He Qingtang looked at the pills with surprise, wondering what Lin An meant.
He naturally recognized it as the Black-Yellow Immortal Pill, a cultivation pill taken by those in the Immortal Realm. But now that the other party was asking him to take it, could it be that this pill has some special effect?
Without saying a word, He Qingtang took the pill and swallowed it.
As the pills began to be refined, He Qingtang soon revealed a look of shock.
"This pill is actually three times more effective than the ordinary Black-Yellow Immortal Pill."
He Qingtang looked at Lin An, "Brother Lin, did you really refine this pill?"
Lin An smiled and nodded, "What does the City Lord think the value of this pill is?"
After thinking for a moment, He Qingtang roughly understood why Lin An had come to him.
"If this pill were exchanged in the trading hall, it would cost at least 11,000 contribution points per pill."
"After all, although this pill is only three times more effective than a regular Black-Yellow Immortal Pill, its refining speed is also three times faster."
"However, if Brother Lin sells it to the Trading Hall, I estimate it will be worth about 10,000 contribution points," He Qingtang said.
Lin An nodded; this was pretty much what he had expected.
"Does the city lord have the time to help me sell these pills?" Lin An asked, taking out five thousand Black-Yellow Immortal Pill.
He Qingtang was also stunned when he saw so many pills; he hadn't expected Lin An to have so many.
"All of them have triple effect?"
"That's right."
"It seems Brother Lin's alchemy skills far surpass those of others."
He Qingtang smiled, but he didn't intend to ask any more questions. "Leave this to me."
He had already understood Lin An's thoughts; the other party didn't want to reveal his identity as an alchemist.
"Furthermore, I request that the City Lord exchange all the contribution points he has received for materials to refine the Profound Black-Yellow Immortal Pill," Lin An said.
He Qingtang raised an eyebrow. That's fifty million contribution points. If it were all converted into materials, how long would it take the other party to refine them all?
However, seeing Lin An's smiling face, he ultimately didn't say anything more.
Such prodigies have their reasons for acting; if he could understand them, he too would have been able to leave his mark on the Battle Ranking back then.
I should just stick to being a tool.
"Brother Lin, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
He Qingtang then left the City Lord's Residence, and Lin An waited quietly.
About fifteen minutes later, He Qingtang returned, bringing with him five thousand sets of materials for refining the Black-Yellow Immortal Pill.
"Thank you for your trouble, Lord City Lord."
Lin An took the materials, chatted with the other party for a few words, and then said goodbye and left.
After returning to his residence, Lin An resumed refining pills.
This time, he spent about half a month refining all five thousand portions of materials, obtaining 45,000 Black-Yellow Immortal Pill.
Among them are 10,000 Black-Yellow Immortal Pill with triple effects, which are to be sold.
However, Lin An was not in a hurry to find He Qingtang. He currently had 40,000 Mystic Fantasy Immortal Pill, which was enough for him to cultivate for a period of time.
"Forty thousand Black-Yellow Immortal Pill should be enough for me to break through to the Immortal Seventh Grade."
Thinking it over, Lin An took out the pill, swallowed it, and entered a state of cultivation.
Cultivation knows no time.
With the time flow accelerated a hundredfold, Lin An rapidly refined one Black-Yellow Immortal Pill after another.
Two months later, after refining more than 6,000 Black-Yellow Immortal Pill, Lin An successfully reached the Immortal Sixth Grade.
But he still didn't stop.
Another six months passed, and after refining about 20,000 Mystic Fantasy Immortal Pill, he successfully broke through to the Immortal Seventh Grade.
Although he still had more than 10,000 Black-Yellow Immortal Pill, Lin An did not continue cultivating.
After all, once he reaches the Immortal Eighth Grade, his name will disappear from the Battle Ranking, and he will also lose the opportunity to enter the Sacred Realm.
"Eight months have passed, and the opening of the Sacred Realm is estimated to be about four months away. I also need to reserve one month to deal with the challenge from all races, which means I have three months to prepare."
"Let's use these three months to improve our talent effects."
Thinking it over, Lin An left the mansion and found He Qingtang again.
"Brother Lin, the pills you refined last time were truly excellent. Word has spread far and wide, and it's said that quite a few Immortal alchemists are even researching them."
He Qingtang smiled and said, "By the way, what brings you here today, Brother Lin?"
Lin An didn't speak, but instead took out another ten thousand Black-Yellow Immortal Pill and looked at the other party with a smile.
Looking at so many pills, He Qingtang fell silent, and his gaze towards Lin An became strange.
What kind of monster is this? Not only is he incredibly powerful in combat, but he also possesses such terrifying talent in alchemy.
This is ten thousand Black-Yellow Immortal Pill. Other Immortal Pill Masters would need at least three or four years to refine this many, but this person refined them in less than a year.
Moreover, its effect is three times that of alchemists refined by other Immortal alchemists.
"Should I still exchange for materials to refine the Black-Yellow Immortal Pill?"
He Qingtang didn't inquire about Lin An's background. After putting away the pills, he asked...
"No, this time I'll exchange it for materials to refine an Immortal Rank treasure."
Lin An handed a form to the other party as he spoke.
Looking at the materials list, He Qingtang remained silent for a moment, then asked incredulously, "Are you sure you're going to use all 100 million contribution points to buy materials for crafting a single treasure?"
That's a contribution value of 100 million, not 10,000 or 20,000.
"And aren't you an alchemist? What are you buying these materials for crafting magical artifacts for?"
"Lord of the city, you may not know this, but besides alchemy, I also have some knowledge of weapon crafting."
Do you know a little?
He Qingtang's lips twitched. The materials you're buying are basically all of the Immortal Rank, so you're obviously going to refine an Immortal Rank treasure.
You, an Immortal Rank weapon refiner, are telling me you know a little bit?
"Wait."
He Qingtang didn't ask any more questions and left directly.
What kind of monster is this? Not only can he refine pills, but he can also forge weapons, and he's even reached the Immortal Rank.
How could such a desolate place as the Domain cultivate a powerful prodigy who is skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting?
Could it be that the Domain has undergone a complete transformation?
Soon He Qingtang returned to the City Lord's Residence and brought back the materials Lin An had requested.
"Thank you for your help, City Lord," Lin An said with a cupped-hand salute and a smile.
"I'm just running errands, it's nothing."
"However, you should already know about the Sacred Realm. It's estimated that the Sacred Realm will open in another four or five months. I think you should focus on improving your strength during this time," He Qingtang said.
The Immortal Fourth Grade is still not enough; one should at least raise their realm to the Immortal Fifth Grade.
It's no wonder he didn't know Lin An had already reached the Immortal Seventh Grade, because Lin An had only demonstrated the Immortal Fourth Grade.
Although the Battle Ranking can reveal Lin An's cultivation level, the information will only be updated after Lin An has participated in a battle.
Therefore, Lin An's current cultivation level on the Battle Ranking is still Immortal Fourth Grade.
"Did the Council of Elders come to ask?" Lin An asked.
He Qingtang nodded, then smiled and said, "Of course, that's what I think too."
Lin An nodded, and then his aura Immortal Seventh Grade was unleashed.
"The city lord told the elders not to worry, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." Lin An finished speaking and left.
The smile on He Qingtang's face had frozen.
After a long pause, he slapped himself.
"They've already decided not to ask, why should I chime in?"
He Qingtang murmured, but his heart was in turmoil.
What kind of freak is this? He's only been in the Land of Rules for less than a year, and he's already broken through from the Immortal Fourth Grade to the Immortal Seventh Grade.
