Chapter 174 Crisis
Just like that, the Demon Refining Palace temporarily found peace.
On this day, Lin Shiyi stayed alone in the cabinet of the main hall, studying the recipes of many elixirs for the Divine Transformation cultivators.
These pill recipes are very similar to those in the lower realm, except for the different medicinal materials used, the refining methods can be said to be exactly the same. Things like Huiyuan Dan, Tianyuan San, and other pills that replenish vital energy, their refining methods and effects are similar to the Huiqi Dan and Dahuan Dan in the lower realm, except that the energy they replenish is different.
From this, it can be seen that some alchemy methods in the lower world must have been passed down from this star field.
Lin Shiyi did not explore the matter too much. He used his essence and blood as a guide to refine some very ordinary Huiyuan Pills as usual and packed them one by one. As for the more precious immortal herbs sent by Qin Yue, he collected them one by one and filled his pocket.
Since the life-changing pill had such miraculous effects, Lu Qingyao naturally had a preconceived notion that Lin Shiyi must need top-quality medicinal materials to refine it. However, she did not expect that most of these extremely precious immortal herbs were not used, but were instead embezzled by Lin Shiyi.
These days, he has refined a lot of Huiyuan Pills and also coveted many precious immortal herbs from the Demon Refining Palace. After opening the furnace, he would chat with Qin Yue to understand the general structure of this star field.
According to what Qin Yue knew, this star field was called the Hunyuan Star Realm. Its scope was boundless and no one knew its extent. It contained countless small realms and had existed for who knows how many years.
Among the four major forces, except for the Demon Refining Palace which was established not long ago, the other three forces have existed for many years.
The Divine Palace, the Chaos Hall, and the Jade Maiden Pavilion, these three forces are all powerful and well-rooted, each occupying a resource-rich Yuanjing mine, and have countless disciples. Among them, cultivators in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation are only middle-level, and cultivators at the peak of the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation are the high-level. Not only that, it is said that the God King of the Divine Palace, the Red Refining God of the Chaos Hall, and the Chaste Saint of the Jade Maiden Pavilion are all powerful beings in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation.
In addition to the four forces, there are also many independent cultivators in the Hunyuan Star Realm. They are unwilling to submit to any force, but wander around the star field, looking for other Yuanjing mines. There are quite a few such cultivators, and their cultivation levels vary, but most of them hide in one place and will not show up easily.
After learning so much information, Lin Shiyi began to have some doubts about the existence of the Demon Refining Palace.
The person with the highest cultivation level in the Demon Refining Palace is the Palace Master Lu Qingyao, but her cultivation level is only at the peak of the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. In the eyes of the other three major forces, her cultivation level is at best that of a high-level figure in a force. But even so, she actually founded the Demon Refining Palace and said that she wanted to confront the Palace of Gods. Isn't this a joke?
Lin Shiyi couldn't figure it out, and Qin Yue couldn't explain it either, so he decided to ask Lu Qingyao about these things later. For now, he decided to refine more Huiyuan Pills in case of emergency.
Time passed quickly. After many days, Lin Shiyi had refined hundreds of Huiyuan Pills containing essence and blood. He took the pills out of the cabinet, but found that the hall was empty.
Qin Yue, who served outside the door day and night, disappeared. Not only that, Lu Qingyao's presence also disappeared without a trace.
Lin Shiyi walked around in the spacious hall. Under the dim blue light, the huge Yuan crystal on the high platform attracted his attention.
"Would you like to try to absorb it now while no one is around?"
He hesitated at first, but then rejected the idea.
It's already extremely good that he can hide in the Demon Refining Palace now. If he absorbs all of Lu Qingyao's intermediate-level Yuan Crystal, she will definitely not be happy. It is better for him to show his own value first and let her send the Yuan Crystal to him on her own initiative.
Lin Shiyi believed that as long as Lu Qingyao tasted the benefits of the Qiankun Pill, she would think things through.
Thinking of this, he did not walk around, but sat obediently on the chair below, waiting silently.
He sat there for a while, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the blue night pearl was extremely unpleasant. Lu Qingyao really had bad taste. She turned such a nice hall into something like the underworld.
Thinking of this, Lin Shiyi took out a night-shining pearl from his storage bag and suspended it on the ceiling of the hall. Suddenly, the entire hall became much brighter and did not look so scary anymore.
At this time, the stone door of the hall slowly opened. Lin Shi looked closely and saw Lu Qingyao and Qin Yue flying in together.
Seeing that both women looked unhappy, Lin Shiyi stepped forward and asked, "Senior Sister Lu, what happened outside?"
Lu Qingyao first looked around the hall, and seeing the night pearl emitting bright white light, she didn't say anything, but said in annoyance: "Today, the Jade Maiden Pavilion has sent envoys, and I naturally have to go to greet them in person. But I didn't expect that they didn't come to give Yuanjing, but to ask for Yuanjing. They also said that the Jade Maiden Pavilion has protected the Demon Refining Palace for a long time, and they should receive some compensation. But they asked for ten years of intermediate Yuanjing. How can I give it to you?"
Hearing this, Lin Shiyi asked cautiously, "Did they part on bad terms?"
Lu Qingyao snorted and flew towards the phoenix chair on the platform with a grim look on her face.
Qin Yue, who was standing by, whispered, "The people from the Jade Maiden Pavilion left, but they made it clear that they would no longer protect the Demon Refining Palace. The Palace Master is worried about this."
Lin Shiyi nodded, then looked at Lu Qingyao on the high platform and said, "Senior Sister Lu, if that's the case, we don't have to look at their faces anymore. Instead of relying on others, why don't we make ourselves bigger and stronger?"
Under the bright white light, Lu Qingyao's expression was clearly seen. Sometimes she frowned, sometimes she gritted her teeth, and sometimes her eyes lit up as if she had thought of a good idea, but after thinking carefully, she angrily overturned her idea.
"I also want to do what you said, but the Jade Maiden Pavilion is not an ordinary force. If they come to attack, the Demon Refining Palace will definitely not be able to resist..."
Lu Qingyao was so worried that she sighed continuously. She had long lost her previous calm and majestic demeanor.
The Yuan Crystal Mine is just behind the Demon Refining Palace, which is a small interface with few living creatures. Although there are many Yuan Crystals in the interface, most of them are low-level. The few mid-level Yuan Crystals have basically been taken away. The age of the remaining mid-level Yuan Crystals is only enough for her and the other three offering monks to use for five years. She used to receive some financial support from the Jade Maiden Pavilion, but now they are not helping her anymore and are asking for ten years' worth of mid-level Yuan Crystals. This is simply adding insult to injury.
Seeing this, Lin Shiyi thought for a while and said, "Senior Sister Lu, I have a way to help the Demon Refining Palace survive this crisis, but I don't know if you have the courage to do it."
Lu Qingyao was at a loss as to what to do, but upon hearing these words she immediately perked up.
"If you have any ideas, just tell us now. Don't keep us in suspense now."
