Seeking the Immortal Way

The moment he walked in, a rich medicinal fragrance immediately wafted into his nose. Lin Yan was already used to this smell.

The pill room was not large, and in the middle was a black pill furnace, about the height of a person. It looked somewhat ancient, and all sorts of medicinal ingredients were placed around it.

Lin Yan wandered around among the pill furnace, and turning around, he asked Xu Jing with a smile: "Senior Sister, what pill are you refining today?"

As Xu Jing organized the materials, she said to Lin Yan, "The pill I am refining today is the Clear Frost Pill."

Xu Jing smiled patiently and said, "This Clear Frost Pill is refined from various medicinal ingredients that grow in cold, snowy mountains. Its medicinal properties are cold, and it's a type of medicinal ingredient specially used to deal with fire poison."

Lin Yan slightly nodded, and continued to ask: "Is this kind of Pills easy to refine?"

Xu Jing laughed and shook her head: "It's not easy to refine, pill furnace s are usually very hot, and all of the ingredients are covered in ice, if you are not careful, it's very possible to destroy all the spiritual medicines inside, especially the Snow Ginseng, it's very expensive, I got it from a few mediocre geniuses in the sect's underground market."

While speaking, Senior Sister Xu Jing opened up a brocade box s. Inside, there was a red cloth wrapped around and opened up the red cloth.

When Lin Yan saw this item, his eyes immediately lit up. In his eyes, this item was rich in spirit energy and was quite extraordinary.

Xu Jing had already set up the pill furnace on the other side and was preparing to refine some pills.

Seeing this, Lin Yan could not help but frown, and asked Xu Jing who was beside him: "Senior Sister, what is this thing?"

Xu Jing turned around and looked at the thing in Lin Yan's hands, then said with a smile: "This item is called the Snow Spirit Grass, and is an important supplementary ingredient in refining the Clear Frost Pill."

Hearing her words, Lin Yan thought for a moment, then said to Xu Jing: "Senior Sister, why do I feel like this item's spirit energy isn't that abundant? It seems to have been here for too long, and is probably caused by it."

Xu Jing did not pay much attention to this as she smiled and said to Lin Yan: "This is a normal occurrence. Usually, when collecting and storing medicinal ingredients, there will be a loss of spirit energy.

Lin Yan continued to shake his head. In his heart, he knew that if Senior Sister Xu Jing really used this kind of Snow Spirit Grass to refine the Clear Frost Pellet, the success rate would probably be greatly reduced.

Thinking about that, Lin Yan took the Snow Spirit Grass and said to Senior Sister Xu Jing with a frown: "Senior Sister, I feel that this matter is not that simple. When ordinary medicinal ingredients are collected and stored, they indeed consume a lot of spiritual energy, but some special materials have different storage methods, which is why they have a special effect, so I think that these Snow Spirit Grass's storage method is wrong, which is why they have lost their spirituality."

Hearing Lin Yan's words, Xu Jing took the Snow Spirit Grass and carefully examined them. She immediately frowned, and it was as Lin Yan had said, the Snow Spirit Grass had indeed lost its spirituality, and if she really used it to refine pills, the probability of failure would be very high.

When she thought of this, Xu Jing looked at Lin Yan, who was at his side, with an expression of praise. She never thought that this little fellow would be so meticulous.

Xu Jing laughed and patted Lin Yan's head, and said: "You're right, these Snow Spirit Grass are not stored properly, and have lost their spirituality. Later tonight, I will go to the underground market to find the medicine merchant to exchange, thank you!"

After she finished speaking, Xu Jing revealed a sweet smile towards Lin Yan.

Lin Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Xu Jing's smile. Lin Yan, who had never been near a woman since childhood, naturally didn't have any resistance towards a beauty like Senior Sister Xu Jing.

The two of them chatted for a bit longer before Lin Yan got up and left.

Before she left, Xu Jing had even given Lin Yan some Spirit Qi Pills. Furthermore, she instructed Lin Yan that in about three months, there would be a small competition within the sect, and she hoped that Lin Yan would work hard in his cultivation.

Lin Yan nodded and turned to leave the pill room.

During this period, Lin Yan would meet with Senior Sister Xu Jing almost every night to stroll around the sect's underground market. Relying on his Purple Void Pupil Skill, Lin Yan was able to obtain some good things to help him cultivate, although his spirit roots were ordinary, but after going through the nourishment of these genius treasures and training diligently, compared to the other senior brothers, Lin Yan's realm did not drop at all.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Hearing his master's words, all the new disciples looked at each other and discussed softly.

"I don't think I need to participate in this matter. Even if I go there, I'm still at the bottom. Although I've already entered the Foundation Establishment stage, it's almost impossible for me to get a rank in this competition."

"That's right, I heard that in the Emerald Peak, Zhao Qi had purple spirit root s as his talent is extraordinary. The Peak Master of the Emerald Peak had also expressed that he would definitely focus on nurturing him, adding in the countless elixirs, he should be at the peak of the mid stage of the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Not only him, even Lin Xiao and Yuan Zhuo, who are at the Emerald Mountain, have made a rapid progress. Right now, they are also mid stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level. I think we are probably no match for them."

In the other two peaks, Song Peng from the Spirit Void Peak is also an outstanding root bone. Right now, he is also an early stage Foundation Establishment stage Cultivation Level, just a step away from entering the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, and there's also Mu Xueyan from the Holy Maiden Peak. Not only is this woman beautiful, his root bone is also not bad.

"Yeah, from the looks of it, the other three peaks are truly filled with talents, and in this competition, our Heavenly Star Peak is probably at the bottom, adding the heavy work we have been doing, even if we delay our cultivation, even if we go, we will still not be their match."

As they chatted, they shook their heads, revealing reluctant expressions on their faces.
