C277 A Strange Request

The new inner circle disciple, Lin Cheng, who had just returned from Monarch of Homo Clan's secret realm, had actually accepted Senior Dong's alchemy task!

This news was spread through the inner sect in a very short period of time along with the cultivator that had witnessed Lin Cheng accept the task.

Apart from those disciples who were cultivating in seclusion or carrying out tasks outside, almost all the other inner sect disciples had heard about this news.

Immediately, many people turned their heads to look at him.

Some people were laughing at him. A mere newly advanced cultivator was only a First Level of Core Sea Stage Cultivation Level. How dare he accept a mission that could seriously injure a Third Level Core Sea Stage cultivator?

From the looks of these people, Lin Cheng's action was simply not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, and he had gotten carried away by his own success.

There were also some people who were surprised, thinking that since Lin Cheng could successfully return from the secret realm... Furthermore, he had brought back a lot of rare treasures. This indicated that Lin Cheng definitely had some extraordinary fortuitous encounters. Perhaps, he might have obtained some kind of inheritance in the secret realm.

This guess made many people feel stupid.

Thinking back to how Lin Cheng had previously forcefully crushed Tu Yunchong and the others, displaying the combat strength that far exceeded his realm, it also seemed to corroborate this statement.

Although Lin Cheng's combat strength was very frightening, the fortuitous encounter he had obtained, as well as the rare treasure he had brought with him, all of them couldn't help but feel tempted.

When some people heard that he had accepted this mission, they began to anticipate that Lin Cheng would return with serious injuries just like the previous few people who had accepted the mission.

As a result, without his powerful combat strength, they might have a chance to get a share of the rare treasures in Lin Cheng's possession.

Amidst the chaos, Lin Cheng was extremely determined. He came to a mountain peak alone, the mountain peak where Senior Dong, who had issued the mission, was located.

Lin Cheng did not let Zhu Ziqiao and Zhou Chuan accompany him. He did not know what kind of temperament Senior Dong had. Would he be furious because he had brought an irrelevant person here, or would he cancel the mission?

Moreover, if this mission was really dangerous, Zhu Ziqiao wouldn't be able to help even if she came because she didn't know how to concoct pills. Instead, she might fall into danger. Lin Cheng naturally wouldn't let her take the risk.

As for Zhou Chuan, after he returned to Soaring Peak, he immediately left. No one knew where he went.

Following the stairs paved with limestone, Lin Cheng arrived in front of a building. He saw a few servants rushing in and out of the building, holding a lot of herbs and other items in their hands. A faint fragrance drifted in the air, refreshing the heart and mind. Lin Cheng could not help but feel refreshed.

He nodded slightly. Just this fragrance alone was enough to show that this place was a place that often refined pills. Moreover, it even refined quite a number of high-grade pill.

"Junior brother, may I ask where Senior Dong is?" Lin Cheng asked a servant.

Although this servant was older than him, the Cultivation Realm did not simply use age as a ranking system. More importantly, it was classified by realm Cultivation Level. No matter how old a servant was, they were still considered servants. When he saw an outer sect disciple, he had to address him as senior brother and senior sister. As an inner sect disciple, Lin Cheng had to address him as senior brother and senior sister. It was only natural for him to address him as junior brother.

When the servant heard this, he hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "May I ask if senior brother has accepted Senior Dong's mission?"

Seeing Lin Cheng nod his head, he immediately said, "Senior has instructions. Senior brother can go in immediately if he comes. There's no need to inform him."

Lin Cheng was surprised. After asking about Senior Dong's location, he entered the building with some doubts.

"The kid who accepted the mission hasn't come yet?"

As soon as Lin Cheng entered the building, he heard a shout coming from the front. He couldn't help but shiver. This voice was full of energy. Obviously, the owner of this voice was an expert.

Very quickly, Lin Cheng saw the owner of the voice.

He passed through the building and came to the spacious backyard. He saw a alchemy furnace about half the height of a person in the courtyard made of limestone. A few servants were busy transporting herbs and other items.

In front of the alchemy furnace, there was an old man standing with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a grey robe and looked a little slovenly.

However, Lin Cheng did not have any contempt for him. Instead, he felt a chill in his heart.

This was because the moment he stepped into the courtyard, he felt a Spirit Power circulating around him. However, this Spirit Power didn't come from this old man's body. It seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

Formation?

Lin Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly sized it up. The circulation of the Spirit Power was faintly discernible, but he had no idea where it came from. It looked like some kind of formation.

He just didn't know what kind of formation was arranged in this courtyard.

"Kid! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come over!" The old man's shout interrupted Lin Cheng's thoughts.

"Disciple Lin Cheng greets senior."

Lin Cheng immediately cupped his fist and greeted.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't waste your time. Let me ask you, are you proficient in alchemy?"

Lin Cheng was startled for a moment and said, "This disciple is slightly involved in alchemy."

"That's enough. Come over and use this pill furnace to refine pills." The old man said.

"Pill refining?"

Lin Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what pill do you want to refine?"

The old man said, "You can refine any pill you want. As long as there are medicinal herbs and items in this courtyard, you can use them and refine them as you wish."

Lin Cheng was stunned. He could refine any pill he wanted?

