"Fellow Daoist Chen, please take a seat."
After the Ye family ancestor left, the white-haired old man glanced at Chen Lin and nodded with a smile.
Chen Lin waved his hands hastily and said, "Junior will just stand there. Master Yu, please let me know if you have anything to say."
The other party was also a powerful Void Refinement expert, and although he behaved very kindly, he couldn't just sit over there.
The white-haired old man did not continue to be humble, but looked Chen Lin up and down and said, "I heard that you have a deep attainment in alchemy. I wonder what level you have reached?"
Chen Lin felt as if he had been seen through, and he had no idea what the other party meant by asking this. After thinking for a while, he said truthfully, "Senior, I can only refine Yuanying-level pills at the moment, and the success rate is not very high."
"oh?"
The old man looked puzzled.
"Then you can refine the Soul-Birthing Pill, so there must be some secret to it?"
Chen Lin's heart sank.
From what he said, it seemed that he knew a lot about the Soul-Restoring Pill, and it seemed that this Soul-Restoring Pill was not something that he could refine at his level.
Thoughts swirled, and he immediately said, "Reporting to the senior, the Soul-Regenerating Pill I have is an improved one. The fact that I was able to refine it might be related to my luck. This kind of pill with a low success rate, if I refine it, will be better than other alchemists."
He couldn't guess the methods of the powerful Void Refiner, so he chose to give a half-true and half-false answer. It wasn't really false, because his power of destiny also required the power of luck to use.
"Haha, Mr. Chen is really an honest person."
The old man seemed very satisfied with Chen Lin's answer and showed an appreciative look.
But immediately his tone sank, and he said, "But your success rate is not just slightly higher than other alchemists. As far as I know, there are very few people who can refine this pill. Even the great masters of alchemy cannot reach a success rate of 10%. And your recipe has been improved, so the success rate should be even lower."
Chen Lin didn't say anything.
There is no way to explain this kind of thing, we can only attribute it to luck.
The old man had no intention of asking him to explain, and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Fellow Daoist Chen, are you willing to join my Medicine God Valley?"
Chen Lin was stunned.
I didn't expect the other party to make such a request.
To be honest, he was a little tempted. Although Yaoshen Valley was not a super sect, it had a respected status. If he could join it, he would be able to have a stable environment for cultivation.
But he also knew very well that the other party was not cherishing his talent, but just wanted to take advantage of his "specialness". If he went there, he might become a tool for alchemy, or even worse.
Thinking of this, he bowed and said, "Thank you, senior, but the time agreed with the Ye family has not yet arrived, and I have some other things to do, so I can only let you down."
The old man seemed to have expected this and showed no displeasure.
After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said, "If that's the case, then forget it. However, I'm very interested in your improved pill formula. I wonder if you can transfer it to me?"
Chen Lin felt relieved.
The other party went around in circles, it turns out it was for this.
At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly complain that for such a powerful leader, if he wanted something, he should just say it directly. Is there any need for psychological warfare
"Since Senior has spoken, I will naturally offer it to you with both hands. This jade slip contains the contents of the pill formula. Please accept it."
Chen Lin took out a blank jade slip, entered the recipe for the improved Soul-Restoring Pill into it, and then handed it over with both hands.
The old man casually took the jade slip into his hand and began to examine it.
After a moment, he nodded, "It is indeed a clever idea, worthy of being an ancient heritage."
Then, he looked at Chen Lin and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't think that I am taking advantage of you. I am not responsible for this. It was your Ye family's ancestor who entrusted me to use this recipe to restore the original ancient recipe. I want to refine the real ancient recipe elixir to cure this little girl."
After a pause, he continued, "But I got a recipe for the elixir for free, and I can't let a junior like you suffer. I see that you are wearing a Buddhist treasure on your head, so you must be practicing Buddhist skills. It just so happens that I once got a recipe for a rare Buddhist elixir, so I'm giving it to you!"
The old man flipped his wrist and a bamboo slip-like object appeared, wrapped in magic power and floated in front of Chen Lin.
"Thank you, senior!"
Chen Lin took it with both hands, without checking it directly, he put it away and thanked respectfully.
He had some connection with Buddhism, but he had never heard of Buddhist elixirs, which made him very curious.
At the same time, he also became alert, suspecting that the continuous receipt of Buddhist items during this period was due to the increase in the power of the cause and effect thread.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
"Senior, the pill recipe I got before is actually the original ancient recipe, but several of the spiritual medicines have been smeared and modified, and the original names of the spiritual medicines are not clear. But if you want to restore the pill recipe, it should be of reference."
After saying that, Chen Lin took out another jade slip, marked some of the original recipe he had obtained from Ji Wu Yu, and handed it to the other party.
The original pill recipe concerns Ye Luo's safety, so he should help if he can.
The old man's eyes lit up.
He took the jade slip and looked at it carefully, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
Then, he returned the jade slip to Chen Lin and said, "I didn't expect that this recipe only replaced these few ingredients. That's much simpler. I have already written down the names of the spiritual medicines that have been replaced. This is my reward to you!"
