Mortal Cultivator: Lin Tianzun

Chapter 3 Intermediate Spirit Stone
Lin Fan suppressed his inner excitement.

Carefully following the method conveyed by his divine consciousness, he placed the few low-level spirit stones in his hand into the Qiankun Creation Cauldron one by one.

I saw the four low-level spirit stones just fall into the cauldron.

The ancient runes on the tripod instantly lit up, emitting a soft and mysterious light.

It was as if an invisible force began to slowly revolve around the spirit stones, enveloping them.

After doing all this.

Lin Fan did not dare to slack off at all, and would devote his spiritual consciousness to paying attention to the situation inside the cauldron every day.

Time passed slowly in this tense and expectant atmosphere.

About a month passed quietly.

Finally, on a sunny noon, the light on the Qiankun Creation Cauldron became brighter and runes flickered.

A powerful spiritual power wave emanated from the cauldron and went straight into Lin Fan's perception.

Lin Fan was delighted, knowing that the spirit stone had been successfully cultivated.

He quickly gathered his thoughts and carefully probed his spiritual sense into the cauldron.

The low-level spirit stone that was originally dull and had weak spiritual power had changed drastically at this moment.

They emit a bright and rich spiritual energy.

Clear and deep spiritual patterns meander across the surface of the spirit stones, highlighting their extraordinary status as mid-level spirit stones.

Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with relief and joy.

During the past month, he has been worried all the time. After all, the success or failure of upgrading these four spirit stones is related to his future path of cultivating immortals.

It concerns whether he can change his destiny and gain a foothold in this cruel world of cultivating immortals.

Now seeing their successful transformation, it is as if I see a promising future for myself.

Lin Fan looked at the four brightly glowing mid-level spirit stones in his hand, his eyes filled with surprise and emotion.

You know, in this world of cultivating immortals, the value of a mid-level spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-level spirit stones.

Now he has four pieces at once, which is equivalent to four hundred low-level spirit stones gathered together. This is undoubtedly a considerable fortune.

In the past, as a casual cultivator, Lin Fan had to put a lot of thought into obtaining those few low-level spirit stones.

Sometimes one even has to risk one's life to pick some low-level spiritual medicines, or go deep into dangerous places to search for opportunities, in order to barely accumulate a little.

And now, just relying on the magical effect of the Qiankun Creation Cauldron, the resources in his hands have achieved such a huge leap. How can he not be excited?

With these mid-level spirit stones, it is equivalent to having the key to open many doors in this world of cultivation.

In the market town, those precious cultivation resources that he could only look at on ordinary days are now available for purchase.

All kinds of elixirs that help with cultivation, whether they are elixirs that can assist in absorbing spiritual energy or elixirs that can help stabilize the realm, can be put into the bag as long as there are enough spirit stones.

There are also classics that record profound skills and wonderful spells.

If you come across a suitable one, you can take it without hesitation to further enrich your cultivation methods and improve your strength.

Now he already possesses two rare treasures, the Qiankun Creation Cauldron and the Taiqing Jade Purifying Bottle.

It would be better to leave Han Li's "Heavenly Bottle" to him. There is really no need to steal his things anymore.

After all, the cause and effect involved in that treasure is too serious, and Lin Fan doesn't want to get involved easily.

He was clear in his mind and knew that some opportunities could not be forced.

Although the Palm of Heaven Bottle is good, the various variables and unknown dangers hidden behind it make him feel wary!
There was no way to get the "Zhan Tian Ping" before, so now it is natural to give up this idea.

Lin Fan looked at the two treasures in his dantian and thought to himself that having these two treasures was already a great blessing and he should be content.

If you fall into an endless entanglement of cause and effect because of your greed for the Tianping Bottle, you may end up losing more than you gain.

He decided to focus entirely on the research and application of the Qiankun Creation Cauldron and the Taiqing Jade Purifying Bottle.

Relying on his own efforts and wisdom, he opened up his own path to immortality.

The instructions for using these two treasures are too brief and not detailed.

The Taiqing Jade Purity Bottle is easy to understand. It produces a drop of "Taiqing Immortal Liquid" every seven days, and each drop can ripen the medicinal herb for a hundred years.

But if the Qiankun Creation Cauldron has a strengthening function and is used to strengthen a spiritual object, how long does it take?
There is no specific time limit, so it still needs to be explored carefully.

Lin Fan carefully put these mid-level spirit stones into his storage bag, silently thinking about what he should do next.

After a while, Lin Fan had a clear plan in his mind.

He tidied his clothes, carefully put away his storage bag, then walked out of the inn room and headed towards the market town, finding a hat to put on.

Tainanfang Market was as bustling as ever, with the streets bustling with people.

Among them were many cultivators wearing various Taoist robes and carrying long swords, and they were all in a hurry.

Or they would stop and watch in groups of two or three in front of various stalls and shops.

Soon, he arrived at a rather impressive-looking medicine shop. A faint medicinal aroma filled the air, and the shelves were filled with a variety of porcelain bottles, each with a note labeled with the name and efficacy of the medicine.

Lin Fan's eyes quickly scanned the shelves.

He quickly locked onto several kinds of elixirs that he liked - the famous Huanglong Pill and Jinsui Pill in the original novel, as well as the Qi-training Pill that was extremely helpful for the cultivators in the Qi-training stage.

Huanglong Dan and Jinsui Wan, a bottle contains ten pills and is sold for ten spirit stones. Although the price is relatively affordable, the efficacy cannot be underestimated.

After taking these two kinds of elixirs, they can help cultivators better absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and nourish the meridians, which is of great help in consolidating cultivation and improving realm.

