Chapter 517: Double Dan Breakthrough, Old Friend Returns

"Is this the voice of the leader?"

Master Zhan Kong also heard it nearby and asked curiously.

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord stood there ugly, motionless like a standing posture, with his two bony palms clenched tightly in his wide sleeves.

My heart has been boiling with resentment for a long time!
I worked so hard to make a magic weapon for you, and now I have to find elixirs for you. I'm not a babysitter, am I?

Lin Shan had already anticipated that if he gave him benefits now, he would definitely not be so serious about finding the elixir next time he was asked to do so.

Because refining magic weapons is a big deal, and finding elixirs is neither big nor small.

The former can ask for a high price, but the latter, the Black Skull Demon Lord himself knows that he is not worthy of the soul source, so he lacks motivation.

Now that they are tied together, it has a reason to be motivated to do its best.

"The leader asked me to find him a pill that can help him break through the bottleneck of the early stage of the golden elixir. Isn't this embarrassing for me? How can this thing be so easy to find?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord spends all day searching for ancient sect artifacts. Of course, he doesn't have any connections or channels, so he might have to try his luck at high-end trade fairs in major immortal cities.

After hearing this, Master Zhan Kong wisely did not respond, but turned around and slipped away quietly, fearing that the Black Skull Demon Lord would drag him along to look for him.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the leader's talent was terrifying. It had only been a short time and the young man's golden elixir was about to break through again. It was too fast!

In the future, I am afraid that he will really be able to break through regional restrictions and become a new generation of giant in the State of Lu.

The Black Skull Demon Lord was thinking a lot, his mind was full of how to find medicine for Lin Shan, and he didn't even notice when Master Zhan Kong left.

After Lin Shan gave the instructions, he began to improve his Soul Pill Stage cultivation.

The Soul Pill Stage and the Golden Pill Stage complement each other, and the two need to advance hand in hand to complement each other, otherwise they will drag each other down, and it will not lead to 'kidney deficiency' but 'spiritual atrophy'.

Fortunately, this time he obtained enough resources to lay a solid foundation for himself to break through to the middle stage of Jindan, so the soul pill can break through first.

He took out the soul source passed down from across the world by the Immortal Book Master, a stone slab the size of a washbasin, gray and transparent, colorless and odorless.

He cut the pieces into finger-sized pieces, and when he felt that they were enough for his needs from the early to middle stage of the Soul Pill, he put the rest back into the storage space.

By the way, I collected the pinch of powder that fell out during the cutting process and put it into a small bottle, ready to give it to the Black Skull Demon Lord after he finished his job.

He never forgets Lao Hei when there are leftovers. He is indeed a good leader.

This retreat was quite long.

I haven't left my house for ten years.

The training room was always calm and without any sound. But one day, an invisible ripple spread from the room, spread to the outside, and covered the entire cave.

"Flutter~~"

A flock of birds and various insects and ants on the ground were startled and all of them scrambled to escape under the pressure of this soul.

"Om~"

All the soul pressure disappeared, and an echo was heard between the tiles, as if nothing had happened just now.

after awhile.

"Squeak~"

Lin Shan pushed open the door of the training room, and the dust removal formation in the cave started to work automatically. In the blink of an eye, a wave of light passed by, and all the fallen leaves and dust in the yard were swept away.

He adjusted himself to the light a little, then looked up at the distant sky.

Then he looked away and saw a jade box on the stone table in the yard.

He waved his hand and sucked it in. After opening it, an enamel bottle appeared and a flat round pill poured out of it.

【Red pulp Dan】

Quality: Baodan

Introduction: The melon seeds of the fourth-level spiritual fruit 'Red Flesh Melon' are the main ingredient, and cooked with spiritual fire. It has the effect of breaking through the bottleneck of Jindan period. The breakthrough rate of the bottleneck in the early Jindan period is 20%, the breakthrough rate of the bottleneck in the middle Jindan period is 10%, and the breakthrough rate of the bottleneck in the late Jindan period is 30% (cannot be stacked).

Enhancement required: 64 points

"Red melon?"

Lin Shan was puzzled. Aren't all melons red in flesh? Is there something different about this melon?
Melon seeds can actually be used as the main ingredient for the bottleneck elixir in the Jindan period.

He was only slightly curious and had no intention of ordering a search. Anyway, he didn't have any alchemists under him, nor did he have the recipe for the Red Flesh Pill, nor did he know which alchemist invented it.

If the reinforcement panel says it is useful, then it is useful.

The initial bottleneck assistance is 20%, and the mid-term bottleneck assistance is 10%, both of which are considered to be powerful.

By the late stage of Jindan, the probability of that 30% being less than 1% is really useless.

As for how the Black Skull Demon Lord found him and what price he paid, he didn't need to worry about it at all, and he had no interest in knowing.

There was a sound transmission talisman under the jade box, which, after being activated, sounded like the Black Skull Demon Lord asking for credit and reward.

