Chapter 52: Chapter 51: Accelerating Spiritual Medicine, Postnatal Purity Body

Lin Chen took out a book titled “Array Explanation” and leaned against a corner to read it.

It seemed like he was casually browsing, but the time he spent on each page was just right.

A thin array secret manual, with dozens of pages, was fully recorded in no time.

Lin Chen occasionally showed a thoughtful expression, sometimes a slight frown.

Finally, he put the array secret book back in its place and picked another one.

To others, he appeared to be reading casually, without any flaw.

Indeed, Lin Chen’s purpose for coming to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion this time was not only to find methods for himself but also to seek suitable cultivation manuals for the nation.

Cultivation techniques, magical techniques, divine techniques, pill array artifact talisman secrets… Lin Chen wanted them all!

Before, Lin Chen relied on handwriting and could only bring back a few cultivation methods at a time, which was too slow.

Therefore, after upgrading the equipment, Lin Chen decided to record many cultivation methods at once to bring them back.

Even though Lin Chen might not have time to learn these manuals.

But the Great Xia Country has many talented people, and high-intelligence scholars are not scarce.

Once spiritual energy is introduced, this batch of cultivation methods… will become the nation’s most precious foundation and wealth.

Thus, Lin Chen stayed in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion for several hours.

Recording over a hundred cultivation methods at a pace of flipping through one every few minutes.

Until the afternoon, Lin Chen stopped at an appropriate time.

He symbolically selected two volumes of manuals to borrow.

“In the Changchun Sect, privately recording cultivation methods might be suspected of theft, which would be punished…”

“Although the nano camera doesn’t have any magical treasure fluctuations, it’s still necessary to act cautiously.”

Lin Chen took the chance to register and leave while the elder in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion hadn’t noticed him.

…

After Lin Chen left, a figure emerged from the corner.

This person was none other than Li Zhenqian.

Li Zhenqian’s face showed a fanatical expression, mumbling to himself:

“Lin Chen, he delves into such a wide range? Just now… what cultivation methods did he look at?”

“He’s my biggest rival to win the sect’s grand competition, I must understand my enemy!”

Having said that, Li Zhenqian continued to search through the shelves, looking for the secret manuals Lin Chen had read.

From pill arrays and artifact talismans to magical techniques, Li Zhenqian kept reading until twilight.

Reading until he felt dizzy, as an Array Peak disciple, reading array manuals was acceptable, but reading pill array manuals was a bit challenging for him.

Yet, he gritted his teeth and read desperately, with only one thought in mind.

“I must be more diligent and outstanding than Lin Chen! The manuals he read… I must read them all!”

Thus, the Cultivation Technique Pavilion gained a somewhat obsessed Array Peak disciple…

…

Lin Chen was unaware of Li Zhenqian’s actions. After returning to the Pill Peak, he went about his cultivation as usual.

Early the next morning, Lin Chen followed his master to the spirit field to accelerate the maturity of spirit plants.

As for the second senior brother… a few days ago, he used the sect’s tasks as an excuse to go on a journey.

Standing in the middle of the spirit field, Lin Chen slightly closed his eyes, carefully sensing the plant spirits between heaven and earth.

Before long, in his spiritual perception, several lively plant spirits appeared around him.

Lin Chen circulated his magical power, dividing the wood element True Essence into several parts to feed those plant spirits.

After the plant spirits had their fill, they settled on various spiritual medicines.

Soon, the growth cycle of the spiritual medicines was greatly reduced.

After finishing all this, Lin Chen took out a Spirit Stone to restore his magical power.

Han Jihai quietly watched this scene, nodding frequently and saying:

“Chen’Er, your mastery of the plant spirits is becoming more proficient…”

“Once your cultivation deepens, you might not need a month to accelerate three years’ worth of spiritual medicine.”

Han Jihai looked at Lin Chen before him, growing more and more satisfied.

High aptitude, good character, and most importantly, willing to inherit the Pill Peak’s legacy.

Just then, a still-drunk Miko from the previous night stumbled over.

