Chen Lin was very depressed because he knew that he was a liar and still got cheated out of twenty spirit stones by the other party.
It’s all because he has poor aptitude and cannot learn even the lowest level of the technique to drive away objects. Otherwise, he would not have been blinded by the recipe for the enlightenment pill.
Standing in the cold wind, he casually opened the scroll.
"Huh?"
Chen Lin exclaimed in surprise.
He thought it would be a blank piece of paper, or something scribbled on it, but it was not what he expected.
Not only were there words on the paper, but they were densely packed all over the paper.
And they are not ordinary characters, but rare ancient characters!
The original owner was also from a small cultivation family and had dabbled in this kind of ancient cultivation writing, so he could barely recognize it.
Three drops of spiritual grass juice, two coins of blue light spiral stone powder, one three-shiitake mushroom, three drops of wood attribute spiritual beast blood...
After reading it carefully, Chen Lin showed a look of doubt on his face.
It first listed some material names, then spelled out each step of the refining method, and even some precautions. It looked like a real pill recipe.
"Could it be that this recipe is real?"
For a moment, Chen Lin became a little uncertain.
Although he didn't believe that he could buy a real pill recipe for twenty spirit stones, he still gritted his teeth in the hope of getting lucky and turned to walk towards a shop.
It's like when a lottery buyer always thinks he or she will win the jackpot, always thinking that he or she will be the special case.
After a while, Chen Lin walked out of the shop with a strange look on his face.
The ingredients in the recipe can actually be bought, and at a very low price.
The main thing is that the amount of materials used in the pill recipe is extremely small. Take the juice of spiritual herbs for example. One bottle costs twenty spirit stones, but there are dozens of drops in a bottle, so three drops can be ignored.
He estimated that all the ingredients on the recipe could be purchased for about twenty spirit stones.
It’s really a bargain!
But how could such cheap materials be used to refine enlightenment pills
No matter how much Chen Lin felt that he was the destined protagonist, he couldn't believe it was true.
Laughing at himself, he shook his head and walked outside.
Just as he walked out of the exit of the market town, he stopped again.
"How about giving it a try?"
"It won't take that many spirit stones anyway."
"That person also swore an oath to the inner demon."
“If it succeeds, the rewards will be huge.”
"If I don't give it a try, the spiritual stones I spent on the recipe will really be wasted!"
Chen Lin, who had just warned himself not to gamble or take drugs, became addicted to gambling again.
After a long time, he walked out of a shop with a bulging backpack.
The materials for the pill recipe have been basically purchased, except for one auxiliary ingredient called eight-section root.
However, this medicinal material is not a scarce thing. You can buy it by going to a few shops, and it is even sold on street stalls.
Sure enough, after walking around for a short distance, I found this item on a street stall.
He only spent two spirit stones and bought more than a dozen.
Now that all the materials were ready, Chen Lin was in no hurry to leave. He had finally come to the inner city, so he might as well take a look around and buy some reserve resources.
The reward for refining the Soul-Binding Talisman filled his wallet, and after deducting his previous expenses, he still had a lot left.
In fact, he is still a little puzzled by the generosity of the rich second generation of the Lu family. After all, fifty mid-grade spirit stones are a huge sum of money.
The other party obviously could have refused to give him the money, or even killed him to silence him, but he not only gave him the money, but also let him go first, eliminating his worries.
It didn't seem like he was being followed either.
Such an upright and generous monk is so rare.
But despite his doubts, it did not affect his consumption at all.
Anyway, he had changed his appearance at the beginning. No matter whether the other party had other purposes or not, he can't be found now.
"Huh?"
When browsing through an inconspicuous stall, Chen Lin couldn't help but stop and look at a book on the stall.
The stall owner was a thin and pale-faced female cultivator. Judging from her appearance, she was approximately 20 to 30 years old, and her cultivation level was at the second level of Qi training.
There were only a few items on the stall, and none of them looked very good.
