The Idea of Dealing in Elixir Pills

The next day, Wu Yun and Luo Tong left the Lin Family by carriage under Lin Dong's reluctant gaze.

"Why do you seem to think so highly of this Lin Dong?"

On the way back, Luo Tong asked in confusion.

Although Wu Yun was easygoing and forthright, he had never taken such an interest in someone his own age before.

Wu Yun's friendliness toward Lin Dong was simply too obvious. He favored him greatly.

"Senior Brother, Lin Dong is no ordinary person. In the future, not only Qingyang Town, but perhaps even the Great Yan Dynasty will have a place for him."

"Oh, my, you're only a few years older than Lin Dong, yet you're already acting like some old man. Do you know how vast the Great Yan Dynasty is? You youngsters would be doing well enough if you could make a name for yourselves in Flame City. Don't aim so high!"

Luo Tong could not help laughing. In his eyes, this was simply a young man who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.

"Come to think of it, ever since you recovered from that serious illness, I feel like you've changed!"

"How have I changed? Aren't I still me?"

After returning to the Mad Blade Martial Arts School, Wu Yun entered his room, prepared a bucket of water, and eagerly took out a small bottle.

It contained Stone Talisman Spiritual Liquid. When he had left the Lin Family, Lin Dong had given Wu Yun three drops of Stone Talisman Spiritual Liquid and two Elixir Pills refined from Purple Ganoderma.

He poured a drop into the bathtub, removed his clothes, climbed in, and began cultivating the Heavenly Mystery Skill.

In another world, the Heavenly Mystery Skill had been an inner cultivation method, producing inner force.

What Tang San cultivated on Douluo Continent was soul power.

In this world, it was called Primal Force.

The essence of cultivation methods did not change: they opened the Extraordinary Scripture and eight meridians throughout the body. As for why the power cultivated differed, that depended on the energy present in the world one inhabited.

Unlike this world's cultivation manuals, the Heavenly Mystery Skill did not require one to reach the Earth Yuan Stage before cultivation could begin. It could be cultivated at any time.

The cultivation methods of this world mainly served to open the meridians, strengthen Primal Force, and make it circulate faster.

The Heavenly Mystery Skill, however, had nine layers in total. Each advancement by one layer made one's strength even greater.

An hour passed, and the water in the bucket changed from red to clear as its energy was depleted.

"It truly is a miraculous medicine!" Wu Yun exclaimed. With that one drop of Stone Talisman Spiritual Liquid, his hour of cultivation had increased his Primal Force by an amount equivalent to ten days of his usual cultivation.

He was already at Body Tempering Layer Eight, yet it still had such an obvious effect.

Furthermore, with the Heavenly Mystery Skill, he absorbed medicinal power much faster than when cultivating the martial arts he had practiced before.

This was only because he had just begun cultivating it. Once the Heavenly Mystery Skill reached the first layer, his cultivation speed would become even faster.

"At this rate, I'll break through to Layer Nine in less than a month!"

Wu Yun swallowed a Purple Spirit Pill and continued cultivating.

Before long, he had refined the pill's power.

The spiritual medicines I used to consume were such a waste!

Wu Yun sighed inwardly.

He had consumed quite a few spiritual medicines and spiritual liquids before, but compared with the Elixir Pills refined through the Stone Talisman, the energy he could absorb from them was pitifully little.

They had been made from the same materials.

No wonder Lin Dong had improved so quickly!

The Stone Talisman was the symbol of the Child of Destiny. With the Stone Talisman, even a pig could be piled up to a powerful realm.

Wu Yun was very glad that he had chosen to share this cheat with Lin Dong.

His system was far too aloof. Unlike Lin Dong's Stone Talisman, it could not be used whenever he wanted.

The system's next sign-in mission was to sign in at the Qingyang Hunting Conference!

The Qingyang Hunting Conference would not take place until the end of the year, more than three months away! The interval was far too long! What would the next sign-in reward be? Lin Dong was still very much looking forward to it. Though the interval was long, everything produced by the system was top-notch. There would definitely be something good! Five days later, Wu Yun had used up the remaining Stone Talisman Spiritual Liquid and Purple Spirit Pills.

His strength had improved considerably, and he was only one step away from Body Tempering Layer Nine.

"I need to pick up the pace!" Wu Yun had no intention of taking things slowly.

He took out all the savings he had accumulated over the years, disguised himself, and went to the Trading Post, where he traded for seven Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines.

Seven Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines were an extremely considerable fortune. Even Lin Dong had only received two Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines for taking first place in the Clan Competition.

