Chapter 7: Cultivating Spirit Technique (Seeking Collection)

  Lin Tianyang's father, Lin Andong, was originally the alchemist of the Lin family, so Lin Tianyang had also learned some alchemy skills since he was young. Although he was far inferior to his father, he still had some foundation, and there were already finished dan furnaces available.

  Lin Tianyang went to the town, sold some items and got nearly a thousand spirit stones. After buying enough auxiliary materials for refining the Nourishing Spirit Pill, Lin Tianyang returned to his small cottage, activated the prohibition spell array, so that others wouldn't come to disturb him casually, then started refining the pill.

  Because he had never refined the Nourishing Spirit Pill before, Lin Tianyang consecutively failed to refine two furnaces, and it wasn't until the third furnace that he finally succeeded. After succeeding with one furnace, the subsequent ones became much simpler, although occasional accidents still occurred, but overall his success rate reached over 80%.

  After successfully refining the Nourishing Spirit Pill, Lin Tianyang began to cultivate the Spiritual Refining Technique.

  According to the method described in the manual, when practicing this spiritual exercise, one's consciousness will produce a strong stinging sensation, which is why it is necessary to take the nourishing spirit pill to alleviate it. However, Lin Tianyang practiced for seven or eight days and found that except for feeling a bit dizzy and nauseous at first, there were no abnormal reactions after two or three days, and his consciousness began to grow significantly with practice. This made Lin Tianyang feel very strange, as if the side effects of the spiritual exercise had no effect on him at all.

  Lin Tianyang couldn't understand it, and in the end could only attribute it to himself being a transmigrator or having something to do with the Tower of Heaven. Anyway, as long as his divine sense grew, Lin Tianyang didn't care about anything else.

  A few more days passed and the month-long deadline was met, Lin Tianyang once again entered the Tower of Heaven to continue his days of killing monsters, leveling up and equipping himself.

  In front of and behind the Tian Tian Tower, Lin Tianyang made seven trips in and out, reaping a considerable harvest. He even managed to gather all the main ingredients for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, except for the Purple Ape Flower, which he only had three of. This quantity made Lin Tianyang feel that if his luck was bad, he might not be able to refine even one Foundation Establishment Pill. It seemed that he could only wait a few more days before trying again. Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry.

  Actually, these few times in and out of Tongtian Tower have been completely different from the beginning. Although still working hard to find all kinds of treasures, every time I encounter a relatively powerful demon beast, Lin Tianyang starts to hone his strength on the premise that he can defeat the opponent with confidence. Although it may delay collecting treasure for a while, with continuous battles against demons, Lin Tianyang himself feels that his combat experience is growing day by day, and his control over magic is more precise, and the use of magic tricks is more proficient and flexible.

  After several times later, every time he entered, he would carefully experience the gains and losses inside, integrate some of the things he had realized, and then enter again. By the time this month's entries and exits from Tongtian Tower were used up, Lin Tianyang felt that his current self, even if still like when he first held Huo Lin Sword and Yinsha Shield, facing an ice fire wolf such a ranked demon beast, also had the power to fight once.

  Lin Tianyang returned to Fang City and prepared for his next cycle of entering Tongtian Tower.

  After selling more than 20 low-grade talismans at a relatively familiar stall, Lin Tianyang quickly arrived at a stall owner who specialized in collecting low-grade elixirs. However, upon arrival, he saw Fang's family member Fang Jin, whom he had defeated with his true treasure, and his own cousin, who was always dissatisfied with him, arguing incessantly.

  The stall owner had done business with Lin Tianyang several times and recognized him. As soon as he saw him coming, he immediately greeted him.

  He greeted himself, Lin Tianyang couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Brother Liu, what's going on?"

  At this time, Fang Jin also saw Lin Tianyang and saw that he seemed to be familiar with the stall owner. Without waiting for the stall owner to explain, he immediately shouted: "Stall owner, I said why didn't you wait for me to come back before selling things to him? It turns out that you have a deep relationship with the Lin family!"

  The stall owner with the surname Liu was also annoyed by this. "I don't have any relationship with the Lin family, you wanted to buy this bottle of Qingling Dan at first but didn't leave any deposit or anything, and then you just left, how would I know when you'd come back or if you'd even come back? Since someone else wants to buy it now, of course I'm going to sell it!"

  "Did you hear that, Fang Jin!" Lin Tianyao heard the stall owner speaking to himself and also shouted proudly.

  Fang Jin's face changed, and he angrily said: "You didn't pay with spirit stones either, shopkeeper. I won't talk to you anymore. Since you're doing business, of course, you want to earn more. For this bottle of Qingling Dan, I'm willing to add ten more spirit stones!"

  As soon as Fang Jin expressed his willingness to increase the price, the merchant surnamed Liu immediately showed his true nature and a smile appeared on his face.

  Lin Tianyao spoke up at once, letting out a cold snort as he said, "I'm willing to add twenty more spirit stones!"

  As soon as Lin Tianyao also raised the price, Fang Jin became somewhat enraged and continued to shout: "I am willing to add fifty more spirit stones, Lin Tianyao, you have the guts to continue adding!"

  Although the Qingling Dan is expensive, adding a Ling Stone would be too much. However, when Lin Tianyao saw Fang Jin confronting him, he couldn't back down. Thinking that he didn't have many Ling Stones on him anyway, he took out a talisman and tossed it in front of the stall owner, saying: "I'm willing to add another Golden Vajra Talisman!"

  The stall owner saw the talisman and immediately picked it up and returned it to Lin Tianyao, saying: "Sorry, I don't accept talismans here!"

  As soon as the stall owner refused to sell him the talisman, Lin Tianyao's face turned slightly red as he put the talisman away and then said to Lin Tianyang: "Tianyang, lend me twenty spirit stones, I'll return them to you later!"

  Lin Tianyang couldn't help but sneer inwardly when he heard this guy actually asking him to lend him a Spirit Stone. As someone who was also somewhat proud and arrogant, he didn't respond, instead directly taking the bottle of Qingling Dan from in front of the stall owner surnamed Liu.

  Lin Tianyao saw Lin Tianyang pick up the Qingling Dan and felt a sense of pride in his heart, thinking that his elder brother was quite aware of the situation and knew that his future prospects would be limitless after going to the Leiyan Sect. He also started to curry favor with him, but just as he thought so, he saw Lin Tianyang directly hand the Qingling Dan over to Fang Jin's hands.

  "Lin Tianyang, what are you doing?" Lin Tianyao shouted loudly as soon as he saw him.

  He shouted at him, Lin Tianyang coldly snorted and said: "You should know how much the Qingling Dan is worth, Fang Jin added 50 Ling stones which was already overpriced. You still want to raise the price? Even if you win, what's the use? Others will just say you're being arrogant!"

  "Lin Tianyang, how dare you humiliate me! Don't think that just because Grandfather favors you, you're superior!" Lin Tianyao shouted at Lin Tianyang in a fit of rage.

  "I'm just being realistic!" Lin Tianyang didn't want to bother with him anymore and wasn't planning on selling the medicine immediately, so he decided to leave first. Just as he was about to walk out of the crowd, Lin Tianyao suddenly appeared in front of him.

  "What do you want to do?" Lin Tianyang asked with a hint of anger.

  "I want to compete with you to see who's better! I don't believe that you're really stronger than me!" As he spoke, he directly unsheathed a flying sword.
