Immortality and Cultivation: Starting with Harvesting the Talents of Demonic Beasts

Chapter 47 The dust has settled
"you……"

Upon hearing the words, the princess quickly pushed her cup back onto the table and looked at Lin Changheng with a hint of shame and indignation.

This time she was genuinely embarrassed, without the slightest hint of it.

From childhood to adulthood, she was a pampered and privileged princess, and never dared to let any man get close to her. Now that she has entered the path of immortality and severed ties with the mortal world, she still hasn't had too much contact with men.

Lin Changheng was the only one, but he was also polite and respectful.

Now, however, I've inadvertently shared a cup of tea with the male cultivator before me. Isn't this tantamount to indirectly...

No no no!

The usually quick-witted and calm Tantai Feiyue was slightly flustered in the face of the unprecedented separation between men and women.

Driven by malice, he abruptly stood up, placed his hands on the stone table, and approached Lin Changheng, forcing a fierce expression, his fingertips almost digging into the stone: "You... if you dare to tell anyone about what happened today—"

Suddenly realizing that their noses were only three inches apart, Lin Changheng's warm smile was clearly visible in the sunlight, but the weak threat in the second half of his sentence was stuck in his throat.

"I promise you, I will never tell anyone about what happened today."

Lin Changheng stopped smiling and nodded seriously.

The princess was relieved and nodded proudly, clearly quite satisfied with Lin Changheng's response. However, her ears still felt slightly hot. After sitting for a while, she took her leave.

Lin Changheng simply laughed it off.

……

Lin Changheng checked his assets, including pills and spirit stones, and found them to be quite substantial.

The storage bag, which had shrunk after purchasing a mid-grade magic weapon and a low-grade magic weapon, has swelled up again after selling genuine pills.

There are more than four hundred.

The number of high-quality pills on his body has increased from more than three hundred to more than six hundred and seventy!
This excludes the portion that Lin Changheng used for his own cultivation and the portion he exchanged with Tantai Feiyue.

However, it must still be mentioned that the number is enormous.

They also had to acquire thirty or forty [Spirit-Locking Talismans] through various channels and stick them on the wooden box to ensure that the medicinal power of the pills would not be lost.

"Now that we have the Earth Escape Technique, we can try going out and selling some of these premium pills."

"Accumulating too much wealth is not necessarily a good thing..."

This was the first time Lin Changheng had considered going out.

In addition,

It is worth mentioning that after Lin Changheng broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, the speed at which he refined medicinal power more than doubled, and the efficacy of the premium [Crimson Flame Pill] also decreased accordingly.

After all, the mid-stage of Qi Refining corresponds to a mid-grade first-tier pill. Genuine low-grade pills have very little effect, and only high-quality pills still have a decent effect, but even those are only half the original grade.

Therefore, Lin Changheng increased his monthly cultivation intake to five high-quality pills to barely maintain his previous cultivation speed.

The difference in rank is undeniable.

Fortunately, the high-quality pills contain very few impurities and toxins. In addition, Lin Changheng discovered that the "Clarity" realm of the [Detoxification Technique] can suppress the toxins, and the "Ascending to Truth" realm can even refine the impurities.

Only then did I feel safe to take it.

But this can't go on forever; the key is to refine high-quality pills from mid-grade pills as soon as possible.

However, the path to intermediate-grade alchemy is indeed complex.

The process involves a series of steps, including starting the fire, heating the furnace, adding the medicine, washing and refining, liquefying, combining the medicine, refining, condensing the elixir, and taking the elixir.

The alchemical formulas involved are even more complex, with three core steps requiring more than 120 different formulas.

In other words, to refine a mid-grade first-level pill, you need to apply about 800 strokes in total!
Nearly three times the amount of a low-grade elixir!
Moreover, the key alchemical formulas are even more complex and obscure, sometimes even causing Lin Changheng to scratch his head in frustration.

Therefore, his attempt to refine a mid-grade pill was temporarily stalled at the last moment.

