Chapter 383: Lin Lin Pays a Visit

Gentleman Alliance!

The two looked at each other and both gave a thumbs-up.

"Junzi Sect, full of gentlemen, righteous and awe-inspiring; what a good name, one can tell it's a righteous force just by hearing it."

"That's right, this name sounds high-end, atmospheric, and classy; let's call it the Gentleman Alliance."

Hearing the two praise it without sparing any effort.

Dong Yue and Yan Qingxuan almost laughed out loud.

What a good name.

In the eyes of these two old fellows, as long as it isn't called Hehuan Alliance, everything else is a good name.

But then again.

Although the name Gentleman Alliance isn't exactly outstanding.

It is still quite decent.

It does sound very righteous.

"Since the two of you agree, then it is settled," Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Afterwards, the three sects discussed some specific matters regarding the alliance.

Wang Jianqiang was not very proficient in these things, nor did he want to spend effort on this aspect, so he left it all to Dong Yue and Yan Qingxuan to handle.

Three hours later.

The meeting ended, and everyone stood up.

Wang Jianqiang, who had long felt bored to the extreme, was just about to leave when a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Daoist Friend, you once said you could help me manifest my will as soon as possible; does that still count?"

Wang Jianqiang paused his steps and looked at Lin Lin.

A wisp of Spirit Sense projected out from his body.

"Naturally."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's voice transmission, Lin Lin felt a surge of joy in her heart.

She had thought the other party would hold a grudge because of her rebuttal at the meeting earlier, but she hadn't expected him to be so magnanimous.

He didn't mean to mind it in the slightest.

Regarding Wang Jianqiang's claim that he could help her break through, she had originally been full of suspicion.

But after learning that Wang Jianqiang was not only a Fourth-tier High-grade Alchemist but also the number one in alchemy expertise during this Great Wilderness Immortal Palace assessment.

The suspicion in her heart had completely vanished.

Replacing it was endless surprise.

Once upon a time.

She was hailed as the strongest heaven-gifted talent since the founding of the Zhengyang Sect.

She successfully formed her Nascent Soul at only one hundred years old, and now, not yet two hundred, she had reached Nascent Soul Stage Perfection.

But due to certain reasons.

Her cultivation had stagnated; a hundred years had passed, and her cultivation still remained at Nascent Soul Stage Perfection, without moving an inch.

As for any Cultivator, who does not long to improve their cultivation?

As someone who was once a heaven-gifted talent, she was even more so.

After coming back to her senses, she immediately sent a voice transmission to Wang Jianqiang, "I would like to ask for your help; what price do I need to pay?"

"Come find me at my residence later."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, told her his location, and left directly.

After he left.

The others also left one after another.

Because the details of the alliance were cumbersome, a single meeting was far from enough to finish the discussion.

To facilitate the discussion of details later, the Cultivators of the two sects stayed at the Hehuan Sect for the time being.

Dong Yue and Yan Qingxuan personally assigned residences for the Cultivators of the two sects.

Lin Lin stayed in her room alone.

She waited until dusk before leaving the room.

She was just about to go find Wang Jianqiang.

She saw a figure coming towards her.

A sturdy old man with white hair and beard and bulging muscles.

"Lin'er, are you..."

"Preparing to go out for a walk?"

Jia Wenchang looked at Lin Lin, his wrinkled face full of smiles.

He had known Lin Lin for a very long time.

At that time.

Lin Lin had just embarked on the path of cultivation, a heaven-gifted talent and rising star who had shocked the entire Zhengyang Sect.

And he was also a highly regarded Outer Sect heaven-gifted talent.

The two had always had a good relationship.

Therefore.

Even though Lin Lin had now become a Supreme Elder at Nascent Soul Stage Perfection, while he was only a Golden Core Late Stage Elder.

They still maintained their old form of address.

Seeing Jia Wenchang, Lin Lin smiled and nodded, "I have some private matters to attend to."

