Chapter 390: Chapter 390: 90: Flame Spring Body Refining

Time flew by, and another six months had passed since the issue with the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch was resolved, and everyone had returned to Li Yan Island.

Their lives had once again settled into tranquility.

During this time, Lu Youjiu had been giving Yan Wanfei special training, and Holaw Three Rivers was ceaselessly studying formations.

Only Lin Jing was a bit different.

In the past six months, besides alchemy in the System Space, Lin Jing spent most of his time cultivating in the Earthflame Spring.

After such a long period of cultivation, he was finally close to mastering the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique to perfection.

If nothing unexpected happened, it should be within the next few days…

……

Inside the Earthflame Cave at this moment.

Lin Jing was soaking in the Earthflame Spring.

Feeling the scalding heat of the Earthflame Spring, Lin Jing actually found it quite comfortable.

Although he wasn’t using Spiritual Power to protect his body, he was still as comfortable as a fish in water inside the Earthflame Spring and didn’t feel any discomfort.

Just then, a series of footsteps came from outside.

The footsteps were uneven, as if the person’s legs were not in good shape.

Lin Jing then swept out with his Divine Sense and couldn’t help but smile.

After a while, a rough burly man limped over.

Lin Jing turned his head to look at the man and laughingly said,

“Yan Brother, what happened today that you’re limping?”

The burly man who had arrived was none other than Yan Wanfei.

Hearing Lin Jing’s teasing, Yan Wanfei’s face immediately drooped as if he had just consumed freshly picked bitter herbs:

“It’s all because of Lu Youjiu…”

“He said he was going to give me special training, but it really was just an excuse to beat me up…”

“This time he nearly ripped off my leg.”

Yan Wanfei pointed at his limping leg and complained.

Lin Jing’s mouth twitched slightly, but he remained composed, and then said:

“Actually, you can’t really say that. Look, with the training over this period, haven’t you already broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core?”

No sooner had Lin Jing finished speaking than Yan Wanfei approached the pool of the Earthflame Spring, getting close to Lin Jing and said:

“Speaking of which, I feel it’s mostly your merit, Brother Lin.”

“If it weren’t for your Elixir Medicine, perhaps I wouldn’t have broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core so easily.”

After speaking, Yan Wanfei still had a look of deep resentment, gazing at Lin Jing:

“I just didn’t expect that you would actually be a descendant of the Lin Family from the Ancient Alchemy Path.”

“And you guys kept it a secret from me for so long…”

“It wasn’t until now that I was told…”

Facing Yan Wanfei’s questioning, Lin Jing chuckled and then said:

“Lu Brother was worried you might spill the beans, which is why he specifically wanted to keep it from you.”

“Who would’ve guessed that you sometimes seem rather unreliable?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Wanfei was left speechless:

“I’m really hurt now. I could accept it from Lu Youjiu, but even you think I’m unreliable.”

“Am I really unreliable…?”

“To think, I have always been wholeheartedly with my brothers, yet my brothers have been playing mind games with me…”

“Let it go…”

“I’m tired, might as well give up.”

Lin Jing was immediately at a loss for words, surprised that the casual remark he had made was so fluently used by Yan Wanfei.

However.

If he couldn’t suss out his brother Niu San’s intentions, Lin Jing wouldn’t deserve to be a veterinarian.

Err…

Then again, he wasn’t really a veterinarian in the first place.

But it didn’t matter, as long as the intent was understood.

Therefore, Lin Jing replied directly to Yan Wanfei:

“Stop making that pitiful face, just tell me, what do you want?”

Yan Wanfei immediately put on a cheerful expression, getting close to Lin Jing:

“Heh heh…”

“Brother Lin really gets me.”

Lin Jing couldn’t help but purse his lips.

Then Yan Wanfei said:

“Brother Lin, I actually just want an Eternal Youth Elixir for my wife.”

“Eternal Youth Elixir…”

Lin Jing then remembered that in his System Space, he had an Eternal Youth Fruit tree that had already matured.

He just hadn’t been concocting the Eternal Youth Elixir during this time because he had been busy with other elixirs.

Now, with the crisis over, he could start collecting ingredients for the Eternal Youth Elixir.

Lin Jing then said:

“Eternal Youth Elixir, a third-grade Elixir Medicine.”

“Aside from the main ingredient, Eternal Youth Fruit, the other ingredients are not hard to find…”

“Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

Yan Wanfei was overjoyed:

“I knew Brother Lin would be the best to me.”

With that, Yan Wanfei pulled out three Eternal Youth Fruits and handed them to Lin Jing:

“These are three Eternal Youth Fruits that I had Lu Youjiu help collect previously.”

“If it’s not enough, just say the word, and I’ll go find more Eternal Youth Fruits.”

Lin Jing did not reach out to take the Eternal Youth Fruits but instead sighed helplessly and then said:

“Sigh…”

“Actually, I have Eternal Youth Fruits on me; you really didn’t have to buy them yourself.”

