Visiting Old Man Shennong Again

With the return of Yao Lao, the Starfall Pavilion's prestige soared, causing a great stir in the Central Plains. However, this had no impact on Xiao Lin, who was still staying in the Ancient Emperor's Cave!

Even now, he still studies the Emperor Array every day, while also counting down the days.

Of course, Ji Li had already informed Xiao Lin about Yao Lao's return to the Starfall Pavilion and Xiao Yan's subsequent Ji Li of the Starfall Pavilion.

However, Xiao Lin only replied with an "Oh" and then offered no further response.

After all, although Yao Lao has returned to the Starfall Pavilion, he is currently in a state of not receiving any guests.

Don't forget, he's only Soul Body now!

It will obviously take some time for Yao Lao to return in his prime.

At the very least, Xiao Yan would need to break through to the Dou Zun Realm before he could possibly help Yao Lao reshape his body!

However, after Yao Lao returned to the Starfall Pavilion, Venner Zhe immediately ordered his disciples to collect all the materials needed for his friend's resurrection.

To be honest, it's easier to get things done when you have powerful backers!

Otherwise, who knows how long it would take Xiao Yan to gather all the materials by himself?

As time went by, a year later, the Starfall Pavilion had almost gathered all the materials needed to revive Yao Lao, except for the body of Dou Sheng!

However, the body of Dou Sheng is the most difficult of these materials to collect, second only to someone who simultaneously masters three Heavenly Flames.

But Xiao Yan has already exceeded this most difficult condition.

In other words, as long as Xiao Yan's cultivation breaks through to the Dou Venerable and he also obtains the body of Dou Sheng, he will be able to begin reviving Yao Lao.

However, Xiao Yan and the rest of the Starfall Pavilion were unaware that they already possessed the body of Dou Sheng.

I imagine that once Xiao Yan breaks through to the Dou Zun Realm and is able to open the Storage Ring that Xiao Lin gave him, he will be greatly surprised!

Of course, that's a story for another time.

After joining the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan's strength has improved considerably over the past year, but he still has a step or two to go before reaching the Dou Zun Realm.

It's unclear whether it was because Xiao Yan was getting impatient, but after his mindset changed, his cultivation speed slowed down considerably.

Otherwise, given Xiao Yan's earlier advancement speed, he might have actually broken through from Five-Star Dou Zong to Dou Venerable within a year, instead of just reaching the Eight-Star Dou Zong not long ago, as he is now.

Meanwhile, as time went by, although Xiao Yan was still one or two steps away from becoming Dou Venerable, the time that Xiao Lin had been waiting for had already arrived.

The Shennong Mountain Range in Central Plains.

After leaving the Ancient Emperor's Cave, Xiao Lin once again visited the small space created by the Old Man Shennong.

Because Xiao Lin made no attempt to conceal his whereabouts or aura, he was discovered by Old Man Shennong almost as soon as he arrived outside the hermitage.

"Buzz~"

Just like the first time, the small space that Old Man Shennong had created was once again drawn back from both sides like a curtain.

"Haha, Palace Master Lin Xiao, you've arrived just in time!"

Amidst a burst of laughter, the Old Man Shennong emerged from the small space, still leaning on his cane, which was covered with various bottles and jars and made a "clinking" sound.

"The old gentleman is Alchemist; he must be extremely punctual, right? So, of course I should be on time!"

After bowing Old Man Shennong, Xiao Lin smiled and said...

Indeed, what Old Man Shennong just said was not a complaint, but a praise for Xiao Lin!

Just as Xiao Lin said, Alchemists are very particular about time.

After all, time is an indispensable factor when making medicine!

Therefore, naturally, out of ten Alchemists, absolutely all ten are extremely punctual!

In short, the more punctual you are, the more favor you will gain from the Alchemist.

After Xiao Lin finished speaking, the Old Man Shennong welcomed him into the small space he had created, just like he would an old friend.

Afterwards, the two spent another time brewing tea, discussing philosophy, and exchanging ideas. Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the two of them, who were both Six-Star Dou Sheng, three days was indeed insignificant.

It was over in the blink of an eye.

"Palace Master Lin Xiao, I feel really bad for making you keep this old man company for three more days!"

Perhaps it was because Xiao Lin didn't seem too eager that the Old Man Shennong kept him for three days.

Although he lives in seclusion here, he can't help but chat with people he gets along with once he meets someone he clicks with.

Clearly, in the eyes of the Old Man Shennong, Xiao Lin was someone he clicked with!

"Haha, sir, you flatter me. To be able to brew tea, discuss philosophy, and exchange various interesting stories with you is truly one of life's greatest pleasures!"

Three days is all it takes; Xiao Lin can certainly afford to wait.

If he could use this to build a good relationship with a Six-Star Dou Sheng and Ninth-Grade Profound Pill Alchemist, Xiao Lin would be willing to do it for three years, let alone three!

Moreover, he genuinely enjoyed his interactions with the Old Man Shennong.

"Yes, it's an honor to be able to exchange these ideas with Palace Master Lin Xiao! However, I should still hand over the Medicinal Pills you entrusted me to refine!"

Palace Master Lin Xiao, you have lived up to your mission! Two Life Creation Pills have been successfully refined!

After speaking, Old Man Shennong took two jade bottles made of top-grade warm jade from his Storage Ring and handed them to Xiao Lin.

"Phew~"

Looking at the two jade bottles handed over by the Old Man Shennong, Xiao Lin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Finally, he could do something for his son and daughter-in-law!

Without further hesitation, Xiao Lin slowly took the two jade bottles from the Old Man Shennong.

And each of these two jade bottles clearly contained a Life Creation Pill!

"Thank you in advance, sir!"

After carefully storing the two jade bottles into his Storage Ring, Xiao Lin once again solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Old Man Shennong.

"Palace Master Lin Xiao, you're too kind. The reward I received from you has far exceeded my expectations! If I still couldn't refine the Medicinal Pills for you, I, this old man, would have no face to show my face!"

Old Man Shennong, waved his hand and said with a smile.

Afterwards, Xiao Lin stayed in the small space created by Old Man Shennong for another day before finally bidding farewell and leaving.

After leaving the Old Man Shennong, Xiao Lin did not linger at all and headed straight for the Northwest Continent!

Before long, Xiao Lin had returned to the Xiao Household in Wutan City of the Jia Ma Empire!

Furthermore, Xiao Lin immediately called his son Xiao Zhan and daughter-in-law Yang Xiyue over.
