After returning to the cave, Chen Lin summoned Yang Ziqing.
"Go and find out about a woman named Ling Qianxue. She is the younger sister of Ling Qianshan, a late-stage casual cultivator of the Spiritualization Realm. She is quite famous, but you should not investigate openly. Just find out about it secretly. Do not let the other party find out, otherwise the other party may directly take your life."
He briefly explained Ling Qianshan's situation.
It is extremely dangerous for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to inquire about the people around a Spirit Transformation cultivator, so he was warned carefully.
Yang Ziqing took a breath and nodded, "Okay, Master. I've heard of this Ling Qianshan. He often appears in several mission halls. He's a mission maniac. I'll be careful."
After Yang Ziqing left, Chen Lin began to think.
He carefully recalled the process of examining Ling Qianxue's soul and felt that he was not wrong. The other party's situation was absolutely exactly the same as Ye Luo's.
If this is true, then even if the other party's origin is restored, it will not be easy for him to successfully build a foundation.
At that time, Ye Luo was able to succeed only with the help of the Ye family's ancestor and other powerful refining masters. The other party only had a brother who was in the late stage of the spirit transformation realm. It was not possible for him to temporarily cut off the connection with the powerful existence.
in addition.
Ye Luo was able to communicate and summon related beings during the Qi training stage, and the other party should be able to do the same, but the brother and sister concealed this fact, and no one knew what kind of monster the related one was.
Therefore, the reason why the other party could live so long might not be because he ate some spiritual fruit, but it might be related to the creatures related to him.
Chen Lin touched his chin and fell into thought.
He actually encountered such strange things related to strange existences twice. Moreover, he was able to cure his congenital defects, and he also encountered the skeleton monster summoned by Ye Luo. This made him inevitably wonder whether there was some powerful being controlling it in secret.
The truth is that he had been manipulated too many times in the past, and he was a little paranoid.
But there are differences between the two.
Because of Ye Luo's connection with the skeleton monster, his lifespan became shorter, and he didn't even have a normal lifespan, while the other party's lifespan became longer, and he lived for hundreds of years.
"Forget it, let's take a look first."
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Even if he made a deal with Ling Qianshan, he would only be responsible for producing the elixirs and would not personally treat Ling Qianxue to avoid being noticed by the mysterious and powerful being.
Next, he began to study the ancient elixir recipe that Huang Liu had traded to him.
It is estimated that the elixir cannot be refined, but the knowledge of the elixir formation contained in it is what he needs and can improve his alchemy level.
In a flash, three days passed.
Yang Ziqing came back to report.
What surprised Chen Lin was that the other party actually found out a lot of information about the Ling brothers and sisters. Although it was not in-depth, it gave him a certain understanding.
Both of them suddenly appeared in Liangyi City two hundred years ago. When they came, Ling Qianshan was in the late Nascent Soul stage, and Ling Qianxue had completed the Qi training stage.
Two hundred years have passed, the brother's cultivation has made great progress, but the sister is still standing still.
However, a Qi-cultivating cultivator has lived for more than two hundred years, and Huang Liu even said that he is more than five hundred years old, which means he was already three hundred years old when he came here. Such a special situation naturally attracted the attention of many people.
But Ling Qianshan is a sister-con, so he has conflicts with many people and has also gained a reputation for it.
It was not until Ling Qianshan was promoted to the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and gave the reason that Ling Qianxue had eaten spiritual fruits in the secret realm and her soul origin was congenitally damaged that fewer people began to pay attention to them.
He doesn't really care about these.
According to the information Yang Ziqing had obtained, although Ling Qianshan had a bad temper and a weird temper, his credibility was still good, and that was enough.
"Master, I have something I want to apply for."
Yang Ziqing waited for Chen Lin to digest the information before speaking hesitantly.
"What is it?"
Chen Lin looked at the other person in surprise.
After being recruited as his subordinate, the other party has always acted cautiously, never making any requests, and even not speaking on his own initiative. But today, it seems that there is something really important.
Yang Ziqing hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I see that your yard is unattended, so I want to take my sister to be your maid, responsible for cleaning the yard."
Then he quickly said, "If it's inconvenient for the senior to stay here, let him stay at my place."
Chen Lin was stunned.
Then I seemed to understand something.
It was probably because of his special attention to Yang Zishi in the Yang family that the other party misunderstood something.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. No matter how lustful he was, he wouldn't look for a mortal girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. Moreover, a mortal, let alone becoming his woman, even if he leaked a little bit of energy in his daily life, it would be enough to make the other person lose his soul.
All mortals living in this city need to wear special protective treasures, otherwise, even without the help of high-level cultivators, the energy released by Jindan cultivators can kill them instantly.
Monks and mortals are no longer life forms of the same level. The combination of mortals and monks only exists among the group of Qi-cultivating monks, and at least their lifespans are not much different.
But after a little thought, he agreed.
