Chapter 22 Retreat
The next day.
Lin Sheng woke up feeling refreshed. He glanced sideways at Lin Zhi, who was still sleeping, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
‘That’s an advantage for you little girl. ’
Thinking of the madness last night, Lin Sheng still had some unfinished thoughts. Some of the dual cultivation techniques passed down in the clan were indeed mysterious.
It's just a pity that Lin Zhi's cultivation level is too low. Even if he is nourished by Primordial Yin, it will not be of much help to him. On the contrary, his Primordial Yang has benefited Lin Zhi a lot.
Thinking of the trip to Secret Realm half a year later, Lin Sheng felt a huge pressure on his shoulders and pushed Lin Zhi beside him.
"Get up soon, don't go back to sleep."
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhi opened her eyes drowsily, propped herself up, and the spring light suddenly appeared under the quilt.
Lin Sheng showed a faint smile: "Today is an auspicious day, let's go to the new Cave Mansion."
. . .
The former central county government is now the stronghold of the Alliance of Hundreds of Clans. Compared to the bustle on the streets, the central stronghold is extremely silent, and the air is filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Walking to the entrance of the stronghold, there were two monks in black standing in front of the door. Their cultivation levels were in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
"Fellow Daoist, stop here. This is a forbidden area for the Alliance of Hundreds of Clans."
One of the monks in black spoke to stop them with a calm expression, while the other monk in black looked back and forth at Lin Sheng and Lin Zhi with scrutiny.
Lin Sheng smiled slightly and took out the Yisan Cave Mansion token from the storage bag: "I am a member of the Lin family of Dongxuan Peak."
After seeing the token with an indifferent expression, the monk in black took out a palm-sized circular mirror from his arms. As the magic power was poured into it, the mirror surface glowed slightly, converging into a ray and shining on the token.
After two breaths, the light disappeared and the round mirror returned to its normal appearance.
"Fellow Daoist, please come in, Yisan Cave Mansion is in the East District." The indifferent monk showed a dry smile.
Lin Sheng nodded slightly and led Lin Zhi straight into the station. After passing through the light film barrier of the door, the rich spiritual energy rushed towards his face.
The first thing you see is a small spiritual spring covering an area of two square meters in the formation. The spring water spurts upwards more than one meter high, and the rich spiritual energy is constantly emanating from the spring water.
"Is this the spiritual spring that the Hundred Clans Alliance moved to?"
Lin Sheng felt envious. If he could take a spiritual spring with him, he wouldn't have to worry about cultivation wherever he went.
"Daddy, the spiritual energy here is so strong." Lin Zhi's face turned red, and her brows were filled with excitement.
Since her double cultivation yesterday, there are vague signs of a breakthrough in her cultivation. If she practices here for a while, she might be able to break through to the third level of Qi Refining.
"The aura of this place is indeed very rich. It can be seen that in the eyes of the monks, there is no barren land at all. It only depends on whether you are willing or not."
Lin Sheng had a look of emotion on his face and was very happy in his heart.
The spiritual energy here is roughly as rich as the Rank One Middle Grade Spirit Vein. With the Spiritual Essence Pill, breaking through to Qi Refining 50% in half a year should be a sure shot.
"Come on, let's go to the Cave Mansion!"
Just after staying for a while by the spiritual spring, Lin Sheng felt a few prying eyes and immediately led Lin Zhi towards the east district.
The stronghold of the Hundred Clans Alliance is divided into three areas, namely north, east and west.
The North District is the meeting hall complex, the West District is the resting base for various ethnic groups, and the East District is the recently established Cave Mansion complex.
When the two came to the East District, they saw a large Cave Mansion complex, three rows and ten columns, which looked like tombs from a distance.
"Daddy, why do I think the Cave Mansion here looks like tombs?" Lin Zhi muttered softly.
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to be overheard." Lin Sheng turned his head and ordered, and then walked straight into the Cave Mansion complex.
A stone tablet is erected in front of each Cave Mansion with a serial number on it.
