Chapter 11 - 11 Dilemma
Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Dilemma
Lin Lee glanced at the old appraiser, then shook his head and replied politely, "No need to apologize, Mr. Gu. I am here to sell these pills, they were refined by me. Please evaluate them," passing the pill bottles.
Appraiser Gu was surprised. 'He refined them himself, so soon,' thinking of Lin Lee buying medicine material's one day ago.
After opening the bottles and looking at the pills, after a while his expression became solemn.
Then, a glimmer flashed through his eyes as he looked at Lin Lee who was sitting there calmly. Next second he hid it away, then said, "Young Master Lin, half of your pills are high-grade and half are Medium."
"We will accept the high-grade pills at the price of 50 low-level spirit stones and 30 for the medium ones, total 20 pills priced at 800 low-level spirit stones," the appraiser said.
Lin Lee glanced at the evaluation price in surprise. 'I just spent 30 low-level spirit stones and earned 770 in return. Is the alchemist industry so profitable?' he wondered.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, he nodded calmly without showing anything on the surface. "Yes, Mr. Gu Yan, I am willing to sell them. Please give me hundred copies of each first-order medicine you have," he said.
Gu Yan nodded with a smile, put away the bottles inside his storage ring, and then let the staff prepare the medicine and balance spirit stones.
After a while,
"Here are the hundred copies of each first order medicine and your balance amount."
Gu Yan passed the seven enclosed wooden boxes, if medicine material are ordered in large quantity, they are packed inside wooden boxes in order to preserve aura inside them.
Lin Lee checked all the medicine, except few he got rest of the first order medicine, and had a balance of 40 low-level spirit stones.
Some of the medicine were rare and expensive, costing almost 8 to 9 spirit stones per dose, but he still managed to obtain them.
Lin Lee then left the auction house, unaware that the appraiser Gu Yan was watching his back with gleaming eyes.
Appraisal Gu Yan then hurriedly, returned to the upper floor of Tang auction house and knocked on the door.
"Come inside," a soft and calm voice sounded. He walked in, seeing a beautiful lady seated beside the window with flickering silver hair, resembling a princess from a painting.
Gu Yan bowed and placed the medicine bottles on the table.
Tang Bing raised her beautiful eyebrows and asked curiously, "Mr. Gu, what is this?" as she picked up a bottle.
She opened it, revealing a white lustrous pill in her snow-white palm. Her eyes widened in shock, she exclaimed, "Heavenly Pill, the low order pill that can only be refined by the Holy and Immortal Alchemist." Her palm started trembling looking at lustrous pill.
She then turned solemnly to Gu Yan and asked, "Mr. Gu, where did you get these pills?"
"Miss, I bought them from the young Master Lin Lee," Gu Yan said, then thoughtfully added, "I believe there might be a Holy or Semi-Holy Alchemist residing in the Lin Clan. Miss, should we investigate?"
Tang Bing was surprised, then frowned, thought for a while, and shook her head. "We can't involve ourselves with the Lin Family and unknown Holy Alchemist. Perhaps the Holy Alchemist is from some kind of sect, you know our family stay's away from sect affairs."
The appraiser nodded thoughtfully and then left.
Tang Bing turned and glanced in the direction of the Lin family. 'A hidden Holy Alchemist,' she thought, looking at the pill in her palm.
A pill refined by a Holy Alchemist and above is always without impurities. Such pills are known as heavenly pills and possess an amazing property: they can upgrade their quality. If a medium or low-grade heavenly pill is stored in condensed heaven and earth aura, its quality will upgrade to a higher level over time. Semi-Holy or Holy Alchemists are considered top assets in the strongest Empires and sect's.
Their Tang family can't touch this type of behemoth.
Tang Bing fell into deep thought, 'Should I inform grandpa.'
Neither of them had considered that the Holy Alchemist they were thinking about might just be a boy strolling back to the Lin clan.
Furthermore, he possessed nanobots capable of removing impurities at the atomic level, making him more meticulous than any Holy Alchemist.
