As soon as Chen Lin left, a hunchbacked old man came out from behind the house.
When the woman saw the old man coming out, she immediately said with a strange look on her face, "It's just as you said. This person came back to ask for information about the Enlightenment Pill. Could it be that he really made the pill according to your recipe? That's unlikely, isn't it?"
The old man smiled.
He said calmly: "Nothing is impossible. This person not only refined it, but also refined more than one."
"What!"
The woman was shocked.
"Isn't your recipe a simplified version of Elder He's improved recipe? It's only theoretically feasible. Even you can't make it, but he, a casual cultivator, did it. Could he be a hidden master of alchemy?"
"Master of Alchemy?"
The old man chuckled coldly.
"The master of alchemy cannot refine the elixir formula that Elder He created with his unique Qiyun alchemy technique. To succeed in refining it, one must be a person of great luck!"
The woman knitted her eyebrows together, "Great luck? How much luck can a casual cultivator who is only at the fourth level of Qi training at the age of forty have?"
The old man's mouth twitched as he was choked. He shook his head and said, "He was indeed a down-and-out casual cultivator before, but he has changed a lot recently, as if he has become a different person."
"You mean, he was possessed by someone!"
The woman exclaimed.
"I don't know whether he took over Zhao Zhengyuan's body or not, but there must be changes. This person is very cautious. If he hadn't sold the formula of the Chu Yuan Dan that I used to test Zhao Zhengyuan to him, and I had sensed the fluctuations of the pill, I really wouldn't have noticed it."
After a pause, he affirmed, "These two pill recipes were both made by Elder He. Whether or not they can be made into pills depends entirely on luck. If they succeeded once, it could be considered a coincidence. But if both pills were successfully made, and more than once, then it is no longer a coincidence."
The woman nodded.
"So you mean, let him try?"
"Um."
The old man also nodded.
"That thing will take shape soon. If we can't cut the red thread and escape from here, everything will be over. We can't wait any longer."
The woman was still a little hesitant and frowned, "Can we really cut off the red line by entering the foundation-building stage? Once the Blood Demon Pill is used, there will be no way back, right?"
The old man laughed bitterly, "There is no way out. It's just our bad luck that we encountered such a powerful monster. Fortunately, it hasn't taken shape yet."
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately spoke apologetically: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked my senior brother to help me track down the whereabouts of the traitor, I wouldn't be trapped here."
The old man smiled and said, "Why say that? To be honest, I have to thank this weird thing. If it weren't for this thing, how could I have the opportunity to be alone with you!"
Then, he said with a serious look: "After building the foundation, it is definitely possible to cut off the red line. I have already mastered the method. The heads of the Zhang and Han families are using this secret technique. They are ready to leave the city with the core disciples of the family."
The woman was stunned.
"Really? No wonder the people from these two families didn't panic. It turns out that the two family heads were not missing, but found a way to leave."
The old man nodded and said, "Well, not only their two families, but the other three families may also be preparing to leave. However, in order not to attract weird attention, I'm afraid they dare not take too many people with them."
After that, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that the five major families are too exclusive, and we are from the Black Demon Sect, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome to get two places to leave from them. Now, it depends on whether this fellow Daoist Chen can give me a surprise!"
…
Chen Lin removed his disguise and returned to his residence, holding a rabbit cage in his hand.
Before entering the house, he took a look at Zhao Zhengyuan's residence, hesitated for a moment, and walked over.
I knocked on the door, but got no response.
"Brother Zhao, let's stew the rabbit tonight. Let's drink together!"
He yelled at the top of his lungs.
Still no response.
Chen Lin frowned. He hadn't seen the other person for a long time. He didn't know if it was because he was in seclusion or because the other person had never come back.
At this moment, the window opposite was pushed open, and the head of a sallow-faced female cultivator popped out.
"No need to shout. That guy hasn't been back for half a month. Do you want me to drink with you?"
Haven’t been back for more than half a month
Chen Lin couldn't help but have a bad feeling.
There were monsters causing trouble some time ago, I hope they are not in any danger!
Unfortunately, even if something really happened, he couldn't help and could only pray for the other person silently.
Ignoring the female cultivator, Chen Lin went straight back to his room, causing the female cultivator to curse him again.
He just turned a deaf ear to it.
After putting the rabbit cage in place, he couldn't wait to take out the box of pills, took out the pills, carefully scraped some powder off it, and then mixed it with water and fed it to the rabbit.
Then just observe quietly.
While observing, he took out the weapon refining book and looked at it.
In the entire book, all other pages have been destroyed, and only a few pages in the middle can still barely make out some things.
There are six pages in total, recording the production methods of two magical instruments.
Although they are called magical weapons, they are not ordinary flying swords, shields, etc., but two very unconventional items.
One is called the Purple Light Bottle, which according to records is a special container used to hold a liquid called Purple Gold Colored Glaze Liquid.
Chen Lin had never heard of what Purple Gold Glazed Liquid was, so naturally he didn't know how to refine it.
What he was interested in was a different kind.
Thunderbolt beads!
Turning to the page of Thunderbolt Pearl, he pondered over it again and again, and took out pen and ink to complete the missing words according to common understanding.
After working for a long time, he finally nodded in satisfaction.
There isn't much text missing on the production method of this thing, and they are only unimportant parts. After his careful consideration and supplementation, there should be no problem.
The function of this thing is similar to the bomb in the previous life. It does not require any magic power to activate and will explode immediately when thrown out.
The disadvantage is that it's not very powerful.
The explosion principle of this thing is very different from the bombs in the previous life. It does not use explosives, but is made of several materials that repel each other and have unstable internal structures.
During the production process, a formation is used to keep several materials in a balanced state. After being activated, the balance of the formation is broken and an explosion occurs.
Based on the power effects recorded in the book, Chen Lin felt that it should be similar to a grenade.
How it really works remains to be tested.
But even if it reaches the level of a grenade, its deterrent effect on monks is not too strong.
It's OK to deal with those in the early stage of Qi training. When reaching the middle stage of Qi training, not only is one's physical fitness strengthened, but one can also cast shield spells, which can easily resist the lethality caused by the explosion.
Not every cultivator finds it as difficult to practice magic as he does.
If that's the case, why would he buy it back
This is mainly because the classics mentioned that this item is difficult to refine and the success rate is very low. He now likes all items with low success rates. After all, only by refining this kind of items can the importance of his innate ability be reflected.
Feeling of accomplishment.
Another point is that the raw materials are really cheap.
Even if you refine one in ten times, you won’t need more than two spirit stones.
And one isn’t powerful enough, so what about ten
What about one hundred
So, it cannot be said that it is completely useless.
He doesn't have any means of attack now, so with this thing, he can gain an extra power to protect himself.
