Chapter 79: Hospital’s Concern

“Let me see yours.”

“Let me see yours too.”

“The color is nice.”

“Yours is deeper.”

“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”

A corner of Hidden Dragon City.

Lin Jing and Xu Zhizhi met a few days later.

Seeing that Lin Jing’s Hidden Dragon Secret Technique had already cultivated to the second stage blue mark, Xu Zhizhi envied Dao: “I arrived months early and tried every means to make a name for myself, and you’ve only been here a few days? Your secret technique rank has already caught up!”

Lin Jing sighed. Dao: “In order to revitalize Sect, we have to make some efforts.”

After all, he bears some responsibility for the blocking of Secret.

“I know a little about your Sect’s situation. It’s a mixed blessing. Maybe your luck is too strong and the Sect can’t handle it,” Xu Zhizhi said wistfully.

“In short, you don’t need to worry too much! With your luck, you can definitely revitalize the Sect! Just make the most of the opportunities that follow!”

“Even the heirs of great schools, sons of Nascent Souls, descendants of Soul Transformations, and Innate spirits will not be specially recruited by the academy. But those of us who have been chosen by the Cave Heaven will be personally invited by the academy. Do you know why?”

” A Cultivator who has entered the Cave Heaven will most likely enter it a second or third time! This is an Opportunity from Immortal Realm, bigger than anything else!”

“That’s precisely why I had to kill that Snowfield cultivator, cut off the Snowfield Luck, and I myself… became infamous because of it.” — Xu Zhizhi Dao: “Therefore, Brother Lin, as long as you seize the opportunity in the future, you will surely become the restorer of the Beast Taming Sect. I, Xu Zhizhi, have never misjudged anyone!”

“Thank you for your kind words, Brother Xu.” Lin Jing remarked, “You scholars always have such pleasant-sounding words.”

Xu Zhizhi smiled gently: “Now we are friends, so let bygones be bygones. If you need any help in the future, you can come to me, Xu.”

“Finally… let me remind Brother Lin one more thing: try to stay home as much as possible these next few days, and if you do go out, be sure to disguise yourself!”

“Now that you’re famous, you’ll definitely attract the attention of people in the academy who want to use your name to their advantage!”

“Understood.” Lin Jing said, “I’m going to the library to study next. What about you, Brother Xu?”

“I’m going to find those shills I hired and get them Spirit Stone credits.” – Xu Zhizhi Dao.

…

Hidden Dragon Academy.

Inside a dark hall, there were two rows of long stone tables, on which a dozen or so white stones were neatly arranged.

Suddenly, a stone began to glow, and soon after, seven or eight other stones lit up, and several illusory figures materialized from the light.

“The admissions day, which comes around every five years, is approaching again. Who will be the chief examiner this year?” one of the figures asked.

“Let Ziwei come. He has specially recruited four students with extraordinary potential for the academy this year, and these four can assist him in the assessment.” Another figure spoke up.

“How are these four? I heard that several little monsters are being sent to the academy. Can these four keep them in check?”

“Such a good opportunity to make a name for themselves is being given to them. If they fail to seize it, it will be their own loss.”

…

After parting ways with Xu Zhizhi, Lin Jing went to the academy.

He had already memorized the entire book, with only a few pages left, and today he was determined to imprint it all in his mind.

Whether you can understand it or not is one thing, just memorize it first. Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear.

Inside the library, Lin Jing held a book in one hand to memorize it, while using the other hand to press her forehead with a spiritual technique to relieve fatigue.

True Qi was almost gone, so he took out a bottle of Spirit Replenishing Pill and put it in his mouth.

“Most of the so-called self-created Pill Formulas are not creations ‘from scratch’.”

“Most alchemists’ ‘original Pill Formula ‘ is, frankly speaking, just a ‘modified Pill Formula ‘.”

“It is built on the shoulders of predecessors, on the same Medicinal Pill, by adding Materials, reducing Materials, replacing Materials, using different flames, and using different Alchemy techniques to refine a’similar pill’.”

Lin Jing has been researching Pill Formula for several days, and it’s both difficult and easy.