Jia Wenchang had originally wanted to suggest walking together.

But upon hearing Lin Lin say she had "private matters" to attend to, he could only swallow the words that had reached his lips.

He nodded tactfully, "Since that is the case, then this Jia will not disturb you; I shall come to visit another day."

Having said this, he turned and left.

Watching Jia Wenchang's back, Lin Lin shook her head.

She was very clear about Jia Wenchang's intentions.

But she was single-mindedly focused on cultivation and had never thought about matters of romance.

If it were anyone else, she could have rejected them outright.

But she had known Jia Wenchang for over two hundred and sixty years, and their friendship was quite good; she did not wish to hurt him.

Thinking of this.

She shook her head and stopped thinking about these things.

She took flight and flew toward the direction where Wang Jianqiang resided.

……

After returning from the meeting.

Wang Jianqiang thought for a moment and flipped his hand to take out a Jade Slip.

Recorded within the Jade Slip was a Fourth-tier Advanced Pill called the "Will-Condensing Pill," which could increase a Cultivator's success rate in manifesting their will.

The maximum increase could reach thirty percent.

It was something he had redeemed from his residence in Shenfeng City just as the second round of the Immortal Palace Assessment was about to end.

He had originally planned to wait until he or Mu Lingxi and the others reached Nascent Soul Stage Perfection before refining it.

However, since there was the matter of Lin Lin, he might as well refine it now.

His gaze fell upon the Jade Slip in his hand.

"Ding, inferior Pill Formula detected. Optimization and upgrade will consume 5000 Cultivation Points. Do you wish to optimize and upgrade?"

In his mind, the system's voice arrived.

"Yes."

Wang Jianqiang moved his thoughts.

"Ding, Will-Condensing Pill Formula has been successfully optimized and upgraded to the Perfect Will-Condensing Pill Formula."

As the system prompt sounded again, a stream of information surged out from his mind.

Wang Jianqiang examined the Perfect Will-Condensing Pill Formula.

The consumption required for refining was lower, but the effect had seen a significant increase.

Originally, it offered a maximum success rate increase of thirty percent.

Now, it had become a fixed increase of sixty percent success rate.

This was absolutely a terrifying degree of improvement.

It could be said that as long as a Cultivator taking this pill was not someone whose potential was completely exhausted, they would almost certainly succeed in manifesting their will after taking it.

Afterward, he took out the Medicinal Herbs and the Pill Furnace and began refining.

With the Spirit Flame, his Alchemy speed greatly increased, and the consumption for Alchemy was also reduced to the minimum.

In just a short two or three hours, he had refined ten Perfect Will-Condensing Pills.

He looked at the sky.

It was already dusk.

Just as he was preparing to continue refining, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura appearing outside the door.

His expression shifted.

He stood up and went into the main hall.

Just at this moment, a knock on the door came.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, waved his hand, and the door opened on its own.

A slender figure came into view.

Her figure was tall and lithe.

On the small section of her lower leg exposed to the air, the skin was fair and delicate, with well-defined muscles.

There were no bulges whatsoever.

Instead, it presented a perfect sense of linear texture.

This gave her a wild beauty while also possessing the softness of a woman.

"Fairy, please enter."

Wang Jianqiang swept his gaze over her exquisite face and said with a chuckle.

Lin Lin nodded and walked into the room.

Smelling the fragrance of pills in the room, her expression shifted, "Daoist Friend, are you practicing Alchemy? Did I disturb you?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "It is no matter. With a Fairy visiting, what does it matter if a furnace of pills is ruined?"

Ruined the pills?

Lin Lin was startled upon hearing this, and a look of apology appeared on her face, "Daoist Friend Wang, I am truly sorry; I can compensate you."

"Fairy, what are you saying?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Are you not scolding this Wang? It is merely a furnace of pills; Fairy need not take it to heart."

Lin Lin nodded.

However, the guilt in his heart did not dissipate.

Instead, it grew a few shades more intense.
