be seen that Qin Tianyi's expenses were enormous.

  After a moment of contemplation, Qin Yuyan finally said: "Later, I will go find Tianji to discuss it. If there's really no hope, then we can temporarily give up on the path of alchemy. The Washing Marrow Dan is too difficult to refine, even the Wan Ding Gate of our Wanxia County, which is famous for its alchemy, cannot refine it. Our Yunlai Sword Sect isn't very skilled in alchemy either, and he has only been in contact with alchemy for over a dozen days... If you're really interested in alchemy, I can let him start from ordinary dan medicine."

  "That's good."

  Jiang Cai let out a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

  She is now in charge of the financial power of Yunlai Jianzong, but looking at the income that was already very low, Yunlai Jianzong has such a huge expenditure every day, she naturally feels anxious and can't help but find Qin Yuyan, hoping that she can persuade the young master to temporarily stop this wasteful behavior.

  "Huh?"

  Just as Jiang Caiyun was about to report the recent financial income and expenses of Yunlai Sword Sect to Qin Yuyan, Gu Cheng, Tang Liang, Yi Shishi, and Xiao Sumin, several disciples with fourth-level swordsmanship cultivation, walked in at the same time.

  "You..."

  Qin Yuyan was just about to ask something when, outside the door, Qi Lingyun and Xue Ziyi arrived one after another once again.

  For a time, the entire Yunlai Sword Sect's core class could be said to have gathered together.

  "Master Qi, how did you come?"

  Seeing Ziling Yun, Qin Yuyan hastily got up and went out to greet him.

  "It was Tianji who brought me here, saying there's something important to announce."

  Zi Lingyun said, glancing at several other disciples.

  Those few disciples also nodded: "I received a message from Snow Bamboo Junior Sister, saying that the Young Master asked us to come to the main hall study."

  "Tiān Jī?"

  Qin Yuyan was somewhat bewildered and didn't know why Qin Tianyi had all the top experts in the sect gather here.

  "Since Young Master asked us to come over, there must be something going on. Let's wait for a while then."

  "Yes."

  "Obeying the orders of Elder Zhen."

  "Then let's wait."

  Several disciples responded in unison.

  Qin Tianji didn't keep these people waiting for long, in less than five minutes, he had already taken a jade box and turned it inside from outside.

  Seeing everyone present had already arrived, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned: "Everyone is so quick, I've kept you all waiting for too long."

  "Tianji, you've gathered everyone here, is there something going on?"

  Qin Tianyi had finally managed to cure Qi Lingyun with great difficulty, and in Yunlai Sword Sect, he had gained a bit of prestige. She didn't want him to mess up again and bury this bit of prestige.

  Compared to Qin Yuyan's concern, Qi Lingyun's gaze was already on the jade box in Qin Tianyi's hand the moment he entered. Thinking of the rumors he had heard over the past few days that Qin Tianyi was refining the Washing Marrow Dan, he suddenly thought of something: "Tianyi, the jade box in your hand... Could it be that you..."

  Qin Tianyi glanced at Qi Lingyun, nodded slightly, and slowly opened the jade box. Inside, seven pills emitting a strong fragrance appeared before everyone's eyes.

  "Not bad, I've refined it successfully, a 7th-grade elixir, Marrow Cleansing Pill."

  "Shuāng Dān?"

  "Qī Pǐn Dān Yào Xǐ Máo Dān?"

  Translation: "Seven Treasure Hair Washing Dan Medicine?"

  "Is it the Washing Marrow Pill, which is said to be as difficult to refine as a Ninth-Rank Spirit Medicine? I heard that Young Master Shao has been experimenting with pill refinement lately. Could it be that what he's refining isn't just Stop Bleeding Powder or Golden Wound Medicine and other First-Rank Spirit Medicines, but rather the Washing Marrow Pill?"

  "Shuāng Mó Dān!"

  While deeply understanding what the Washing Marrow Dan meant, Qi Lingyun took a big step forward and came directly to Qin Tianyi's side. He hastily took out a dan medicine from the jade box, looked at it again and again, smelled it again and again, and tasted the authenticity of this dan medicine.

