Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 500: Make a deal

Views:

After half a year of refining, the Soul Refining Pills were basically used up, with only five left.

This is what Chen Lin kept as a backup.

There was no movement from Princess Qinghua for a long time, so after much deliberation, he decided to sell the Soul Refining Pill.

He is now basically certain that although there are some people with supernatural powers here, they are not powerful enough to make people despair.

The strength of a person with supernatural powers all depends on the supernatural powers he possesses. He may be very strong in a single aspect, but his overall strength will be weaker.

With the cooperation of him and Xiaocao, even if they are defeated, they can still escape.

Especially after he got the pseudo spiritual treasure defensive soft armor, it made up for his shortcomings and gave him a boost of confidence.

In addition, the silver light particles in his soul have increased in the past six months, and the power of the Soul-Destroying Finger has increased again, but it has reached the peak of the simplified version of the Soul Refining Pill.

So we can't wait any longer.

Pavilion of All Things.

"Meet Manager Xu!"

Manager Xu is the middle-aged man. Chen Lin has come here quite often in the past six months and has become familiar with him.

Manager Xu saw Chen Lin and said with a slight smile, "Master Lin, are you here to buy a detour again?"

Before, when Chen Lin came here, apart from watching the fun, he only bought one item, such as small detours. In the eyes of Manager Xu, such a customer had no value at all. If it were not for the face of Princess Qinghua, he would not bother to pay attention to him.

Chen Lin knew the other party's attitude very well, and couldn't help but sigh that these businessmen were too realistic. Once Princess Qinghua lost her power, even he, her "friend", was implicated.

But there is no way. The world of those with supernatural powers is just like that of cultivators, where strength is everything.

The reason why Princess Qinghua can enjoy better treatment than a princess as a princess is because her soul has the possibility of advancement.

According to legend, the only Gintama in the Soul Kingdom's royal family, and the only Gintama in the entire Soul Kingdom, has reached the end of his lifespan.

If a new Gintama cannot be born before the death of this strong man, the throne of the Sima family will be shaken.

In terms of comprehensive strength, there are many large families in Soul Country that can compete with the Sima family. The Sima family can suppress the world because of this powerful Gintama. That's why the royal family is so anxious that they are willing to spend huge amounts of resources and use force to intimidate other countries to select several 'seeds' to try to advance to Gintama.

Princess Qinghua is one of the seeds.

He was originally given high hopes, but he failed to succeed and his status plummeted instantly.

The resources needed for soul fusion are extremely huge, and the effect is best only the first time. If you fail this time, there will be no second chance. Without the support of the country, it is almost impossible to complete the conditions required for the soul fusion ceremony independently.

Chen Lin's mind was churning with thoughts, but he had a smile on his face and said, "I'm not going to buy a small detour this time, but I have a business deal I want to discuss with Manager Xu."

"oh?"

Manager Xu was slightly surprised and asked, "What's the deal?"

Chen Lin had already prepared a draft, and pretended to be profound: "To be honest, I am a medicine master. I came to Soul Country this time to find new materials and research a new medicine. Unexpectedly, the original purpose was not achieved, but by chance, I developed a new medicine that is very effective in improving soul strength."

Manager Xu saw that Chen Lin looked very serious and was a little confused about whether it was true or not.

But Chen Lin is someone who can be friends with Princess Qinghua after all, so he must have some special abilities. If he is a pharmacist, it would be very reasonable.

Thinking of this, he made a gesture of invitation and invited Chen Lin to go upstairs.

Inside the box.

Manager Xu looked at Chen Lin and said, "I didn't expect that Master Lin is also a pharmacist. I was mistaken. I wonder what kind of medicine Master Lin has developed. Can you let me see it?"

There was no shortage of pharmacists in the Wanwu Pavilion, and he didn't think Chen Lin could come up with anything advanced. He was just asking out of courtesy to give Princess Qinghua a favor.

A princess who has fallen from power is still a princess. Harmony brings wealth in business, so there is no need to offend without reason.

What's more, he is just a worker.

Since the decision had been made, Chen Lin did not hide anything and directly took out the Soul Refining Pill.

He placed the pills in an exquisite box and even added some flower petals as embellishment to create a high-end feel.

Manager Xu was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Pills?"

Chen Lin was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the other party actually knew about elixirs. So, it's not that there are no elixirs in this world, they are just relatively rare.

In this case, he wouldn't have to worry anymore.

What he fears most now is the powerful Gintama from the royal family.

As long as the other party does not take action, he and Xiaocao will not be afraid of anyone when they unite.

However, the simplified version of the Soul Refining Pill cannot advance the soul, and it cannot even make the soul reach the critical point for advancement. Things of this level, plus the fact that the pill already exists, should not alarm the royal family.

Manager Xu observed it carefully for a while, then put the pill back into the box. He bowed to Chen Lin and said, "I don't have the ability to identify such a rare item. Master Lin, wait a moment. I'll go ask the shopkeeper to come over."

After saying that, he turned and left the box.

After a while,

The other party brought two people back.

A fair-faced young man and an old man with a white beard.

