"Guest, you are a distinguished guest of the Li Clan. Everything you buy from the Li Clan will be 20% off," the man explained with a smile.
Lin An suddenly realized that this discount was much greater than that of the purple cards from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
Since there were extra materials, Lin An naturally wouldn't refuse. After putting the items away, he left the Hall of Contribution.
Getting back will be much faster now that we know the way. With a wave of his hand, Lin An led Zhao Tong back to the courtyard.
"I will be in seclusion for the next few days, so please do not disturb me unless it is absolutely necessary," Lin An said.
"We obey your command," Zhao Tong and his four companions bowed and said.
Lin An nodded, and then went to the alchemy room next door.
After setting up the restriction, Lin An also took out the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire Furnace, refined it, and then took out the materials to begin refining.
With the protection of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure, Lin An found that he could refine the Sovereign Pill even faster.
Previously, it would have taken at least two months to refine these thousand-plus portions of materials, but now it's estimated that they can all be refined in a month.
While Lin An was refining the elixir, some strangers also came to the Li Clan.
"Have you heard? Tao Yan and Bai Zixuan from the Eastern Extremity Region have come to our Li Clan. Both of them are array masters from the Eastern Extremity Region, and they came to our Li Clan for an exchange."
"That's not all. People from the Southern Gloom Region and the Northern Cold Region have also come, and they are top array masters from both domains."
"I never expected these people to suddenly come to our Li Clan, especially Xu Ming from the Northern Cold Region. It is said that not only has his cultivation reached the Sovereign Realm Ninth Grade, but his mastery of formations has also reached its limit, touching the level of Immortal."
"Moreover, I heard that in order to seek a breakthrough, he also practiced alchemy and weapon crafting, and reached the Sovereign Rank as well. He can be described as an unparalleled genius. A Domain Lord once predicted that Xu Ming would be able to break through to the Immortal Realm in at most a hundred years."
"..."
With the arrival of the strangers at the Li Clan, the Li Clan members naturally received the news.
The Li Clan's senior members came out to welcome them, and a discussion ensued, from which both sides gained something.
Most of the Li Clan members did not know why these people from the three regions had suddenly come to the Li Clan, and they really thought it was just for exchanging formations.
Only the upper echelons of the Li Clan knew that the main purpose of these people's arrival was to inherit the Li Clan's Immortal formation technique.
"Brother Tao, I didn't expect to see you here today. It's been many years since we last met."
"Brother Xu, you're too kind. I've heard that your mastery of formations has reached its limit, and even your alchemy and weapon crafting have reached the Sovereign Rank. With the Li Clan's Immortal inheritance, you will surely be able to elevate your formation skills to the Immortal realm."
"Brother Tao, you are mistaken. Although there is Immortal legacy, whether one can obtain it is still unknown. Everyone here has a chance."
"..."
The people from various regions sat together and chatted. Those who were able to come here all had the background of a domain lord to some extent; otherwise, they would not have been able to obtain a spot to come to the Li Clan.
"I heard that the person who helped the Li Clan find the key to their inheritance is also going to enter the Land of Inheritance. He must be a Sovereign Rank array master. I wonder why he hasn't shown up yet?" Bai Zixuan asked from the side.
Everyone looked on with curiosity; they all knew some of the inside story and naturally knew of Lin An's existence.
"As you all may not know, after that Lin An came to my Li Clan, he purchased a lot of alchemy materials. He should be busy refining pills now, and we didn't want to disturb him, so we didn't show ourselves. Please don't take offense," said Li Qiyuan, the head of the Li Clan, with a smile.
These people in front of us are not weak; the weakest among them is at least Sovereign Realm Seventh Grade.
Tao Yan and Xu Ming had even reached the Sovereign Realm Ninth Grade, which was no weaker than his, so naturally he, as the head of the family, needed to personally receive them.
"Oh? This Fellow Lin An, like Brother Xu, also cultivates alchemy in addition to array formations." The crowd exclaimed in surprise.
Generally speaking, few people cultivate two paths simultaneously, since if you include cultivation, that would be three paths.
The effort and time required will increase significantly, and a large amount of wealth will be needed to support it.
If you focus your efforts on cultivating several paths, you may end up knowing a little about everything but mastering none of them.
Someone like Xu Ming, who can simultaneously cultivate array formations, alchemy, and weapon crafting to the Sovereign Rank, is not only exceptionally talented, but most importantly, has an Immortal Realm father.
That's why everyone was surprised when they heard that Lin An was learning both formations and alchemy at the same time.
"I wonder what the background of this Lin An is?" Xu Ming asked curiously.
He dared to be distracted by multiple paths because his father was Immortal Realm, but why did the other party dare to do so?
"This... I really don't know. Fellow Lin An is, after all, a benefactor of the Li Clan. If he doesn't want to say, the Li Clan won't press him," Li Qiyuan said.
At the same time, his way of addressing Lin An also changed. After all, everyone present called Lin An "fellow Daoist," so if he were to call him "young friend" again, wouldn't that make him a generation above these people?
"No rush. Once the Land of Inheritance open, we'll naturally meet Lin An, and then we can have a chat," Xu Ming said with a smile.
Everyone nodded and did not pursue the matter further.
They naturally didn't dislike Lin An Lin An just because he hadn't shown up; on the contrary, they felt more favorably towards Lin An.
After all, they knew very well that they were able to come here entirely because of Lin An.
If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have had the chance to enter the Land of Inheritance of the Immortal Dao of Formations, so they were indirectly indebted to Lin An.
Soon everyone moved on from Lin An's topic and continued talking about other things.
Time passed slowly; three days was not a long time, and the group sat and discussed the Dao, and it passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the alchemy room.
Lin An finished refining a new batch of pills and stopped refining pills.
In three days, he refined a total of more than nine hundred Sovereign Pill, but these pills were still too few. Even if he refined them all, they would not be enough to help him break through to the Sovereign Realm Seventh Grade.
"It's almost time. We can refine the remaining pills after we leave the Land of Inheritance. Let's focus on obtaining the Immortal Inheritance first."
Thinking it over, Lin An put away the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire Furnace and walked out of the alchemy room.
Just as he stepped out, a void rift appeared, and the three patriarchs Li Tan and his two ancestors, emerged from it.
