Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

After the investiture ceremony, Lin Sheng went to Taoyuan Camp to discuss his departure.

Ma Zhaoshan was not surprised by Lin Sheng's reaction. As an official of the imperial court, he had received news of the arrival of an envoy to Hequan Town earlier than Su Renneng.

After a friendly exchange of affirmation and praise for Lin Sheng's abilities, Ma Zhaoshan was happy to let Wu Rang lead Lin Sheng through the departure and handover procedures.

Zhao Fengnian and Wan Sha also learned the news later. Although they were reluctant to see Lin Sheng leave, they did not try to persuade him to stay. They did not beat around the bush. As cultivators, they naturally knew that Lin Sheng's future would not be limited to the campsite. On the contrary, the Peach Garden Campsite would restrict him. Therefore, they congratulated Lin Sheng on his promotion.

Afterwards, Lin Sheng invited everyone to a restaurant for a banquet to properly thank everyone who stayed there.

Two days later, Lin Sheng and Cao Xingyi received a notification from Tang Wenlong.

In the next few days, they will begin hunting Vajra on Liuli Mountain.

Lin Sheng was fully prepared and had plenty of pills on him. He anticipated that this battle would also produce a large amount of demon materials or corpses, so he used his guild's token to check the information.

Under the operation of the Xuan Qi, the token of this clan automatically affixed to the mirror. As the mirror shimmered, Lin Sheng saw his own code name under the token: Wind and Snow Tiger.

"Is it because I joined through Tiger Thirteen that my name includes the character 'Tiger'?"

Lin Sheng thought to himself, his divine sense connected with the token, and the mirror changed as he manipulated it with his thoughts.

"Blood Burning Pills are available in large quantities. Those interested may contact me privately."

"Selling a map of a demon-infested area. Only those with the strength can come and chat. Don't buy it and then come back to me for a refund if you can't defeat the monsters."

"Our official meat maker is taking orders. He is an expert in food and offers honest and reasonable prices."

"Fellow Daoist, don't believe it. That person who claims to be an expert in food is actually a fraud. He was kicked out of our clan because his cooking skills were too poor. I have already been fooled. I am warning other fellow Daoists."

"Good price for alchemy; if you can't refine it well, you don't have to pay, and the corresponding materials will be returned."

........

Lin Sheng flipped through the contents of the mirror, feeling as if he were browsing a forum.

"How come there are all sorts of trivial things?"

"Did this guild really recruit people because they saw their value?"

Although the people here spoke differently, Lin Sheng also saw some cultivators who claimed to be from certain major sects speaking, some doing business and others sharing their cultivation experiences.

This vividly illustrates what it means to be a mixed bag.

"Putting everything else aside, the fact that this platform allows so many people to chat proves that our group is capable."

"Ordinary magical artifacts probably couldn't support such a high frequency of communication; this faction must have some strength."

Looking at the chat platform of this organization, Lin Sheng guessed that they probably also had a business of setting up private chat rooms.

After all, you've already started public chats, so it wouldn't make sense if you didn't chat privately.

Although there was a lot of chat content, the majority of it was transaction-related. At this moment, Lin Sheng suddenly noticed a pseudonym called "Cheng Linlong".

The other party kept selling precious meat at very low prices, and Lin Sheng even felt that the other party was selling some of the precious meat at a loss, as if they were just doing it for fun.

Many cultivators also noticed Cheng Linlong. They were amazed by the price of the precious meat. Some wanted to know its origin, some asked about the specific price, and some expressed doubts. There were all sorts of comments, showing that it was a matter that needed to be carefully considered.

However, in reality, they all said one thing but did another, placing orders in large quantities, afraid that if they bought too late, the items would be gone.

Lin Sheng compared the two and found that the other party's purchase rate and repurchase rate were almost comparable to the official Baorou business of the Benbang Association.

"What's this person after?"

"Could it be that they're planning a price war, first monopolizing the meat business and then raising prices?"

"But you're doing this on the platform of your own guild, so it's unrealistic to expect a monopoly."

Seeing the various kinds of precious meats being sold by the other party, Lin Sheng had a few ideas, but in the end he dismissed them.

On the one hand, he doesn't lack these things for the time being; he has a whole bunch in his ring.

On the other hand, he didn't believe there was such a good thing in the world, and he suspected there was something fishy about selling such precious meat at such a low price.

Instead of checking on the Bao Rou transaction, Lin Sheng turned his attention back to his contacts, finding only Hu Shisan among them.

"That's true, after all, he came to recruit me."

