After breaking through the foundation, his innate abilities doubled.
From hitting the target ten times, it has become hitting the target five times!
The innate ability can also be upgraded along with the realm, which makes Chen Lin surprised.
When he discovered this, he jumped and danced with joy like a child.
He was excited not only because of the improvement from 1 in 10 to 2 in 10, but also because of the growth potential.
Since a breakthrough in foundation building can double the amount, can a breakthrough in golden elixir double it again
What about Nascent Soul and higher realms
In the end, is it possible to hit the target once for sure
Even the capabilities have been extended and are no longer limited to making items.
Practicing magic skills, breaking through realms, even pursuing beauties, cursing enemies, etc. can all be covered by innate abilities. Just thinking about that scene is exciting.
Chen Lin's imagination ran wild, but he immediately brought his thoughts back to reality.
These are all things for the future. No matter how good your talents are, you still have to work hard, otherwise it will be in vain.
In addition, even if you have broken through the foundation now, you cannot be arrogant, and the principle of keeping a low profile cannot be changed.
Just as he was thinking about it, two apprentices finished cleaning the house and yard and came to him.
"Sun Yuner, Sun Xingwang, meet the Master!"
Both of them felt very embarrassed and lowered their heads, not daring to look Chen Lin in the eye.
Chen Lin looked at the two of them and said, "Don't be restrained. Although you two were assigned to me by the alliance, if you can catch my eye in the future, it is not impossible for me to accept you as my disciples. I don't have any rules. As long as you are quiet and don't disturb me, it will be fine."
Chen Lin said a few words to comfort her.
These two are siblings, and they have some connection with him. They are the orphans of Qingyang Sect and the family of Sun Xingyun who asked him to exorcise the demon.
According to Mu Xingchen, the entire Sun family was slaughtered by the people of the Qishen Sect, and only these two siblings survived. As the Qingyang Sect retreated to the territory of Chu, they were assigned here.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Lin also sighed.
Thinking back to how prosperous the Sun family was in the past, they occupied a mountain alone, with sacred trees as the scenery and jade stones as the roads, and the clan members were looked up to wherever they went.
I didn't expect it to end up like this.
If it weren't for Mu Xingchen's care, these two people would have been out on a demon-hunting mission by now.
The world of cultivating immortals is so cruel, even more cruel than the mortal world.
For example, in this great war between monks, although the mortals were also disturbed, they were still able to survive.
The actions of the Qishen Cult tend to be evil, but they have not carried out large-scale sacrifices on mortals, at least not yet.
Moreover, I heard that the Qishen Sect has some mysterious methods that can not only allow mortals without spiritual roots to practice, but also allow those who are stuck at a bottleneck and unable to break through, and whose lifespans are about to run out, to break through.
Especially at the foundation-building stage, many old cultivators who had reached the ninth level of Qi training and had come over to join them succeeded in building their foundation through this method.
This is also one of the reasons why a large number of monks would join the Qishen Sect.
Chen Lin has always been worried whether the Righteous Alliance can defeat the Qishen Sect. After all, the other party's methods are too mysterious.
The fact that it could force cultivators to build their foundations almost caused the world of immortal cultivation to collapse back then.
A large number of Qi-cultivating monks who had no hope of promotion and could not obtain resources had the idea of joining the Qishen Sect. Later, the major sects took out their reserve resources, refined a large number of foundation-building pills, and distributed them in exchange for merit, which put an end to the turmoil.
Until now, refining the foundation-building pill is still the most important thing for the Righteous Alliance.
Mu Xingchen has achieved his current status because he has improved the recipe of the Foundation Establishment Pill several times and reduced the refining materials to an extremely low level.
Distracted.
After thinking so much, Chen Lin turned his attention back to his two disciples.
If the sky falls, there will be a tall man to hold it up. For the time being, it seems that the Righteous Alliance can still hold on. What he needs to do is to improve his strength as soon as possible.
"How old are you two? What's your level of cultivation? Introduce yourselves."
Since you are a master, even if it is just a title, you still need to understand it.
"Master, my name is Sun Yuner, I am nineteen years old, I am at the fourth level of Qi training, and I have dual spiritual roots of fire and wood."
The elder sister introduced him first, which surprised Chen Lin. She actually had dual spiritual roots. In peacetime, this would be a very popular person.
Moreover, she had already reached the fourth level of Qi training at the age of eighteen, which was also quite amazing. It was estimated that the Sun family had allocated a lot of resources to her.
Unfortunately, we encountered troubled times.
In the alliance, although spiritual roots are still important, there are not so many opportunities for growth. If you don’t complete tasks, you won’t get merit, and you won’t be able to exchange them for cultivation resources, no matter how good your qualifications are.
"My name is Sun Xingwang, I'm seventeen years old, I'm at the second level of Qi training, and I have three spiritual roots: gold, fire, and earth."
The younger brother was also introduced, and he was much worse than his sister.
Chen Lin nodded and said, "I want to make it clear to you that you are only my alchemy apprentices now. I can only teach you some knowledge about alchemy. You have to rely on yourselves to practice. In addition, you two live in the ear room and are not allowed to enter the place where I practice. Otherwise, you will be severely punished."
"Yes, we understand."
The two siblings answered at the same time.
Chen Lin was very satisfied with their attitude. He took out the "Alchemy Notes" he got from Ma Yu from his storage bag and handed it to his sister.
