Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 52 Accelerating the Rise of Spiritual Elixir, Acquired Immaculate Body

Lin Chen took out a book titled "Detailed Explanation of Array Dao" and leaned against the corner to flip through it.

It may seem like I'm just flipping through the pages randomly, but the time I spend on each page is just right.

A secret manual of array formations, only a few dozen pages long, was transcribed in no time.

Lin Chen sometimes looked thoughtful, and sometimes his brows furrowed slightly.

Finally, he put the Daoist secret realm back in its original place and took out another book.

To outsiders, he was simply flipping through the pages casually, without revealing any flaws.

Indeed, Lin Chen's purpose in coming to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion was not only to find cultivation techniques for himself, but also to find suitable cultivation manuals for the country.

Cultivation techniques, spells and supernatural powers, pill formations, artifacts, talismans and secret methods... Lin Chen wants them all!

Previously, Lin Chen relied on hand-copying, bringing back only a few cultivation manuals at a time, which was too slow.

Therefore, after upgrading the equipment, Lin Chen decided to record more cultivation techniques at once to take back with him.

Even if Lin Chen didn't have time to study these classic texts.

However, the Great Xia Kingdom has many talented people, including a considerable number of highly intelligent scholars.

Once spiritual energy is introduced, this batch of cultivation techniques... will become the nation's most precious heritage and wealth.

Thus, Lin Chen stayed in the cultivation technique pavilion for several hours.

He flipped through over a hundred cultivation techniques at a rate of almost every few minutes, and recorded them.

Lin Chen stopped in the afternoon.

Two classic books were symbolically selected for loan.

"Within the Changchun Sect, privately recording cultivation techniques is inevitably suspected of theft, which is punishable..."

"Although the nano-camera doesn't exhibit any magical artifact fluctuations, we still need to proceed with caution."

Before the elders in the cultivation technique pavilion noticed him, Lin Chen registered and left.

……

After Lin Chen left, a figure emerged from the corner.

This person was none other than Li Zhenqian.

Li Zhenqian's face lit up with fanaticism as he muttered:

"Lin Chen, his knowledge is so extensive? Just now... what specific cultivation techniques did he look at?"

"He is my greatest enemy in winning the sect competition; I must understand my enemy!"

After saying that, Li Zhenqian kept rummaging through the cultivation manual shelf, looking for the secret manual that Lin Chen had just looked at.

From alchemy arrays and artifacts to spells and supernatural powers, Li Zhenqian watched until it grew dark.

He was getting dizzy and lightheaded from reading. As a disciple of the Array Peak, he could manage to read array manuals, but reading alchemy array manuals was a bit too difficult for him.

But he gritted his teeth and watched intently, with only one thought in his mind.

"I will work harder and be more outstanding than Lin Chen! I want to read all the classic texts he has read!"

Thus, a somewhat eccentric disciple from the Array Peak appeared in the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion...

……

Lin Chen was unaware of Li Zhenqian's actions. After returning to Danfeng, he continued his cultivation as usual.

The next morning, Lin Chen followed his master to the spirit field to accelerate the ripening of the spirit plants.

As for the second senior brother... he went out to travel a few days ago under the pretext of a sect mission.

Lin Chen stood in the middle of the spirit field, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully sensed the spirits of the plants and trees in the world.

Before long, through his mental perception, he saw many more lively plant spirits appear around him.

Lin Chen channeled his magic power, dividing his wood-elemental true essence into several portions, which he then fed to the spirits of the plants and trees.

After the spirits of plants had eaten and drunk their fill, they settled on the various medicinal herbs.

Soon, the growth cycle of the elixir was also greatly shortened.

After doing all this, Lin Chen took out the spirit stone to restore his magic power.

Han Jihai, standing to the side, watched this scene quietly, nodding repeatedly and saying:

"Chen'er, your mastery of the spirits of plants and trees is becoming increasingly proficient..."

"Once your cultivation level is higher, you'll probably be able to accelerate the growth of a three-year-old spiritual herb in less than a month."

Han Jihai looked at Lin Chen in front of him, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

He is highly qualified, has a good character, and most importantly, is willing to inherit the Danfeng family business.

