C10 The secret of jade pendant
The moment Lin Yuan made a breakthrough in his Third Level of Qi Condensation, the spirit energy in his body instantly recovered. Furthermore, it was several times stronger than before. At the same time, an enormous amount of spirit energy automatically started to heal his damaged meridians and organs.
Zhang Hong, Guo Peng and Ma Qian were sent flying by the powerful aura. They never would have thought that Lin Yuan would suddenly break through when he was almost unable to hold on.
"This brat has already broken through the Third Level of Qi Condensation, we are no longer his match, let's go." Zhang Hong understood the difference between the first and third layer of Qi Condensation. If he didn't run away now, he would no longer have a chance to survive.
A cold killing intent flashed past Lin Yuan's eyes, he then slowly stood up and looked at the three people: "You want to leave? Is that possible? "
Lin Yuan would never show mercy when dealing with enemies. As he unsheathed his sword, a cold light flashed and before Zhang Hong and the other two could even be surprised, three heads rolled out on the ground.
At this time, he was regretting his decision to do something. Now, he had failed to snatch the Breaking Yuan Pill from Lin Yuan, and even lost his life here.
Lin Yuan raised his sword and descended, Li Ji's head also left his body. After keeping the storage bag s from the four people, he turned and left the cave.
After walking out of the cave, Lin Yuan did not go find Su Xiaoyu and Su Qing’er. Because the bodies of the four that she had been injured by had not recovered yet, and relying on the spirit energy in her body made it impossible to heal her internal injuries within a short period of time.
Therefore, Lin Yuan found another cave, planning to look for Su Qing’er and Su Xiaoyu after her injuries recovered.
Only after recuperating for three whole days did the injuries in Lin Yuan's body return to normal. In these three days, his cultivation had stabilized by a lot, and he was now in the early stages of the Third Level of Qi Condensation.
After finishing his cultivation, Lin Yuan could not help but let out a long sigh. The path of a cultivator was much more dangerous than the path of the martial arts world that he had walked before.
However, there was nothing he could do about it, because he had to become stronger for a reason. Every time he thought about the blood feud that happened more than ten years ago, Lin Yuan's heart would feel like it had been twisted by a blade.
As for the reason why the Lin Family had been exterminated, Lin Yuan had thought about it more than once. Although the Lin Family could be considered a powerful family in the martial arts world, in the eyes of the cultivators, they were nothing more than ants.
Lin Yuan could not understand why Yue Family would want to make a move against a common Jianghu Family. After all, the Lin Family had always kept a low profile and had never offended them.
After Lin Yuan thought about it, there was only one possibility, and that was to steal the treasure.
Lin Yuan thought until this point, his heart suddenly sank. Was it because of this jade pendant? This jade pendant that could undergo spatial transfer?
Lin Yuan quickly took out the jade pendant from his bosom. The jade pendant was completely jade and engraved with an unknown beast.
Previously, when Lin Yuan channeled his Qi into the jade, he was able to hide his Qi and teleport it to a radius of five kilometers. Now that he had cultivated Spirit Qi, he wondered what would happen if he infused it.
Lin Yuan had always been a person of action, so rather than making wild guesses, it was better to just experiment for a bit. After making up his mind, he slowly controlled the spirit energy to pour into the jade.
After the spirit energy had been poured in, the jade pendant in his hand suddenly flickered slightly, immediately after, Lin Yuan's vision turned black, and he appeared in a milky-white space.
Lin Yuan was startled, he looked around at his surroundings, only to see that everything was white and he was surrounded by pure white clouds.
"Is this not the space within the jade pendant?" Lin Yuan frowned and said to himself.
Just as Lin Yuan finished speaking, a huge golden cauldron appeared in front of him out of thin air. The body of the cauldron was engraved with numerous red auspicious clouds.
Lin Yuan looked at the golden cauldron that suddenly appeared, and was extremely shocked in his heart. This golden cauldron was something that only respected alchemists would have, could it be that the previous owner of this jade pendant was an alchemist?
Lin Yuan looked somewhat excitedly at the Golden Cauldron in front of him. He couldn't help but reach out his hands to stroke it, and after coming into contact with the Golden Cauldron, a book similar to a book suddenly rose up from within the Golden Cauldron.
The book slowly floated in front of Lin Yuan. On the front was the words "Great Ceremony of the Medicine God", and on the back was the words "Ten Thousand Medicinal Old Man".
Lin Yuan took the Great Ceremony of the Medicine God and slowly opened the first page. When he saw the content on the first page, his pupils abruptly constricted, and even his heart couldn't help but beat several times faster.
This was because on the first page was a pill formula. Although it was only a level 1 pill formula, it was enough to make Lin Yuan extremely excited, to the point that he had to thank the heavens.
One must know that alchemists were extremely precious in this world. If there was only one cultivator out of ten thousand, then there would only be one alchemist out of the hundred thousand.
The identity of an alchemist was a very important symbol. Even a Grade One Alchemist wasn't something an ordinary family could provoke because the pills they refined were simply too precious.
