Chapter 637 - 639: Unsealing the Bloodthirsty Divine Needle!



Chapter 637: Chapter 639: Unsealing the Bloodthirsty Divine Needle!

Looking at the swordsman in front of him, Lin Zhen snorted disdainfully: “Have you forgotten how you were defeated last time?”

The swordsman sneered: “You think your Divine Infant will be of any use this time? I’ve got a Mental Defense Treasure!”

“To be honest, I don’t need to utilize any Spiritual Power to defeat you. My bare hands will suffice.”

“Hahahaha~! That’s ridiculous! Lin Zhen, you’re just a country bumpkin from the New World. We’ve been treating you like an ATM, and yet you dare to act arrogant before us?”

“Who are you guys?”

“That’s not your concern. It’s not that we can’t tell you, but we’re afraid that if we do tell you, you’ll be so frightened that you won’t dare to fight us. And that would be truly boring.”

“Really? Since you don’t want to confess, I’ll ensure you never get the chance to!”

Lin Zhen suddenly lunged forward, his figure flickering twice mid-air before he instantly reached the presence of the swordsman.

“You’re courting death~! Breaking-the-Dimensions Slash!”

With both hands wielding his sword, the swordsman created a burst of sword light so fierce that it was unparalleled, aiming to bisect Lin Zhen with one single slash!

Facing his opponent’s powerful attack, Lin Zhen exploded with Star Power from his Dantian. For the first time, Lin Zhen took out his Yin-Yang Spear and used Comet Fall to face his adversary~!

The Star Power between the two was nearly balanced. After more than ten minutes of evenly matched confrontation, Lin Zhen finally seized the opportunity. At the cost of being injured, Lin Zhen drove the swordsman out of the arena with a single spear thrust.

The match seemed like a close call, with both competitors on an even keel. The defeat and victory were too close to call.

After defeating the swordsman, the prize money in the pool reached 8 billion!

“After defeating this man, based on past experience, that young man from the Royal family will probably show up in a few days.”

Lin Zhen knew that he could not stay in the Star System Arena for much longer.

His medicine was nearly fully digested, in another month or so he should be able to advance to the rank of the World King.

From this battle, it appeared to others that Lin Zhen exposed all his cards to barely claim victory. Thus, when the young Royal family member arrives, he is expected to take all the prize money.

Lin Zhen found two martial artists at the Star System Stage, utilizing Soul Lock to make them work for him. He then transferred the money to his bank card.

Lin Zhen now had nearly 30 billion in cash, giving 8 billion to one person and 16 billion to another.

These two people alternated their challenges over the course of two days, resulting in Lin Zhen’s total pool amount reaching 320 billion!

Lin Zhen estimated, within three days, the member of the Royal family will surely appear!

Whoever defeats him, he will make him cough up everything in a single time!

“Master, someone in Dimensional Universe is calling you. It’s Miss Su Shanna.”

Greatly delighted, Lin Zhen immediately connected to Su Shanna’s message.

“Elder Lin, congratulations, we finally managed to acquire the Vermilion Bird blood you asked for. The seller has asked for 3 billion, should we buy it?”

“Of course, buy it even if it’s for 3 billion.”

Lin Zhen ended the connection with the Dimensional Universe and went to the Guild counter.

Su Shanna handed a bottle of red blood to Lin Zhen, who carefully placed it in his Space Ring.

“This is for you.” Lin Zhen handed a 10 million bonus to Su Shanna, which instantly made the young woman smile brightly.

“Elder Lin, the business at your store hasn’t been so good recently yet you’re still so generous. You truly are a good person.”

Recently, Gu Yunting had launched his new elixir.

The Ancient Alchemy recipe had successfully been developed by him, and the elixir was named Divine Power Pills.

The special effect of this elixir is to stimulate a person’s Star Power in a short period, resulting in a quarter increase in their power.

This effect has a time limit, only lasting for ten short minutes and later causing a month-long weakness period in which their Star Power will decrease by a quarter.

However, even with only ten minutes, the ability to instantly elevate an individual with 800,000 Star Power to 1 million Star Power, was enough to change many outcomes.

After the appearance of Divine Power Pills, nearly everyone went to buy them, which naturally caused Lin Zhen’s business to decline a lot.

Moreover, Lin Zhen’s main body had been constantly cultivating, and only his clone was practicing Alchemy. There wasn’t any stock left, so naturally, there wasn’t much money to be made.

Lin Zhen smiled at Su Shanna: “Don’t worry about that, I still have enough to give you a bonus.”

With the blood of Vermilion Bird, Lin Zhen hurried back to his own residence.

Upon returning to the Alchemy room, Lin Zhen temporarily shut down the Dimensional Universe, and then started refining the Four Spirits Pill.

He took out the blood of the four divine beasts – Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. The already-prepared ingredients were also taken out, and Lin Zhen started the pill furnace.

The clone was by the side of his main body, assisting Lin Zhen while also serving as a guard.

As long as the Four Spirits Pill was refined, Lin Zhen’s clone would be able to unlock the first Divine Needle, and his Star Power would shoot up to 3 Million~!

“Hahahaha~! Brother Ke, I’ve been looking forward to your arrival.”

Inside the Tengtian Tower, Gu Yunting joyfully greeted a visitor.

