Chapter 222: Dream Pill

Chenyang City in the winter month was very beautiful, but there were few people coming and going, making it appear somewhat desolate.

Today, however, Chenyang City welcomed three guests.

"Although Chenyang City is beautiful, it is far inferior to our Feather Transformation Sect!" Looking at the bustling Chenyang City in her memory, Qin Qing sighed with emotion.

"That's true!" Qin Ming laughed. "Our Sect is like a fairyland in winter; how could Chenyang City compare to it?"

Upon learning that Qin Ming was coming to Chenyang City, Qin Qing cried and insisted on coming along. With no other choice, Qin Ming had to bring her with him.

Soon, Qin Ming and his group arrived at a Medicinal Pill shop, and Qin Ming led everyone straight inside.

"What would you like, guest?" a maidservant greeted them and asked.

Qin Ming laughed and said, "I want half a jin of beef grass!"

The maidservant's expression changed, and she said, "Beef grass is five hundred taels per qian; we don't sell more than that!"

"I want two qian!" Qin Ming said sternly.

"Please come inside, guest!" Saying this, the maidservant led Qin Ming to a secret room.

Entering the secret room, five or six people were busy working there, one of whom was a Disciple of the Feather Transformation Sect.

"Greetings, sir!" The group bowed when they saw Qin Ming enter.

"Rise, I have some things to ask!" Qin Ming said.

"Yes!" The group stood up.

This Medicinal Pill shop was an intelligence gathering point established by Jue Wuya. In Chenyang City, besides this Medicinal Pill shop, there were also inns, Restaurants, and so on, all of which served as intelligence points.

"Is there any important news in Chenyang City recently?" Qin Ming asked.

"The Qu Family and the Zhang Family have had conflicts again. They fought the day before yesterday and two Martial Artists died.

The poison the old master of the Zhang Family is suffering from has deepened. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhang Family invited a Martial Ancestor Expert to the Family during this time, they would likely have already been wiped out by the Qu Family."

A man wearing grey clothes reported respectfully.

Qin Ming nodded and asked, "Have you found out what poison the Zhang Family Head is suffering from?"

"No, the Zhang Family has kept this very tightly under wraps!" the man replied.

Qin Ming asked again, "Is there any other special news? Have you found any clues about the spirit plants I asked you to investigate?"

The grey-clothed man shook his head and said, "There is no other special news, and there are no clues about those spirit plants. It might be because the time has been too short. I believe that after a period of time, we will definitely be able to discover those spirit plants."

Qin Ming nodded. He knew he was anxious, but Elder Qing's poison could not wait. It had already been half a year, and only one spirit plant had been found.

He didn't know when he would be able to gather all the spirit plants to refine the detoxification pill for Elder Qing.

"Alright, you may continue with your work!" Saying this, Qin Ming walked outside, with Qin Qing and Jue Wuya following behind him.

Walking out of the Medicinal Pill shop, Qin Ming headed straight for the Pill Alliance.

"I plan to go and certify my status as an alchemist; that might make finding spirit plants easier!" Qin Ming said.

Jue Wuya said, "Indeed!"

Qin Qing said, "If only I could become an alchemist too, then I could refine candy beans myself!"

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "You don't have the patience to sit idly in front of an alchemy furnace, so it is impossible for you to become an alchemist.

Besides, even if you became an alchemist, you still wouldn't be able to refine candy beans."

"Hmph… I don't want to sit in front of a Pill Furnace to tend the fire! That's even more boring than practicing martial arts. Big Brother, do you have any Medicinal Pill that I can eat to become an alchemist?"

Qin Qing looked at Qin Ming and asked.

"I do!" Qin Ming said with amusement.

"Give it to me quickly!" Qin Qing immediately demanded.

Qin Ming placed his palm onto Qin Qing's hand and said, "Here, this is it, a Dream Pill!"

"A Dream Pill?"

Qin Qing felt her palm and discovered there was nothing there. How could she not know that Qin Ming was mocking her? Immediately, she refused to let it go and chased after Qin Ming, playfully roughhousing.