He had consulted Master Mo before and received some inspiration and guidance, but it was not appropriate to ask again at this crucial moment.

On the one hand, there is the need to keep the progress confidential, and on the other hand, it may put Master Mo in a difficult position.

After all, he had only been an apprentice under his tutelage, and might not be willing to teach him everything he knew.

Fortunately, the [Original Treasure Seed] is about to be formed!
[Spirit Stealing: 94/100] With increased comprehension, everything will inevitably be resolved.

……

Half a year has passed by in a flash.

Two major events have occurred in the outside world.

Outside the desolate valley, the Xu family and the Chen family were locked in a fierce battle. The Xu family had gained a significant advantage, while the Chen family, despite their obvious signs of defeat, remained calm.

Instead, they charged forward and entangled the Xu family cultivators.

This is extremely unusual.

Just then, a group of cultivators suddenly flew in from a distance.

Loud.

They were also wearing robes embroidered with the Chen family crest.

However, an elder of the Xu family recognized that the leader was none other than Qiu Changhe, a cultivator from the Qiu family of Feiyun Valley. He had a full beard and was a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator. He summoned his magic weapon and his gaze was indifferent.

The newly established Foundation Establishment family! The Qiu family!
As expected, at the request of the Chen family, they disguised themselves as Chen family cultivators and tried to intervene!

"Hahaha, you all deserve to die today, and the Xu family will also suffer a heavy blow!"

The Chen family elder, who was in the late stage of Qi Refining, was so excited that he laughed and shouted wildly, finally having waited for this moment.

He wanted to demoralize the Xu family army, cause them to reveal weaknesses, and then launch a counterattack.

However, the Xu family cultivators, upon hearing and witnessing this scene, did not panic excessively. Instead, it startled the late-stage Qi Refining elder, who immediately felt a sense of foreboding growing within him.

"Swish! Swish swish!..."

The next instant, a series of loud whooshing sounds came from behind the Xu family.

Then, a group of cultivators bearing the Xu family insignia rushed out from behind the mountain peak, disregarding the battlefield and with a clear objective: to directly confront the Qiu family's team from Feiyun Valley.

"Liu Yunlang!"

Qiu Changhe raised his hand to stop the group's advance, confronting the newcomer across the distance, while simultaneously calling out a name with a grim expression.

"Qiu Changhe? No, he's wearing Chen family clothes. He should change his name to Chen Changhe."

Liu Yunlang also stopped the group, and unlike his scholarly appearance, his words were sharp and sarcastic.

And the other side.

The Chen family elder's face was gloomy. "The Liu family of Linghu Mountain? The Liu family with two Foundation Establishment cultivators! Damn it, when did the Xu family get involved with the Liu family without a word?"

He didn't have time to think about it, and no one could answer him, because a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator from the Xu family had already come forward to fight him.

After a fierce battle, the Chen family elder was about to run out of magical power and could not hold on any longer. He immediately turned his head to look, hoping that the Qiu family would take action, but what he saw made his eyes widen in horror.

Qiu Changhe turned and fled without looking back, refusing to exert any effort and disregarding everything else.

The entire Qiu family cultivators followed suit, abandoning their promise and leaving the Chen family cultivators, who had fought valiantly, standing there dumbfounded.

"Hahaha!"

The response was Liu Yunlang's loud laughter, followed by the Liu family cultivators joining the battle, and the Chen family suffered a crushing defeat.

Except for a few who escaped, almost all of them died, leaving behind pairs of unwilling eyes that died with resentment.

Thus, the Xu family occupied the valley and named it "Juechen Valley," bringing an end to the long-running war.

They also announced that half of the profits would be given to the Liu family who had established their foundation.

This is one of the most important things.

……

Another major event is:
The Chen family of Zifeng Bay, who had suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, suddenly encountered a raid on their base one night.

They broke through the great formation, and the entire clan was wiped out.
