Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 454 - 343: The Final Battle Approaches

When he first saw the materials marked on this piece of paper, even the Alliance Hierarch felt somewhat shocked.

That’s why he had this question.

Recently, the orders issued by the Evil Extermination Bureau gave the Alliance Hierarch a vague suspicion.

He knew that perhaps a great danger was about to descend upon Xunyang Prefecture, which is why the Evil Extermination Bureau needed so many reserve pills.

And now Qin An also came to refine pills, the Alliance Hierarch knew that Qin An was probably making the necessary preparations for that great danger.

However, the items listed above were too many, enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

It’s not that the Alchemy Master Alliance couldn’t produce them, but even if they managed to gather them, it would be extremely difficult for Qin An to carry the refined pills.

He might even need a big package strapped to his back.

For Qin An, a Mountain Patrol Golden General skilled in combat, this would actually hinder his fighting ability.

Qin An shook his head and said, "You just go ahead and prepare it; next I will refine these pills, of course, you can watch from the side. I believe it will be greatly beneficial to you."

Upon hearing these mysterious words, the Alliance Hierarch immediately understood and nodded, saying, "Alright, I will get ready right away. Sir, please wait for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and all materials will be delivered."

He understood at heart, Qin An never disappoints anyone.

Since Qin An was going to do this, he must be highly confident.

Although the Alliance Hierarch was also curious about how Qin An planned to carry so many pills, he wouldn’t ask further.

Because he knew Qin An’s personality well; asking too much would make Qin An very displeased.

After that, the Alliance Hierarch said no more, and immediately instructed an elder to come over.

"Elder, prepare according to the materials listed on the letter."

Although the elder was also quite astonished at heart, he knew the Alliance Hierarch didn’t want him to speak further, so he said no more and quickly left the room.

Qin An, sitting in his chair, took the clear tea handed over by the Alliance Hierarch and drank it casually.

About the time for an incense stick to burn later, a mountain-like pile of materials was moved into the room by the disciples of the Alchemy Master Alliance.

These disciples, as they moved the materials, secretly glanced at Qin An, who was drinking tea, with eyes full of awe and curiosity.

Whether they were newly joined or long-time disciples, they all understood clearly that Qin An was a distinguished guest of the Alchemy Master Alliance, and was well aware of Qin An’s unrivaled talent in alchemy within Xunyang Prefecture.

Thus, upon seeing Qin An, they could hardly hide their curiosity towards him.

Qin An remained unperturbed, and only after all the disciples had retreated did he put down the teacup in his hand.

The tea in the cup was already at the bottom.

Qin An did not refill it but instead stood up and approached the pill furnace.

Though puzzled, the Alliance Hierarch stood respectfully beside Qin An, like a pill boy.

He was already adept at doing these tasks.

In fact, as long as he could learn what he wanted from Qin An, he’d be willing to not only be a pill boy but even a Fire Fan Boy.

In front, the furnace fire burned below the pill furnace, the raging flames emanating an intense heat that made one restless.

Qin An waved his sleeve, and then a True Essence struck the center of the pill furnace.

The pill furnace opened instantly.

Qin An raised his hand and pointed.

Nine-Colored True Essence surged, enveloping the mountain-like materials, all thrown into the pill furnace.

Fortunately, the pill furnace was large enough, even with so many materials thrown in by Qin An, it only took up half.

Without hesitation, Qin An continued to strike out Nine-Colored True Essence.

Each strand of True Essence precisely entered the pill furnace.

The Alliance Hierarch observed from the side.

As Qin An refined Nine-Colored True Essence, the surprise in his heart kept increasing visibly.

He understood the way of alchemy, and outside Qin An, was the most capable alchemist in Xunyang Prefecture.

Thus, upon seeing Qin An’s method of refining Nine-Colored True Essence, he immediately felt greatly benefited.

Following this, what happened next left the Alliance Hierarch utterly shocked.

Within the pill furnace, the materials fused rapidly at a visible pace.

In the Alliance Hierarch’s view, this was absolutely impossible, for Qin An had added many materials into the furnace, each representing a different pill.

Considering the scene, the Alliance Hierarch rushed to prepare to speak and tell Qin An to stop quickly, or else risk ruining this batch of materials.

But seeing Qin An’s calm demeanor, held back by force, he refrained from interrupting Qin An, merely standing restlessly on the spot.

Next, these materials transformed into a large quantity of pill liquid, under the surge of Nine-Colored True Essence, forming one by one colossal elixir pills.

Yet before the elixir pills fully solidified, under the surge of Nine-Colored True Essence, they gradually gathered together, forming two hundred grain-sized pills.

Qin An waved his sleeve, and the pill furnace opened instantly.

Two hundred pills flew from the pill furnace and landed on a nearby plate.

Qin An silently took out two porcelain bottles and loaded them inside, placing them in his bosom.

Then, Qin An turned to look at the Alliance Hierarch and asked.

"Did you understand?"

Recovering his senses, the Alliance Hierarch’s expression was extremely complex, he smiled wryly, "I understood some, but not entirely. I would like to ask Mr. Qin, did you just merge all the materials into the pills, allowing each pill to simultaneously possess the effects of attack, defense, body technique, and recovery?"

Qin An nodded and said, "That’s right, it seems you indeed have some talent, able to grasp it. My alchemy technique should be beneficial to you, if you consider it well and attempt a replay, perhaps you could try merging two types of pills."

"Albeit not refined to as small as mine, but you would still gain immensely."

Saying these words, Qin An held nothing back.

For in his view, though the Alliance Hierarch had been influenced by some of Xunyang Prefecture’s power games and interests, overall, he remained a relatively pure alchemist.

Moreover, he has been quite helpful to him.