Holding a wine gourd in her hand, she told Han Jihai:

“Old man, there’s no wine on the mountain… lend me some Spirit Stones, I’ll go down the mountain to buy some…”

Miko finished and extended a small hand, puckered her lips, waiting for Han Jihai to give her money.

Han Jihai nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood, his eyes filled a bit more with resentment.

“Sigh, what sin did I commit in my past life to take in such a freeloading disciple!”

Though scolding with his words, Han Jihai still took out a small pouch of Spirit Stones and handed it over.

“Spend it sparingly! Lately, your master is also short on cash…”

Before he finished speaking, Miko took the Spirit Stones.

Arriving at the clearing, she powered her magical power, and the palm-sized wine gourd turned into a gigantic flying magical artifact.

She leaped onto the gourd and headed down the mountain to the marketplace.

“Sigh…”

Han Jihai sighed, then turned to look at Lin Chen again, feeling more affectionate.

“Chen’Er, you must not become like your senior brother and sister in the future…”

Lin Chen blinked and nodded, saying:

“Master, don’t worry… I’ll revitalize the Pill Peak!”

Lin Chen’s tone was firm, and Han Jihai felt even more moved upon hearing it.

At this moment, Lin Chen timely asked:

“Master, a few days ago I went down the mountain to the marketplace and discovered that the sect’s various peaks have businesses in the marketplace.”

“Only our Pill Peak, we haven’t even set up a single pill shop, and all the pill shops in the marketplace are occupied by loose cultivators… why is this?”

Upon hearing this, Han Jihai’s face showed more concern.

“Sigh, it’s my fault. Years ago, our Pill Peak did have a shop in the marketplace… but later I failed at Core Formation, exhausted decades of savings, and with age, lost the desire to manage it.”

“Look at your senior brother and sister, neither has the mind to open a pill shop… Eventually, all the pill shops in the marketplace were taken by loose cultivators.”

“Over the years, your master’s alchemy to supply the sect’s needs has become challenging!”

Lin Chen nodded understandingly.

Although Han Jihai was good at alchemy, he was the only one who could do alchemy at Pill Peak, with the senior sister barely counting as half.

With just one and a half people, it’s far from enough to meet the sect’s demand for pills. The Changchun Sect likely still has to procure some pills from the marketplace down the mountain.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen also shared his thoughts.

“Master, once I learn a few more alchemy methods… I’d like to open a pill shop in the marketplace down the mountain.”

“First, it can restore our Pill Peak’s status, and second, it can support my own cultivation…”

Han Jihai felt moved upon hearing this.

“Chen’Er, it’s rare for you to have such a thought! But the marketplace is a deep pond, with your current shallow cultivation, I’m afraid you cannot handle it…”

“Once you breakthrough to a mid-stage Qi Refining, your master will support you further!”

As he spoke, Han Jihai lightly stroked his long beard and added:

“Your master still has some connections and resources within the sect, opening a shop… should not be a problem!”

Lin Chen felt slightly glad after hearing this, having his master’s support made the prospect of opening a pill shop much smoother.

Han Jihai was in a good mood and then said to Lin Chen:

“Chen’Er, you have nearly mastered the refining of Qi Blood Pills and Qi Nourishing Pills…”

“Coincidentally, the Bone Marrow Cleansing Flower ripened a couple of days ago. I’ll start the furnace to refine a few bottles. Stay close and learn well.”

…

Moments later, at the Earth Fire Alchemy Room at the foot of Danfeng Mountain.

Han Jihai activated his True Essence, putting the Bone Marrow Cleansing Flower and several spiritual medicines into the Pill Furnace.

He refined the pills while explaining the method to Lin Chen for refining the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

“The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, also a first-tier pill, is much more difficult to refine than the Qi Blood Pill and Qi Nourishing Pill…”

“This pill has the effects of essence strengthening and enhancing physical constitution… If taken multiple times, it can achieve the Postnatal Purity Body that mundane martial artists dream of.”

“Achieving the Postnatal Purity Body allows rapid progress in martial paths, adding thousands of pounds of strength.”