Lin Shan placed the bottle of soul source powder into the jade box and returned it to the skeleton intact.

In addition to it, there was also a report letter from the general manager Lu Xiuming to him.

Before the retreat, it was agreed that if he encountered any problems, he could just go to the two Jindan stage elders and not trouble himself.

But Lu Xiuming still handed it in, which means that the Black Skull Demon Lord and Master Zhankong could not make the decision on this matter.

After he opened the package and took a look, he found that things were not that simple.

Eight years ago, Zhong Shenxiu from Bailu Academy and Shui Bingyue from Jingyang Academy sent people to invite Lin Shan to the central region of Lu for a chat!
As for what they were talking about, the messenger didn't say anything, and didn't even leave a letter, so no one knew what they were thinking.

Lin Shan frowned, he almost forgot about these two geniuses from the forbidden area on the cliff.

Counting on my fingers, it has been nearly thirteen years since I came out of the forbidden area on the cliff.

Eight years ago, wasn't it the 'Two Kun Years'?

Zhong Shenxiu, Shui Bingyue and others who were trapped in Xiaoyi Island finally tried to cross the void and return to the main world.

How they returned and whether they brought anyone back is unknown to others.

But what Lin Shan can be sure of is that if Zhong Shenxiu and Shui Bingyue can return safely, then there is no reason why his good brother, Young Master Jiuyou, cannot come back.

After they came back, they all knew that they had already consumed the thousand-year-old spiritual milk in their bodies, and now they still had the reed jade stalactite in their hands.

If it is the thousand-year-old magical milk, I will definitely grab it at all costs.

As for the Lu Yu Stalactite, it is not worth making a big fuss after coming out. After all, the Lujiang League is not small in size. If I don't rely on the power of the sect, my eldest brother and third brother alone will not be able to do anything to me.

After Shui Bingyue returned to Jingyang Academy, in order to guard against Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou from tripping her up, she spread the news about the Chaos Insect Void Butterfly everywhere, and naturally she did not dare to take it back from Lin Shan.

For safety reasons, Xiaodie had no choice but to continue following Lin Shan in secret.

Their experiences in the forbidden area of ​​the cliff and Xiaoyi Island were not widely circulated in the cultivation world of Lu State. Everyone was very tight-lipped and seemed to have some reservations.

Even when sending a message to Lin Shan, he only sent someone to deliver a verbal message, not wanting to leave any evidence.

After reading Lu Xiuming's report, Lin Shan threw it aside without paying any attention to it.

Do you want me to go to the central region to meet with them in person?
What is there to say?
Why?
This master is very busy!

Love whoever you want, I won’t go! Then he turned around and returned to the practice room for retreat.

After breaking through the middle stage of Soul Pill, he became top-heavy again. He always felt as if his soul power was about to overflow, and even the Essence Lock could not hold it.

Fortunately, when he returned to the Song Dynasty this time, he obtained the treasure from the garden of the Queen of the Jianjia Demon.

【Pengqiu Corn】

Quality: Fourth-level spiritual object

Introduction: The spiritual grains raised by the Jianjia Demon King have become spirits. The corn cobs they breed themselves have jade grains that can be eaten to improve cultivation, slow down the aging of the appearance, strengthen the resistance of the internal organs, and can also be used to detoxify.

Enhancement required: 64 points

Those two corn spirits gave him two gifts at once!

Afterwards, at the gathering of all demons, the Jianjia Demon King did not take it back for the sake of the face of the three demon kings and the Peacock King, so it was considered a good deal for him.

Lin Shan didn't hesitate. He plucked the corn kernels one by one and started eating them, refining them as he ate. It was much more comfortable than taking drugs. It was pure natural with no additives, and there was no such thing as erysipelas or drug resistance. His cultivation level increased rapidly.

Normally, when cultivators take drugs to practice, they usually have a cycle for taking the drugs, which is the same as a course of treatment. They cannot take the drugs for a long time, and there must always be a buffer interval.

There is no such limitation for spiritual food. As long as you refine it fast enough, there is no problem eating corn every day.

Lin Shanjia's spiritual roots, coupled with the purification of his blood, have an incredibly fast refining efficiency, which is naturally unmatched by others.

However, no matter how good Pengqiu corn is, it is far inferior to a treasure like Soul Source.

The time accumulated in the early stage of the Golden Core Stage was twice as long as the time spent in the last stage of the Soul Core Stage, and it took another full twenty years!

Twenty years. If it were an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator, he would complete the accumulation in just twenty years with a lifespan of four hundred years. I'm afraid he would laugh with joy in his dreams!
But if it was Lin Shan, he wouldn't feel that kind of joy.

But there is a hint of melancholy.

Because his youthful golden elixir was finally gone, and in the blink of an eye he had become a young man again.

When he was in the forbidden area on the cliff, the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk added 180 years to his lifespan. He didn't drink much of the Reed Jade Stalactite, so the life-extending effect was negligible.

