A smile appeared on Linlong's face as he caressed the Hidden Dragon Jadeite in his arms. He turned a deaf ear to the girl in purple's angry curses.
The girl in purple was the second daughter of the Su family, Su Qingqing. Linlong had only defeated her because he had exploited the flaws in the sand table's design.
However, to be honest, apart from him, a reborn Martial Emperor, there was probably no one in this world who could see the flaw in the sand table. In his previous life, a rune master only discovered it by accident after a few decades.
If he had not exploited this flaw, Linlong would not have been able to defeat his opponent. He could tell that the reason why she could control the runes to such an extent was all because of the ring on her finger.
The ring must have been engraved with a rune matrix, which was why she could use the matrix's energy to control the runes to such an extent. Otherwise, Linlong would not have cared about her true strength at all.
Runes were very mysterious things, but Linlong's current strength was still unable to draw them and use their energy. So even though he was a reborn cultivator, it was still impossible for him to use runes.
After leaving the Rune Battle Hall, Linlong did not leave the market. Instead, he went to Alchemist Zuo Han's house.
Zuo Han was there, and so was Jian Lan. Although they had successfully refined a new type of Profound Qi Pill, they were still not familiar with refining this new type of Profound Qi Pill, so they basically stayed in the medicine refining room these days.
It was the same at this time. Only by continuously refining the Mysterious Qi Pill could they increase their proficiency and completely master the new pill.
Even though they were all experienced alchemists, this truth still came true for them.
Constantly repeating the same process and refining the same pill. The more they understood this truth, the more they realized how terrifying Linlong was. Because on that day, Linlong had only used one set of ingredients to successfully refine the Mysterious Qi Pill.
This young man must have a powerful alchemist behind him, and he himself was an extremely talented alchemist.
This was the definition they once again had of Linlong these past few days.
Because of this, and because of their respect for powerhouses, or rather their subconscious desire to curry favor with them, they did not complain at all when Linlong came to ask for pills. Not only that, but they even smiled without any pretense.
When they saw Lin Long appear at the door of the medicine refinement room once again, the two of them smiled sincerely. "Little brother Lin, what's the matter?"
"Let me use the medicine refinery for a while," said Linlong.
"Little Brother Lin, are you going to refine a new pill?" Jian Lan was delighted.
Even though Lin Long was young, in his opinion, every single time he watched Lin Long cultivate pills, he would gain something from it. Therefore, he was naturally happy that Lin Long wanted to cultivate pills.
As for Zuo Han, her face was also filled with joy.
However, what made them depressed was that Lin Long's next words directly rejected their wish to see Lin Long refine elixirs.
"Yes, but I don't want to be disturbed at this time, so you can leave." After saying this, Lin Long closed the door of the medicine refinery room, leaving the two of them looking at each other outside.
What Linlong wanted to refine was a Profound Qi Pill that was infused with the emerald liquid from the Hidden Dragon Jade, so he naturally did not want Zuo Han and Jian Lan to see his refining process. After all, at this time, no one in this world would use the emerald liquid to enhance the effects of the Profound Qi Pill.
Moreover, the emerald liquid was an extremely precious item. In his opinion, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
To use the emerald liquid to refine the Mysterious Qi Pill, one must first extract the emerald liquid. The emerald liquid was in the Hidden Dragon Jade. The method of extraction sounded simple, but it was difficult to do.
It was to use the medicine cauldron and some other materials to melt the emerald liquid from the Hidden Dragon Jade. This smelting process was the same as refining pills. There could not be any mistakes in the mixing and smelting process. Otherwise, a piece of Hidden Dragon Jade would be wasted.
Of course, this was no obstacle to Lin Long.
However, because the refined jadeite liquid could not be stored for too long, in order not to waste a single bit of the jadeite liquid, after refining the jadeite liquid, Linlong once again worked overtime in the medicine refining room to refine the Mysterious Qi Pill.
Linlong spent almost an entire day without sleep or rest before he completely used up the Jadeite Liquid. Fortunately, Jian Lan and the rest had left enough ingredients in the alchemy room, so he did not have to worry about running out of ingredients.
