After confirming that there was no problem with the Soul-Restoring Pill, Chen Lin was extremely surprised.
After being flatly rejected by Ji Wuming at that time, he had already given up the idea of getting rid of the Ji family. After all, the Ji family was a powerful family that could rival Master Xuanyin, and he did not have the ability to force them.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events. The recipe for the elixir that I got from the little boy with a glimmer of hope turned out to be real!
"I don't know who that kid is from the Ji family. He actually carried such a precious recipe with him. If I had known, I would have tempted him again and asked him to read that stupid book. I guess the contents recorded in it are not ordinary."
Walking on the streets of the fairy city, Chen Lin thought to himself.
Of course, he was just thinking about it. If he really did that, the Ji family would probably come to him immediately.
Since there was no problem with the pill, after finding the materials to refine it into a pill, he began to swallow and refine it.
The medicinal properties of this elixir are of the mild and slow type. First, the medicinal power must dissolve in the flesh and blood, and then it will cause some indescribable changes, producing a magical energy that can communicate between heaven and earth, thereby reaching the state like when the soul is initially formed, allowing the soul's origin to be regenerated.
The whole process is very mysterious. It not only restores the original source, but also greatly enhances Chen Lin's understanding of the soul.
He even had a new understanding of the use of the Soul-Destroying Finger, which made him very excited.
The only regret is that the effect of the Soul-Restoring Pill is not as good as expected. I guess it will take more than just a few pills to fully recover.
In the following days, Chen Lin traveled between major cities, looking for materials for alchemy and inquiring about the information of Mu Linglong and Zhao Mengru.
The three main ingredients for refining the Soul-Restoring Pill are not easy to find. Even though one pill takes about three months to be completely refined, time is still very tight for him.
Because even with his level as an alchemist, he is unable to refine the pill normally and must rely on his innate abilities. As a result, the demand for materials increases.
Even if you hit the target once in five times, it is still difficult to get the target.
In order to keep the effect of the medicine from being interrupted, he had to take out some important treasures to exchange for materials with others, and his wealth shrank rapidly.
Three years passed in a flash.
On this day, Chen Lin stopped meditating in the cave he rented, and a light flashed in his eyes.
It took three years and ten Soul-Restoring Pills to finally restore the origin of his soul, allowing him to smile for the first time in a long time.
In addition, his cultivation has been increasing all the time, and now he is not far from the great perfection of foundation building. After waiting for another year or so, he will be ready to break through to the golden elixir realm.
These two changes made him feel much better, but there was no news from Mu Linglong and Zhao Mengru, which made him very worried.
When leaving the Silver Fairy City, the Silver Fairy gave him a super long-distance communication talisman. If Mu Linglong returned to the Silver Fairy City, the other party would definitely send him a message. If there was no message, it meant that the other party had no information either.
Zhao Mengru was the same and did not return to Tianyun Immortal City, otherwise Tan Tai Yunjin would not have failed to tell him.
But he didn't have any good solution. Both of them were the kind of people who didn't have a fixed place to stay, so they could only rely on fate to find each other.
With the worry about the origin of his soul removed, Chen Lin felt relieved immediately. He began to concentrate on improving his cultivation, purchasing treasures to overcome the tribulation, and at the same time viewing beautiful scenery in various places to cultivate his mind and prepare for the impact of the golden elixir.
One year later.
The Fairy City of Dreams.
When Chen Lin came out of the teleportation array, he felt a special feeling.
The architecture here is very peculiar, and each area is an independent entity, each different from the others. It feels like walking into a hodgepodge painting.
He had heard of the fame of this city a long time ago, and when he saw it today, he found it quite interesting.
However, Chen Lin did not come here to see the scenery. He chose this city for two purposes. One was that the city lord, Wan Meng Zhenjun, was recognized as the person who had explored the demon world most deeply. He wanted to see if he could find anything or information related to the demon world here.
He doesn't want to break the connection with Niu Niu.
Although the demon world is dangerous, it can also bring huge benefits. The effect of Xiaohong's bowl of mushroom soup is still fresh in his memory. Without that bowl of mushroom soup, he doesn't know when he can break through his body refining skills to the Vajra Realm.
He also wanted to find out one more thing.
In recent years, he discovered that many large forces were secretly collecting supplies, especially some major cultivation resources, which would basically be bought as soon as they came out. However, these forces were very covert, and if he had not been purchasing materials for refining the Soul-Restoring Pill, they would not have been discovered.
After discovering the abnormality, he began to secretly inquire, but he did not find out the specific situation. He only vaguely got some information, as if something important might happen.
He couldn't just turn a blind eye to such a thing, he had to get to the bottom of it, so he came to Wanmeng Fairy City, one of the three major super cities in the southern world of immortal cultivation.
Many large forces gather here, and if there is any disturbance, they will definitely be the first to get the news.
