Chapter 211: Holy Fire Lotus
Tianqing Commercial Street.
A young boy in blue at the early Foundation Establishment stage looked at the elixir pavilion with the "Nameless" sign hanging in the corner, feeling a burst of confusion.
"Dad, are you saying here?"
"This newly opened elixir pavilion chose this corner with extremely poor traffic; it doesn't look like it has good things."
"What do you know? Your old man was at least a fifth-grade alchemist and a Nascent Soul powerhouse before I died. Although I only have a wisp of remnant soul left now, based on past experience, I guarantee this pavilion definitely houses extremely special elixirs..."
"If Dad hasn't judged wrong, this elixir... is of great use to you, but for the specific situation, you still need to go in and take a look yourself."
The blue-clothed boy stood at the street corner, with no one else around him. He was communicating with a wisp of remnant soul in his body.
"Child understands."
Hearing his dad say so, the boy nodded and stepped into this "Nameless Elixir Pavilion."
After entering, he found that the elixir pavilion was crudely furnished, and the boss didn't look like an alchemist with any qualifications...
Instead, it was a young man sitting on a rocking wooden chair, leisurely reading miscellaneous books...
His cultivation was not much higher than his own.
It was Lin Jing.
Lin Jing glanced at the first guest who came in, revealing a look of surprise, but then he continued to read his book, having no intention of greeting the other party.
What he was reading was not a miscellaneous book, but a book about Qingzhou called "Qingzhou Records." When he was in the Ancient Kingdom, although he had read many books, most were related to the Ancient Kingdom.
Now that he had arrived at a new place, he naturally had to cram his knowledge of this place.
Including the distribution of forces, dangerous forbidden areas, plants, and strange beasts...
"Go there." Under the instruction of the remnant soul in his body, the blue-clothed boy immediately came to the storage place of the Taotie Elixir.
Seeing the introduction of this golden elixir, the boy's pupils shrank, and the remnant soul in his body also surged.
"Sure enough, I wasn't wrong. It is an elixir that assists in absorbing heavenly materials and earthly treasures!!!"
"Strange, I have never seen this kind of elixir. Although the grade is not high, the medicinal effect seems very amazing... The highest quality elixir for assisting digestion on the market is the third-grade Transformation Essence Elixir, but the feeling this golden elixir gives me is that even the Transformation Essence Elixir cannot compare to it!"
"The most important thing is that the Transformation Essence Elixir requires at least Foundation Establishment completion cultivation to be taken without hindrance, but this elixir's medicinal effect is extremely mild. I estimate that even if a Qi Refining cultivator takes it, it will not produce a burden..."
"What a waste. Such a precious elixir, this elixir pavilion actually placed it outside so casually without proper preservation. I'm afraid the medicinal effect will be lost quite a bit... But if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have discovered this Taotie Elixir..."
The blue-clothed boy's expression changed, and he thought: "Dad, this thing... can it assist me in digesting the legacy you left behind?"
"Hmm, one might not be enough, but if
there are a large number of elixirs, you can quickly digest the treasures I stored, without waiting until you reach the Golden Core stage." The remnant soul said: "In this way, you will definitely be able to compete for that quota!"
"But this Taotie Elixir doesn't seem to be sold to the outside world, but needs to be exchanged with strange fire..." The blue-clothed boy hesitated.
Strange fire, they didn't have that kind of thing.
"Among the treasures I stored, there is indeed a 'Holy Fire Lotus'. After taking it, there is a certain probability of refining the strange fire 'Life-Healing Lotus Heart Flame'. However, the Holy Fire Lotus is a fourth-grade spirit item. Because it is incomparably rare, its value is even higher than ordinary fifth-grade spirit items! I am worried that with your situation, taking out such a treasure for trading will bring disaster upon yourself." The remnant soul muttered.
Just as the father and son were communicating, Lin Jing, who was sitting on the wooden chair, suddenly closed the book and said:
"Holy Fire Lotus, Life-Healing Lotus Heart Flame, is that the special flame that has the effect of healing?"
