My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

Page 6

"Such a huge traitor within our ranks, how...how are we supposed to wipe out that group of cultivators who injured you now..."

Chu Yingying was also a little frightened.

Fellow Daoist Gu is a high-ranking member of the Qi Refining stage and an annihilation organization.

If he himself were one of the bandits, this mission to wipe out the enemy would be fraught with danger!

Lin Ye said, "Yingying, if you don't have to go, then don't go."

Chu Yingying pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, if this matter is a scheme by a few late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from various streets and alleys, then there's no use in us staying at home."

"Conversely, if the enemy is only Gu and his henchmen, once it is discovered that they are the mole, there are already many ways to deal with them."

Lin Ye sighed: "What you said makes sense, but I'm very worried about you."

Chu Yingying was taken aback, then smiled brightly: "Don't be nervous... Knowing about the mole, I'll be very careful."

"I have to take action against those who harmed you."

"And...we're also short of money!"

Lin Ye nodded: "Okay, since we're going, let's make thorough preparations."

"Ok!"

There is no perfect solution in this world.

And we need to be prepared.

Although she claimed not to be afraid, how could Chu Yingying's gaze not contain the fear of eternal separation when she looked at him?

Chapter Seven Level 3 Helmet

Over the next few days, Lin Ye was somewhat anxious. The conspiracy had already enveloped the small alley where he lived, but no one else knew about it.

Late at night.

Chu Yingying was so tired that she fell asleep.

She put a strand of hair into the corner of her mouth, and Lin Ye reached out to help her brush it away.

At this moment, Lin Ye noticed a satisfied smile on her lips.

Lin Ye glanced at the slightly cramped bed, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

During their tender nighttime encounter, Lin Ye discovered, through a connection that was sometimes shallow and sometimes deep, that not only his own spiritual root, but also Chu Yingying's metal element had become slightly stronger.

The improvement compared to my previous performance is not very obvious, but there has been some progress.

It turns out that through dual cultivation, not only can one strengthen oneself, but one's cultivation partner can also be influenced!

The bloodline has been awakened!

This surprised and delighted Lin Ye.

While pleasantly surprised, Lin Ye became increasingly reluctant to let Chu Yingying take any risks.

"We need to prepare better protective gear."

"The second level of Qi Refining is still too low."

Lin Ye opened the panel, and the lines of small, glowing text in the darkness gave him a sense of security.

[Gained 1 point of the "Gengjin Rat" beast bloodline]

【Mythical Beast Bloodline "Gengjin Rat": 360/50000】

[Metal-type spiritual root: 360/1000]

You have broken through to the third stage of Qi Refining.

Lin Ye's eyes widened.

Success...

This body had previously attempted to break through to the third level of Qi Refining. Although it failed at the time, it was clear that it was not far off. It was just that it was injured now.

Lin Ye gave it a try.

If it hurts, you should force yourself to stop, but you succeed. So it seems that although the hidden injuries on your body have not been healed, it does not mean that you cannot make progress.

A dull pain gradually appeared, and the flow of spiritual energy accelerated along with the breakthrough. The intense pain in his body made Lin Ye realize that this breakthrough still came at a price.

After being in pain for a long time, I finally started to feel better.

Qi Refining Stage 3!

moment.

Lin Ye's face lit up with joy. After accumulating strength, he had finally broken through and his spiritual energy circulation speed had increased significantly, making weapon refining much more effective.

In this situation...

Chu Yingying's protective gear has been secured.

After the breakthrough, he felt his body become several times lighter.

"...I can build it!"

Unable to calm down, Lin Ye simply got out of bed and returned to the weapon-refining workshop.

The next day.

The materials available at hand are not enough to make satisfactory armor.

Lin Ye and Chu Yingying went out together and quietly disposed of several mid-level spiritual artifacts.

Spiritual artifacts are high-value commodities, and their price can be understood as follows: the purchasing power of a low-level spiritual artifact in the cultivation world is roughly equivalent to several hundred to several thousand RMB.

Lin Ye felt that in this era, a low-grade spirit stone was roughly equivalent to 1000 RMB.

This is the monthly income of a Qi Refining Stage 1 cultivator.

Cultivation is not easy...

A mid-grade first-rank spiritual weapon, if sold quickly, can fetch anywhere from a few to a dozen low-grade spirit stones.

