Chapter 448: Plundering the Wenxian City Treasury

Thinking of this.

Linglong looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Daoist Friend Wang, Linglong has a favor to ask, I wonder if you could agree?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred, and he said calmly, "Please speak, City Lord."

"The current battle outside the city is intense. Linglong would like to ask you to refine Pills to help those defending Cultivators recover from their injuries as quickly as possible and change the course of the battle," Linglong said.

Wang Jianqiang frowned.

"Daoist Friend Wang, once Wenxian City falls, this Outer Realm Battlefield will be used as a springboard by Cultivators from Outside the Realm to invade our world."

"At that time, it will certainly lead to devastation. I implore you to help."

As she spoke, she bowed to Wang Jianqiang with a solemn expression.

Wang Jianqiang's gaze passed over her lowered collar without revealing his thoughts.

He couldn't help but say, "Magnificent, truly magnificent."

Linglong kept her head bowed, maintaining her bowing posture, "Linglong is merely fulfilling the responsibility I should bear; it is not worth calling magnificent."

"Daoist Friend Wang, I implore you to agree."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang showed a look of difficulty, "I am also a part of our world, a part of Wenxian City, and I should contribute my share, but..."

"But what?" Linglong was startled.

Wang Jianqiang sighed, "It's just that although I can refine Perfect Pills, it requires paying a huge price!"

"If it were only refining a small amount, I could still manage, but if I were to refine a large quantity..."

Having said this, Wang Jianqiang shook his head helplessly.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Linglong's expression tightened.

Then, a look of sudden realization appeared.

That makes sense.

If Perfect Pills were so easy to refine, how could they have become a legend in this world?

She pondered for a moment and asked with some hesitation, "What price? Is there any way to offset it?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at her and was silent for a moment, "There is, and the City Lord could actually help, but... I am just afraid the City Lord would not be willing."

Linglong was stunned, then showed joy, "I can help? Daoist Friend Wang, please just say it; as long as it is within my power, I will certainly not refuse."

"This..." Wang Jianqiang was still somewhat hesitant, "In my heart, the City Lord has always been a person worthy of respect. This method is truly a bit... let's just forget it."

"I will do my best to refine Healing Pills, even if I have to risk this life of mine, I will not hesitate!"

"It is just that, before my vitality is exhausted, I am afraid I can only refine at most a hundred or so Perfect Fourth-Order Healing Pills."

Hearing this, Linglong's expression was one of shock.

Exhausting vitality?

Refining these Perfect Pills actually requires consuming vitality!

When Daoist Friend Wang helped her refine pills before, he had never mentioned this!

Thinking of this, a trace of being moved could not help but arise in her heart.

"Ding, Linglong's Good and Evil Value has increased. Current Good and Evil Value: 60."

Hearing the system notification sound in his mind, Wang Jianqiang felt happy.

On the surface, however, he showed nothing, still maintaining a look of determination.

"Daoist Friend Wang, you need not have any concerns. Just tell me how I can help you."

Linglong looked at Wang Jianqiang with a solemn expression.

Not to mention the affection Wang Jianqiang had for her.

Just based on his identity as a Genius Array Master, she absolutely could not let anything happen to him.

Moreover, a hundred or so Perfect Pills were too few and far from enough to influence the battle.

"This..."

"Daoist Friend Wang, the battle outside the city is critical now; we cannot delay any longer." Seeing that Wang Jianqiang was still hesitant, Linglong couldn't help but urge him.

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang seemed to have finally made up his mind.

He nodded, "Fine, I will tell you."

"I need to consume my own vitality to refine Perfect Pills."

"And the vitality consumed in refining Perfect Pills cannot be replenished by pills; it can only rely on..."

"Rely on what?" Linglong's expression stirred.

Wang Jianqiang was silent for an instant, then opened his mouth and uttered two words.

Hearing these two words, Linglong's face instantly turned bright red, and she said shyly, "Is there only this one method?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at her, "This Life Restoration Secret Method was found together with the method for refining Perfect Pills. To this day, I have not yet discovered any other method."

Hearing this, Linglong was silent for a moment.

She thought of the Wenxian City Cultivators fighting bloody battles outside the city.

She thought of Wang Jianqiang's previous determination to face death.

As the City Lord.

How could she fall behind others?

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, "Fine, Daoist Friend Wang, I agree."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Since the City Lord has agreed, the vitality problem is solved. Next is the issue of the Alchemy materials."

"The Alchemy materials can be taken from the Wenxian City treasury," Linglong said.

After the two reached an agreement.

They immediately flew toward the City Lord's Mansion.

Because Linglong should not use Spiritual Power.

It was still Wang Jianqiang who took on the task of traveling.

He held Linglong's palm and very quickly arrived inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Amidst the astonished gazes of many guards, he flew toward the depths of the City Lord's Mansion with Linglong.

Along the way.

Because of Linglong's presence, they did not encounter the slightest obstruction.

Very quickly.

The two arrived outside a great hall in the deepest part of the City Lord's Mansion.

Walking into the great hall.

Wang Jianqiang's vision blurred, and he immediately discovered that he had already arrived within a vast space.

In this space, a large amount of resources were piled up.

Medicinal Herbs, Spirit Minerals, Spirit Stones, Pill Formulas...

The categories were complex and everything one could wish for was there.

Among them, Wang Jianqiang even saw a large number of Desolate Beads.

A rough estimate.

Over a million Low-level Desolate Beads.

Over one hundred thousand Intermediate Desolate Beads.

There were also over ten thousand High-level Desolate Beads.

There were even over a thousand King-level Desolate Beads.

"Daoist Friend Wang, this is the Wenxian City treasury."

"Whatever you need, just take it."

Just as Wang Jianqiang was continuously examining the treasures in the treasury, Linglong's voice came from the side.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Since that is the case, this Wang will not stand on ceremony."

After speaking.

He walked straight toward the place where the Desolate Beads were piled.

Linglong was stunned.

Is Daoist Friend Wang going to...

Collect the Desolate Beads?

Could it be that refining a Perfect Pill also requires the use of Desolate Beads?

Her expression was hesitant for a moment.

But she did not stop him.

Very quickly, Wang Jianqiang swept all the Desolate Beads away.

He then came to the place where the Spirit Minerals were piled, and only after filling two Space Rings completely did he finish collecting the Spirit Minerals.

Afterward, he walked toward the place where the Spirit Stones were stored.

Seeing this scene.

Linglong's smooth brow twitched, and she finally could not help herself.

"Daoist Friend Wang, are you not here to select materials for Alchemy? This is..."

"The City Lord may not know, but the refining method for a Perfect Pill is somewhat different and requires other items for assistance."

Wang Jianqiang responded while taking out a new Space Ring to collect the Spirit Stones.

Linglong was taken aback.

Using other items for assistance?

If put that way, Spirit Stones could still be considered somewhat plausible.

However...

Can Desolate Beads and Spirit Minerals also be used for Alchemy?
