Chapter 438 - 231 Mid-stage Golden Core_1
Lin Yi accepted the storage bag filled with spirit stones, checked it, and nodded in satisfaction. However, he didn’t leave at once and continued to speak, “I have a request. I hope you can agree to it.”
“Please state your request, fellow Daoist. We will do our best to fulfill it.” Qing He Zen Ren didn’t agree directly but wanted to see what kind of request this Hua Tuo-chosen Daoist friend would make.
Lin Yi gave a faint smile and voiced his request, “Your Xuan Yuan sect has a good moral compass, and your disciples hold a strong sense of justice. I, too, detest evil with a passion.”
“Having secluded myself for many years, it’s time to stretch my legs. So, I would ask you to help me collect information about cultivators who are steeped in sin. In time, I will put them to death myself.”
After all, his main goal in coming to the Xuan Tian Realm, aside from selling pills, was to proceed with his plan to upgrade his Merciful Title.
Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Qing He Zen Ren couldn’t help but ask, “It seems our Daoist friend Hua also embodies justice. We have no problem fulfilling your request. But do you have any specific requirements about the cultivation levels of these evil people? Is there a limit?”
The other three Golden Core Real Persons looked at Lin Yi. From this question, they could discern the strength of their Daoist friend.
Lin Yi gave a small smile, seeing this as a roundabout way to probe his strength, “You just collect the information. Whether they can be killed or not is for me to decide.”
“If your collection can satisfy me, I will have even better pills for you next time.”
Qing He Zen Ren nodded, “Very well. Then we look forward to your visit.”
“Now that everything here is settled, I’ll take my leave.” Lin Yi bowed respectfully and, under the escort of Elder Pine Zen Ren, left the gate of the Xuan Yuan sect. He lay on the gourd and sped away.
Back at the Xuan Yuan sect, the remaining three Golden Core Real Persons watched Lin Yi’s retreating figure and started to converse, “Sect Leader, this man doesn’t appear to be more than the Foundation Building Fifth Layer. Could he be hiding his true strength? Should we send someone to follow him?”
“If he indeed hides his true strength, possessing Golden Core or even higher cultivation levels, why doesn’t he go to other sects for sale but insists on coming to our Xuan Yuan sect?”
Qing He Zen Ren spoke with a serious expression, “Issue my order, don’t conduct any investigation or surveillance on Daoist Hua.”
After delivering the order, he revealed a smile, “Whether he’s hiding his strength or not, or who he truly is, doesn’t matter. What’s important is that he can bring us pills.”
He believed that there was one thing that Daoist Hua was truthful about—that he detests evil.
If not, why would he specifically choose them over weaker subordinate sects?
The two Golden Core Real Persons bowed, understanding that to the Xuan Yuan sect, obtaining pills was of utmost importance.
Although they had four Golden Core cultivators, their alchemy abilities were not strong. Elder Pine Zen Ren had some achievement in alchemy, but he could not refine a Top-grade Gold Coagulation Pill.
Now, having a new channel to obtain pills was a great opportunity for the Xuan Yuan sect.
After Lin Yi left the Xuan Yuan sect, he used his sense and didn’t detect any traces of surveillance, revealing a smile.
Having completed his business here, he didn’t waste any more time. He flew to a secluded mountain, used the Teleportation Mantra, and returned to the Dan God Secret Realm.
Just like the Pill Immortal Master, he had no interest in building his own power in the Cultivation World. Enhancing his personal strength was the most important task.
Moreover, as a Path of Survivor practitioner, having his own power would be more of a hindrance. It was better to be alone, coming and going as he pleased, living a freewheeling life.
Upon returning to his secret realm, Lin Yi commenced a new round of seclusion and cultivation. His primary focus was to improve his cultivation levels by exploiting the Pill Immortal Master, while also setting aside some time to absorb the Five Element Spiritual Energy and comprehend the Way of the Five Elements within his cultivation cave mansion.
Due to the wind element influence, his internal Golden Core kept rotating without his active cultivation.
With each rotation, the seven elements within the Golden Core integrated more closely.
In addition to improving his cultivation level, he was also constantly practicing alchemy and array methods. Every month, he set aside time to refine the Gathering Mysterious Pill to enhance the experience value of his Spirit Level Alchemy Art.
Once his skills became proficient or mastered, he would try to refine the Infant Breaking Pill to upgrade his alchemy title to the fourth tier Dan.
He also integrated the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind and the Divine Shadow Dharma into his cultivation plan.
After infusing the wind element into his Golden Core, the practice of the Wind Transformation Technique became much easier. He merely used the wind element within the Golden Core to fuse with his body.
Moreover, the already Great Perfection Feather Weight Magic of the Nine Transformations of Liu Yun, under the influence of the wind element in the Golden Core, became more elusive. Once he used it, Golden Core Real Persons were no longer able to capture his figure.
In terms of titles, Lin Yi chose those with significant roles to upgrade in his free time.
The most important one was undoubtedly the “Small Compassion”. Every other year, he would go to the Xuan Tian realm and kill some evil cultivators based on the information obtained by the Xuan Yuan sect, letting the resentment of the wronged innocents tear apart and consume these evildoers to gain Mercy Value.
The second most important was the “Predict Crisis” title. However, upgrading this title was simpler he just needed to use it frequently to gain experience value.