Lin Ye quickly disposed of the intermediate-level spiritual artifacts in his hands.

"My current total assets are 181 low-grade spirit stones, which is almost enough to exchange for 2 mid-grade spirit stones."

"My wallet seems to be getting fatter, but a second-grade pill to treat hidden injuries costs 10 mid-grade spirit stones!"

"I can't afford it right now."

Such pills for treating injuries to spiritual roots are not something that even a second-grade alchemist can easily refine, and are naturally expensive.

This also shows the huge class gap between cultivators of different levels.

Lin Ye needs to save up more before he can buy it.

He ran to another market and exchanged all the low-grade spirit stones in his hand for refining materials.

They even bought a small piece of high-grade material.

My wallet just started to bulge a little.

We'll be poor again soon.

Starstone is a high-grade refining material that is quite sturdy, but has poor spiritual energy conductivity. Its uneven surface affects its price, which also makes it affordable for Lin Ye.

The shopkeeper smiled and assumed that Chu Yingying was the weapon refiner who needed high-grade materials, and Lin Ye was just a follower.

After all, judging from the level of understanding is more reasonable.

Very well, Lin Ye was spared the need for further explanation.

After returning home, he used the starstone to make cutting edges for a lathe.

This material isn't suitable for refining weapons; it's too small.

Good steel is used on the blade.

With the lathe.

Efficiency will improve significantly!

Lin Ye has excellent operating skills and can peel hard-boiled eggs on a lathe without cutting the egg white.

Back in his first life, Lin Ye honed his skills while working in a factory in the cyber cultivation world. He rose through the ranks from a standard firearms factory to a factory that built mechs for Foundation Establishment cultivators, thus gaining access to advanced technology.

Ahem, that’s too far off topic!

Although the casting machine hasn't been developed yet, the lathe is ready, which will allow Lin Ye to further expand the lower and upper limits of weapon crafting.

Using inferior materials to replace the star stones caused Lin Ye to become completely exhausted.

The results were remarkable.

After a short trial, I found that the Star Stone's cutting effect is incredibly satisfying, just like cutting tofu.

Lin Ye was surprised that he could easily obtain such handy lathe materials, and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

However, he was concerned that Chu Yingying's safety could not be guaranteed.

That excitement vanished instantly.

Lin Ye picked up the refining materials.

Sitting calmly in front of the lathe, he was about to make a set of armor for Chu Yingying to wear in battle.

In the afternoon, Lin Ye got up and stretched.

It's done!

A helmet with a protection level of 6!

Lin Ye was exhausted and covered in sweat. He changed his clothes first, and then brought the finished product to Chu Yingying.

Upon receiving the thick, black helmet, a hint of surprise flashed across Chu Yingying's face.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what is this?"

"Level 3 helmet, a type of protective faceplate."

Lin Ye helped Chu Yingying put it on, and she waited obediently.

This helmet, which looks like a thickened welder's mask, is not technically a magical artifact; it's just a semi-finished product. However, its protective effect is excellent.

It has no additional effects such as dust removal or lightness; it is simply hard.

Hardness is enough!

Lin Ye explained, "Wear it when you participate in the extermination operation, and let it protect you for me."

"Thank you..." Chu Yingying patted the level 3 helmet and laughed, "It feels so thick and sturdy, it looks really tough!"

of course.

By the standards of ten thousand years from now, this helmet would be rated as level 6, capable of withstanding various standard weapons used by Qi Refining stage cultivators. However, even if I explained it to Chu Yingying, she wouldn't understand.

When it was time to set off, Chu Yingying put on the "level 3 helmet" that Lin Ye had prepared.

He also stuffed a string of grenades in there, as well as tactical armor that covered his entire body against stabs.

She was fully armed.

These things may seem bulky, but they don't get in the way of cultivators.

Chu Yingying raised her hand to push up her level 3 helmet, gently stroking Lin Ye's chest, her beautiful eyes sparkling: "I'm setting off..."

"come back earlier."

"Ok!"

Lin Ye lowered his head and kissed her cheek, fastened his helmet, and watched Chu Yingying, clad in heavy armor, walk further and further away.

At this time.

A neighbor with a long beard greeted me with a friendly smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, it's been a long time."

Congratulations on breaking through to the third stage of Qi Refining!
