"Spiritual treasure of the spiritual level?"

When Chen Lin heard the price offered by the Divine Transformation cultivator introduced by Huang Liu, his face suddenly turned ugly.

He looked at the big man with a face full of flesh in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Senior, this price is a bit too high. I can't afford such a treasure. Can you change it for another one?"

The conservative estimate for the price of a spiritual treasure of the spiritual transformation level is at least five hundred spiritual crystals, and it is out of stock and cannot be bought at all.

So far, he has only seen one Skyfire Purgatory Blade at the Ye family's auction in Baishuang City, and it was taken away directly by a Void Refining Expert as soon as it appeared. Now thinking back, it should be that the Ye family's ancestor and the Void Refining Expert had agreed on it long ago. It was not only a favor, but also increased the gimmick and grade of the auction.

"Humph, I'm already giving face to Wan Dan Pavilion by meeting you, and you're still wasting my time by bargaining!"

Hearing Chen Lin's words, the big man snorted coldly, stood up and was about to leave.

"Senior Ling, calm down!"

Huang Liu, who was standing by, hurriedly stood up to stop them, and said, "Senior Ling, a spiritual treasure of the Transformation level is not something that we, the Nascent Soul cultivators, can possess. We can't even buy it. It's normal that Fellow Daoist Chen can't take it out. Could you please consider other conditions?"

The big man glanced at Huang Liu, stopped and said, "Okay, then give Steward Huang some face and see what conditions he can offer."

After saying that, he returned to his seat.

Chen Lin looked at the other person's actions and didn't know whether he was acting or if he really had this kind of personality.

But no matter what, it is probably not so easy to impress the other party. A cultivator in the late stage of the Jindan realm, who is also a strong man in the field, is not worth low, not to mention that he needs something from the other party.

Secretly saying that money is something outside of one's body, Chen Lin gritted his teeth and said, "I definitely can't take out a spiritual treasure of the Spiritual Transformation level. If it's an ordinary spiritual treasure, I can still think of a way."

An ordinary spiritual treasure is worth fifty to one hundred spiritual crystals, and it is not easy to buy.

However, he got three items from Gu Shengjin and others, so he could take them out.

But the gap was too big. The price difference between ordinary spiritual treasures and spiritual treasures of the spiritual transformation level was almost ten times. The big man's eyes suddenly widened, revealing an angry look of being looked down upon.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin immediately spoke up again: "Apart from an ordinary spiritual treasure, if you are short of any elixir, I can also help you refine it. If you have any other requests, you can also raise them and I will try my best to solve them."

After hearing what Chen Lin said, the big man's anger gradually subsided.

Huang Liu on the side also hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Yes, Senior Ling, please tell me your requirements. In addition to the spiritual treasure of the spiritual level, do you have any other conditions?"

"Other conditions?"

The big man said in a cold voice: "Of course it doesn't have to be a spiritual treasure of the Spiritual Transformation level. Since you are an alchemist, if you can come up with an elixir that can help you advance to the Void Refining level, I will accept this task!"

After these words were spoken, Chen Lin and Huang Liu looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Chen Lin said: "This kind of elixir is beyond my ability. Do you have any other requests?"

In the path of cultivation, the higher the realm, the fewer elixirs that can assist in practice.

The Lianxu realm is a major watershed for cultivators, because once one reaches this realm, one can theoretically live forever. Although it is impossible to truly achieve immortality for various reasons, there are many people who live for more than ten thousand years. For a cultivator in the Huashen realm, living for three thousand years is considered a long life.

Therefore, the realm of refining emptiness is the dream goal of most cultivators, but the difficulty of promotion is also extremely exaggerated. Not all cultivators among thousands of cultivators who have reached the realm of transformation of spirits can succeed.

The reason is that auxiliary elixirs are scarce. Not only are there few elixir recipes, but spiritual medicines that can be effective for cultivators of this level are also extremely rare. The other party's requirement is more difficult to achieve than a spiritual treasure of the spiritual transformation level.

The big man didn't get angry this time.

He also knew that this requirement was too high and could not be achieved by a mere Nascent Soul level alchemist.

But he did not continue to make demands. Instead, he looked at Chen Lin and said, "There is a realm gap between you and me. You basically cannot produce what I want. Now I will give you one last chance. If you can't produce something that can impress me, then forget it."

The corner of Chen Lin's mouth twitched and he pondered.

This person's appetite is indeed very big. If we go by the remuneration level proposed by the other party, there is really nothing about him that can impress the other party.

