After dealing with the Yuan family's affairs, Chen Lin began to collect elixirs and refine them to make the Xuandan.
This elixir requires many kinds of spiritual medicines. The efficacy of the elixir varies greatly depending on the year the spiritual medicine is used. However, it does not mean that the older the spiritual medicine used, the better. It depends on your own situation.
The nourishment of the Nascent Soul is a gradual process. With his current level of cultivation, if the spiritual medicine he uses is too old, the elixir he refines will be too overbearing and have the opposite effect.
Thanks to the appearance of the ruins of good fortune, Tianfeng City has a wide variety of spiritual medicines, and Chen Lin easily gathered them all.
The refining process went smoothly. With his current level of alchemy, he did not need the assistance of any innate abilities as long as the elixir was not too difficult.
The following days became calm again.
The development of the ruins of the Creation Gate has come to an end, and the treasures in the secret realm have basically been cleared out by all major forces. Although the remaining scraps still attract a large number of cultivators, it is not as lively as before.
In addition to refining the Creation Pill, Chen Lin also studies spells and practices every day. In his spare time, he goes out for a walk and buys some materials. His life is very peaceful.
But occasionally I would think of the portrait of the Fairy of Flowers, and then think of Luo Qinglan, and my feelings of longing and worry grew stronger and stronger.
A year passed in a flash.
I don’t know if it’s because of the use of the Creation Profound Pill, but Chen Lin’s cultivation progressed rapidly in this year, much more than several years of normal cultivation. While he was overjoyed, he also increased his efforts to collect materials for refining the Creation Profound Pill.
He was no longer limited to the materials used in the Nascent Soul stage. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the exploration of the ruins had not yet been completed, he planned to collect all the materials used in the Spirit Transformation stage. If conditions permitted, it would be best to also collect some materials needed for the Void Refinement stage.
"Haha, Elder Chen's visit really makes our little shop shine!"
Chen Lin walked into a luxurious shop and the old shopkeeper immediately came up to greet him with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Fu, if this is a small shop, there would be no grand hall in Tianfeng City. How is it? How many people have come?"
Chen Lin greeted him and looked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
This time he was invited to attend the trade fair. He had no interest in such gatherings before, but he had a lot of materials to collect recently, so when the other party made the invitation, he readily agreed.
The store is called Tianbao Pavilion. The owner is an elder of Yingyue Palace who has reached the perfect level of Spirit Transformation. He has a very strong background and often holds various trade fairs, and he always brings out some rare treasures.
"Some people have arrived. Elder Chen, please go upstairs!"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately invited Chen Lin upstairs and ordered the waiter to serve Chen Lin spiritual tea with a very humble attitude.
Now, all the well-informed people in Tianfeng City know that Chen Lin is Murong Qing's man, so even though his cultivation is only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and he is just a marginal deacon elder without a specific position, no one dares to underestimate him.
The second floor is a spacious hall.
Chen Lin took a quick look and saw that all the people present were Nascent Soul cultivators, both male and female, and the seats were basically full.
Those who knew each other chatted in low voices, while more of them just sat and waited.
This is a trade fair for Nascent Soul cultivators. It is normal that there are no cultivators of other levels, and such trade fairs for cultivators of the same level are the norm.
After all, cultivators at the same level require treasures of similar levels, so it is more convenient to exchange what they have. They also don’t have to worry too much about their wealth being exposed and being coveted by higher-level cultivators, or even being robbed by them by relying on their cultivation level.
Chen Lin didn't see anyone familiar, so he sat in his seat, sipping his spiritual tea without greeting anyone else.
After a while, all the seats were filled, and then an old man in a green robe walked to the stage in front.
"I am Zhang Tianyue, thank you all for giving face to our Tianbao Pavilion and coming to support us!"
The old man in green robe clasped his fists and continued, "Everyone's time is precious, so I won't say any more. Let's stick to the old rules. Fellow Taoists are free to trade. If there are treasures whose prices are uncertain, our appraisers can appraise them for free. However, as the organizer, our store has three rights to exchange treasures first. If there is a conflict with any fellow Taoist because of this, please forgive me."
Everyone was aware of this condition, so no one spoke.
Chen Lin also nodded. The other party provided the venue and sent people to preside over the appraisal, and only asked for three priority trading rights, which was already very generous.
"Okay, then let's start by taking out the first treasure!"
The old man took the box from the waiter with a smile, opened it and revealed a black short knife, and said: "The fake soul-slaying knife is a copy of the soul-transforming level soul-stealing knife. It has a strong damaging effect on soul creatures. It is mainly used to exchange various spiritual medicines. If any Taoist friend is interested, please make an offer!"
As soon as the treasure appeared, the monks became agitated.
A replica of a spiritual treasure of the spiritual level is still very valuable and difficult to come across easily.
Even in this upper realm, spiritual treasures are rare. Most of the Nascent Soul cultivators use pseudo-spiritual treasures. After all, Nascent Soul cultivators like Chen Lin who have endless treasures are a minority.
After a fierce battle, the Soul-Slaying Sword was exchanged for several old spiritual herbs by a charming young woman.
