I Started by Worshipping the Wrong Peak. It Turns Out That I am Invincible Just by Refining Pills?

54: A heaven-defying return of ten thousand times, a holy elixir is born!”Earth-Grade Wood Element and Water Attribute natural treasures?”

Dan Qing looked at Lin Yan, inquiring about these items, a puzzled expression on his face. After all, these things had no connection to the Dao of Alchemy. However, he still smiled and said, ”Our Alchemist Association just happens to have these two items in stock. They were used as payment by many Cultivators who sought Medicinal Pills from us before.”

”Really?”

Upon hearing Dan Qing’s words, Lin Yan’s heart was instantly filled with pleasant surprise. He hadn’t expected the Alchemist Association to actually have them in stock.

However, once he thought about how the Alchemist Association was the most powerful force in the entire Northern Border, he immediately felt relieved.

Earth-Grade Five Elements natural treasures, while precious, were generally only useful for Golden Core Stage Cultivators. Once one reached the Nascent Soul level, their effect became negligible.

”Does Alchemist Lin need these two items? If so, I will immediately have someone fetch them for you.”

In response, Lin Yan nodded earnestly.

”To be honest, these two items are indeed of great use to this Junior.”

Lin Yan then added, ”The cost of these two treasures will be deducted from the proceeds of the Medicinal Pill auction later.”

However, Dan Qing shook his head and smiled at Lin Yan’s words.

”Alchemist Lin, please don’t be like that. They are merely two Earth-Grade natural treasures, not particularly precious.”

”Moreover, these two items are just gathering dust in our Alchemist Association. It’s better to give them to someone who needs them, like Alchemist Lin.”

However, Lin Yan smiled wryly at Dan Qing’s words.

”If Senior is unwilling to charge, then this Junior would rather search for them myself.”

He had already received one Earth-Grade Fire Element natural treasure for free. If he were to freeload two more Earth-Grade Five Elements natural treasures, how would Dan Qing view him?

As a petty person who loved to take advantage of others?

Opposite him, Dan Qing saw Lin Yan’s resolute expression, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He grew even fonder of Lin Yan and more appreciative. He immediately smiled and said,

”Alchemist Lin, how about this: I, this old man, have been stuck at the Nascent Soul Peak for a long time. When you are able to refine a fifth-grade Late Stage Medicinal Pill, how about you help this old man refine a Soul Essence Pill?”

In the Cultivation world, for a Cultivator to Breakthrough from Nascent Soul to Concentration Realm, they need to transform their Nascent Soul Power into Divine Soul Power. During this process, a Heavenly Tribulation will descend.

The purpose of the Soul Essence Pill is to help Cultivators during the transformation of Nascent Soul into Divine Soul, providing a protective and Breakthrough-assisting effect.

If there is no Soul Essence Pill for protection and Breakthrough assistance, even with outstanding talent, the Nascent Soul body will be destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation during the process of transforming Nascent Soul Power into Divine Soul Power.

If lucky, one’s Cultivation will fall to the Golden Core Stage. If unlucky, it will be Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, with both body and spirit annihilated.

This was also why Dan Qing had remained at the Nascent Soul Peak, unwilling to attempt a Breakthrough. After all, unless one’s lifespan was nearing its end, who would be willing to gamble on such an elusive opportunity?

This Heavenly Tribulation was not a joke.

”A fifth-grade Late Stage Soul Essence Pill?”

He had originally thought Dan Qing would make some incredibly high demand, but it was only a fifth-grade Late Stage Soul Essence Pill?

This was too simple for Lin Yan. As long as he had the Materials, he could refine it now. Although it might not reach Ten Pill Mark, five Pill Markings or more should be no problem.

After all, Lin Yan’s Alchemy level was only at fifth-grade Middle Stage currently.

In response, Lin Yan immediately smiled and said,

”No problem, Senior Dan Qing. Once this Junior’s Alchemy level reaches fifth-grade Late Stage, I will definitely refine a Soul Essence Pill for Senior at the first opportunity! Quality guaranteed to be Ten Pill Mark or above!”

