Chapter 63

Lin Xuan took out a jade vial from his storage space. He had left most of his elixirs within the family, but he kept a small portion for emergencies.

Qian Xialing curiously looked at the vial Lin Xuan had taken out.

Nearby, Li Qiudao slightly opened one eye, staring intently at the jade vial in Lin Xuan’s hand, his curiosity piqued: “Could this kid really be an alchemist?”

Lin Xuan gently opened the vial, and a rich aroma of elixirs wafted out. The surrounding spiritual energy began to flow like a tide, revealing a plump, crystal-clear elixir before everyone. The elixir had four circular patterns descending from the top, and most remarkably, this crystal-like elixir emitted a faint golden glow, dazzling and brilliant. Even someone who didn’t recognize such things would know at first glance that it was extraordinary.

“Lin brother, I don’t want those fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones anymore. I’ll sponsor you an additional twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones for this elixir!”

Li Qiudao’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but let some drool escape his mouth. His eyes sparkled as one hand had somehow stealthily moved to Lin Xuan’s side.

A golden legend!

Having traveled extensively, he naturally understood what this represented!

Based on the terrifying energy fluctuations, he could ascertain that the item in front of him was definitely no lower than a fourth-grade elixir!

However, just as Li Qiudao was about to touch the elixir, a hand pressed down lightly, causing Li Qiudao to fall flat on his face, like a dog eating shit.

This scene left Qian Xialing both amused and chilled. Just how did that seemingly ordinary young man move so quickly that she couldn’t even see the shadow before the scene unfolded?

But she understood that the elixir Lin Xuan had just produced was definitely not an ordinary item, even though she had never seen an elixir radiating golden light like this.

Qian Xialing pursed her lips and asked, “Young Master Lin, may I ask about the effects of this elixir?”

Lin Xuan nodded, “This elixir is called the Seven Apertures Exquisite Elixir, but due to limited materials, it only opens four apertures.”

“Its effects include cleansing the marrow, altering innate qualities, awakening the root of wisdom, and enhancing comprehension.”

Lin Xuan’s explanation was quite plain, but these simple statements stirred up huge waves in Qian Xialing and Li Qiudao’s hearts. In martial arts cultivation, talent and comprehension are both essential; one cannot lack either.

How many geniuses rapidly progressed in the early stages but got stuck at the peak of the Qi Sea realm, unable to break through? That was due to insufficient comprehension, stuck at the last step.

Talent… without talent, even after thirty years or three hundred years, one would still be stuck in place.

If this elixir were to become known, both Li Qiudao and Qian Xialing could be certain it would lead to countless bloody storms!

“Lin… Lin brother, can we discuss something?”

Li Qiudao rubbed his hands together, his eyes reddened as he looked at Lin Xuan like a wolf eyeing its prey.

“Lin brother, I’ll offer you one hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones—one hundred thousand!”

“I want this elixir!”

Li Qiudao declared fiercely.

An elixir that can cleanse talent!

Li Qiudao knew his own cultivation talent. His current cultivation level was entirely built up by numerous opportunities and treasures; it was incomparable to those true prodigies. Now that he had a treasure capable of cleansing marrow and altering talent before him, he absolutely couldn’t let this chance slip by!

Hearing this, Lin Xuan paused for a moment, then handed over the elixir: “Then give me an additional one hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones!”

Li Qiudao: “…….”

This kid is really damn black-hearted!

Typically, a fourth-grade elixir would only be worth about ten to twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones, and now he wanted one hundred fifty thousand for this fourth-grade elixir?

“Fine.”

Without any hesitation, Li Qiudao directly took out about one hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones from his storage ring and quickly snatched the elixir from Lin Xuan’s hands, fearing that Lin Xuan would change his mind if he hesitated for even a second.

What a joke, this is a golden legend!

Qian Xialing: “…….”

Qian Xialing gazed at Lin Xuan with resentful beautiful eyes and said softly, “Young Master Lin, do you have any more of this elixir?”

“The price Xialing offers will surely satisfy you, Young Master Lin.”

Then Qian Xialing slightly leaned closer to Lin Xuan, her breath fragrant like late autumn osmanthus, filled with elegance and allure. Her delicate phoenix eyes were gentle like flowing water, and she seductively said, “Young Master Lin can have whatever he desires.”

This captivating scene was enough to make any man’s blood rush; for the sake of the elixir, Qian Xialing was ready to give her all.

However, this was a scene to watch and not take seriously. If one did, they might end up with nothing but bones left, for as the carefully nurtured heir of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, she was definitely not someone to be underestimated.

If one got carried away, they would probably just become the next backup.

Lin Xuan calmly looked at Qian Xialing, his eyes showing no ripple of emotion, as if everything were merely a fleeting beauty. He said, “There’s indeed one last elixir remaining. This one can also be given to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, but I need the Wanbao Chamber to help me with three matters.”

“Three matters?” Qian Xialing looked at Lin Xuan, who remained unmoved, her charm seemingly unable to sway even this young man.

But in the end, she agreed: “Young Master Lin, please speak. As long as it is within the capabilities of the Wanbao Chamber, we will do our utmost to fulfill it.”

“The first matter, I want a four-thousand-year-old blood ginseng.”

Qian Xialing nodded; this wasn’t too difficult, only about seventy thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

“The second matter… the items listed here need to be prepared by Miss Qian within three days.”

Lin Xuan calmly took out a jade slip from his storage space, and indeed, this thing was quite useful.

Qian Xialing took the jade slip and glanced at it briefly: “A dan furnace of at least third grade, a fourth-grade material called demon blood fruit, a third-grade material called exquisite flower…”

All combined, it amounted to about fifty to sixty thousand mid-grade spirit stones, which wasn’t too hard.

Qian Xialing nodded again; these could be prepared within a day with the power of the Wanbao Chamber.

“The third matter, I need to borrow the reputation of the Wanbao Chamber as a guarantee to invite all masters in the world to jointly attack the Chu Ling Royal Palace.”

Qian Xialing was taken aback—attack the Chu Ling Royal Palace?

“For every master killed from the Chu Ling Royal Palace, I will refine a fifth-grade elixir for them. For a Qi Sea realm expert, I will refine a fourth-grade elixir. If someone kills the Ling King, I will personally request my sect to refine a sixth-grade breakthrough elixir for them. I can guarantee that each elixir will be of superb quality.”

Lin Xuan’s voice resonated faintly.

This stunned both Qian Xialing and Li Qiudao.

Then their gazes turned intensely hot.

Fourth-grade elixir… fifth-grade elixir… sixth-grade elixir…

All they needed to do was kill!

“May I ask, what grade of alchemist is Young Master Lin now?”

Qian Xialing asked, puzzled.

“Fifth grade.”
