Such an Alchemist would definitely be a prized guest in any major Sect.
And yet, with a casual wave of his hand, Lin Changâshengâs Elixirs reached Sixth Grade and aboveâit was clear how profound his Alchemy Skill was and how exquisite his technique had become.
Once the Pill was formed, Lin Changâsheng immediately called Yan Zhen over and helped her onto the bed.
Then he placed the Elixir into Yan Zhenâs mouth. As soon as the Pill encountered her breath, it instantly dissolved into a warm current that merged into her body, nourishing her internal organs and Divine Soul.
This Pill provided tremendous support to the Divine Soul.
However, it still required a certain period of gentle nurturing.
During the time Yan Zhen was recuperating, Lin Changâsheng didnât idle eitherâhe took out the Black Armor and the red Crystal Stone the elder in red had given him.
The Black Armor felt extremely solid to the touch, constructed almost like Dragon Scale, tough beyond belief.
"This is a Treasure Armor forged from the toughest scales of a pseudo-dragon. It can at the very least withstand any attack from a Cultivator below the Void Refining Stage!"
The old manâs voice echoed in Lin Changâshengâs mind. The fact that Lin Changâsheng managed to get his hands on this counted as a major stroke of fortune.
"There are fake dragons? But if it can block attacks from anyone under the Void Refining Stage, thatâs no small feat!"
Lin Changâsheng couldnât help but sigh. Heâd thought at best it could defend against a Nascent Soul Cultivatorâs strike, never expecting heâd actually lucked into such a treasure.
This red-robed elder was unexpectedly generous?
What Lin Changâsheng didnât know was these retired Old Demon Emperors could never leave the Spiritual Spring Sacred Land for the rest of their livesâthese treasures were of little practical use to them, so theyâd rather gift them to a fated person at random.
"Pseudo-dragons are those Demon Beasts that havenât transformed into true dragons yetâlike Snake Demons, Black Flood Dragons, Viper Dragons, and so on. Given enough fortune, they can transform and become dragons, so theyâre called pseudo-dragons. This Black Armor of yours was likely made from Flood Dragon Scale."
The old man cleared up a major doubt for Lin Changâsheng.
Only then did Lin Changâsheng understand.
And this Treasure Armor had no Restrictionsâyou could just put it on and use it.
The Demon Race was nowhere near as complicated as the Human Race; there was no need to refine Restrictions. They favored the most basic forging methods.
After putting away the Black Qilin Treasure Armor, Lin Changâsheng picked up the fiery red Crystal Stone for a closer look.
"Judging by that elderâs appearance, heâs probably from the Fire Fox Race. Maybe this Crystal Stone is related to them!"
Lin Changâsheng murmured his suspicions aloud.
After inspecting it for a while and finding nothing, Lin Changâsheng could only put it away againâthe elder no longer spoke up either.
"Hmm?"
In her unconscious state, Yan Zhen, aided by the Spirit Stabilizing Pill, let out a light groan. Once her Divine Soul restored itself, she slowly opened her eyes and woke up.
When Yan Zhen saw Lin Changâsheng upon opening her eyes, she finally relaxed.
"Changâsheng? Wh-what happened to me?"
Yan Zhen looked a bit confused, not sure what had transpired.
"Sister Zhen, itâs okay, you just had a weakened Divine Soul and need some good rest."
Lin Changâsheng reassured her kindly.
Hearing Lin Changâsheng say that, Yan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, following Lin Changâshengâs guidance, she began using her Divine Soul to absorb the Soul Fragments of the Ice Frost Empress.
Once she had absorbed them all, Yan Zhenâs memory fused entirely with that of the Ice Frost Empress.
"Changâsheng, thank you so much this time. If it werenât for you, I might haveâ"
Yan Zhen spoke softly, sorrow in her tone. Now, the only family she had left was Lin Changâsheng.
Thinking of her lost home and having nowhere to return, Yan Zhen couldnât help but feel a wave of sadness.
"Sister Zhen, you helped me so much before. Whatâs this little favor compared to that? Iâm truly happy to see you walk the Immortal Path!"
Lin Changâsheng scratched his head with a smile. In front of Yan Zhen, he was still just like a kid.
Back then, Yan Zhen really did help Lin Changâsheng a lot.
If not for Yan Zhenâs help, Lin Changâsheng might have starved to death long ago.
Bangâ
Just as Yan Zhen and Lin Changâsheng were talking, the door was suddenly kicked open by someone.
This immediately irritated Lin Changâsheng.
Two burly young men stepped inside from the doorway.
