“Se-second realm?” Xue Jinwen held the porcelain bottle and stared at Meng Qi in surprise.

Xue Jinwen had an extraordinary background. She was knowledgeable and naturally recognized the value of these pills. Needless to say, whoever invented this method must be very talented. Refined medicine was made from medicinal herbs. In the refining process, the essences of various ingredients were extracted and mixed together. It wasn’t easy to imbue a spell on it.

Meng Qi’s face was so tender, must be so chewy to pinch, and still had a bit of remaining childishness. Xue Jinwen previously guessed that the girl probably came from a hidden medical sect. That was the only way to justify her remarkable skill at such a young age. But a genius disciple cultivated by such a hidden sect couldn’t possibly be unable to refine medicine above the second realm.

For a while, Xue Jinwen didn’t know what to say. “If it’s only second realm…” She muttered with a low voice, “I’m afraid not many sects will be interested. After all, a second realm pill will only be effective for Foundation Establishment cultivators, and almost unusable at the Golden Core stage. You also know…” Xue Jinwen looked at Meng Qi: “Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment stage aren’t far apart. However, the dividing line to the Golden Core stage is much harder to pass. And the further someone’s cultivation is, the harder it is to be promoted. Not only for the major breakthrough, but also to climb the small realms within. When a cultivator reached the Spirit Severing stage, breaking through a small realm is as hard as to break through a stage.”

“I know.” Meng Qi nodded. Simply put, in Three Thousand Worlds, one Foundation Establishment cultivator might only be able to fight five Qi Condensation cultivators. However, a Golden Core cultivator could easily deal with ten Foundation Establishment cultivators. Entering the Spirit Severing stage, in the first realm, a cultivator could easily handle around 30 to 40 Nascent Soul cultivators. Stepping upward into the Great Ascension stage, their power would also grow tremendously for each small realm’s promotion.

Far different than her medical talent, Meng Qi’s talent in cultivation was just mediocre. Before her death, she was at the Golden Core stage, and that was already with some help. Because a person was worried that her low cultivation base might hinder the growth of her medical cultivation, he tried his best to help Meng Qi form her golden core.

Of course, Meng Qi knew that a second realm Beiming pill has little value. But many medical sects would still be interested. On the other hand, great sects like the Fentian Palace would usually have a dedicated medical branch. None of them would be willing to let go of the pills with such a shocking effect.

So Meng Qi was determined to auction her pills. This was Beiming pill. Unlike the Qingfeng pill, this was one of the most bought and most consumed medicine. Especially whenever there was a conflict, the demand for Beiming pills would also rose significantly.

“But I still want to try.” Meng Qi insisted.

“Okay.” For a moment, Xue Jinwen stared at the younger girl’s calm and confident face before smiling softly. “It will be a little troublesome if you want to auction this pill.”

“But I will find the way.” Xue Jinwen was sincerely appreciating Meng Qi. It was probably the mindset of a senior. When seeing a talented and motivated junior, she suddenly wanted to help with something. Otherwise, she would not give her promise last time, telling Meng Qi to visit her at the Western Realm.

“Thank you, sister.” Meng Qi bowed her head and saluted politely. She took the porcelain bottle and poured out three Beiming pills: “This is for you, sister. It’s my gift of gratitude. Sister can mark it with your spiritual sense, and after coming back, I will send it to the relay station.”
