I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1001 It’s Time to Break Through, Go Into Seclusion

Lin Hongfeng was extremely excited. Stepping into the Divine Abilities Stage was the long-standing hope of their clan. Ever since his ancestor had stepped into the Divine Abilities Stage, it had been a long time since anyone else had reached that level.

It was an accident that the ancestor had become a Divine. They did not have a complete inheritance, so they could not be like the sects and clans that had inheritances, where their descendants could enter the Divine Abilities Stage continuously.

But now, Lin Hongfeng had the opportunity to enter the Divine Abilities Stage. There was no doubt what a Divine meant to Tianhe. If he had the strength of a Divine, he would not have been so passive and had to bow to Li Yan. In the end, even Bao Anzhi had been drawn out.

To him, this promise was even more important than anything else.

Chu Yunfan nodded. He could understand Lin Hongfeng’s excitement. Before he had entered the Divine Abilities Stage, he had also longed to enter this stage one day as it was a whole new realm.

However, compared to this legacy pearl, the value of a Divinity Nourishment Pill was nothing. He had many Divinity Nourishment Pills on hand, but he could not as easily obtain a legacy pearl.

“I have a pill on hand called the Divinity Nourishment Pill. With your current peak Innate cultivation, there’s at least a seventy percent chance that you’ll be able to break through to the Divine Abilities Stage.”

Lin Hongfeng recovered from his excitement, pondered for a moment, and then said, “Mister Chu, can I give the pill to someone else?”

“Who do you want to give it to?” Chu Yunfan asked.

“My son, Lin Haoren,” Lin Hongfeng said bluntly.

Chu Yunfan looked at Lin Hongfeng’s determined expression. For Lin Hongfeng, the temptation of entering the Divine Abilities Stage was great, but he was willing to give this opportunity to his son. This was what parents were like.

As for why he did not give it Lin Chenxi, the reason was easy to guess. Everyone knew that Lin Chenxi was his disciple. Would Chu Yunfan let his own disciple suffer?

That was obviously impossible.

Chu Yunfan’s parents were the same. If they could, they would probably give up everything for him.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan smiled and nodded, “No problem. I’m giving it to you. It’s your business who you want to gift it to.”

“Thank you, Mr. Chu!” Lin Hongfeng said gratefully.

“No need for thanks. To me, the value of this legacy pearl far exceeds that of a Divinity Nourishment Pill,” Chu Yunfan said with a smile.

“It’s a pity that all parents are so virtuous. How about this? Keep the Divinity Nourishment Pill for yourself. I can make you a second one. But the medicinal herbs required will have to be collected by your city. One of the main ingredients is the inner core of a Divine monster. If you become a Divine, I believe you’ll be able to obtain one.”

Chu Yunfan was touched by Lin Hongfeng’s words and was willing to make another pill for him. After all, all the main and supplementary ingredients could be collected by Tianhe. With his current cultivation, it was not difficult to refine a Divinity Nourishment Pill.

“Really? That’s great! Thank you, Mr. Chu!”

Lin Hongfeng was so excited that he couldn’t control himself. He didn’t expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise. He didn’t know that it was his affection for Lin Haoren that made Chu Yunfan think of his own parents, which in turned moved Chu Yunfan.

“Oh, by the way, Mr. Chu. Three months from now, a few neighboring cities will be holding a joint competition. If you’re able…” Lin Hongfeng looked at Chu Yunfan with a troubled expression.

“You want me to take action? What’s the situation?” Chu Yunfan said.

Lin Hongfeng then told him the whole story. It turned out that there was a spirit stone mine nearby. This mine was the lifeline of several nearby cities. Most of the spirit stones used by the nearby martial artists for cultivation were obtained from it.

At the same time, it was also the most important source of wealth for these cities. In the early years, these cities had fought each other over the mine and were almost destroyed by foreign forces.

Since then, several cities had come to an agreement to jointly manage this spirit stone mine. They send people to manage and mine it together. The final goods produced would be divided according to a certain proportion.

As for how to divide it, it would depend on the competition that was held once every three years. Whoever was stronger would naturally get more, while the weaker one would get less.

Spirit stones were related to a martial artist’s cultivation. If they received fewer spirit stones one time, they would naturally be weaker the next time around. The fewer they received, the more vicious the cycle.

In the end, it would become a situation where the strong would remain strong and the weak would remain weak.

In the past, the representative of Tianhe had always been the experts of the Fluttering Blooms. But now, because Chu Yunfan had killed Divines one after another, the Fluttering Blooms had been destroyed and could no longer provide protection for Tianhe.

This was the fundamental reason why Lin Hongfeng paid such a high price to invite Li Yan to take charge. Without a Divine at the helm, Tianhe would not have any right to speak. The possibility of being deprived of the right to participate in the distribution of benefits was very high.

Because similar things had happened before, Lin Hongfeng was very worried.

“I see,” Chu Yunfan nodded and said.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Chu. There’s no need for you to do anything. The battles at the front are all between the experts below, and the final distribution is decided by the Divines. There are still three months left, and with the Divinity Nourishment Pill that you’ve given me, I should be able to enter the Divine Abilities Stage too. When the time comes, I’ll have to trouble you to help me hold the line, Mr. Chu,” Lin Hongfeng said quickly.

He didn’t want to fight for first place. He just wanted to keep his current share. In this situation, he felt that he could deal with it alone, and Chu Yunfan was just insurance.

“In that case, I’ll go and take a look,” Chu Yunfan muttered to himself but he did not refuse. After all, he was only here to support them.

He came to the Holy Land, so he naturally had to gain a deeper understanding of the place.

On top of that, in a few months time, his strength should improve even further. At that time, there should not be many people in the Holy Land who could stand up to him. Even if someone were to cause trouble at this competition, it would not be a big deal.

“Thank you, Mr. Chu,” Lin Hongfeng said quickly. He felt that he was really lucky today.

After Chu Yunfan put away the legacy pearl into the Mountain River Diagram, he took out a medicine bottle. Inside the bottle was the Divinity Nourishment Pill.

“This is the Divinity Nourishment Pill,” Chu Yunfan said, “I’m going to borrow a room of yours for secluded cultivation. It’s time for me to improve myself.”
