Taoist companion helps me cultivate immortality

Lin Ye whispered, "Then can you take me through the employee channel to take the assessment in advance?"

"Ah! Sure."

"Well, pay first."

If this guy insists on watching it, that's fine.

Lin Ye didn't lose anything anyway.

Moreover, he knew that Gongshu Yan would not care, because the finished product of a weapon refiner could not be judged by just one glance.

Coming to a small corner, Lin Ye reluctantly took off his pants and lifted up his Taoist robe.

“This seems a bit…”

"My friend, don't be shy, let me see~"

"Wow! How magnificent..."

at this time.

"Master President, I saw the weapon refiner who forged the mysterious low-level spiritual weapon appear in the lobby on the first floor. He came to us on his own."

The assistant rushed back to the office and reported hastily.

"Lin Ye is here?"

Gongshu Yan stepped forward and said, "He is here to see me. Take me to see him."

"This is my assistant, don't interrupt me."

The branch president said to his assistant with a dark face, "Lead the way."

"You two want to meet him in person...? Yes!"

Then, the assistant took the two people from the fifth-floor office to the first-floor lobby.

After asking the lobby staff, the three found Lin Ye in the corner of the first floor.

At this time, Pang Lu was kneeling in front of him, doing something carefully.

From their angle they could only see the back of her head.

Damn...

What are you doing again?

Eating hot dogs secretly in broad daylight!

Lin Ye looked at the three of them.

"Misunderstanding! Just a misunderstanding!"

"It's immoral and unethical!"

The branch president was heartbroken.

Good guy.

Today's young people...

I actually expected him to take care of others.

It's too wild!

Chapter 19: It's a pity that it's just a low-grade spiritual root

"Low-grade spiritual roots?"

Upon hearing about Lin Ye's qualifications, the branch president's face changed immediately.

Lin Ye was a little nervous.

He knew that what he said next would be very important.

Just now, after the misunderstanding, the branch president angrily said that he wanted to test his equipment refining level.

Gongshu Yan also followed curiously.

Under the watchful eyes of two third-grade weapon refiners, Lin Ye disguised himself with all his might and completed the refining of a first-grade high-level spiritual weapon, and also completed a semi-finished second-grade low-level spiritual weapon.

The qualifications he displayed astounded the branch president.

He is only at the fifth stage of Qi Refining, but he can achieve this!

His skills have far surpassed his current level.

Until the branch president knew Lin Ye's spiritual roots:

Fire, Metal, Wood, Three Elements, Lower Grade...

too poor.

It is almost impossible for low-grade spiritual roots to break through to the Golden Core Stage unless they are of a rare single attribute.

No matter how talented Lin Ye is at refining artifacts, he can at most reach Gongshu Yan's current level—a late stage foundation building expert who can barely refine a third-grade spiritual weapon.

However, Gongshu Yan is now not far from the Jindan stage.

On the other hand, Lin Yelin, with three types of low-grade spiritual roots, might need two hundred years to reach the late stage of foundation building!

The branch president's brain, which was originally heated, felt like someone had opened his head and poured a basin of ice water on it.

When he looked at Lin Ye, there was inevitably a hint of contempt in his eyes.

People are different.

In the world of cultivation, talent is an unbridgeable barrier.

I was wrong, there is no need to take it so seriously.

As if he didn't feel the other party's cold attitude, Lin Ye said sincerely: "Master President, I know that I am not talented enough! So I would like to ask you here, can the guild sponsor me a [Heavenly Secret Inscription]?"

"As long as my spiritual root level can be concealed, I can join other organizations and strive for their training resources to give back to the guild. One day I will be able to completely repay the guild's kindness."

By absorbing the blood of exotic beasts, Lin Ye’s spiritual roots can be upgraded, but this cannot be discovered by anyone.

Improving the level of spiritual roots is extremely difficult.

Very high-level natural treasures, or spiritual root transplants...these are things that lower-level cultivators cannot access.

If discovered, it will definitely be difficult to explain.

Therefore, even if Lin Ye’s spiritual roots are upgraded in the future, no one can know about it.

As for the [Heavenly Secret Inscription] that conceals the level of spiritual roots, Lin Ye understands that it can only be produced by the Nascent Soul Stage.

