I Can Extract Everything

"That's right, congratulations, Brother Gao, on your advancement to Eight Stage of Qi Condensation Realm!"

Qin Yi was genuinely happy for Gao Peng's cultivation progress.

This guy was only in seclusion for a month, yet he managed to increase his cultivation base by two stages in one.

A month ago, Gao Peng's cultivation base was only at the Sixth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm, and now it is at the Eight Stage of Qi Condensation Realm. With this, he could be considered a senior in the outer sect.

"Haha, thanks to you Brother Qin, I managed to break through from the Sixth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm to the Eight Stage of Qi Condensation Realm in one fell swoop."

Gao Peng laughed as he remembered the person who helped him get the Milky Way Fruit was Qin Yi.

At that time, he was to break through to the Seventh Stage of Qi Condensation Realm, and the Milky Way Fruit gave him the opportunity to break through two stages within a month of his closed-door cultivation.

He also managed to consolidate his cultivation base and decided to finish his closed-door cultivation in the past three days.

Qin Yi hurriedly shook his hands, "What are you saying, Brother Gao, you reached this point all thanks to your luck and effort. I just happened to be there to assist you in obtaining that treasure."

Qiao Jin, who was watching from the sideline, couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you two talking about?"

Listening to this question, Gao Peng and Qin Yi didn't mind telling what happened to them a month ago at the Seeking Miracle Pavilion; of course, they didn't reveal their deal with Shopkeeper Qian.

After hearing this, Qiao Jin couldn't help but feel shocked.

The Milky Way Fruit is extremely rare, and the people who owned it preferred to use it on themselves rather than sell it to others. Therefore, such treasures usually never appear on the market.

To think that Gao Peng could get it by only spending 10 low-grade spirit stones to buy a Miracle Stone.

As for Qin Yi, Qiao Jin wasn't sure whether he is lucky or unlucky. After all, even though he was the one who chose the Miracle Stone, Gao Peng was the one who got what was inside that Miracle Stone.

Fortunately, Qin Yi seems like a broad-minded person.

He's indeed worth befriending with.

"It seems that Brother Qin is a lucky person. I think I should take Brother Qin with me if I go to the Seeking Miracle Pavilion in the future." Qiao Jin said in awe.

"Do you intend to exploit my luck?" Qin Yi twitched the corners of his mouth as he said humorously.

"Haha, why not? We, brothers, are meant to share everything, including luck, wealth, and girlfriends~."

"Okay, let's cut our brotherhood!"

"Ha ha ha..."

The three of them started chatting and laughing in front of Qin Yi's cave as if it had been a long time since they had spoken like this.

Half an hour later, Qin Yi came out of his cave and handed Qiao Jin several bottles of Qi Strengthening Pills.

Seeing this, Gao Peng was surprised: "Brother Qin, are you an Alchemist?"

He had only been absent for a month, yet his good brother suddenly transformed from an ordinary disciple into an Alchemist. 

Was he currently with the wrong brother?

——But he was pretty sure that he didn't have an Alchemist among his brothers.

Qin Yi replied embarrassedly, "I'm not. I still haven't taken the exam in the Secondary Profession Association, and I'm not even sure if I can pass the exam. Right now, I'm still in training. These pills are the result of my training, and I decided to sell them because I needed the money to buy ingredients for practicing pill-concocting."

"You haven't officially become an Alchemist, yet you managed to make that many pills? Damn, you're even better than all the Alchemists I've known so far. You're a genius, Brother Qin!"

"Ai~ya~, Brother Gao, you really like to speak the truth!" Qin Yi coughed lightly.

Gao Peng twitched his mouth.

Brother, you are not modest at all!

"Not only that, Brother Gao." Qiao Jin suddenly interrupted them as he said proudly, "Brother Qin's pills have a higher purity level than the pills we normally consume. Even all the Apprentice Alchemists on Wondrous Pills Peak can't do that. After all, The pills we've been consuming so far were made by them."

"Seriously?" Gao Peng wears an unbelievable look on his face, and then he said gratifiedly: "What a luck to meet a genius Alchemist like you, Brother Qin! No, I think I just spent my hundred years of luck getting a brother like you, Brother Qin!"

"That's too little, Brother Gao. As for me, I think I've spent a thousand years of luck to form a partnership with a genius Alchemist like Brother Qin."

"Hahaha, not bad, Brother Qiao, you got another whole level regarding this!"

"You two..." Qin Yi was speechless as he said mercilessly, "I won't give you a discount even if you praise me like this."

"Oh, looks like he saw through our intentions..."

"What a pity. It seems like our Alchemist is not easy to fool with flattery."

"..."

***

Time passed quickly and it is soon the end of the month.

Qin Yi, who had done his role as Grandpa Tree very well, finally got the news that three children would be chosen to be delivered to the temple. Those three children were Mu Chen, Mu Tao, and Mu Ling.

Mu Chen is none other than the eldest among the children who played with the 'Grandpa Tree' every day, and he is also the one who told Qin Yi that the three of them would worship the 'Grandpa Tree' in the temple later.

Mu Tao is the tsundere girl with martial aptitude; she is a year younger than Mu Chen. Meanwhile, Mu Ling is a boy who was the same age as Mu Tao.

Of the three chosen children, Qin Yi truly couldn't figure out why they were chosen?

Are there actually certain requirements for them to be selected for the ritual? Or is it just randomly selected?

Unfortunately, Qin Yi couldn't get the answer as it would look foolish if he asked that to Mu Chen, and the adults were very tight-lipped even when they faced an Immortal like Wu Kun.

Whether it was Qin Yi or Wu Kun, neither of them understood why they would not open their mouths about this ritual.

Was there something forcing them not to open their mouths about the ritual?

Qin Yi once tried to go to another village, but the result was the same.

Apparently, every village is obliged to send at least three children to perform rituals at the temple. They are ridiculously cohesive to not reveal anything about the rituals to the outsiders.

Qin Yi witnessed that Wu Kun was very annoyed with their response and attitude. To be honest, it wasn't just him who was annoyed; Qin Yi himself was annoyed by his fruitless investigation.

Two days before the ritual took place, Qin Yi decided to approach Mu Mu's father and secretly interrogate him.

Mu Fengshan is the most suspicious person in the village, and it's just right to question him. Hopefully, he is willing to cooperate with Qin Yi. If he had any inexplicable difficulty, Qin Yi was willing to help him any way he could.

However, in order to do that, Qin Yi decided to make a move at night. After all, the Hidden Night Cloak's ability at night was safer than that ability during the day.

Although he doubted that Mu Fengshan could put him into a dangerous situation considering he's only at the Second Stage of Qin Condensation Realm while Qin Yi is four stages above him.

However, it was better to be more cautious.

When the night was about to fall, Qin Yi met Xue Chan at the Hundred Flowers Garden.

He wants to ask her to replace him to attend the garden for three days from now on.

Unexpectedly, Xue Chan easily agreed to this request without needing to listen to any excuses from him. But in exchange, she wished that he owed her a favor.

Qin Yi could roughly understand Xue Chan's intentions.

She probably already realized that Qin Yi had enormous prospects as an Alchemist.

Not only was he highly likely to pass the Apprentice Alchemist exam in the next month, but he might also be able to go beyond the Apprentice Alchemist or even further.

Therefore, having an owe from Qin Yi might be a big-ticket for her in the future.

Of course, Qin Yi didn't mind this deal. After all, owing one favor to Xue Chan was nothing to him as long as she didn't ask for something beyond his capability.

With this, he could be relieved to leave his mission in the sect and get to his mission in the nameless mountain.
