18: A wave of wealth! An ambush from the Wuwang Mansion!
Just as Lin Yan was immersed in the satisfaction of his cultivation improvement, a voice suddenly came from the Rank 2 Alchemist identity token.
“I’ll be right over, Elder Mo!”
Under the unremitting efforts of Super Pill Qi Art, cultivation successfully advanced to Innate Triple Layer!
After being baptized by the Rank 5 Cultivation Pill, Super Pill Qi Art gained much insight and successfully elevated its Rank to Mortal High Grade!
Lin Yan put away the Rank 5 Cultivation Pill, which had dimmed a bit more, then, along with Liu Mei, walked out of the inn and headed towards the Alchemist Association.
......
“Alchemist Lin, this is all the proceeds from this auction, a total of 800,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, all inside!”
Inside the Alchemist Association, Elder Mo smiled as he handed a Storage Pouch to Lin Yan, his eyes full of envy.
To be able to refine perfect-grade Medicinal Pills with Pill Veins, he would never have to worry about poverty again; wherever he went, he would be a sought-after figure that a Sect would revere!
“Elder Mo, how can this be? I borrowed your Alchemist Association’s auction venue, so you must charge a fee no matter what.”
Lin Yan did not immediately take the Storage Pouch. He knew the rules of auction houses: they would charge a 10% auction fee.
After all, for others to help you auction at a high price, the initial publicity investment, the construction of the auction venue, and so on, were all considerable expenses.
What’s more, this auction even made several Dynasties near the Great Yan Dynasty aware of it, which was enough to show that the Alchemist Association had gone all out this time.
“Haha, Alchemist Lin, don't worry, this is all the President’s intention.”
“Alchemist Lin, as a perfect-grade Alchemist, deserves such treatment!”
“If Alchemist Lin truly feels uneasy, he can take up a position as a Guest Elder in my Alchemist Association.”
Elder Mo forcefully stuffed the Storage Pouch into Lin Yan’s hand and said with a smile.
“Perhaps in the future, we will have more cooperation with Alchemist Lin.”
Don't look at Lin Yan currently being only a Rank 2 Early Stage Alchemist; with his unparalleled Alchemy talent, becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster or even a Great Grandmaster in the future is a certainty.
“In that case, then I’ll trouble Elder Mo to thank the President for me!”
“In the future, if Lin Yan refines Medicinal Pills that need to be auctioned, the Alchemist Association will definitely be the first choice!”
Lin Yan was not a pretentious person after all. After accepting the Storage Pouch, he cupped his fists at Elder Mo and said.
“Hahaha! In that case, our Alchemist Association awaits good news from Alchemist Lin!”
......
“Junior Brother, I didn’t expect you to not only be able to refine perfect-grade Medicinal Pills but also Medicinal Pills with Pill Veins!”
“If Revered Master knew about this, he would definitely cherish you like a treasure and revere you!”
Beside him, Liu Mei, seeing Lin Yan’s fruitful gains, was also happy for him.
After consuming the four-pill-vein Congenital Pill that Lin Yan gave her, Liu Mei, as expected, elevated her cultivation to the Innate Peak level. The next step was to find suitable Foundation Establishment materials to enter Foundation Establishment.
“Junior Brother, what should we do next?”
“I want to purchase some spiritual materials for my daily cultivation.”
The perfect-grade Rank 5 Cultivation Pill would probably not last much longer, and the next ten-thousand-fold return was unknown when it would be obtained. Therefore, Lin Yan had to prepare more spiritual materials to refine the Medicinal Pills needed for his daily cultivation.
Thus, accompanied by Liu Mei, Lin Yan purchased nearly 500,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones worth of spiritual materials at the Alchemist Association before leaving contentedly, and this was even with a discount.
“Let’s go, Senior Sister Liu Mei, it’s time for us to return to the Sect. We’ve been out for over half a month!”
At the same time, as Lin Yan and Liu Mei were heading out of Dan Saint City, inside the city, on a tall building, a graceful young man was staring coldly at the two.
