Chapter 214: Tongtian Tower
The next day.
Lin Jing used the Hidden Dragon Luck to deduce the elixir formulas for the "Self-Explosion Tree Man Elixir" and the "Sun False Core."
This was a customary method.
Elixirs like the Dragon Rising Elixir, Taotie Elixir, and Pain Elixir were all born this way.
First, he used the Hidden Dragon Luck, combined with his own alchemy knowledge, to deduce them.
After deducing a few suitable elixir formulas, he threw the elixir formulas and materials to the Fire Qilin Dragon for testing to see if they could really be refined.
After refining them, he found a lab mouse to test the elixir effect. If it matched the deduction results, then a new type of elixir was successfully created...
"Is the Master in?"
In the Nameless Elixir Pavilion, Lin Jing lay on the wooden chair, appearing to be sleeping, but actually deducing elixir formulas in his mind.
The blue-clothed boy who had taken a fancy to the Taotie Elixir the day before returned to this Nameless Elixir Pavilion and called out to Lin Jing.
He was panting, his expression nervous, and he looked very suspicious.
"Did you bring the Holy Fire Lotus?" Lin Jing opened his eyes. This boy... might have been protected too well on weekdays, appearing slightly immature.
Fortunately, his biological father was still maintaining his state as a remnant soul; otherwise, his path of growth was destined to be difficult.
"I brought it, Senior."
He carefully took out a lotus flower that was stored in a stone box and looked like white-gold flames. Lin Jing took a look and said: "The quality is good, and it's preserved quite well. It seems your father is a very powerful alchemist who knows how to perfectly store spirit items..."
"Young friend is too kind. Compared to young friend's master, I am nothing. If I am not mistaken, this Taotie Elixir must be an elixir uniquely created by young friend's master. In this Qingzhou, in the field of the medicinal effect of this elixir, young friend's master has probably reached the extreme, and no one can surpass him."
The remnant soul in the blue-clothed boy's body spoke slowly, firmly believing in his own judgment. This Taotie Elixir had an unimaginably miraculous effect in assisting low-level cultivators in absorbing high-grade resources.
Lin Jing said: "Alright, how many Taotie Elixirs do you want to exchange for this Holy Fire Lotus?"
The remnant soul pondered for a moment: "Young friend is willing to give as many as you want."
"Although the materials used for this Taotie Elixir do not exceed the second grade, the alchemy technique is exceptionally exquisite, at least from the hands of a third-grade alchemist. Plus, the medicinal effect is amazing and the attributes are scarce. It is not an exaggeration to say that its value is comparable to ordinary fourth-grade elixirs. Young friend, just give what you see fit. Things are precious because they are rare. Regardless, we are convinced."
Lin Jing smiled. It seemed the other party wanted to gain his friendship by taking a small loss.
"These ten bottles contain a total of one hundred Taotie Elixirs. Take them. I heard you seem to have a large amount of legacy that needs to be digested. If it's not enough, you can continue to purchase from me with spirit stones in the future. Consider it a benefit." Lin Jing said.
"Thank you, Master." The remnant soul laughed, and the blue-clothed boy immediately added: "Xia Yan thanks the
Master."
Both sides completed the transaction. Lin Jing sent the guests away directly and threw the Holy Fire Lotus into the Zen staff pendant.
The Holy Fire Lotus was a fourth-grade fire-attribute spirit plant, but because it carried a strange fire, its value was comparable to a fifth-grade spirit plant. With Foundation Establishment cultivation, it was normally very difficult to digest such a treasure. Even if the Holy Fire Lotus's power was gentle, even if this Foundation Establishment stage went into seclusion for decades to absorb the power, it would be difficult to refine.
However, the Fire Qilin Dragon was an exception. It had an Imperial-level fire-system bloodline. Even without the help of the Taotie Elixir, it would not take long to successfully refine this Holy Fire Lotus. If the Taotie Elixir were added, it would be even faster.
It didn't take long for the Fire Qilin Dragon, which had swallowed a large amount of Taotie Elixir, to perfectly absorb the power of the Holy Fire Lotus. While layers of lotus-shaped white flames permeated its body, its realm took a step ahead of the Pine Needle Rat and the Ice Soul Gu, reaching the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, in a state where it could form a core at any time!!!
"Roar!!!"
Inside the Zen staff, the once young Dragon Carp roared at the sky.
"No rush. With your current situation, you should be able to refine a few more strange fires. When your body cannot withstand too many strange fires, then form a core." Lin Jing still sat leisurely on the wooden chair, planning everything, waiting for the arrival of the next "Strange Fire Delivery Boy."
Tianqing City, the Xia family of the cultivation family.