In almost a day's time, he had refined ten Xuan Qi Pills with the Emerald Liquid. Compared to his peak, this speed and success rate were naturally nothing to look at, but it was enough to satisfy him. After all, his current strength was not as strong, and even his Divine Sense was not as strong as when he was at his peak.
Ten such Mysterious Qi Pills were enough for him to use for more than two months. Moreover, during this time, his strength would definitely increase at a rate that was twice as fast as before.
He was naturally satisfied with this predictable result. Of course, if it was not for the fact that going too far was as bad as not going far enough, he would have even taken two of these pills a week.
When Linlong left the medicine refining room, Jian Lan and Zuo Han, who had entered the room, were shocked once again. Judging from the consumption rate of the ingredients, Linlong's speed and success rate were truly astonishing. It was something that they could not even hope to catch up to.
After coming out, Lin Long ate some food to replenish his strength and rested for a while. Only then did he return to the clan with Xiao Die and Zhang Zhi.
Not far from the walls of the market, a group of people had already surrounded them.
When he saw the people on horseback, a smile involuntarily appeared on Lin Long's face. This was because the person leading the group was Su Qingqing, who had lost to him the jade yesterday. Su Qingqing was still dressed in purple, but there was no smile on her face. Instead, she stared at Lin Long with a frosty expression.
If his eyes could kill, Lin Long would have probably died ten million times over.
The people following Su Qingqing seemed to be some members of the Su family and a few young boys and girls that he saw at the Runic Battle Hall that day. Among these people, Su Qingqing was the strongest. Lin Long really did not know what gave Su Qingqing the confidence to bring these people to stop them.
After meeting Lin Long's gaze, Su Qingqing angrily said, "Linlong, you shameless person. Hurry up and hand over my jade!"
Lin Long shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I have no intention of giving my things to others."
Of course, even if he wanted to, he could not return it. During the smelting process yesterday, that piece of jade had already been completely shattered.
"Don't you still have it? Then duel with me. I will teach you a good lesson!" Su Qingqing glared at Lin Long. After speaking, she directly flipped off her horse. Seeing her standing on the ground with her long, shapely eyebrows furrowed, she looked valiant and formidable.
"Since there is a woman challenging me, wouldn't I be worse than a woman if I don't accept?" Lin Long said as he yawned.
Su Qingqing gritted her teeth in anger at his attitude of not taking her seriously.
This Linlong's strength is so far below Qingqing's, yet he still dares to accept her challenge. Could it be that he has become stupid or is he still dreaming?
The same thought flashed through the minds of the people who had come with Su Qingqing when they saw Linlong's listless expression.
"Fine, you are courting death. Don't blame me," Su Qingqing said hatefully.
"Hurry up, I still want to go back and rest." As he spoke, Lin Long yawned again.
To be honest, he was really sleepy. After all, he had expended too much mental energy refining the Profound Qi Pill. It was not something that could be immediately recovered with a short rest.
Su Qingqing, who was so angry that her face was flushed red, did not speak this time. Instead, she directly rushed over. Right now, her only thought was to ruthlessly beat up this Lin Long who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Yes, it would be best if she could smash his mouth so that he would not be able to speak for the rest of his life.
The incomparably furious Su Qingqing immediately used her signature move, the Su family's mid-grade yellow-rank martial technique, Dragon's Whirlwind.
With her full strength, the sand and stones on the ground were actually swept up by her powerful force. It was as if an endless gale was wreaking havoc in this small area.
In an instant, everyone became insignificant. Due to the endless sand and dust, the surrounding people were unable to clearly see Lin Long and Su Qingqing, who were in the center of the storm.
This was a mid-grade yellow-rank martial technique. Furthermore, Qingqing was a level higher than him. This Lin Long was in trouble.
To be able to use Dragon's Whirlwind to this extent, it seemed that Qingqing had put in a lot of effort. Even if Lin Long had grasped a high-grade yellow-rank martial technique, he would not be able to gain the upper hand.
Seeing this situation, the surrounding people began to evaluate in their hearts.
In their opinion, the one who would lose was definitely Lin Long. The only difference was how he would lose.