After browsing through the list, Lin Sheng came across an interesting topic: "The Threat Behind the Fire Virtue Sect and the Bee King Sect".

What threat do the Huode Sect and the Bee King Sect, which were previously wiped out by the imperial court, still pose?

Lin Sheng clicked on the content to find out more.

"Although the Huode Sect and the Bee King Sect were dealt with by the imperial court, their sect's belongings were not completely taken away."

"The imperial court only took away the founding objects of their sects. The Fire Virtue Sect has a magic array that can burn the entire world, while the Bee Queen Sect has a mysterious object that can steal the essence and lifespan of any living being in the world."

Imagine what would happen if the imperial court used these things secretly. Every sect or martial arts school would be gradually devoured by the Hong Dynasty.

"This world does not belong to the Hong Dynasty. If they take such risks and act for their own selfish gain, seizing all the world's resources for themselves, how can cultivators outside the Hong Dynasty protect themselves?"

"......"

A whole bunch of reasoning and analysis followed, but Lin Sheng didn't read any of it.

It turns out it was just a cynical clickbait headline that even fooled him; he genuinely thought there was some problem between the Bee Queen Sect and the Fire Virtue Sect.

"This confederation is really bringing in all sorts of people."

Scrolling up, I found that the comments about the Bee Queen Clan and the Fire Virtue Clan had disappeared.

"Alright, alright, you've even learned how to use accusations, haven't you?"

After some exploration, Lin Sheng had a complete understanding of the effects of this token from the Benbang Association, and he was willing to give it a top-tier rating.

Because he felt there should be something even more popular above that.

Finally, he looked through the list of demons that the organization had mentioned hunting down. Sure enough, the acquisition was worth far more than usual. However, without exception, these demons were either rare or powerful, and were completely beyond Lin Sheng's current capabilities.

"If I really had these demons, wouldn't it be better to refine them into precious essences myself? That would be such a huge improvement."

"If it's not even suitable for alchemy, why would we sell it?"

After removing the token, Lin Sheng stopped browsing the content of the organization. With his experience of surfing in his previous life, he now had a firm grasp on this thing.

Just as he put away the token, he felt the feedback from the controlled use of scrap metal.

The other party has already crafted the fine needles that Lin Sheng needs.

He took out a pot from his ring, tapped it with his index finger, and the orange jelly lid looked at Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng raised an eyebrow; he could actually see pride and arrogance in the eyes of this magical artifact.

This gave him a bad feeling, after all, it was hard to say how well something would turn out if a magical artifact with its own aesthetic sense was used to refine it.

"Where's the needle? Let me see it?"

The scrap metal was drawn out in moderation, and its tentacles extended into Lin Sheng's palm. Lin Sheng felt a bundle of things fall into his palm.

The other party retracted its tentacles, awaiting Lin Sheng's reaction.

Lin Sheng opened his hand and saw, good heavens, a palm full of cone-shaped white jade balls, resembling water droplets.

Looking at the other person, Lin Sheng said, "I need a fine needle. Tell me how to use it?"

"And it's not discreet at all. How am I supposed to use it like this?"

Lin Sheng was quite annoyed looking at the teardrop-shaped objects in his hand. He figured that if he threw these things, the huge noise they made would be heard by the enemy before they even got close.

Moreover, after injecting it with the Corrosive or Destructive properties, it is estimated that it will actually have the effect of a hand grenade, and has nothing to do with throwing knives or hidden weapons.

"Can it be changed? It will speed up the process of fixing it again."

The scrap metal, with its body wriggling and swaying, clearly protested to Lin Sheng.

Then it made a gurgling sound, seemingly offering a completely different perspective on its product from Lin Sheng's.

Lin Sheng slapped his forehead, finally understanding how troublesome this thing was.

However, since he dared to make the choice, there must be a way to deal with him. Lin Sheng had already thought of this beforehand.

He stared at each word and said, "You're not going to change it, are you?"

The other party shook their body again to indicate their attitude.

"Okay, wait."

He held it in his hand, and the connection of his divine sense allowed him to clearly feel the link with his magical artifact.

At the same time, the originally quiet Dongxuan Furnace was activated, and the flames inside the Dongxuan Furnace began to spontaneously combust.

After entering the Pure Blood Realm, with the help of further integration with the Cave Profound Furnace, Lin Sheng found that his control over it had also reached a new level.

So he used his connection with the scrap metal to transmit the aura and images of the Cavern Furnace to the other party without reservation.

The reason I inquired about the intelligence level of this magical artifact from Duan Xiaoyi beforehand was for this purpose. He thought that the magical artifact he had obtained was stupid, so it couldn't even scare him.

