He had gathered all the other materials needed to refine a Tier-4 Soul Refining Pill and had mastered both the refining method and the proportions of the ingredients, but he still lacked time sand.
Moreover, time-related materials were the principal ingredient and could not be omitted.
Chen Lin's idea was to substitute the few time snails he still had, which were normally used to refine first-rank Soul Refining Pills.
Of course, their potency would definitely be insufficient.
So he wanted to eat the qi luck lobster he had obtained last time and use qi luck force to forcibly shift the line of destiny, allowing the pill to succeed.
As long as ordinary time snails made the process theoretically feasible, there would be hope of success.
However, he had originally saved this Giant Lobster for severing the line of causality. Using him here would be a real waste, especially when he did not even know whether it would work.
But advancing to a silver soul was more urgent, so he could only use him to meet this immediate need.
Yet before Chen Lin could begin his attempt, Princess Qinghua brought him good news: she had secured a slot to use the Soul Refining Pond!
"My dear, opening the Soul Refining Pond even once consumes an enormous amount of materials, and the supplies in the Royal Treasury are running dangerously low. His Majesty even brought out his own treasured possessions for this opening, so I could only promise him that you would help counter the Four Great Clans' attempt to force his hand."
Inside the Imperial Secret Realm, Princess Qinghua carefully explained as she led Chen Lin onward.
"It's all right."
Chen Lin smiled and said, "After using so many of his precious materials, it's only right that I help a little.
