Chapter 339: This Crystal Pill... Why Isn't It a Pill?
However, when Fa Ma looked at the second-grade Crystal Pill in his hand and then glanced at the large group of people sitting harmoniously in various places around him, refining the Crystal Pill in their stomachs, his expression became weird again: "Why isn't this Crystal Pill actually a pill?"
On the entire Yunlan Mountain, there were nearly two thousand people. Jiang Lin had essentially emptied out nearly half of his recent batch of inventory, and with his vast wealth, he directly gave each person a second-grade Crystal Pill. Of course, Jiang Lin could have given first-grade Crystal Pills, but those were more useful for Dou Qi apprentices. Since most of the people on Yunlan Mountain were at least Dou Masters or above, only second-grade Crystal Pills would have the desired impact.
"Brother Lin, you said the principle of this Crystal Pill is that it's like a temporary automatic cultivation device. So, could it be used with a different cultivation method? For example, to automatically cultivate Dou Qi 24/7?" Xiao Yan, after helping Jiang Lin distribute the Crystal Pills to others and making his formal debut in front of the various forces of the Gama Empire, returned to Jiang Lin's side, looked at the second-grade Crystal Pill in his hand, and asked curiously.
"Do you think I don't want to?" Jiang Lin shook his head, then said as he walked toward the Yunlan Hall with Xiao Yan. "If it were possible, I would also want to make a device that can automatically cultivate. But the reality is, we can't do that yet."
"The core of the Crystal Pill is the special body-tempering effect of the red-gold Dou Qi. The technique is secondary. Real gold doesn't fear fire tempering, and fire-gold Dou Qi has a refining effect, just like fire-wood Dou Qi activates the vitality. Without fire-gold Dou Qi, the Crystal Pill wouldn't work at all. It wouldn't even have any effect."
Xiao Yan: "..."
What a bunch of nonsense!
"But I've been thinking, experimenting with different attributes of Dou Qi combinations. This step is very difficult for other weapon refiners, but I'm a bit special. I can try various combinations of Dou Qi. Maybe one day, I can make a self-cultivating weapon, just like the magical cores of beasts, where you can cultivate even while sleeping. I've been working on this kind of thing. Hai Bo Dong still owes me an experiment."
The automatic cultivation weapon that Xiao Yan mentioned had already been considered by Jiang Lin, and he had come to some conclusions. This automatic cultivation weapon would definitely need to be based on the crystal core. The key to the beast's automatic cultivation ability was that their living cores could automatically absorb the energy of heaven and earth. Jiang Lin needed to understand why the magical core could automatically cultivate Dou Qi and apply that principle to the crystal core. After that, everyone on Dou Qi Continent would have to bow down to Jiang Lin!
Beastmen: "Pfft!"
"Alright, Brother Lin, so what are we going to do?" Xiao Yan was slightly excited upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Jiang Lin to actually be thinking about making an automatic cultivation system! From Jiang Lin's tone, it seemed like he had already figured out the core principles of it! As for the crystal core, if all goes well, Xiao Yan felt that he would be the first to try it out!
Xiao Yan was now extremely glad that he had only eaten one of the three-patterned Qingling Pills he had made and gave the rest to Jiang Lin. Otherwise, if he had eaten another one, his cultivation would have already surpassed that of Nalan Yanran by the time of the final showdown! The three-patterned Qingling Pills were great, but Xiao Yan was still a two-star Great Dou Master. Even before reaching the nine-star Great Dou Master stage, he could slowly look for materials and continue refining. But for Jiang Lin, his "flowering period" as a Great Dou Master had already passed, and there was no time left to waste!
Now, if he didn't invest, it would be too late.
"We're going to meet someone. You've made quite a scene at Yunlan Sect, so not visiting the master here would be a bit disrespectful." Under the awe-filled gazes of the Yunlan Sect disciples and elders, Jiang Lin led Xiao Yan into the Yunlan Hall.
"Are we meeting Yun Zhi, Yun Yun, the Sect Master?" Xiao Yan was also very surprised. He didn't expect that the Yun Zhi he had met in the Monster Mountain Range and in the desert was actually the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect.
"No, we're meeting the real master of this place." As they walked into the empty Yunlan Hall, Xiao Yan's gaze was instinctively drawn to a young man dressed in white with silver hair, standing beside Yun Yun, exuding a calm aura.
"Be careful. Yunlan Sect actually... has a Dou Zong." The voice of Yaoshen, coming from the back of the Xuanhuo Heavy Staff, was grave. He was strong enough to face a Dou Huang, excluding Yun Yun, but facing a Dou Zong... that would be dangerous.
"Dou Zong?!" Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and at that moment, he realized who the real master of Yunlan Sect, whom Jiang Lin had mentioned, was! The Old Sect Master of Yunlan Sect! Yun Shan!
"Your Crystal Pill is neither a pill nor a weapon, but it has such wonderful uses; it could be called a masterpiece!" The white-haired young man, who had been playing with a Crystal Pill in his hand with his back turned to them, heard the commotion behind him. He turned slightly, smiled, and revealed a gentle and handsome profile to Jiang Lin and Xiao Yan.
"Younger generation Jiang Lin, greetings, senior." Jiang Lin cupped his hands and bowed.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly followed suit, cupping his hands, and said, "Younger generation Xiao Yan, greetings, senior."
"No need for such formalities. Matters between the younger generation should be settled by themselves. Xiao Yan, was it? Your performance in battle was quite impressive," Yun Shan, now in his true form, smiled slightly at the two young men in front of him and also praised Xiao Yan's combat performance.
"As for Jiang Lin, although you did disturb the Yunlan Sect's protective formation in the middle of the night, I'll forgive you since this is your first offense. I won't hold anything else against you. Now, tell me your thoughts on cooperation? During the years I've been in seclusion, Yunlan Sect has indeed become quite corrupt internally, so it's time to clean things up. But as the saying goes, you must first give a blow and then offer a sweet date. Yunlan Sect is big, and to feed the whole sect, we need sufficient resources."
When facing Jiang Lin, Yun Shan's tone was a bit more serious, but it still had the air of an elder speaking to a junior.
At this moment, Yun Yun, who had been silent, looked at Jiang Lin in surprise. She had never known that Jiang Lin had secretly tampered with the Yunlan Sect's protective formation in the middle of the night. But when she thought about it, if Jiang Lin hadn't figured out a way to bypass the formation, he wouldn't have been able to land directly on Yunlan Sect.
"Regarding the specifics of the cooperation, I'm not really skilled in this area. I think senior should call in Fa Ma and Jia Xingtian, and the others, to discuss it together. The only thing I can tell you is that Crystal Pills are consumable, low in cost, and have high demand."
