The reward for low-level pills held little appeal for Qin Han Chu, so he decided to help Lai Cai Yun casually.
Although the Alchemist Association stipulated that members must accept orders through the association, as long as Qin Han Chu did not ask for remuneration, it would not be considered a commercial order.
“No need, just treat me to a meal as payment,” Qin Han Chu replied.
Lai Cai Yun was overjoyed, “No problem, I’ll definitely treat you to a feast.”
Qin Han Chu smiled and pushed the door open, entering the room, “I’ll look for you when I go to the Alchemist Association. You won’t be going out anytime soon, right?”
Lai Cai Yun immediately shook her head, “I won’t be going out.”
“I’m going into seclusion for a while. See you later.”
The Qi Refining Pills were of great help to Qin Han Chu. The Qi Refining Pills he obtained from this assessment were enough to allow Qin Han Chu to reach the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.
Lai Cai Yun happily returned to her room.
With a Golden Purple Pill Master helping her refine pills, she was sure to get the highest quality pills.
With the help of these pills, she had a high probability of reaching the Grandmaster realm.
Sitting on the sofa, Lai Cai Yun turned on her computer.
As soon as she logged into the Black Tower’s martial artist forum, a message caught her eye.
“The Youngest Honored Pill Master!”
Seeing the post, Lai Cai Yun curiously clicked on it.
When she saw the content of the post, she was stunned on the spot.
Her neighbor had actually become an Honored Pill Master!
To reach the Honored Pill Master realm at such a young age was incredible.
“I actually asked an Honored Pill Master to refine low-level pills for ninth-grade martial artists?” Lai Cai Yun felt a bit flustered. This favor was too great.
How precious was an Honored Pill Master’s time? Treating him to just one meal was too stingy.
…
After a night of cultivation, Qin Han Chu successfully broke through and had now reached the late stage of the Grandmaster realm!
Although Qin Han Chu’s realm was only the late stage of the Grandmaster, his combat ability and methods were incomparable to other Grandmasters.
In terms of execution, even a peak Grandmaster was no match for Qin Han Chu.
After successfully breaking through, Qin Han Chu slept at home again.
The next day at noon, he rang Lai Cai Yun’s doorbell. She quickly opened the door and walked out.
Today, Lai Cai Yun was wearing casual home clothes, which made her look even more beautiful.
“I’m planning to go to the Alchemist Association. Give me your medicinal ingredients,” Qin Han Chu said.
“Okay, please wait a moment.” Lai Cai Yun hurried back into her room and then handed a briefcase to Qin Han Chu, “I only found out last night that you are already an Honored Pill Master. It’s a waste of your time to refine such low-level pills for me.”
“It’s alright. I can help you refine them in the gaps between refining my own pills,” Qin Han Chu smiled faintly. “You can go back first. I should be back in about two days because refining my own pills takes a bit longer, and I’ve also accepted two orders at the Alchemist Association.”
Lai Cai Yun quickly said, “I’m not in a hurry. Time is up to you. I’m already very grateful for your help.”
“Go back,” Qin Han Chu said and left.
Looking at Qin Han Chu’s retreating back, Lai Cai Yun was a little dazed. “Is he a good person, or does he have feelings for me? Although he is young and capable, I cannot sell myself, unless he is truly suitable for me and truly loves me.”
If Lai Cai Yun knew what Qin Han Chu was thinking, he would have been speechless.
He agreed to help simply because Lai Cai Yun was his next-door neighbor, and refining low-level pills did not cost him too much energy.
He never expected Lai Cai Yun to have such a rich inner world.
Upon arriving at the Alchemist Association, Qin Han Chu noted down his intention to refine pills.
After the note was finished, Qin Han Chu walked into the alchemy room with the customer’s medicinal ingredients.
Qin Han Chu multitasked, and he completed the Alchemist Association’s orders in just seven hours.
Although the Alchemist Association had a commission standard, the number of pills that could be produced depended on the alchemist’s skill.
With Qin Han Chu’s strength, he could produce a higher yield of pills with the same amount of medicinal ingredients compared to other alchemists.
With more pills produced, Qin Han Chu could naturally keep more as remuneration.
After handing the refined pills to the receptionist, Qin Han Chu began to refine his own pills and Lai Cai Yun’s pills.
The process of refining pills was rather tedious. During his free time, Qin Han Chu would practice his combat skills.
All the pills were refined two days later.
“Put my order on hold. I need to go into seclusion for a while. I’ll notify you of the reopening time later,” Qin Han Chu said to the receptionist at the front desk.
The receptionist quickly nodded, “Understood.”
Qin Han Chu had reached the late stage of the Grandmaster realm and was planning to visit the World Tree.
Leaving the Alchemist Association, Qin Han Chu rode his motorcycle back to his residence.
When he reached the door, he first knocked on Lai Cai Yun’s door.
Lai Cai Yun quickly opened the door and said, “Pill Master Ye, you’re back.”
Qin Han Chu smiled and handed the pill bottle to Lai Cai Yun, “A total of twenty-five top-quality pills were produced.”
Lai Cai Yun’s eyes widened in disbelief. She had expected her medicinal ingredients to yield only a dozen pills, but she never thought Qin Han Chu would give her twenty-five, and all of them were top-quality.
“So many?” Lai Cai Yun exclaimed in shock.
Qin Han Chu smiled, “Go back and cultivate.”
Taking the pills from Qin Han Chu, Lai Cai Yun said, “Pill Master Ye, when will you have time? We agreed I would treat you to a meal as thanks.”
“Let’s talk about it in a week. I need to go into seclusion to cultivate as well.”
After saying this, Qin Han Chu opened the door and walked into his room.
Seeing Qin Han Chu close the door, Lai Cai Yun was a little puzzled.
She had expected Qin Han Chu to take the opportunity of her treating him to a meal to get closer to her, but she never expected Qin Han Chu to be indifferent to it.
Was it really just a casual favor?
Back in his room, Qin Han Chu resumed his seclusion.
With the pills he refined himself and the commissions from helping others refine pills, Qin Han Chu had a sufficient number of pills.
Combined with Qin Han Chu’s top-tier cultivation techniques, his cultivation progress was astonishing.
Seven days passed in a flash.
After seven days of hard work, Qin Han Chu’s realm had advanced from the late stage of the Grandmaster to the peak of the Grandmaster.
At this moment, Qin Han Chu was only one step away from the Martial King realm.
Qin Han Chu did not plan to continue breaking through to the Martial King realm. He needed time to settle his realm and consolidate his foundation.
After eating instant food for a week, Qin Han Chu wanted to go out for a good meal.
Although Lai Cai Yun owed him a meal, it was just a joke. Qin Han Chu would not actually ask Lai Cai Yun to treat him.
Qin Han Chu did not intend to look for Lai Cai Yun, but Lai Cai Yun had been thinking about it.
With the help of Qin Han Chu’s pills, Lai Cai Yun had successfully reached the Grandmaster realm as she wished.
For the past two days, she had been listening for any movement from Qin Han Chu’s room.
As soon as Qin Han Chu opened the door, Lai Cai Yun hurriedly opened her door and walked out, “Pill Master Ye, have you finished your seclusion? Let me treat you to a meal!”
