Before Leaving

The auction concluded with the Heavenly Heart Empire's royal family bidding a two-colored Yuan-replenishing pill for a high price, along with a scroll of an eighth-grade five-colored pill formula and a Hunyuan Zunji pill formula. The two-colored Yuan-replenishing pill, when taken once, unconditionally increases lifespan by 100 years.

Of course, for those Dou Sheng Experts who are on the verge of death, this kind of Medicinal Pill can only increase their chances of going all out a few more times.

The Hunyuan Zunji Pill, with no side effects, enhances the strength of a first-star Dou Zun cultivator. Its formula differs from the Zunji Pill; both can be taken together to accelerate the advancement to Half-Saint.

To Lin Qing's surprise, the Soul Hall didn't send anyone to cause trouble this time. Logically speaking, given the soul of a high-level Alchemist, his status as a relative of the Xiao Clan, and the disappearance of several Protector, even if no definite information could be found, some clever people should still be able to guess some things. He should have started to come into the Soul Hall's sights by now. Given the personality of those people in the Soul Hall, they should have sent someone even if it was an outsourced job. But not a single Protector came.

I don't know just how terrible the information processing ability of those Soul Hall Soul Clan people who like to outsource is, that no one has come to him yet.

"Sect Master, this is the auction venue for this event," Hai Bodong said, his face beaming as he respectfully handed a Storage Ring to Lin Qing.

In the past, he wasn't even qualified to touch the items at these auctions, but this time he had the opportunity to host, which allowed him, who liked to show off, to put on a grand show all at once.

He had been subdued by Lin Qing, and he thought he would be lucky to escape with his life. He never imagined things would turn out this way. Fate is truly amazing.

"This is what we've reaped this time! Come on, everyone, pick out what you need!" Lin Qing took the Storage Ring, and with a flick of his wrist, a huge pile of items filled the entire living room.

Looking at the mountain of Jade Box and scrolls filled with Medicinal Herb in the hall, Zi Yan couldn't resist jumping into them and rolling around in Jade Box pile. Then she picked up a Jade Box, sniffed it gently, and opened it. In the center of the Jade Box lay a blood-red fruit that emitted an enticing fragrance.

This fruit is a Vermilion Fruit with medicinal power reaching the Tier 7.

Next, she opened several Jade Box, all of which contained high-grade Medicinal Herb that emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.

Zi Yan couldn't help but cheer, "Wow! So many Medicinal Herbs! We can refine so many Medicinal Pellet!"

A classic roar of a hungry dragon! Although she wasn't actually hungry, she was just craving something.

Lin Qing patted Zi Yan's head and laughed, "I'll refine more Medicinal Pill for you guys later!"

Hearing Lin Qing's words and feeling the warm hand on her head, Zi Yan smiled faintly and couldn't help but squint her eyes comfortably.

It could be said that because everyone around her was growing up, she had developed an obsession with growing up. Coupled with the hunger she endured before transforming into human form, Zi Yan had absolutely no resistance to food, especially anything that could help her grow.

Lin Qing had experienced this situation in his previous life as well. He was short of money and starving. In such cases, one needs to leave that terrible environment and then spend a long time healing the emotional wounds.

Based on his observation, Zi Yan's condition would take several decades or even a hundred years to improve. The reason it would take so long is because Magical Beast have a different concept of time than humans. One or two years is only one or two months in their eyes, which can pass in the blink of an eye.

Although Zi Yan transformed into human form early on and never ate humans like some Magical Beast, and everyone had long since treated her as human, she was still influenced by her Magical Beast bloodline at heart. Some concepts passed down through bloodlines still existed, such as the concept of time, the idea of eating, and the idea of differentiating strength based on bloodline. Even after Su Qian's teachings, these concepts were difficult to shake off.

Fortunately, Zi Yan wasn't born a demon, and Su Qian was a decent person. Apart from being a bit repressed, the students at the Jia Nan Academy were generally normal; otherwise, she would definitely be a troublemaker.

After distributing everything, Lin Qing dismissed everyone around him. Next, he was going to refine Medicinal Pill, but what he really wanted was to go into seclusion and break through to the Dou Venerable.

Unfortunately, it's no longer possible to go down to the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. Because of the large number of Lizardmen hunted, two Semi-Saint- level Lizardmen have come to camp at the base of the tower. The Semi-Saint- level Puppet can only hold off one of them at most, as Semi-Saint are on a completely different level from ordinary Lizardmen who don't have control over space. They can't do anything about the other one right now. Fortunately, they can't come up, otherwise Jia Nan Academy would have to relocate ahead of schedule.

If it weren't for the fact that he was Semi-Saint level Lizardmen, he could have actually harvested all the Dou Zong and Dou Venerable level individuals among the Lizardmen with the Ancestor Symbol, and then taken Little Zi Yan to find the Prison Dragon Emperor to ask for some treasures, and also ask him how to use the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. After all, Eastern Dragon Island only knew about this thing, but had no idea how to use the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.

In the end, Zi Yan was allowed to eat it directly, but it turned into an energy crystal due to indigestion. The Alchemist then had to refine it like medicine for Zi Yan to absorb.

That would be such a waste. You should know that the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit can replenish the origin and enhance the bloodline of Magical Beast with dragon and phoenix bloodlines. In addition, with the energy it contains, if it were refined into Medicinal Pill, it would definitely not be as simple as just raising one to Four-Star Dou Sheng. Even if it is not refined into Ninth-grade Pill, it should be paired with some high-grade Medicinal Pill to aid absorption.

However, given that Zi Yan ate all those ancient relics on Eastern Dragon Island that had lived for countless years, it's possible that no one on Ancient Dragon Island really knows about them anymore.

Perhaps Zhu Kun, this ancient dragon who has lived for an unknown amount of time, should know something.

However, Lin Qing still decided to see if there were any system rewards. If there were no rewards, he would wait until his strength was high enough to find Zhu Kun and ask him for clarification. Whether he would be left at the entrance of the Ancient Emperor's Mansion and guard the gate with the Prison Dragon Emperor without the complete Ancient Jade was also unknown. Judging from Xiao Yan's situation, he should not be left behind.

It's always best to be careful; it would be a tragedy if we were left behind.

There are Dou Sheng on Eastern Dragon Island. We can send them to inquire about it. Even if they are left behind, it won't be a big loss.

Without the abundance of Dan Bead and the plentiful environment of Fire Energy, breaking through to the Dou Venerable level in seclusion would take years, something he couldn't afford to lose. With the Soul Clan looming above him, his biggest need right now was time. Although he was currently just a drop of water in the ocean compared to the Dou Qi Continent, he didn't know if he would cause a butterfly effect.

Ultimately, it all comes down to strength! Unable to resist clicking his tongue, Lin Qing returned to his Pocket World to begin his alchemy career. He was still some distance from becoming Dou Venerable, so he decided to focus on alchemy first!

After all, this trip will last at least one or two years, and possibly five or six years. Not only do I need to leave behind some Medicinal Pill, but I also need to prepare some Medicinal Pill that I can use. The Central Plains Continent is more than ten thousand miles away from the Northwest Continent. When going on a long journey, it is not excessive to prepare as much as possible.
