After obtaining nine Xiantian High Grade sword embryos and one Earth Fiend Low Grade sword embryos, Ling Dong left Flaming Cloud City and found a secluded place. Using the mountain rocks, he tested the power of the Light Shaking Powder using the embryos.
It had to be said that the longer a person lived, especially in a situation where danger lurked everywhere, the more careful they would become at times. Ling Dong was exactly like this.
After wasting a Xiantian Upper Grade sword embryo and turning his deduction into reality, Ling Dong returned to Flaming Cloud City full of confidence after confirming that the Alkaid Powder used by this crippled sword embryo was ridiculously powerful.
Especially that Earth Fiend Lower Grade sword embryo, it allowed Ling Dong to stay in Flaming Cloud City without worrying about any accidents occurring during these few days when Manor Head Jiao found his friends. As an Earth Fiend Realm expert and an Earth Pill Refiner expert, his rallying power was still very strong.
When he returned to Flaming Cloud City, the sky was already dark. He found an inn to stay in and casually ate some dinner before preparing to cultivate. Continuous and unrelenting cultivation was truly the best way to increase one's cultivation.
"Bang bang bang!" Not long after he sat down cross-legged, there was a knock on the door. Ling Dong couldn't help but frown. There was someone at the door, but before that, he didn't hear any footsteps. This meant that the problem was very serious — the person who came was much stronger than him.
"Could it be that Jiao Xinglie found an expert to take revenge for him?" It wasn't that Ling Dong was suspicious, because killing someone didn't require a huge commotion to break in. Perhaps the moment the door was opened, a sword would pierce through the throat.
Just as Ling Dong was on guard, a gentle laughter suddenly came from outside the door, "Little Friend Ling Dong, don't be alarmed. I am Yuan Chen!"
"Yuan Chen?" Hearing this, Ling Dong let out a sigh of relief. If that Manor Head Yuan Chen came to his door, he definitely wouldn't be able to discover him. However, why was Yuan Chen looking for him so late at night?
Ling Dong immediately came up with a plan when he recalled the conflict between him and Jiao Xinglie at the Pharmacist's Residence. Yuan Chen had insisted on his position but was also very ambiguously biased towards him.
As the saying goes, a leopard can't change its spots — Pill Addict Yuan Chen.
"Mr. Doyen, I've only just settled in. You've grown old so quickly!" Ling Dong said after opening the door.
"Oh, in that case, this old man has become an unwelcome guest? Haha, as the Great Mansion Master of the Medicine Master Manor, it's very easy for him to know a person's whereabouts. " Yuan Chen said that he was an uninvited guest, but he walked straight into Ling Dong's room. He didn't wait for Ling Dong to give him a seat and sat down first.
"Little guy, it was not wise of you to agree to the alchemy battle with Jiao Xinglie. He's a Low Tier Earth Pill Refiner, and he's not as simple as you think. Without talking about other things, just his accumulation over the years is not something you can compare to.
If I were you, I would leave right now. Furthermore, with your age, no one would look down on you for making such a decision! "Yuan Chen suddenly said.
Ling Dong heard this and smiled confidently. "Mr. Doyen, I feel that if Jiao Xinglie had any self-awareness, he would have fled right now and lived in seclusion!"
"Hahahaha!" Yuan Chen suddenly laughed out loud. "Little Friend Ling is indeed arrogant and confident. You haven't lost the slightest bit of your ability to scheme against a Xiantian Realm Level Seven master when you were at Houtian Realm Level Eight last year!" After laughing, Yuan Chen continued, "Forget it, this old man has made an unnecessary move. Let's not talk about this anymore!" The person who spoke revealed a trace of dissatisfaction.
With Ling Dong's abilities, how could he not understand? He hurriedly bowed and said, "For today's matter, I thank Mr. Doyen for protecting me multiple times. I thank you!"
Yuan Chen calmly accepted Ling Dong's greeting. However, he stroked his fairy-like beard. His eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Ling Dong. He did not say anything else. It was as if he was speaking in a profound manner.
Ling Dong looked at Yuan Chen's expression and couldn't help but laugh secretly. In this world, saints were indeed rare. Everyone had their own goals and ambitions when they did things, and Yuan Chen was no exception.
"Mr. Doyen, please wait for a moment!" Ling Dong excused himself. With a flip of his hand, he took out a pill formula that he had written in advance from his Yin and Yang Ring.
However, Ling Dong didn't hand it over to Yuan Chen immediately. Instead, he took out a brush and ink, leaned over the table, and wrote close to a hundred words on it. After drying the ink, he handed it over to Yuan Chen.
"This is the pill formula for the Hundred Beasts Revival Pill. I hope Mr. Doyen will kindly accept it as a token of my gratitude," Ling Dong said.
Hearing this, Yuan Chen was indeed overjoyed. However, his gaze towards Ling Dong was a little cold, as if it contained a trace of killing intent!
Luo's fairy-like beard trembled uncontrollably. Yuan Chen took the pill formula with both hands and couldn't wait to read it. After a few breaths, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Young friend Ling, why is the handwriting on this pill formula one old and one new? One part was written in the past, and the other part is written by you now? "Yuan Chen frowned and asked.
"That's right!" Ling Dong admitted calmly.
"Why is it like this? Is there a problem with this pill formula? "Yuan Chen's brows furrowed again.
Ling Dong wasn't in a hurry. He stood up and explained, "Mr. Doyen, the pill formula for the Hundred Beasts Revival Pill is also a kind of treasure, right?"
Hearing this, Yuan Chen nodded.
