Qian Tong never dreamed that Lin Zhen would be able to break through the Divine Crystal's protective light!
In order to fight against Lin Zhen, Qian Tong had used all kinds of methods.
Persuading Jin Nuo, threatening Lin Zhen, tempting him with his pill recipes.
If all of these failed, Qian Tong wasn't afraid because he had the Divine Crystal.
This was a treasure he had spent almost all of his wealth to obtain and could save his life in a moment of crisis.
He had thought this through well, but he had never imagined that Lin Zhen would have the ability to break through the Divine Crystal's protective light. His main body and Clone had joined forces and continuously bombarded the Divine Crystal's protective light, breaking through it!
On top of that, the Divine Crystal had been taken away by Lin Zhen, so Qian Tong's weakened state was about to arrive.
What was even worse was the black hole hovering above his head!
Qian Tong didn't want to be swallowed by the black hole, he wanted to live.
At this moment of life and death, Qian Tong knelt down!
Kneeling to the ground, Qian Tong resisted the black hole's suction while quickly begging for mercy.
"Lin Zhen! This old man knows he was wrong. I shouldn't have been dissatisfied with you. I shouldn't have done so many wrong things. I beg you to spare this old man's life. I'm willing to refine pills for you for the rest of my life. I'll give you all my pill recipes. I won't dare to be disloyal! "
Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Zhen's face, waiting to see what choice he would make.
Lin Zhen snorted, "You should give up. From the moment you made a move against my family, your fate was sealed. Qian Tong, you're free!"
With a thought, the suction force of the black hole increased!
Qian Tong screamed as his body was sucked into the black hole!
It seemed that Qian Tong still had the strength to resist, and after being sucked into the black hole, he was still struggling, not completely turning to dust.
Lin Zhen's face also wore a dignified look, as if swallowing him would not be easy.
The stalemate lasted for a full five minutes!
In the eyes of others, it was a stalemate, but only Lin Zhen knew that he was searching Qian Tong's Soul!
Lin Zhen hadn't devoured the souls of others for a long time, and even now, ordinary people weren't worth Lin Zhen devouring because there was nothing to learn from them.
But Qian Tong was different.
As the only known Saint-level alchemist in the Primordial Realm, Qian Tong was definitely a super genius in alchemy.
Lin Zhen didn't know if he could be considered a genius in alchemy, but that wasn't important because he could devour geniuses.
Lin Zhen himself was a Peak Grade Seven Alchemist, so if he swallowed Qian Tong's soul, he would definitely advance to the Saint Grade!
This person had actually been part of Lin Zhen's plan to devour since a long time ago.
To others, it seemed like they were locked in a stalemate, but in reality, Lin Zhen had already caused Qian Tong to lose consciousness.
Using Soul Search, Qian Tong's memories flooded his mind like a tidal wave!
Because he was using this technique in front of everyone, Lin Zhen was worried that others would notice, so he directly discarded most of the useless memories of Qian Tong.
But even so, Qian Tong's memories were still too vast, to the point that Lin Zhen felt somewhat powerless.
In the end, as if swallowing a date, Yang Kai forcibly absorbed Qian Tong's memories.
When the black hole dissipated, Lin Zhen was like a drunkard, his body swaying unsteadily.
He cupped his hands towards Jin Nuo and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, I'm now at the weak stage of the medicinal effect. I've consumed too much energy, so I can't accompany Fifth Senior Brother for the time being. Please give me a few days to recuperate."
Jin Nuo saw that Qian Tong was dead and felt relieved in his heart, nodding to Lin Zhen, "Good, go back and have a good rest. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Lin Zhen nodded, got up, and walked towards his residence in the Holy Land.
"Oh right, you killed Qian Tong, so everything he took is your spoils of war. No one else is allowed to harass or covet them, otherwise, don't blame the Holy Land for being merciless!"
Jin Nuo's last words were obviously to protect Lin Zhen and also to announce the ownership of the Divine Crystal.
This made many people who coveted the Divine Crystal give up. Since Jin Nuo had already spoken, if others still wanted the Divine Crystal, they would be courting death.
*****
The battle in Fallen Star Lake's Holy Land allowed people to once again recognize Lin Zhen's strength.
Being able to kill Qian Tong, who was at the intermediate stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, might not be a great achievement, but it was done with Qian Tong's Divine Crystal protecting him, which was particularly rare.
However, many people believed that Lin Zhen's act of killing Qian Tong would cause endless trouble.
After all, Qian Tong was a Saint Grade Alchemist, and a unique one at that. He had many regular customers who needed him to provide Saint Grade pills.
Lin Zhen killing Qian Tong would cut off the source of pills for many people, and those pills were very important to masters.
Once these masters lost their source of pills, they would definitely vent their anger on Lin Zhen, which was a very troublesome matter.
Although Lin Zhen was protected by the Holy Land's Fifth Young Master, Jin Nuo, he would not be in any danger for the time being, but what about in the future? Could Lin Zhen live under Jin Nuo's wings for the rest of his life?
Therefore, many theoretical Emperors believed that Lin Zhen's battle had done more harm than good, even if he had obtained an extremely precious Divine Crystal.
Because even if one obtained a Divine Crystal, they would still need to be alive.
On the day Lin Zhen killed Qian Tong, many masters spoke out, wanting to cause trouble for Lin Zhen, which further confirmed their speculations.
Many people who hated Lin Zhen didn't dare to say anything on the surface, but they were waiting to watch a good show.