"Okay, then let her come over. She doesn't have to live outside. Build a few more side houses in my cave courtyard. You and your sister can live here, and it will be convenient for me to summon some."
Chen Lin nodded in agreement, then took out a protective jade talisman and handed it to the other party.
He was interested in studying the girl's talents and abilities. Since she came to him on her own initiative, he would keep her by his side and observe her for a while.
Yang Ziqing didn't know the inside story and thought that Chen Lin was really interested in his sister. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he responded and hurried back to pick up his sister.
If my sister could become the master's woman, it would not only be of great help to him, but also of great benefit to her herself.
He knew that his sister had always longed to cultivate immortality, but he was just a mere foundation-building cultivator and did not have the ability for mortals to practice. His master might have a way. Although the possibility was slim, it was still a hope. It was better than letting his sister marry a mortal and waste her life.
With Chen Lin's insight, he could naturally see Yang Ziqing's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't care. If the girl's talent was really useful to him, it was not impossible to consider turning her into a cultivator at a certain price.
Yang Ziqing was very quick and brought his sister back in less than an hour.
Yang Zishi seemed at a loss, his face flushed, and he didn't dare to look up at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin found it very interesting, but he didn't say much so as not to put too much pressure on the other party. He directly took out some spirit stones and gave them to Yang Ziqing, asking him to buy materials and build a few side rooms in the yard.
Liangyi City has two main peaks. One is the headquarters of Liangyi Sect, and the other is full of caves for rent. The one he rented is halfway up the mountain, half inside the mountain and half outside. However, it is protected by various formations, so it has good privacy and is spacious enough.
After dealing with it, Chen Lin no longer paid attention to the brother and sister, but continued to study the recipe of the Four Symbols Swallowing Spirit Pill.
The more he studied it, the more he felt that this pill recipe was extremely mysterious. The theory of pill formation was truly amazing, and it pushed the art of making pills to another level.
Unfortunately, this is just a pill recipe after all, and not an explanation of the inheritance of alchemy. The description of the pill formation is limited to the use of refining this pill and is not comprehensive.
After more than ten days of research, Chen Lin finally figured out the recipe, but he was still very confused.
Not only is the recipe for this pill extremely complicated, but the materials required are also rare.
The more than 30 kinds of auxiliary spiritual medicines are not so bad. Although they are rare, as long as you are willing to spend the spirit stones, you should be able to buy most of them.
However, the four main spiritual objects were extremely rare, and he had not even heard of two of them. So if he wanted to refine the pill, he could only improve the recipe.
The jade slip contained several improvement plans designed by the alchemists of Wandan Pavilion, which described the reasons for the improvements as well as the pros and cons in great detail. That was why Huang Liu offered the price for one Zhige Dan.
Chen Lin sorted out the improvement plans again and finally selected one.
This plan will downgrade the levels of all the spiritual objects by one level, and replace more than 30 kinds of spiritual medicines. If successful, the efficacy of the elixir will naturally be reduced by one level.
However, this elixir was not originally intended for Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if it is lowered by one level, it is still sufficient. It just depends on whether it can be successfully refined.
However, all the alchemists of Wan Dan Pavilion failed without exception. No one knew whether it was because the improved theory was wrong or the success rate of making pills was low.
If it was a theoretical reason, then he had no choice. If it was a problem with the success rate of the pill, then he would make money.
Next, Chen Lin began to collect materials while continuing to comprehend the pill formula.
Half a month passed.
There has been no news from Ling Qianshan, and Huang Liu has not found any other Divine Transformation cultivators willing to take on the task.
Chen Lin could only let Yang Ziqing continue to pay attention to the mission hall, and then focus all his attention on refining the pill recipe.
If he could refine the elixir, he would have a chance to be promoted to the God Transformation Realm before the Tianxuan Day. If that is not possible, he could take the task himself. This task is used by the Liangyi Sect to recruit people and can be taken by many people, and it will not disappear.
After a few more days, Chen Lin felt that he had fully understood both the original and improved versions of the elixir recipe, so he activated his innate ability and visualized the line of destiny in his mind.
As soon as he thought about it, he imagined using the improved version of the recipe to refine the elixir, and a strand of innate light suddenly became bright.
Chen Lin's face lit up with joy.
Although this line has many gaps, it is not broken, which means that the elixir can be refined according to this plan.
However, there were too many broken edges, and one of them was very large. He could not correct it with his own luck alone. He only had one golden crab, and the Gambling Luck Lake had not been opened. Once it was used up, there would be no more luck items available.
He was somewhat reluctant to use his only golden crab, as it could save his life at the critical moment. Moreover, one furnace of pills was not enough, as one furnace could only produce three pills. With the medicinal power of the improved pill formula, if he wanted to advance his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage, he would need at least five furnaces.
Therefore, if you want to achieve what you want, you must continue to comprehend the recipe, and then practice with the materials to improve your proficiency and reduce the gap in the destiny line.