"That's right. It's hard to avoid being coveted by bad people when traveling outside with such a precious treasure. Therefore, I wrote a formula in advance. If there's really a crisis, I can use it to save my life! Of course, this pill formula that I wrote in advance has been cleverly designed. Although there are some flaws, most people won't be able to see them. "
At this point, Yuan Chen's old face turned slightly red. Ling Dong paused for a moment. "This flawed pill formula can save a life, but it can also make the bad person suffer a little. If the bad person really refines the pill according to this pill formula, he will suffer a lot! "
Yuan Chen's heart skipped a beat. "What kind of suffering will he suffer?"
"Most of the flaws in this pill formula were personally taught by my teacher. If someone refines according to the flawed pill formula, the cauldron will explode and injure others. In the worst case, the pill will be refined into a poisonous pill, harming others."
Seeing the change in Yuan Chen's expression, Ling Dong laughed. "However, Mr. Doyen, please don't worry. The pill formula I gave you is 100% authentic. If Mr. Doyen has any doubts, you can look at the back. There's even an explanation of the pill formula for the Hundred Beasts Revival Pill. Mr. Doyen is an expert on this trip. You'll know if it's real or fake with just a glance!"
Hearing this, Yuan Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. This young man was indeed the same as he was a year ago. Everything he did was meticulous and planned. His way of doing things was definitely not like a young man's.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chen's heart skipped a beat. According to the way this young man acted, he should have planned for the pill competition with Jiao Xinglie to be flawless. He definitely wouldn't have acted on impulse.
However, Yuan Chen couldn't understand. Even if this young man was an alchemist, how many years could he do it? Where did he get the confidence to win from?
Since he couldn't figure it out, Yuan Chen didn't think too much about it. According to Ling Dong's instructions, he carefully matched the pill formula with Ling Dong's explanation. After a while, Yuan Chen's furrowed brows finally relaxed. He carefully kept the pill formula.
"If that's the case, this old man will shamelessly … accept it!" When he raised his head and saw Ling Dong's half-smile, Yuan Chen's old face turned slightly red. After going in such a big circle to scheme for the other party's pill formula, he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to give it to him.
After pondering for a while, Yuan Chen's left hand gently swiped across his Universe Ring. He took out an ice jade box that was emitting cold air and handed it to Ling Dong. "However, the pill formula for this Hundred Beasts Revival Pill is exceptionally precious. It's worth a city! If this old man doesn't express his gratitude, it'll be inexcusable.
Take this Ice Spirit Exorcism Pill as a thank you gift for giving me the pill formula, my young friend. This Ice Spirit Exorcism Pill is an Earth Fiend Middle-grade pill. It's capable of curing hundreds of poisons and expelling Evil Qi. I hope it'll be of help to you in your Battle Pill the day after tomorrow.
In addition, Young Friend Ling should understand that although this medicinal pill can cure hundreds of poisons, there are more than tens of thousands of poisons in this world. Detoxification pays more attention to the correspondence between medicinal pills and poisons. Therefore, Young Friend should still make more preparations for the Martial Battle Pill the day after tomorrow! "
Ling Dong didn't stand on ceremony. He reached out and accepted the pill formula. His Hundred Beasts Revival Pill formula was definitely worth this price. In fact, it was worth it. However, exchanging it for a favor from an Earth Fiend expert who was also a future Heavenly Alchemist was definitely worth it.
When he saw Ling Dong accept it, Yuan Chen suddenly stuttered, "Uh … Young friend Ling … I wonder if you have any other pill formulas … I'm willing to purchase them at a high price!"
Yuan Chen asked this because Ling Dong's words about tampering with the pill formula had worked. It was undeniable that the instant Ling Dong casually took out the pill formula, Yuan Chen felt a little embarrassed.
Yuan Chen had even considered the possibility that Ling Dong might have other precious pill formulas on him. Precious pill formulas were no less attractive to an Earth Alchemist who was nicknamed the Pill Fanatic than a naked beauty was to a man who had taken a strong aphrodisiac.
However, Ling Dong's following words made Yuan Chen suck in a breath of cold air. At the same time, he dispelled that unpleasant thought.
This young man was too terrifying! If he really killed this young man and obtained the pill formulas he carried with him, it would probably bring him a lot of trouble back. An explosion during pill refinement wasn't as simple as injuring someone!
The instant the cauldron exploded, it could very well destroy the formation that triggered the Earth Fire. Under the eruption of the Earth Fire, the odds were stacked against him.
After dispelling that unpleasant thought, Yuan Chen finally asked this question. He wanted to obtain other pill formulas through proper means.
"Mister Yuan, I won't hide it from you. I have pill formulas. However, I haven't fully understood some of them. If I give them to you now, I'm afraid they're incomplete. When I've completed the pill formulas in the future, I'll definitely pay you a visit in the Apothecary Manor. "Ling Dong rejected him tactfully.
"Alright! This old man was too greedy. It won't be too late to think of other pill formulas after I've thoroughly understood the Hundred Beasts Revival Pill! "Yuan Chen mocked himself. He naturally understood Ling Dong's intentions.
Ling Dong was waiting for the right price. He was waiting for the right time to get the right pill formulas. Moreover, Ling Dong's words also contained a faint warning. If he used force, he would only be able to obtain the incomplete pill formulas. The different handwriting on the front had already proved this matter. He was extremely shrewd and ruthless in his actions!
"Three days later, this old man will be a witness at the Apothecary Manor. I'll do my best to notarize it! Young Friend Ling, you must be careful. This old man is still thinking of your pill formulas, "Yuan Chen said.
"Don't worry, Mister Yuan!"
