95: Qi Refining Stage 10, Ink Toadstool

Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi confessed, "Mr. Xu is duty-bound to do this, but Mr. Xu is a merchant and knows that all connections are based on profit. Why would the Lin Family be willing to help?"

Chen Sichen said, "When I attended the Lin Family's banquet, I once sent a Seven Treasures Chicken as a gift. I'm sure the Lin Family will agree to Qingyang City's request out of respect for that Face. Moreover, please inform them that if the Lin Family can send a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to help, I am willing to personally present the Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula."

"Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula?"

Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi's eyes burned with fervor. His elegant demeanor nearly slipped, and his Face twitched a few times.

The Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula was extremely precious; even their Spirit Treasure Pavilion was unwilling to sell it.

Generally speaking, those precious Pill Formulas would be kept hidden and not easily traded to others.

Chen Sichen said with a bitter smile, "I am not an Alchemist, so this Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula is useless to me. It's better to use it to exchange for a chance for the Lin Family to act, and thus save Qingyang City!"

Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi clasped his fists again, "Young City Lord's righteousness! Leave this matter to Mr. Xu!"

Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi naturally had a way to bypass the beast tide and go to the Lin Family.

...

Inside the Lin Family's main hall.

Lin Yuheng and Lin Yumo received Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi.

Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi was initially puzzled by the Lin Family's Cloud Mist Mountain not encountering a beast tide, and then he was attracted by the Lin Family's Cloud Sky Formation.

No wonder the Lin Family could achieve such rapid development; their Foundation was truly profound.

Lin Yuheng politely said to Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi, "Shopkeeper Xu, may I ask why you personally came here?"

Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi, with his elegant demeanor, calmly said, "Mr. Xu and Brother Lin Yucheng have been good friends for many years. Firstly, I came to visit Brother Lin, and secondly, I have a matter to request from the Lin Family."

Lin Yuheng said, "I apologize, fourth brother is out and not in the Family at the moment. However, if Shopkeeper Xu has anything, please feel free to speak."

Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi took a deep breath, then said, "It's like this: Mr. Xu, at the request of Young City Lord Chen Sichen of Qingyang City, requests the Lin Family to go to Qingyang City to resist the beast tide."

Lin Yuheng showed a difficult expression: "However, our Lin Family currently only has one Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator guarding us, and we are truly worried about external enemies invading at this moment."

Lin Yuheng was also a cunning one; he showed no hesitation when speaking such a lie.

Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi said, "The Young City Lord said that if the Lin Family is willing to send a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator for support, he is willing to present a copy of the Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula."

"Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula?!"

Lin Yuheng's eyes burned with fervor, and he quickly said, "It is our Lin Family's bounden duty to go to Qingyang City to resist the beast tide. The Lin Family and Qingyang City have intricate connections, and even without the Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula, we would still go."

Shopkeeper Xu Lizhi smiled awkwardly but politely; this Lin Family Head just now didn't say that.

Lin Yuheng knew the preciousness of the Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula. Even if the Lin Family currently didn't have a Second-Order Alchemist, it was still very necessary to collect a copy of the Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula first.

As for supporting Qingyang City, he would personally take action.

He said to Lin Yumo beside him, "Second brother, I will accompany Shopkeeper Xu to Qingyang City. All matters, big and small, of the Lin Family will be entrusted to you."

Lin Yumo gave Lin Yuheng a reassuring look: "Big brother, leave everything to me!"

Lin Yumo was subtle and had always hidden his cultivation. He was also an Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, but to outsiders, he appeared to have given up after failing to Breakthrough his Realm.

With Lin Yumo guarding the Lin Family, Lin Yuheng was at ease.

...

Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

Lin Yongmao heard the System prompt in his mind.

"Ding~"

"System Prompt: parasitic seed is active, your cultivation has increased."

Lin Yongmao felt his body strengthen again, a refreshing sensation rushing from his feet directly to his mind.

His cultivation had broken through so quickly again, reaching the tenth layer of Qi Refinement Stage.

In just over ten days, Lin Yongmao's cultivation had advanced another small Realm.

Logically speaking, his Cultivate speed shouldn't be so fast, even with his dual Spiritual Root and unlimited Medicinal Pill supply, his cultivation shouldn't improve this quickly.

But the parasitic seed was simply too overpowered. Lin Yongmao was continuously absorbing Wang Bufan's Origin power and cultivation.

Now, Lin Yongmao's Dantian was like a container, and the spiritual power inside this container was about to be full.

If the spiritual power completely filled the Dantian, then there would be no further growth, and at this point, he would reach Qi Refinement Stage Great Perfection.

To advance his cultivation further, he could only attempt Foundation Establishment.

"System, I want to sign in!" Lin Yongmao silently chanted in his mind.

Today was another double critical strike moment, and Lin Yongmao's mood was extremely excited.

"Sign-in successful! Congratulations on obtaining Ink Juice Parasol Mushroom × 1."

It was another spiritual plant, and it looked like an offensive type.

Ink Juice Parasol Mushroom:

Grade: Second-Order High Grade

Description: A highly poisonous parasol mushroom. Its poisonous juice, when extracted, can even harm Golden Core Stage Cultivators and Third-Order Yao Beasts. If it grows for a thousand years, its toxicity will be even stronger.

In Lin Yongmao's palm, there was a ball of light, and within the light ball was a black-red mushroom.

This parasol mushroom was very beautiful. The Ink Juice Parasol Mushroom was shaped like an open umbrella, with an overall red color, but it had dozens of black spots on it.

The black spots on the parasol mushroom were the channels through which the venom flowed, and even Lin Yongmao did not dare to easily try to touch them.

Red umbrella, white stem, eat it and the whole Family lies flat.

Lin Yongmao then found a secluded spot and planted this Ink Juice Parasol Mushroom.

System Prompt: "Successfully planted Ink Juice Parasol Mushroom, Second-Order Spiritual Planter proficiency + 45."

Just by planting this parasol mushroom, Lin Yongmao gained 45 points of Spiritual Planter proficiency, which showed the rarity of this parasol mushroom.

If he used the Grass and Trees are All Soldiers Formation in conjunction with the Ink Juice Parasol Mushroom's poison, Lin Yongmao felt it might even be possible to poison a Third-Order Yao Beast to death.

Once a Third-Order Yao Beast or a Golden Core Stage Cultivator fell into the All Grass and Trees Are Soldiers Formation, and Lin Yongmao then actively stimulated the Ink Juice Parasol Mushroom's toxicity, it really might be possible to poison a Third-Order.

As the opponents he encountered grew stronger, the Hallucination Heart Flower was increasingly unable to keep up with Lin Yongmao's needs.

Dealing with First-Order and Second-Order Yao Beasts might not be difficult, but dealing with Third-Order Yao Beasts was almost impossible; their Divine Sense would not be easily affected by heart illusion pollen.

If he encountered a Yao Beast that countered it, then even a Second-Order Yao Beast couldn't be dealt with.

For example, last time Lin Yongmao encountered the Second-Order wind-attributed Yao Beast, Azureeagle, it could use wind to disperse the heart illusion pollen, thus remaining unaffected.

But the Ink Juice Parasol Mushroom was different; its toxicity was powerful, and Second-Order Yao Beasts simply couldn't resist it. Even poison-attributed Yao Beasts would fall victim.

Under the influence of the World Tree's Law of Time, the Ink Juice Parasol Mushroom could grow further, and its toxicity would become even stronger then.
