109: Chapter 107 Samadhi True Fire and Pill Furnace 109: Chapter 107 Samadhi True Fire and Pill Furnace Cultivation ascended to another small realm, and Lin Tian was in a great mood.
As long as there were sufficient resources, with the Nine-Turned Three Life Technique and previous life’s cultivation experience, even the biggest bottlenecks could not pose much hindrance.
What thrilled Lin Tian even more was that his main cultivation technique, the Nine-Turned Three Life Technique, had stepped into the Three-Life Three-Stage First-rank Second Transition, reaching the Second Transition, his cultivation True Essence within his body had become four times more vigorous than at the third layer.
A four times increase in cultivation growth meant that now, many spells and combat skills he deployed would have doubled in power!
Elated, Lin Tian did not stop cultivating, instead he started preparing medicine liquid and immersed himself in cultivation; besides solidifying his current cultivation level, he aimed for a leap to raise his cultivation even higher.
In the basement of the villa, he had used less than a tenth of those precious medicinal materials.
Preparation, cultivation, preparation, cultivation…
the entire night, Lin Tian was engrossed in cultivation.
Only when his cultivation was firmly consolidated at the Fourth Level of Qi Refining Initial Stage did he rise and return to the Minghu Lakefront.
For the whole half month that followed, whenever Lin Tian had spare time from classes and the two campus beauties had no special instructions or tasks, he would go to Guanlan Lake to cultivate.
The issue involving the long-distance running bet and Yu Tong getting a hotel room also gradually settled down at the school.
Yu Tong had even come to find Lin Tian several times, hoping he would treat her grandfather.
But Lin Tian, busy with improving his cultivation, postponed it; after all, an increase in cultivation meant a better assurance in treating Yu Tong’s grandfather.
As for Loo Wei, throughout the half month, he kept his tail between his legs, avoiding Lin Tian whenever he saw him.
Whether the opponent still harbored thoughts of revenge, Lin Tian did not concern himself; he would not let this person off easily.
But for now, everything else was temporarily set aside; all of Lin Tian’s energy went into cultivation.
When half of the medicinal herbs in the villa’s basement had been used, Lin Tian’s cultivation had already reached the Peak of the Fourth Level of Qi Refining, just a step away from entering the Fifth Level.
Compared to the speed of cultivation in his previous life, the improvement of Lin Tian’s cultivation now could be described as extremely slow, but on this Earth where Spiritual Energy was sparse, it was considered very fast.
Having reached the Peak of the Fourth Level of Qi Refining, Lin Tian temporarily halted his cultivation, planning to go out and practice various spells and combat skills.
Now that his cultivation had improved, the Immortal Martial combat skills he mainly used, the Sky Embracing Hammer and Sky-reaching Fist, would be extremely powerful when deployed.
However, just as Lin Tian reached an open area on Lake Island and started circulating his True Qi, an extremely fiery breath surged from his Dantian along his meridians, reaching his palm.
A firework made up of gold, white, and blue flames ascended and danced in his palm.
Lin Tian stared blankly at the flame appearing in his palm, took a while to regain his senses, and couldn’t help but exclaim loudly.
How could this happen?
I didn’t deliberately cultivate the True Fire Meridian at all, how did I cultivate the Samadhi True Fire?
After a while, a still somewhat bewildered Lin Tian calmed down.
Samadhi True Fire was a divine skill that cultivators condensed by tapping their body’s potential.
It belonged to the innate divine powers within the human body.
It was weaker than true Secret Method Divine Power and also much weaker than the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, but stronger than any natural flame.
Most importantly, Samadhi True Fire was the first step of tapping into the True Fire Meridian within a cultivator’s body.
After completely opening the True Fire Meridian, one could condense the True Fire Divine Palace, which, combined with appropriate combat techniques, could subjugate the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire for one’s own use.
However, completely opening the mysterious True Fire Meridian required tremendous opportunities and luck.
In his previous life, when Lin Tian had become the Immortal Venerable, he had only forcefully opened it and captured a low-level Spiritual Fire.
Nevertheless, even if unable to completely open the True Fire Meridian, Lin Tian was already satisfied, for most cultivators generally began cultivating the Samadhi True Fire only after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage or even the Golden Core Stage.
