Chapter 107: Lin Fan Creates a Technique! Lu Ming Makes an Appearance ~ Thousand Transformations Technique (Part 1)

Jin Zhen had already figured it out.

For a capable alchemist, what is the least valuable?

The pills they can refine themselves! As long as they have the materials and time, they can refine them.

Pills that are incredibly precious and impossible for others to afford are nothing to an alchemist who can refine them at will. If he just builds a good relationship with Xiao Ling'er... then sends some gifts, especially a lot of spirit herbs! Later on, would he still have to worry about not having enough Harmony Pills to eat?

Now, Xiao Ling'er indeed finds it extremely difficult and tiring to refine Harmony Pills, but she can do it! In the future, once her strength improves, wouldn't it be just a matter of a simple task?

Yes, he needs to show his intentions now!

"By the way."

"Actually," Jin Zhen changed his tone, "I came to tell you that the basic forging skills of your Moonseizing Sect disciples are too poor. Even with my full effort every year, they don't learn much."

"Even if they can forge, it's just barely passable."

"Therefore, I have decided..."

"to stay in the Moonseizing Sect permanently!"

"Whenever your sect's forging techniques reach a certain level, I will return!"

What difficulties do Fire Virtue Sect alchemists face?

What difficulties?

Are there such difficulties?

I've never heard of them!

I came here clearly to tell Xiao Ling'er that I have decided to stay in the Moonseizing Sect and teach forging techniques tirelessly!

Don't smear my reputation for no reason!

Otherwise, I won't let this go.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling'er was pleasantly surprised: "Is this true?!"

"Would it be too much trouble and delay for the senior?"

This is a great piece of news!

Forging is a weak point of the Moonseizing Sect. They originally thought that having the Fire Virtue Sect teach for one month every year, waiting ten to twenty years, or even a hundred years, the forging techniques of the Moonseizing Sect should barely meet the standard.

But if he stays permanently, wouldn't this time be shortened by more than ten times?

Wonderful!

"You're wrong!" Jin Zhen stiffened his neck, looking displeased, "Ling'er, what are you saying?!"

"Huoyun'er is a good child I've watched grow up, like my own. You and Huoyun'er are close as sisters, so you're like my child too! A small favor, what's the big deal?"

"How can you talk about trouble and delay? You're really looking down on me and the Fire Virtue Sect!"

"The Fire Virtue Sect is never short of forging masters. Even if I don't return for a while, it's no problem."

"Moreover, you've prepared such high-quality pills for me. This way, I can achieve twice the results with half the effort while cultivating in the Moonseizing Sect..."

"How can this be called a delay?!"

"This is a win-win!"

"Not only do both parties 'win,' but we also get things done without delaying ourselves, and we can even make further progress! This is a win-win."

Xiao Ling'er was overjoyed.

While praising Jin Zhen's words, she couldn't help but feel a bit strange.

She felt there was something off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

But~

Yao Mu in her mind chuckled, "This Jin Zhen is quite interesting, a man who knows his place."

"Why do you say that?" Xiao Ling'er was puzzled.

"Are you really believing him?" Yao Mu chuckled, "Do you really think he came to tell you that he's planning to stay in the Moonseizing Sect to teach your junior disciples forging techniques?"

"If that were true, why would his first reaction when seeing you so tired be to want to leave and come back at a more suitable time?"

"Would such good news make you even more tired?"

"Hmm?"

"Indeed, upon analysis, it doesn't make much sense. Then..."

"Why did Senior Jin change his mind?"

Yao Mu laughed even harder, "Still don't understand, silly child."

"Pills!"

"..."

"What do you mean, teacher?"

"Could it be anything else?"

Yao Mu sighed, "Two batches of materials, although one batch exploded, only one batch succeeded, but your luck and talent surpass even me!"

"In that one batch, you achieved a sixth rank, with nine pills!!"

"Sixth rank Harmony Pills, with Jin Zhen's current cultivation at the Seventh Stage Second Level, he has probably never taken them. You gave him three, how could he not be moved?"

"Especially when he knows these pills were refined by your own hands, how could he not try to build a closer relationship and befriend you?"

"Remember, you are just a Fifth Stage cultivator."

"Yet, you can still refine seventh rank pills of such high quality. Once you grow further, when you reach the Sixth Stage or Seventh Stage, the pills you can refine will be even more astonishing."

"He will naturally try to build a good relationship with you, making an early investment."

"

Xiao Ling'er understood.

This was not a profound truth.

She had always underestimated herself and been quite cautious, so she hadn't thought about it this way.

Now, with Yao Mu's guidance, everything became clear.

"So, Senior Jin is not sincere but has ulterior motives, and I should be cautious?"

"Why worry so much?"

Yao Mu smiled slightly.

