Chapter 495

Upon entering the Technique Pavilion, one is greeted by hundreds of tall bookshelves.

On those bookshelves, there were tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of books.

From the titles of those books, Ling Yunhong learned that they contained Cultivation Method, the cultivation experience of his ancestors, and some secret techniques.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ling Yunhong couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the profound foundation of the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect, a Nascent Soul Great Sect sect.

The number of books stored in the entire Ling Clan's Technique Pavilion is less than one-tenth of the number of books here.

After regaining his senses, Ling Yunhong followed the guide, Azure Water True Person, up the ladder in a corner of the first floor of the Technique Pavilion.

After passing through the second floor, the two quickly reached the highest floor of the Technique Pavilion, the "third floor".

Although there weren't many books on the third floor of the Technique Pavilion, only a few hundred, Ling Yunhong didn't underestimate them.

According to Azure Water True Person's introduction during his journey, the books stored on the third floor of this Technique Pavilion are all related to Cultivation Method, secret techniques, and so on related to the Golden Core realm.

These ancient books would be priceless treasures and expensive items if placed in the outside world.

Azure Water True Person sifted through the hundreds of books for a while and quickly found the sect's Third Rank Low Grade Pill Refining inheritance. He handed it to Ling Yunhong and then said a few words.

"Yun Hong, although the sect has made an exception and bestowed this inheritance upon you, it is only given to you alone. After you receive this item, you must not spread it outside. This matter cannot be guaranteed by mere words. Therefore, I will need to set up a restriction in your Sea of Consciousness afterward to prevent this Dao of Alchemy inheritance from being spread outside."

"Furthermore, you may only view this Third Rank Alchemy Inheritance within this Technique Pavilion. You may not take it out. I hope you will not do so with any intention of doing so, as this is a rule of the sect."

"Understood, Master." Upon hearing this, Ling Yunhong's expression shifted slightly. He immediately suppressed his excitement at obtaining the Third Rank Alchemy Inheritance and solemnly addressed Azure Water True Person.

Azure Water True Person nodded slightly, then sat cross-legged to the side and closed his eyes to rest.

Ling Yunhong didn't delay any longer and carefully examined the Third Rank Alchemy Inheritance in his hand.

His cultivation had reached the Golden Core realm, and relying on his powerful Golden Core Realm Divine Sense, he was able to read ten lines at a glance.

In just half a day, he had read through the entire thick book of Third Rank Alchemy Inheritance.

This book contains a wealth of information, including various Third Rank Low Grade Pill Refining techniques.

Among them, the number of recorded Pill Formula is also extremely large.

There are hundreds of first-tier Pill Formula formulas, more than three hundred second-tier Pill Formula formulas, and more than ten Third Rank Low Grade Pill Formula.

This book even includes some rare and uniquely effective Pill Formula.

Upon seeing this, Ling Yunhong couldn't help but break into a bright smile.

"Judging from the contents of this transmission, it seems that the contents of this transmission have not been reduced."

"The sect leader is indeed magnanimous."

Thinking of this, Ling Yunhong's brows furrowed with even more seriousness.

"However, I didn't help much when the Saint Demon Sect attacked the sect's secret realm. The karma I've accumulated isn't even enough to exchange for this set of Third Rank Low Grade Pill Refining inheritance, let alone the two sets of third-grade mid- and high-level Pill Refining inheritances that I can obtain in the future."

"In this way, I am the one who owes the sect a debt of karma."

"In the future, it will be difficult to repay this karmic debt."

"I'm afraid I can't avoid the matter between the sect and the Saint Demon Sect."

Although Ling Yunhong knew that the karma of the Third Rank Alchemy Inheritance was hard to repay, he had no choice but to form this karma with the sect and comprehend the Third Rank Alchemy Inheritance.

Comprehending this Pill Refining tradition is not only paving the way for his future, but also for the future of his clan.