After a while,
Lin Lee returned to his courtyard, where he found Meng Yu cleaning the hall. He patted her head and then walked into his room.
Meng Yu raised her head, glanced at his back, thoughtfully gripping the broom in her tightly, 'I am sorry young master, I won't be able to accompany you anymore.' she thought hesitated a little, wanted to say something then halted, looking at his receding back shook her head.
Lin Lee returned to his room, put out the medicine materials started extracting the essence, then started the refining process.
After a while, he looked at a lot of round pills inside the bottles, ten in each. 'This time there is no medium medicine among them.'
Lin Lee eyes lit up looking at high and top pills. There were Spirit Gathering pills, Spirit Condensation pills, Detoxification pills, Healing pills. He nodded in satisfaction, then consumed a Spirit Condensation pill and began cultivating.
While in another room of the courtyard,
Meng Yu inside her room sitting worried and feeling a little anxious, 'Should I tell young master about these dream's. It feels like I have been living somewhere else. What's happening to me? am I going to die? If I suddenly die then who will take care of young master?'
She fell into extreme dilemma, feeling those memory images in her mind has something to do with after life and reincarnation in the legend.
Six days passed swiftly.
In the deep of the night,
Lin Lee opened his eyes, feeling the ache in the meridians and veins of his body due to the accumulation of heaven and earth aura over the days. Suppressing the urge to break through innate, he had been refining his body and aura, completing the spirit and body forging exercises ten times over.
Now, both his body and aura had reached limit of the martial artist realm, and he felt that if he delayed any longer, his body would overflow with heaven and earth aura, potentially causing permanent damage to his meridians and veins.
"My physical force with one hand, without using heaven and earth aura, is 100,000 kg. Using aura, it increases almost fivefold to 500,000 kg, which is almost equal to a 3rd innate expert. This is a significant leap in strength," Lin Lee muttered with a smile, then suppressed his excitement.
"It's time to break through innate. I am not like those idiot protagonists in novels who suppress their strength for some foolish reason, in order to be abused by villains later. I will surpass everyone, especially those villains without anyone knowing and deal with problems decisively," he muttered to himself, glancing in the direction of the Silver Moon Forest.
Feature Step!
His figure flickered, and nearby clan wall guards were left confused as a swift wind passed beside them. Due to his Bead spirit concealment, no one can detect his presence.
Afterimages flashed through the forest, and Lin Lee silently appeared on a previous hill, gazing at the canyon with a smile.
"This Feature Step is truly amazing. Its artistic conception feels like the wind frictionlessly aiding my steps to reach a destination." He muttered thoughtfully.
Looking up at the starry sky,
After a while,
Lin Lee punched the hill using artistic conception.
Nine Echo Fist!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Whole hill shook, even the surrounding land trembled. Nine echoes spread through the surrounding in a huge range.
"Amazing, this is called strength." Lin Lee muttered with a smile, looking at his fist.
Looking at deep cave in front of him was produced by his one strike only, he felt admiration,
"Well, this place is perfect, very remote and safe for now, good for breakthrough."
After closing the entrance with a boulder, he sat cross-legged inside it, preparing for his breakthrough. Let spirit bead conceal his presence.
Instantly, his bead spirit appeared behind his head, enlarging at an alarming rate to a size of 2.5 feet.
It stopped expanding, then started rotating rapidly, absorbing heaven and earth aura from ten miles around like a whale sucking in ocean water.
Feeling extreme pressure in his body, as if aura will burst his body.
'It seems those rumors are lies. You don't need to prepare thousands of types of medicine or wait for a heaven and earth opportunity in order to break through major realm. Those things only those with weak talent would need.'
'If i can easily upgrade from the 1st to the 10th level in the martial artist realm, then why would i need all that extra stuff during innate breakthrough?' Lin Lee thought to himself, then shook his head, closed his eyes, and began guiding the heaven and earth aura devoured by bead spirit and converted by the nanobots.