But their toughness didnât compare to a Demon Emperor. Even though theyâd taken human form, their hair wasnât pure black, but rather brown.
"Kid, I heard youâve gotten close with my little sister? An insignificant Human dares to be so boldâlet me see what youâre made of!"
The one leading was Yun Chanâs eldest brother, Yun Shan. Upon seeing Lin Changâsheng, he was instantly furious.
Since childhood, theyâd doted on Yun Chan, never expecting sheâd fall for a Human brat. If he didnât have something going for him, no amount of persuasion would make them accept it.
"Yeah, and you look like you canât stay loyalâwhoâs this woman, then?"
Yun He, at the side, looked annoyed. Itâs bad enough this brat has his sister, but now heâs messing with another woman? How could he not be two-timing?
Looks like his relationship with his sister isnât sincere, just taking advantage of her.
Humans are always the most vile and shameless.
"And who is she, that I need to explain it to you two?"
Lin Changâshengâs own irritation flared. From their words, it was clear these two were Yun Chanâs eldest and second brother.
But with that kind of attitude, Lin Changâsheng wasnât going to show them any kindness.
"Wow, quite the temper! Letâs see if youâre really that tough!"
Yun Shan saw the kid had attitude and immediately lost his patience. Without another word, he raised his palm and swung at Lin Changâsheng.
The very air boomed beneath the might of Yun Shanâs Palm Seal.
Clearly, this strike had no small power.
When he saw the attack coming, Lin Changâsheng didnât hold back eitherâhe threw out a palm of his own.
Boomâ
A violent explosion rang outâYun Shan was directly sent flying, crashing through the door behind and shattering it to pieces.
"Big bro?"
Yun Heâs face was in shock at his big brother getting hurt. Was this bratâs power really that overwhelming?
Maybe his brother had just dropped his guard.
"Youâre looking to die, kid!"
Yun He immediately summoned his axes, swinging them down at Lin Changâsheng, intent on hacking him to bits.
Unfortunately, these two werenât anywhere near Lin Changâshengâs match. Yun He ended up just like Yun Shan, sent flying and defeated, instantly losing the will to fight.
If Lin Changâsheng hadnât gone easy, one palm wouldâve killed them both.
From Lin Changâshengâs own sensing, both of them were only at Golden Core Late Stage Cultivationâeven scratching him was wishful thinking.
"Big brother, second brother!"
Just as the two hit the ground, Yun Chan and their father Yun Tianhuang rushed in, flustered and anxious.
"Havenât I told you already, youâre not his matchâso why did you two stillâ"
Yun Chan was distraught. If Lin Changâsheng hadnât held back, theyâd be dead by now.
Yun Chan had thought Lin Changâsheng was still trapped in the Grand Array and didnât stop Yun Shan and Yun He from picking a fight.
But who could have guessed Lin Changâsheng would be back so soon?
"Son-in-law, did you get the Spiritual Spring Water? Howâd you make it back this quick?"
Yun Tianhuang was shocked. From Lin Changâshengâs departure to his return, only two or three hours had passed, and he was back with the Spiritual Spring Water?
"I owe this round to the Demon Emperorâs help!"
Lin Changâsheng replied modestly. Now that Yan Zhen was safe, he was totally at ease.
"Hahaha, weâre all familyâno need to be so formal! Like they say, no fight, no friendship! Come, let me introduce youâthese are my sons, Yun Shan and Yun He, and this is your brother-in-law!"
Yun Tianhuang introduced Lin Changâsheng and Yun Shanâs two brothers.
Honestly, even without Yun Tianhuangâs introduction, Lin Changâsheng could tellâwho else could they be but Yun Chanâs eldest and second brothers?
"Donât take it the wrong way, brother-in-law. We were just afraid someone would scam our little sister!"
Yun Shan was generous enough, no longer holding a grudge even though that palm almost made him cough blood.
But the stronger Lin Changâsheng was, the stronger their own backing would be.
"Exactly, no fight, no friendship. Weâre all acquainted now!"
Yun He spoke up right on cue.
With their attitudes shifting, Lin Changâsheng didnât bother holding anything against them either.
If they didnât care about being beaten, what else could Lin Changâsheng say!
This was just water under the bridge now.
After talking it through, Lin Changâsheng learned Yun Shan and Yun He had dashed down from the battlefield without stopping as soon as they heard Yun Chan was back. Clearly, they really cared for her.
Lin Changâsheng couldnât help but be curious about the Demon Race causing the recent turmoil.
After digging a bit, Lin Changâshengâs brow furrowedâamong them happened to be the Fire Fox Race.
Wasnât that the tribe of the red-robed elder?
