Deeply aware of this point, Lin Tianming greatly admired Wang Lusheng, and at the same time, his initial perception of some cultivator prodigies changed drastically.
With this shift in mentality, Lin Tianmingâs complexion became rosy, and he felt a bit excited inside.
After calming down a bit, Lin Tianming did not refuse Wang Lushengâs good intentions.
Because as far as Lin Tianming was concerned, the Buddha Heart Pill was very important to him.
After all, the Buddha Heart Pill has a significant effect. Although not as crucial as the Nascent Soul Spiritual Item, it can help any cultivator attempting to reach the Nascent Soul Stage overcome the first major hurdle.
And this hurdle itself has blocked the path of many cultivators.
If one cannot even pass the first barrier, there naturally wonât be opportunities that follow.
Consequently, during the process of reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, the Heart Demon Tribulation equally brings immense pressure to countless cultivators.
On this point, although Lin Tianming is very confident about his own mind, he does not have absolute certainty.
In such circumstances, the Purple Monkey Flower and Buddha Heart Pill are even more important to him.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming pondered briefly, then first offered a compliment.
"Daoist Wang is truly a divine being, able to perceive the body and mind. I truly admire him greatly."
"Moreover, I did come to Yulan Country with my own purpose."
"Among them, participating in this alchemy competition is actually for this purpose."
"But now, hearing Daoist Wang express willingness to help indeed gives me some hope."
"Itâs just that the treasures I need are quite rare, and naturally, their value isnât low."
"In that case, does Daoist Wang have these items? I am quite eager to know."
Lin Tianming said calmly, with an apprehensive expression on his face, as if not confident whether Wang Lusheng had the other two Third Order Spirit Medicine Materials.
At this moment, upon hearing Lin Tianmingâs words and seeing his expression, Wang Lushengâs face changed slightly, and he became extremely interested in what Lin Tianming needed.
Mind you, he is a True Disciple of Yunzhou Nascent Soul Forcesâ Divine Tree Sect and himself a Golden Core Great Completion cultivator.
Moreover, he is an alchemist renowned for his high talent and profound achievements in alchemy.
With such a background and cultivation, his wealth is extremely affluent.
At least in his view, ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators from Qingzhou cannot compare to him in terms of wealth.
No matter how strong Lin Tianming might be or how excellent his alchemy skills might be, the spirit medicine materials he needs are no more than Third Order and at most ordinary Fourth Order spiritual medicine.
In contrast, he himself, as a distinguished Third Order Alchemist from Yunzhou, surpasses over ninety percent of the Third Order Alchemists in terms of spiritual medicine materials reserves.
In fact, he even has several spiritual medicine materials that many Fourth Order Alchemists covet.
With such wealth, he cannot fathom why Lin Tianming has the confidence to think he might not possess what is needed.
Under such a mentality, Wang Lusheng looked at Lin Tianmingâs expression and couldnât help but inquire further.
"Daoist Lin, what spiritual medicine materials do you need? Just say it directly!"
"I believe with my wealth, I wonât let you down."
Wang Lusheng said confidently, with a calm and composed smile on his face.
As soon as Wang Lusheng spoke, Lin Tianming didnât waste any time, as he had been waiting for these words from Wang Lusheng.
Now that Wang Lusheng had said this, it would be ungracious for him to continue concealing anything.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming immediately spoke about the other two types of Third Order Spirit Medicine Materials he needed.
And in the next moment, upon hearing Lin Tianmingâs statement, Wang Lushengâs expression indeed became somewhat serious.
Meanwhile, he couldnât help but mutter to himself.
"Hanyan Grass, Xue Ling Cao!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Tianming also opened his eyes wide at Wang Lusheng, eagerly anticipating his response.
After a long while, Wang Lushengâs expression returned to normal, and he collected his thoughts.
Immediately after, Wang Lusheng patted his waist, took out an exquisite jade box, and handed it to Lin Tianming opposite him.
At this moment, seeing this action, Lin Tianmingâs face immediately broke into an excited smile.
Obviously, since Wang Lusheng had taken out the jade box, it meant that inside the box certainly held the Third Order Spirit Medicine Materials Lin Tianming needed.
Otherwise, Wang Lusheng definitely wouldnât have done so.
Moreover, as a famed Third Order Alchemist from Yunzhou, Wang Lusheng would surely know the value of the treasures Lin Tianming needs and these two Third Order Spirit Medicine Materials.
Yet he still took out the jade box without hesitation, indicating he indeed possessed these spirit medicines.
However, having taken out only one jade box, Lin Tianming could not confirm if it contained Hanyan Grass or Xue Ling Cao before checking it himself.
Precisely because of this, Lin Tianming felt impatient inside.
In the next moment, Lin Tianming didnât bother with pretense or pride and quickly accepted the jade box from Wang Lushengâs hand to inspect it immediately.
Swiftly and carefully checking, Lin Tianming finally confirmed that inside the jade box was indeed the urgently needed Xue Ling Cao.
Seeing the spirit medicine, its years matched the requirements for refining the Buddha Heart Pill, with its quality and potency exceedingly well preserved, truly making it a rare and cherished spiritual medicine.
With this Xue Ling Cao, most of the necessary spiritual medicine materials for refining the Buddha Heart Pill were amassed.
Next, he only needed the final type of Hanyan Grass and some more common auxiliary materials to gather all the spiritual medicine materials completely.
When that moment arrives, Lin Tianming could invite a Fourth Order Alchemist to help refine the precious Fourth Order elixir, the Buddha Heart Pill.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming couldnât suppress his inner excitement.
Yet in front of Wang Lusheng, Lin Tianming restrained his inner excitement to avoid being ridiculed.
Returning to his senses, Lin Tianming once again clasped his hands towards Wang Lusheng.
Then, with a sincere expression, Lin Tianming said: "Daoist Wang, this Xue Ling Cao is indeed what I need. I didnât expect you actually to have such a rare spiritual medicine material."
"But this Xue Ling Cao is precious and rare, even with Daoist Wangâs wealth, obtaining this medicine is not easy."
"In that case, I cannot let Daoist Wang be at a loss."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianming patted his sleeve and promptly took out a jade box to hand over to Wang Lusheng.
This jade box also contained a spirit medicine material.
And this spirit medicine material happened to be a Fourth Order spiritual medicine, acquired by Lin Tianming from the treasure vault of Jinfeng Countryâs Xie Family.
Still, this spiritual medicine is not considered too rare among Fourth Order spiritual medicines, so its value isnât too high.
Nevertheless, no matter how common Fourth Order spiritual medicines are, their rank holds significance, and their value wonât be inferior compared to some treasures.
In this way, Lin Tianmingâs intention was to use this Fourth Order spiritual medicine as a wager for competing in alchemy skills with Wang Lusheng.
After all, Wang Lusheng had already provided the Purple Monkey Flower earlier and now the urgently needed Xue Ling Cao.
The value of these two Third Order spiritual medicine materials compared to the Fourth Order spiritual medicine material he offered was indeed not low.
In such circumstances, using this Fourth Order spiritual medicine as the wager made the arrangement between them fair.
Indeed, after Wang Lusheng accepted the jade box and looked it over, he showed a satisfied expression.
Meanwhile, Wang Lusheng inwardly appreciated Lin Tianmingâs approach and the terms of their competition.
Regarding the wager, Wang Lusheng neither felt he was taking advantage nor Lin Tianming gaining undue benefit.
In fact, once the wager was confirmed, the conditions of their competition were truly established.