Even though he is wealthy, that is only compared to a Nascent Soul cultivator. Facing a Spiritualization cultivator who is a whole realm higher than him, his wealth is not that impressive.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Huang Liu.

Judging from the other party's working style, since he introduced this person to him, it should not be a waste of time. It is very likely that he has something that this person needs.

Sure enough, when Huang Liu saw Chen Lin looking at her, she immediately said, "Senior Ling has been looking for soul-related elixirs. My friend is good at refining such elixirs. Why don't we discuss it and see if we can reach a consensus?"

So that's how it is.

Chen Lin understood the reason.

At the alchemist exchange meeting, he did share some insights on soul elixirs, and also traded some Soul-Condensing Pills and improved versions of Soul-Regenerating Pills. It turned out that Huang Liu introduced this person to him because of this.

"oh?"

The big man glanced at Chen Lin.

Then he said, "I wonder what type of soul elixir Master Chen can refine, and what is the level of it?"

Seeing the other party's tone soften, Chen Lin immediately understood what was going on and said, "It's hard to say. There are many types of soul elixirs. It depends on what the senior wants to use it for, healing, refining, or nourishing?"

He can now refine soul nourishing pills, soul regenerating pills, soul condensing pills, soul refining pills and other pills for different purposes. He dare not say that his level of soul alchemy is unique, but it is also incomparable to that of ordinary alchemists. After all, not everyone has the talent to succeed.

Seeing Chen Lin's attitude, the big man's eyes showed expectation and said, "It's for healing. The essence of the soul is damaged."

Chen Lin was certain when he heard this, as this was exactly his strong point.

He now has ordinary Soul-Restoring Pills and the elixir of genuine Soul-Restoring Pills on him, so it is enough to have the spiritual medicine of ordinary Soul-Restoring Pills. Even if the other party's innate origin is damaged, there will be no problem.

"Can."

Chen Lin responded calmly.

Since the other party also has needs, it will be easy.

At this time, Huang Liu on the side suddenly said: "Fellow Daoist Chen, Senior Ling's sister's innate essence is damaged. I'm afraid that ordinary healing pills may not be effective."

"Is your innate essence damaged? That's really troublesome."

Chen Lin nodded and whispered.

The other party was reminding him not to be too confident, so as to avoid a bad ending. After all, damage to the innate origin is generally recognized to be difficult to heal, and it can only be compensated and restored to the greatest extent possible.

But this is not the time to be humble. If he could use the Soul-Restoring Pill to get the other party to help him complete the task of the Liangyi Plate, he would be extremely willing to do so.

The value of the genuine Soul-Restoring Pill may not be lower than that of a spiritual treasure of the Spiritual Transformation Level in the eyes of those who need it, but to him, it is nothing.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin said again: "It is difficult to recover from the damage to the innate origin, but if Senior Ling can help me complete the task of qualifying to use the Liangyi Disk, I will definitely do my best to treat your sister."

"To what extent can the elixir you refined restore the damaged soul essence?"

The big man looked at Chen Lin deeply, expecting to ask.

Chen Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Specifically, it depends on the extent of the damage to the soul of the senior's sister. If it is not very serious, she can recover very well. Even a complete recovery is not impossible."

"What!"

The big man looked at Chen Lin with suspicion and said, "I, Ling Qianshan, don't tolerate any sand in my eyes. If you lie to me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Huang Liu, who was standing beside him, stood up in a hurry and looked at Chen Lin and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, there is a fundamental difference between the damage to the origin of the soul caused by innate nature and the damage to the soul caused by acquired nature. You must be sure of this."

Chen Lin's expression straightened up and he said, "I know, so I think we should meet Senior Ling's sister first to confirm the situation."

Although he had confidence in the genuine Soul-Restoring Pill, he still had to leave some room for maneuver in case of special circumstances.

Huang Liu's expression relaxed.

She was worried that Chen Lin would not know the seriousness of the matter and would exaggerate his abilities. Not only would the other party be in danger of death, but she, the introducer, would also suffer.

Ling Qianshan is not a good person, he really kills people without blinking an eye.

"Senior Ling, is this convenient for you?"

Huang Liu looked at Ling Qianshan for advice.

Ling Qianshan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call her over right away, wait a moment."

After saying that, he took out a communication talisman, told the address and activated it.

After a while, the alarm of the formation sounded outside the box.

Because of the cultivators' need for secrecy, most of the private rooms in the Spiritual Food Pavilion have isolation arrays, and this place is no exception.