Thus, he felt it was proper to give him some guidance.

The Alliance Hierarch’s face showed earnestness and suddenly bowed deeply to Qin An.

This bow bent to the knees, showing great respect.

Qin An did not stop him and accepted the salute with great composure.

The Alliance Hierarch then lifted his head, revealing a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Sir, if I could truly comprehend even a sliver of your alchemy technique, it would greatly enhance the Alchemy Master Alliance of Xunyang Prefecture."

"This has never happened before. Your disregard for faction barriers, teaching me these skills, means that from now on, the Alchemy Master Alliance of Xunyang Prefecture will erect a statue for Mr. Qin and offer incense regularly as a mark of respect."

Offering incense to statues is a tradition within Xunyang Prefecture, but only those with exceedingly high achievements are given this honor.

The willingness of the Alchemy Master Alliance to erect a statue for Qin An signifies their complete submission to his prowess.

Qin An shook his head: "As you wish, but now I must leave."

This time, he utilized the integration method of the Pill Master profession, merging all the pills into one.

A total of two hundred pills, although each was only the size of a grain of rice, every single one could unleash a power unseen by the entire Alchemy Master Alliance of Xunyang Prefecture.

This was in preparation for the day of the final battle.

Now that the task was completed, Qin An naturally had no intention of staying.

The Alliance Hierarch did not dare to keep him, seeing Qin An off from the Alchemy Master Alliance.

Once Qin An left, the Alliance Hierarch hastily returned to the room to review Qin An’s alchemy techniques.

...

After leaving the Alchemy Master Alliance, Qin An, carrying the pills, headed to the Evil Extermination Bureau.

He had now stored all that could be stored.

Two hundred pills carried on him would not be heavy, nor occupy space, and certainly would not affect the exertion of his skills.

If he carried more, it would instead be a hindrance.

Thus, now Qin An only needed to wait for the arrival of the final battle.

Of course, before this, he could train the proficiency of the Scholar Profession, raising it to level seventeen, and temporarily refrain from execution.

On his way back, everything was uneventful.

But upon arriving at the Evil Extermination Bureau, he found it significantly more lively.

At this moment, within the Evil Extermination Bureau, many Prefecture Generals were gathered, all coincidentally looking in one direction.

Even the arrival of Qin An did not capture the attention of these people.

Qin An slightly frowned, then stepped into the Evil Extermination Bureau.

When he saw the visitors, even with his temperament as calm as water, he could not help but show a hint of surprise.

In the courtyard of the Evil Extermination Bureau, at this moment, dozens of figures stood.

These people were dressed in dark attire, with a gold-patterned token hanging from their waists.

The golden pattern on each token shimmered in the sunlight, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Each person was a Mountain Patrol Golden General, representing the pinnacle of authority in Xunyang Prefecture, holding the highest positions.

Each one’s emergence from the Evil Extermination Bureau signaled the top combat force of the Bureau.

However, at this moment, they were gathered together, each with a solemn look, as if waiting for something.

Subsequently, Qin An discovered two familiar figures among the Mountain Patrol Golden Generals.

Jin Fengyu stood with arms behind his back.

Beside him was Luola in green clothes, bare feet, with a playful smile on her face.

Next to Luola was Liu Yi, who had recently been promoted to Mountain Patrol Golden General.

The arrival of Qin An naturally drew the attention of this group of Mountain Patrol Golden Generals.

Liu Yi saw Qin An and immediately waved excitedly: "Qin An! Come here, come here!"

The other Mountain Patrol Golden Generals glanced at Qin An’s token, showing expressions of contemplation.

They had also heard of Qin An’s reputation, as nowadays in Xunyang Prefecture, there was no one who did not know Qin An.

Therefore, these Mountain Patrol Golden Generals all showed a curious expression towards Qin An.

After some thought, Qin An walked towards Jin Fengyu and the others.

Luola maintained her playful demeanor and looked at Qin An with a hint of interest.

Jin Fengyu was infinitely emotional, and when Qin An got closer, he said, "Though your strength is only at the Great Success of Unity Realm, even if I were to duel with you, I fear I wouldn’t gain any advantage."

The intuition between masters is just like this.

He could sense the powerful pressure emanating from Qin An and was aware of Qin An’s past achievements, which led to this remark.

While making this statement, beyond feeling emotional, Jin Fengyu also had a hint of gratitude.

He felt fortunate for his past support of Qin An and his unreserved assistance.

Otherwise, he might regret it now.

Qin An shook his head and cupped his fists: "Mr. Jin overpraises me. I will never forget Mr. Jin’s assistance and guidance to me."

He was a person of great principle, always repaying kindness abundantly, and showing no mercy to those who harmed him.

Jin Fengyu was very kind to him; it could be said there was no second person in Xunyang Prefecture as kind.

Therefore, Qin An’s words were serious.

Luola leaned in, blinking: "What about me?"

"Granny is naturally the same," Qin An replied without hesitation.

Luola showed a bored expression: "Liar, by the look on your face, I can tell you’re lying."

Liu Yi nodded in agreement: "Exactly, exactly. You can tell right away; Qin An is lying. He sometimes seems interesting, but at other times, he’s incredibly boring. Though most times, he’s fascinating."

The master and disciple playfully interacted, easing the solemn atmosphere slightly.

Qin An avoided prolonging the topic with Luola and turned to ask: "Mr. Jin, what is the matter behind this significant gathering?"

Using so many Mountain Patrol Golden Generals, they seemed to have gathered nearly all of Xunyang Prefecture’s Mountain Patrol Golden Generals.

Qin An sensed there was indeed a major event behind this.

Upon hearing this, Jin Fengyu’s expression turned suddenly serious: "The day of the final battle is about to arrive..."
