Chapter 138: Lu Jin: Are You Even Human?

Lin Xuan's face darkened; his figure appeared beside the Pill, and with a wave of his hand, the completed Pill was tucked into his sleeve.

The Dragon-Tiger phantom, which had been calling out heartily, vanished instantly.

Lin Xuan lowered his head, the spreading pill fire contracting and being retracted by him in a flash.

And within the dissipating thunderclouds.

Chains composed of golden Runes, invisible to the naked eye, emerged and then immediately disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan's eyes flickered, and then his body plummeted downward.

Golden light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at Longhu Mountain.

The golden light vanished, and Lin Xuan was already standing before Lao Tianshi and the others.

Looking at the way Lin Xuan appeared, then looking at the situation above their heads.

"It's done?"

Lao Tianshi's tone was somewhat inexplicable.

"Mm, it's done!"

Lin Xuan nodded.

"Impressive!" Lao Tianshi praised.

"It's alright!" Lin Xuan's expression was indifferent.

"What kind of riddles are you two speaking in? Is it the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core of Longhu Mountain? You actually know how to make this?"

Lu Jin watched Lin Xuan and Lao Tianshi singing in harmony, was instantly speechless, and asked directly.

"Lu Lao, it is indeed the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core; this time, it can be considered good luck!"

"For you, isn't having good luck quite normal!"

Lu Jin immediately gave an answer upon hearing this.

"That's true!"

Lin Xuan nodded; there was no flaw in that statement.

"What are the effects?"

Lu Jin's curiosity was clearly overflowing.

To cause such a massive commotion, this thing was definitely extraordinary.

"I don't know!"

Lin Xuan shook his head, then saw that Lu Jin and Lao Tianshi clearly didn't believe him.

"Speak, there are no outsiders here!"

Fang Dong said.

"Grandmaster, I really don't know. Actually, even Longhu Mountain itself doesn't know the specific effects of the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core, and it's the same on my end.

This pill should be different from the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core, but it shouldn't be a problem to help you form your Inner Core."

So that was the "don't know" he meant.

Is it different from the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core?

Lao Tianshi nodded.

"I'll pass; it would be a waste to eat it!"

Fang Dongtian hesitated upon hearing this, then shook his head.

If it were any other Outer Elixir, he wouldn't mind trying it.

But after the scene just now, he knew that what Lin Xuan had produced this time was definitely not ordinary.

This made him hesitate.

"I don't have much time left to live anyway!"

"It's precisely because of that that you must eat it. After all, in our Baiyun Guan, besides me, you are the most powerful; you are our pillar.

Oh, wait, that's excluding Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing!"

Lin Xuan was speechless upon hearing this.

I spent so much effort—well, it wasn't that much effort.

I specifically made this, and you're actually complaining it's a waste and won't eat it.

Doesn't that mean I worked for nothing?

"Alright, Old Fang, stop being pretentious; it's meaningless!"

Lu Jin glared at Fang Dongtian.

"If you don't want it, I'll take it. Whatever you fancy in my Lu family, just name it."

Lu Jin waved his hand directly, appearing very generous.

"Don't you dare!"

Fang Dongtian jumped up the moment he heard that.

When arguing, one couldn't tell he was weak, frail, or near death.

"However, it's not appropriate to do it on Longhu Mountain. Let's wait until the Heaven Grand Ritual ends and go back to White Cloud Temple to discuss it."

Lin Xuan was thinking that it would be bad if Fang Dongtian caused this kind of commotion again while condensing his Inner Core.

Since things had reached this point, Fang Dongtian naturally couldn't refuse anymore.

Actually, what he was thinking was that if it could be saved, it would be even more appropriate if another genius disciple appeared in Baiyun Guan in the future.

"Regarding this matter, the Company will definitely ask about it, but my meaning is, it's best not to reveal the news of the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core to the Company."

Lao Tianshi spoke suddenly, his expression becoming serious.

These words were spoken to Lin Xuan, as well as to Lu Jin and Fang Dong.

"That is the logic!"

Lu Jin nodded upon hearing this; he naturally understood this meaning.

Lin Xuan cultivating into a Nidan Fa master himself is something no one can manage.

Nor would anyone harbor any ulterior motives.

After all, Nidan Fa is right there; not only in Baiyun Guan, but even within the Quanzhen lineage, and even those not of the Quanzhen lineage, there are people who know it.

It cannot be considered very rare.

Being able to cultivate into a Nidan is your own ability; failing to do so means your aptitude is insufficient.

But this Pill this time, according to Lin Xuan's account, can help people condense a Nidan.

After all, in legend, the Ancestral Tianshi took one and ascended.

Although he became a Tianshi, the Ancestral Tianshi's cultivation at the time was certainly very high.

But one pill leading to Ascension shows that the Pill has immense assistance, turning the impossible into the possible.

If this news were to spread, the chaos it would stir up might be even greater than the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

As for the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, not many people have truly seen them, and even most of those who know of them only know a name.

They know it is very powerful, but they are not clear on exactly how powerful.

But a Nidan master can be called a Land Immortal.

These are not even things on the same level.

"Senior brother, that may be so, but surely someone will be able to guess; after all, the dragon and tiger manifestation was too obvious."

Tian Jinzhong reminded him.

"Guessing is one thing, as long as it cannot be confirmed, it is fine; however, old Fang, if you really break through to Nidan, do not expose it.

No, even if you have extended your life, you must not expose it."

"I, this old Daoist, know what I am doing; I am not truly senile."

Fang Dongtian said immediately upon hearing this.

"That is good, let's go, let's talk somewhere else!"

Lao Tianshi looked at the house with a large hole broken in it, the wall having also collapsed somewhat, waved his hand, and was the first to push Tian Jinzhong away.

Before long, at Lao Tianshi's residence.

"This is the recipe for the Pill I refined myself, though it is unlikely to be replicated; if Longhu Mountain has any ideas, you can use it for reference."

Reference my foot!

Lao Tianshi's expression was strange.

Tian Jinzhong's eyes were wide open, with bloodshot veins in them.

Lu Jin looked pained, then looked at Fang Dongtian.

"You old boy, at the very end, you actually wasted so many treasures."

According to Lin Xuan's account, seven portions over a thousand years old, and twenty-four portions over five hundred years old.

Hearing this, even Lao Tianshi could not help but swallow his saliva.

He truly could not help it.

Even someone with a steady state of mind could not remain steady upon hearing this.

"Oh, this does not even count what I wasted during experiments; it is probably about four times that amount."

Seeing the expressions of the few old men, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and said in a very relaxed tone.

"Spendthrift!"

Lu Jin widened his eyes as he looked at Lin Xuan, unable to stop himself from blurting it out.

"Mm-hmm!"

Lao Tianshi and Tian Jinzhong nodded in agreement.

A rare moment of unified opinion.

Lin Xuan opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and decided not to get upset with the few old men.

"I know it is not hard for you to find these, but after all, every one used is one less."

Fang Dongtian also felt his teeth ache with pain as he listened.

"This is just this once; even if you want to try again next time, it will take time to accumulate, or you will have to go out and find them yourself, though that is quite strenuous."

Don't look at how lightly Lin Xuan spoke before; these things are truly rare. For him to gather them, he would likely have to travel to many places, or use time to accumulate them.

"Look at you, is what you are saying human language?"

Seeing Lin Xuan say this, Lu Jin raised his finger to point at Lin Xuan, then looked at Lao Tianshi.

"Why look at me? I didn't say anything."

Lao Tianshi spread his hands, his tone quite helpless.

"I am asking you, Tianshi, to judge this!"

"What qualifications do I have?"
