56: Lin Yan has become a popular figure, an extremely enthusiastic member of the Divine Artifact Sect!
Just as Lin Yan was immersed in the joy of his strength increasing, the ethereal voice of the Super Refining Art suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan shook his head and smiled, saying,
"I nearly forgot about you!"
"Once I purchase an Artifact Refining Platform, we can begin Artifact Refining!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yan flickered and appeared before Dan Qing, who had been waiting in the distance for a long time.
"Senior!"
Lin Yan smiled and bowed, not expecting that the commotion from his Golden Core breakthrough would even alarm the President.
"Congratulations, Alchemist Lin, on successfully forging the strongest Five Elements Golden Core!"
Dan Qing also smiled and returned the bow. As someone at the Nascent Soul Peak, for him to return a bow to a Golden Core Stage Expert was something that, if it spread, would surely shock everyone in the Northern Border.
However, Dan Qing clearly understood that Lin Yan surpassing him was only a matter of time, so it was better for him to simply address Lin Yan as an equal.
Lin Yan didn't pay much attention to Dan Qing's subtle change and simply smiled, saying,
"Junior was just lucky!"
To this, Dan Qing also smiled and said,
"Being overly humble isn't good. Alchemist Lin's talent can be said to be the best in the entire Eastern Xuan Domain, and that's no exaggeration!"
After skipping over the matter, Dan Qing asked,
"May I ask what Alchemist Lin plans to do next? Also, the Medicinal Pill auction will be held tomorrow!"
After hearing Dan Qing's words, Lin Yan paused slightly, then replied,
"Senior Dan Qing, I won't be participating in this auction. When the time comes, after your Alchemist Association deducts a portion of the sales revenue, you can just hand the rest over to me."
"Also, Senior Dan Qing, do you know if there's any place in Northern Border Dan Saint City that sells Artifact Refining Platforms?"
"What? Alchemist Lin also knows Artifact Refining?"
Dan Qing stared at Lin Yan with a look of surprise and disbelief, his heart somewhat in denial.
He naturally saw that the mountain Peak where Lin Yan was in seclusion was covered by a Heaven-Grade grand array.
However, he didn't expect that Lin Yan not only possessed such extraordinary talent in Alchemy but also had considerable attainments in array Dao. Now, he even knew Artifact Refining?
What kind of Prodigy was this?
"Heh heh, Junior has only done a little research, not much, just a tiny bit."
Lin Yan replied with a smile.
Upon hearing Lin Yan's reply, Dan Qing didn't inquire further and instead said,
"Just a short distance east of my Alchemist Association, there's an Artifact Refining workshop specially set up by the Artifact Sect in Dan Saint City."
"There, I believe Alchemist Lin should be able to find a satisfactory Artifact Refining Platform."
An Artifact Refining workshop set up by the Artifact Sect?
As a native of the Northern Border, Lin Yan naturally knew of the Artifact Sect's great reputation.
This was an existence that, along with the Qingxia Sect and Xuanming Sect, was known as the three great Sects of the Northern Border. These three Sects were the most top-tier forces in the Northern Border, besides the Alchemist Association!
However, Alchemists generally did not participate in the disputes between Sects, always maintaining neutrality. Therefore, gradually, the three Sects became the number one forces in the hearts of the people of the Northern Border.
It was rumored that the Old Ancestor of the Artifact Sect had refined a Divine Artifact back then, which was how the Artifact Sect achieved its current status!
"Thank you, Senior!"
After bidding farewell to Dan Qing, Lin Yan immediately rushed towards the Artifact Refining workshop.
However, just as Lin Yan left the Dan Tower and headed towards the Artifact Refining workshop, in a pavilion not far from the Dan Tower.
"My Lord! Lin Yan has come out of the Dan Tower!"
"How is it? Has he left the city?"
"Reporting, My Lord, he hasn't. He seems to be heading towards the Artifact Sect's Artifact Refining workshop."
"What is he going to the Artifact Refining workshop for?"
"Keep investigating!"
"Yes!"
......
Clang, clang, clang!
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Artifact Refining workshop, a series of hammering sounds emanated from within.
At the same time, a wave of heat surged out.