Chen Lin took a look at the other person. He was not attracted by the other person's figure, but the casual attitude of the other person taking out the spiritual medicine. He must have a lot of spiritual medicine on him, so he could touch it if he had the chance.
He now tries to buy as many spiritual medicines as possible. As an alchemist, he can never have too many spiritual medicines.
The old man livened up the atmosphere and then walked aside to give his seat to others.
The cultivators took turns to come on stage to present their treasures. What made Chen Lin happy was that spiritual medicines appeared very frequently. He tried several times and even got two spiritual medicines for refining the authentic Soul-Restoring Pill, thus completing the materials for this pill.
The effect of the genuine Soul-Restoring Pill is incredible. It can even restore the innate defects of the soul's origin. Its value is immeasurable.
Although he can't use it now, he can keep it as a treasure in the bottom of the box. Once he meets someone who needs it, it can play an unexpected role.
In addition, he also exchanged for some Burning Lamp Fruits, which provided him with more than enough supplies for refining the golden body.
This made Chen Lin very satisfied, and he decided to participate in more such trade fairs in the future.
"A plant of Acacia grass, a must-have for practicing the Seven Emotions Technique. It can also be used to strengthen the affection between Taoist partners, and can be exchanged for treasures or elixirs that can help advance to the Divine Transformation Realm!"
A cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the late Nascent Soul stage walked up to the stage, took out a small grass with a peculiar shape, and proposed trading conditions.
There was silence in the audience.
Chen Lin was also confused. He had never heard of this Acacia Grass. He had never even heard of the existence of a treasure that could increase the feeling of longing.
The others were obviously in the same mood, all showing expressions of surprise and doubt.
The holder of the treasure was a middle-aged man in a white robe, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw this.
In order to prepare for his ascension to the God Transformation Realm, he had basically exchanged away all of his treasures. The only valuable thing was this Acacia Grass obtained in the secret realm. However, if one did not know the value of this thing, one would have no way of judging its value, and it would be difficult to exchange it for the items one needed.
At this time, the green-robed old man from Tianbao Pavilion who had been silent suddenly stepped forward.
He looked at the small grass and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, are you going to make a breakthrough to the God Transformation Realm? However, it is not easy to find treasures that can assist in making a breakthrough to the God Transformation Realm. Although your Acacia Grass is rare, it is only useful for cultivators who practice the Seven Emotions and Six Desires. Such cultivators are rare. How about changing the transaction terms and using Spirit Crystals?"
The middle-aged man in white robe shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang should also know my situation. I don't have much time left. If I can't advance to the Spiritual Transformation Realm this time, everything will be over. What's the point of having those spirit crystals?"
The elder from Tianbao Pavilion sighed upon hearing this and said nothing more.
For cultivators whose life span is coming to an end, nothing is more important than breaking through a great realm. Unless one can produce a longevity elixir, one cannot impress the other party. However, although the Acacia Grass is precious, it is much inferior to a longevity elixir.
"My fellow Taoists, this Acacia Grass is a very rare spiritual herb. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have another chance to encounter it again. Is there really no Taoist who needs it?"
The man in white robe spoke again.
All the monks shook their heads.
No matter how precious the spiritual herbs are, they must be used.
Moreover, the other party specifically requested a treasure to assist in reaching the incarnation realm, and few people present could produce it. Even if they could, they would not exchange such a treasure for a useless spiritual herb.
The white-robed middle-aged man's face was increasingly disappointed, and he said unwillingly: "My fellow Taoists, if anyone can provide a treasure to help with the impact of the Divine Transformation Realm, not only can you get this Acacia Grass, but if I succeed in the promotion, I will also promise you a favor. If you need anything in the future, I will definitely help you with all my strength. We can sign a spiritual contract as an agreement!"
This reward made the monks below excited.
Even Chen Lin was a little tempted.
The favor of a powerful god-transforming master is of great value and can even save your life at a critical moment.
However, whether the other party can succeed in getting promoted is still unknown. This is a blank check. Whether it is worth taking a gamble depends on personal considerations.
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one spoke, the middle-aged man in white robe sighed and was about to step down.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, but still stood up, took out a jade box, walked up to the other party, and said, "Daoyou, are you satisfied with this?"
The middle-aged man in white robe was stunned for a moment, then he took the jade box and opened it. Inside was a pill the size of an egg yolk and a jade slip.
He picked up the jade slip with anticipation and probed it into his consciousness.
Then his eyes flashed with a gleam, and he clasped his fists towards Chen Lin and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist. I will remember this favor. If I can be promoted to the God Transformation this time, I will repay you a hundredfold!"
The reaction of the middle-aged man in white robe made all the cultivators look surprised, and they were curious about what kind of elixir Chen Lin took out.
But no one knew him.
Only the elder from Tianbao Pavilion standing aside frowned, looking thoughtful, as if a little unsure.
The man in white robe impatiently completed the transaction with Chen Lin and then left the trade fair. Chen Lin took the opportunity to start offering his treasures.
He took out a few pill bottles and said, "There are pills for Yuanying cultivators to improve their cultivation. There are pills for the early, middle and late stages. They can be exchanged for space attribute spirit crystals, yin and yang attribute spirit medicines over a thousand years old, origin soul fluids, and items related to the demon world!"
