Immortality and Cultivation: Starting with Harvesting the Talents of Demonic Beasts

Chapter 105 Obtaining Demonic Power Again
However, in reality, over the past four years, the number of spirit stones in Lin Changheng's storage bag and the value of the convertible items have increased dramatically again, and after deducting considerable expenses, they have approached the five thousand mark.

Even if this debt is damaged due to unforeseen circumstances, it won't be a serious loss.

Lin Changheng's move was intended to strengthen his relationship with Mo Zhaoli through borrowing and returning.

They already have the "favors," but they lack the "relationships."

Relying solely on correspondence is insufficient; more effort is needed.

Borrowing spirit stones is a good starting point.

Moreover, Mo Zhaoli lacked spirit stones for foundation building, and his initiative to bring it up at this time was like sending charcoal in snowy weather, which was better than adding flowers to brocade.

Once this woman reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone three hundred low-grade spirit stones, even three thousand would probably not achieve half the effect she has now.

It only takes a few round trips.

Lin Changheng would then naturally make a request to align himself with the essence blood of demonic beasts.

At that time, there will be another good way to obtain higher-level essence blood.

……

But things changed much faster than Lin Changheng had anticipated.

"Brother Lin, is there anything I can do to help?"

After accepting the spirit stones that Lin Changheng took out, Mo Zhaoli suddenly looked at him and said.

"Ok?"

Lin Changheng hesitated for only a moment before Mo Zhaoli feigned displeasure: "Could it be that only Brother Lin is allowed to help Li'er, but Li'er is not allowed to help Brother Lin? Or does Brother Lin look down on Li'er's help?"

"Of course not."

Lin Changheng smiled and shook his head.

“Then Brother Lin, please speak.” Mo Zhaoli smiled immediately.

"Very well, I really do need some demon beast essence blood for my alchemy research."

"【Turbid Fiend Essence Blood】and above, such as 【Mysterious Spirit Essence Blood】 and 【Nether Void Essence Blood】 are all acceptable. As for the quantity, well, the more the better."

Since that's the case, there's no need to stand on ceremony, Lin Changheng said directly.

"Monster blood?"

Mo Zhaoli wasn't surprised, after all, alchemists always dealt with demon blood, which was an important ingredient in alchemy. He nodded earnestly and said, "I've got it. Don't worry, Brother Lin."

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he said, "Brother Lin, please wait a moment."

Then Lin Changheng saw Mo Zhaoli reach out and touch the white storage bag embroidered with a pear blossom at his waist.

"Could it be... that Zhao Li possesses essence blood?"

Lin Changheng's heart stirred slightly, filled with surprise and joy, but he did not show it to others. "Is this what they mean by 'what you keep in mind will eventually come to pass'?"

Before long, Mo Zhaoli took out a bunch of jade bottles from his storage bag.

There are more than thirty of them.

"This is?"

Lin Changheng asked a question with a smile at the opportune moment.

"Brother Lin, you may not know this, but half a year ago I took on a hunting mission within the sect to kill demons and gather materials for refining weapons for a weapon-refining master in the sect named 'Jin Yunzi'."

"That kind of monster is called the Mountain-Moving Ape. It has the bloodline of turbid evil and is only taken from its long tail! This beast has thick skin and flesh and is also good at earth magic. It throws stones like meteors and is extremely difficult to kill. It really took a lot of my effort and methods."

"When the mission was completed, the remaining monster corpses could not be wasted. All the valuable materials on them were taken. Long Tail handed in the mission, but before I could deal with the others, I encountered another mandatory mission from the sect. Back and forth, it has been delayed until now. Since Brother Lin needs them, I will give them to you as well."

Mo Zhaoli smiled faintly and pushed the essence blood directly in front of Lin Changheng.

In the outside market, a single essence of the [Turbid Fiend Bloodline] can be sold for three spirit stones, so the essence of the blood that Mo Zhaoli extracted is worth nearly a hundred spirit stones. Although there is a slight discount for buying in bulk, the price is still roughly the same.

