C867 To Open up a Cave
C867 To Open up a Cave
Lin Cheng explained, "You should understand this principle. When you use the most ordinary flame... If you can refine a first grade pill to the third revolution, then if you use the Blue Fire... Perhaps you can refine to the fourth transformation, the fifth transformation... Even higher grade.
But if you keep using Blue Fire, then once you change to ordinary flames... He might not even be able to refine a fully formed pill. Therefore, in the beginning, you can only learn how to control Blue Fire. You can only use the Blue Fire when your skill in alchemy is high enough."
Green Snake immediately understood when he heard that. She nodded and said, "Young Master, I understand."
She naturally understood this principle. The level of skill in alchemy directly determined the quality of the pill refined.
Alchemists with high skill could use the most ordinary medicinal herbs. Refining! If the alchemist was a poor alchemist, he or she would be able to concoct the pill with the best quality. Even if he was given a supreme-grade spirit herb, Spirit Plant, he might not be able to concoct the pill in the end. It might even be a waste of those high grade materials.
Obviously, Lin Cheng's intention was to let her become an alchemist with high skill in alchemy. Even if she used ordinary ingredients, she would still be able to refine a high grade pill. At that time, if she were to use the Blue Fire again... That would naturally achieve the effect of twice the result with half the effort. It might even be possible to refine a high grade pill that surpassed her own cultivation realm.
"Young Master, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!"
Green Snake firmly said.
Lin Cheng shook his head and smiled. "You are wrong. This is not to let me down, but to have some expectations for yourself."
"Yes!"
Green Snake immediately nodded.
Lin Cheng smiled. He knew that Green Snake was very smart and could understand his words.
In fact, Lin Cheng did not have high expectations for Green Snake. If there was, it was because of the identity of a friend. He hoped that Green Snake could go further.
That's right!
Although Green Snake was Lin Cheng's maid, in his heart, he rarely treated her as a maid. Instead, he treated her as his friend.
Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, Lin Cheng did not need a maid. In his previous life, he wandered around the Dongzhou alone. He would pick the herbs he needed, and concoct the pills himself. As for the items he needed, he got them from selling the pill.
Even if he later became the so-called Medicine King, he would still be famous in Mortal Realm. Even the father who saved Ann Ya, the emperor, did not accept the gifts from Ann Ya and the royal family. He only accepted a quiet place that Ann Ya provided him, which was later called Medicine King Valley.
However, it was also there that he was betrayed by Zuo Mu, Ann Ya, and the others. They surrounded him and killed him in the end.
During that period of time, the one who had been by his side the longest. At that time, Zuo Mu was the only one who had followed him, but he had never treated Zuo Mu as a servant. He was not even a guard, but a friend of Zuo Mu. Strictly speaking, the relationship between the two could be considered to be taking what they needed.
Zuo Mu needed the pill that Lin Cheng refined.
Lin Cheng needed the powerful combat strength of Zuo Mu, who was a Cultivating Warrior, to stop some people who did not comply with his rules, or some people who coveted the pill that he refined.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, he and Zuo Mu were merely taking what they needed. Or perhaps some people would think that Zuo Mu was his guard. Or even his servant, but in reality, these words were not right. Only Lin Cheng and Zuo Mu understood that he really thought of Zuo Mu as a friend.
Of course, if Lin Cheng needed Zuo Mu's combat strength, the two of them did take what they needed, and that was why they became friends. But in fact, that was because no one else understood Lin Cheng's personality.
Even if they each took what they needed, it would not be so easy to become Lin Cheng's friend.
At that time, Lin Cheng already had the title of Medicine King. If Lin Cheng wanted to protect him at that time, he only needed to wave his hand. No one knew how many powerful Cultivating Warriors would line up to be his guard. For the cultivator, a mere Medicine King from the Mortal Realm was nothing. Even an alchemist from the Cultivation Realm was not someone Lin Cheng could compare with.
However, in the Mortal Realm, Lin Cheng was indeed a Medicine King. Many people dreamed of following Lin Cheng and becoming his guard, or even serving him as a servant.
Zuo Mu was able to follow Lin Cheng because of their similar personalities. That was why they became friends, not because of other reasons.
It was the same in this life. Lin Cheng's only friend was probably Zhou Chuan.
However, when he first met Zhou Chuan, it was because both of them had a purpose. At that time... All of them wanted to explore the secret realm left behind by Monarch of Homo Clan. Zhou Chuan knew much more about the secret realm than Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng's combat strength was stronger than Zhou Chuan's, and at the same time, he also knew how to concoct pills.
Therefore, the reason why Lin Cheng and Zhou Chuan were able to walk together in the beginning was because they each had their own needs.
But after that, it was no longer the case.