Chen Lin was stunned.
This can really be said to be a piece of cake for the other party. He deduced the elixir that was replaced after only one look. He is indeed worthy of being the number one alchemist in the Northern Wilderness Continent.
He himself had also tried to restore the recipe, but he had no clue.
He took a deep breath and probed his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip. Sure enough, the part he marked had been replaced with new content. There were a total of five kinds of spiritual medicines, but he had never heard of the names of these spiritual medicines.
But this is not something he can worry about, the Ye family will go and look for it themselves.
Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Chen Lin tactfully took his leave and left the courtyard of the Ye family ancestor with Ye Luo.
"The true recipe for the Soul-Restoring Pill has been deduced. As long as I find enough ingredients, I will definitely refine the pill for you. Don't worry!"
As the two flew towards the market town, Chen Lin comforted the other.
Hope also appeared in Ye Luo's eyes, and he nodded vigorously.
Although she has become indifferent to life and death, she does not really want to die. She must fight for hope as long as there is hope.
This auction was unprecedentedly grand.
According to the latest order from the Ye family ancestor, all cultivators in the city, regardless of their level of cultivation, can participate, so it can only be held outdoors.
The auction platform was huge and was set up in the central square of the city. Ye Qingcheng was in charge personally, and there were also powerful Void-refining masters from other forces who were invited to the auction.
On both sides, there are more than ten Jindan monks guarding, and the security is very strict.
In such a situation, no one would dare to have any evil thoughts unless the Taoist master himself came.
Because they were delayed for a while at Yu Qianyue's place, when Chen Lin and the others arrived, the place was already crowded. Even the rooftops in the distance were filled with people.
However, the two men had special identities, especially Ye Luo, who took the order from the ancestor of the Ye family, ignored the no-fly zone regulations, and flew directly to the front with Chen Lin, sitting in his exclusive seat.
Chen Lin could feel that the monks around him were looking at him strangely.
The outside cultivators were probably speculating about their identities, while the Ye family members were simply envious and jealous.
He knew that what Ye Luo said was right. Even though she was favored by the ancestor and had a distinguished status in the Ye family, the disciples of the Ye family were not very kind to her. Instead, they were more jealous and resentful of her.
It's no wonder that the other party is unwilling to give up his talent and build his foundation at the cost of severing the connection with the other world. In that case, the other party will no longer be special. Once he loses the favor of the ancestor, his situation in the family can be imagined.
But in this case, even if you refine the genuine Soul-Restoring Pill and completely restore the opponent's soul origin, it will be difficult to build a foundation.
"Welcome all Taoist friends to our White Frost City. There are many participants in this trade conference, so it is inevitable that we may not be able to take good care of them. Please bear with us..."
The head of the Ye family came on stage and began to speak.
The other party was a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Although his voice was soft, it was very real, as if it echoed in every cultivator's mind.
Chen Lin looked around and found that except for him and Ye Luo, the people in the front row were basically all powerful gods. He suddenly felt a huge pressure. If it weren't for Ye Luo, he would never be so high-profile.
But since he is here, he might as well make the best of it. Anyway, he needs to buy a lot of things this time, and if he participates in the auction, it will attract attention. This will show off his identity and also dissuade some people with ulterior motives.
"Okay, fellow Taoists, you have been waiting for this for a long time, so I will not say any more words. The auction will officially begin!"
After the head of the Ye family finished speaking, a slightly plump old man in a blue robe flew onto the stage and said in a loud voice, "I am Ye Qianlun, and I have some ability to identify treasures. I will be in charge of this auction. If you have anything you want to auction during the auction, or if you don't have enough spirit stones and want to use treasures instead, you can give it to me for identification!"
"in addition."
The old man continued, "There is a bidding talisman on each seat. You can participate in the bidding through the talisman. You need to leave your spiritual imprint before using it, and then enter the bid into the talisman. After the bid is successful, you can go to the trading hall at the back with the talisman to hand over the treasure. If you don't have a bidding talisman, go to the trading hall immediately to get one for free."
After a pause, he straightened his tone and said, "But there is one thing I want to make clear. Once the bidding symbol is activated, the user will be able to establish contact with the formation here. If someone bids maliciously and does not hand over the treasure, then don't blame us for being ruthless!"
After introducing the rules, the old man waved his hand, and immediately a graceful female cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage came forward with a tray. On the tray was a glittering flower as big as a bowl, and the fragrance it emitted instantly enveloped the entire place.
When he smelled the fragrance, Chen Lin suddenly felt his whole body refreshed. Both his mind and body felt as if impurities were cleared away.
The old man in blue robe smiled slightly and said, "We can't let you all down at this grand auction held once every ten years, so the Ye family is throwing out a brick to attract jade. We will first take out a Tianxiang Qingxuan flower, with a reserve price of one spirit stone. You can raise the price at will. Any Taoist who likes it can bid!"
