6: Two-color blue spirit flower, comprehend a level of sword intent
"What is it?"
Hearing this, Lin Yan's expression immediately became excited. It didn't matter if it was weak; as long as he could find such a spiritual material, refine it into a Medicinal Pill, and then use the ten-thousand-fold return once, everything would be easily resolved.
It wasn't just Lin Yan; even Liu Mei and Ye Tian, who were standing nearby, were listening intently. Having joined the Qingyun Sect for so long, this was the first time they had heard of such a spiritual material.
Elder Fang paused slightly before speaking.
"The two-colored azure spirit flower!"
"It is rumored that this flower absorbs the essence of the sun and moon every day and contains the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. It can not only improve a Cultivator's Innate talent but also temporarily increase their Comprehension Ability!"
"However, because the growth period of the two-colored azure spirit flower is extremely short, most Cultivators who find it only do so to utilize that temporary increase in Comprehension Ability for meditation."
After listening to Elder Fang's words, Lin Yan was immediately filled with longing, wishing he could find this two-colored azure spirit flower right away.
"Then, does Revered Master know where one might find this two-colored azure spirit flower?"
Seeing Lin Yan so excited, Elder Fang immediately smiled.
"Based on the growth environment of the two-colored azure spirit flower, perhaps the Sunset Mountain Range might have traces of it."
"However, finding it will require a bit of luck!"
At this point, Elder Fang paused slightly, patted Lin Yan on the shoulder, and said.
"Hehe, just focus on your Alchemy. Strive to improve your Alchemy level as soon as possible and complete the Alchemist Rank assessment!"
"As for the matter of the two-colored azure spirit flower, I will have someone look for it on your behalf."
After leaving the main hall, Lin Yan headed toward his residence. Since his Revered Master had said as much, there was no need for him to dwell on the issue of his Innate talent for the time being.
If the quality isn't up to par, we'll make up for it with quantity, striving to create a qualitative change through quantitative changes!
"Junior Brother, just devote yourself entirely to Alchemy. In three days, the Pill Hall will send a group of Utility Disciples to the Sunset Mountain Range to gather herbs. I will accompany them as a guardian, and I will definitely help you search for that two-colored azure spirit flower."
Beside Lin Yan, Senior Brother Ye Tian patted his shoulder, left him with those words, and then turned to leave.
"Little Junior Brother, you are the super Genius of our Pill Hall; don't let Revered Master's high expectations go to waste!"
Before leaving, Liu Mei also indicated that she would keep an eye out for any spiritual Materials that could increase Innate talent for him.
After all, neither of them specialized in the Dao of Alchemy, so they didn't need to stay in the Pill Hall for long periods.
Watching their retreating figures, a touch of emotion stirred in Lin Yan's heart.
"Rest assured, I will definitely not let you down!"
"A fifth-grade Nascent Soul Pill? Give me some time, and I will definitely be able to refine it!"
After returning to his room, Lin Yan immediately took out his Pill Furnace and began Alchemy.
Having had the experience of refining the Qi Refining Pill once, Lin Yan became extremely proficient at it. In less than half an hour, wisps of pill fragrance began to permeate the room.
"Ding! Host has refined five Intermediate Qi Refining Pills. Ten-fold return successful. Obtained five Advanced Qi Refining Pills!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for refining five Advanced Qi Refining Pills. Obtained a reward of three years of Sword Dao cultivation!"
Hearing that familiar voice in his mind, a faint smile appeared on Lin Yan's face.
But in an instant, he wiped away the smile and began to prepare the next batch of Qi Refining Pills.
Hum!
As time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye, two hours had gone by.
Two hours later, Lin Yan had finished refining all of the remaining three portions of Qi Refining Pill Materials.
"Ding! Host has refined three Advanced Qi Refining Pills. Ten-fold return successful. Obtained three Top-Grade Qi Refining Pills."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for refining three Top-Grade Qi Refining Pills. Obtained a reward of three years of cultivation!"
"Ding! Host has refined three Top-Grade Qi Refining Pills. Ten-fold return successful. Obtained three Perfect-Grade Qi Refining Pills."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for refining three Perfect-Grade Qi Refining Pills. Obtained a reward of three years of Sword Dao cultivation!"
"Ding! Host has refined three Top-Grade Qi Refining Pills. Ten-fold return successful. Obtained three Perfect-Grade Qi Refining Pills."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for refining three Perfect-Grade Qi Refining Pills. Obtained a reward of three years of Sword Dao cultivation!"
Following the last sound in his mind, Lin Yan was shocked to discover that his cultivation had directly risen from the third level of Qi Refining to the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Furthermore, he, who had originally known nothing about the Sword Dao, now felt wisps of sharp Sword Intent faintly emerging from his body.
"This... could this be Sword Intent?"
However, just as Lin Yan thought this and was shocked in his heart, that familiar sound of the System rang out again.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully comprehending first-level Sword Intent!"
Hiss!
Hearing the voice in his mind and feeling his own sharp first-level Sword Intent, Lin Yan couldn't help but gasp.
One must know that even among the Elders of Sword Peak, those who could comprehend first-level Sword Intent were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!
But soon, Lin Yan felt relieved. The System had imparted nearly ten years of Sword Dao cultivation to him, and it had only just barely allowed him to comprehend first-level Sword Intent.
Such talent for the Sword Dao could only be described as very average!
Damn it!
At this thought, Lin Yan couldn't help but curse.
"Does this mean I only have a slight talent in Alchemy?"
Lin Yan shook his head, adjusted his emotions, and began to refine the Qi Blood Powder.
The Qi Blood Powder was considered to be in the higher Ranks among First-Grade Medicinal Pills, so for Lin Yan, it was quite a challenge.
Hum!
Purifying the pill liquid, condensing the pill, and forming the pill were all done in one go.
In less than half an hour, bursts of pill fragrance emanated from the Pill Furnace.
"It seems to be quite a bit simpler than I imagined?"
Looking at the three round, blood-red Top-Grade Qi Blood Powders inside the Pill Furnace, Lin Yan was stunned for a moment. Why was it getting easier the more he refined?
"Ding! Host has refined three Top-Grade Qi Blood Powders. Thirty-fold return successful. Obtained three Perfect-Grade Qi Blood Powders!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for refining three Perfect-Grade Qi Blood Powders. Obtained a reward of three years of Soul power growth!"
Feeling the strengthening of his Soul power, Lin Yan discovered that his understanding of Alchemy seemed to have become increasingly proficient.
Therefore, for the remaining two portions of Qi Blood Powder, Lin Yan refined them all at once.
A total of six Perfect-Grade Qi Blood Powders brought him a reward of three years of cultivation and three years of Sword Dao cultivation.
His cultivation naturally rose from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining, and his comprehension of the Sword Dao also deepened significantly.
"Based on my current Soul power and Alchemy level, refining First-Grade Medicinal Pills is already a breeze; I might even be able to attempt refining Second-Grade Medicinal Pills!"
Lin Yan seriously evaluated his current level and gained a rough understanding of his own strength.
Generally, if an Alchemist wants to refine Second-Grade Medicinal Pills, their cultivation must reach the Innate level.
But because Lin Yan's Soul power had been strengthened, coupled with his Great Master-level Alchemy experience.
Therefore, saying he could attempt to refine Second-Grade Medicinal Pills was completely based on facts.
"Perhaps it is time to go to the Alchemist Association to complete the First-Grade Pill Refiner assessment."
The ten-thousand-fold return reward would be enough to raise his strength by another level!