Seeing this fair-faced young man, Lvliu immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Lvliu greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Then he introduced Chen Lin: "Mr. Lin, this is the Crown Prince of Zhenling."

Seeing Lvliu's attitude, Chen Lin knew that the status of the Zhenling Prince was higher than that of Princess Qinghua, so he stepped forward and greeted her, "Greetings, His Royal Highness."

At the same time, I also understood why Wanwu Pavilion could achieve such a scale. It turns out that it has a strong backing.

"Haha, Miss Green Willow has become more beautiful. How is Princess Qinghua these days?"

The fair-faced young man was quite friendly and greeted me with a smile.

Lu Liu hurriedly said, "Thanks to the prince, the princess is doing well now."

The white-faced young man glanced at Chen Lin again and said, "I heard that a pharmacist who can refine elixirs has come. I happened to be here, so I came to see what's going on. You don't have to worry about me, just continue."

After saying that, he sat aside casually.

At this time, the white-bearded old man walked forward and picked up the pill.

After looking at it for a few times, he nodded, "Yes, it is indeed a pill. Since Master Wu passed away, I haven't seen this kind of thing for many years. I wonder where Master Lin is from and who is his master?"

Chen Lin clasped his fists and replied, "I was born in the Zuo family of the Soul Kingdom, but I have been away from the family for many years. I am now called Lin Feiyu and I have no master."

"So he's from the Zuo family, no wonder."

The white-bearded old man nodded.

He was just asking casually. He didn't care about Chen Lin's identity. No matter what country or family he was from, it had no meaning to their Wanwu Pavilion.

"Master Lin, can you tell me about the specific effects of this pill?"

The white-bearded old man put the pill back into the box and began to ask questions.

Chen Lin did not hide it and explained: "This pill can increase the strength of the soul. If used for a long time, it can make the soul undergo a qualitative change and turn into silver."

"What!"

Before the old man could say anything, the pale-faced young man next to him stood up and exclaimed in shock.

"Are you sure this elixir can turn the soul into silver?"

The white-faced young man picked up the pill and spoke while looking at it.

Chen Lin explained again: "Only part of it turns silver. I have tested it myself and it is indeed the effect, but it won't work if the amount is small. It takes a long time of use to show the effect."

"Is that so? Then the value has been reduced a lot."

The pale-faced young man shook his head upon hearing this, looking disappointed.

This is exactly the effect Chen Lin wanted. If the effect of the Soul Refining Pill was too strong, he really wouldn't dare to take it out.

As far as he knew, whether it was the royal soul refining pool, items such as the double-arm circumambulation technique, or the royal soul fusion secret technique, they could all cause silver light particles to appear in the soul.

It is difficult to fully advance to Gintama, but there are many people like him with silver spots in their souls, which is not surprising.

After Princess Qinghua's last soul fusion, it seemed that she had reached the critical point of qualitative change.

It's just that the magical powers here can only be "granted by God", which makes it impossible to fully exert the power of the soul. Otherwise, if everyone has magical powers like the Soul-Destroying Finger, the combat power will be terrifying.

The old man pondered for a moment, then said, "Master Lin, I wonder what materials are needed to refine this pill. Could you please tell me?"

This kind of investigation was already excessive, but Chen Lin didn't care.

"The main material is the one-arm detour, and some other auxiliary materials are also needed."

He answered without thinking.

As for the things related to Qiyun Alchemy, no one can make it even if you give the recipe directly to the other party.

The old man showed an expression of "as expected", glanced at the green willow, and then at the white-faced man.

The pale-faced young man waved his hand and said, "You can do whatever you want. I have something else to do so I'll leave first."

The old man immediately understood the meaning. After sending the white-faced young man away, his attitude towards Chen Lin became much better.

Less than half an hour later, Chen Lin and Lvliu walked out of the Pavilion of All Things, and the white-bearded old man personally saw them off.

"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to be a potion master. I haven't heard you mention it for such a long time."

On the way, Lvliu looked at Chen Lin curiously, with an inquiring look.

"Haha, you didn't ask!"

Chen Lin smiled. He knew what the little maid meant. She wanted to ask him when he secretly made the elixir. After all, he and she were inseparable, and they even slept together in the house.

Lvliu pursed her lips and then asked, "Then you agreed to be the pharmacist for Wanwu Pavilion, so you should have discussed it with the princess first."

Chen Lin said indifferently: "It's okay. I just promised to sell the refined pills to them only. I didn't say I would join them. If Your Highness doesn't agree, I won't sell the pills. I originally refined the liquid medicine for my own use. I sold it to them only in exchange for materials for research."

"Mr. Lin, can your elixir really transform the soul? Can you sell it to me at a low price?"

"Okay, when I have more refined, you don't need to buy it, I will just give you some."

"real?"

The two chatted casually and returned to the Princess's Mansion.

Chen Lin knew that Lvliu would definitely report this matter to Princess Qinghua, so he simply took the initiative to find her.

Princess Qinghua didn't say anything, but just said that if a higher level product was developed, she could try the effect.

She also said one more thing. She planned to sell her property, raise resources on her own, and merge the spirit again on the next spirit-welcoming day!