The Qi-training pills are even more precious. A bottle of ten pills costs thirty spirit stones.

However, its effect is more significant. It can not only speed up the circulation of spiritual energy in the body, but also increase the chance of success when breaking through the bottleneck.

Lin Fan secretly calculated in his mind that the mid-level spirit stones he had on hand were enough to buy a large number of these pills.

He no longer hesitated and waved to the shop assistant, saying, "Give me five bottles of Yellow Dragon Pills, five bottles of Golden Marrow Pills, and three bottles of Qi Training Pills."

When the waiter heard this, a smile immediately spread across his face, and he quickly responded, "Okay, Master, please wait a moment. I'll get it for you right away."

As he spoke, he deftly took the corresponding porcelain bottles from the shelf and placed them one by one on the counter, not forgetting to introduce them enthusiastically: "Master Immortal, you really have a good eye. These kinds of elixirs are all best-sellers in our store. The quality is absolutely guaranteed. I guarantee you will be satisfied with them."

Lin Fan nodded slightly, took out two mid-level spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to the waiter. After carefully checking the quality of the pills, he put these precious pills into his own storage bag.

The waiter took the two mid-level spirit stones handed to him by Lin Fan, and the smile on his face became even brighter. His eyes were filled with unconcealable joy. After all, these mid-level spirit stones were not something you could receive often.

He first took out ten low-level spirit stones from the cash box under the counter, then held them in both hands with a smile on his face and handed them to Lin Fan.

He said, "Master Immortal, these are ten low-level spirit stones I found for you, please keep them.

Our shop has always been honest and trustworthy in its business dealings. If you need anything in the future, please come back and patronize us."

Lin Fan nodded slightly and reached out to take the ten low-level spirit stones.

He secretly thanked his lucky stars that he now had the Qiankun Creation Cauldron, which made the resources at hand more abundant and allowed him to buy so many pills.

He also put the low-level spirit stones into the storage bag, turned around and walked out of the medicine shop.

Since he had no self-defense weapon in his hand, Lin Fan walked briskly into a talisman shop and prepared to buy a few talismans for self-protection.

This shop doesn't look big, but the walls are covered with various talismans, each of which emits a faint fluctuation of spiritual power, which makes people know at a glance that it is extraordinary.

When the shop assistant saw a customer coming in, he immediately came forward to greet him warmly with a smile on his face. He said, "Master Immortal, please come in quickly. We have just received a new batch of talismans. They are very powerful. Please see if there is anything you need."

As he spoke, he led Lin Fan to a display stand.

Lin Fan's eyes swept across the talismans on the display shelf one by one, and saw that some of the talismans were painted with mysterious runes, and the runes were flashing with strange light.

Some talismans are painted with lifelike patterns of mythical beasts, as if they are about to jump out of the talismans.

Some talismans are surrounded by a layer of faint spiritual energy, which makes people feel mysterious.

The waiter introduced: "Master Immortal, please look at this 'Fire Talisman'!
Once activated, it can instantly release powerful flame power. Ordinary people in the late stage of Qi training are simply unable to withstand the attack of this flame.

There is also this 'Swift Wind Talisman', which can greatly increase a person's speed after use, making it easy to travel hundreds of miles a day.

This 'Golden Light Shield' is even more powerful, it can form a hard shield around the body, capable of withstanding multiple attacks from a late Qi training cultivator."

Lin Fan was moved when he heard this. These talismans were indeed powerful, but they were definitely not cheap.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How much are these talismans for?"

The waiter smiled and replied, "Master Immortal, these 'Fire Talisman' and 'Swift Wind Talisman' are elementary high-level talismans, and the price is fifty low-level spirit stones each.

The 'Golden Light Shield' is a primary high-level defensive talisman, so it's a bit more expensive, costing eighty low-level spirit stones."

Lin Fan secretly calculated in his mind that he still had two mid-level spirit stones in his hand, which was just enough to buy these talismans.

He thought for a moment and said, "Give me a 'Fire Talisman', a 'Swift Wind Talisman', and a 'Vajra Talisman'."

When the waiter heard this, he immediately smiled and said quickly, "Okay, Master, please wait a moment, I will get it for you right away."

After a while, the waiter carefully took out the three talismans, put them in a special box and handed them to Lin Fan.

He said, "Master Immortal, please keep these three talismans. They are the best of the best. Please be careful when using them and don't waste them."

Lin Fan took the box and carefully checked the talisman. After confirming that it was correct, he took out two mid-level spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to the waiter.

When the guy saw this, his eyes lit up instantly and he quickly took it with both hands, his face full of surprise. After all, mid-level spirit stones are much rarer than low-level spirit stones.

The clerk began to calculate carefully. These three talismans cost a total of 180 low-level spirit stones, and one mid-level spirit stone was equivalent to 100 low-level spirit stones. Two mid-level spirit stones were equivalent to 200 low-level spirit stones. In addition to the cost of buying the talismans, he had to find an extra 20 low-level spirit stones.

The clerk skillfully took out twenty low-level spirit stones from the counter, held them in both hands with a smile on his face, and handed them to Lin Fan, saying respectfully:

"Master Immortal, these are twenty low-level spirit stones I found for you. Please keep them.

You are really generous in making this deal today. Please come and take care of our business more often in the future."

Lin Fan nodded slightly, took the twenty low-level spirit stones, put them into the storage bag together with the box containing the talismans, and walked out of the shop.

He was thinking that now that he had purchased the pills and talismans, he could just go back to the inn and practice in seclusion, using the power of these external objects to improve his cultivation.