*****
Lin Zhen had indeed entered a period of weakness due to the effects of the Divine Power Pill, but this was not important. Now that he had returned to his residence, what Lin Zhen needed to do was absorb the Divine Power Pill.
As an intermediate stage Soul Transformation cultivator, Qian Tong had too many memories.
His life was an extremely glorious one, and he had enjoyed far too many things.
But cultivators were like this. If one's absolute strength was not strong enough, whether it was Immortality or Divine Transformation, they would eventually be defeated.
It was precisely because Lin Zhen had seen too many things like this that he had been constantly improving.
Qian Tong's Martial Skills were not commendable, but he had too many memories of alchemy.
Since childhood, Qian Tong had been dabbling in alchemy, and he was definitely a genius in alchemy. Epiphanies in alchemy were normal for him.
Great Qin's Alchemist Guild Headquarters had produced a total of three Saint Grade Alchemists.
Pill Deity Shui Wuhen, Pill Sage Hillman, and Pill King Qian Tong.
Shui Wuhen and Hillman were both ancient figures who had not appeared for a long time.
However, in Qian Tong's memories, these two should not be dead yet. They had just gone to the Endless Sea of Stars a long time ago, and it was unknown if they were still around.
Qian Tong was the only Saint Grade Alchemist left in the Primordial Realm.
To be able to obtain the title of Pill King, Qian Tong's ability was self-evident.
Just in terms of Saint Grade pills, Qian Tong was proficient in three.
The first kind of pill was called the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, which was also Qian Tong's signature pill for advancing to Saint Master. Even if someone died, as long as they had not been dead for too long and had not been cut into pieces, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill could pull them back from the gates of hell.
This kind of pill was the most Heaven-defying and was very difficult to refine.
The second kind of pill sounded ordinary, but it was also very important. It was called the Flower Nourishing Pill.
The Flower Nourishing Pill was used to strengthen a cultivator's Three Flowers. This kind of pill was important, but it was also not that important.
When a cultivator condensed their Three Flowers, the strength of their Star Energy depended on the degree to which the Three Flowers bloomed. The more brilliant the Three Flowers bloomed, the stronger one would be.
This process required a cultivator to constantly nourish their Three Flowers with Star Energy. It was an extremely long process.
Moreover, even if one had enough patience, they might not be able to make the Three Flowers bloom completely because everyone's aptitude was different.
Even if Qian Tong had the ability to refine the Flower Nourishing Pill, his talent was too poor. He had relied entirely on the accumulation of medicinal herbs to reach this realm, so even with the Flower Nourishing Pill, he had not been able to fully bloom his Three Flowers.
Qian Tong's Three Flowers were only a little bigger than the Flower Buds, but he had forcibly broken through to the Divine Sense Transformation.
This was because refining the Flower Nourishing Pill was not easy, and there were side effects when a cultivator absorbed medicinal herbs. If one wanted to rely on the Flower Nourishing Pill, talent, perseverance, and wealth were indispensable. Qian Tong was not qualified in any other aspect except for his wealth.
The last kind of pill was the Psychokinesis Divine Pill.
The Psychokinesis Divine Pill was the last of the Three Flowers. When a cultivator's Divine Sense Flower reached the maximum level they could reach, it was an important item for breaking through to the Divine Sense Transformation.
The Three Flowers were the Flower of Energy, the Flower of Qi, and the Flower of Divine Sense.
The final mutation of the Divine Sense Flower was the Divine Sense Transformation.
With Qian Tong's aptitude, if not for the Flower Nourishing Pill and the Psychokinesis Divine Pill, he would not have been able to reach the Divine Sense Transformation even after eight lifetimes.
These three pills were each more Heaven-defying than the last, so it was no wonder Qian Tong had been able to accumulate a huge amount of wealth.
After Qian Tong was swallowed by the black hole, his body did not turn to dust but was instead taken into Lin Zhen's Inner World. Qian Tong's collection was also plundered by Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen thought that Qian Tong would have a lot of money, but after obtaining his collection, Lin Zhen realized that in order to deal with Lin Zhen, Qian Tong had almost exhausted all of his wealth.
Recently, Qian Tong had been performing Alchemy at Fallen Star Lake, and most of his pills had been given to Fallen Star Lake. Without a source of income, Qian Tong had been sitting around and eating. In order to deal with Lin Zhen, Qian Tong had repeatedly hired servants, paid for Wormhole Eggs, and so on. In the end, he only had a little more than ten billion left.
Fortunately, Lin Zhen was not short on money now, and Qian Tong's Inner World had left behind a lot of herbs, so Lin Zhen had directly taken them all.
The Dark Star had now become a veritable Herb Star, and the entire continent was filled with herbs.
After Lin Zhen received all of Qian Tong's memories, seven days had passed.
After that, Lin Zhen used another three days to familiarize himself with the refinement of several types of Saint Grade pills.
Lin Zhen himself was a Peak Seventh-Grade Alchemist, and with Qian Tong's memories, Lin Zhen's Alchemy skills were now far superior to Qian Tong's.
If there was a Peak Saint Grade Alchemist, then Lin Zhen was a Peak Saint Grade Alchemist!
"It's about time, I can't stay here any longer, I have to find my son's whereabouts."
Lin Zhen ended his retreat and prepared to go out to find Jin Nuo to find his son's whereabouts.
While taking a look at the Multidimensional Universe, Lin Zhen found that Qian Tong's death had caused quite a stir outside.