Lin Sheng didn't take a few steps before he saw the Cave Mansion with the B3 logo engraved on the stone tablet. Compared with the A-sequence Cave Mansion, the B-sequence Cave Mansion looked smaller in appearance.
‘I wonder if the spiritual energy will be affected? ’
Lin Sheng thought to himself, walked to the Cave Mansion and offered the token, and the formation surrounding the Cave Mansion immediately manifested a passage.
"It's actually covered with Rank One formation. It seems that the Alliance of Hundreds of Clans is really rich."
Lin Sheng clicked his tongue in surprise and took the lead to walk into the Cave Mansion.
Stepping up the stairs leading to the underground, and pushing open a stone door, the bright beads on the wall came into view.
The Cave Mansion is extremely bright, with a pond in the center in which several colorful koi carps are swimming leisurely.
The entire Cave Mansion covers an area of about 500 square meters. In addition to the retreat room, there is also a small medicine garden and an alchemy room.
Feeling the concentration of spiritual energy in Cave Mansion, Lin Sheng was very satisfied. The concentration of spiritual energy was no different from that around the spiritual spring.
"Daddy, there is earth fire in the alchemy room." Lin Zhi ran out of the alchemy room excitedly.
The earth fire no longer belongs to the order of ordinary fire, and is much more powerful than the fire spit out by the spirit fire toad holding the spirit stone in its mouth.
‘The Alliance of Hundreds of Clans is quite generous. ’
Lin Sheng was slightly surprised and took out a storage bag and threw it to Lin Zhi: "There are several prescriptions and medicinal materials in it. You can study more in your spare time."
Lin Zhi nodded excitedly, but right now she still had to focus on breaking through the third level of Qi Refining.
"From now on, you will practice in this hall. If there is nothing important, don't bother me."
Lin Sheng said and walked into the retreat room.
The spiritual energy in the retreat room is stronger than that in the Cave Mansion hall, but it is empty, without even a single decoration.
Seeing the small Spirit Gathering formations placed around him, Lin Sheng thought for a while and then used the golden light formation to cover the room.
There is always nothing wrong with being cautious.
Nowadays, due to the expansion of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, the Rank One golden light array can no longer completely cover it, so it has been honorably retired.
Lin Sheng sat cross-legged, first took out the hourglass bottle that recorded the time and put it aside, then took out six bottles of Spirit Pills one by one and checked them. There were ninety Spirit Pills in total, which was enough for the six months of practice.
I originally wanted to save the Spirit Pill for future practice in Black Rock City, but now my plan can't keep up with the changes. The aura of Cave Mansion is not bad at the moment, so I won't suffer too much if I take the Spirit Pill for practice.
Close your eyes and take a breath.
a long time.
Lin Sheng slowly opened his eyes, took out a Spirit Pill and swallowed it.
As he practiced the Qi-Entraining Technique, an invisible suction force emerged from Lin Sheng's body, and the spiritual energy in the room surged in, scrambling to get into his pores and gather into his meridians.
Normally, after inhaling the spiritual energy into the body, half of it will return to the heaven and earth.
Now under the effect of the Spirit Pill, another three-thirds of the five points of spiritual energy that had dispersed was trapped in the flesh and blood, and re-infiltrated into the meridians as time went by.
Cultivation takes no time.
One month later.
Lin Zhi slowly opened her eyes, feeling the fluctuations of Qi Refining's third-level cultivation in her body, and a look of joy appeared on her pretty face.
‘If it weren’t for my godfather’s help, I don’t know how long it would take to reach the third level of Qi Refining. ’
‘Really, why do you let people do those embarrassing poses? ’
Thinking of this, Lin Zhi's pretty face turned red, and she glanced at the retreat room with a guilty conscience, then took out the three-legged alchemy furnace from her storage bag and walked into the alchemy room.
‘I will definitely refine the Rank One elixir and surprise my godfather. ’
. . .
Two months later.
In the alchemy room, Lin Zhi looked nervously at the alchemy furnace in front of her, where four balls of medicinal liquid were slowly blending.
As a dazzling spiritual light appeared followed by a muffled sound, Lin Zhi quickly stepped forward to open the stove lid, and a faint medicinal fragrance hit her face.
