"What? You want all kinds of medicine? Even poison?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Qiu Hanying was truly surprised.
When others have money, they first buy luxury cars and houses. But this Lin Chen? He wants to acquire a large number of medicinal materials, and he wants all kinds of them. This really surprised her!
"Yes, that's right. As long as the herbs are over a hundred years old, I want all of them!"
Hearing Qiu Hanying's inquiry, Lin Chen reaffirmed.
Ordinary medicinal materials rarely live for more than a hundred years.
And any medicinal material that can live for over a hundred years is definitely not simple and will be helpful for alchemy.
Since he has money now, collecting these medicinal materials will eventually be useful!
"Alright, I'll notify them immediately."
After getting Lin Chen's confirmation, Qiu Hanying immediately nodded in agreement.
"That's good. If you have any medicinal materials, you can notify me anytime. I'll be going now."
After explaining to Qiu Hanying, Lin Chen turned and left directly.
Qiu Hanying stood there, dazed for a moment. Did this person really not want to stay with her any longer?
After leaving Ru Shuang Group, Lin Chen drove directly to Xishan.
After being tidied up by his master and senior sister, Xishan was now shrouded in mist, a stark contrast to the desolate appearance of the Guishen Sect's former mining area!
More importantly, as soon as Lin Chen arrived, he felt that Xishan was already covered by a grand formation.
Ordinary people looking at the mountain would only see lush forests, but with Lin Chen's current Golden Core stage cultivation, he could see magnificent buildings hidden behind the formation's core on the mountaintop.
Without any hesitation, Lin Chen strode towards the formation's core.
"Area ahead is closed, tourists stop?"
As he approached the formation's core, Lin Chen looked at the sign and couldn't help but smile faintly.
However, just as he reached the formation's core, a wave of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from ahead, and the formation's core opened. Zhao Ying emerged from within.
"Junior brother, what do you think? Xishan is quite nice now, isn't it?"
Seeing Lin Chen in front of her, Zhao Ying had a smile on her face.
She was certainly happy in her heart for this junior brother who had saved her life, so she was always delighted to see Lin Chen.
"Of course, the formation created by Senior Sister must be the best in the world!"
Seeing Zhao Ying's expectant look, Lin Chen was not stingy with his praise.
"Alright, alright, you, stop flattering me so much. Let's go inside and take a look!"
Although Zhao Ying said Lin Chen was flattering her, a joyful smile bloomed on her face.
Clearly, Lin Chen's words had a significant effect on her.
Following Zhao Ying, Lin Chen entered the formation.
As soon as he entered the formation's core, the scene spun before his eyes, and several towering mountains appeared.
"Look, this is the true face of our Guishen Sect. After my father had an accident, Xiao Kui and others imprisoned me because they wanted to find a way to open the grand formation."
"The back mountain of Xishan has twelve peaks, all of which were covered by my father with an ancient grand formation. Ordinary people can't detect it at all."
"Unless one's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage, all they will see is this vast expanse of white mist."
Pointing at the peaks of various sizes before him, Lin Chen was momentarily stunned.
Good heavens, he had never dreamed that the back mountain of Xishan would have such scenery!
"We've taken in over seventy Guishen Sect disciples with pure hearts. As for the others, most of them colluded with Xiao Kui and others in their wicked deeds and have been executed on the spot."
"Of these twelve peaks, apart from the main peak, you can choose any one to be your residence."
Zhao Ying then pointed at the peaks and said to Lin Chen.
Currently, apart from the newly recruited disciples, the only true members of the Guishen Sect were Zhao Ying herself, Zhao Yunlong, and Lin Chen.
"Hahaha, in that case, thank you, Senior Sister!"
Hearing Zhao Ying's words, Lin Chen was full of gratitude. Now that his cultivation had broken through to the Golden Core stage, he needed a place to meditate. He would check inside the Nine Dragon Ring.
These peaks were the best choice, weren't they?
"By the way, Senior Sister, where do you live?"
Lin Chen then turned to Zhao Ying and asked.
"My father and I live on the main peak."
Zhao Ying replied without thinking.
"Oh, then I'll choose that one. It's close to the main peak, and it will be convenient for us to visit each other."
Lin Chen pointed to a peak next to the main peak and said to Zhao Ying.
"Alright. Come, I'll take you to see Father first, and then we'll go there."
After Lin Chen made his choice, Zhao Ying took him to the main peak to pay respects to Zhang Yunlong.
"Disciple Lin Chen pays his respects to Master!"
Seeing Zhang Yunlong on the main peak, Lin Chen knelt down and bowed respectfully.
He was a proud person and didn't kneel to heaven or earth. But Zhang Yunlong had shown him immense kindness, so Lin Chen didn't feel it was inappropriate to kneel.
"Well, Little Chen, you are now a Golden Core stage cultivator. I am very pleased to see your achievements today."
Zhang Yunlong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Back when he was in prison, he accepted Lin Chen as his disciple partly because he saw that Lin Chen was indeed a good seedling for cultivation, and partly because he valued loyalty and righteousness.
He never expected that in just a few years, this disciple of his would become a Golden Core stage cultivator in this era of declining spiritual energy!
"Your Senior Sister told me you are now a third-grade alchemist?"
Zhang Yunlong asked Lin Chen with curiosity.
This disciple he casually accepted had not only broken through to the Golden Core stage in just over three years but had also become a sought-after third-grade alchemist in the cultivation world.
Was this disciple too monstrous?
"Yes, Master. I can now refine the Golden Condensing Pill, but to break through to the fourth-grade alchemist, a large amount of medicinal materials will likely be needed."
Hearing Zhang Yunlong's question, Lin Chen nodded slightly.
He knew that Zhang Yunlong was currently at the late stage of the Core Formation and was only a step away from the legendary Nascent Soul stage.
However, with the sparse spiritual energy in the world now, it would be impossible for him to achieve Nascent Soul without the help of a Nascent Soul Breaking Pill.
The reason he agreed to participate in the alchemy competition at the Zhejiang Provincial Martial Arts Tournament this time was to win the lower-grade spiritual artifact alchemy furnace and practice his alchemy skills, striving to break through to the fourth grade as soon as possible.
