Ling Chengxin said that seeing that the young cultivator's cultivation level was as high as the ninth Qi Training Ninth Layer Refining, he should indeed prepare Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object and try to break through to the Foundation Establishment.

Considering that his Lineage still had a considerable stock of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, and also because this person was selling a large number of Pill Formula formulas, he agreed to the matter.

"Thank you very much, senior. Please take a look at the alchemy manual first. We can discuss the matter of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object later," the young cultivator said excitedly.

His original plan was to wait for the market to hold an auction and then purchase Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object there.

Being able to purchase Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object so discreetly now saves him a lot of trouble.

After all, once you purchase Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object at an auction, there's a possibility it might acquire a different owner.

Ling Chengxin nodded slightly, and then he began to carefully look through the pill formulas recorded in the next few dozen pages of the pill Pill Formula.

Of those thirty-six first-tier Pill Formula, eighteen are of First Rank Low Grade, ten are of First Rank Middle Grade, and eight are of First-Tier Superior-Grade.

Among these twelve Pill Formula, there are six Second Rank Low Grade Pill Formula, three Second Grade Middle Rank Pill Formula, and two Second Rank High Grade Pill Formula.

Among these Pill Formula, only Pill Formula first-tier Pill Formula overlapped significantly with those in the Ling Clan's collection, namely the Yellow Sprout Pill, Qi Refining Pill, and other commonly available Pill Formula on the market.

Among the Second Rank Low Grade Pill Formula, three Pill Formula overlap with Pill Formula collected by the Ling Clan: the formulas for the Spirit Gathering Pill, the Spring Return Pill, and the Miasma Breaking Pill Formula.

The other grades of Pill Formula do not overlap with the Ling Clan's Pill Formula.

The remaining three Second Rank Low Grade Pill Formula that did not overlap with the Ling Clan Pill Formula were the "Beast Medicine Pill," "Beast Blood Pill," and "Nurturing Pill" Pill Formula used by Demon Beast.

Those three Second Grade Middle Rank Pill Formula are Second Grade Middle Rank "Demon Breaking Pill", "Beast Medicine Pill" and "Beast Blood Pill"Pill Formula.

Those two Second Rank High Grade Pill Formula are Pill Formula for refining Second Rank High Grade "Beast Foundation Pill" and "Beast Blood Pill".

"Beast Medicine Pill" are healing pills specifically for use by Demon Beast.

"Beast Blood Pill" is a kind of pill that enhances the bloodline concentration of Demon Beast. Each Demon Beast can only take one pill. After taking it, the increase in bloodline concentration depends on the Demon Beast's aptitude.

The "Beast Spirit Nurturing Pill" is a pill used to consolidate the breakthrough of Demon Beast's cultivation. If Foundation Establishment Realm Demon Beast has a Beast Spirit Nurturing Pill to help it after breaking through its cultivation level, it can save at least several months or even nearly a year of hard work in consolidating its cultivation.

"Beast Foundation Pill" is a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object that can only be consumed by Demon Beast. It can increase Demon Beast's Foundation Establishment probability by 15%.

"Adding to the previous Demon Breaking Pill, the Pill Formula recorded in this second-tier pill manual seem to be tailor-made for Demon Beast."

Such cases are rare. Normally, there are very few pills for demon Demon Beast, only Spirit Feeding Pill are more common.

Upon thinking this, Ling Chengxin's gaze suddenly blazed with fervor as he fixed it on the young cultivator who was selling alchemy manuals.

"Young friend, do you know if your ancestors passed down the Beast Taming Inheritance? If so, my Ling Clan can purchase it for ten thousand Spirit Stone, plus a Small Hundred Spirits Water and a Meridian Protecting Pill."

Upon hearing this, the young cultivator who sold the alchemy manual's eyes gleamed.

He does indeed possess a second-tier Beast Taming Inheritance Beast Taming Inheritance. He discovered this inheritance some time ago when he accidentally stumbled upon the ruins of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator's cave abode while slaying Demon Beast in the Boundless Great Swamp.

That Beast Taming Inheritance was of a higher grade and its value far exceeded that alchemy manual. In order to avoid arousing greed, he had not intended to sell it. He planned to keep it and see if he could become a Beast Tamer or establish a Lineage after reaching the Foundation Establishment, which would become the foundation of the Lineage.

Because of the high-quality service Ling Chengxin had promised and the price he offered, the young cultivator who was selling the Ling Chengxin manual was indeed tempted.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, the young cultivator narrowed his eyes, suppressing his excitement, and spoke with apparent confidence.

"I'll sell it for just one Foundation Establishment Pill."

"However, I did not bring that second-tier Beast Taming Inheritance with me. If you want to force me, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

When Ling Chengxin heard that this young cultivator really did have a second-tier Beast Taming Inheritance, his face lit up with joy. He had never thought of using force against him.

It's completely unnecessary to ruin the reputation of the Sky Talisman Commerce Association for the sake of a Beast Taming Inheritance.

However, the price offered by this young cultivator was indeed a bit too high, which made Ling Chengxin frown slightly.

A typical second-tier inheritance of a hundred arts is priced between ten thousand and twenty thousand Spirit Stone on the market.

The price of 20,000 Spirit Stone is already quite fair.

While the inheritance of a hundred arts is precious, the requirements for mastering it are extremely high. Even if a talented person has mastered a hundred arts, it would still take more than ten years to make a profit from it.

Moreover, earning Spirit Stone is not as profitable as the beast taming skills of Spirit Planter.

If the Ling Clan hadn't owned a Spirit Beast Garden, Ling Chengxin wouldn't have thought of spending a fortune to buy this inheritance.

The reason why there is a lack of such second-tier inheritance in the market is because the Hundred Spirits Sect rarely has the inheritance of the Hundred Arts.