  "Shuāng Dān? Is this real?"

  Qin Yuyan looked at Qin Tianyi with an incredulous expression.

  Jiang Caiyun stared at Qi Lingyun with a crazed look on his face, unable to speak for the time being.

  Qin Tianyi, this young master of a minor sect with only intermediate swordsmanship cultivation...

  How can you possibly refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill when even Wan Ding Men couldn't?

  Facing the crowd's gaze filled with surprise, complexity and incredulity, Qin Tianyi slightly shrugged his shoulders: "Whether it is the Washing Marrow Pill or not, very soon, Elder Qi should be able to identify it."

  As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes fell on Qi Lingyun.

  While Zilingyun held this dan medicine and examined it for a good long while, trying every method, the only thing he hadn't done was taste it personally.

  At last, he slowly put down the Dan medicine, as if holding a precious treasure, and carefully placed it in the jade box.

  "Qī Lǎo... "

  "Qī Lǎo Lǎng, this dan medicine, could it really..."

  "Xī máo dān? Qī pǐn dàn yào, xī máo dān?"

  Translation: "Washing Marrow Dan? Seven Treasure Dan Medicine, Washing Marrow Dan?"

  At the moment when Zilingyun put down the dan medicine, everyone was eager to try it.

  They all understood in their hearts what the Washing Marrow Pill meant for a sect.

  "Not bad."

  Facing the gaze of everyone, Qi Lingyun, even if he wanted to control his emotions and tone, still seemed somewhat excited and trembling: "This Dan medicine is a seventh-grade Dan medicine, a Marrow Washing Dan!"

  "With seven pellets of Marrow Cleansing Pill, one for each of you, with the help of the medicinal power of the Marrow Cleansing Pill to improve your physique, I believe that your cultivation from Sword Master Fourth Level to Sword Master Sixth Level will be much easier."

  Qin Tianyi smiled and said.

  Looking at the excited and thrilled expressions of these Yunlai Sword Sect disciples, although they had consumed a lot of energy in the past ten or so days to refine the Xǐ Mó Dān, after all...

  It was worth it.

  "One bullet per person!"

  "The price of Xī Mó Dān is now being auctioned off for 50,000 taels of white silver, one pill per person, isn't that saying..."

  "My goodness! Young Master, are you serious?"

  Qin Tianyi nodded slightly.

  "Of course."

  Heavenly Pivot

  Qin Yuyan took a step forward, her heart full of joy, and asked: "These elixirs, did you refine them yourself?"

  Qin Tianyi smiled slightly at Qin Yuyan: "Obviously, I have a lot of talent in alchemy."

  "It's not just that you're very talented, it's simply... unmatched! Even in our Wanxia County's Wanjing Gate, a sect with two generations of alchemy heritage, we don't have the ability to refine the Washing Marrow Pill. Even if we occasionally manage to refine some, it's just a coincidence, and the consumption far exceeds the gain. Tianji, you can consume less than 400,000 taels of materials to refine seven Washing Marrow Pills... If this news gets out, even those top-tier sects with Sword Master-level powerhouses will probably be unable to resist, and will take you in as one of their own."

  Zi Lingyun's mouth was full of exclamations as he spoke.

  The tone is understated, not at all exaggerated.

  "A first-rate sect? Our Yunlai Sword Sect was also a first-rate sect back then, wasn't it?"

  Qin Tianyi said, his eyes scanning the several mid-level swordsmen disciples present, "Our Yunlei Sword Sect has encountered great difficulties and is now in its weakest period, but as they say, 'no destruction, no rebirth', I believe that Yunlei Sword Sect will surely rise from the ashes and make those who have given up on us and looked down on us take a second look."

  "Right!"

  "Luokei that guy, wasted the kindness of Qi Lao in his youth, even took silver to support his parents and family, now our Yunlei Sword Sect is in trouble, he actually abandoned us Yunlei Sword Sect, simply ungrateful and disloyal."

  "Yin Zhifang, that scoundrel, is also one of them. I'm ashamed to be associated with him, and he's actually joined the Xuanling Sect, our sworn enemy in the Yunlai Sword Sect? He'll regret his decision from back then."