After walking around the city for a while, Chen Lin was a little disappointed that he didn't find any store selling items from the demon world.
However, most of the local cultivators here know about the existence of the Demon Realm. Unlike the cultivators in the northern immortal world, most cultivators don't even know what the Demon Realm is.
Although he didn't find what he wanted, he was not in a hurry. The important thing now was to prepare for the golden elixir breakthrough. He could slowly search for information about the demon world.
Moreover, he had already planned to settle down in this city and had plenty of time, so he stopped wandering around and rented a cave.
In the following days, Chen Lin practiced while wandering around various stores, gathering information and secretly purchasing supplies.
Anyway, he has no shortage of spirit stones, so no matter whether anything will happen or not, he will stock up first.
Half a year passed, and Chen Lin finally heard a piece of news from a direct descendant of a super family, which shocked him greatly.
The catastrophe is coming!
According to the other party, some secretive families and large forces with a long history have been experiencing frequent strange events in various places over the past few decades, and based on speculation based on astronomical signs, a major catastrophe may occur within the next hundred years.
What is a great catastrophe
The other party did not give a specific answer, but only said that once this disaster occurs, it will definitely be a catastrophe. Even if it is not as severe as the ancient war between gods and demons, it will definitely be very tragic.
However, the major forces are unable to determine what kind of disaster it will be, in what form it will appear, and to what extent it will reach.
It is not even certain whether it will appear, this is just a guess.
However, only families or forces with a long history are good at self-preservation and will make preparations in advance at the slightest sign of trouble.
Such news left Chen Lin speechless.
It was a very turbulent time for him to pass through this place. Accidents happened one after another, and none of them could be avoided.
I have already experienced a life-and-death escape in Tianyuan Continent. Do I have to go through it again
But if the catastrophe really occurs this time, it will inevitably affect the entire world of immortal cultivation. Where can he escape to
The information he received made Chen Lin feel depressed, but he was just a foundation-building cultivator and could not change the general trend of the world. He could only try to find as many ways to save his life as possible while going with the flow.
As a result, he became more anxious to break through to the Golden Core stage. He had originally planned to hone his mind bit by bit, and then things would come naturally. But now this idea has been abandoned, and he has begun to purchase materials on a large scale.
"Shopkeeper, have you found what I want?"
Chen Lin came to a shop called Baozhenge, found the shopkeeper, and asked.
"It's Master Chen, please come in!"
When the shopkeeper saw that it was Chen Lin, he immediately smiled and invited Chen Lin to the private room inside.
Chen Lin has been providing their shop with a lot of elixirs during this period, and there are even some Jindan Zhenren who want to improve their cultivation. Such people are VIPs in any store.
"Why, judging from the shopkeeper's expression, there must be some gain!"
Seeing the other party's look, Chen Lin's eyes lit up and he asked in an expectant tone.
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Master Chen has a keen eye. He actually received a copy of what you wanted yesterday. I will go get it for you right away."
After saying that, he stood up and left, and came back a few moments later with an oversized jade box.
"This is the fire essence among the five elements. This thing is an innate seed, and it cost a huge price to obtain it."
The shopkeeper nodded slightly, then slapped himself with a talisman, and said to Chen Lin: "Master Chen, please be careful, the necessary breath is very hot, don't get burned."
After saying this, he slowly opened the jade box.
As soon as a gap appeared, a terrifying heat wave suddenly emanated from it. Even though the other party had warned him, Chen Lin was still forced back a few steps by the scorching breath. Only after activating the power of the Dharma Image did he isolate the heat wave and walk back.
A layer of light shield appeared on the shopkeeper's body, and he was not affected by the heat wave.
Then, the shopkeeper had people clear out all the flammable items in the house, and then he opened the jade box to reveal the contents.
This is a flame-shaped spirit that looks like a little man. At this moment, it is sealed by a strange talisman, but it is still struggling, as if trying to break free.
With every struggle, the temperature of the air would rise a lot, and in an instant the whole room was as hot as a furnace.
"It is indeed the fire spirit. I want this thing!" Chen Lin said happily.
Since he confirmed that he had the innate ability to refine the Seven Star Pill, and that he could use ordinary materials to increase the number of times, he decided to refine the highest level Seven Star Pill within his ability.
And this fire essence is the material used to refine the Six-Pattern Seven-Star Pill!
With this fire essence, all the five elements materials are gathered. The next step is to find materials with yin and yang attributes of corresponding levels.
Being in a good mood, Chen Lin was not stingy and took out a two-patterned seven-star pill and gave it to the other party, which made the other party smile immediately.
Perhaps because Chen Lin was generous enough, after Chen Lin put away the fire spirit, the shopkeeper suddenly asked mysteriously: "Master Chen, have you heard that the Hanhai Fairy Palace is going to open again?"
