Of course there is a master

"Brother Qing, there is a chest ahead," Yang Quan said with a smile, pointing to a chest. "You have been following us, yet you haven't obtained a single Secret Realm key. We discovered this chest together, so how about we give it to you?"

"No," Qin Ming shook his head. "Secret Realm keys are useless to me. I entered the Secret Realm mainly to find 'healing grass'. You should keep the Secret Realm key. I only hope that if we discover a barrier containing the ninth-grade spirit plant 'healing grass', you will leave the barrier for me to open."

"healing grass?" Yang Quan nodded. "Is someone injured? However, with your Alchemy skills, a minor injury shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

The ninth-grade spirit plant 'healing grass' had the effect of healing external and internal injuries. However, taking 'healing grass' alone was not as effective as a sixth-grade perfect elixir, which was why Yang Quan asked that.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "It's not for me, but for my master."

Qin Ming told a lie casually.

"Your master?" Yang Quan asked in surprise. "Your Alchemy skills are so impressive; you have already reached the Pill King Realm, and you seem especially skilled at refining perfect elixirs. Then, how high is your master's Dao of Alchemy Realm?"

Yang Quan felt a little secretly pleased. Although he hadn't seen Green Cliff Elder refine Medicinal Pills, the perfect elixirs in the shop had all just been refined and their efficacy reached the perfect stage, so he deduced that these pills must have been refined by Green Cliff Elder.

And now that he heard he had a master, just how powerful must his master be?

Could he refine a High Grade ninth-grade elixir?

"Of course I have a master; otherwise, where would I have learned the Dao of Alchemy?" Qin Ming joked. "Could it be that I read a few Secret Realm books on Alchemy and then figured out the Pill King Realm all by myself?"

Yang Quan smiled and said, "Of course, it's impossible to learn Alchemy just by reading Secret Realm books. Which Alchemy expert didn't have a teacher cultivate them bit by bit to become a Great Master of the Dao of Alchemy?"

"If one could become a Pill King just by reading Secret Realm books, then the whole world would be full of Pill Kings."

"I'm just a bit curious about your master, curious about what kind of person could teach a Great Master of the Dao of Alchemy like Brother Qing."

"I dare not call myself a Great Master; I am merely a Pill King. How could I be called a Great Master?" Qin Ming waved his hand modestly. "I am still far from qualified to be called a Great Master, but my master could certainly be called a Great Master."

Qin Ming did have a master, which was Qing Yan. However, Qin Ming's Alchemy strength had long since surpassed Master Qing Yan.

Of course, ever since his Rebirth, Qin Ming had always used the excuse that he had a master behind him, so he was now very experienced at lying.

"May I ask what Dao of Alchemy Realm your master is in?" Yang Quan turned his Face and looked at Qin Ming, asking.

"Pill Venerable," Qin Ming said with a smile.

Pill Venerable?

Everyone was shocked.

Although a Pill Venerable was not as prestigious as a Martial Venerable, they were still existences standing at the Peak of the continent.

Because it was easier to achieve a Breakthrough as a Pill Venerable than as a Martial Venerable, there were still some Pill Venerables in the Qian Continent, and there were even Pill Saints.

However, such figures were never lacking in Cultivation Resources and rarely refined Medicinal Pills for other Powers. If one wanted to ask someone of this strength to perform Alchemy, it would require a Martial Venerable to set aside their Face and beg.

Or, they would only help someone perform Alchemy if they paid a huge price.

"If only it were a Pill Saint," Yang Quan sighed inwardly.

A Pill Venerable was very prestigious, but a Pill Venerable did not have the strength to refine a ninth-grade elixir.

And his Old Ancestor had been injured by the Power of Heaven and Earth in the Secret Realm; only a ninth-grade elixir could cure him.

Even an eighth-grade elixir refined by a Pill Venerable would have no effect.

Yang Quan knew there were Pill Saints on this continent, but what kind of existence was a Pill Saint? Their Yang Family simply did not have the ability to invite such a figure to take action.

They didn't even know the specific location of a Pill Saint, so how could they ask for a pill?

The most critical point was that even a Pill Saint could not possibly refine a High Grade ninth-grade elixir.

"Forget it, I'd better just focus on searching in the Secret Realm. This is an Ancient Secret Realm, so it's very possible that there is a High Grade ninth-grade pill for treating injuries." Yang Quan composed himself and said to Qin Ming, "Your master is truly amazing; no wonder you can refine so many perfect elixirs."

"Being able to refine a fifth-grade perfect elixir, you should have been able to advance to Pill Emperor long ago, right?"
