Chapter 137 - 101: Kill Evil Spirits Task_l
Throughout the past half year’s cultivation, besides breakthroughs in alchemy, the Thunder Spell has also reached the grandmaster level, sprinting towards great perfection.
As for the Flame Flying Fire, it still remains at the grandmaster level. His daily cultivation schedule has been packed, and except for occasional releases as treats for Fire Feather, he had no time to practice.
Due to continuous alchemy and repeated failures, he had gained plenty of experience from the title [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes], bringing him closer to the third level.
Once upgraded, the effective duration of his enlightenment opportunities will probably also double from three to six days.
In this way, the time needed to break through some bottlenecks will be shortened.
Lin Yi looked at the titles he had obtained, and apart from [Alchemy Novice], only [Meaningless Fight and Kill] and [Lose the big for want of the small] had yet to reach the third level.
These two are special titles, unlike other titles, they can’t be upgraded just by some daily activities but require performing specific tasks to gain experience points.
Although he hadn’t reached the third level yet, his experience points were already around halfway there. He considered establishing his foundation first. Once the foundation building was complete, there would be plenty of time for him to upgrade his titles.
Lin Yi slowly stepped out of his closed-door cultivation cave mansion, looking at the ten acres of Spirit Grass blossom white flowers in the medicinal field in front of the door, which were incredibly beautiful.
It had been growing for more than a year, and it was time for harvest.
He picked a Spirit Grass and put it in his mouth, feeling the medicinal properties within. It was indeed much more potent than ordinary Spirit Grass. Judging from the medicinal properties and growth status, it exceeded the qualification standard for refining the Foundation Building Pill.
This is a Spirit Grass specifically used to neutralize medicinal properties. Among all the ingredients in the Foundation Building Pill, it is the least conspicuous but indispensable.
Lin Yi used the Earth-Shaking Technique to shake out the ten acres of Spirit
Grass from the ground; he then used the Object Manipulation Spell to put
them all into the Storage Bag.
After reaching the Complete Ninth Stage of Qi Refining, he found that the speed of basic spell improvement had increased significantly, and the bottleneck had become much smaller, which could be broken through with one or two opportunities for enlightenment.
So, this Earth-Shaking Technique, he practiced a bit in his spare time, has now reached the grandmaster level.
After arriving at the Pill Hall, Lin Yi took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, activated it, said a few words, then sent it flying straight behind the Pill Hall.
After a while, he saw Wu Tian Zhang come out hastily. Lin Yi noticed that Wu Tian Zhang, even after more than a year, remained at the Complete Ninth Stage of Qi Refining, showing no sign of breakthrough.
In his heart, he aroused an idea to work even harder on his cultivation. Having the Golden Finger that could break through bottlenecks swiftly, it would be sheer waste not to cultivate.
“Ahem, Junior Brother Lin, you’re here. Time flies. More than a year has passed already,” Wu Tian Zhang saw Lin Yi and coughed out these words.
Lin Yi naturally felt that something was off with Wu Tian Zhang. He seemingly guessed something but did not mind, smiling and said, “Indeed, Elder Brother Wu, the path of cultivation is like the passage of time. These are the Spirit Grass I harvested. Please inspect them.”
Then he took out over ten Spirit Grass from his Storage Bag and handed them to Wu Tian Zhang.
When Wu Tian Zhang saw these beautiful white flowers, his eyes lit up because half of the medicinal properties of the Spirit Grass lies in the flowers. The whiter the color, the higher the quality.
And the flowers of the Spirit Grass grown by Lin Yi were visibly whiter than the ordinary. He weighed it with his hand, used the Cleaning Technique to wash it, and put a Spirit Grass into his mouth.
Feeling its medicinal properties, he said in surprise, “Junior Brother Lin, you’re indeed a master at farming. The medicinal properties of this Spirit Grass have increased by as much as 30 percent.”
“Thank you for your praise, Elder Brother Wu, all I know is farming,” Lin Yi responded gratefully with a laugh.
At this time, Wu Tian Zhang looked at the Spirit Grass in his hands, and there was something he seemed to want to express but didn’t know how to.
“Elder Brother Wu, if there’s anything you want to say, just go ahead. We don’t need to stand on ceremony with each other,” Lin Yi said, seeing Wu Tian Zhangs behavior. He figured that being a helper in the Pill Hall probably wouldn’t work out.
Wu Tian Zhang hesitated for a moment and finally sighed, “Junior Brother
Lin, it’s just that I lack ability. The Pill Hall is such a big place, and the manpower it needs is limited.”
“Before, we were short of a position to help look after the fire and prepare Spirit Grass, and I had mentioned it to the Elder of the Pill Hall.”
“However, not long ago, the elder arranged for a disciple to join. It is said that he was recommended by another Pill Master and has certain alchemy experience, coming from a somewhat famous cultivation family.”
Saying this, he looked at the Spirit Grass in his hand again and suddenly said, “But, with the superior quality of your Spirit Grass, I must consult the Elder of the Pill Hall again to give you a chance.”
Lin Yi swiftly raised his hand and shook his head, “Thank you, Elder Brother Wu, but there’s no need. The decision of Elder of Pill Hall is indeed correct. After all, I don’t have much alchemy experience, so I’d better practice slowly on my own.”
He now had successfully obtained the alchemy title, and his skills were already displayed on the panel. There was no longer any need to serve as an assistant in the Pill Hall..
