An Unexpected Nascent Soul Cultivator
"Since you don't have any Purple Salvia Root, what kind of elixir did you invite me here to refine?" Song Wen asked.
He felt a slight disappointment when he heard Chu Lingyun say that he didn't have any Purple Salvia Root. However, knowing that the Illusory Spirit Valley Secret Realm of the Two Forms Sect had this item was still a gain.
At the same time, a murderous intent began to rise in Song Wen's heart.
Chu Lingyun was only a few feet away from him. At such close range, Song Wen was absolutely confident that he could kill his opponent with a single blow by launching a sneak attack.
However, Chu Lingyun's next words immediately dispelled Song Wen's murderous intent.
"Regarding the matter of Alchemy, I was entrusted by a senior. Let this senior personally explain it to you in detail."
Upon hearing this, Song Wen's pupils contracted slightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Judging from Chu Lingyun's words, there are other people on this island, and one of them is a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Chu Lingyun then unleashed several Method Formulas at one of the walls.
The array on the wall closed, revealing a stone door.
The stone door was wide open, leading to another secret room.
"Senior Cui Yan, a third-tier Alchemist has arrived. Please show yourself."
A figure flickered before the stone gate, and a gaunt, withered old man suddenly appeared.
Song Wen immediately bowed and stood up, paying his respects to the old man.
"Junior Extreme Yin greets Senior."
When Song Wen went to Jade Terrace Island to search for Xugeng's soul, he purchased information about the Cui Family, which mentioned Cui Yan, a Nascent Soul Early Stage.
What puzzled Song Wen was why Chu Lingyun, as Golden Core elder of the inner sect of Limitless Island, would privately associate with Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Cui Family.
Cui Yan scrutinized Song Wen, "You only have the cultivation of the Golden Core Early Stage?"
His tone revealed obvious doubt, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction with Song Wen's cultivation level.
Song Wen said, "This junior's cultivation level is indeed at the Golden Core Early Stage."
Cui Yan turned to Chu Lingyun and said.
"Given his cultivation level, it's highly unlikely he could refine the 'Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pill'."
Chu Lingyun said, "Senior, rest assured. Since I dared to invite Extreme Yin here, I naturally have enough confidence in his alchemy skills."
Cui Yan nodded slightly, then turned to Song Wen Wendao.
"Since Chu Lingyun trusts you, I'll let you give it a try. You've heard it too, the pill I'm going to refine is the 'Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pill,' are you confident in your abilities?"
The Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pill is a rather obscure medicine with a very narrow application; it can only detoxify the fire poisoning caused by yin fire. Therefore, this pill is rarely seen in the market.
"I can give it a try," Song Wen said.
Song Wen knew in his heart that although Cui Yan was polite on the surface, Cui Yan would definitely turn hostile if Song Wen answered that he could not refine the pill.
The difficulty of refining the Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pill is not considered high among third-tier pills. Although Song Wen has never refined it before, he has the experience in refining this pill and is confident that he can refine it.
The Alchemy for this pill were learned from Yu Jiao.
Cui Yan said, "Alright, then you're in charge of refining it. If Alchemy fail, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying this, Cui Yan handed a Storage Bag to Song Wen and then disappeared from the stone house, presumably returning to the stone house next door.
The Storage Bag contains three portions of the spirit medicine needed to refine the Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pill.
"I would be grateful if you could refine the Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pill as soon as possible, as this pill is extremely important to both me and Senior Cui," Chu Lingyun said.
Song Wen said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, rest assured, I will do my best."
Chu Lingyun said, "Then I'll leave it to you, fellow Daoist."
Seven days later.
Song Wen walked out of the leftmost stone house, holding a jade bottle in his hand.
Upon arriving outside Chu Lingyun's house, Song Wen spoke loudly.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I have successfully completed the task; the Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pill has been successfully refined."
The stone house door opened, Chu Lingyun and his son came out.
Song Wen was surprised to find that the Sha Qi on Chu Lingyun's body had been almost completely dispelled.
"With Chu Lingyun level, it's impossible for him to dispel the Origin-Returning Sha Qi so quickly, unless someone is helping him. Could it be Cui Yan?" Song Wen wondered to himself.
Chu Lingyun asked, "How many pills were successfully formed in total?"
Song Wen handed over the jade bottle in his hand, "Ten pieces."
Song Wen successfully refined two batches of the three spirit medicine, yielding five pills from each batch.
Chu Lingyun smiled broadly after examining the pills in the jade bottle.
"Just as my son said, your alchemy skills are truly remarkable."
After saying that, he flipped his hand and took out a Storage Bag.
"Here are five hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, as a reward for your help, fellow Daoist."
Song Wen put the Storage Bag away, and Cui Yan came out.
He accepted the jade bottle from Chu Lingyun without hesitation, examined it, and then put it away with satisfaction.
Cui Yan said to Chu Lingyun, "Now that the pills have been refined, let's set off for Mist-Hidden Island immediately."
Then, he said to Song Wen, "We happen to be short-handed, so you can come along too."
Cui Yan's tone carried an undeniable air of authority.
Song Wen naturally didn't want to get involved.
After all, even Cui Yan, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, had to prepare antidotes before daring to go to Mist-Hidden Island. This is enough to show that what Cui Yan and Chu Lingyun were about to do was bound to be fraught with danger.
Song Wen looked troubled and said hesitantly.
"Reporting to Senior Cui, I have other important matters to attend to, so..."
Before Song Wen could finish speaking, he saw Cui Yan staring coldly at him.
His tone suddenly changed.
"It is my honor to serve Senior Cui. I will do my utmost to live up to your expectations."
Cui Yan's expression softened somewhat.
"By the way, I wanted to ask you about someone. As Alchemist, you must know quite a few Alchemist who cultivate near Limitless Island. Are there any third-tier Alchemist among them who raise Gu poison?"
As soon as Cui Yan asked the question, Chu Lingyun also looked intently at Song Wen.
Clearly, Chu Lingyun and Cui Yan have communicated, and they are both looking for the person who controls the Shadow Gu.
After discussing it, the two concluded that the person they were looking for was the same person, and that he was an Alchemist in the Late Golden Core Stage.
The two never expected that the person they were looking for was right in front of them.
After all, Song Wen's cultivation level was only at the Golden Core Early Stage, which was clearly not the same person they were looking for as the Late Golden Core Stage cultivator.
Song Wen said, "This junior prefers quiet and is not good at socializing. I don't know many Alchemists. I have never heard of a third-level Alchemist raises Gu."
Upon hearing this, Cui Yan appeared slightly disappointed, but did not say anything more.
He raised his hand and summoned a spaceship, then flew onto it.
"All of you, come up here."
Song Wen took off and boarded the spaceship.
Chu Lingyun and Chu Qian also boarded the spaceship.
The spaceship was very fast, and after a little over half an hour, it arrived at Mist-Hidden Island.
It was late afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly.
But Mist-Hidden Island remained shrouded in mist, everything on the island shrouded in a hazy mist.