I heard from Master Mu that the two of you have never been exposed to alchemy, so take this manual and read it first. I will take the time to guide you every few days. If there is anything you don’t understand, come and ask me. Go ahead!
The brother and sister were very excited. After expressing their gratitude, they took the alchemy records and went to the ear room.
In addition to the main house, there are two side rooms in the yard, just enough for two people each.
A large number of cultivators are concentrated together, and housing resources in the city are tight. The reason he can get such a small courtyard, in addition to his identity as an alchemist in the Foundation Establishment Stage, is also due to Mu Xingchen's face. Even for this, he still has to pay a certain amount of merit points every month.
The two sisters stayed in Dange District because of Mu Xingchen's relationship. They were unable to obtain residency rights and could only live with him. This was also the reason why Mu Xingchen asked them to be apprentices.
There are human relationships everywhere.
Although it was inconvenient, Chen Lin had no choice but to agree.
After sending the two siblings away, Chen Lin packed up and walked out of the yard.
He first walked around Dan Pavilion to familiarize himself with the environment, then went to other places in the city, and even went to the Golden Phoenix Tower and the place where he used to live.
However, the Golden Phoenix Tower has now become the base of a certain sect, and the place where he once lived has become the residence of the alliance monks.
Things are different and people have changed.
After watching for a while, Chen Lin lost interest.
Then he went to take another look at the mission hall.
There are several mission halls in the city. In addition to the missions assigned by the alliance, monks can also come here to take on missions and earn merits.
Because the alliance does not allow the transfer of merits, those who want to obtain merits can only earn them themselves, so there are many people in the task hall.
Chen Lin had no intention of accepting the mission. If he wanted to accept one, he would go to the exclusive mission hall of Dan Pavilion. Most of the missions here were demon-killing missions.
He just wanted to feel the atmosphere.
When he arrived at the task release board, he was surprised.
It wasn't just demon-killing missions as he had imagined, there were many other missions as well.
For example, looking for independent cultivators who are outside the control of the alliance, providing them with alchemy recipes that the alliance does not have, methods of making talismans, refining techniques, etc.
There are more spiritual medicine tasks, which require collecting various spiritual medicines, with no limit on quantity, and the merits are not low.
There are also some urgent tasks, which require you to find a specific material or item, and the merits given are higher.
This set of rules was basically similar to the sect's rules. After watching for a while, Chen Lin left.
Then, he returned to the Dan Pavilion area and came to the mission hall here.
The tasks here are simple and straightforward. They all involve refining various elixirs, with the Foundation Establishment Pill being at the top of the list.
However, this task has rewards and penalties. If one is refined from one hundred pieces of materials, 50 merits will be awarded. If one more piece is refined, 500 merits will be added.
On the contrary, if the consumed materials exceed one hundred and the elixir has not been refined, five merits will be deducted for each excess amount. If the merits are insufficient, they can be offset with spirit stones, one merit for one mid-grade spirit stone!
This is still a task with a gambling nature.
Not only that, Chen Lin discovered that most elixirs have consumable restrictions. The higher the success rate, the more merits you will get. If the success rate is too low, there will be penalties.
On second thought, it is normal, so that no one can use the alliance's materials to practice. If there are no restrictions, no matter how much materials there are, they will not be enough to waste.
Fortunately, his innate ability was upgraded to a five-hit target. If it was still a ten-hit target, he wouldn't be able to take on most alchemy tasks. He could only take on Foundation Establishment Pills and Marrow Cleansing Pills, which had a very low success rate, or the kinds of Qi training pills he knew before.
He can no longer use the Qi training stage pills. With such a good opportunity, he cannot just earn merits. He must find a way to master more pill recipes used in the foundation building stage.
After looking for a while, he chose three.
One is called Qingshuang Pill, which is suitable for use in the initial stage of foundation building, and can produce up to three pills in one furnace.
One is Luo Bitan, which can be used in the early and middle stages of foundation building. The materials are slightly expensive, and a furnace can produce a maximum of three pills.
There is not much reason to choose these two, it’s just because they can produce three pills in one furnace, which is conducive to the development of his innate abilities.
In addition to these two, there is another one that can restore spiritual power, called the Great Spiritual Pill. Only one pill can be produced in one furnace, but it is very effective in restoring spiritual power and should be mastered.
After being selected, Chen Lin came to the reception desk, handed over his identity token, reported the name of the recipe, and asked to receive the materials.
“It turned out to be Master Lin Dan!”
The receptionist was a sweet female cultivator in the late stage of Qi training. When she smiled, her eyes looked like crescent moons, but what she said left Chen Lin speechless.
"Master Lin, you just joined the Dan Pavilion, so you may not know that the recipes for the alchemy tasks selected by the alchemist are not given for free. They need to be exchanged for merits. Your merit balance is insufficient."
It turns out I still need to redeem it, so I was happy for nothing.
Chen Lin said depressedly: "Is there nothing that doesn't require merit to exchange? What about the Qi training period pill recipe? Do I have to exchange it too?"
The receptionist nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Senior Lin, except for the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill, all recipes need to be exchanged for merits."
"Then give me a recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill and 500 ingredients!"
Now he has no merits, so he can only refine the foundation-building pill. As long as he hands it in with a reasonable success rate, it will not arouse any suspicion and can also demonstrate his value.