As long as he gets this thing, he won't have to worry about the secret of his spiritual root level and will be much more flexible.

The only problem is...

The labor cost of the Yuanying Patriarch is too expensive!

The branch president was so angry that he laughed:

"You want to use the Heavenly Secret Inscription to conceal your spiritual root level? Do you think you can ask the Yuanying Ancestor for help?"

"Do you know the price of the Heavenly Secret Inscription? It will cost at least fifty high-grade spirit stones!"

The branch president was almost furious.

The assistant behind him hurriedly stopped him: "President, forget it, he doesn't know..."

The branch president took a breath and said:

"You are in the Qi Refining Stage, don't let your imagination run wild!"

In order to avoid further angering him, Lin Ye could only remain silent.

It is easier to understand using the previous analogy - the purchasing power of a low-grade spirit stone in the world of cultivation is approximately 1000 RMB.

The exchange ratio from low-grade to medium-grade and from medium-grade to high-grade is 100:1.

The Tianji Inscription that Lin Ye wanted was not difficult to make for a Yuanying stage cultivator, but its value reached about 50 high-quality spirit stones, which was equivalent to a purchasing power of about 5 million RMB.

Lin Ye also reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Whether it is the destructive power, the productivity of things made at will, or the lifespan, they are no longer the same species as low-level monks.

To be honest, if Lin Ye becomes a third-grade weapon refiner, his monthly income would be approximately tens of millions. Theoretically, it would be quite fast to pay off his debts given the lifespan of a cultivator.

But from the perspective of the branch president, it is still unknown whether he can become a third-grade weapon refiner or whether he will die along the way.

Not to mention that even if we assume that Lin Ye can definitely become a third-grade weapon refiner, it may not be worth asking the Nascent Soul Patriarch for help.

The branch president gradually calmed down, his face returned to calm, and he stroked his long beard: "My friend, ignorance is not a crime. Don't say such ridiculous things next time."

"Also, I have never denied your talent for refining equipment."

There should be a "but" after this sentence, but the branch president omitted the key point...

The branch president left in a huff.

He looked very calm before leaving.

Lin Ye knew clearly that there was already a tragically thick barrier between them.

From now on, as an ordinary weapon refiner, it will be difficult for me to meet someone of this level again.

The assistant handed Lin Ye the badge that symbolized a first-class advanced weapon refiner, and hurried off to chase after the branch president.

Finally, he turned around and waved to Lin Ye in a friendly manner.

Lin Ye’s aptitude is not good, but it is obviously only a matter of time before he becomes a second-grade weapon refiner.

Then it’s worth getting to know!

Monks tend to be very realistic.

"Senior...I'm leaving now."

Lin Ye clasped his fists and bowed to Gongshu Yan, then turned and left the Equipment Refiners Guild.

She stood there in a daze, watching Lin Ye's back gradually disappear into the distance.

Gongshu Yan should be very sad.

As a talented weapon refiner, she was treated as an outlier.

A person with unique talents discovers someone of her kind, only to find that the other person is still different from herself. This compassion and disillusionment entangles her, making her stop and stare for a long time.

Lin Ye stopped thinking about her.

Although he had known for a long time that the probability of obtaining the Heavenly Secret Inscription was low, this failure made Lin Ye anxious.

He couldn't help but think of the hardships he had endured in the past nine hundred years due to his lack of talent... and the fear of failing to achieve immortality.

"...I must succeed in this life!"

After returning home, Lin Ye didn't hesitate at all. He said hello to his Taoist partner and went into the studio.

Because of the unpleasant conversation with the branch president, I didn't have the chance to bring up the matter of moving.

I'd better go to Wanbaolou and ask some other day.

As for now, Lin Ye wants to make money.

While his specially made low-grade spiritual weapon is being sold at a high price, he should be down-to-earth and get his hands on this wave of spiritual stones.

......

in the afternoon.

Lin Ye threw the casting hammer aside and stretched hard.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside.

Lin Ye yawned and asked, "Who is it?"

"Lin Ye, I, open the door!"

Gongshu Yan knocked on the wooden door impatiently. After the door opened, he immediately leaned over and rushed into Lin Ye's house.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Ye was surprised.