Lin Cheng admired Zhou Chuan's character very much. Similarly, Zhou Chuan admired Lin Cheng's determination and his unyielding character. That was why the two of them became friends.
Now, Green Snake was the same.
Perhaps it was just a deal between him and Green Snake from the beginning, but it was precisely because of their personalities that they became friends. That was why Green Snake was able to follow Lin Cheng for such a long time. In fact, ever since he entered the Tianluo Secret Realm for the first time, there was nothing on Green Snake that Lin Cheng needed. According to the rules of the Cultivation Realm, at that time, besides being Lin Cheng's maidservant, Green Snake would do his best. There was really nothing that Green Snake could give.
If it was her body, there was nothing else in the Cultivation Realm. It was just that beautiful girls were never lacking, because they cultivated and absorbed spiritual energy. No matter how ordinary a girl's appearance was, as her cultivation level increased, she would become more and more attractive. Furthermore, Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao.
Furthermore, even if Zhu Ziqiao was not by his side at that time, with Lin Cheng's alchemy skills, as long as he was willing, he would definitely not lack women.
It was only because Lin Cheng admired Green Snake's temperament that he gradually treated her as a friend.
Fortunately, whether it was Zhou Chuan or Green Snake, Lin Cheng did not make a mistake regarding the two of them. When Lin Cheng was at his most dangerous moment, Zhou Chuan was also trying his best to help him. He even went against his sister, Zhou Changyue.
There was no need to mention Green Snake. If it wasn't for this, Lin Cheng naturally wouldn't have taught her how to refine Nine-revolution Divine Pill.
That was why Lin Cheng said that Green Snake should have high expectations for herself, because everything that she obtained today was exchanged with her past sacrifices.
If Lin Cheng was hunted down in Tianluo Secret Realm, Green Snake would have chosen to betray him. Or perhaps... Stay away from him. If Lin Cheng was surrounded by those powerful beings earlier... Green Snake chose to escape or counterattack. Then what awaited Green Snake today would not be Lin Cheng's teachings again.
Therefore, the one who should have high expectations for Green Snake was herself.
Green Snake understood what Lin Cheng meant, but in her heart, she did not agree with what Lin Cheng said. In addition to gratitude, she was also somewhat frightened.
Because she had never placed herself in the position of Lin Cheng's friend. Lin Cheng had done her a great favor. She was Lin Cheng's maid. She used to be Lin Cheng's maid. But now... It would be the same in the future. It would never change.
Green Snake could tell that Lin Cheng treated her as a friend. This made Green Snake a little frightened, even if Lin Cheng did not owe her anything. However, Lin Cheng's Great Power Stage wasn't considered a friend at all. Because the gap between them was just too great.
Therefore, Green Snake agreed with what Lin Cheng said in his heart. She would have high expectations for herself. However, her expectations... It wasn't because she wanted to become a top alchemist, but because she didn't want to let down Lin Cheng's kindness.
She did not realize that it was because of her temperament that Lin Cheng valued her more.
After leaving Green Snake's place, Lin Cheng returned to his residence in the Longevity Sect. He chose a mountain peak within the range of the Longevity Sect. He opened up a cave on top of it. To him, this was... It was simply too simple.
Because with his current realm, if he still lived in the Longevity Sect... That wouldn't be appropriate, because he could make others feel a tremendous pressure at any time. It wasn't because of his identity and status, but because of his cultivation realm as a mighty figure. He already had a great pressure to begin with. If it was someone weaker than him... It was almost impossible for them to catch their breath in front of him, or even stand up.
The last time Lin Cheng chose those rogue cultivators who consumed the Nine-revolution Divine Pill, he had completely concealed his aura. Otherwise, his Qi alone would be enough to suppress those rogue cultivators, causing them to be unable to stand. The weaker ones might even cause the Sea of Spirit Power to collapse. Not to mention the Elemental Spirit and the Zifu.

When facing a mighty figure, it was a type of pressure that came from the heavens and the earth. A mighty figure controlling the natural laws of the heavens and the earth was equivalent to the heavens.
Therefore, if Lin Cheng continued to live in the Longevity Sect, he wouldn't be able to cultivate at all. If he wasn't careful, his pressure might shatter the meridians of some people, or cause the Zifu of some disciples to collapse and the Elemental Spirit to disperse.
Therefore, Lin Cheng chose to stay within the range of the Longevity Sect, which had already been destroyed. He chose a mountain peak and opened up a cave, although it wasn't too far away from the Longevity Sect. However, at least Lin Cheng could set up a formation there. Now, the formation on the main peak of the Longevity Sect could also be activated. Only by doing so could the disciples not be affected.
The formation that Lin Cheng set up came from the only inheritance of the Longevity Sect. There were still some inheritances that were left behind during the catastrophe that almost destroyed the Longevity Sect.