Fortunately, it was aware of the limits of its scrap metal extraction. When the contents of the Cave Mystery Furnace were transmitted into its consciousness, it suddenly lifted the lid of the pot, was startled, and then slammed it shut, retreating back into the pot and no longer emerging.

However, the constant trembling and shaking of the teapot body betrayed its current state.

Lin Sheng smiled and tapped it: "Come out, or I'll show you something even more exciting."

The threat clearly had a good effect. The swaying of the scrap metal decreased, the lid rose slowly, and the two bright eyes no longer floated around in the body as before, but stared intently at Lin Sheng, afraid that he might make another move.

Lin Sheng pointed at it and said, "Listen, I don't care what your aesthetic sense is, but what I need must be done according to my requirements. You are not allowed to make any more arbitrary changes."

"If you want to do something on your own, I'll find something else for you to do, but you can't tamper with anything I need, understand?"

These words challenged its long-held beliefs, and it began to twitch and writhe, struggling.

Seeing that it was still hesitating, Lin Sheng added fuel to the fire and transmitted more images of the Cave Mystery Furnace to it.

In an instant, the scrap metal was withdrawn and retracted back into the pot. Then, the lid of the pot opened a small gap and took back the failed product from Lin Sheng's hand.

Lin Sheng knew that the matter was settled. He had successfully subdued this strange magical artifact and now had a personal blacksmith who could forge it according to his own ideas.

Lin Sheng put the ring back, believing that after this, the other party would show the proper attitude to get what he wanted.

After the matter was settled, Lin Sheng pondered and recalled the Jade Cang Transformation Dao Scripture that his master had previously given him.

These details were etched into his mind perfectly, and he could not forget them at all.

Lin Sheng has now obtained the two parts of this cultivation technique concerning the Pure Blood Realm and the Jade Life Realm, and he has been studying them whenever he has free time these past few days.

It is indeed a technique that can help one break through to the Mountain and Sea Realm. The wonder and comprehensiveness of this technique not only allowed Lin Sheng to see what his future self would look like, but also gave him a more comprehensive understanding of the technique.

The Jade Cang Transformation Dao Canon is a complete set of cultivation methods. Its contents not only involve the cultivation of Xuan Qi, but also the body, footwork, and spiritual consciousness, making it a fairly systematic set of cultivation methods.

In fact, only techniques like these can be called "gongfa" (kung fu). Techniques like the Dragon Tiger Inner Breathing Exercise are only "gongfa" in a broad sense. If we really want to talk about it, we should say it's a skill.

The Dragon-Tiger Inner Breath Technique is actually part of the true cultivation method within the Daoist sect. It can be separated out for body refinement, and thus it also carries the name of a cultivation method.

Looking at the Jade Cang Hua Dao Scripture, Lin Sheng was even more surprised by the comprehensive improvement this technique could bring him.

Although the various parts of this exercise cannot be disassembled like the Dragon-Tiger Inner Breathing Exercise, it does not diminish the value of this exercise.

Lin Sheng remembered that the Jade Cang Transformation Dao Canon was a fragment that his master had obtained during his time at the Martial Virtue Division. It was later completed through meritorious service, which is why it became a complete cultivation method.

Lin Sheng didn't know how he completed it, but this completion made it possible to cultivate other techniques as well.

"Directly cultivating other techniques and achieving mastery of two techniques is difficult, since different techniques have different requirements for one's Qi and physical body."

"However, this does not mean that we cannot learn from the strengths of other cultivation methods, thereby making up for our own weaknesses and continuously improving the efficiency of cultivating the Jade Cang Transformation Dao Scripture."

"If I encounter a suitable cultivation method, I might be able to further refine it and fill in the later stages."

"If this can really be achieved, not only will I benefit, but Liuyun Pavilion will also reach a new level and become a major sect in the future, which is just around the corner."

The future is so bright, but Lin Sheng plans to take it one step at a time.

He carefully examined the contents of the cultivation technique, and his profound energy began to circulate.

As the cultivation technique circulated, Lin Sheng's aura began to change, and the effects of the Pure Blood Realm were now becoming apparent.

Lin Sheng felt that his body, both inside and out, was operating in a rhythmic and orderly manner, and the same was true for his Xuan Qi.

This process will cause changes and accumulations in every part of itself, ultimately leading to a qualitative change.

Lin Sheng is currently at the early stage of the Pure Blood Realm, and he estimates that each qualitative change will be a breakthrough.

With the help of the Cavern Furnace, he believed that such a breakthrough would not be far off.
