Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 235: Gathering Strength and Rising
"Master, people with immortal roots are rare. It is already the limit for Sunset County to be able to find these people." Zhao Yu replied.
"Forget it, forget it. You can go back." The immortal master waved his hand.
"Thank you for your understanding, Master." Zhao Yu bowed respectfully, then turned around and left with his men.
After listening to the conversation, Lin Qianxing seemed to understand something in his heart.
These people are actually looking for people with spiritual roots in order to refine the so-called immortal essence?
Spiritual roots are gifts, and those who possess them naturally have certain special qualities in their bodies.
If they could refine these qualities, perhaps they would be able to shape spiritual roots for those who have no talent for cultivation.
Or do they want to use this to improve their own spiritual qualifications?
After sending Zhao Yu away, the old man in blue began to busy himself among the bottles and jars beside the cauldron.
After taking a look, Lin Qianxing quickly figured out what the other person was doing based on his behavior.
He is using chemical methods to extract some kind of essence.
Perhaps it is the so-called "immortal essence" contained in the spiritual roots.
Lin Qianxing, who was proficient in alchemy, observed for a while and found that his method was time-consuming and laborious, with a lot of waste, at least 70% loss.
This is an opportunity.
So that he doesn't have to end this trip early.
“Woo woo woo~!”
Lin Qianxing shouted and shook his body, hoping to attract the other person's attention.
The old man in blue ignored Lin Qianxing and focused on his own things. The other people who were also tied up on the side glanced at Lin Qianxing, but most of them had empty eyes and had obviously given up hope of living.
However, Lin Qianxing was not discouraged. He thought about it and summoned his own panel.
He looked at the adventure attribute of 0.2 and the free attribute points of 0.86.
With a thought, he added all his free attribute points to the adventure attribute.
In an instant, Lin Qianxing's adventure attribute reached 1.06.
At the same time, the old man in blue suddenly frowned and turned to look at Lin Qianxing: "Why are you arguing? If you continue to argue, I will throw you into the alchemy cauldron and refine you into liquid elixir."
Lin Qianxing was delighted and shook his head vigorously.
The old man in blue glanced at Lin Qianxing, walked up to him and took off the gag from his mouth.
"Wrong, wrong! We can't refine it like this, it will waste too much!" Lin Qianxing said quickly.
"Oh, you know how to make alchemy?" asked the old man in blue.
"I used to be an alchemy boy in Zixia Mountain. You should seal that bottle of extracted elixir quickly. It's such a waste!!" Lin Qianxing explained casually and then spoke out.
Hearing this, the old man in blue turned back to the alchemy cauldron and sealed the elixir. Then he asked Lin Qianxing, "You said there's something wrong with my refining method?"
"That's a big problem. You just want the essence in the elixir, but you have to know that the essence will evaporate. If you refine it like this, more than 50% will be wasted in the process." Lin Qianxing said.
"Then how do you think we should refine it?" asked the old man in blue .
"It's best to use a sealed glass container for high-temperature distillation and refining. If that doesn't work, you can wrap it with spiritual power and use the spiritual power to drive the flame to directly burn away the impurities." Lin Qianxing said.
Hearing this, the old man in blue couldn't help but frown.
As a latecomer, he had never heard of these two methods.
He had no idea how to make specific glassware. He did know a little about burning impurities with true fire, but his ability to control fire was average. He was afraid that the immortal essence he wanted would be burned out before the impurities were burned away.
"Can you?" asked the old man in blue.
"Of course, this is Dan Tong's basic skill!" Lin Qianxing said.
"Try?" The old man in blue said, "As long as you can do it, you will be my assistant from now on. I can spare your life and you won't have to refine immortal essence."
"Untie me." Lin Qianxing said confidently.
Hearing the sound, the old man in blue waved his hand, and a blade of air flew out, directly cutting off the shackles on Lin Qianxing's body.
This exquisite magic spell served as a deterrent, preventing Lin Qianxing from escaping at will.
Lin Qianxing pursed his lips, untied the shackles on his body, and walked to the table.
All five fingers of his right hand were broken by Zhao Yu, and now only his left hand can move. He really needs to be more serious this time, otherwise if he makes a mistake without paying attention he might lose his life.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Qianxing stretched out his left hand to pinch the mouth of the elixir bottle, opened the stopper with his thumb, then made a hand gesture with his left hand , and the elixir was instantly drawn and fell into the palm of his left hand.
Immediately, sparks flickered in Lin Qianxing's palms, and the spiritual power in his body turned into flames and rose up. The turbid elixir liquid was burned to become purer, until it finally turned into a ball of green transparent liquid, which was back into the elixir bottle by Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing closed the pill bottle with his left hand and said, "It's done."
During this process, the old man in blue noticed something strange about Lin Qianxing's right hand, but he didn't care. As long as he could use it, it was fine.
Immediately, the old man in blue opened the stopper of the pill bottle and checked it, and an expression of shock appeared visibly on his face.
Because this is at least three times more than the immortal essence he usually extracts.
If he gave so much immortal essence to the elder, how much reward would he get?
The breakthrough to the late stage of the Naqi Realm is just around the corner!
"You are very good, this old man is Tang Xuan. From today on, you will be my assistant." Tang Xuan nodded, and then said meaningfully: "Don't think about running away. This is a great opportunity. As long as you work hard, you will definitely benefit from it in the future."
