……
The other side.
On the way down the mountain.
Lin Yun glanced back at the outline of the Ice Spirit Palace.
“Just like that, gone?”Lin Yun muttered.
For some reason, Lin Yun had an empty feeling in his heart, as if there was something missing around him.
At the same time, in Lin Yun’s mind, he couldn’t help but conjure up the Palace Master’s beautiful silhouette, and her cold, icy, magnificent face.
“Lin Yun, what are you rambling about!”
“The most urgent thing to do is to raise your strength!”
Lin Yun patted his head and threw away his mixed thoughts.
After travelling all the way down the mountain, Lin Yun returned directly to Jindu in Xichuan Province.
On the outskirts of Jindu, at a certain mountain cliff.
Lin Yun stood at the top of the cliff.
Here, it was exactly where Lin Yun had fallen off the cliff in the first place.
A year ago, it was in the cave under the cliff that Lin Yun had received the inheritance of the Xuanmei Sword Venerable, and from then on, he had leapt the Dragon Gate with a carp and completely transformed!
If Lin Yun didn’t have the identity of a cultivator and an alchemist, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to go this far.
Lin Yun still clearly remembered the scene where Ye Rulong led the Murong family experts and chased himself to the edge of the cliff.
Now, almost a year had passed.
Lin Yun had also completed his metamorphosis, and the dragon was swimming in the four seas!
“It’s time to go down, to see master teacher.”
After Lin Yun finished speaking, he headed down the cliff.
Because Lin Yun hadn’t reached YuanYing yet, he couldn’t fly through the air and could only go down by climbing.
However, Lin Yun’s speed was fast, as nimble and athletic as a gecko.
It didn’t take long for Lin Yun to regain the bottom of the valley before entering the Xuanmei Sword Venerable’s burial chamber.
The coffin of the Xuanmei Sword Exalt was still placed there, and a layer of ash had been covered on top of it.
“Master, my disciple has returned to see you!”
Lin Yun walked over to the coffin and ‘dun dun dun’ kowtowed three times.
To Lin Yun, Swordfather Xuanmei had done himself a great favour.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yun revolved his internal energy and waved his hand violently.
Boom!
The dust on the coffin was instantly cleared away.
“Master, for the next period of time, my disciple is here with you.”Lin Yun said.
Immediately after, Lin Yun sat down with his legs crossed, took out the Black Fury Stone, and began to refine it.
For the next 14 days, Lin Yun was in a state of cultivation almost 20 hours a day, refining this Black Fury Stone.
After fourteen days of sleepless seclusion, the remaining Black Fury Stones were all refined by Lin Yun.
Lin Yun’s realm had also successfully reached the middle Jindan stage.
The next step was Jindan Perfection.
“Whew…… time can be so fast.”
Looking at the pile of Black Fury Stones in front of him that had become scrap, Lin Yun couldn’t help but sigh.
Within this chamber, it was impossible to tell day from night.
Cultivating day and night like this, Lin Yun couldn’t feel the passage of time in the slightest.
If it wasn’t for the date displayed on his watch, Lin Yun couldn’t believe that 14 days had passed, as if only two or three days had passed.
It was frighteningly quiet here, so cultivation wouldn’t be disturbed in the slightest.
This was also why, cultivators liked to burrow in deep mountains and old forests, for one thing, deep mountains and old forests were full of spiritual qi, and secondly, deep mountains and old forests were particularly quiet and not disturbed by the outside world in the slightest.
Immediately after, Lin Yun stood up and moved around, his body was full of internal energy and boundless vitality.
Immediately after, Lin Yun felt his power.
“From early to mid Jindan, my strength has increased a bit, not bad.”Lin Yun nodded in satisfaction.
“If I can get another 4,000 spirit stones, I have full confidence that I’ll reach Jindan Perfection!”Lin Yun muttered.
Only, 4000 spirit stones were not easy to get.
Normally, a slightly wealthy ancient sect would only have over 2,000 spirit stones.
Trying to get 4000 spirit stones was definitely a tricky thing.
Immediately after, Lin Yun checked the inventory of supplies within his storage ring.
There were already very few intermediate level pills.
After all, what was left behind by his master at the time was not much, the vast majority of his things were left behind in his side of the world, and when his master fought with the enemy, magic weapons and many good things were consumed and damaged during the battle.
Back then, in the Shalai Ruins, he obtained one Extreme Grade Weapon, two High Grade Weapons, and more than a dozen Intermediate Grade Weapons (there were no Low Grade Weapons, the owner of the Ruins did not care to collect Low Grade Weapons).
Among them, an extremely high-grade weapon and high-grade weapon that Lin Yun had given to White Shark and Lone Wolf.
There was also a high-level weapon that had been used up in the last auction to grab the armour pieces.
The only things left were intermediate weapons, and after this period of time, there were only 4 intermediate weapons left.
Without much to offer in exchange, I’m afraid that if I want to get spirit stones, I’ll have to put in some effort to do so.
Next, it was time to talk about impacting the Advanced Alchemist.
Once Lin Yun reached Senior Alchemist and was able to make a Senior Pill, a Senior Pill taken out would definitely be able to be exchanged for quite a few Spirit Stones.
This time, Lin Yun had prepared a total of 9 high-grade medicinal herbs for the impact of a high-grade alchemist, so he was considered well-prepared.
“Time to go out.”
Lin Yun stood up.
In addition to needing high-grade medicinal herbs to refine high-grade pills, they also needed to be supplemented with some intermediate-grade medicinal herbs.
Lin Yun didn’t have enough intermediate herbs right now, so he still had to go get some intermediate herbs before he could start refining.
Lin Yun once again paid homage to his master before launching out of the burial chamber.
After coming out from the bottom of the cliff, Lin Yun first went back to the Golden Capital and visited Grandpa, Cousin, Tooth, Zhao Ling, and Jiang Jingwen.
Immediately after that, Lin Yun went back to Qingyang City for a day to drink with Fatty and accompany his mother and Wang Xue.
The next day, Lin Yun set off and travelled to the ancient town of Qingyang, preparing to obtain intermediate level medicinal herbs there.
After all, it was the largest trading market in the cultivation world, and it wasn’t good to get high-level medicinal herbs, but intermediate-level medicinal herbs, it still wasn’t difficult.
At noon, Lin Yun arrived at the Qingyang Ancient Town.
Before he came, Lin Yun had contacted Elder Jing at the auction, telling him that he was coming and asking him to prepare intermediate level pills for himself in advance.
When Lin Yun arrived at the auction, Elder Jing was already at the entrance to the auction, waiting for Lin Yun.
“Fellow Daoist Lin, I haven’t seen you for a while, you’re still in high spirits.”Elder Jing said with a smile.
“Elder Jing, is everything I want prepared?”Lin Yun opened the door.
“Of course it’s ready, there are a total of 18 intermediate level medicinal herbs prepared for Fellow Daoist Lin.”Elder Jing said with a smile.
“How much in total.”Lin Yun opened his mouth to enquire.
“A total of 1700 spirit stones.”Elder Jing said with a smile.
For Jing Lao, this was already a big deal for the entire auction.
The price of a single intermediate herb was around 80-100 spirit stones, which wasn’t particularly expensive, but 18 of them added up to be more expensive.
“1700 spirit stones?”Lin Yun revealed a bitter smile.
This wasn’t a small amount for Lin Yun, I’m afraid that the entire White Cloud Sect’s spirit stone storage was only this much.
Moreover, Lin Yun’s supplies had been depleting all the time, they were getting smaller and smaller.
