Chen Lin put the storage bag on the table and took out each item one by one to check.
When he got an alchemy furnace, he couldn't help but show a look of reminiscence. It was this alchemy furnace that made him envious at the beginning, and he used it to refine the Blood Demon Pill, which enabled Yu Yuehai to break through the foundation.
It was precisely because the other party became a foundation-building cultivator with the help of the Blood Demon Pill that he was able to cut the red line and take him away from Yuancheng. Otherwise, he would not be able to leave on his own.
So strictly speaking, the other party indirectly saved his life, but of course he couldn't appreciate it.
Putting the alchemy furnace into his storage bag, Chen Lin continued to check it.
There were quite a lot of things in the other party's storage bag, and they were very diverse. It was obvious that he had killed many people and robbed treasures over the years.
He even suspected that Zhao Zhengyuan was the target that the other party had long selected for possession, which was why he used the Blood Demon Pill without any scruples.
First use the Blood Demon Pill to build the foundation, then leave Kaiyuan City, and plan to let the people from the five major families deal with the monsters, obtain the monster spirits to refine the Five Heart Pills that increase lifespan. If it succeeds, use the original body, if it fails, take over another body and rebuild. There is always a way out.
This calculation is in line with Yu Yuehai's style, and the other party did the right thing. Although he used Thunderbolt No. 4 to destroy the other party's original body, the other party survived by taking over Zhao Zhengyuan's body and has been at large for so many years.
If the other party had not made a wrong estimate this time and thought that he was a foundation-building cultivator and wanted to get something from him, he could continue to live freely and even forming a pill would not be impossible.
"Strength is the foundation, it can crush all conspiracies and tricks!"
Chen Lin sneered.
The other party probably would never have imagined that the old cultivator who had been unable to break through the third level of Qi training for twenty years would now have a higher level of cultivation than him.
"Huh?"
While thinking about the past and looking through the storage bag, Chen Lin suddenly let out a light exclamation and took a yellowed manual in his hand.
Qiyun alchemy
The name of this book made Chen Lin think of many things.
Chuyuan Pill and Kaiwu Pill, these two kinds of pills come from Yuehai's Qiyun alchemy technique, which is said to be created by an elder of the Black Demon Sect.
If it weren't for these two kinds of pills, he wouldn't have been able to progress so quickly in the Qi training stage, especially the Enlightenment Pill, although it had great side effects, it was also of great help to him.
After sighing for a while, Chen Lin opened the booklet.
Sure enough, the recipes for the Chu Yuan Pill and the Kai Wu Pill were recorded, as well as the recipe for the Yin-Yang Twin Pill that Ye Jingyun entrusted the alchemist of the Dan Pavilion to give him when he was in Dan Ding City.
He had never understood the efficacy of this elixir, but now he got the answer. It was an elixir that could allow cultivators with two different attributes of yin and yang to achieve a balance of yin and yang by refining the elixir together.
Its main function is to heal injuries and treat the imbalance of innate yin and yang attributes. It can also be used to improve cultivation during dual cultivation. However, it is only effective for the Qi training stage and the foundation building stage, and it has little effect in the Golden Core stage.
After flipping through it for a while, Chen Lin couldn't help but marvel at it.
Most of the elixir recipes recorded here are alternative and uncommon, and the materials used are very low-grade.
If it weren't for the ridiculously low success rate of normal refining of these pill recipes, they would truly be considered a treasure book.
Of course, it is just right for him, but the level of the elixir recorded above is too low and is no longer effective for him now.
After turning to the last page, Chen Lin was about to close the book, but suddenly his eyes paused and he took out a piece of paper made of special material that was sandwiched between the pages.
Soul refining pill
There was also a recipe for a pill recorded on the paper, but the name was incomprehensible.
After reading the recipe with curiosity, Chen Lin became doubtful.
"There are actually such elixirs in the world?"
He muttered to himself, finding it hard to believe.
According to the recipe, this elixir can temper the soul and cause a qualitative change in it.
However, there is no mention of the specific effects after the qualitative change. Instead, two stages are marked. The first stage is Silver Soul, where the soul can turn silver, and the second stage is Gold Soul, where the soul turns gold.
He found it incredible that the soul could produce color. He had never heard of such a thing.
After stroking his chin and thinking for a while, he looked at the paper again.
There are words on both sides of the paper.
The front side is a kind of obscure ancient text, and the materials recorded are all unheard of. The font on the back is the same as the text in the book. Although the recorded materials are still precious, they exist in reality. This should be the improved version of the author of Qiyun Alchemy.
However, the content of this improved version seems to be incomplete. According to his experience in alchemy, there are still two main materials for which substitutes are not written.
In the original ancient recipe, these two materials are called Guangyin Sand and Eight-Armed Circumambulation respectively.
Chen Lin studied it for a while and felt a bit overwhelmed.
