I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2352 Alchemy
Chen Lin successfully traded for the ungraded stone.

The cost was that almost all of the variegated crystals were used up.

However, he can accept it.

After all, it is a defensive treasure of the Dominator level, and it has a certain growth potential. Since obtaining the refining method, I have already paid a lot to collect materials, so it doesn't matter if the last material is a little more expensive.

It's better than never meeting someone.

In this way.

All the refining materials have been gathered. Once this treasure is successfully refined, its defensive capabilities will be further enhanced.

After putting away the ungraded stone, Chen Lin continued to monitor the transaction.

However, the items required by everyone who went on stage were extremely rare, most of which were unheard of, making him realize the gap between himself and the Star Ruins experts.

"Anyone willing to help my sister, besides acknowledging me as their Lord, I can also offer them a portion of my own essence!"

Puda returned to the stage with an increased fee.

But still no one answered.

That mysterious whispering sound is something that all the powerful rulers avoid like the plague; no one wants to have any karmic connection with it.

The main hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Bai Lingyu didn't remind Chen Lin anymore. Time slowly passed, and Puda's face turned ashen.

After weighing his options carefully, Chen Lin remained silent.

Most importantly, he didn't want to be too high-profile. So many powerful rulers didn't dare to try, and his emergence as a 'minor cultivator' who hadn't even reached the ruler level would definitely attract everyone's attention.

If successful.

That would be even more troublesome.

He can dispel the curse caused by the whispering voice, so all the major powers are frantically trying to find out about him. No matter how well he hides, he will eventually be found.

It's really not worth the loss to gain a subordinate who is almost a ruler.

"Time is up."

Bai Lingyu's calm voice rang out, and Puda's tall figure disappeared.

The transaction continues.

During this time, Chen Lin made another move, using the treasure he had previously prepared to trade for the Nine-Touched Divine Conch to exchange for a talisman for escape, which was also of a high level.

Moreover, it's for rune cultivators.

It was a pleasant surprise.

With the last participant taking the stage, the trade conference came to an end.

There were no closing remarks, and Bai Lingyu didn't even utter a sound. Chen Lin simply felt a lightness in his body and returned to his room on the third floor of the shop.

"call."

As soon as he returned, the little white snake flew off Chen Lin's arm and gently exhaled.

Then he couldn't help but complain, "The pressure is immense. That woman's strength is unfathomable, and she keeps probing me, making me afraid to even show my face."

"She investigated you?"

Chen Lin looked surprised.

The little white snake hatched from a blind egg, making it a completely new species. Logically, it shouldn't attract the attention of a mid-level overlord.

"Ah."

The little white snake hummed in agreement.

"If you go in again next time, I won't go with you. Let Hongchen go."

Chen Lin frowned.

He immediately stopped thinking about it.

Perhaps the white jade was merely intrigued; if the little white snake possessed something that the other party coveted, it would have brought it up directly.

Mid-level Overlords are already at the top; they don't need to hide anything they do.

He brought the little white snake in just to test whether living creatures could be brought into the Azure Peak Heavenly Palace. Now that the experiment has yielded results, there's no need to bring it in again next time.

Put aside distracting thoughts.

Chen Lin took out his harvest.

After checking each item and finding no errors, he began to study the Azure Profound Token.

The main focus is on studying the treasure vault exchange list.

Although most only show the name, some come with a brief introduction from which you can glean some information.

Several months later.

Chen Lin's figure appeared in the void.

First, a large spirit boat was released, and the spirit boat flew up and landed on it. Then, the Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Furnace was taken out.

Then he took out one medicinal herb after another.

He was going to open the furnace and refine the Myriad Tribulations Inquiry Pill.

The necessary ingredients for this pill had long been prepared, but he had been too busy to refine it until now. However, after seeing the value of this pill at the trade fair, Chen Lin immediately took action.

He's too poor right now.

Only one piece of variegated crystal remained, and the variegated crystal marrow was not even enough for one bottle.

Apart from those that are absolutely untradeable, other treasures are generally not very valuable and are unlikely to catch the eye of high-level cultivators. They can't even be exchanged for a few pieces of iridescent crystals.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for something that can generate profits.

This pill was one of the selected ones.

Chen Lin continuously changed hand seals, performing the first step of processing the spiritual medicine.

For someone with his alchemy skills, refining this pill would be quite difficult, but with his innate talent, it becomes very simple, with no possibility of failure.

but.

Every advantage has its disadvantages.

This elixir doesn't require high-quality materials or advanced refining skills, but it's not enough to just refine it; it also requires "tribulation." The elixir's effectiveness is closely related to the number of tribulations one undergoes.

The one from the previous trade fair has reached 3,600 kalpas.

He knew he couldn't do it.

I don't have the time.

He only needs to refine a batch that has undergone at least one hundred tribulations.

While pondering.

After Chen Lin finished processing each of the spiritual herbs, he flicked his wrist, and four flames fell into the alchemy furnace.

After advancing to the next level, the True Fire of the Sun can easily create four different types of flames by altering the rune sequence.

Next, we will explore the realm of talent.

After correcting his fate, he put the spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace one by one and began to concentrate on refining them.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

A pill took shape in the alchemy furnace. At the same time...

A surge of energy rose in the void, transforming into an enormous bolt of lightning that crashed down upon the newly formed pill!

