178: At the peak of the eighth level, it’s time to change the alchemy furnace!
“Bring some Alchemist insights and understandings from Seventh-Grade and above?”
Seventh Elder of the Ling Clan, who was turning to leave, was filled with doubt after hearing Lin Yan’s words.
“What does he mean? Could it be that Young Miss’s friend hasn’t reached Eighth-Grade Alchemist yet and wants to achieve a Breakthrough on the spot?”
Thinking of this, Seventh Elder of the Ling Clan couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.
“Alas, Young Miss is still too young and naive. She doesn’t know where she found such an Alchemist!”
“Even if he has good talent and can achieve a Breakthrough to Eighth-Grade on the spot, his success rate for refining the Condensing Soul Pill is probably not as high as mine!”
However, although Seventh Elder thought this in his heart, he still obeyed Ling Shuangshuang’s instructions and went to carry them out.
Before long, Seventh Elder returned with the items Lin Yan needed.
Moreover, several people followed him.
“Let me see who it is, who dares to boast such a big claim, that he can revive the Clan Chief by using a Condensing Soul Pill?”
An old man dressed in an Alchemist robe couldn't help but shout the moment he appeared.
“Young Miss, you’re finally back!”
At the same time, when he saw Ling Shuangshuang’s figure, he immediately became excited.
Beside this old man, the other few people also nodded to Ling Shuangshuang. Ling Shuangshuang being able to return to the clan was something they hadn’t expected.
Originally, they were against Ling Leopard’s decision. After all, how could the Ling Clan’s Legacy, which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, be handed over to someone else?
But due to the power of the True Saint Dojo, they had no choice but to compromise and let Ling Leopard arrange things.
But now that Ling Shuangshuang had returned to the clan, perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope?
“Young Miss, have you been deceived? Even we old men find it difficult to successfully refine the Condensing Soul Pill. Who else in this Eastern Xuan Domain can refine it?”
However, while Ling Shuangshuang was touched by the concern of her elders, she calmly said,
“I think you all have been staying in your Pill Refining Rooms for too long. Haven’t you heard of Alchemist Lin’s name?”
On the other side, several respected Alchemists of the Ling Clan immediately showed a look of confusion upon hearing this.
“Alchemist Lin? Who is that? Could it be that his Alchemy level is higher than ours, old men?”
As they spoke, several old men had faint smiles on their faces, clearly not believing that anyone in this Eastern Xuan Domain had a higher Alchemy level than them.
“Young Miss, don’t forget, Elder Ling Yuan is the only Alchemist in the entire Eastern Xuan Domain who can refine a Medicinal Pill with seven Pill Patterns!”
“Even in the entire Eastern Xuan Dao Province, he is a top Alchemist who can rank among the top hundred!”
Behind the old man, the few people who followed him showed faint smiles and looked at Ling Shuangshuang.
At the same time, Ling Yuan’s face showed a hint of smugness upon hearing the words of the few people behind him.
Precisely because of this achievement, the Ling Clan’s Medicinal Pill orders each year were so numerous that they were almost too busy to handle them all.
Even some True Saint Dojos would send people to ask for their help in Alchemy.
Seeing the expressions of her elders, Ling Shuangshuang didn’t know what to say for a moment, and could only cast an apologetic look at Lin Yan.
In response, Lin Yan nodded back indifferently.
“Since everything is ready, please wait outside. If time is delayed, you cannot bear the responsibility.”
Lin Yan’s words immediately caught the attention of Ling Yuan and the others. They all turned to look at Lin Yan and said calmly,
“You are the Alchemist Lin that Young Miss mentioned?”
“At such a young age, you should learn to be good. How can you commit deception?”
The few of them looked at Lin Yan, their eyes filled with intense hostility.
Boom!
Looking at their disdainful eyes and extremely disrespectful attitude, Lin Yan frowned tightly and was about to make a move to teach them a lesson.
However, before he could make a move, Ling Shuangshuang, who was beside him, struck first. With a simple wave of her hand, she repelled the few of them and said coldly,
“I respect you all as my elders, which is why I spoke to you courteously just now. But you spoke rudely to my benefactor and friend, showing no respect whatsoever, and I cannot tolerate that.”
Ling Shuangshuang looked at the few people with a cold expression and added,
“What you did when Ling Leopard rebelled, I will have someone investigate thoroughly after this matter is over.”
“At that time, not only you, but everyone in the Ling Clan, from top to bottom, will be thoroughly investigated by this Young Miss. Anyone who stood on Ling Leopard’s side back then, I don’t mind completely eliminating!”
As soon as her voice fell, a terrifying pressure, carrying the aura of Dao Rhythm, diffused around, making it difficult for the few people to breathe. They could only stare at Ling Shuangshuang with horror on their faces.
“Junior Brother, I’m sorry. My clan members don’t know the rules.”
Ling Shuangshuang turned and cupped her fists to Lin Yan, her face full of guilt.
In response, Lin Yan smiled and said,
“Senior Sister, you’re being too formal. Our relationship won’t be affected by others.”
After such a long time together, Lin Yan naturally knew Ling Shuangshuang inside and out, and he treated her like his own younger sister.
After speaking, Lin Yan was too lazy to make everyone leave. After taking the Alchemist insights and understandings from Seventh-Grade and above, and the Condensing Soul Pill Formula from Seventh Elder, he directly sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to comprehend them.
“The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Formula has sensed the Eighth-Grade and Ninth-Grade Alchemist insights and understandings, and has entered a state of comprehension!”
In the distance, although Ling Yuan and the others were extremely displeased with Ling Shuangshuang’s recent actions, they dared not refute in the slightest, because from the aura of Ling Shuangshuang’s attack just now, they truly felt killing intent.
Now, their naive Young Miss had truly grown up and changed.
“To actually attack us clan elders because of an outsider, I want to see what Heaven-Defying ability this outsider possesses!”
“The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Formula has completed its comprehension of the Eighth-Grade and Ninth-Grade Alchemist insights and understandings, and has successfully advanced to Eighth-Grade Peak!”
Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Lin Yan’s face showed a faint smile.
Then he directly summoned his Pill Furnace and True Saint-Level Pill Fire, intending to begin refining the Eighth-Grade Condensing Soul Pill.
“Master, no, this Pill Furnace is too low-grade, it can’t withstand my power!”
However, in the next instant, Shen Yan’s voice immediately rang out, catching Lin Yan’s attention.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan was slightly stunned, but soon, he was relieved.
“That’s right, this is just a Pill Furnace from the System’s beginner gift package. It’s understandable that it can’t withstand the power of the True Saint-Level Pill Fire.”
Immediately, Lin Yan looked at Ling Shuangshuang and said with a wry smile,
“Senior Sister, I’m afraid I’ll have to borrow a Half-Saint-Grade Pill Furnace from you.”
