Chapter 358: Chapter 59 Searching for a 4th-Grade Alchemist
“Claiming Li Yan Island, is there any particular reason for that?” Lin Jing then asked.
After speaking, he also expressed his own opinion:
“I think that we would be somewhat safer within Bihai City.”
Yan Wanfei, after listening, immediately agreed, “I also think that staying in Bihai City is safer…”
Lu Youjiu nodded and said,
“Brother Lin is right; Bihai City is indeed safe.”
“However…”
“We can’t always hide within Bihai City. If we want to eliminate the threat from the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, I believe we should take the initiative.”
“Take the initiative…?” Lin Jing murmured thoughtfully upon hearing this.
Afterward, Lu Youjiu continued speaking:
“Actually…”
“There is one more thing, which I haven’t told you all about yet.”
“Brother Ji, what is it?” Yan Wanfei asked with curiosity.
Lin Jing also looked up at Lu Youjiu.
Lu Youjiu then said:
“After this great battle, I’ve had some insights. I estimate that it won’t be long before I can break through to the Golden Core Peak.”
“Once I enter the Golden Core Stage, I want to try and make a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm in the following days.”
“And as for San He, the Fifth-Rank Trap-Killing Formation on this island is perfect for him to study. As our mission is already complete, once San He gets hold of that Formation Commentary, he can also try to break through to a Fifth-Rank Array Master.”
“Once San He reaches a Fifth-Rank Array Master, he’ll be able to set up a Fifth-Rank Formation. By then, even if the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch comes, we won’t have to fear.”
“And I, after advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm, want to find him before he fully recovers and get rid of him, thereby removing our concerns once and for all.”
“What do you all think?”
Lu Youjiu’s words did make sense.
Occupying Li Yan Island, Holaw Three Rivers can study this Fifth-Rank Trap-Killing Formation.
Furthermore, Lu Youjiu needs this time to attempt breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
If they keep running around as before, once the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch fully recovers, they will no longer have any chance of survival.
After listening, Lin Jing nodded and said, “If that’s the case, it indeed could work…”
“Instead of passively defending, we should take the offensive.”
“However…”
Just as Lin Jing finished speaking, Lu Youjiu immediately continued:
“Now there’s another challenging matter…”
“What is it?” Yan Wanfei asked at this moment.
“The Nirvana Elixir!”
Seated to the side, Holaw Three Rivers spoke directly:
“To break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, Brother Ji needs the Nirvana Elixir.”
“So, we both think that while the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch is still recovering and it’s relatively safe…”
“I’ll focus on studying the Formation and Brother Ji will concentrate only on cultivating, aiming for a quick breakthrough.”
“As for the two of you, it’ll be more troublesome. You’ll need to search for the materials required to concoct the Nirvana Elixir.”
“This naturally won’t be a problem; it’s just a matter of running errands, which Brother Yan and I can take care of,” Yan Wanfei instantly agreed.
Lin Jing also nodded, indicating his agreement.
However, it was then that Yan Wanfei as if suddenly recalling something, abruptly turned his head and looked at Lu Youjiu:
“Right, Brother Ji.”
“Haven’t you been collecting the materials for concocting the Nirvana Elixir?”
“How goes the collection now?”
Lu Youjiu then spoke:
“The Nirvana Elixir requires numerous materials. Up to now, I’ve already collected several rather rare Spirit Plants that are not commonly found in the market.”
“Some are not hard to find and can even be directly bought, so those I haven’t collected.”
“All the above is not a problem…”
“The key issue now is that I still lack a critical auxiliary herb for concocting the Nirvana Elixir, the Thousand Spirit Divine Leaf.”
“Besides that, the Nirvana Flower, the indispensable main herb for concocting the Nirvana Elixir, has also not been collected.”
“Regarding the auxiliary herb, the Thousand Spirit Divine Leaf, we can just issue a mission in the Covenant Hall; obtaining it shouldn’t be too difficult.”
“The main challenge lies in obtaining the main herb for the Nirvana Elixir, the Nirvana Flower.”
“The Nirvana Flower is something priceless; even if we post a mission in the Covenant Hall, it’s not guaranteed we can collect it.”
At this point…
Holaw Three Rivers suddenly spoke up, interrupting Lu Youjiu:
“Additionally, there’s another point…”
“Even if we have the materials, we still need to find an Alchemy Master, at least a Fourth Grade.”
“Alchemy Master not easy to find? Doesn’t Bihai City have them?”
“If all else fails, we can ask the Alchemical Masters of the Longyun Elixir Pavilion to take action,” Yan Wanfei commented nonchalantly.
Holaw Three Rivers then said:
“Indeed, there are Alchemy Masters in Bihai City…”
“But each of those people demands a high price.”
“A high price would be acceptable, but their success rates are also a cause for concern.”
“To entrust such crucial Elixir Medicine to them for concoction, I simply cannot be at ease.”
“Moreover…”
“Even if they luckily succeed in concoction, they demand half of the Elixir Medicine as their fee, which is outrageously exploitative.”
“As for the Longyun Elixir Pavilion, being an Ancient Alchemy Path family, their success rates are naturally much higher.”
“However, to have them concoct Elixir Medicine, you need to provide double the materials, using one set as their fee.”
“Currently, we haven’t even gathered a complete set of materials, let alone two.”