Lin Qianxing understood clearly that there must be a bigger force behind Tang Xuan, and his power in Yunhai Country was definitely not small, otherwise the officials of Sunset County would not allow him to command them and help them do things.
However, although he thought this in his heart, Lin Qianxing remained calm on the surface.
Now he has to accumulate strength first. As long as he can survive, he will definitely have a chance.
"Go and deal with the elixir." Tang Xuan instructed Lin Qianxing.
"Okay." Lin Qianxing responded.
He immediately helped Tang Xuan to process the elixir.
It was evening. Tang Xuan added a fire to the alchemy cauldron. After looking around, he randomly picked a person and threw him into the cauldron.
This scene seemed to be not the first time it happened, so much so that the expressions of the remaining people on the scene did not change much.
There was a blazing flame in the alchemy cauldron, and Tang Xuan took out two pills and handed them to Lin Qianxing.
"This is a fasting pill. Eating one pill will keep you from feeling hungry for ten days." Tang Xuan said.
"Thank you, Master." Lin Qianxing said.
"No need, you and I are both cultivators, you can just call me Brother Daoist." Tang Xuan said.
"Thank you very much, Brother Tang." Lin Qianxing said readily.
Tang Xuan nodded and started fiddling with his bottles and jars again.
Lin Qianxing threw a fasting pill into his mouth. As the pill was digested, his hunger was instantly relieved.
Lin Qianxing could feel that this fasting pill was the concentrated essence of grains, and contained a lot of energy.
Lin Qianxing immediately allocated 90% of the energy to the plug-in.
Soon, a prompt appeared in front of Lin Qianxing.
[Hint: You have gained free attribute points * 0.01.]
[Hint: You have gained free attribute points * 0.01.]
…
Lin Qianxing remained calm and continued to refine the elixir for Tang Xuan. When his spiritual power was exhausted, he practiced to recover.
At night, Tang Xuan meditated and rested, and Lin Qianxing also entered a state of cultivation.
And just like that, the night passed.
There were 0.81 more free attribute points on Lin Qianxing's panel.
This is the effect of that Bigu Pill.
Lin Qianxing looked at his right hand, and with an idea in mind, he added all the 0.81 free attribute points to his physique.
The next moment, Lin Qianxing's physical attribute broke through to 4.09.
At the same time, the broken bones in his right hand began to heal rapidly. Lin Qianxing was worried that the bones might have grown out of place, so he took the initiative to adjust them with his left hand.
Although there was severe pain, Lin Qianxing's expression did not change much.
After so much experience, if nothing else, he is still very good at enduring pain.
After a while, Lin Qianxing's right hand almost recovered.
He moved around a bit and found that he still felt a little discomfort and there were some proliferating nodules at the fracture site, but other than that there was nothing serious.
Lin Qianxing took out the second fasting pill given to him by Tang Xuan and swallowed it directly into his mouth.
Then Lin Qianxing found Tang Xuan and said, "Brother Tang, the Bigu Pill you gave me yesterday seems to have been stolen by insects and ants..."
"Why are you so careless?" Tang Xuan frowned.
The fasting pills were not expensive, but they were troublesome to refine. He did not plan to stay here for long this time, so he only prepared ten pills in total.
Including the two Bigu Pills that Lin Qianxing took away, he now only has five Bigu Pills left.
However, Lin Qianxing's presence also accelerated his progress in refining immortal essence, and now he might not need to stay so long.
So Tang Xuan took out two more Bigu Pills and said to Lin Qianxing, "These are the only two I have. Be careful and don't lose them again."
"Thank you, Brother Tang." Lin Qianxing said.
In the evening, Tang Xuan took out the turbid elixir liquid from the cauldron, and then threw another person into the cauldron.
Lin Qianxing remained calm, but swallowed the third fasting pill and added all the 0.82 attributes he had just obtained to his physique.
The stronger his physique made Lin Qianxing look younger and stronger, and his hair even showed signs of turning black again.
Another day passed.
In the evening, Lin Qianxing swallowed the fourth pill of Bigu, and then he and Tang Xuan entered a state of sitting cross-legged and practicing.
At about the hour of Mao, Lin Qianxing opened his eyes.
He glanced at the physical attribute of 6.57 on the panel, and his eyes were filled with ripples.
Lin Qianxing stood up and slowly came to a place two meters away from Tang Xuan.
His footsteps made almost no sound throughout the entire process.
This is a strong control over oneself.
Suddenly, Lin Qianxing changed from extreme stillness to extreme movement. The power rose from his feet, from his waist up, and went straight into his palms. His heart beat violently, and his qi and blood flowed throughout his body, suddenly driving his torso to slap out with his palm.
Tang Xuan noticed something just before Lin Qianxing attacked, but Lin Qianxing's movements were too fast. Facing Lin Qianxing's sudden attack, he could only use crude techniques to mobilize his spiritual power to protect his body.
A layer of faint green spiritual light enveloped Tang Xuan's body.
But what’s the use of this?
Lin Qianxing's physique of more than six points plus his explosive attack could not be blocked by this spiritual power.
Bang!
Tang Xuan's spiritual power shield was instantly broken, and then he was hit in the chest by Lin Qianxing's palm. His body suddenly flew out and hit the mountain wall.
Phew~!
Blood mixed with internal organs was spurted out by Tang Xuan. He looked at Lin Qianxing in confusion, tilted his head and fell silent.
Until his death, he still couldn't understand why Lin Qianxing, an old man who looked like he was about to die, could easily break through his spiritual shield.