"That's really fast."

Chen Lin muttered something to himself.

With a gentle wave of his hand, dozens of runes flew out, forming a simple arrangement that trapped the lightning within. Only after the lightning had been weakened by about half did he disperse the runes.

The lightning struck the pill.

The pill immediately began to churn violently, with cracks constantly appearing on its surface, but it was rapidly repaired under the influence of some kind of power.

After a dozen or so breaths,

The lightning was completely consumed, while the pill emitted a faint glow, its aura much stronger than when it was first condensed.

Chen Lin waved his hand.

The pill flew into his palm, but before he could examine it closely, the energy vortex in the void reappeared, revealing a ball of fire.

The goal remains the elixir.

Moreover, no matter how you move, you cannot break free from the lock.

Chen Lin clicked his tongue twice.

He didn't move again, letting the firelight engulf the pills, while he watched intently.

When the Myriad Tribulations Inquiry Pill was first refined, it could only be considered a pill of the True Realm level, and it had to undergo a tribulation to be considered a complete pill.

However, this pill initially provides rapid improvement.

If one survives more than ten tribulations, one can enter the eternal realm.

The Hundred Tribulations technique is effective for cultivators who have merged with the self, but to go further and make it effective for Dominator level cultivators, one needs to overcome a Thousand Tribulations.

To reach the point of a thousand tribulations.

Not only are the materials for alchemy extremely demanding, but a powerful expert is also needed to protect the practitioner. Even so, a certain amount of luck is required, and the chance of success is very low.

Actually.

This elixir is primarily for those below the Dominator level.

However, Chen Lin has a talent for destiny, so he is least worried about luck, which is why he wants to use this pill to amass wealth.

Next.

The energy in this void fluctuated continuously, with all sorts of heavenly tribulations changing back and forth, fiercely attacking the pill, as if they had a deep grudge against it and would not give up until it was destroyed.

Chen Lin stood with his hands behind his back.

While observing the changes in the elixir, they also took precautions against any unexpected events.

There are many strange creatures in the Star Ruins, but because it is so vast, the chances of encountering them are relatively small. However, such long-term energy changes may still attract them.

It's unlikely that the cultivators were attracted there.

No one dares to join the fun in the Star Ruins. Even powerful rulers will usually choose to take a detour if they encounter abnormal energy fluctuations.

Several hours passed.

This elixir has just survived one hundred tribulations.

Chen Lin stopped experimenting and put the pill into the sealing bottle, severing its connection with the rules of the void.

Then the heavenly tribulation would no longer occur.

He put away the spirit boat, took out the Azure Shuttle, and disappeared in a streak of azure light.

Shake.

Three years have passed.

Chen Lin finished his alchemy journey and returned to Deer Island.

Although exhausted, the harvest was also very gratifying, with a total of about one hundred pills formed, including fifty that had undergone one hundred tribulations, more than twenty that had undergone five hundred tribulations, and more than twenty that had undergone eight hundred tribulations.

To Chen Lin's greatest surprise and delight, he also managed to refine three Thousand Tribulation Pills!

He hadn't had any hope before.

However, after actual operation, it was found that the talent ability has a strong effect on changing the 'fate' of the pill, making the calamities brought by the pill more suitable for his assistance.

So I gave it a try.

I never expected that I would actually survive a thousand kalpas.

However, after reaching this point, it seems that a bottleneck has been encountered, and all attempts have failed three times in a row.

Chen Lin then realized that this was the limit. To continue, he either needed to find higher quality alchemy materials or improve his own talent.

Forcing it won't work.

Moreover, we've run out of materials, so we need to slow down.

Back in the shop.

Chen Lin called Xinya over, took out some pills and handed them to her, asking her to sell them in the shop.

The main traded crystal is variegated crystal.

As for the crystallite.

He couldn't get ordinary pills, and selling the thousand-fold pills here would be too conspicuous. He planned to sell them elsewhere in the future and collect some materials along the way.

But there's no rush now.

The forging of the Myriad Phases Shield cannot be delayed any longer. The sooner this treasure is completed, the safer it will be. Traveling through the void for a long time will inevitably lead to danger sooner or later.

We must not be careless.

"Greetings, Steward Liu."

Upon arriving at the island's management office, Chen Lin clasped his hands in a fist salute to a man with a goatee.

"Oh, it's Manager Lin. What's up? Have you raised enough money?"

The man with the goatee spoke with a smile.

Without wasting any words, Chen Lin touched his storage ingot and took out ten pieces of colorful crystal.

"We've collected enough. Please, Steward Liu, help us choose a quiet room."

Chen Lin handed the colorful crystal to the other party.

He came here to rent the island's weapon-refining room. Refining the Myriad Forms Shield is different from alchemy. The Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Furnace is a bit weak, so buying it is not realistic. He can only choose to rent it.

The rental price isn't high; the top-tier rental only costs one piece of bromeliad per year.

But a deposit of ten yuan is required.

There was no other way but to wait until the Myriad Tribulations Inquiry Pill was sold and ten pieces of Variegated Crystal were collected before coming back again.

This incident made Chen Lin deeply aware of the embarrassment of being broke. Despite his talent, he had hardly experienced this feeling since he reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Hold on."

Manager Liu put away the variegated crystal.

He turned and left the room.
