Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Alchemy

Playing games requires not only strength but also cunning.

Be generous to your own people and cunning to the villains. Qin Ze, who had been navigating the internet for years, could easily employ tactics like framing and implicating others without any difficulty.

After Qin Ze's maneuver, Qin Xiao would probably never have a chance to rise again. This is how you deal with villains...

Qin Ze had been poor and unpopular for a long time, causing many people to dislike him. Now, everything was different; he was well-liked everywhere. Even some influential elders would nod and smile at him.

Qin Ze was not foolish; he knew the reason for these gestures of goodwill.

When he returned to the backyard of the Furong Tavern, it was already morning.

Hei Yan and Meng Lei were not at the tavern. After asking Zhang Dafu, he learned that they had gone to practice by the Qingshui River.

Qin Ze was delighted. He thought, "Fatty's opportunity has arrived."

The Refining Qi Realm was undoubtedly a powerful existence. Meng Lei would surely make breakthroughs under Hei Yan's guidance. Qin Ze believed that Meng Lei, with his innate strength, would soon take flight.

He just lacked an opportunity. Now, with this opportunity, he would undoubtedly undergo a qualitative transformation.

Qin Ze sat in the courtyard, and Zhang Dafu brought him some snacks before daring not to disturb him further.

Qin Ze took out three cultivation techniques: one for Meng Lei, one for Yun Man, and an auxiliary technique, Alchemy.

Most of the slightly better cultivation techniques in the library were incomplete, and none of the others caught his eye. He decided to pick one for Meng Lei and one for Yun Man, both tailored to their needs.

Meng Lei's was 'Luo Han Wang Quan' (Arhat King's Fist), an upper-grade cultivation technique. For someone with divine strength like Meng Lei, who was like a Vajra Arhat, this cultivation technique was perfect.

Yun Man's was 'Feng Wu Jiu Tian' (Dancing Phoenix in the Nine Heavens), also an upper-grade cultivation technique. Seeing the name of the cultivation technique, Qin Ze immediately thought of Yun Man, who excelled at ribbon attacks, already resembling a fallen celestial. If she practiced this cultivation technique, she would surely captivate many people.

Qin Ze picked up the Alchemy book and opened the first page. Suddenly, the system prompted in his mind, "Congratulations, player 'Qin Ze,' for obtaining the auxiliary cultivation technique Alchemy. Would you like to practice it?"

Delighted, he immediately chose to practice it.

A new skill appeared in his skill bar: Life Auxiliary Skill: Alchemy.

Alchemy

Level: 0 (Level 0 produces rough dan pills, Level 1 produces lower-grade dan pills, Level 2 produces mid-grade dan pills...)

Since he was idle, he might as well go out and explore.

The west of Qinghe City was the most complex place in Qinghe City, with various forces intertwined.

Many adventure teams gathered here, coming from all directions, excitedly entering the Kunlun Mountains. Some people were lucky and rose to great heights, while others never returned.

Of course, if you just wanted to make a small fortune and didn't go deep into the Kunlun Mountains, staying safe was not a problem.

Many adventure teams dug up herbal medicines or hunted beasts in the outskirts of the Kunlun Mountains, collecting their fur and bones to sell at the Qinghe City black market.

Although fourth-grade beasts had not condensed crystal cores, their fur and bones were worth some money. They were essential for making battle armor and refining weapons, so adventure teams could survive by selling these items.

The black market in the west of the city was the best place for transactions, so the west had become their gathering point.

Before Qin Ze even entered the black market, he heard the hawkers inside, just like the bargaining aunties in a marketplace, arguing fiercely over a scallion.

"Teeth of a fourth-grade beast, the patterned spider! Knowledgeable bosses, come and see! Five hundred taels of silver for sale..."

"Ribs of a fourth-grade beast, the fierce tiger king! Only two hundred taels of silver per rib..."

"Third-grade herbal medicine, Iron Orchid Grass! One thousand taels of silver per piece..."

...

Hearing the hawkers, Qin Ze had a familiar feeling. Wasn't this just like the trading market in the game?

Qin Ze smiled to himself and walked in.

"Brother, do you need beast bones to make weapons?"

"Boss, this is top-quality beast fur. It's impervious to knives and guns. Do you want to see it?"

...

As Qin Ze just walked in, many people approached him to sell their stuff. Qin Ze smiled and rejected them, noticing a group of people gathered at a stall ahead. Among them was a middle-aged man with a thunderous voice saying, "Little girl, I advise you to sell it to me."

"You... your offer is too low."

The voice was weak, but Qin Ze's heart trembled when he heard it, and he immediately walked up.