The boy Xia Yan secretly entered a secret room hidden underground through a special formation.
He carried a hundred Taotie Elixirs, walked on the steps, and whispered: "Dad, are these elixirs enough?"
"Definitely not enough."
"However, picking some important things to absorb is barely enough."
The remnant soul appeared in the basement. The next moment, five things appeared around it, permeated with treasure light.
"You are a postnatal Fire Spirit Body, and now you are at the early Foundation Establishment cultivation. With just your current level, you definitely won't pass the assessment of the Tongtian Tower. Whether it is entering the Tongtian Tower through alchemy or through strength, there is no hope."
"If you can't pass the assessment of the Tongtian Tower and stay in the Xia family, you have no hope of transforming into a Nascent Soul in this life."
"Originally, I had already paved the way for you, but unfortunately..."
"That Holy Fire Lotus was also prepared for you by me. When the time comes, if 'Lotus Heart Flame' can be born, it will be of great help to you whether you go into alchemy or anything else. But with the current situation, I can't care about that much. This Taotie Elixir is what you need most."
"This is the 'fourth-grade elixir Fire Spirit Elixir' I refined, which can make your postnatal Fire Spirit Body reach completion and enhance your strength. However, it requires Golden Core stage to take, but now cooperating with this Taotie Elixir, you can just take it directly. Although the effect might not be perfectly stimulated, it will definitely make your Fire Spirit Body's power greatly increase."
"This is the 'fourth-grade spirit plant Tornado Flower' I collected. After digesting it, it can make the 'Tornado Technique' you cultivate reach completion..."
"This is..."
The remnant soul introduced the treasures he had prepared for his son one by one. As the boy took the Taotie Elixir, he began to refine them one by one, soaring rapidly from the early Foundation Establishment stage toward a higher level. The remnant soul revealed a satisfied expression.
"The elixir effect is indeed amazing..."
"In this way, within half a month, he will be able to refine all these five treasures... reaching Foundation Establishment Great Perfection... at the same time, various powers will approach perfection, just in time to catch up with the Tongtian Tower's assessment."
Over the next few days, Lin Jing deduced elixir formulas day after day, waiting for buyers to come to the door.
However, I don't know if it was bad luck or what, although a few guests came later and took a fancy to the Taotie Elixir, these people could not produce strange fires or information on strange fires that satisfied Lin Jing.
Except for the first good start, most traders could at most produce "low-grade beast fires" for trading. This kind of beast fire was completely lower than the Dragon Scale Fire. Lin Jing had no interest at all. The quality of the fire was too low. Even if it were fused through the Flame Emperor divine ability, it would not make much of a splash, wasting the power of the divine ability in vain.
Just like this, half a month passed, and Lin Jing did not exchange any more Taotie Elixirs. He only sold some common elixirs used for practice. Special situations like the Xia father and son were ultimately a minority. Plus... because Lin Jing's inventory was tight, he did not actively promote it for the time being, relying entirely on the elixir fragrance of the Taotie Elixir to attract people who knew the goods, making it even harder to open for business.
"The commercial street today seems exceptionally deserted..."
During the break, Lin Jing went out to get some air, and the conversation of passersby reached his ears.
"Go, go, stop strolling. People from the Tongtian Tower have come to Tianqing City to recruit disciples. I don't know how many immortal seedlings in Tianqing City can be favored by the Tongtian Tower this year..."
"I heard that many disciples from big families like the Xia family, Zhu family, and Fan family have all gone. Let's go and see."
"Tongtian Tower..." Lin Jing pondered. This Tongtian Tower was indeed rumored to like going to every first-class immortal city to recruit disciples. But unfortunately, there were too many experts in the Tongtian Tower, countless Void Profounds, and even Questioning stage ones. It was not suitable for him to have deep contact. Although they were all human forces, the relationship between the Tongtian Tower and the Ancient Kingdom was not that good... The Ancient Emperor once plotted for immortal elixirs!
But the Tongtian Tower cultivators who only came to Tianqing City should not have very high cultivation, likely Nascent Soul at most...
"The passersby just mentioned the Xia family. That boy Xia Yan who bought the Taotie Elixir must be a disciple of the Xia family, right? Is the 'quota' in his father's mouth the disciple quota of the Tongtian Tower? If so, he might be able to promote the Taotie Elixir for me very well in this assessment..."
"I don't know if it can attract the attention of the Tongtian Tower cultivators. As the strongest alchemy force, the Tongtian Tower must have more information on high-grade and top-grade strange fires! Although there are some risks, if it is just ordinary Tongtian Tower cultivators, it is worth contacting." Lin Jing returned to the room and continued to lie down. ===== CHAPTER 215 =====