Huang Liu stood up and opened the door of the box, and a pretty woman walked in.

"Hey, Sister Huang, you are here too, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The woman saw Huang Liu and asked with a puzzled look.

Huang Liu immediately explained the situation. After listening, the woman glanced at Chen Lin and said nothing, as if she was already accustomed to this kind of situation.

A flash of surprise flashed across Chen Lin's eyes.

This woman is too young!

He looked to be in his twenties, and his cultivation was only at the late stage of Qi training.

As a cultivator in the late stage of the Jindan realm, Ling Qianshan must be at least six or seven hundred years old. No one knows how he could have such a young sister.

"This is my sister Ling Qianxue, Master Chen, please check her out!"

Ling Qianshan glanced at his sister, and his sharp eyes softened.

Chen Lin nodded, stood up and walked to the woman, saying: "Don't resist, I need to check the damage to your soul."

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior."

Ling Qianxue nodded obediently and closed her eyes.

Chen Lin placed his hand on the other person's head, released his soul power, and concentrated on sensing.

After a while, he took his hand away, looked at the other person deeply, and a hint of suspicion flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"How is it, Master Chen, do you think my sister can recover from this condition?"

Ling Qianshan's voice rang out.

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. I'll leave some pills for your sister to try first. If they work, Senior Ling will notify Manager Huang, and then we can continue the discussion."

He took out a bottle of improved Soul Resurrection Pill and placed it on the table, then said to Huang Liu: "Fellow Daoist Huang, let's leave it at that for now. I already know about Miss Ling's condition. Whether she can recover depends on the effect of the pill. I'm sorry for interrupting you and wasting Senior Ling's time. I'll give this bottle of Soul Resurrection Pill to Senior Ling."

Huang Liu noticed the change in Chen Lin's attitude, but didn't know why. However, since things had come to this, he could only say goodbye.

The two left the Spiritual Food Pavilion, and Huang Liu sent a voice message: "Why did Fellow Daoist Chen leave suddenly? Is there anything abnormal with Ling Qianxue's soul?"

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Huang, Ling Qianxue's cultivation is only at the level of Qi Perfection. Is she really Ling Qianshan's biological sister?"

Huang Liu suddenly realized, "So that's why you're suspicious. I actually know something about this. Although Ling Qianxue looks only in her twenties, she's actually about the same age as Ling Qianshan, at least five hundred years old. It's just that her innate origin was damaged, so she's never been able to build her foundation."

"More than five hundred years old, this is impossible, could it be that he took some kind of elixir?"

Chen Lin glanced at Huang Liu and spoke in confusion.

A Qigong practitioner can live for more than 500 years, but ordinary longevity pills do not have this effect.

"It's not an elixir, but it's almost there."

Huang Liu responded and continued, "According to rumors, when Ling Qianxue was young, she ate a spiritual fruit in a secret place, so she broke through the limit of her lifespan, and her appearance has remained the same as it was then."

Chen Lin looked thoughtful.

Then he asked, "Is this rumor true? Has anyone else seen it with their own eyes?"

The Star South Realm is vast and the interface level is high. It is not impossible for such a spiritual fruit to exist, but it is unlikely to be obtained by a Qi-cultivating cultivator. If it is true, Ling Qianxue's luck is too good.

This is not important. What is important is that when he explored the other party's soul, he found that the other party's situation was very similar to Ye Luo's. The soul seemed to have some secret connection with some existence, but it was not as strong as Ye Luo's. If it were not for the advanced golden soul power, it could not be felt at all.

This situation made him very wary, so he immediately stopped investigating and decided to find out the truth first.

Huang Liu recalled for a moment and said, "It's just a rumor. I don't know if anyone has seen it, but Ling Qianxue has been in this city for more than two hundred years. It is true that she has been alive all this time. She has also been examined by the people of Liangyi Sect and confirmed that she is not a demon or an alien."

"Has it been checked by the Liangyi Sect? Then there really shouldn't be any big problems."

Chen Lin responded.

Then he said, "Thank you for your help today, Fellow Daoist Huang. Let's leave it at that for now and wait for the effect of Ling Qianxue's elixir to show. Her situation is a bit special and I'm not sure. If you know any other Divine Transformation cultivators who are willing to do the task, please let me know."

"Well, I hope your elixir works. There aren't many late-stage Spiritualization experts willing to take on such a task. If it doesn't work, we can only think of other ways."

Huang Liu nodded, and then the two of them went their separate ways.