Ke Jianglong had an exhausted look on his face, and he appeared much older than he did centuries ago.

He was over nine thousand years old. Having crossed the Heavenly Gate rather early in life, he had had the time and opportunity to challenge the Longevity Realm. However, Zhuiyue, a great god, suppressed him under the Heavenly Gate for more than seven hundred years, making him miss the best opportunity to break through.

Now, with his life running out, he hardly has any chance to break through the limit of the World King and advance to the Longevity Realm.

He didn’t have the courage to settle scores with Zhuiyue, so he directed all his resentment towards Lin Zhen.

So when Gu Yunting contacted him, he immediately agreed to come.

However, the Original World was too vast, and he didn’t have much money. It was only because Gu Yunting had funded him with several billion in cash that he was able to make the trip here from tens of millions of light years away, in Xianle County, within a year.

“Where is Lin Zhen?” Ke Jianglong asked straightforwardly.

“Brother Ke, there’s no rush. Lin Zhen is in the Alchemist Guild. It’s not a good idea to take action there.”

Ke Jianglong took a couple of sips of tea: “Then what should I do?”

“Don’t worry, I will invite Lin Zhen out. You just need to prepare your ambush and take action.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for your message!”

Aura of murderous intent was visible in Ke Jianglong’s eyes, which made Gu Yunting slightly wary. The Star Power of Ke Jianglong was definitely more formidable than his own, probably around three million!

**********

In the Pill Furnace, the flame was burning fiercely. Sweat dripped from Lin Zhen’s forehead, and he didn’t even have time to wipe it off.

One by one, auxiliary medicinal materials were added until the Four Spirits Pill was finally formed.

His hands were waving in the air, drawing a mysterious trajectory as a pure and cold air was infused into the Pill Furnace.

The temperature of the flame fell sharply, and the Pill Furnace was opened~!

A round golden pill appeared in Lin Zhen’s hand.

The golden pill was covered in a dense array of crimson lines, containing a massive amount of vital energy.

“It’s done~!”

Lin Zhen was delighted. This pill could completely satisfy the Bloodthirsty Divine Needle and drain its power, allowing him to remove it from his double’s body.

His double, sitting next to him, took the golden pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Just when this happened, Lin Zhen’s Dimensional Universe rang out.

“Master, there is a call for you from within the Dimensional Universe. It’s Elder Wang from the Guild.”

Lin Zhen pondered a bit. Elder Wang was the one who had competed with him for the Ancient Alchemy Recipe at the auction, so they knew each other.

In fact, having been in the Xianle County Guild for many years, Lin Zhen was a senior elder. Although his grade was just at the beginning of the fifth rank, his Ice and Fire Divine Pills were selling like hot cakes, so virtually all the elders knew him, and they were fairly courteous to him.

Unsure of what Elder Wang wanted from him, Lin Zhen answered the call from the Dimensional Universe.

“Hahaha~! Elder Lin, you’ve been in retreat lately. Are you researching some miraculous pills to make another fortune?”

“Elder Wang, you’re overpraising me. If miraculous pills were that easy to develop, I wouldn’t be running a small pharmacy in the Guild every day.”

“Oh~! Elder Lin, you’re too humble. Who in the Guild doesn’t know you’re a big fat cat, the richest among us elders! Your small pharmacy makes a fortune every day.”

Lin Zhen merely laughed without saying a word. These words were meaningless, and the man was likely going to get to the point.

Indeed, Elder Wang changed the subject: “Elder Lin, I recently obtained an ancient, incomplete alchemy recipe. I’ve been studying it behind closed doors for several days without making any progress, so I thought I’d find a few like-minded friends to jointly research it. When the recipe is successfully studied, we can split the profits. I thought of you first, Elder Lin, haha! Are you interested in exploring it together?”

Upon hearing Elder Wang’s words, Lin Zhen was taken aback for a moment before he scoffed.

An ancient, incomplete alchemy recipe, for joint research? Nonsense!

Even incomplete ancient alchemy recipes, all alchemists treasure them like their life, never willing to let others, especially their peers, take even a glimpse of them. To talk about joint research like this is simply treating Lin Zhen like a three-year-old child.

But, if the other party said so, then his intentions should be questioned.

Unsolicited favors often come with ill intentions!

Lin Zhen thought for a moment. If it were only Elder Wang, regardless of his conspiracy, Lin Zhen would not be afraid, as Elder Wang was just a World King, who he could wipe out with the wave of a hand.

And he didn’t believe the other party would be so reckless, so there was only one possibility.

That was Gu Yunting ready to make a move.

Gu Yunting used to be the president of the Alchemist Guild. Both Huangfu Qi and Thomas used to be his subordinates, and he must still have confidants in the Guild.

Elder Wang was probably one of them, so Lin Zhen immediately asked, “Should we go to your alchemy room?”

“No, my alchemy room is full of apprentices. I don’t want them to catch on. Let’s go to my shop first. It’s quieter there. As you know, my shop barely does any business because of your shop.”

Lin Zhen chuckled: “Alright. After I finish my current task, we can meet tonight.”

“Okay, I will contact you tonight.”

Elder Wang hung up the call from the Dimensional Universe, leaving Lin Zhen with a solemn expression.