Having been in the Golden Core realm for over two years, he had a general understanding of the difficulty of breaking through cultivation levels. As things stand, even with sufficient Spiritual Qi, it would take him at least ten or even several decades to break through to the Golden Core Second Layer.

The only way to speed up cultivation is to use a third-tier cultivation artifact.

Tier 3 cultivation spiritual items are extremely rare on the market.

With Third Rank Alchemy Inheritance in hand, given his Pill Refining talent, he is confident that he can become a third-tier Alchemist by relying on this Pill Refining.

In this way, he can refine third-order pills to improve his own cultivation and that of his grandson Ling Pengyun, who had already broken through to the Golden Core.

At the same time, he can also rely on his improved Dao of Alchemy to refine more high-quality and effective pills to help his clansmen reach a higher level.

As his thoughts returned to their source, Ling Yunhong couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He then woke up the Azure Water True Person beside him who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed in meditation, and handed back the Third Rank Low-Grade Alchemy Inheritance in his hand to the Azure Water True Person.

The sect's core high-ranking member, Azure Water True Person, placed the Third Rank Low-Grade Alchemy Inheritance book on the bookshelf here. Subsequently, Azure Water True Person was at the Golden Core Ninth Layer realm, also used his Divine Sense to set up a Divine Sense restriction in Ling Yunhong's Sea of Consciousness.

This restriction is only to prevent Ling Yunhong from disseminating the contents of that Third Rank Alchemy Inheritance; otherwise, it has no other effect on Ling Yunhong.

After this matter was concluded, the two left the Technique Pavilion and returned together to the cultivation site of Azure Water True Person, "Azure Water Island".

Some time ago, Wang Ying, the only True Disciple under Azure Water True Person, who had also transferred spiritual energy outside the mountain gate to open and repair the treasure realm, returned to the island from the mountain gate half a day ago.

When she noticed that Azure Water True Person and Ling Yunhong, who had gone to the sect's Technique Pavilion to retrieve the Third Rank Low-Grade Alchemy Inheritance, had returned, she immediately left her residence to greet them.

"Master!"

She first greeted Azure Water True Person with a cupped-hand salute, and then congratulated her junior brother, whom she had known for nearly ten years and who had recently been granted Third Rank Alchemy Inheritance by the sect leader.

"Congratulations, junior brother, on obtaining such a great fortuitous opportunity. In the future, if you rely on this inheritance to become a third-level Alchemist, don't forget your senior sister."

Ling Yunhong laughed twice, then said modestly, "Haha, Senior Sister, you flatter me. Whether I can become a third-tier Alchemist is still uncertain."

Wang Ying said, "Junior brother, you are being too modest. When you were in the Foundation Establishment Realm, your Divine Sense was already strong enough to reach the Golden Core First Layer, thanks to the Explosive Tempering God Art. Now that you have entered the Golden Core stage, your Divine Sense has probably reached an even higher level."

"In addition to your extraordinary talent in Pill Refining, Junior Brother, and now that you have obtained a Third Rank Low-Grade Alchemy Inheritance, it is only a matter of time before you become a third-grade Alchemist."

Seeing this, Ling Yunhong smiled and said, "Then Junior Brother will take Senior Sister's good wishes with him."

"If I, your junior brother, truly become a third-tier Alchemist, then in the future, senior sister, once you have recovered from the injuries you sustained during your last breakthrough to the Golden Core stage and entered the Golden Core realm, you should raise your main cultivation of Spirit Plant to the third tier. At that time, I will need to rely on senior sister to help me plant some third-tier Spirit Plant so that I can start refining third-tier pills."

This statement is partly polite and partly true.

In the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World where the Ling Clan resides, spiritual creatures of the third rank or higher are extremely rare.

Third-tier spirit medicine, which require at least three hundred years to mature and undergo tribulation, are treasured by the major Golden Core Force in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World and are never allowed to leave the area.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment forces or cultivators simply cannot cultivate such forces.

Going to the territory of Demon Beast to search is even more of a pipe dream. After Demon Beast enter the Golden Core stage, their intelligence is greatly enhanced, and even third-tier Spirit Plant are treasured by Golden Core Demon Beast.

