Refining a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Leaving the East Sea

Lin Changsheng had already made up his mind: once he obtained another Alchemy Furnace, he would leave the Dragon Clan.

Otherwise, once Ancestor Dragon emerged from seclusion, it would not be so easy.

"Good, good, good. As expected of a prodigy of our clan."

"However, alchemy is an extremely time-consuming art."

"Merely grasping the laws means you have comprehended the Great Dao of Alchemy. Whether you can succeed still depends on constant experimentation."

"So you must not spend too much time on it."

Ao Xue cautioned him.

What he said was indeed true.

Although Lin Changsheng had already comprehended the Great Dao of Alchemy,

that was merely the prerequisite for alchemy.

To successfully refine pills, one needed constant experimentation.

It truly consumed Spiritual Materials and time.

However, once one could proficiently refine pills, Pill Masters were also highly sought after.

Lin Changsheng had already demonstrated his talent, so Ao Xue naturally could not say much.

He could only offer a slight reminder.

"Rest assured, Grandfather. I understand."

Lin Changsheng nodded.

"That is good."

"However, Grandfather does not have any Alchemy Furnace-type Spiritual Treasures here. We will need to apply to the treasury."

"Right, tell Grandfather what other Spiritual Materials you need as well."

Alchemy Furnace-type Spiritual Treasures were relatively scarce.

Moreover, Ao Xue did not intend to casually take out some low-grade Spiritual Treasure to fob off Ao Rui.

As before, once you demonstrated your value, you could obtain the corresponding resources.

"Alright."

Lin Changsheng was not polite in the slightest.

He directly listed all the Spiritual Materials needed to refine Four-revolution Pills for the Golden Immortal Stage.

At the same time, he also named the materials required for the Five-revolution Golden Elixir.

The Dragon Clan possessed immense wealth. He would take as much as he could.

Ao Xue was startled after hearing him out.

"Ao Rui, the Spiritual Materials you want are all extremely old and rather rare."

"Grandfather cannot guarantee that I can gather all of them."

"After all, you have not truly become the Dragon Clan Heir yet."

The Dragon Clan's resources could not simply be claimed at will.

Even though Ao Xue was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he could not freely draw upon resources.

Lin Changsheng expressed his understanding.

Ao Xue hurriedly left, then returned again before long.

"Ao Rui, this is the High-grade Innate Alchemy Furnace, the Purple Furnace."

"It is the finest Alchemy Furnace Grandfather can provide."

A wholly purple Alchemy Furnace appeared in Ao Xue's hand.

High-grade Innate.

Lin Changsheng's eyes lit up.

It would be enough for him to use for a very long time.

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Lin Changsheng accepted the Alchemy Furnace without hesitation.

"These are the Spiritual Materials you asked for."

"I obtained several thousand sets of the common ones for you. There are only a few hundred sets of the rare ones, and some are unavailable."

Ao Xue handed another massive pile of Spiritual Materials to Lin Changsheng.

Lin Changsheng swept them with his divine sense. The materials for the Four-Revolving Golden Elixir had all been gathered.

He could refine at least dozens of pills with them. That was enough.

As for the Spiritual Materials required for the Five-revolution Golden Elixir, quite a few were still missing.

But that was understandable.

He had only received so many resources because he was about to become the Dragon Clan Heir.

"Ao Rui, Ancestor Dragon will emerge from seclusion in another thousand years."

"Stay in the Dragon Palace during this time."

Ao Xue said with a smile.

Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

If I stay here, how am I supposed to run away?

Don't be ridiculous.

"Grandfather, I plan to return to my cave dwelling and enter seclusion for the remaining thousand years."

"When Ancestor Dragon emerges from seclusion, I will return to the Dragon Palace."

Lin Changsheng said through gritted teeth.

"Return to your own cave dwelling?"

"Ao Rui, your status is no longer what it used to be. You will not face gossip if you stay in the Dragon Palace."

"Besides, only in the Dragon Palace can your safety be guaranteed."

Ao Xue could not understand why Ao Rui still wanted to return to his own cave dwelling.

Staying here would be much safer.

"Grandfather, there is no need to worry so much."

"Since I am the heir personally acknowledged by Ancestor Dragon, the other Dragon Clan members would not dare attack me in secret."

"And the East Sea is Dragon Clan territory, incomparably safe."

"Only by returning to my cave dwelling can I focus on refining pills in peace."

Lin Changsheng insisted.

Ao Xue fell silent for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

"If you insist, then do as you wish."

"I will clear out all sea clans within a million kilometers of your cave dwelling."

"And remember, you must come to the Dragon Palace in a thousand years."

Ao Xue could not help reminding him.

He also had many matters to attend to during these thousand years.

He might not have time to look after Lin Changsheng.

Returning to his own cave dwelling was fine as well.

"Alright."

Lin Changsheng nodded, then left the Dragon Palace.

Having finally returned to his cave dwelling, Lin Changsheng began considering his next move.

For now, he definitely could not remain in the East Sea.

Then he would go to the Eastern Continent.

He had heard that Buzhou Mountain was extremely rich in resources, so he could go explore it.

However, he was currently the focus of the Dragon Clan. Although no dragon would dare act against him, some might be watching him.

For the time being, he should stay obediently in his cave dwelling.

With a plan in mind, Lin Changsheng relaxed.

He could finally examine the talent he had unlocked.

[Fifth Talent: Immeasurable Merit (Unlocked).]

Immeasurable Merit: As long as you do something beneficial to the operation of the Heavenly Dao and the development of the Primordial Wilderness, you can obtain Merit.

Friendly reminder: Obtaining Merit causes quite a commotion, so make sure you are not discovered.

"Immeasurable Merit?"

"This is quite a good talent."

In the Primordial Wilderness, Merit was a universal resource.

It was akin to something like origin essence.

Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, and others had attained the Dao through Merit.

If Lin Changsheng could acquire Merit in advance, it would certainly bring immense benefits to his cultivation and future.

However, he would need to carefully explore what kinds of actions benefited the operation of the Primordial Wilderness in the future.

After gaining a general understanding of this talent, Lin Changsheng began refining the Purple Furnace.

A High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure possessed between twenty-five and thirty-six Innate Restrictions.

This Purple Furnace actually possessed thirty-five Innate Restrictions.

Its quality could be considered exceptionally high even among High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

With Lin Changsheng's current cultivation, he could only refine it superficially.

Especially since he did not have much time.

In the blink of an eye, six hundred years passed.

Lin Changsheng remained holed up in his cave dwelling the entire time, causing the other Dragon Clan members watching him to lose interest.

They turned their attention toward the Dragon Palace instead.

After all, Ancestor Dragon was about to emerge from seclusion. This was a major event for the Dragon Clan.

Then, on this day, Lin Changsheng awoke from seclusion as well.

"I have refined fifteen Innate Restrictions."

"I can barely use it now."

"It is time to leave."

With a thought from Lin Changsheng, the Purple Furnace was withdrawn into his body.

After determining the direction, Lin Changsheng used the Five Elements Evasion Technique and swiftly fled the East Sea.

Several decades later, he finally saw the East Sea Shore.

It is about time to sever the Karma Thread.

But it would be best to find a reasonable excuse.

Otherwise, I am afraid it might arouse Ancestor Dragon's suspicions.

Thinking this, Lin Changsheng used the [Eye of Insight] to scan his surroundings.

[Prompt: Thirty-one hundred thousand kilometers from you, a Mid Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Fierce Beast, a Golden-winged Three-eyed Eagle, is resting.]

A Mid Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Fierce Beast!

Lin Changsheng's eyes lit up. You will do!