“How are things arranged outside?”
“Reporting, Young Master, everything is ready, just waiting for the two of them to leave the city.”
Wu Heng nodded, then added.
“Tell the ambushers to pay close attention to the woman accompanying Lin Yan. This person likely has Innate Peak cultivation and should not be underestimated.”
His attendant cupped his fists in response and immediately left.
“It’s a pity, Brother Yan, your excellent Alchemy talent! But if you cannot be used by my Martial King Manor, I must nip any future threats that might hinder my Martial King Manor’s progress in the bud!”
......
After retrieving their Unicorn Horses, Lin Yan and the other immediately left the city and rushed back to Qingyun Sect.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
However, just as the two were riding their tall Unicorn Horses, rushing along, and passing through a valley, several black-robed figures suddenly emerged from the surrounding jungle, surrounding the two.
“Who are you? How dare you block the path of my Qingyun Sect?”
As soon as Liu Mei saw these ten people, her expression immediately turned cold. She drew the sword from her waist, shielded Lin Yan behind her, and at the same time, stared vigilantly at the three black-robed men in front of her.
Even with her Innate Peak cultivation, she felt a threat from these three.
Three Innate Peak cultivators!
Liu Mei frowned, and a bad premonition arose in her heart!
“Junior Brother, these people have come with killing intent. When the fighting starts, Senior Sister will try her best to hold them off, and you take the opportunity to escape!”
Lin Yan naturally knew that these people had come with killing intent, and it was very likely that their target was himself.
However, after hearing Liu Mei’s words, a touch of emotion still arose in his heart.
“Don’t worry, Senior Sister, abandoning fellow disciples and running away, that’s not my Lin Yan’s character!”
Now that he had comprehended Rank 2 Peak Sword Intent and his cultivation was at Innate Triple Layer Peak, he naturally had no fear.
“But Senior Sister, do you have any extra longswords? It seems I don’t have a handy weapon yet!”
Liu Mei didn’t know what Lin Yan meant by this, only thinking that with a weapon, her Junior Brother might have a greater chance of escaping. She immediately took out a Mortal High Grade longsword from her Storage Pouch and handed it to Lin Yan.
“What are you waiting for? Go together and quickly deal with them!”
“The three of us will stop this woman, and the rest of you, quickly kill that young man!”
Among the ten black-robed figures, the leading Innate Peak cultivator immediately issued the order.
Besides their three Innate Peak cultivators, among the other seven, there was also one Innate Sixth Layer, two Innate Fifth Layer, and four Innate Third Layer.
Such a lineup was truly overly luxurious for killing a Qi Refining Realm person.
“Kill!”
As soon as the leading black-robed man’s words fell, all ten moved at once, rushing to surround and kill the two.
“Junior Brother, hurry and go!”
Liu Mei immediately blocked in front of Lin Yan, forcefully bringing all ten into her attack range, buying Lin Yan time to escape.
“One person trying to stop ten of us, wishful thinking!”
“Since you’re seeking death, then I’ll grant it to you!”
Boom!
Immediately after, the ten people’s attacks simultaneously landed in front of Liu Mei, directly blasting her back, spitting blood.
Clearly, with Liu Mei’s current strength, she was not enough to directly contend with ten people.
“Senior Sister Liu Mei!”
Lin Yan quickly went forward and embraced Liu Mei, his face full of concern.
“I’m sorry, Junior Brother, Senior Sister is incompetent; I’m afraid I can’t protect you completely!”
Liu Mei looked at Lin Yan, her face full of apologies. She had clearly promised Revered Master to protect Junior Brother’s safety.
Lin Yan didn’t speak but quickly took out a Medicinal Pill with four pill veins and gave it to Liu Mei to consume.
“Senior Sister, you heal first!”
Immediately after, Lin Yan stood up, holding a longsword, his face icy cold, his eyes filled with endless killing intent as he looked at the ten people!
“Today, all of you must die!”