Upon hearing Lin Yan’s words, even Dan Qing, a Nascent Soul Peak Cultivator, seemed as overjoyed as a child at this moment.

”In that case, I shall await good news from Alchemist Lin!”

Subsequently, Dan Qing handed the Earth-Grade Wood Element and Water Attribute natural treasures to Lin Yan.

”Um, Senior Dan Qing, this Junior might need to borrow this small Secret Realm to Cultivate for a period of time.”

Dan Qing replied with a smile, ”Alchemist Lin, feel free to use it. From now on, Alchemist Lin is a Guest Elder of our Northern Border Alchemist Association. If you wish to come to this small Secret Realm, you may do so anytime!”

After giving his smiling reply, Dan Qing left with a beaming face. As the President, he had many matters to attend to and naturally could not stay with Lin Yan indefinitely.

【Super Pill Qi Art successfully comprehended Earth-Grade Metal Element natural treasure, Metal Element Rule Power comprehended to two-tenths!】

【Super Pill Qi Art successfully comprehended Earth-Grade Fire Element natural treasure, Fire Element Rule Power comprehended to four-tenths!】

【Ten Thousand Transformations Array Dao has finished comprehending Heaven-Grade Grand Formation, promoted to Heaven-Grade Low Grade! And successfully comprehended a Heaven-Grade Low Grade Formation, an offensive-defensive integrated Grand Formation!】

”Little Dan, you’re probably going to be busy again!”

Lin Yan arrived at the top of a towering mountain deep within the small Secret Realm, then sat down cross-legged on the peak.

”No fear, Master, this is exactly what I anticipate!”

【Super Pill Qi Art sensed the Earth-Grade Wood Element and Water Attribute natural treasures and entered a state of comprehension!】

At the same time, Lin Yan didn’t remain idle. He directly took out a Spirit Accumulation Pill with Ten Pill Mark, then silently chanted in his mind,

”System, use Ten Thousand Times Return on the Spirit Accumulation Pill!”

【Congratulations to Host, Ten Thousand Times Return successfully used on a fourth-grade Early Stage Spirit Accumulation Pill with Ten Pill Mark, obtaining one Saint Grade Early Stage Cultivation Pill with Ten Pill Mark!】

Buzz!

The moment the Saint Grade Medicinal Pill appeared, a pillar of light imbued with Saint Intent shot straight into the sky, as if it wanted to break through this small world!

The entire small world vibrated violently, as if it could no longer withstand this Saint Intent!

”Hold it for me!”

Lin Yan, seeing this scene, was directly startled.

If he were to destroy this Dan Tower because of himself, he would become a sinner of the entire Northern Border Alchemist Association!

After all, in front of Saint Intent, even Divine-Grade treasures were mere trash.

Fortunately, since this Medicinal Pill was personally refined by Lin Yan, even with the System’s help, it reached Saint Grade, it was still within Lin Yan’s control.

Finally, under Lin Yan’s suppression, the overwhelming Saint Intent instantly vanished, as if it had never appeared.

”What’s going on?!”

However, on the ninth floor of the Dan Tower, President Dan Qing, who was handling affairs, suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

That feeling was as if he would return to the western heavens in the next second!

”Could it be that some powerful being secretly visited our Alchemist Association?”

Thinking of this, Dan Qing dared not be presumptuous and immediately bowed towards the Void Realm, saying,

”May I ask which Senior has visited my Dan Tower? Please show yourself!”

However, no matter how Dan Qing called out, there was no response whatsoever.

”Is it just an illusion?”

However, compared to Dan Qing’s bewildered and puzzled state of mind, Lin Yan, who was in the third-floor small Secret Realm, was in an extremely enjoyable state.

”Not bad. I expect to be able to condense my Golden Core today and enter the Golden Core Realm!”