Lin Jing's simple inquiry made the blue-clothed boy suddenly freeze. He raised his head with a stiff expression, looking at Lin Jing in surprise.
It also made the remnant soul in his body suddenly stop the soul communication, looking incredibly at the young boss who was only at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Both sides found it hard to believe how Lin Jing, a mid-stage Foundation Establishment, could hear their soul communication.
"No need to be nervous. I have no malice; I just have a relatively keen perception of souls. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on the two of you." Lin Jing chuckled.
With the Ice Soul Gu, which is the nemesis of souls, in his contract, this kind of remnant soul hidden in a living body could not escape his perception at all.
Even if he wanted to, he could easily pull this remnant soul out of the boy's body and freeze it.
"Young friend has amazing talent, actually being able to detect my existence."
After a moment, the remnant soul in the blue-clothed boy's body no longer hid, but slowly revealed its soul body and said: "Even ordinary Soul Transformations cannot detect my existence. I didn't expect that today I would be detected by a Foundation Establishment boy."
"I not only know that you are hiding in his body in a remnant soul state, but I also know why you became a remnant soul." Lin Jing said calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, it's the Netherworld Palace, right? On your body, there are traces of being burned by the Netherworld Ghost Fire..."
"You were probably severely injured by a Netherworld Palace demonic cultivator, but because you possess a special constitution related to the soul, you luckily didn't die... Your soul attainments are very high, which is also the reason why you feel at ease hiding in his body.
After you became in such a state, your offspring should have no one else trustworthy to take care of them.
Although you left behind quite a few treasures for your offspring, with his cultivation, he cannot perfectly digest them. That's why he took a fancy to the Taotie Elixir. Did I say anything wrong?"
The remnant soul was stunned, and then immediately said in surprise: "May I ask how to address young friend..."
"That's not important. I am just a nameless wandering alchemist, and I am not interested in the grievances between you and the Netherworld Palace. I am just staying here to train because of my master's order."
"If you are interested in this Taotie Elixir, you can just take that Holy Fire Lotus to trade. I will not leak your affairs." Lin Jing said casually.
The remnant soul gave a bitter smile and said: "Then thank you, young friend. Young friend's reasoning is not wrong. Since that is the case, if we take the 'Holy Fire Lotus' to exchange for this 'Taotie Elixir', how many pills does young friend intend to give?"
Lin Jing touched his chin and said: "Bring the Holy Fire Lotus over first. I have to look at the quality..."
The blue-clothed boy cupped his hands slightly, and then left the elixir pavilion together with the remnant soul.
Once outside, the blue-clothed boy broke into a cold sweat and said: "Dad, could this person be from the Netherworld Palace? Only people from the Netherworld Palace would be so familiar with souls and Netherworld Ghost Fire."
The remnant soul sighed: "No, he should just be an alchemist who is purely interested in strange fires. Otherwise, he wouldn't have offered such trading conditions. Your dad is a Fire Soul Body. If he studied under a powerful alchemist and has a certain understanding of Fire Soul Bodies and Netherworld Ghost Fire, it is not impossible. Regardless, this person cannot be provoked."
"As of now, we can only believe that he has no malice."
"When the time comes to trade for this Taotie Elixir, you will immediately digest the treasures I left behind. By absorbing high-grade treasures to transform your talent and potential, you can join the Tongtian Tower. The family is not a place for you to stay for long. Heh... clansmen... staying in the family, you will sooner or later be eaten clean by them."
"Let's go. I'll take you to get the treasures. Be careful. Let me possess your body. You must not let more people know that I have left behind other assets."
"A good start..." After this pair of father and son left, Lin Jing muttered. Life-Healing Lotus Heart Flame, a healing-type strange fire, is very useful for the Fire Qilin Dragon, which will act as armor to take beatings for him in the future! ===== CHAPTER 212 =====
