I Started by Worshipping the Wrong Peak. It Turns Out That I am Invincible Just by Refining Pills?

54: A heaven-defying return of ten thousand times, a holy elixir is born!”Earth-Grade Wood Element and Water Attribute natural treasures?”

Dan Qing looked at Lin Yan, inquiring about these items, a puzzled expression on his face. After all, these things had no connection to the Dao of Alchemy. However, he still smiled and said, ”Our Alchemist Association just happens to have these two items in stock. They were used as payment by many Cultivators who sought Medicinal Pills from us before.”

”Really?”

Upon hearing Dan Qing’s words, Lin Yan’s heart was instantly filled with pleasant surprise. He hadn’t expected the Alchemist Association to actually have them in stock.

However, once he thought about how the Alchemist Association was the most powerful force in the entire Northern Border, he immediately felt relieved.

Earth-Grade Five Elements natural treasures, while precious, were generally only useful for Golden Core Stage Cultivators. Once one reached the Nascent Soul level, their effect became negligible.

”Does Alchemist Lin need these two items? If so, I will immediately have someone fetch them for you.”

In response, Lin Yan nodded earnestly.

”To be honest, these two items are indeed of great use to this Junior.”

Lin Yan then added, ”The cost of these two treasures will be deducted from the proceeds of the Medicinal Pill auction later.”

However, Dan Qing shook his head and smiled at Lin Yan’s words.

”Alchemist Lin, please don’t be like that. They are merely two Earth-Grade natural treasures, not particularly precious.”

”Moreover, these two items are just gathering dust in our Alchemist Association. It’s better to give them to someone who needs them, like Alchemist Lin.”

However, Lin Yan smiled wryly at Dan Qing’s words.

”If Senior is unwilling to charge, then this Junior would rather search for them myself.”

He had already received one Earth-Grade Fire Element natural treasure for free. If he were to freeload two more Earth-Grade Five Elements natural treasures, how would Dan Qing view him?

As a petty person who loved to take advantage of others?

Opposite him, Dan Qing saw Lin Yan’s resolute expression, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He grew even fonder of Lin Yan and more appreciative. He immediately smiled and said,

”Alchemist Lin, how about this: I, this old man, have been stuck at the Nascent Soul Peak for a long time. When you are able to refine a fifth-grade Late Stage Medicinal Pill, how about you help this old man refine a Soul Essence Pill?”

In the Cultivation world, for a Cultivator to Breakthrough from Nascent Soul to Concentration Realm, they need to transform their Nascent Soul Power into Divine Soul Power. During this process, a Heavenly Tribulation will descend.

The purpose of the Soul Essence Pill is to help Cultivators during the transformation of Nascent Soul into Divine Soul, providing a protective and Breakthrough-assisting effect.

If there is no Soul Essence Pill for protection and Breakthrough assistance, even with outstanding talent, the Nascent Soul body will be destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation during the process of transforming Nascent Soul Power into Divine Soul Power.

If lucky, one’s Cultivation will fall to the Golden Core Stage. If unlucky, it will be Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, with both body and spirit annihilated.

This was also why Dan Qing had remained at the Nascent Soul Peak, unwilling to attempt a Breakthrough. After all, unless one’s lifespan was nearing its end, who would be willing to gamble on such an elusive opportunity?

This Heavenly Tribulation was not a joke.

”A fifth-grade Late Stage Soul Essence Pill?”

He had originally thought Dan Qing would make some incredibly high demand, but it was only a fifth-grade Late Stage Soul Essence Pill?

This was too simple for Lin Yan. As long as he had the Materials, he could refine it now. Although it might not reach Ten Pill Mark, five Pill Markings or more should be no problem.

After all, Lin Yan’s Alchemy level was only at fifth-grade Middle Stage currently.

In response, Lin Yan immediately smiled and said,

”No problem, Senior Dan Qing. Once this Junior’s Alchemy level reaches fifth-grade Late Stage, I will definitely refine a Soul Essence Pill for Senior at the first opportunity! Quality guaranteed to be Ten Pill Mark or above!”

Upon hearing Lin Yan’s words, even Dan Qing, a Nascent Soul Peak Cultivator, seemed as overjoyed as a child at this moment.

”In that case, I shall await good news from Alchemist Lin!”