According to the calculation of 580 years, a normal person reaches adulthood at the age of 16, which should correspond to 93 years old for me.

Now, I have been in seclusion for thirty years, and I have grown from seventy-eight years old to one hundred and eight years old!

Return to youth.

"The young man's golden elixir is indeed like a flash in the pan, and cannot be maintained for long."

Lin Shan sighed and collected his thoughts.

He had anticipated this. One's appearance will eventually age. It is said that even the immortals in heaven are not immune to this!
All drugs that delay aging and beautify the skin are only temporary.

Only the erosion of time and years is eternal and irreversible.

If you want to regain your youth, you must keep working hard and change your destiny!

"It doesn't matter. Youth is youth."

Lin Shan didn't have any obsession with this.

In the past, he flaunted his youthful appearance everywhere, which actually didn't fit in with his low-key nature. Now that he has turned back into a young man, he is no longer so conspicuous.

Having said that, the Young Golden Elixir also has its advantages.

There are so many forces in the Lujiang League, and the reason why they were willing to follow him was not only because of their strength, but also because they were optimistic about his future potential.

At the Luosong Mountains, the three demon kings and the second generation of demons also believed that the young man had a master in the Nascent Soul stage because of his appearance.

Over in Dali Nanman, Master Jinglin of Linyuzhai did not expose him for pretending to be Lei Fengzi, and the two heroes of Jinhuan in Yushou Valley were willing to help him study beetles, all because of the high value of the boy's golden elixir.

To a certain extent, the more your talents are revealed, the more likely you will be favored by goodwill. Everything has two sides.

However, he had to keep a low profile from now on, especially when heading to the Demonic Kingdom. He would try not to be too much in the spotlight if possible.

The evil path is different from the righteous path. There are many people who dislike you, and it is very likely that most of them are malicious.

Now that the cultivation level of the initial stage of the Golden Core has reached its peak, the breakthrough should not be delayed any longer.

Take out the 'Red Flesh Pill' that the Black Skull Demon Lord found.

You can't gamble with a 20% chance, if you want to break through you have to gamble big!

"strengthen!"

ka ka ka-

This pill had cracks on it, and red light emanated from the inside out, dazzling and enchanting, as if some mysterious substance was transforming it.

Special factors appeared in the void for no reason, water spirit in the air also gathered together, and a sweet and refreshing fragrance wafted to the face.

Lin Shan stretched out his hand, trying to grab those mysterious factors, but to no avail. Small blue dots penetrated his palm and entered the pill.

He mobilized his spiritual consciousness again, trying to penetrate into the elixir to observe the evolution process, but was blocked by the mysterious rules.

In less than a blink of an eye, the pill was instantly strengthened.

First it expands and then shrinks, and all the cracks gather together and disappear.

The size and color are still the same, but the description of the enhancement panel has changed.

【Red pulp elixir】

Quality: Elixir

Introduction: Water-based elixir, made from seeds of the fifth-order mutant spiritual fruit 'Red Flesh Melon' as the main ingredient, slow-cooked with spiritual fire, it can improve the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, while increasing the breakthrough rate of the bottleneck in the early Golden Core stage by 90%, the breakthrough rate in the middle Golden Core stage by 70%, and the breakthrough rate in the late Golden Core stage by 30% (not stackable).

Enhancement required: 128 points

Lin Shan was not surprised. After all, he had spent 64 points of ancient rhyme to strengthen it. If it still couldn't help him break through to the early stage of Jindan, it would be too useless.

This elixir has a vague spirituality. It rotates and floats in the air, continuously absorbing the surrounding water spirit to maintain its own vitality.

If it is left in the wilderness and no one comes to take it away, it will become desertified and rotten and lose its function even after thousands of years.

Because this is a elixir with its own spirituality!
It can be self-sufficient and maintain its peak state at the moment it comes out of the oven!
Lin Shan himself has accumulated a lot of experience, and with this pill, his success rate for breakthrough is not 100%, but basically as long as there are no major mistakes, it is unlikely to fail.

Without any hesitation, after practicing for so long, it was the best time for him to enter the best state of concentration, so he swallowed the pill in one gulp.

It turns into a warm current and goes straight to the Dantian acupoint.

"Pumppump!"

The golden elixir in the body spins rapidly, absorbing this huge medicinal property, and cooperating with the potential released by opening up the mysterious gate of the human body, it begins to evolve from the inside out.

The time of this breakthrough is the same as the original one.

Lasted for exactly ninety-nine and eighty-one days!
Wait until the elixir is ready.

Clear and bright blue clouds jumped out directly from above his head, and as a semi-living creature, it automatically upgraded its level. Both its defense and speed also improved slightly.

Lin Shan opened his eyes, feeling the powerful magic power flowing through his body, the brilliance burst out and then retracted.

The middle stage of golden elixir.