"That's great! Then let's settle this matter."

"When I reach the Golden Core in the future, if I find spirit medicine that can be used to refine third-tier pills, junior brother, you must help me start the furnace to Pill Refining."

Wang Ying said with a smile.

Although there are several third-tier Alchemist within the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect, the sect also has a considerable number of Golden Core cultivators, including many wealthy Golden Core True Person who can obtain third-tier spirit medicine.

A third-tier Alchemist needs at least six months, or even several years, to refine a third-tier pill.

Under such circumstances, Golden Core True Person within the sect who want to find those few third-tier Alchemist to refine pills will basically have to wait in line, and it might take several years before they can get a turn.

Wang Ying did the same, which is why she made arrangements with Ling Yunhong, Near Third Rank Alchemist, to refine third-tier pills in the future, paving the way for the future. Making friends with another third-tier Alchemist wouldn't be a bad thing.

It's a deal.

Ling Yunhong said with a smile.

"You two, one hasn't even reached the Golden Core, and the other hasn't even become a third-tier Alchemist, yet you're already talking big. If outsiders saw this, they'd probably laugh their heads off."

Upon hearing what his two disciples said, the Golden Core Ninth Layer Azure Water True Person, Bi Shui, jokingly remarked.

Although Azure Water True Person spends most of his time in seclusion, Azure Water True Person quite kind.

Ling Yunhong stayed on Azure Water Island for nearly ten years, and he had many interactions with Azure Water True Person.

Gradually, he became familiar with Ling Yunhong, and they would often exchange jokes.

His relationship with his protégé, Wang Ying, goes without saying; they were already as close as father and daughter.

Wang Ying was born into an ordinary family. She was found by Azure Water True Person in a mortal village in a certain sea area when he went out to the secret realm to search for suitable disciples for the sect in various sea areas.

Because Wang Ying's Spirit Root was exceptionally good and she was usually quite obedient, Azure Water True Person initially took her under his wing as a maid.

As time went by, Wang Ying's talent for cultivation gradually became apparent. She also possessed talent in the arts of Spirit Plant and beast taming. Azure Water True Person began to value this girl and subsequently took her in as his personal disciple.

"Master, the way you're saying that makes it sound like I can't break through to the Golden Core stage. Don't you believe in your disciple?"

Wang Ying pretended to be angry and looked at her master, Master Azure Water True Person, and said.

"I firmly believe you can reach the Golden Core stage. Your master is waiting for you to reach the Golden Core so that I can help your Spirit Plant cultivation reach the third level."

"In that case, you can also cultivate the second-tier spirit bamboo planted on the island to the third tier, so that I can rely on those third-tier spirit bamboo to refine Spirit Talisman Cave."

"Alright, that's enough. I have a few words to discuss with Yun Hong."

After saying a few words with a smile, Azure Water True Person waved to Wang Ying.

The Azure Water Island is rich in Spiritual Qi, which is Third Rank High Grade Spirit Vein. In order to avoid wasting Spiritual Qi, Azure Water True Person planted a patch of Azure Water Spirit Bamboo with the same water attribute as his Cultivation Method on the island in his early years.

After decades or even centuries of cultivation, the grove of Azure Water Spirit Bamboo, with its hundreds of stalks, has reached the second tier.

This Azure Water Spirit Bamboo is not only a good material for refining water-type magical Law Artifact, but also a good material for refining water-type spiritual objects.

Although Azure Water True Person's cultivation level reached the Golden Core Ninth Layer, he was still a Third Rank High Grade Talisman Crafter.

The Spirit Talisman Cave he was best at crafting were water-attribute Spirit Talisman Cave.

Wang Ying, knowing the gravity of the situation, nodded slightly and returned to her residence on the island.

Then, Azure Water True Person led Ling Yunhong into his Bamboo House.

The two sat on two chairs next to a wooden table in the main hall of the Bamboo House building.
