Chapter 210: Wandering Alchemist

"Shops, huh..."

Lin Jing had his eye on this commercial street of the Qingming Chamber of Commerce.

In the chaotic Qingzhou, if one could rent a shop here, it could be considered a rare place with order.

As a force with a Ancestor Kong Xuan great cultivator presiding over it, ordinary people would never dare to cause trouble on the Qingming Chamber of Commerce's commercial street.

Even if Lin Jing, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, brought out treasures that would make Nascent Soul cultivators covet them, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would never dare to break the rules for fear of the order maintained by the Qingming Chamber of Commerce.

And as a commercial organization, the Qingming Chamber of Commerce valued reputation most of all, so they would likely not have crooked thoughts about the low-level treasures Lin Jing brought out.

Although none of this was absolute, as long as Lin Jing balanced the value of the items he brought out, this place would be a very good temporary residence for him.

"There are too many special plants in Qingzhou."

"I can collect some and have the Pine Needle Rat synthesize a batch in the Beast Taming Space to see if any useful things can appear to enhance my foundation."

"Afterward, I will use these synthesized plants to research some relatively novel and special low-level elixirs."

"With these elixirs, I will open up a market for elixirs that belongs solely to me."

"At that time, the most important thing for purchasing these elixirs will not be spirit stones, but information on strange fires! Or the strange fire itself."

Lin Jing felt that relying on his own individual strength to find strange fires to strengthen the Fire Qilin Dragon and cultivate the Heavenly Demon Body was ultimately too slow in efficiency.

Based on his experience of establishing the Dragon Palace within the academy, he suddenly wanted to return to his old trade.

Through elixirs, he would let others help him collect strange fires!

This commercial street of the Qingming Chamber of Commerce provided him with a very good stage in this Qingzhou.

"Moreover, with my current illusion techniques, it is not impossible to even manifest the might of a Soul Transformation."

"I can also create the illusion at a specific time that I have a Soul Transformation master to deter the petty and make people wary."

"In this way, with double protection, I will have a long time to slowly improve my strength."

Having made his decision, Lin Jing followed the map he had swiped from within the Thousand Illusions Mountain and began to head toward the second largest city of the Qingming Dao, Tianqing City.

The largest city, Qingming City, had a Ancestor Kong Xuan presiding over it; it was better not to go there.

This second largest city only had a Soul Transformation presiding over it, which was relatively safe for Lin Jing; he did not have to worry about his illusion power being accidentally seen through.

After all, it was impossible for every Soul Transformation to be like the ancestor of the Thousand Illusions Mountain, proficient in the Dao of Illusions.

Tianqing City, commercial street under the Qingming Chamber of Commerce.

A young alchemist dressed in fire-cloud alchemy robes arrived at the shop rental office of the commercial street.

Inside this pavilion, a bald old man with Golden Core cultivation sat

behind the scenes, excitedly playing with a mechanical lock. He looked at Lin Jing, who had entered the room, and said casually: "Renting a shop?"

"Yes, I am a wandering alchemist. I want to rent a shop where I can refine elixirs to rest and sell some elixirs." Lin Jing met his gaze, not showing the weakness a Foundation Establishment cultivator would face a Golden Core cultivator, appearing very calm.

"Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation. What grade of alchemist are you?"

"Third grade." Lin Jing said. Hearing this, the bald old man paused and revealed a smile.

"Young friend, you are young and already a third-grade alchemist. Remarkable. May I ask who your master is? Do you have alchemy certification?"

"My master is the Fire Dragon Alchemy Venerable. He is a rogue cultivator and has no alchemy certification... But is this enough?"

Lin Jing extended his finger. A miniature furnace danced at his fingertip, with a hundred layers of fire waves swirling and compressing around the furnace, dazzling and eye-catching.

"Third-level fire control technique..." The bald old man nodded and said, "That is enough."

A third-grade alchemist can refine third-grade elixirs. Generally speaking, first-grade elixirs are for Qi Refining cultivators, second-grade for Foundation Establishment cultivators, and third-grade for Golden Core cultivators!

A third-grade alchemist at the Foundation Establishment stage is much rarer than an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. Some Core Formation cultivators who cannot refine elixirs are willing to befriend them as equals.

So, Lin Jing showing his identity as a third-grade alchemist meant there was absolutely no need to be servile before a Golden Core cultivator; only then would he appear like a true third-grade alchemist.

Of course, the most important thing was that Lin Jing called his master an "Alchemy Venerable." Generally speaking, only Soul Transformation cultivators and fifth-grade alchemists are qualified to be called Venerables!

Therefore, the old man at the rental office immediately beamed at Lin Jing. Regardless of whether what Lin Jing said was true or false, having a better attitude at this moment would do no harm and cause no loss.

