Chen Lin just asked casually, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected result.
He controlled his emotions and said, "As a man, you shouldn't say anything careless. I don't believe your family really has a way, unless you show me one!"
"How difficult is this? Just wait!"
The little boy searched in his pocket with an air of pride, then took out a yellowed book.
He flipped through the pages a few times, and suddenly tore off one of the pages. He shook it in his hand and said, "See? There is a recipe for a pill on it that can restore the damaged soul essence. I am not lying!"
Chen Lin's eyes lit up, and he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Really? Show it to me."
Although he didn't think that the Ji family would let a child carry such an important thing, he still had some hope. If it was true, it would solve a big problem.
Unexpectedly, the little boy stiffened his neck and said, "Why should I give it to you? This is my family's property, not yours."
Chen Lin resisted the urge to snatch it and continued to seduce, "I have a lot of fun things here. As long as you show me the recipe, I'll give it to you to play with."
After saying that, he took out a monkey puppet and placed it on the ground, and began to control it to do somersaults. He then took out a crow puppet and made it fly and circle around the two of them.
The little boy curled his lips and said disdainfully: "What a childish thing this is, and it's a fake crow. I want the real crow!"
Real crow
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then he suspiciously took out the crow corpse that almost swallowed his soul, looked at the other party and said, "You want this?"
"right!"
The little boy seemed very excited and said, "This is a black crow. It tastes great when roasted. Give it to me quickly!"
Chen Lin looked at the crow's corpse, then at the little boy, and felt something was wrong.
It was obvious that he was the one who was luring the other party to trick him into giving him the method to resolve the damage to his soul's origin, but why did it feel like the other party was trying to trick him into giving him the crow's corpse
Thinking of this, he became alert and said, "I killed this crow with great difficulty. How can I give it to you easily? Show me the recipe first. If it's real, I'll trade with you."
The little boy looked very unhappy, but he still crumpled the page in his hand and threw it over.
Chen Lin caught it and opened it to check.
There is actually a pill recipe recorded on it, written in ancient characters. The name of the pill is Soul-Restoring Pill, and the ingredients used are all natural treasures for the soul, including Yinling Grass and Ghost Face Fruit.
The names of several elixirs in the recipe have been modified, and it seems that it is a recipe that has been improved based on an ancient recipe.
"I can't be sure whether this recipe is real or fake. You won't lie to me, right?"
Chen Lin memorized the contents of the recipe and said nothing.
The little boy was so angry that he gasped and said angrily: "You are a liar, you are a puppy, give me the Dark Crow quickly, are you trying to shirk your debt by taking the recipe? I am telling you, Ji Wuyu is not someone you can easily mess with!"
Chen Lin smiled, threw the corpse of the Dark Crow to the other party, and said: "Okay, then I will believe you this time, we are even, goodbye!"
After saying that, he flew towards the cave entrance that led back to the third floor.
Regardless of whether the recipe is true or false, he will give it a try. It's just a crow's corpse. Although this crow is definitely not an ordinary thing, he doesn't know its use and can't use it. It's not bad to exchange it for a better hope.
Based on his experience as an alchemy master, there is really nothing wrong with this pill recipe. It is definitely a pill for the soul.
The only thing that is uncertain is whether the damage to the essence of the soul is effective.
"Why, are you eating roasted crow again?"
As soon as Chen Lin left, Ji Wuming appeared where he had just stood, looked at the little boy and said with a smile.
"That's right!" The little boy smiled proudly and said, "That big fool wanted to deceive me, Ji Wu Yu, but I didn't expect that I could use a useless pill recipe to trick this Dark Crow back. If that guy knew the value of the Dark Crow, he would probably cry to death."
"Hahaha!"
Facing the little boy, Ji Wuming didn't look cold at all, and said with a doting look on his face: "Nothing is absolute in this world. Maybe someone will use that pill recipe to refine the Soul-Restoring Pill. If that happens, you will be the one who suffers!"
"How is that possible?" The little boy curled his lips and said, "The recipe of the elixir was changed beyond recognition by our ancestors. Even I can't make it. He can do it. If he can make it, I will worship him as my master!"
At this point, he stuffed the Dark Crow into his pocket and asked in confusion, "Brother, you killed all the people who came here to look for us before, why did you let this one go? I thought you would take action, otherwise you wouldn't have given him the pill formula to tease him. Aren't you afraid that he will leak our information?"
Ji Wuming shook his head and said, "I can't kill him. He is the disciple of Miss Yun Er. I can't afford to offend that woman. As for leaking information, there is no need to worry because our family is leaving here!"
"Leaving, why?"
The little boy asked doubtfully.
Ji Wuming looked at the rock wall above him and said with a strange expression: "Because the catastrophe is about to happen, we have to go back to the place where our family is passed down and wait for the catastrophe..."
Chen Lin didn't know what happened after he left, because there was still a big enemy there. After returning to the third floor, he didn't dare to stop. He went straight back to the ground, and then mixed in with other groups of adventurous monks and left the wilderness.