However, one had to admit the Artifact Sect's grand scale; even the main hall of the Artifact Refining workshop's facade was a Heaven-Grade defensive Magic Treasure!
"Fellow Daoist, are you here to forge any Magic Treasure? The prices for forging Magic Treasures here are very affordable!"
Just as Lin Yan was marveling at the Artifact Sect's grand scale, an old man with a smiling face approached him.
"You old fool, I think you've become senile! You don't even recognize Alchemist Lin!"
However, just as the old man finished speaking, a middle-aged man who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage quickly walked up to Lin Yan, then said with a respectful face,
"Alchemist Lin, I apologize for not welcoming you sooner to my Artifact Sect's Artifact Refining workshop. I hope Alchemist Lin will not blame me!"
Now, throughout Dan Saint City and even all the large and small forces in the Northern Border, who didn't know the great name of Alchemist Lin? This was a peerless Alchemy Saint who could refine Medicinal Pills with Dao Marks!
Just from this Alchemy competition, almost all the powerful cultivators from the various Sects in the Northern Border, to varying degrees, received gifts from Alchemist Lin, and their strength had significantly improved.
Take Hundred Mountains himself, for example; before the Alchemy competition, he was merely a nobody who had been stuck at the Golden Core Peak for a long time.
However, now, he had already become a magnate at the Nascent Soul Rank! And all of this was thanks to Alchemist Lin's generosity!
Therefore, Alchemist Lin had now become a sought-after figure for all forces in the Northern Border. They all wished they could invite Lin Yan to their Sect, even if it meant paying a huge price, just to have Alchemist Lin refine a batch of Medicinal Pills for them.
The old man who had initially spoken, upon hearing the words of his newly promoted workshop master, felt his heart instantly filled with shock.
So the person in front of him was the Alchemist Lin who had been making waves recently? As soon as he thought of his earlier attitude, he felt incredibly guilty, fearing that something might have displeased Lin Yan, thereby causing their Artifact Sect to lose an opportunity to befriend Alchemist Lin.
"Heh heh, Senior, please don't be like this. Junior is here today to purchase an Artifact Refining Platform."
Lin Yan saw that a Nascent Soul Stage Expert was so respectful to him, and for a moment, he couldn't quite get used to it.
"Alchemist Lin, you overstate the term 'Senior'. Hundred Mountains's ability to enter the Nascent Soul stage is all thanks to Alchemist Lin's generosity!"
"If Alchemist Lin doesn't mind, from now on, just call me Brother Bai Shan!"
Hundred Mountains dared not put on airs of a Nascent Soul cultivator in front of Lin Yan, after all, his Nascent Soul was essentially bestowed by the other party.
Seeing Hundred Mountains's firm gaze, Lin Yan could only nod and smile, saying,
"Then Junior will be bold enough to call you Brother Bai Shan!"
"Alchemist Lin, please come inside quickly. In this Northern Border, when it comes to the quality of Artifact Refining Platforms, if my Artifact Sect says it's second, no one dares to say it's first."
Upon hearing Lin Yan call him 'Brother', Hundred Mountains's heart instantly filled with joy. Wouldn't this shorten the distance between them?
Following Hundred Mountains into the outer hall of the Artifact Refining workshop, a dazzling array of Magic Treasures met Lin Yan's eyes.
Magic Treasures of all Ranks, from Yellow-Grade to Earth-Grade, were available. It was no exaggeration to say that the Magic Treasures displayed here alone were enough to match the accumulated wealth of several second-rate Sects.
"Alchemist Lin, is there any Magic Treasure you fancy? You just need to say the word, and I'll immediately have someone bring it to you, free of charge to Alchemist Lin!"
To Hundred Mountains's enthusiasm, Lin Yan shook his head and smiled, saying,
"Brother Bai Shan, there's no need for that. I'm here today only to purchase an Artifact Refining Platform."
"Oh? Then, may I ask if Alchemist Lin has any specific requirements for the Artifact Refining Platform?"
To this, Lin Yan smiled and said,
"There are no special requirements; an Earth-Grade Artifact Refining Platform will suffice!"
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Hundred Mountains immediately nodded, then quickly whispered to the person behind him,
"Go, bring out that Heaven-Grade Artifact Refining Platform and give it to Alchemist Lin!"