Solitary room.
Lin Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of blood appeared in his eyes and then slowly disappeared. The spiritual energy fluctuations on his body were clearly at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
He lowered his head and glanced at the Spirit Pill bottles on the ground. Two of them were empty.
‘Krypton gold cultivation is fast, no wonder those big families are getting stronger from generation to generation. ’
Lin Sheng was filled with emotion and glanced at the time hourglass beside him.
‘Has it only been three months? It seems that my qualifications are quite good. ’
Lin Sheng felt secretly happy and stood up to leave the seclusion.
Cultivation of immortality requires a balance between work and rest. You cannot just practice hard, but you must relax and have fun appropriately.
‘Go and see how that little girl is practicing. ’
Lin Sheng convinced himself naturally.
. . .
"Did you make this elixir?"
Lin Sheng carefully observed the three blood-activating pills in his palm. The fragrance of the medicine was lighter, the size was smaller, and some impurities could be seen on the pills.
Lin Zhi nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with excitement.
After a while, Lin Sheng put away the pills with regret on his face: "According to my observation, these three blood-activating pills should be inferior pills. Although they seem to be refined and have some medicinal effects, they are not as effective as the real blood-activating pills." many."
Lin Zhi, who was originally excited, immediately looked depressed when he heard this.
But when this expression fell into Lin Sheng's eyes, he was hit hard. Even if it is an inferior elixir, it is still an elixir. Refining an inferior elixir means that the alchemy is successful.
Thinking about his three years of alchemy experience, and then thinking about Lin Zhi's three months of alchemy experience, Lin Sheng suddenly felt bad.
"Sure enough, hard work is nothing compared to talent."
"Huh? What are you talking about, godfather?" Lin Zhi looked confused.
"I'm just a little sentimental in my heart." Lin Sheng sighed slightly, and then said seriously: "You did a good job. Godfather's love for you is not in vain."
Lin Sheng deliberately emphasized the word 'pain', causing Lin Zhi's face to turn crimson immediately.
Looking at Lin Zhi who lowered his head, Lin Sheng's heart moved slightly. He didn't expect to actually cultivate an Alchemist, but he succeeded unintentionally.
‘Quasi Rank One Alchemist, it will definitely be a hot commodity when placed outside. ’
What is Rank One Alchemist? As long as you can successfully refine a batch of Rank One elixir, you are a Rank One Alchemist.
As the saying goes, one elixir can be used to cure hundreds of elixirs. As long as one elixir can be refined, it is only a matter of time before other elixirs of the same level can be refined.
"You know this and I know it, don't tell anyone, otherwise you will be killed, remember?"
Lin Sheng looked solemn and lifted Lin Zhi's chin.
A flash of panic flashed in Lin Zhi's eyes, and she nodded in panic.
'It's a pity that I don't know how to ban the curse. If this woman has two minds, she can't control it at all. ’
Lin Sheng sighed in his heart, but then he thought about it. He and Lin Zhi had known each other for a long time. If he really used the forbidden spell to control her, he might lose his love as a beautiful woman.
"How many pills are made in one furnace?" Lin Sheng said and pinched Lin Zhi's little face.
"Seventeen pills, fourteen of them are waste pills." Lin Zhi lowered her head in embarrassment.
Lin Sheng nodded slightly: "That's good. He was able to make three inferior elixirs in the first time. He is considered an outstanding talent."
"You can only tell me about the alchemy in the future. If you accidentally leak it out, you will be caught and imprisoned, and you will lose your freedom while refining the alchemy day and night."
"Zhi'er, remember this." Lin Zhi's face turned pale, obviously frightened.
Seeing Lin Zhi's timid look, Lin Sheng smiled mischievously and said, "Go and hold the alchemy furnace."
Lin Zhi was confused, but still obeyed and stepped forward to support the alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace was one meter high. Lin Zhi could only bend her waist, with a puzzled look on her face: "Daddy, what are you going to do?"
"Hmph, I'm going to be so angry that I'm going to be so angry!"
