"However, before breaking through, all the necessary pills must be prepared."
"If the spirit stones are insufficient, I can also make up for it with pills."
Lin Chen calmed his mind and took out the dan furnace to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill.
He knew very well that breaking through to the mid-Core Formation stage would not be so simple!
Otherwise, many once brilliant geniuses would be stuck in the early Core Formation stage their entire lives, unable to break through.
Now, he had to make all preparations for any unforeseen circumstances!
If any accident occurred, it would truly be a complete failure!
Due to the poor quality of the dan furnace, Lin Chen exhausted all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures he had collected, and only managed to refine twenty-odd Grade Three Spirit Gathering Pills.
"Sigh, after using so many medicinal ingredients, I only refined over twenty Grade Three Spirit Gathering Pills. It seems the quality of this refining furnace is indeed no longer sufficient!"
Seeing that so many medicinal ingredients only yielded such a small number of pills, Lin Chen was immediately dissatisfied.
For him, if he were refining Grade One pills, it would be very normal to produce over a hundred spirit pills with such a quantity of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
But now, there were so few, which was enough to show that the current refining furnace was falling behind.
However, what Lin Chen did not know was that if his words were heard by outsiders, they would probably be angered to death.
Grade Three pills were all extremely precious.
To refine them successfully, one not only needed a very good refining furnace but also had very high requirements for refining techniques and flames.
Even an ordinary Grade Three alchemist might not be able to easily refine Grade Three pills!
Let alone Lin Chen, who had refined over twenty in one go. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
"Forget it, regardless of anything else, it should be enough for now."
After calming his mind slightly, Lin Chen swallowed a pill and began to guide qi into his body, preparing to break through the barrier of the mid-Core Formation stage.
Another seven days passed in a flash. Lin Chen consumed over ten Grade Three Spirit Gathering Pills and finally broke through the last barrier!
"Mid-Core Formation stage, achieved!"
Feeling the surging spiritual energy within his body, Lin Chen was very satisfied.
Now that he had broken through to the mid-Core Formation stage, if he encountered Wu Quan Gui again, he would not be so embarrassed.
Perhaps even without Zhang Ying's formation array as assistance, he could directly kill Wu Quan Gui!
"It's time to leave seclusion!"
"This time, if the Blazing Fire Sect still doesn't know what's good for them, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Lin Chen clenched his fists, his expression solemn.
Previously, he had no enmity with the Blazing Fire Sect. It was Wu Tie and Wu Quan Gui who repeatedly targeted people around him.
Now, it was time to completely resolve this hidden danger!
Otherwise, even if he and Zhang Ying survived the secret realm this time, the Blazing Fire Sect would still hunt them down when they got outside.
At that time, the danger would not just be to himself or Zhang Ying.
With the current strength of the Blazing Fire Sect, it would definitely be very easy for them to find his relatives and friends.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen immediately walked towards the outside.
As soon as he walked out, he bumped into Zhang Ying, who was guarding him outside.
"Oh? Junior brother, you're out of seclusion so soon?"
Seeing that Lin Chen had come out of seclusion in less than two days, Zhang Ying was truly surprised.
A cultivator's seclusion for breakthrough usually took at least ten days!
But Zhao Heng? He came out in just two and a half days?
And most importantly, looking at Lin Chen's aura now, it was clearly much stronger than before.
This was enough to show that Lin Chen had definitely broken through to the mid-Core Formation stage!
Otherwise, he would not have such a powerful aura!
"Yes, Senior Sister, let's go, we can head out now!"
Lin Chen nodded, his expression filled with confidence.
With his Core Formation cultivation, he now didn't even put Wu Quan Gui in his eyes, so he naturally didn't need to worry about other late Core Formation stage cultivators.
As long as they dared to come, Lin Chen could easily kill them all!
"Okay, good!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhang Ying also nodded.
She had been eyeing the heavenly materials and earthly treasures outside for a long time. Before, she didn't dare to go out and pick them because of the Blazing Fire Sect.
But now, she was determined to replenish the Ghost God Sect's medicinal fields!
At this moment, Zhang Ying clearly understood that Lin Chen's refining techniques were different from others.
This meant that Lin Chen would definitely need a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the future to refine pills.
There wasn't much she could do for Lin Chen, except to use the Ghost God Sect's medicinal fields to cultivate more heavenly materials and earthly treasures for Lin Chen.
Otherwise, in the future, he would definitely face a shortage of materials.
Moreover, Lin Chen had so many women around him. With his talent and methods at home, the women around him would only increase in the future.
And if she wanted to stay by his side, she had to show her value.
Although Zhang Ying knew very well that because of her father's relationship, no matter what she did, Lin Chen would be infinitely accommodating to her.
But that kind of affection was not what she wanted. For Zhang Ying, what she hoped for most was to be able to help Lin Chen and become his true virtuous helper.
Only then would she feel that staying by Lin Chen's side was truly meaningful.
If she could only rely on him her entire life and couldn't help with anything, then what was the point of her staying by Lin Chen's side?
Soon, the two walked out of the dense forest and arrived at the valley in the very center of the secret realm.
"Wow, there are so many spirit herbs here! And most of them are very rare spirit herbs in the outside world!"
Seeing the spirit herbs scattered all over the valley, Zhang Ying's eyes lit up with a faint glow.
If all these medicinal ingredients could be moved back to the Ghost God Sect's medicinal fields, Lin Chen would no longer have to worry about materials when refining pills in the future, right?
"Why are there so many medicinal ingredients here, and no one has picked them yet?"
At this moment, Lin Chen frowned slightly, looking around the surroundings with some confusion.
Although the medicinal ingredients in this valley could not be called peerlessly rare, they were priceless in the outside world.
And most importantly, the number of these spirit herbs, let alone Zhang Ying, even he himself would be very covetous upon seeing them.
But with such a massive quantity of spirit herbs, there wasn't a single cultivator around.
This was a bit too strange, wasn't it?