Although he had never heard of the Sand of Time, it sounded very high-end and must be a treasure of extremely high level. As for the Eight-Armed Circumvention, it really touched his blind spot. What kind of natural treasure would have such a name
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin had no impression of these two things in his mind, so he closed the book and put it away.
If you come across something like this whose effect you don't know, just try to refine it. If you don't come across it, there's no need to do it on purpose.
After finishing the spiritual food on the table, he got up, left the restaurant, and returned to Tianyun Fairy City.
Chen Lin did not live in the city, but found a spiritual vein outside the city to open a cave. Then he asked Chen Qiaoyun's family to help find those old cultivators in the late stage of Qi training who had no hope of building a foundation, or those who had reached the great perfection of Qi training. He would not accept any independent cultivators, disciples of large forces, or those with connections.
He was about to start trying out his previous plan to explore the demon world.
Although he hired these monks for a fee, the demon world was sensitive after all, so he didn't want to make it too public.
Foundation Building Pills are a scarce resource, and there are countless independent cultivators who cannot build their foundations without them. Chen Qiaoyun soon found some. Based on the information provided by them, Chen Lin selected ten people as the first batch of test subjects.
"Let's be frank. This operation is extremely dangerous. Once you sign the contract, it's a done deal. You can't go back on your word. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
In the newly opened cave, Chen Lin looked at the ten old and frail Qi-cultivating monks in front of him and spoke in a deep voice.
The old cultivators looked at each other, and one of them with long eyebrows asked tentatively, "Senior, is it really as you said? We will follow your request to explore the dangerous area. As long as we come out alive, whether we bring back treasures or not, we will be rewarded with a foundation-building pill?"
Speaking of the Foundation Establishment Pill, a gleam of light emanated from the old cultivator's turbid eyes.
The others also pricked up their ears, waiting for Chen Lin's answer.
Chen Lin nodded without further ado, and directly took out a pill bottle and poured the ten foundation-building pills out of it onto the table, where they dripped and spun around.
The old cultivators' eyes suddenly widened, they all stared at the pill, their breathing becoming heavy.
A foundation-building pill is the hope of life!
If it weren't for Chen Lin's Jindan stage pressure, these people would probably lose their minds and rush to loot.
"Please give me your orders, senior. For the sake of building my foundation, I, Wang Dahai, will accept it even if I have to climb mountains of swords and plunge into boiling water!"
The old monk with long eyebrows took a deep breath, then walked to the front of the table and dripped his blood on the contract.
Seeing this, the others also signed the contract happily and then looked at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin picked up the contract and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Although the place I asked you to explore is dangerous, it is not a place where you will die. In addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill that you must obtain, if you can bring out treasures from it, I will reward you with one more for each one you bring out. If anyone can get what I need, I can continue to provide Foundation Establishment Pills until you succeed in building your foundation!"
This promise made the eyes of the ten people brighter, and the one who was over a hundred years old even looked as excited as a child.
Chen Lin was very satisfied with this atmosphere, and then placed the ten people in different secret rooms.
These secret rooms are equipped with powerful formations to prevent these people from mutating after returning from the demon world and bringing danger to the real world.
This is also the reason why he did not take action within the city.
Most fairy city managers would be very averse to seeing someone in the city performing such dangerous actions, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Tan Tai Yun Jin.
Finally, Chen Lin took out the demon world items he got from Shen Daoling.
This is a piece of pitch-black wood that looks like ordinary lightning-struck wood, but it carries the essence of the demonic aura.
Although he found ten people at one time, he would not let them enter the demon world together, but let them come one by one to avoid any abnormalities that would be difficult to deal with.
The first choice is the old man with long eyebrows. This person is quite enterprising and may bring surprises.
Chen Lin came to the secret room where the other party was and told him about the things in the Demon World. From the other party's confused eyes, it could be seen that the other party did not know the existence of the Demon World.
This is also normal.
Some Qi-cultivating cultivators, especially those who practice independently, do not have the ability to leave the scope of their immortal city throughout their entire lives. No one in Tianyun Immortal City has explored the Demon World, so naturally they would not know about it.
There was a confidentiality clause in the contract, and the other party would not and dared not disclose the exploration information. Chen Lin told the other party about some of the situations and precautions in the Demon Realm, and then handed the box containing the lightning-struck wood to the other party, asking the other party not to resist the invasion of the aura on it.
Although the aura on this piece of wood is pure, it is completely different from the aura of the sarcophagus in the mine cave of Silver Tiger City. If you resist it, you may not be able to forcibly pull people into the demon world.
The old monk with long eyebrows hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the lightning-struck wood in his hand with a determined look, and fell into a deep sleep soon after.
Upon seeing this, Chen Lin took out the foundation-building puppet, and asked the puppet to use its magic power to lift the lightning-struck wood back into the box, then put the lid back on to seal it.
He took out another crow puppet and used the two puppets to watch and observe the situation.
And he himself withdrew.