  "There are also Zhou Wu Liang, Wang Fang Jing and others. In the past, our Sect Master and Elders treated them with kindness, but now that our Yun Lei Sword Sect is in a crisis, not only did they not stand behind us to help us get through this difficult time, but instead, they stabbed us in the back and left, taking all the silver from the treasury with them. If I have the power in the future, I will definitely find them and settle the score."

  Several disciples were one by one excited, they were all young people, the oldest Tang Liang was only twenty-four years old, and was in the prime of youth, soon had been mobilized by Qin Tianyi's words.

  "Fellow disciples, each of you take one of these dan medicines and use it after returning. I hope that all of you can quickly advance to sixth-grade swordsmen and become high-level swordsmen for Yunlai Sword Sect."

  Qin Tianji said, and handed out these medicinal pills.

  "Good."

  "Don't worry, Sect Master, with this Marrow Cleansing Pill, I'm confident that I can advance to a 5th-level Swordsmen within a month."

  "I will definitely live up to expectations."

  Several people responded cautiously and took over the washing marrow dan.

  "Gentlemen, the fact that Tianji can refine the Washing Marrow Pill is still a secret for now. Our Yunlai Sword Sect's vitality has not fully recovered yet. If others were to find out about Tianji's ability, I'm afraid our sect would be unable to rest easy."

  Zi Lingyun replied solemnly.

  "Elder Qi, rest assured, we know what's at stake."

  "The refining of Xī Mó Dān is not easy, and we naturally won't go around talking nonsense, bringing unnecessary trouble to the Young Master."

  "That's right."

  Elder Qi nodded and let several disciples retreat, instructing them to cultivate well.

  Before long, there were only four people left in the room: Qin Tianyi, Qin Yuyan, Jiang Caiyun and Qi Lingyun.

  "Tianji, I didn't think you'd actually succeed in refining the Washing Marrow Pill. From now on, if there's anything you need, just speak up."

  With these seven Soul Cleansing Pills, the middle layer of Yunlai Sword Sect will grow rapidly. In just five months' time, there is even hope for two or three sixth-grade swordsmen to be born, and Yunlai Sword Sect can finally temporarily get rid of the situation where no one can be used.

  Qin Tianyi nodded: "Our Yunlai Sword Sect has 44 disciples. In addition to the seven Ximeng Dan I just distributed, we need to refine 37 more. Moreover, although the effect of taking Ximeng Dan for the second time is not as good as the first time, it can still increase physical potential. If possible, I want to buy another 100 sets of Ximeng Dan refining materials."

  "One hundred shares!"

  This amount suddenly scared Jiang Caiyun.

  The price of the materials for the Xī Mó Dān is not high due to the difficulty in refining it, but one portion still requires 3,000 taels, and 100 portions would be a total of 300,000 taels of silver. This amount has already exceeded the limit that Yunlai Sword Sect can afford.

  "...Now the sect's treasury has less than 200,000 silver taels..."

  "Less than 200,000... What if I sell these things in my hand?"

  As they spoke, Qin Tianyi's hand had already taken out another jade box, and inside it was actually three more Xǐ Mó Dān!

  "This..."

  Seeing Qin Tianyi take out three more Brain Washing Pills, not to mention Jiang Caiyun and Qin Yuyan, even Qi Lingyun's eyes widened in shock.

  "Xī máo dān!? Tiān jī, nǐ jiū jìng liàn zhì le duō shǎo xǐ máo dān?"

  Translation: "Mind Cleansing Pill!? Tianji, how many Mind Cleansing Pills have you actually refined?"

  "Ten pieces, no more."

  "Ten pieces!"

  Fifteen days of time to refine ten pellets of marrow washing dan, even Qī Língyún this old high-level swordsman, still can't help but inhale a mouthful of cold air.

  "Tianji, could it be that you've truly grasped the method of refining the Xǐ Móu Dān? What's the success rate?"

  "Success rate... probably around 30-40%."

  Qin Tianyi said.

  This number is already quite conservative, as No. 2 continues to collect data, the success rate will only get higher and higher, let him refine it for another month, he has confidence that he can guarantee the refining probability of Xī Mù Dān at more than 90%.

