I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Seeing that the other party did not seem to be faking it, Chen Lin couldn't help but take a few more glances.

I thought about it.

He tentatively asked, "Can this pill help me obtain the Exquisite Treasure Chest?"

"possible."

Zhu Jing hesitated for a moment before replying.

Chen Lin didn't ask any more questions, but instead looked around.

Everyone quieted down. The newcomers found their places, those who knew each other communicated telepathically, and those who didn't stare at the crack.

Upon seeing this.

He explained to Ruan Qingxi and then opened Zhu Jing's package.

"Can't these things be stored in a storage ring?"

Upon discovering that all the materials were scattered around, Chen Lin inquired via telepathy.

"The three main materials are: auxiliary materials can be put away, but they will affect other items. Anyway, they don't take up much space, so I put them all in the package."

I glanced at it.

Chen Lin then transmitted his voice again: "There is only one set of materials. If the refining fails, I will not be responsible for compensation. You should think it over carefully, or you will blame me later."

"No, Fellow Daoist Chen, just do your best. If you fail, it's just my bad luck."

Zhu Jing immediately expressed her opinion.

"As long as you can think positively about it."

Seeing that the other party had made all the preparations, Chen Lin stopped arguing.

After checking all the materials according to the pill formula, he finally picked up a palm-sized, snow-white pill furnace.

There was a line of small print above.

"White Bear's hand warmer".

It turned out to be Taixu script as well, which made him frown.

Are you sure this alchemy furnace is usable?

Chen Lin immediately confirmed it.

Inscribed with the Taixu script, it's probably of average quality.

Refining pills of this caliber requires extremely high standards for the alchemy furnace; even if the furnace doesn't explode, the success rate will be severely affected.

"I don't know if there's a problem. According to the clan's records, this alchemy furnace was obtained along with the alchemy formula, so there shouldn't be any issues."

Chen Lin's eyes flashed.

The other party's explanation made him doubtful. Perhaps the Taixu script was not just the script of the Lower Yuan Domain, but had other mysteries.

So I stopped thinking about it.

He activated the incantation, attempting to stimulate the alchemy furnace.

After several attempts, it became clear that this thing was indeed extraordinary; other energies were useless, and it actually required forbidden power!
Chen Lin's eyes lit up.

This was the only treasure he had encountered besides the Xuanjin Spear that could be activated with forbidden power, and it did not require any special incantations; he could simply inject his soul essence, which contained forbidden power, into it.

But the changes are also simple.

Aside from zooming in and out, it can't do anything else; it can't even be manipulated at will.

That is so.

Chen Lin was also moved and had a desire to possess it.

However, forcibly taking it was not his style, nor did it align with his Daoist principles. After thinking for a moment, he placed the alchemy furnace on the ground and looked at Zhu Jing opposite him.

"How about we make another deal?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please speak."

Zhu Jing spoke calmly.

Chen Lin glanced at the alchemy furnace and pondered, "Well, I have a method that can increase the chances of successfully refining pills, but it consumes a lot of resources."

"I can use it. If the pill is successful as a result, this pill furnace will belong to me."

"in addition."

Before the other party could speak, Chen Lin continued to raise the stakes.

"Besides refining pills, I can also help you compete for treasure chests. If you don't get a treasure chest, you can't get grass weaving, and if you want to leave here, you must collect ten grass weavings."

"Don't think this is easy."

"As you can see, there are several Sovereign-level experts here, and nearly half of them are Quasi-Sovereigns. Some of them have been trapped for hundreds of years and still haven't been able to gather ten straw bundles."

"Moreover, each energy tide requires the consumption of a straw shield; without a straw shield, one can only wait to die."

"How about it."

"What do you think?" Zhu Jing didn't respond for a long time.

Chen Lin wasn't in a hurry; if the other party agreed, great, if not, so be it.

After all, it's just a pill furnace. Although it can use forbidden power, it can only refine high-level pills at most. However, the recipes and materials for such pills are extremely rare, and he simply doesn't have time to collect them.

The primary task at present is still the trial to ascend to heaven.

Alchemy would take up his time.

"If Fellow Daoist Chen can help me obtain a delicate treasure chest, I can give you this alchemy furnace. If you can't meet this requirement, then none of the other conditions apply."

After much hesitation, Zhu Jing stated his conditions.

"I see."

Chen Lin glanced at the alchemy furnace again.

He nodded and said, "Then let's give it a try, but I need to help someone first before it's your turn."

"Moreover, in the end, you have to rely on yourself to collect the treasure chests, especially the exquisite treasure chest, which will automatically recognize its owner. Whoever gets it first gets it. All I can do for you is to prevent others from competing for it."

"You also need to have good fortune and be recognized by the exquisite treasure chest, otherwise even if you catch it, it will be an illusion."

"I see."

Zhu Jing said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin stopped wasting words, reviewed the prescription again, and began processing the materials.

The process is very slow.

The main reason is that all three main materials require processing with forbidden energy, and his forbidden energy is limited, so he will need to stop and recover soon.

There are no means to accelerate growth; relying entirely on natural growth, the speed simply cannot be increased.

Chen Lin wasn't even sure if the strength of his forbidden power was enough to sustain the alchemy process; if he ran out of steam, all the materials would be wasted.

It took a full month to process just one main ingredient.

During this period.

Almost every day, treasure chests would fly out from the bottom of the crack. Zhu Jing managed to snatch one, but it only contained a straw basket.

That's already considered pretty lucky.

The probability of getting treasures from ordinary treasure chests is not high, and there is also a chance of getting penalty items. With a straw weaving, you can at least safely get through one energy tide.

Chen Lin also witnessed the other party's methods.

It is a special ability.

The opponent has six acupoints on their body that can emit bright light. When all of them are lit up, they can connect to form a six-pointed star shape.

Then a strange aura emanated from it.

After receiving this aura, the opponent's strength instantly surged, becoming comparable to a quasi-ruler.

Chen Lin had his doubts.

This is not even the limit of the opponent's ability.

Hexagram-like techniques are often related to summoning or sealing. Behind that mysterious aura, there may be a terrifying existence!

But he didn't pay much attention to it.

No matter how terrifying it is, it's impossible to break through the rules of this place; otherwise, the other party wouldn't have had to try four times before finally getting a treasure chest.

The remaining three attempts all resulted in missing the target.

There's no need for the other side to put on an act. Pretending to be low-key here is tantamount to courting death and will cause them to miss out on many benefits. Everyone is doing their best.

Even the rulers are the same.

In the blink of an eye.

Six months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Lin finished refining the three main ingredients.

During this time, Ruan Qingxi inquired about the situation, and Beitang Zhu also asked in a telepathic message, since refining pills in this place was indeed quite unconventional.

Furthermore, the rules and power here are quite different, making it impossible to refine ordinary pills.

It's not surprising that they've attracted attention.

Not only these two, but all the cultivators in the entire space cast puzzled glances at them.

But apart from Beitangzhu and Ruan Qingxi, no one else asked any questions, and Chunjiu only glanced at it a few times.

Although his behavior was strange, everyone else was doing their own thing, and there were quite a few odd behaviors as well. After all, they had been trapped here for too long and their lives were uncertain, so it was understandable that their mindset would change.

Chen Lin was very satisfied with this.

It was best if no one disturbed them. After a brief explanation to Beitang Zhu, they focused entirely on their tasks.

The auxiliary materials were processed quickly, and everything was ready in less than a month. After another month of rest, once his physical condition reached its peak, he began refining pills. (End of Chapter)