At this moment, Lin Jing could indeed refine third-grade elixirs, but if he added the Fire Qilin Dragon's fused strange fire, he could actually refine fourth-grade elixirs!

However, he was afraid that being able to refine fourth-grade elixirs at the Foundation Establishment stage would be too shocking, so he reported one grade lower. Besides, he had no intention of selling special fourth-grade elixirs anyway...

"How long does young friend intend to rent? Shops here have a minimum rental period of one month." The bald old man asked.

"Let's rent for half a year first." Lin Jing said. The commercial street of the Qingming Chamber of Commerce had a huge flow of people. Renting a shop here, although expensive, would not result in a loss as long as the quality of the items sold was up to par.

"Let me see, elixir shop... There happens to be a vacancy, but the geographical location is lacking."

Lin Jing nodded and said, "The location doesn't matter. Elixir fragrance doesn't fear a deep alley. As long as the price is reasonable, it will do."

"Good!" The bald old man said, "Then I will draft the contract first!"

Lin Jing smiled, confident in his elixirs.

The best-selling Dragon Rising Elixir was an example.

However, elixirs like the Dragon Rising Elixir could naturally not be sold here anymore since they had sold well in the Ancient Kingdom for a period of time, as it would expose his identity.

And for some mainstream elixirs on the continent, they were sold everywhere. If he, a nameless wandering rogue alchemist, came to sell them, unless the price was pressed extremely low, people would rather go to big places to buy them... There was absolutely no need to come to him.

Therefore, for his elixir shop to operate, he had to research a few more types of new elixirs.

Of course, he also had some unique elixirs now that hadn't been exposed much and hadn't been auctioned in the Ancient Kingdom like the Dragon Rising Elixir...

For example, the Pain Elixir... But this thing was a demonic elixir, and he was afraid the market wouldn't be good, so he would forget it.

Besides the Pain Elixir, Lin Jing actually felt that the most suitable one to sell might be the Taotie Elixir. Lin Jing and his group used this elixir often, and it was refined from golden spirit rice.

Golden spirit rice was the first special spirit item synthesized by the Pine Needle Rat's Glazed Immortal Pupils, possessing the ability to assist digestion.

And the Taotie Elixir refined from it, supplemented by other materials, had no side effects and became even easier to use.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator obtained a fourth-grade spirit herb that could increase cultivation, they would have to go into seclusion for several years to digest it after taking it.

But with this Taotie Elixir, before taking the spirit herb, they only needed to take a large amount of Taotie Elixir, and in less than two days, they could perfectly convert the power of the high-grade spirit herb into their own cultivation.

And this was not even the most terrifying thing about the Taotie Elixir.

The most heaven-defying thing about the Taotie Elixir was that even a Qi Refining cultivator could take high-grade elixirs through the Taotie Elixir; the threshold for taking them was very low.

Just like the little Qi Refining green worm Lin Jing had grabbed casually back then; with its cultivation, if it had eaten a third-grade Dragon Rising Elixir, it would definitely have exploded and died because its own cultivation could not withstand the power of the Dragon Rising Elixir.

But because Lin Jing had fed it a Taotie Elixir in advance, even at the first layer of Qi Refining, it perfectly digested the third-grade elixir and completed its bloodline evolution.

This Taotie Elixir was definitely a divine medicine for some second-generation cultivators or those who had obtained opportunities but could not digest them. It could save them a lot of bitter cultivation and allow them to easily take powerful spirit herbs and elixirs to defy their fate.

Unfortunately, Lin Jing was a Longevity Body; otherwise, with this divine elixir to assist his cultivation, he might have already reached Nascent Soul.

Not long after.

A shop named "Nameless Elixir Pavilion" opened in a corner of the Tianqing City commercial street. On the surface of the pavilion, only some common first, second, and third-grade elixirs of the continent were placed, and the prices were not much different from other elixir shops; all required spirit stones to purchase.

And besides some common goods, in the very center of the shop, a special elixir named Taotie Elixir was placed.

Introduction to the elixir: After taking it, one gains the power of Taotie, allowing low-level cultivators to take high-grade

spirit elixirs and divine medicines across several levels without side effects!

Price: Not sold normally! Requires information on strange fires or the strange fire seed itself. Depending on the value of the information and the grade of the strange fire, a corresponding number of Taotie Elixirs will be given!

"Regardless of the grade of the strange fire, with the Fire Qilin Dragon having the 'Rare Beast Divine Ability Flame Emperor', it can all be quickly converted into its power."

"In Qingzhou, it is the only pet beast that can be exposed. Prioritize cultivating it to the Golden Core stage!"

Lin Jing sat on a wooden chair behind the Elixir Pavilion, supervising the Pine Needle Rat farming in the gourd and the Fire Qilin Dragon refining elixirs in the pendant, while planning the direction forward... Just then, the newly opened Elixir Pavilion welcomed its first guest, and a figure walked in. ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