The process went smoothly. He did not return to Xiongji City, but entered the southern world of immortal cultivation from another medium-sized city called Huayu City.
Then, he collected materials in the city. Since the materials used in the pill recipe were not too advanced, he quickly collected enough.
He had already obtained a lot of elixirs in the underground space of Wanhun Ridge. The storage bag of Princess Hanhua was also rich in materials, including several copies of the three rare main medicines, which saved him a lot of trouble.
When he had gathered all the materials, he started to refine the elixir and test the authenticity of the recipe.
"Is this a success?"
Chen Lin stood in front of the alchemy furnace, looking at a round pill with a black luster in the furnace, his eyes lit up.
If the pill can be formed, it means the pill recipe is real.
With a look of joy on his face, he took the pill into his hand and examined it carefully.
Both the pill patterns and the hidden energy fluctuations are exactly the same as those described in the pill recipe, and they are condensed through innate abilities, so the quality is guaranteed.
Now it depends on whether the pill made with this recipe can actually produce the Soul-Restoring Pill!
Since this is a matter concerning the soul, Chen Lin dare not be careless. He must test it to be correct before he can use it himself. Moreover, he cannot use animals, but only cultivators.
After all, the souls of non-human creatures are different from those of humans. There are differences between ordinary people and cultivators. Even the Qi-cultivating cultivators and the foundation-building cultivators are different, because when building the foundation, both the body and the soul are sublimated.
So he wanted to find a foundation-building cultivator to conduct experiments.
It took three full months, and after traveling to several cities, while collecting materials and searching, I finally found a satisfactory object.
This was a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, with a cultivation level comparable to his own. He was also over a hundred years old and had the same four spiritual roots. He specialized in dual-attribute techniques of fire and wood.
In order to obtain accurate test results, he did not use tough measures to force the other party, but instead used a two-patterned seven-star pill as a price to make the other party voluntarily agree to try the medicine.
The gap between the rich and the poor among the cultivators is even greater than that among ordinary people. Chen Lin simply disdains elixirs of the same level as the Two-Lined Seven-Star Pill, and he won't even use the Three-Lined Pill.
But for ordinary foundation-building cultivators, such a pill is an elixir of immortality, the hope for longevity, and a guiding light for the great road. Not to mention testing medicine for an alchemy master, they would be happy to do so even if it meant going through fire and water.
The other party even thought that this was a great opportunity, and was afraid that he would look for someone else, so he took the initiative to propose signing a soul contract.
This man is called Duan Hongyan. Although he is over a hundred years old, he does not look old. He has also practiced some body-building techniques and has a strong body.
After signing the soul contract, Chen Lin no longer needed to use other means of restraint. He rented a high-end cave in the city and began to prepare for the experiment.
"Fellow Daoist Duan, this pill will be of great use to me, so I need you to tell me in detail all your feelings after taking the pill, and I need to observe for half a year. During this period, you cannot leave me, and I cannot guarantee that there will be no accidents, so you need to deal with anything in advance."
Although he had reminded him several times before, Chen Lin still asked again for the last time.
"Don't worry, Master Chen. I'm alone and have no ties. Not to mention observing for half a year, even a year or two would be no problem."
Duan Hongyan spoke with a smile, as if he didn't care about the unknown danger at all.
Seeing this, Chen Lin nodded with satisfaction, then took out the pill and handed it to the other party. The other party did not hesitate and swallowed it directly into his mouth.
In the following period, Chen Lin questioned Duan Hongyan every day and took notes.
Duan Hongyan was also very cooperative. Sometimes, without Chen Lin asking, he would take the initiative to tell Chen Lin about some changes that might be caused by the elixir, and make various speculations with Chen Lin.
A month passed like this, and Chen Lin began to provide the other party with other elixirs, testing whether the medicinal properties of this elixir would conflict with the other elixir when used by the other party. He even tested the elixirs for body refining techniques.
Time flies, and half a year has passed leisurely.
On this day, Chen Lin finished his last record, took out a pill bottle and said to Duan Hongyan: "Thank you for your cooperation for so long, Daoist Fellow Duan. After testing, this pill is indeed similar to what I want. The agreement between you and me ends today. This is the two-pattern seven-star pill. You keep it well. I wish Daoist Fellow the golden pill great success!"
Duan Hongyan took out the pill bottle with excitement, opened it and took a look, and said, "Thank you very much, Master Chen. However, there may be omissions in the inspection during the past six months. How about monitoring it for another year or so?"
Chen Lin's face darkened and he shook his head, "That's not necessary. I have something important to do and can't delay any longer. If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will meet again."
Seeing his firm attitude, Duan Hongyan packed up his personal belongings reluctantly and left the cave.
With the supply of elixirs from Chen Lin over the past six months, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. If he could continue practicing for another year or so, he would probably be able to reach the great perfection of foundation building. It's no wonder that he left reluctantly.
After the other party left, Chen Lin did not stay any longer. After closing the cave, he went to other fairy cities through the teleportation array.
