Chapter 320: The Promise of Yun Lan!
"Not long ago, that old man Fa Ma gave me a Three-Winged Qing Ling Pill, asking me to break through to Six-Star Dou Shi, and now you're throwing four of them at me, it's a bit too much," Jiang Lin said as he looked at the small vial of pills in his hand, a wry smile on his face.
"The materials I've collected these days can only make this many. Excluding the one I used, the remaining four are here." Xiao Yan, who had already reached Two-Star Dou Shi, scratched his head and smiled at Jiang Lin.
In the past few days, aside from the Three-Winged Qing Ling Pill he made during the Alchemist Competition, Xiao Yan had made five in total and kept four for Jiang Lin, leaving one for himself. However, when he found that his cultivation speed was too fast, he realized that he had no use for more pills.
With the fire attribute crystal core's double cultivation experience, Xiao Yan had already reached Nine-Star Dou Shi before even completing the first Three-Winged Qing Ling Pill. Realizing it was a waste, he used his intense cultivation speed to break through Dou Shi and then took the pill, advancing to Two-Star Dou Shi.
At the Dou Shi stage, one Three-Winged Qing Ling Pill would only save Xiao Yan about half a month. It was better to leave them for Jiang Lin to experience the "joy" of popping pills.
"So, how's your cultivation speed at the Dou Shi stage?" Jiang Lin finally accepted the pouch of pills Xiao Yan offered and took out a bag of Fourth-Class Crystal Pills, handing them to Xiao Yan. "I made a few Fourth-Class Crystals that can help refine a Third-Class body. With your current physique at the late Two-Star, you should be able to absorb the Fourth-Class Crystal Pills."
"Thanks, Brother Lin!" Xiao Yan happily accepted the large bag of Fourth-Class Crystal Pills. These were the most powerful body refining pills in this world. After eating them, Xiao Yan wouldn't need to practice any body refining techniques, and his body would reach the Third-Class level, allowing him to fight against Third-Class Magical Beasts head-on!
If Xiao Yan didn't develop a resistance to the Three-Winged Qing Ling Pills, Jiang Lin would have no problem taking them too. Combined, they could create an absolute monster that would level up just by eating!
Of course, the downside of dual cultivation might be that neither the cultivation pills nor the crystal pills would work anymore.
"With the help of the fire crystal core, I can almost upgrade one star every month at Dou Shi. I wonder if the speed will slow down after reaching Seven-Star or Eight-Star. But even if it does, with the pills, I'll still break through to Dou Ling before I turn twenty!" Xiao Yan said, still excited. Since meeting Jiang Lin, his cultivation speed had been even faster than when he took pills!
After all, pills could only be taken once or twice, but the fire crystal core doubled Xiao Yan's cultivation speed before reaching Dou Huang!
'If I can slay a Seven-Star Fire Elemental Beast, I can double my cultivation speed even for Dou Huang!' Xiao Yan sometimes thought unrealistically in his mind.
Well, the temptation of double cultivation speed was indeed strong. Even Xiao Yan couldn't help but think about hunting higher-level beasts to speed up his breakthroughs.
Beast: "Damn!!! You son of a b**** with no magic core!!!"
"Hmm?" Jiang Lin's face darkened when he heard Xiao Yan's upgrade speed, but quickly realized that this was because Xiao Yan had a double cultivation experience buff, something Jiang Lin didn't have. This meant Xiao Yan was catching up to Jiang Lin's base cultivation speed, and Jiang Lin also didn't need to use the pills as much—his physique was the real foundation.
"Well, that's fast. I heard Nalan Yanran is also a Dou Shi. If you had another year, you'd crush her in terms of cultivation," Jiang Lin said.
"Hahaha, don't worry, I'll crush that woman with my strength!" Xiao Yan laughed heartily, clearly confident in his abilities.
"Uh..." Jiang Lin awkwardly scratched his head and carefully reminded, "You still shouldn't be too careless. When fighting a rabbit, even a lion uses all its strength."
Jiang Lin recalled that he had given Yun Yun a large bag of Crystal Pills, and with Yun Yun's protective nature, Nalan Yanran would definitely share some of them. Though her power couldn't match Xiao Yan's, Nalan Yanran was a speed-type fighter, and even a small increase in strength could result in explosive damage.
"Mm, Brother Lin is right. Even if I'm confident, I shouldn't let my guard down!" Xiao Yan nodded, agreeing with Jiang Lin's point. He didn't know that Jiang Lin had secretly aided his opponent, but he knew that in the battle three days from now, he couldn't afford to lose!
"By the way, Brother Lin, my battle armor..."
"Don't worry, I've already mostly made it during the past few days when I was bored. When the time comes, I'll give you a grand entrance. Also, I made a small adjustment to your Fire-Xuan Heavy Hammer. I've removed the second form's activation condition. You can now communicate with the weapon spirit and use it as a ranged Dou Qi cannon. Of course, you need to be at least Dou Shi to use it. You know, a lot of my designs require Dou Qi to be released to control them. Otherwise, I might have to let the weapon spirit take over."
To prevent Xiao Yan from getting frustrated when he couldn't shoot, Jiang Lin also added a "premature release" mode.
Xiao Yan: "Uh... Brother Lin, can we use a more normal name for this?"
After all, if Xiao Yan got too impatient and fired the Fire-Xuan Heavy Cannon at full power, it might blow up the Yun Lan Sect! Jiang Lin still had some ties with the Yun Lan Sect and couldn't let Xiao Yan embarrass them.
"Hahaha, with Brother Lin saying that, I'm at ease! By the way, Brother Lin, there's something I want to mention."
"You're talking about Pei Xuan, right?"
"Ah? Brother Lin knew?"
"Fool!" Medicine Dust's voice suddenly echoed in Xiao Yan's heart. "If you can sense it, don't you think the Spirit Race can't sense it?"
"Ah? What I meant was that Pei Xuan has become more intelligent than before," Xiao Yan said with a helpless expression. Pei Xuan had been with Jiang Lin for a while, and Xiao Yan noticed that the second generation of Pei Xuan seemed more intelligent than the first.
"Well, well, rest up and get ready for the meeting in three days. The Pei Xuan thing..."
"Actually, we already had the answer from the beginning."