"Don't always see yourself as an ordinary cultivator. Remember your other identity, an alchemist. And not just any alchemist, but one with monstrous talent, even a prodigy!"

"Others flattering and pleasing you is only natural."

"If they don't, you should be the one to be cautious!"

"Think back to my days, when... ahem, think back to my days, my reputation shook the four corners, countless Great Powers sought me out, and countless cultivators came with heavy gifts to meet me."

"Master, if I wish to do something, I don't need to act personally. I just need to slightly reveal my intentions, and countless Great Powers will take action on my behalf, handling everything perfectly!"

"This is all normal!"

"As your cultivation and alchemy skills improve, you will inevitably face similar situations in the future."

"Therefore, there's no need to worry or be nervous."

"Just deal with it calmly."

Pausing for a moment, Yao Mu's tone gradually became more serious: "But remember, don't be too easy to please, and don't smile at everyone. Otherwise, more and more people will come to trouble you. Even if they don't exhaust you, they will certainly annoy you to death."

"Also!"

"Learn to distinguish between good and bad, true and false."

"Don't think that everyone treats you sincerely. Most of them are just after benefits. In the end, it's all about mutual benefit!"

"Jin Zhen is also like this with you, for now."

"Mutual benefit, he gets what he wants, and you get what you need."

"However, there is a difference. Jin Zhen has taken a Heavenly Dao Oath, so he cannot harm the Moonseizing Sect or you. Therefore, there's no need to be overly cautious."

"He doesn't have any bad intentions. At least for now, he just wants to build a good relationship with you. This is one of the most common scenarios on your path of growth."

"As long as you understand the reality, it will be fine."

At this moment, it felt a bit 'bulky.'

But Yao Mu believed this was a necessary lesson.

Xiao Ling'er was too kind and had a very upright worldview. She didn't know how to refuse people. If she didn't learn this lesson now, she would surely suffer in the future.

Besides, as an alchemist, especially a top-tier alchemist...

Who isn't a bit shady?!

I worked hard to cultivate, study, and refine pills. The process was incredibly arduous, and I finally became a top-tier alchemist. Isn't it reasonable to make a bit of 'extra money'?

There's no such rule!

So~

Every top-tier alchemist, and even those with a bit of fame, are extremely wealthy.

Most importantly, they have the ability to call upon a hundred people with a single shout!

Many people seek them out!

"Even this little Jin Zhen has plenty of potential for profit."

In Xiao Ling'er's mind, Yao Mu chuckled, making a guess.

...

Xiao Ling'er was expressing her gratitude.

Jin Zhen, however, was displeased and urged Xiao Ling'er to speak up if she had anything to say.

Xiao Ling'er pondered and said, "Then... I'll have to trouble you, Senior."

"It's like this. I'm currently trying to refine a Harmony Pill, but the materials are hard to find. Right now, I don't have the materials, and as the saying goes, even a skilled housewife can't cook without ingredients."

"But Senior, you know the situation of the Moonseizing Sect. We can't provide these materials at the moment."

"So, I hope you can help me gather some materials. I'm willing to trade pills for them."

"One set of materials for one Fifth Rank Harmony Pill or higher!"

"Also, for Life Providence Elixirs and Sixth Rank, Seventh Rank Healing Elixirs, the same applies."

"As for what you do with the pills after you get them—whether you use them yourself or sell them—it's entirely up to you."

"Would you be willing to help me with this favor?"

Jin Zhen was taken aback, then overjoyed!

Goodness, you really gave me a scare!

Jin Zhen was pleasantly surprised.

Initially, seeing Xiao Ling'er's serious expression and the fact that she had taken out three Sixth Rank Harmony Pills to 'bribe' him before even starting the conversation, he instinctively thought this would be a very difficult task.

He even feared it might cost his life!

He had prepared for all sorts of difficulties.

But when she spoke, it was this??

Just this??

How big of a deal is this?

One set of materials for one Fifth Rank Harmony Pill or higher. Not to mention anything else, even if he bought the materials at market price and then sold the pills he got in exchange, he could still make a small profit!

Although it would be a bit troublesome and carry some risk, it wouldn't be a loss at all!

Bear in mind, even for ordinary alchemists...

Not to mention ordinary alchemists, even the strongest alchemist of the Fire Virtue Sect, Elder Seven, finds refining Harmony Pills quite challenging. If he gives him a set of materials, he will allow him to watch as he refines it on the spot.

If the furnace explodes?

Then it's time to wash up and go to bed.

If it succeeds?

Then he gets one pill.

Most likely a Third Rank, with a small chance of a Fourth Rank.

There's also about a 25% chance of the furnace exploding.

A Third Rank pill is a small loss, a Fourth Rank roughly breaks even, and an explosion is a direct loss.