Just like Zhang Hong and the other three, in order to obtain a Breaking Yuan Pill, they did not hesitate to take the risk. They knew very well that they were in second layer of Qi Condensation, but they still dared to snatch it.
Lin Yuan flipped to the second page with extreme excitement. Just as he had thought before, it was also a page of pill formulas. After flipping through four to five pages in succession, he discovered that they were all pill formulas of first grade.
But when he reached the sixth page, Lin Yuan opened it no matter what, and that thin piece of paper seemed to be under the pressure of ten thousand kilograms of heavy stones. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to open it, seems like it was because his cultivation was too low.
But even so, Lin Yuan was already very satisfied, one must know that taking out any one of these five pill formulas would bring him a lot of wealth.
However, Lin Yuan was not that foolish. Such a precious pill formula could not be measured with money, it seemed that the Yue Family did not hesitate to exterminate all of their Lin Family, all for the sake of the Great Ceremony of the Medicine God in the jade pendant.
After closing the Great Ceremony of the Medicine God, with a thought, the Great Ceremony of the Medicine God disappeared from his hands. At the same time, the golden cauldron in front of him also disappeared.
Since he had the pill formulas, then Lin Yuan was definitely going to walk the path of an alchemist. It just so happened that he was in need of pills right now, since he didn't have the money to buy them, he might as well refine pills himself.
After making up his mind, Lin Yuan left the mountain range. When he returned to the city, he found out that the disciples of the Thousand Lightning Sect had long since left.
Lin Yuan did not plan to chase after them either. After counting all the things that he had found, he discovered that he had unknowingly become richer as well.
One hundred thousand gold coins. Thirty low-grade spirit stones. Twenty mid-grade spirit stones. In addition, there were also some spirit rank weapons. These were almost all things that belonged to the two white-clothed swordsmen and Zhang Hong.
Lin Yuan recalled one of the medicinal ingredients on the pill formula and estimated that all of them should be enough to purchase all the medicinal ingredients.
After arriving at the only medicine shop in the city, Lin Yuan listed out all of the required ingredients one by one. But who knew that some of the ingredients would be so expensive that they would scare people to death?
After leaving the pharmacy, Lin Yuan personally went to gather the herbs. Although it was very dangerous, but he did not have the money.
After making up his mind, Lin Yuan did not immediately enter the mountain range outside of the city. Instead, he stopped at a small town outside of the mountain range.
In a grocery store, Lin Yuan planned to buy a map of the mountain range, but the shop owner asked him: "Young Noble, are you going to adventure in the mountain range, or are you going to collect some medicinal ingredients?"
Lin Yuan looked at the shop owner in front of him, seeing that he did not have any hostility, he said indifferently: "I'm short on money recently, I'm planning to collect some medicinal ingredients to exchange for some gold coins."
Of course, Lin Yuan would not be so stupid as to tell others that he was an Alchemist. Although it would save him the trouble of looking for the medicinal ingredients, but it would bring about even more trouble.
Upon hearing that Lin Yuan was going to gather medicinal herbs, the boss of the grocery store said enthusiastically, "Young master, the mountain range is extremely dangerous, it will be difficult for you to walk out alive."
"I think you might as well wait for one more day. Tomorrow morning, a herb collecting team is about to enter the mountain range, and I heard that the person in the lead is a cultivator. They are currently recruiting, so you might as well give it a try."
Lin Yuan's heart moved, but he had always liked to act alone, so he opened his mouth and rejected: "Thank you for your kind intentions, Boss, I'm used to acting alone. Moreover, if I follow the herb collecting team, then I'll get fewer medicinal ingredients myself.
With that, Lin Yuan turned to leave, but the boss at the counter stopped him once again.
"Young Master, you may not know this, but I heard that the leader of the cultivators has a map of the herbs in his possession. Furthermore, it is said that all the herbs collected are divided equally, so I think it's best for you to go."
"Thank you for your advice, I'll wait one more day then." Lin Yuan cupped his hands, expressing his gratitude.
Since he had the map of the herbs, it would save him a lot of trouble. Otherwise, Lin Yuan would have to search for it himself, and not only would it waste time, it would be extremely dangerous.
The night passed in silence.
The morning of the second day, Lin Yuan arrived outside the town early in the morning, and at the same time saw the so called herb collecting team.
The herb collecting team was not small; they had nearly a hundred people. However, from the looks of it, they were martial artists from the mortal world. Not a single one of them was a cultivator.
"Yo ~ Little Brother, are you here to join the herb collecting team as well?" A burly man asked as he saw Lin Yuan walk towards them.
"Brat, Lin Yuan greets everyone. I wonder what rules the herb collecting team has. When do we set off?" Lin Yuan used the jade pendant to hide his own Qi, so as to not attract too much trouble.
"Hey, you're pretty polite." The muscular man said slowly after patting Lin Yuan on the shoulder.
"Actually there aren't any rules, as long as you listen to the orders, it will be fine. As for when we set off, I think it will be soon, we just need to wait for that Master Cultivator."
