"This is the list of pills I need. Please ask Mr. Long to find them for me as soon as possible."
Lin Chen did not stand on ceremony and directly produced a prepared list of pills.
This list had been prepared beforehand. Although he had ransacked the entire Trial Valley of the Southwest cultivation world and now possessed an immeasurable amount of medicinal herbs in his Nine Dragon Ring,
The Long family, after all, was the foremost artifact refining family in the entire Dragon Country cultivation world, possessing immense wealth.
Under such circumstances, it would truly be inexcusable if he didn't seize the opportunity to take them for himself.
"Alright, Mr. Chen, rest assured. Shall I escort you there first?"
After receiving Lin Chen's list of medicinal herbs, Long Feihu merely glanced at it before readily agreeing.
The medicinal herbs on the list were valuable, but for the Long family, they were not a difficult matter.
As long as this Mr. Chen could refine the Tranquil Heart Pill and cure the elder's illness, it would be worth emptying the entire Long family's coffers.
"Good."
Lin Chen nodded and followed Long Feihu out.
As they walked, they arrived at the backyard of the Long family.
"Mr. Chen, this is the alchemy room specially prepared for you. You will absolutely not be disturbed here."
"If you need anything, just speak loudly inside."
"My people will come immediately and await your command."
After bringing Lin Chen to the location, Long Feihu looked at Lin Chen and spoke, explaining.
However, the veiled threat in his words was already quite apparent.
Although on the surface Long Feihu was emphasizing how generous the conditions were for Lin Chen,
Lin Chen was not foolish. The fact that anyone outside would immediately notice if he spoke loudly clearly indicated they were deliberately sending people to monitor him.
But it was understandable. He had scoured the entire Southwest and still could not find a single artifact-grade alchemy furnace.
Almost all the legends about alchemy furnaces before had turned out to be false.
This was enough to prove how precious an artifact-grade alchemy furnace was.
Now that the Long family was giving him this alchemy furnace, sending a few people to keep an eye on him could be considered understandable.
"Alright, then I will begin preparing for alchemy. The spiritual energy and medicinal herbs I need must be placed at my room's door within three days."
"After placing them, there's no need to knock. I will come out to get them myself when I need them."
"Furthermore, no one is to disturb me while I am refining pills."
Lin Chen then directly stated his conditions.
He was currently at the peak of a third-grade alchemist and would definitely need some time to reach the realm of a fourth-grade alchemist.
If anyone were to disturb him at this time, it would undoubtedly lead to failure.
"Good, Mr. Chen, rest assured. I've noted it down!"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Long Feihu agreed without hesitation.
To him, as long as Mr. Chen did not leave the Long family headquarters, everything else was negotiable!
"Yes, I will go and make preparations now. I can start refining pills once your medicinal herbs arrive."
Saying this, Lin Chen did not hesitate and entered the room.
To be on the safe side, he set up a concealment formation at the door, just as he had done before.
On one hand, it could prevent his aura from leaking out, and on the other hand, it could prevent anyone outside from disturbing him.
After completing all these preparations, Lin Chen took out the Nine Dragon Ring and integrated his divine consciousness into it.
Upon entering the Nine Dragon Ring, Lin Chen directly took out the brocade box that Long Feihu had just handed him and opened it.
An alchemy furnace, which appeared to be only palm-sized, appeared before Lin Chen.
Lin Chen knew very well that although this alchemy furnace looked only palm-sized, spiritual artifact-grade treasures had the ability to freely adjust their size.
This alchemy furnace would naturally be no exception.
The entire alchemy furnace was crimson red, and it was inscribed with three small characters in ancient seal script: Fire Cloud Cauldron!
"Then let's begin. Let me see what's so special about this artifact-grade alchemy furnace."
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Chen began to practice his alchemy skills.
Strictly speaking, his alchemy skills had no grade to speak of.
Whether it was a third-grade or a fourth-grade pill, as long as he had the prescription and medicinal herbs, he was confident in refining it.
What he needed was merely the realm of his alchemy skills.
The alchemy techniques he learned from the Nine Dragon Ring were very special and required extensive refining to accumulate the 'pill qi' within his body.
The more pills he refined, the higher the level of his alchemy skills would naturally become.
What he needed to do now was to refine a large number of pills to accumulate his 'pill qi' and further elevate his alchemy skill level.
This way, he could refine the Tranquil Heart Pill!
The space within the Nine Dragon Ring was now filled with abundant spiritual energy, and the various heavenly treasures were growing exceptionally well, which was perfect for refining pills.
Focusing his mind, Lin Chen began to actively refine pills.
The materials for the third-grade Spirit Guiding Pill were piled up like mountains in the Nine Dragon Ring.
Furthermore, no matter how many of these pills were refined, they would always have a use, so it wasn't a waste.
He stayed in the Nine Dragon Ring for a full five days before his alchemy skills finally broke through to the fourth tier!
Looking at the countless third-grade Spirit Guiding Pills he had refined, it was truly an immeasurable number!
After packing up the pills, Lin Chen exited the Nine Dragon Ring and walked towards the door.
Outside the door, a tray was placed, laden with a multitude of heavenly treasures, precisely the medicinal ingredients required to refine the Tranquil Heart Pill.
"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the Long family. Their speed is truly astonishing!"
Seeing the tray of medicinal herbs at the door, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh.
In the outside world, any single plant from these medicinal herbs could stir up a bloody storm.
Yet, the Long family had managed to prepare all these medicinal ingredients within five days.
This indeed lived up to their reputation as the foremost artifact refining family in the Dragon Country, the Long family!
As he took the medicinal herbs, Lin Chen also keenly detected that outside his room, there were at least four late-stage Core Formation cultivators guarding.
Even in the shadows, there was a half-step Nascent Soul stage cultivator observing his every move within the room using divine sense.
It could be said that if he really tried to take this alchemy furnace away from the Long family, he would be instantly killed by these experts.
Lin Chen said nothing more and simply extended his hand. The medicinal herbs on the tray flew directly into his hand.
After obtaining the medicinal herbs, Lin Chen returned to his room, closed the door, set up the formation, and continued to refine pills.