If an alchemist wanted to create a ” pillar formula ” of ascension pills, so that even chickens and dogs could ingest it and experience ascension in broad daylight, that would undoubtedly be a pipe dream.

This pill is unprecedented in the Tianyuan Continent, with bizarre effects. It is something that the Lower Realm alchemist could never have created; it is an Immortal Pill.

However, if an alchemist only wants to create a “healing pill,” then it’s much simpler.

There are tens of thousands of Spiritual Plants with healing properties in the Immortal Cultivation World, so there are many different versions of healing pills circulating in the market.

Some obscure clinics in small towns dare to advertise “unique secret recipes” and “original Pill Formulas “.

Because the research and development of low-grade Medicinal Pills is indeed not difficult. Some first-grade Pill Formulas even only use one or two materials. Alchemists only need to extract their nutrients and condense them into pills.

What Lin Jing wanted was a Longevity Foundation Establishment Pill, a blood-refining technique, which wasn’t particularly difficult, but it wasn’t easy either.

It’s not difficult because the Foundation Establishment Pill is only a second-grade Medicinal Pill. Most sects have their own unique Foundation Establishment Pills tailored to their cultivation techniques, just like the Demon Dao of the Beast Taming Sect. Like the Foundation Establishment Pill, this pill has been thoroughly studied by Cultivators.

The reason it’s not considered low is that Lin Jing has only attempted to refine a Grade 1 Medicinal Pill so far, and hasn’t tried refining a Grade 2 Medicinal Pill yet. Refining a Grade 2 Medicinal Pill during the Qi Refining stage is extremely difficult; generally, only those with high-level pill refining skills can achieve this. Genius can do it.

It is said that Zi Ling’er of Dan Ding Sect succeeded in refining the most difficult special Foundation Establishment Pill among the second-grade Medicinal Pills, which is what Lin Jing needs. Therefore, she successfully made a name for herself in Hidden Dragon Academy.

However, Zi Ling’er is a cultivator of alchemy and has undergone enlightenment through Bodhi Heaven, so it’s not surprising that she has this ability. But Lin Jing herself is currently just a novice in alchemy.

“If I wanted to research a Foundation Establishment Pill specifically for myself, I certainly wouldn’t start from scratch…”

“Instead, we take the existing Pill Formula, add our own elements, and keep trying and practicing until we succeed or keep failing.”

Lin Jing has already selected a Pill Formula from a Dan book.

Grade Two Medicinal Pill, Beast Blood Pill!

It is a body-tempering medicinal pill.

The alchemical texts in the library do not record any blood refining methods, but the materials for refining beast blood pills contain the blood of various beasts.

Since it is related to blood, it became Lin Jing’s research subject.

In addition, another Pill Formula he plans to study is the most mainstream and common Foundation Establishment Pill Formula on the mainland. The Foundation Establishment Pills of each sector are basically modified from this Pill Formula.

“Now that we have Dragon Carp’s top-grade beast fire, and we need to prepare a top-grade pill cauldron, the preparations will be almost complete.”

Practice slowly, study slowly; the one thing Lin Jing has in abundance is time.

The Comprehension Ability bonus from Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is not Lin Jing’s greatest asset in researching Pill Formula; time is!

He can live for over a thousand years now, and Pine Leaf Squirrel can live for five or six hundred years, and this is only the Qi training stage.

Even Dragon Carp are relatively long-lived. Wild Dragon Carp without cultivation can live to be over a hundred years old, let alone a Dragon Carp spirit that has been awakened with a powerful Dragon vein and has reached the ninth level of cultivation!

Everyone here is an immortal being! It’s a contest of who can outlive the other to death first.

Lin Jing walked out of the library and suddenly showed a surprised expression.

He saw a middle-aged man who looked like a schoolteacher waiting for him with a smile.

“You’ve caused quite a stir in just a few days,” Mr. Cao chuckled. “It seems you’ve already mastered the rules of Hidden Dragon Academy. No wonder you’re a lucky one chosen by the Cave Heaven. Due to your outstanding performance, the academy has decided to give you a chance to make a name for yourself!”