As soon as Chen Lin saw her, he knew that this female cultivator must be from the slums outside. She would not look so malnourished if she lived in the inner city.
“How does this book sell?”
Squatting in front of the stall, Chen Lin picked up the book.
The book was very thick, but unfortunately it was in tatters and full of holes caused by insects.
Only half of the cover was left, and one could barely make out the two ancient characters about refining equipment.
It was because of these two words that made him stop.
Since you have the talent to hit the target ten times, you cannot limit yourself to alchemy and talisman making. You should try all the skills related to alchemy, otherwise it would be a serious waste.
"Ah, fellow Daoist, do you want to buy this? This is a weapon refining manual, a treasure passed down from my ancestors. If you want it, give it to me. Just give me thirty spirit stones."
The female monk was drowsy, but when she heard someone asking the price, her eyes suddenly lit up and she blurted out:
"It's inherited from my ancestors. Haha, is Daoist friend from a family of weapon refiners?"
Chen Lin curled his lips and didn't believe the other party's nonsense at all. If he was really a child of a noble family, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.
Even if it is true, he is a fake like Zhao Zhengyuan.
Unexpectedly, after being questioned, the female cultivator became anxious and said angrily, "We are originally from a family of weapon refiners. Why, don't I look like one?"
"It looks like it, very much like it. But my friend, your family heirloom has not been well preserved. Look at this page, there is basically nothing good about it. Since it is a family heirloom, there must be a backup. Why don't you take a new one and take a look?"
Forehead.
The female cultivator was stuck now, her face turning red.
"I only have this one. You can take it or not. However, this is not an ordinary book. It contains the methods of refining rare treasures. If I were not in urgent need of spiritual stones, I would not sell it to you no matter how much money you offer."
After being choked, the female cultivator immediately became aggressive again.
None of the female cultivators who could survive in the shantytowns were good people. Chen Lin was too lazy to argue with them and continued to flip through the books carefully, fearing that he would drop a page and be blackmailed.
After flipping through every page, he put the book down with a look of disappointment and shook his head.
"Why, fellow Daoist, you don't want it? If you do, the price can be negotiated."
Seeing Chen Lin standing up, the female cultivator spoke anxiously.
"Almost all the pages of your book are missing, and the handwriting is blurred. Not to mention it's a low-level weapon refining book, even if it's a secret book of divine skills, it's useless!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing that Chen Lin was really going to leave, the female cultivator immediately stood up.
Chen Lin turned around, looking somewhat displeased.
"Why, fellow Daoist, are you still trying to force the sale? This is not the outer city, but the law enforcement teams of the five major families are here."
The female cultivator waved her hands after hearing this, "No, no, I just want to ask you, if it's cheaper, will you buy it? Besides, not all the content in this book is missing. There are still some general information about the refining of several magic tools."
Chen Lin laughed, shook his head and said, "Since you come from a family of weapon refiners, you should know that no matter it is refining pills, refining talismans or weapon refining methods, the content must be precise and not a single word can be wrong. As the saying goes, a slight error can lead to a great error. This kind of thing does not allow for approximations!"
The female cultivator smiled awkwardly and was speechless.
What Chen Lin said was absolutely right, otherwise this treasure in her bottom of the box would not have remained unsold. This time she came to the inner city just to try her luck. If she didn't have any income, she would have to go on adventures in the wild.
Seeing that the female cultivator had lost her temper, Chen Lin suddenly changed the subject and said, "Well, I see that you don't seem to be living a happy life. We are all people with bad luck. I will buy this book, but I can only give you ten spirit stones."
He originally wanted to say five dollars, but he was afraid that the other party would get angry and embarrassed, so he gave a price that would definitely make the other party buy it.
Although this book was badly damaged as he said, it did contain the methods of refining two magical instruments, and he wanted to try and see if he could refine them with his own innate abilities.
If it can be refined, it would be a great bargain!