Just then, Miko, who was hungover from the previous night, staggered over.

He was still carrying a gourd of wine in his hand, and said to Han Jihai:

"Old man, we're out of wine on the mountain... Could you lend me some spirit stones so I can go down the mountain to buy some?"

After saying this, Miko stretched out her little hand and pouted, waiting for Han Jihai to give her the money. (See the image of Ma Lou stretching out his hand for reference.)

Han Jihai nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with even more sorrow.

"Sigh, what sins did I commit in my past life to deserve such a freeloader as you!"

Although Han Jihai was cursing, he still took out a small bag of spirit stones and handed it over.

"Spend wisely! I'm a little short on cash lately..."

Before she finished speaking, Miko took the spirit stone.

Upon arriving at the open space, he channeled his magic power, and the palm-sized gourd transformed into a flying magical artifact over ten feet in size.

She leaped onto the gourd and headed down to the market town.

"well……"

Han Jihai sighed, then looked back at Lin Chen, his affection for him growing even stronger.

"Chen'er! You mustn't end up like your senior brothers and sisters..."

Lin Chen blinked after hearing this and nodded, saying:

"Master, don't worry... I will revitalize Danfeng!"

Lin Chen's tone was firm, which moved Han Jihai even more.

At this opportune moment, Lin Chen asked:

"Master, I went to the market town at the foot of the mountain a few days ago and found that each peak in the sect has its own property in the market town."

"Only our Danfeng has not even opened a single pill shop; the pill shops in the market are all monopolized by independent cultivators... Why is that?"

Han Jihai looked even more worried after hearing this.

"Alas, this is my fault. A few years ago, Danfeng had a shop in the market... but later I failed to form my core, and my savings of decades were exhausted. In addition, I am getting old, so I have lost the will to run the business."

"Look at your senior brothers and sisters, which one of them has the intention of opening a pill shop... Before long, all the pill shops in the market have been occupied by independent cultivators."

"Over the years, it has been no easy task for your master to refine elixirs to supply the sect's needs!"

Lin Chen nodded in understanding.

Although Han Jihai is not bad at alchemy, he is the only one in Danfeng who can refine pills, and the senior sister can only be considered half an alchemist at most.

With only one and a half people's strength, it is far from enough to supply the sect's shortage of pills. Changchun Sect will probably have to purchase some pills from the market at the foot of the mountain.

With this in mind, Lin Chen also expressed his thoughts.

"Master, after I learn a few more alchemy techniques... I want to open an alchemy shop in the market town down the mountain."

"Firstly, it can restore the status of my Danfeng Sect, and secondly, it can support my own cultivation..."

Han Jihai was deeply moved upon hearing this.

"Chen'er, it's rare to see such thoughts in you! However, the market is a treacherous place, and your cultivation is still shallow; I fear you might not be able to handle it..."

"Once you break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, I will lend you another hand!"

As he spoke, Han Jihai stroked his long beard and added:

"I still have some connections within the sect, so opening a shop... shouldn't be a problem!"

Lin Chen was slightly pleased to hear this. With his master's support, opening the pill shop would go much more smoothly.

Han Jihai was in a good mood, so he said to Lin Chen:

"Chen'er, you've almost mastered the refining of Qi and Blood Pills and Qi-Boosting Pills..."

"The Marrow Cleansing Flowers just matured a couple of days ago, so I'll refine a few bottles. You can stay here and learn from them."

……

A moment later, at the foot of Danfeng Mountain, in the Earth Fire Alchemy Chamber.

Han Jihai activated his true essence, and several spiritual herbs, including the Marrow Cleansing Flower, entered the alchemy furnace.

While refining pills, he explained the method of refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill to Lin Chen.

"The Marrow Cleansing Pill, though also a first-tier pill, is significantly more difficult to refine than the Qi and Blood Pill or the Qi-Boosting Pill..."

"This elixir has the effect of strengthening the body and enhancing physical strength... If taken multiple times, it can help one achieve the acquired, immaculate physique that ordinary martial artists dream of."

"Once you achieve the Innate Immaculate Body, your martial arts will advance by leaps and bounds, and you will gain thousands of pounds of strength."