This old man's request was a bit too simple. On the contrary, it made Lin Cheng unable to react for a moment.

"Senior, this disciple does have something to do with alchemy, but this..."

"Since you dare to accept my mission, it means that you are very confident in your skill in alchemy. You don't have to worry, even if you fail, you will not receive any punishment. As long as you don't refine randomly, or intentionally fail. " The old man interrupted Lin Cheng and said.

Lin Cheng was surprised once again. It didn't matter even if the refinement failed?

He was getting more and more confused. This old man should be an alchemist as well, but he allowed him to casually concoct the pill. Even if he failed, he wouldn't be punished.

Just now, Lin Cheng only glanced at the herbs beside him, and his heart couldn't help but palpitate. Among them, there were a few herbs that were regarded as Heaven-earth Treasure in the outside world. Here, they were just like the most ordinary medicinal ingredients, casually piled up here.

If these medicinal ingredients were to be wasted, even Lin Cheng would feel somewhat reluctant to part with them. However, this old man actually did not care about them at all.

"Kid, let's begin." The old man said.

"Then... disciple will begin!" Lin Cheng nodded.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, since the old man made such a request, Lin Cheng could only do as he was told. He first carefully looked at the medicinal herbs placed around him, and then prepared to start refining.

Puff!

Lin Cheng casually waved his hand, and a ball of flame appeared below the pill furnace, starting to burn.

After that, he began to process the medicinal ingredients.

Although the old man said that he could refine them as he pleased, for the sake of safety, Lin Cheng only intended to refine a type of pill that was relatively common in Cultivating Warrior. After he used Spirit Power to refine it... It was also effective for cultivator. It could nourish the meridians and the body.

Lin Cheng's technique was extremely fast. After breaking through to the Core Sea Stage, he could easily handle the medicinal ingredients. In just a few dozen breaths of time, a pile of medicinal ingredients had already been processed.

A surprised look flashed across the old man's eyes. He looked at Lin Cheng but didn't say anything.

* Pa! *

Lin Cheng opened the lid of the furnace with his palm and started to throw the herbs into the furnace. At the same time, he released the spiritual sense to check the changes of the herbs.0

"En?"

As soon as the herbs entered the furnace, Lin Cheng could not help but be surprised. He found that this furnace was not ordinary. As soon as the herbs were placed in the furnace, they melted instantly. The speed was extremely fast, and it was totally incomparable to an ordinary furnace.

When he thought about how these high grade herbs were casually placed in the furnace, Lin Cheng was not surprised by this unusual furnace. He continued to place the herbs in the furnace.

A moment later, a delicate fragrance spread out from the furnace. Lin Cheng immediately activated the Spirit Power and prepared to divide the ingredients.

"Wait!"

At this moment, the old man suddenly spoke to stop Lin Cheng. Immediately, he saw the ten fingers of his hands rapidly changing at an astonishing speed. Even Lin Cheng could only see the afterimage of the old man's fingers.

Finger technique!

Lin Cheng immediately realized that the old man was using a finger technique to concoct pills. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, wanting to take a closer look.

As the old man's finger technique changed, Lin Cheng keenly sensed that the surrounding spiritual energy began to circulate, and even became somewhat restless.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the old man's finger technique stopped, and his left hand pointed at the pill furnace.

In an instant, Lin Cheng felt an incomparably majestic spiritual energy. It crazily surged into the pill furnace, as if all the spiritual energy in the world had poured into the pill furnace in an instant. It caused the medicinal liquid and spiritual energy in the pill furnace to become violent.

Even Lin Cheng's Spirit Power seemed to have been greatly attracted, showing signs of being out of control.

He could not help but be shocked. He was about to circulate the Grain God Spell to stabilize the Spirit Power, but at this moment, the incomparably violent spiritual energy in the pill furnace suddenly erupted.

Bang!

The spiritual energy within the pill furnace erupted.

Lin Cheng could only feel a terrifying force sweeping towards him. He subconsciously circulated the Spirit Power with all his might. However, it was as if he had been struck by a frenzied Demonic Beast. All of his internal organs had received a tremendous impact. The Spirit Power chakram in his meridians was almost broken apart.

Not good!

Lin Cheng roared in his heart, he was shocked. Once the Spirit Power chakram was broken apart, his meridians would be severely damaged. It was equivalent to half of his body being crippled.

"Turn!"

In a split second, Lin Cheng circulated the Spirit Power with all his might, trying to stabilize the chakram. He didn't even care if it would cause the Black Iron Chunk to move. He used all of his strength to activate the Spirit Power in his body, trying to resist the impact.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind. He had to resist this huge impact. He absolutely couldn't let his chakram break apart!

Boom!

Suddenly, Lin Cheng's Sea of Spirit Power began to surge. Immediately, waves surged, and the surging Spirit Power instantly spread to all of his limbs and bones.

"Bang!"

Lin Cheng was sent flying backwards. His back hit a certain object, causing his vision to turn black. The blood and Qi in his body churned.

However, he did not care about being shocked. Instead, his heart was filled with surprise.

Waves!

Waves had actually appeared within the Sea of Spirit Power. This was the symbol of a Second Level of Core Sea Stage!