However, the Mad Blade Martial Arts School had practically monopolized all the escort agencies in Qingyang Town and was far wealthier than the Lin Family. As the chief disciple, Wu Yun was highly valued by Martial Hall Master Luo Cheng and had received quite a few treasures as rewards over the years.

Wu Yun had previously been a Martial Maniac. He had no interest in visiting brothels, listening to music, or indulging in debauchery. At most, he would drink a little with his fellow disciples, so he had hardly spent any money.

Lin Family!

Wu Yun had only been gone for five days, yet he had returned.

He headed straight for the small courtyard where Lin Dong lived.

"Huh? You're back again? Didn't you just leave?" Qing Tan's first reaction upon seeing Wu Yun was surprise.

"I'll be coming often from now on. Don't be so thrilled."

"Who's thrilled? Hmph!" Qing Tan snorted, somewhat displeased.

She was completely devoted to her brother. When Wu Yun had come last time, he had directly become her brother's brother. Lin Dong had gone off to play with Wu Yun and no longer wanted her.

"Where's Lin Dong?"

"Brother Lin Dong is cultivating in the back mountain."

"I'm going to find him. Goodbye!" Wu Yun ran toward the back mountain as soon as he finished speaking.

"Hey, don't go. Brother Lin Dong doesn't allow anyone to disturb his cultivation. He won't even let me go find him."

"You're you, and I'm me. We're different. Lin Dong will definitely be happy to see me!"

The Lin Family's back mountain!

Lin Dong was cultivating the Heavenly Mystery Skill.

After obtaining the Heavenly Mystery Skill, Lin Dong had immediately entered the Stone Talisman's Spiritual World to cultivate.

Based on the demonstration by the Figure in the Stone Talisman, Lin Dong understood just how powerful this cultivation method was. Its circulation spread through all the meridians in his body! However, because the cultivation method was too powerful, the figure stopped before the demonstration had even reached halfway. Lin Dong guessed that the demonstration required energy, while the Stone Talisman's energy had already been exhausted by him! It would need more energy before the demonstration could continue! These past few days, he had been thinking about how to recharge the Stone Talisman. "Someone's coming?" Lin Dong was highly alert and opened his eyes.

"Lin Dong, you're still cultivating so diligently!"

Wu Yun walked over with a smile.

He inwardly marveled at Lin Dong's perseverance. In the original story, Lin Dong cultivated diligently from beginning to end and hardly ever rested.

"Big Brother, why are you here!"

"I have something good. I need your help!"

Wu Yun took the spiritual medicines out of his bundle.

There were seven of them in total!

"Rehmannia Fruit, Golden Yuan Fruit, Jupiter Grass..."

"They're all Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines!"

Lin Dong was stunned!

"Quick, use your Stone Talisman to help me refine them into Elixir Pills!" Wu Yun said excitedly, unceremoniously treating Lin Dong as a tool.

"Alright!"

Lin Dong was also delighted. It was the first time in his life that he had seen so many spiritual medicines.

Very quickly, the spiritual medicines were refined by the Stone Talisman into Elixir Pills.

The medicinal potency of Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines varied in strength. After refinement through the Stone Talisman, each usually produced anywhere from two to four pills.

The seven Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines yielded a total of twenty Elixir Pills.

Every one of these Elixir Pills was equivalent to a Third-Grade Pill.

"With these Elixir Pills, it shouldn't take long for Big Brother Wu Yun to break through to Layer Nine!"

"The usual rule, half each!"

Wu Yun directly gave ten of the Elixir Pills to Lin Dong.

"I... I can't take them. Big Brother, you've already given me too much!"

"We agreed to share fortune and hardship alike. Take them!"

Wu Yun directly shoved them into Lin Dong's hands, domineeringly allowing no refusal! Lin Dong held the Elixir Pills, deeply moved! This big brother had been worth acknowledging! "Actually, I have an idea I want to discuss with you!" Wu Yun said thoughtfully.

"Big Brother, go ahead!"

"Today, I went to the Trading Post and discovered that Elixir Pills are extremely valuable. One Third-Grade Pill can be exchanged for at least three Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines!

I've taken the Third-Grade Pills sold on the market before, and their effects weren't even as good as the Elixir Pills we refined from Third-Grade Spiritual Medicines.

The Elixir Pills we have now are at least Third Grade, and they're of exceptionally high quality.

If we take them to the Trading Post, each one can be exchanged for at least four spiritual medicines!"

"Gasp!"

Lin Dong immediately became excited when he heard this!

He drew a sharp breath. The profit to be made in between was simply enormous.
