Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 66 Rare Elixirs
As Liu Yonghuai left, a soft, charming voice rang in Lin Le's ear: "Someone you know?"

“He was an old friend of my father’s,” Lin Le said. “He was a good person.”

Qingli nodded slightly: "No wonder you didn't kill him."

Unlike Liu Yonghuai, who was unaware of the danger, Qingli sensed Lin Le's hidden murderous intent. If Liu Yonghuai made the slightest mistake, he would likely face a thunderous attack from Lin Le.

"It's time to exchange yang energy." Qingli, who had transformed into a half-human, half-demon, hugged Lin Le tightly.

"Wait a little longer," Lin Le said.

"Waiting for what?" Qingli asked curiously, her fingers sliding across Lin Le's chest.

Lin Le said softly, "Waiting for someone."

Qingli asked doubtfully, "Do you think your Uncle Liu would call people? Didn't you say he was a good person?"

“He’s a good person, but the people behind him aren’t necessarily good people,” Lin Le said. “That fox is dead, and Wei Zhenshan and Xiang Lingfeng will definitely investigate who killed it.”

"Uncle Liu is a sixth-level cultivator with strength. Because of his relationship with my father, he has a motive and is definitely listed as one of the key suspects. There may be someone monitoring him."

“If someone is watching him while he stays here, then that person will definitely come here.”

Qingli nodded in realization, sticking out her tongue like a snake's tongue: "Hmm, it really is, someone's coming."

Just as she finished speaking, someone climbed over the wall and came in. Then he saw two pairs of indifferent eyes looking at him.

Seeing the human and demon combination, the man sensed something was wrong and immediately cursed, "What a lousy place! It's been licked clean!"

He turned and ran away as he spoke.

Lin Le and Qing Li did not stop him and let him run away.

The man ran quite a distance, but seeing that Lin Le and Qing Li hadn't chased after him, he didn't relax; instead, his unease intensified.

He didn't believe Lin Le and Qing Li would be kind enough to let him go, which meant he had already been hit by a deadly attack and that they would ensure he wouldn't leak the secret.

Nervous, he immediately patted his body and then touched a warm metal ring around his neck.

The moment he touched it, the metal ring tightened instantly.

With a soft thud, a man's head hit the ground.

The moonlight shone down, and a golden circle rolled on its own. It came to a wall, bounced, and landed in a hand with distinct knuckles.

"Is it done?" Qingli asked.

After reattaching the Qiankun Ring, Lin Le nodded and said, "All done."

"Then let's give it yang energy." Qingli moved closer to Lin Le.

"Here you go." Lin Le said helplessly, extending his finger and touching Qing Li's chest.

As the yang energy flowed in, Qingli's tail, hidden underwater, swayed comfortably.

Looking at Qingli's rosy complexion, Lin Le couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Is she really that alluring?"

After transferring all the yang energy, Qingli, as usual, gave Lin Le the yin energy she had refined.

"Go to sleep." Qingli waved her hand and a dilapidated rocking chair flew over, and then new branches sprouted from the broken parts at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qingli then lay down on the chair with Lin Le in her arms.

Lin Le was speechless: "I didn't say I wanted to sleep, did I?"

"I want to sleep!" Qingli said in an unquestionable tone as she helped Lin Le adjust his position.

"Nonsense." Lin Le rolled his eyes. Anyway, he didn't care about posture when he was meditating.

Like a mother holding her child, Qingli held Lin Le as they fell asleep.

After completing his meditation practice for the day, Lin Le also fell into a deep sleep.

When Lin Le woke up the next day, he got up from the rocking chair, stretched, and then touched his crotch.

Good, it's not wet.

It seems that after yesterday's overflowing energy, it has temporarily plummeted to its lowest point.

Lin Le looked at the rocking chair again, and when she found that Qing Li was not there, she didn't think much of it and transformed into a cat to go to work.

At the bottom of the well, Qingli was refining the newly acquired yang energy. At Danxia Pavilion, Lin Le had transformed back to his appearance from yesterday.

"Brother Zhou, you've arrived!" Zhou Ziyang greeted him warmly.

"Okay." Lin Le nodded. "Send fifty portions of medicinal herbs to my place."

“Okay,” Zhou Ziyang replied. “But you should also take care of your health, brother. If the quality of these pills drops, we won’t be able to sell them at a high price.”

"Understood." Lin Le nodded.

He knew that Zhou Ziyang was unhappy that he had been given high-quality pills yesterday, so he subtly reminded him of this.

However, Lin Le added, "I didn't know that you could get an advance on your wages here. I'm getting old, so I need to buy some supplements to take care of my health."

Want premium quality? Sure, cash on delivery.

Zhou Ziyang also understood Lin Le's implication. He frowned slightly, then nodded: "Alright, but I can only advance the amount you've already refined. You know you're just a registered user, and I don't know when you'll leave."

"Of course," Lin Le nodded.

In the alchemy room, Lin Le put a batch of medicinal herbs into the furnace, added water, and started a fire. His expression was very serious, unlike his calm demeanor yesterday.

After an incense stick had burned, Lin Le tapped the stove, and five Essence Pills flew into his hand.

Three of them have faint cloud-like patterns.

This is the Danwen, a symbol of precious elixirs, signifying the complete absence of any toxicity and representing the most perfect elixir.

This has resulted in its price generally being three to four times that of high-quality pills, making it available but unavailable for purchase.

Lin Le put the pill into the bottle and released the Hun Tian Ling to refine the pill.

These three precious pills are enough to shut Zhou Ziyang up.

Lin Le focused his mind on the inner landscape of his supernatural powers, shaking off the precious liquid of qi and blood from the lotus leaf.

With the Dao guiding his movements, Lin Le rapidly refined the essence that was being generated.

The progress of the fourth level of the Lingtai Tower is increasing at a visible rate.

Once all the refining was completed, the progress of the fourth level of the tower had exceeded 30%.

Looking at the medicinal liquid refined by the Hun Tian Ling, Lin Le couldn't help but sigh, "It's really good to have a powerful backer."

Previously, to achieve this level of progress, one would have had to slaughter a wealthy man in a small town and seize all his assets.

Stepping out of the alchemy room, Lin Le handed the pill bottle to Zhou Ziyang: "Calculate it, and then convert all the money into spirit stones for me."

“Okay.” Zhou Ziyang nodded and began to count the pills.

But the more he checked, the more he frowned, because all the pills today were still of good quality.

Pushing the envelope?

Zhou Ziyang glanced at Lin Le, suppressing his anger. He could tell that Lin Le was somewhat arrogant and wouldn't do something so despicable.

With doubts in his mind, Zhou Ziyang continued to examine the pills until a unique fragrance emanated from one of the pill bottles, at which point he was relieved.

Rare elixirs!

No wonder he didn't care; he actually managed to refine a rare elixir.

Zhou Ziyang carefully poured out one, and looking at the cloud pattern on it, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

An important supplementary indicator in the performance evaluation of Danxia Pavilion managers is the number of rare elixirs submitted each year; the more rare elixirs, the higher the bonus points.

The higher the score, the easier it is to get promoted. Even if you don't get promoted, your score will be converted into resources to reward the supervisor who provides rare pills.

After examining the pills, Zhou Ziyang put them away, and there was no longer a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Lin Le.

What a joke! This is his lucky charm!
"Please wait a moment, Master Zhou, I'll go get the money for you right away." Zhou Ziyang didn't even call him "brother" anymore, but used a respectful term instead.

"Go ahead," Lin Le waved his hand.

Zhou Ziyang immediately left in a hurry.
