"If you want more spiritual medicine, you have to increase your cultivation,"
"As long as you break through to the Heavenly Human Realm, all the spiritual medicine I have can be yours."
Lin Chen spared no effort in helping Zhao Rushi increase her cultivation.
"I quit, do you think it’s that easy to enhance cultivation? Who knows how long it will take for me to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm," said Zhao Rushi, immediately expressing her opposition upon hearing Lin Chen’s request.
Although countless spiritual medicines were right before her, she could not acquire them, which left her extremely frustrated.
"Uncle Master Zhao, your cultivation has already reached the seventh level of the Reverting Void realm. Just push a little more to reach the Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm, and with the help of the Heavenly Human Pill, breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm won’t be difficult,"
Lin Chen said, rubbing his forehead, continuing to persuade Zhao Rushi.
Under his urging, Zhao Rushi’s cultivation had significantly increased compared to a year ago, almost miraculously.
However, since the main body brought back countless spiritual medicines and elixirs, Zhao Rushi fully immersed herself in research.
Lin Chen knew he couldn’t push her too hard, as not being able to practice alchemy or study elixirs would be like taking her life.
"Fine, give me twice the herbal materials, and I will do my best to increase my cultivation,"
Zhao Rushi negotiated her terms after some back and forth with Lin Chen.
Lin Chen could only compromise, taking out fifteen stalks of spiritual medicine aged one hundred thousand years, each of fifth-grade, and handed them to Zhao Rushi.
Once Zhao Rushi received the spiritual medicine, her eyes immediately sparkled with excitement.
Her previous words were just a gamble on her hope, not expecting Lin Chen to actually agree.
She wouldn’t have stopped researching those elixirs even if Lin Chen had only given her five, rather than fifteen, stalks of spiritual medicine.
"Alright, now you can leave, and don’t disturb my cultivation,"
Zhao Rushi gestured for Lin Chen to leave with a wave of her hand as she looked at him.
Of course, when she referred to cultivation, she didn’t actually mean to cultivate, but was eager to use the spiritual medicine Lin Chen had provided to refine the elixirs listed in the ancient recipes.
Those elixirs, passed down from ancient times and already lost in this world, had extraordinary efficacy and could be described as divine. If Zhao Rushi could successfully refine them, she would achieve immense satisfaction.
Hearing Zhao Rushi’s words, Lin Chen felt somewhat helpless and had no choice but to leave the alchemy room. For more chapters visıt novel_fіre.net
Since Zhao Rushi promised him, she would surely improve her cultivation, but definitely not just yet. She might wait until she had used all the spiritual medicine she had just received to begin cultivating. Only after making a breakthrough would she seek him out again.
Lin Chen didn’t bother with her. Her cultivation was already improving rapidly, and using alchemy to reinforce it was acceptable.
Moreover, Zhao Rushi’s alchemy skills were now on par with Lin Chen’s, and with the Blue Lotus Divine Flame to aid her, her alchemy had improved tremendously. Therefore, Lin Chen could temporarily set aside alchemy to concentrate on pursuing the ultimate Martial Path.
Of course, although Lin Chen had set aside alchemy for now, it did not mean he would not return to it in the future. He had never stopped practicing the Way of Formation.
Mastering the Way of Formation greatly assisted in enhancing one’s strength.
At the center of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron’s world of Lin Chen’s main body, he constantly studied the mysterious formation located at the center of the Three-legged Cauldron, seemingly grasping some understanding of it.
Lin Chen believed that once he comprehended that central formation, his cultivation and strength would leap qualitatively.
At the moment, the Lingxi Commerce Guild’s Flying Boat was still en route to Yunfei Kingdom.
Xu Fei had initially planned to personally escort Zhao Yuntian back to Cloud Sky City for Lin Chen to handle.
Zhao Yuntian’s special status meant Xu Fei couldn’t punish him, but leaving him unpunished wouldn’t appease the anger in the hearts of the Battle Eagle Squad.
However, the orders from above were for them to continue escorting the Lingxi Commerce Guild to Yunfei Kingdom, and someone else would deal with Zhao Yuntian’s matter.
Soon, members of the Dark Division arrived at the Flying Boat and explained the situation to Xu Fei.
Apparently, Lin Chen had intended for members of the Dark Division to escort Zhao Yuntian back to Cloud Sky City.
At the same time, those who were injured were also to return with them, marking the end of their escort mission.
The Battle Eagle Squad naturally wouldn’t disobey orders, but they all cast dissatisfied glances at Zhao Yuntian. If it weren’t for him, they would have been able to complete their mission successfully.
The other eleven members of the Zhao Family apprehended by the Battle Eagle Squad had to follow the Dark Division back to Cloud Sky City.
Meanwhile, Ye Mei was escorting Zhao Zhongtian, whose cultivation was sealed, back to Cloud Sky City.
A few days later, the Dark Division arrived at Cloud Sky City with Zhao Zhongtian. Zhao Lingxi, upon receiving the news immediately, went to the Flying Boat’s landing square and used the token Lin Chen had given her to take Zhao Yuntian into custody from Yu Jin.
Yu Jin, seeing the token in Zhao Lingxi’s hand, did not say much and proceeded with the handover.
He was loyal to Lin Chen, asking no questions or trying to guess Lin Chen’s intentions.
Even if Zhao Lingxi had asked Lin Chen to release Zhao Yuntian directly, he would not have objected.
Nonetheless, the wounded martial artists of the Battle Eagle Squad felt some resentment in their hearts. Realizing this, Zhao Yuntian looked at Zhao Lingxi with mixed feelings.
"Lingxi, is this really the right way to handle this?" Zhao Yuntian asked while watching his son being taken away directly by Zhao Lingxi, feeling uneasy.
In his thoughts, he wondered if the child had done something foolish, attempting to use his power and position for personal gain.
Zhao Yuntian looked at Zhao Lingxi in amazement, finding it astonishing that just with a single token, she was able to negotiate with people like Yu Jin of the Dark Division to take him in exchange. He was unaware of the high stature Zhao Lingxi had reached in the Jade Cauldron Sect.
But precisely because of this, Zhao Yuntian did not wish for Zhao Lingxi to make errors and misuse her authority because of him. He didn’t want his actions to ruin his daughter’s future, especially since the Jade Cauldron Sect held her in high regard.
"Father, rest assured, I know my limits. This token was given to me by our Lord, and he has already approved of this,"
Zhao Lingxi comforted Zhao Yuntian, reassuring him.
