Zi Yan's Condition
After giving a brief explanation to the Four Elders, Lin Qing inquired about the situation of the Great Elder. Upon learning that Su Qian was in the Inner Academy, Lin Qing led the group to Su Qian's Office.
After finding Su Qian, Lin Qing Su Qian briefly explained the situation to her.
Of course, he only talked about what he had spoken with the others. As for more important things, such as the Ancient Emperor's Mansion and Zhu Kun, Lin Qing didn't even tell the people around him.
However, he still told Su Qian about the Lizardmen, including the existence of Dou Venerable and Semi-Saint among them, and that they could not leave the magma.
"I never imagined there were such terrifying Lizardmen beneath the lava! No wonder the Headmaster forbade us from exploring the Magma World."
After saying that, Su Qian got up and went to a cabinet, took out a wooden box from it, and placed it in front of Lin Qing, indicating that Lin Qing should open it.
Lin Qing opened the wooden box and found dozens of Dan Bead inside.
"These are the Dan Bead the Headmaster obtained when he found the Fallen Heart Flame beneath the magma. He got them from a Lizardmen at the Dou Venerable level, and some others he also found during his exploration. Since they're useful to you, I'm giving them all to you!"
"He didn't dare to go deep down at the time, he just said there was something terrifying down there and told us not to go into the lava pits. I never expected it to be true!"
Su Qian stroked his beard, filled with emotion.
"Fortunately, they can't survive without magma! The Great Thousand World is truly full of wonders!"
Lin Qing put away the Dan Bead and glanced at Su Qian, agreeing, "Yes!"
If he didn't know that the Great Elder in front of him wasn't a transmigrator, he would have thought that the Great Elder came from the Great Thousand World.
"Oh! Right! This time during my seclusion, my strength has improved significantly, and I'm now much more confident in refining Seventh-Grade Pill. I have a few Medicinal Pill Formula here for the Dou Zong stage. If the academy has the materials, I can refine them for everyone for free. Of course, the materials still need to be prepared in three sets, as per the previous rule!"
After speaking, Lin Qing took out three scrolls and handed them to Su Qian.
In fact, he can produce pills with just one batch. His soul realm has reached the Spirit Realm Perfection. He may lack some experience in refining some Eighth-Grade Pill, but he can still refine some Seventh-Grade.
But he'd rather earn whatever he could; it's just a matter of how much. As for refining one Medicinal Pill from two Medicinal Herbs, Lin Qing could only say that he was only doing it for free because of the bond between him and the academy. You see, outside, if you want Alchemist to refine Medicinal Pill, you not only have to prepare the materials, but also the payment.
Su Qian opened the scroll Lin Qing had given him with some confusion. After reading the information on it, he stood up excitedly, his voice trembling slightly, and said:
"Can you really refine these three kinds of Medicinal Pill?"
These three Medicinal Pills are the Seventh-Grade Advanced Pill, Sect Extreme Pill, which can stably enhance the strength of One-Star Dou Zong Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill, Sect Origin Pill, which can stably enhance the strength of Dou Zong at the second star level; and the high-grade Seventh-Grade Dilong Dan, which accelerates the cultivation speed of Dou Zong cultivators, with an effect lasting one year.
"That's natural!"
Seeing Lin Qing's confident demeanor, Su Qian ultimately did not refuse. He decided that even if he had to send people to Central Plains, he would gather as many people as possible.
Even he would be extremely envious of Medicinal Pill that could enhance one's strength, because once you miss this opportunity, you'll never have it again.
"Alright, I'll try my best to get the academy to gather the materials!"
After asking about recent developments, Lin Qing led the group away.
"That kid's really lucky!"
Standing at the window watching Lin Qing and his group leave, Su Qian chuckled softly.
After leaving Su Qian's place, Lin Qing returned to her own Small Courtyard.
At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian, dressed in a white dress, was watering the beautiful flowers in the courtyard with a watering can.
Dewdrops clung to the delicate petals, making them exquisite, translucent, and luminous.
A gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers swept by, ruffling her hair and billowing her long dress.
When the courtyard gate opened, her eyes swept across it and she realized it was the person she had been longing for. Xiao Yi Xian gently put down the water jug, rushed forward, and hugged Lin Qing tightly.
"Young master, you're back!"
Tian Huo and Little Marten, being quite perceptive, turned their heads to observe the scenery of the Small Courtyard. Caidie and Cailin, seeing the two embracing each other, frowned almost imperceptibly, feeling inexplicably irritated, as if their territory had been invaded. A surge of anger rose in their hearts, and they couldn't help but snort softly.
"Snort!"
"Ah!"
When Xiao Yi Xian realized there were other people around, she gasped in surprise and quickly buried her face in Lin Qing's chest.
"Yes, I'm back! I've made great progress!"
As the warm, soft jade embraced him, Lin Qing gently stroked Xiao Yi Xian's black hair and praised her.
With his soul at that level, he could immediately discern Xiao Yi Xian's current cultivation level, as well as Qing Lin's cultivation.
After being away for more than half a year, Xiao Yi Xian has advanced from Four-Star Dou Ling to Nine-Star Dou Spirit, a very rapid pace of progress.
Meanwhile, Qing Lin, who was in the room, had also reached the level of One-Star Dou Wang.
Presumably, the people around him could all reach the Dou Wang or above before returning to the Jia Ma Empire. There was still more than a year before the start of the story, so he had plenty of time.
However, considering the butterfly effect, in order to deal with the Soul Clan and the Soul Hall with ease, it is necessary to enhance the strength of oneself and those around one's own people as much as possible, especially Zi Yan, Cailin, Caidie, and Qing Lin. These four have the opportunity to become saints like oneself. In addition, with Ling Qingzhu and the other girls, they will be an important team for one's future conquest of the continent and journey to the Great Thousand World.
After lingering for a while, the two parted ways, and Lin Qing then introduced Little Marten and the others to Xiao Yi Xian.
"Greetings, Venerable Tian Huo." Xiao Yi Xian greeted Venerable Tian Huo politely, then turned her gaze to the Little Marten who had transformed into human form. "Little Marten is really handsome!"
Little Marten could only give an awkward smile. As Lin Qing's subordinate, he naturally understood Lin's personality: loyal and righteous, but also extremely protective of his own. Therefore, he dared not provoke him.
After making arrangements for the group, Cailin left the Inner Academy with the Medicinal Pill prepared by Lin Qing and the Venerable Tian Huo Little Marten. Her task was naturally to arrange for the two to enter the Azure Green Emperor Pavilion and allow it to begin expanding outwards.
Lin Qing walked to Zi Yan's room, pushed open the door, and went inside.
Inside the room, a purple light wafted, and on the bed lay a purple Light Cocoon over ten feet wide. Although the contents of the cocoon were not visible, the immense energy contained within it indicated that this was no ordinary object.
The purple light on the surface of the Light Cocoon flickers, like the rhythm of a heartbeat. If someone with keen senses were present, they would be able to detect that whenever the light on the Light Cocoon changes, the energy of heaven and earth in the room will fluctuate slightly. Then, all that energy will be absorbed into the Light Cocoon, making the light on the cocoon even brighter.
Lin Qing placed her hand on the Light Cocoon and said softly:
"It'll be soon! I hope you get through quarantine smoothly!"
Zi Yan inside the Light Cocoon seemed to have heard Lin Qing's words, Light Cocoon lit up rapidly!