As his cultivation increased, the power of the Samadhi True Fire would gradually enhance, proving incredibly sharp in battle.
Yet now, the Samadhi True Fire in Lin Tian’s palm was still very weak, but Lin Tian was already wildly ecstatic because he now had an idea for the fire source to use in alchemy.
There was still half of the medicinal materials left in the villa’s basement, and Lin Tian already had plans in mind.
It was already nightfall, Lin Tian stopped his cultivation and hurried back to the Minghu Lakefront.
The next day at noon, after school, having sent Xu Tangge and Tang Qianqian home, Lin Tian headed alone to the famous antique market in Bin City.
He needed to buy a pill furnace!
The antique market was only a street away from University City, making it extremely busy on a regular day.
It wasn’t just because many students, due to their love of collecting, would come here hoping to find treasures, but also because the antique market was enormous, encompassing several pedestrian streets filled with a plethora of shops and stalls, naturally attracting many students for part-time work.
It wasn’t a weekend, yet the place was bustling in the middle of the day.
Lin Tian walked down the antique street, looking at the various antique shops and the messily arranged stalls on both sides, his face carrying a sense of novelty, yet everything before him also gave him a sense of déjà vu.
After browsing for a while, Lin Tian chose a larger shop and walked in.
Inside, various antiques were displayed.
Lin Tian looked around and planned to call a server over to check out the pill furnaces available here.
However, at that moment, he noticed a child at the counter bargaining with the shop owner.
The child, looking to be only about fourteen or fifteen years old—dressed in blue jeans, a loose white T-shirt, and wearing a baseball cap—was hard to distinguish as a girl or a boy.
What caught Lin Tian’s attention, however, was not the person but the blackish pill furnace and a scroll they were holding.
The pill furnace and the scroll were no ordinary items!
Seeing the coarse material of the pill furnace, Lin Tian could feel a faint aura of spiritual energy emanating from it even from a distance.
The vibration was very faint, but Lin Tian still sensed it.
As for the scroll, it exuded a kind of aura only found on cultivators.
“Kid, these two items of yours, they’ve got some age, but this pill furnace is very ordinary, poorly crafted too.
I’ll give you five thousand for it, and for the scroll, ten thousand.
That’s the highest price I can offer for both items!”
The shop owner, a portly man in his forties or fifties wearing gold-rimmed glasses, had a pair of shrewd eyes that revealed a somewhat shady character.
He shook his head as he spoke to the child opposite him.
Clearly, the child was trying to sell the pill furnace and the scroll.
“Boss, six thousand for the pill furnace, fourteen thousand for the scroll.
Let’s round it to a whole number, can we?”
The child’s voice was pleasant, crisp and extremely captivating.
Curious, Lin Tian couldn’t help but approach, and soon smelled a faint body fragrance that usually belonged to a girl.
Judging by her attire and the handsome features on her face, it was hard for anyone to discern her gender.
What shocked Lin Tian was that as he approached, he could sense a vibration of True Qi on the girl.
It was very weak, the kind you find when someone just stepped into the first level of Qi Refining.
But it was indeed True Qi!
This girl was a cultivator!
Lin Tian’s gaze became intense as he watched the girl, his mind racing.
Both items for twenty thousand!”
The shop owner readily agreed, paid the girl, and took the pill furnace and the scroll.
Seizing the moment, Lin Tian stepped forward and asked, “How much for this pill furnace and scroll?”
The girl in the baseball cap, who was about to leave after selling her items, stopped in her tracks and turned to Lin Tian.
The girl had large, clear eyes that were ethereal.
Looking at Lin Tian, her beautiful eyes carried a mix of astonishment and confusion, because the slightly older youth in front of her had a familiar yet enticing aura.
“Pill furnace for sixty thousand, scroll for one hundred and twenty thousand!
Both together for two hundred thousand!”
The shop owner glanced at the girl who hadn’t left and stretched out two fingers toward Lin Tian without concern.
“What, how can you do this?
This is simply profiteering!”
The girl in the baseball cap’s eyes instantly widened, furious as she exclaimed.