  Just then, even if he had just come into contact with alchemy, he understood that the probability of nine out of ten was how astonishing, so naturally he wanted to be humble.

  "...a success rate of about 30-40%..."

  Jiang Caiyun quickly calculated in her mind, using three portions of materials to refine a Xianyu Dan. One portion of material would cost around 3,000 taels of silver, and three portions would be less than 10,000 taels of silver. However, the market price for one Xianyu Dan was 50,000 taels of silver...

  "We're rich!"

  As a result of the calculation, Jiang Caiyun's mind was filled with golden light.

  Qin Yuyan and Qi Lingyun exchanged a glance, and in this moment, the two of them seemed to see at the same time on Qin Tianyi's body, the hope for the rapid rise of Yunlai Sword Sect.

  "Oh, right, also help me buy ten sets of Condensed Qi Pellet materials, we have some in the warehouse but it should not be enough."

  As he said this, Qin Tianyi's gaze turned to Qi Lingyun: "If in the next five months, I can continuously provide Qi elder with Condensing Pill, I wonder if Qi elder can advance to the ninth level peak?"

  "With the help of the Qi Condensing Pill, my cultivation speed will increase greatly. Although five months is not a long time, I have 90% confidence that I can reach the peak of a 9th-level Sword Master."

  Zi Lingyun said cautiously.

  Finally, he turned to Qin Tianyi: "Your plan is..."

  "Alchemical refining."

  Qin Tianji said: "I have read some records in books, those strongest first-class sects, every disciple, at the intermediate swordsman stage, can take marrow-washing pills, bone-refining pills, and vein-refining pills. Especially the bone-refining pills and vein-refining pills are long-term supplied. Relying on these pills and reasonable cultivation methods, those sects only need two to three years to cultivate a fourth-level cultivator into a sixth-level swordsman, completing the internal energy condensation stage of cultivation. Once those disciples break through to the advanced swordsman stage, every month, they can receive a condensing gas pill to refine their true energy. This makes excellent disciples and masters constantly emerge in the sect, ensuring the sect's prosperity. In the past, our Yunlei Sword Sect didn't have a pill-refining master, so we couldn't support this way of cultivating disciples. But now..."

  As he said this, his eyes shone with a dazzling divine light: "Now, why don't we refer to those top-notch first-rate sects and use the same method to cultivate our disciples? I believe that if we can persist in doing so, after passing through the first crisis five months from now and developing for three years, our Yunlei Sword Sect will completely be able to develop into a top-notch second-rate sect. Once a sword master is born, it's even possible for us to enter the ranks of a first-rate sect."

  "Every mid-tier swordsman's disciple is provided with Washing Marrow Pill, Refining Bone Pill, Refining Pulse Pill... High-tier swordsmen are even provided with Condensing Qi Pill..."

  "A top-notch second-rate sect... like the Xuanling Sect?"

  "Is this the plan you have in mind, Young Master?"

  Listening to Qin Tianyi's depiction of this beautiful blueprint, Qin Yuyan, Qi Lingyun and Jiang Caiyun were all shocked.

  They never thought that Qin Tianyi had already drawn such a grand blueprint in his heart.

  Bring Yunlai Jianzong into the ranks of a first-rate sect?

  "There is nothing difficult in this world, only people who are afraid."

  Qin Tianyi said, his eyes scanning Qin Yuyan, Jiang Caiyun, and Qi Lingyun, his eyes filled with a chill: "A month ago, the kind of thing that happened when Xuanlingpai came to our door, I don't want to see it happen again. How about you?"

  "A month ago!"

  "Soul Reaper!"

  In an instant, a few words changed the atmosphere of Qin Yuyan, Qi Lingyun and Jiang Caiyun.

  "I said it two years ago! I will personally go to the Xuanling Sect, take back our Yunlei Sword Sect's Yunxiao Sword from Su Yuheng's hands! What I say, I must do!"

  Qin Yuyan's face was stern and her voice was loud and clear.

  "Zhōu zhòng..."

  Qilingyun's eyes also narrowed slightly, and a fierce aura burst out in this small movement.
