A dazzling glow of soul power enveloped Lin's body.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin slowly opened his eyes.
"Kid, congratulations. Your spiritual power has reached the Mortal Realm."
The one who spoke was none other than Lao Yao.
Lin entered his sea of consciousness, where three figures were already waiting for him.
"Old man, you've recovered."
Lin was somewhat excited. He had not expected the old man to recover so quickly.
"It's already been a week. I merely exhausted my energy and fell into a deep sleep. As for the injuries, they weren't anything serious."
Lao Yao spoke calmly. Tang San the God King's divine sense had finally vanished completely, and it had not even noticed that Lao Yao had been injured.
This was something Lin had never expected. Still, it was good that the old man had recovered. That was what mattered.
"With the Life Gold, along with those soul beasts I had stored away, my spiritual power naturally recovered."
"But if I want to use my strength, I'll still need some time."
After Lao Yao explained, Lin suddenly understood. It seemed the old man had not fully recovered after all.
When necessary, he would still have to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings and replenish his soul power.
"I see. Then, old man, can I refine pills now?"
Lin was somewhat excited. He had refined plenty of low-grade pills, and he wanted to try refining a batch of First Grade medicinal pills.
"Of course you can. Refining pills is a trivial matter now."
"I sensed an aura similar to that of a Strange Fire, but whether it truly is one or not, you'll have to go see for yourself."
Lao Yao's words exploded like thunder in Lin's sea of consciousness.
A Strange Fire—an aura similar to a Strange Fire.
Lin was instantly stirred. Could there be a Strange Fire at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? Wasn't that place formed by the remains of two dragon skeletons?
It was only an aura similar to a Strange Fire, and even Lao Yao was not certain.
At this point, Lin was uncertain as well. But even if it was not a Strange Fire, it would still be an extremely powerful flame.
It would be immensely beneficial to his own growth as well.
No matter what, he had to go there and take a look. Not only might there be a flame similar to a Strange Fire, but there were also those two dragon skeletons.
He could even collect the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
No matter how he calculated it, it was worth it.
However, Lao Yao had just said that there were signs of a powerful flame there.
"Old man, that place might already be guarded by someone. We can't go there for the time being."
Lin was excited, but he was not foolish enough to rush over directly.
Lao Yao naturally understood this. "No need to rush. As long as that god does not make a move, no one will be able to take that place away."
Lin also knew that he could not be impatient. He had already taken the Immortal Herb—would that flame be able to escape?
Lin did not know what Tang San had done, nor did he know what had become of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
But to be safe, Lin decided to wait until the commotion died down before investigating it again.
"That's only natural. We can't go there for now, but we can take a detour."
"Kid, go call Poison Unkillable over."
Lao Yao looked at Lin and spoke calmly.
Lin knew that calling Poison Unkillable over was surely related to Poison Unkillable reaching level 99. Poison Unkillable had already met Lao Yao, and Lao Yao did not seem to intend to keep hiding.
Lin withdrew from his sea of consciousness, straightened his clothes, and hurried off to find Poison Unkillable.
"Old man! Old man!!"
The moment Lin arrived at Poison Unkillable's residence, he called out excitedly.
Hearing Lin's excited voice, Poison Unkillable vanished with a whoosh and appeared right beside him.
The two exchanged a glance, both understanding without a word.
Poison Unkillable grabbed Lin and brought him into his room.
As soon as they entered, Lao Yao emerged from Lin's sea of consciousness.
Seeing Lao Yao again, Poison Unkillable did not dare move. This was a true great shot. Swallowing hard, Poison Unkillable did not even know how to address him.
Before Poison Unkillable could speak, Lao Yao waved his hand and said in a voice that was sincere yet carried a hint of displeasure, "Just call me Tia from now on."
Poison Unkillable nodded blankly. "Uh... ah."
Seeing Lao Yao's satisfied expression, Lin was left speechless. Old man, did you really agree that quickly?
Poison Unkillable said, "Heh heh, I call this being vigorous and dashing!!"
Lao Yao was stunned as well.
Lao Yao looked at Poison Unkillable and took three plants out of Lin's storage ring.
Lin recognized the plants at a glance: Scarlet Heavenly Dragon Grass, Jade Nine-Pattern Flower, and Jade Phosphorus Seven-Pattern Flower.
The Scarlet Heavenly Dragon Grass attracted Poison Unkillable. Poison Unkillable could sense the immortal herb's pull toward him. If he had this immortal herb, he would definitely be able to break through to level 99.
Lin had no idea what Lao Yao intended to do.
"Unkillable, I have an immortal herb for you now."
"Swallow this immortal herb directly. It can infinitely amplify the poison in your soul bone, allowing you to use its medicinal power to break through to level 99."
"Of course, once I refine it into a pill, it will be even better. I just don't know whether the continent has the materials I need."
"Every method of refining immortal herbs has its merits. Pills can bring out an immortal herb's effects to the greatest extent."
"It's just that refining pills takes time, and there are too many uncertainties."
Lao Yao spoke calmly. These were things Poison Unkillable deserved, and Lao Yao did not stand on ceremony either.
Poison Unkillable seemed to recall something. At last, he looked at Lao Yao. "Brother Yao, I'll wait for your pills. Tell me what materials you still need, and I'll go find them right away."
Lao Yao understood. He immediately explained the three medicinal herbs to Poison Unkillable. Poison Unkillable listened carefully and had Lao Yao describe their appearances in detail. Even if he did not recognize them, he could still search for them.
Poison Unkillable lowered his head. "Thank you, Brother Yao."
Lao Yao waved his hand. "I should be thanking you for letting me refine medicine. If it weren't for you, little Lin would not be where he is today."
"Haha, it's all that kid's good fortune. It was only a small matter."
Poison Unkillable felt somewhat embarrassed. Unable to act naturally, he gave a slightly stiff smile.
Lao Yao smiled faintly as well and nodded in agreement.
"Brother Yao, then I'll go look for the materials first."
After saying that, Poison Unkillable did not wait for Lao Yao's response. He shook Lin's hand, then left.
Although Lao Yao had not displayed his strength, that mysterious air of his still put immense pressure on Poison Unkillable.
After leaving Lin's room, Poison Unkillable took a deep breath and muttered involuntarily, "Brother Yao's pressure really is terrifying."
Poison Unkillable quickly summoned the upper echelons of his sect and told them about the three medicinal ingredients he needed, ordering them to search for them immediately.
Although they did not know what their sect master intended to do, an order was an order. They immediately began taking action.
Inside the room, Poison Unkillable waved his hand, and Igor emerged while holding the Ice Silkworm.
"Little Lin, cultivate properly."
"Your task is very important."
Igor patted Lin on the shoulder. After offering those words of encouragement, he disappeared back into the ring.
"Little Lin, let's refine pills. I'll teach you alchemy, and while we're at it, I'll refine some Immortal Herb into pills for you."
Lin's expression brightened. Consuming Immortal Herb directly could indeed bring tremendous improvements, but pills would be even more effective.
Lin was not foolish either. He knew that he would not be able to make any major improvements in the short term.
Once Lao Yao successfully refined the pills, his talent and aptitude would receive an immense boost.
Now that Lao Yao wanted to teach him alchemy, he naturally could not refuse.
