Celestial Cyan Business Street.
A blue-robed youth at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishnt looked at the pill pavilion in the corner with a sign saying "Naless", feeling puzzled.
"Father, you an here?"
"This newly opened pill pavilion chose a corner with such poor traffic, it doesn’t seem like it would have anything good."
"What do you know? In my lifeti, I was a fifth-grade Alchemist and a Nascent Soul Powerhouse. Although I am now just a remnant soul, based on past experiences, I guarantee that this pavilion must house extrely special pills..."
"If my judgnt is not wrong, these pills... will be very useful to you. However, for the specifics, you need to go in and see for yourself."
The blue-robed youth stood at the street corner, with no one else around him, communicating with a remnant soul within him.
"I understand, father."
Hearing his father say so, the youth nodded and stepped into the "Naless Pill Pavilion."
Inside, he found the pill pavilion simply arranged, and the owner didn’t seem to be an experienced Alchemist either...
But rather a young man leisurely reading a miscellaneous book while sitting in a rocking wooden chair...
Whose cultivation wasn’t much higher than his.
This person was Lin Jing.
Lin Jing glanced at the first custor who entered, showing a look of surprise, but then continued reading, without any intention to greet him.
He wasn’t reading a miscellaneous book, but a book about Qingzhou nad "Gazette of Qingzhou", during his ti in the Ancient Country, though he had read many books, they mostly concerned the Ancient Country.
Now having co to a new place, naturally, he needed to catch up on local knowledge.
Including distribution of forces, dangerous zones, exotic flora and fauna...
"Go there." Under the guidance of the remnant soul within, the blue-robed youth imdiately went to the location where the Gluttonous Pill was stored.
Seeing the introduction of this golden pill, the youth’s pupils shrank, and even the remnant soul within him stirred.
"Indeed, there’s no mistake, it’s a pill aiding the absorption of heavenly materials and earthly treasures!!!"
"Strange, I’ve never seen such a pill, though its grade is not high, its effects seem astonishing... For pills aiding digestion, the highest quality on the market is the third-grade Elent Transformation Pill, but this golden pill gives a feeling that even the Elent Transformation Pill can’t match it!"
"The main point is, the Elent Transformation Pill requires at least a cultivator at complete Foundation Establishnt to take it without concern, but this pill’s effect is extrely gentle, a Qi Cultivation Cultivator can probably handle it without any burden..."
"What a waste, such precious pills, just placed so casually outside by this pill pavilion, surely causing a loss in efficacy... However, if not for this, I wouldn’t have discovered this Gluttonous Pill..."
The blue-robed youth’s expression changed, and he thought, "Father, could this thing... help digest the legacy you left behind?"
"Yes, one might not be enough, but if there’s a large amount of these pills, you can quickly digest the treasures I stored, without waiting till you reach the Golden Core Stage," the remnant soul said. "This way, you can definitely compete for that slot!"
"But this Gluttonous Pill doesn’t seem to be for sale, it requires trading with different fires," the blue-robed youth hesitated.
Different fires, they don’t have those kinds of things.
"Among the treasures I stored, there is a ’Holy Fire Lotus’, which, upon consumption, has a certain probability of refining a different fire ’Life Healing Lotus Heart Fla’, but the Holy Fire Lotus is a fourth-grade spiritual object, due to its extre rarity, its value is even higher than ordinary fifth-grade spiritual objects! I worry that in your situation, presenting such a treasure for trade might lead to trouble," the remnant soul murmured.
As the father and son were communicating, Lin Jing, who was reclining on the wooden chair, suddenly closed the book and said:
"Holy Fire Lotus, Life Healing Lotus Heart Fla, is it that special fla with healing effects?"
Lin Jing’s simple inquiry caused the blue-robed youth to suddenly freeze, stiffly raising his head and looking at Lin Jing in astonishnt.
Also causing the remnant soul inside him to suddenly stop the soul communication, looking incredulously at the young owner, who was only at the mid-stage Foundation Establishnt.
Both found it hard to believe that Lin Jing, at mid-stage Foundation Establishnt, could hear their soul communication.
"No need to be tense, I an no harm, I’m just particularly sensitive to souls, and didn’t intend to eavesdrop on your conversation," Lin Jing chuckled.
Having the contracting soul nesis Ice Soul Gu, such a remnant soul hiding inside a living being couldn’t escape his perception.
So much so that if he wanted, he could easily pull out and freeze the remnant soul from the youth’s body.
"Young friend has an astonishing talent, to actually perceive my existence."
After a mont, the remnant soul within the blue-robed youth no longer hid but slowly manifested a soul body, saying: "Even an ordinary Divinity Transformation cultivator couldn’t perceive my existence, yet today I was detected by a Foundation Establishnt youth."
"I not only know that you are hiding in his body in the state of a remnant soul but also understand how you ca to be a remnant soul," Lin Jing said calmly, "If I’m not mistaken, it was the Nether Hall, right? There are scorch marks from the Netherworld Ghost Fire on you..."
"You were probably severely injured by a Nether Hall Demon Cultivator, but luckily survived because of your special constitution related to the soul... Your soul attainnt is high, which is also why you feel safe hiding in his body.
After becoming like this, your child likely has no one else trustworthy to rely on.
While you’ve left many treasures for your child, with his cultivation, he can’t perfectly digest them, thus you’ve set your eyes on the Gluttonous Pill, am I wrong?"
The remnant soul froze, then exclaid in surprise: "May I ask how to address the young friend..."
"That’s not important, I am just a naless Wandering Alchemist, also not interested in your grudge with the Nether Hall, just staying here to train per my master’s order."
"If you are interested in the Gluttonous Pill, you’re welco to trade it with the Holy Fire Lotus, I won’t reveal your affairs," Lin Jing offhandedly said.
The remnant soul chuckled bitterly and said: "Then I thank the young friend, the young friend’s deductions are not wrong, if so, if we exchange the ’Holy Fire Lotus’ for this ’Gluttonous Pill’, how many can the young friend offer?"
Lin Jing rubbed his chin and said: "Bring the Holy Fire Lotus first, I need to judge based on the quality..."
The blue-robed youth slightly cupped his fists, then left the pill pavilion together with the remnant soul.
Outside, the blue-robed youth broke out in a cold sweat and said: "Father, could this person be from the Nether Hall, as only those from the Nether Hall would be so familiar with souls and the Netherworld Ghost Fire, right?"
The remnant soul sighed and said: "No, he’s probably just an Alchemist interested in different fires, otherwise he wouldn’t have proposed such a trade condition, your father has a Fire Soul Body, if he studied under a skilled Alchemist, having a certain understanding of the Fire Soul Body and Netherworld Ghost Fire isn’t impossible, at any rate, this person should not be provoked."
"At present, we can only trust he bears no ill will."
"When we trade for the Gluttonous Pill, quickly digest the treasures I left behind, and use the potential converted from absorbing high-grade treasures to join the Heaven-Reaching Tower, the family is not your place to stay long, haha... family mbers... staying in the family, you’ll eventually be drained completely by them."
"Let’s go, I’ll take you to get the treasures. Be cautious, let possess you, and absolutely do not let more people know I’ve left other estates."
......
"A good start..." after the father and son left, Lin Jing murmured, the Life Healing Lotus Heart Fla, a healing-type different fire, would be very useful for the Fire Qilin Dragon, which was ant to bear the blows for him in the future!