Those Lineage that possess the second-tier inheritance of a hundred arts are even more concerned with the foundation of their family's second-tier inheritance of a hundred arts. Once it is leaked out, they will also lose their source of earning Spirit Stone.

Considering the second-tier Beast Taming Inheritance, the Lineage has been searching for decades since establishing the Spirit Beast Garden, but has yet to find it.

Ling Chengxin gritted his teeth, not wanting to miss this fortuitous opportunity, and spoke up.

"A Foundation Establishment Pill is worth a full 30,000 Spirit Stone, and a second-tier Beast Taming Inheritance is hardly worth a Foundation Establishment Pill. If you are willing to give me this pill manual as a bonus, I can agree to this deal."

"However, the matter of the Beast Taming Inheritance is the same. You must make Heavenly Dao Oath that you will not reveal it to outsiders once you have achieved a certain level of cultivation."

"As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, my clan does not have any. I can only give it to you at the beginning of next year when the Serpent Dragon Marketplace auction, which is held once every three years, begins."

"At that time, we will be trading the Beast Taming Inheritance. For nearly a year, you will need to stay at the headquarters of my Sky Talisman Commerce Association."

"And you must return the five thousand Spirit Stone I gave you for buying your alchemy manual afterward."

Upon hearing this, the young cultivator agreed without hesitation.

In the end, he still profited from this deal. A Beast Taming Inheritance is worth at most 20,000 Spirit Stone, and that alchemy manual is worth 5,000 Spirit Stone.

On the contrary, the Foundation Establishment Pill is worth a full 30,000 Spirit Stone.

They earned an extra five thousand Spirit Stone.

Lingxiao Mountain.

Halfway up the mountain.

Beneath a Azure Banyan Tree in a courtyard, a middle-aged man with regular features, not exactly handsome but exuding a sunny disposition, was playing chess with a young and beautiful woman.

After a short while, the composed middle-aged man said with a smile.

"It's been twenty or thirty years since we last met. I never expected that Fairy Liu's chess skills would be even better than before. After playing a hundred games in the past ten days, I finally managed to beat her in one game. The title of Fairy Liu, which people call the Chess Trick Fairy, is truly well-deserved."

The young and beautiful woman known as the "Chess Trick Fairy" said very modestly, "Senior Ling, you are too kind. Chess is just a minor matter and not worthy of serious consideration. My title is just something that some fellow enthusiasts have spread around. Please don't make fun of me."

The composed middle-aged man was Ling Pengshan, the current head of the Ling Clan. He had used a minor magic technique to change his appearance from that of an old man to that of a middle-aged man, but his actual lifespan was still not long.

The young and beautiful woman's name was "Liu Mengting".

Twenty or thirty years ago, when Ling Pengshan was still in the Qi Training Stage, this female cultivator named "Liu Mengting" was already quite famous in the Cultivation World of Huai River County for her superb chess skills.

Furthermore, this female cultivator would often set up stalls to play chess in various markets and towns in Huai River County.

The winner, Liu Mengting, will give ten Spirit Stone, while the loser will have to pay two Spirit Stone to Liu Mengting.

Back then, Ling Pengshan was blinded by the huge difference in the number of Spirit Stone between the winner and loser. He played five games against Liu Mengting but failed to defeat Liu Mengting. Instead, he lost ten Spirit Stone to Liu Mengting.

This incident still made Ling Pengshan, who was struggling financially at the time, feel heartbroken for quite some time.

This also made Ling Pengshan have a very deep impression of this Chess Trick Fairy. Half a month ago, during the Golden Core Ceremony with many guests, he spotted this Chess Trick Fairy, Liu Mengting, at a glance among the guests.

Ling Pengshan was also unwilling to accept that he had lost to Liu Mengting in the game of chess, so after the Golden Core Ceremony ended, he kept Liu Mengting behind and played chess with her every day.

"Although the matter of the game of chess is small, when viewed from the perspective of the entire world, it is nothing more than a much larger game of chess," Ling Pengshan said meaningfully.

These words were echoed by the young and beautiful Liu Mengting.

The two looked at the many pieces on the chessboard in front of them, and no matter how they looked at them, they all resembled themselves.

Besides seeking immortality, these cultivators also have another goal: to break the game of heaven and earth and become the player themselves.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Pengshan finally came to his senses and broke the silence.

"Your chess skills are unfathomable, and playing chess can enhance one's strategic thinking and calm the mind. I wonder if you would be willing to join my Ling Clan as Guest Elder, enter our clan Clan School, and teach our young disciples the art of chess?"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful Liu Mengting's expression shifted slightly, and she looked at Ling Pengshan with surprise.

"Senior, my cultivation is only at the Qi Training Middle Stage. It is truly a bit too much for me to serve as Guest Elder of a noble family..."

Before Liu Mengting could finish speaking, Ling Pengshan interrupted her.

"Fairy, there is no need to belittle yourself. My Ling Clan already has Golden Core True Person cultivator in charge, so we can be considered a Golden Core Family. In the future, my Ling Clan will definitely not be limited to its current size."

"Let the younger generation of our clan understand in advance the importance of planning this matter."

"Fairy, you are the number one chess player in my Jing Province region, and you are more than qualified to serve as Guest Elder of my clan."

"As long as the fairy diligently teaches my clansmen how to play chess in the future, that will suffice."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengting began to look at Ling Pengshan, this Foundation Establishment Cultivator loved chess but was terrible at it, in a different light.

She then agreed to the offer.

However, she didn't realize that as she agreed, Ling Pengshan's smile deepened.

The title of the previous chapter was misspelled; it should be "Cheng Xin's Alchemy Manual".