"Li'er is currently preparing to establish her foundation, and resources are scarce. How can this be acceptable? Brother Lin, you cannot accept this gift for now."

Lin Changheng spoke slowly, disagreeing.

He then proposed a plan: he would purchase the essence blood at market price using additional spirit stones, and if Mo Zhaoli still wished to do so after he established his foundation, he could give him some more essence blood as a gift. However, Mo Zhaoli refused: "Brother Lin, absolutely not."

Then her bright, beautiful eyes swept over Lin Changheng. "Brother Lin mentioned in his letter that his cultivation had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining and he was working on overcoming the bottleneck in the later stages. That should be the time for him to use spirit stones. How could he give all the spirit stones to Li'er? Li'er is not an overly selfish person and would never do such a thing."

She had a slight doubt in her heart. With her cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining, she looked at Brother Lin from all angles and from every angle, and he was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

But she only knew that Lin Changheng had no reason to lie to her, and that his concealment technique was quite mysterious.

After a struggle.

In the end, the two decided to settle the debt with the three hundred spirit stones they had borrowed.

The two chatted for a long time before Mo Zhaoli got up to take his leave. He wanted to spend the rest of his time at the Xu family home with his grandfather.

As for the previous incident, a high-ranking member of the Xu family asked Lin Changheng to speak on their behalf, attempting to strengthen ties with Mo Zhaoli. After all, Mo Zhaoli was a Foundation Establishment seed with an emotional connection to the family, and held a high position in the upper sect, making him worthy of being courted and invested in.

Lin Changheng didn't even mention it, so how could I possibly endorse it using my personal connections? Personal connections are disposable, and even Master Mo doesn't interfere with his granddaughter's choice, so why should I?

To put it simply, he was merely a "guest alchemist" in the Xu family, and any other tasks or requirements were beyond his purview.

This point should be made clear.

Lin Changheng saw the woman off and returned to his room. Looking at the slightly eerie beast blood essence on the table, he couldn't help but smile.

This is the benefit of having a wide circle of friends and being kind to others.

Finding these essence blood on your own will take quite a bit of effort. Hunting demons in the depths of the wilderness is also far too dangerous.

It's better now.

"Mountain-Moving Ape!"

It's still earth-based, which is perfect for Lin Changheng to generate a true core and further enhance his earth-escape technique.

"bring it on."

Lin Changheng directly extracted his semen.

The primordial cauldron within his sea of ​​consciousness trembled repeatedly.

【Panshan Turtle Treasure Seed - Fivefold】

[Spirit Stealing: 100/100]

[Biochemical Life: 10/10]

……

[With essence and blood fully absorbed, the transformation is complete!]

【Panshan Turtle True Core - Supreme】

[Can be refined into a demonic technique that reverts to ancestral form by incorporating the bloodline of demonic beasts: Earth Escape]

"Refine into".

A true core the size of an adult's fist was formed and then effortlessly entered Lin Changheng's body with a single move.

"call!"

Lin Changheng took a deep breath. It was an extremely reassuring feeling, as if he were sinking into the thick swaddling clothes of the earth, enveloped by the warm power of the earth spirit.

The newly advanced [Earth Escape Technique] has once again transformed into [Earth Escape Demon Technique].

He gained a deeper understanding of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of martial art).

It's not something acquired later in life, but rather something innate, ingrained in one's bones and blood, almost an instinct.

Lin Changheng quickly finished the experiment.

"It can penetrate seven zhang underground, for fifty breaths!"

He fled five miles in one breath!

Lin Changheng was extremely satisfied. It was rumored that even the divine sense range of someone in the early stages of Foundation Establishment could only cover one mile!
Even considering the movement speed of someone in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, the probability of being detected by divine sense while traveling at high speed is still limited!