Even so, this is already a skilled alchemist, and he's one of us.

If it were an ordinary alchemist outside, he would have to beg and plead, give materials and Essence Stones, and provide good food and a good attitude. Even then, whether it would succeed is uncertain.

Alchemists who guarantee a Third Rank pill are few and far between!

Or, alchemists who guarantee a Third Rank pill for Seventh Rank and higher pills are renowned in their regions, with countless people seeking their help!

Alchemists who guarantee a Fifth Rank pill?

They are either 'Elixir Kings' or major figures in Holy Lands.

Even for him, Jin Zhen, it would be very difficult to get them to take action!

Because...

Guarantee a Fifth Rank pill, not only won't it be a loss, but it can even make a small profit. Why would they refine it for their people or just refine it for themselves and make money, instead of giving you a discount?

But now~!

An opportunity has come!

This girl in front of me has such confidence, and she even offered to gather the materials herself.

Hiss!!

Will I, Jin Zhen, be flying high after this?

"Senior? Senior?"

"Senior? Senior?"

"Senior, I have a few sets of materials I collected recently. You can start refining them when you the time."

He was afraid, fearing the materials would be wasted, he quickly took out a large stack of materials, worried she would change her mind.

Xiao Ling'er calmly collected the materials without changing her expression: "There are a total of four sets of materials, Senior. You have an impressive spirit! However, I currently don't have any extra Harmony Pills, and I can only give them to you after I refine them."

"No problem at all!" Jin Zhen's smile almost reached his ears. "It's fine to give them to me after you refine them, or even if it takes a few years, it doesn't matter."

This was a great deal for him!

He had already obtained three Sixth-Rank Unification Elixirs in advance, which were even more valuable than four Fifth-Rank ones.

Naturally, he wasn't in a hurry.

...

Moments later, Jin Zhen left the Forge Pavilion.

He felt a bit lightheaded.

The Cloud Riding Technique, which he was already familiar with, seemed to be a bit out of control today, constantly lifting him into the sky.

His thoughts drifted along with his body.

At the same time, he was secretly astonished.

"Xiao Ling'er truly lives up to her reputation as the successor. Her talent for alchemy is simply astonishing."

"This matter..."

"Must not be spread, or it will surely bring about numerous troubles. At that time, not only Moonseizing Sect, but even Fire Virtue Sect might not be able to withstand the consequences!"

"Therefore, ahem."

"It's not that I don't consider my fellow sect members, but it's for her protection, for the future..."

"I, alone, must bear this heavy cause and effect, and the potential consequences that may arise."

"Fellow elders and sisters."

"I'm sorry~"

"In Moonseizing Sect, I've decided to stay!"

"Go back?"

"What's the point of going back?"

"Let's discuss the matter of returning another day."

...

The next day.

Qin Yu, accompanied by Lian Bo, came to bid farewell.

He was preparing to return to the Northern Region.

Out of politeness and a sense of guilt, he personally came to say goodbye.

Xiao Ling'er naturally wished him a safe journey, and then~~~

As a token of appreciation for Lian Bo's contribution to the Sect Protection Array, she also gave him three Sixth-Rank Harmony Pills. Lian Bo, not understanding the situation, took a look.

Hmm?!

Lian Bo was stunned.

"This?!

"It's too precious, Miss Ling'er. I can't accept it, I really can't."

He especially wanted to accept them.

But his rationality told him he couldn't!

"Ahem~"

"Lian Bo, don't be so quick to refuse. Actually, I have a request for you. As you know, I'm an alchemist, but..."

...

Half an hour later, Lian Bo, who had already left Moonseizing Sect, still had a solemn expression.

Seeing this, Qin Yu couldn't help but smile and say, "Lian Bo, why are you so serious?"

"Master Sister is a kind person, and she's also asking for your help. If you feel it's inappropriate, you can compensate her with some treasures or rare items later."

"Your Highness, that's not what I'm worried about."

"I'm thinking, after you return to the North, the Scarlet Cloak Guard will be based there. But when the news reaches us, there must be someone to handle the communication, right?"

Lian Bo's sudden words caught Qin Yu off guard, and he nodded slightly, "Indeed."

"This matter is top-secret, and only you, I, and Lin Zong know about it. Who should be responsible for this? We can't have Lin Zong or your master handle such trivial matters, can we?"

"That... of course not."

"So, I'm thinking, why don't I take on this role of liaison?"

Qin Yu: "Ah?!"

"Ahem."

Lian Bo's expression remained unchanged as he coughed and said, "Your Highness, after you return to the North, I'll arrange for other Great Powers to take care of things.

"Moreover, our Palace's Intelligence Organization has past experience in this regard, so the fewer people who know, the better.