However, Yan Wanfei persistently shook his head:

“How could that be okay? It’s already troubling enough to have you concoct the elixir; how could I let you provide the ingredients as well?”

“Besides, it’s very hard for Eternal Youth Fruit trees to mature on islands, so in the Demonic Monster Sea, Eternal Youth Fruits are particularly expensive. Just these three have already cost me a small fortune in savings, I definitely can’t let you provide the Eternal Youth Fruits.”

Actually.

If we were to talk about it, it wouldn’t be troublesome for Lin Jing to ripen Eternal Youth Fruits at the moment.

Even the needed Harvest Points were not that many.

Hearing Yan Wanfei speak in such a manner, Lin Jing even started to consider the idea.

Could he perhaps ripen some Eternal Youth Fruits and then sell them at the Seven Seas Hall…

Of course, Lin Jing just had the thought and then reined it in.

Although he could produce Eternal Youth Fruits now, it wouldn’t be appropriate to bring out too many.

Otherwise, it can’t be explained.

Thus, Lin Jing spoke to Yan Wanfei again:

“Brother Yan, what do you think of this…”

“You don’t have to collect Eternal Youth Fruits recently, when I was in Nanming Domain, I had the good fortune to come across a mature Eternal Youth Fruit Tree and harvested a few Eternal Youth Fruits.”

“This time, if there aren’t enough Eternal Youth Fruits, I’ll take out the ones I got myself and use them first.”

“As for you, keep an eye out for those High-Grade Spiritual Plant seeds for me, I’d like to try planting some.”

After hearing this, Yan Wanfei pondered for a moment and then said:

“Alright…”

“Let’s do that, and if there are High-Grade Spiritual Plant seeds, I’ll buy them for you.”

Lin Jing waved his hand and said:

“No need, just let me know, after all, those seeds are quite expensive.”

Yan Wanfei frowned immediately:

“How can that be?”

“You need to understand…”

Before Yan Wanfei could finish, Lin Jing interrupted him:

“Alright, let’s talk about this later.”

“I just remembered something…”

Yan Wanfei, who had been ready to argue, immediately backed down, and then with a puzzled face, asked:

“Brother Lin… what is it?”

Lin Jing then said with a smile:

“I remember, aren’t you quite afraid of your lady back home?”

“Why the sudden thought of giving her a gift?”

Yan Wanfei’s face suddenly flushed red.

Then he said in a low voice:

“Actually…”

“Afraid, indeed, I am a bit.”

“But the marriage has already been arranged by the family, there’s no running away from it, and the gifts that should be given, must still be given.”

“And this flawless Eternal Youth Elixir, she mentioned it a long time ago, it’s just that this flawless Eternal Youth Elixir is especially precious, and I’ve never been able to afford it.”

“Until I met you, Brother Lin, now there’s an opportunity, so, I made this request to you, hoping you wouldn’t mind.”

Lin Jing then said with a smile:

“Don’t worry, this time I’ll help you concoct a flawless Eternal Youth Elixir.”

When Yan Wanfei heard this, he was overjoyed:

“Thank you, Brother Lin…”

Lin Jing then said with a smile, “Why be so formal with me…”

……

Afterward.

The two chatted for a little while longer, then prepared to enter the deeper parts of the Earthflame Spring to begin cultivation.

The way the two were cultivating now was different from before.

Since they had become accustomed to the temperature of the Earthflame Spring, both Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei needed to submerge into its depths to practice their Body Refining Techniques.

The deeper into the Earthflame Spring, the higher the temperature, and only at very high temperatures could the best cultivation effect be achieved.

Just as Lin Jing was preparing to submerge, Yan Wanfei suddenly spoke up:

“Brother Lin…”

“I remember you saying last time that your Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique was close to the seventh refinement’s completion, right?”

“When the seventh refinement is complete, won’t your body return to normal?”

Lin Jing nodded and said:

“That’s right…”

“If it’s soon, then today, or within these next few days, I should be able to fully cultivate the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique.”

Yan Wanfei nodded and then said:

“Good, Brother Lin, keep it up…”

“I’m going down first, today I have to break through the depth of fifty meters.”

After speaking, Yan Wanfei submerged into the spring.

And after Yan Wanfei went in, Lin Jing followed suit, diving into the deeper parts of the Earthflame Spring.

As Lin Jing continued to dive, the temperature around him grew hotter and hotter.

However, the current temperature was completely within Lin Jing’s tolerance.

Not only was he not using Spiritual Power to protect his body, but he also didn’t activate the golden light of the Overlord Divine Physique.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters…

Like this, Lin Jing kept diving deeper and deeper.

Finally, at around forty meters, Lin Jing saw Yan Wanfei.

After greeting Yan Wanfei, Lin Jing continued to dive towards the lower parts of the flame spring.

Soon, Lin Jing exceeded fifty meters.

Past the depth of fifty meters, there is actually a threshold.

The temperature below fifty meters is significantly higher than the temperature above it.

Even Lin Jing had to activate his Overlord Divine Physique, letting the layer of golden light cover his entire body.

Previously, Yan Wanfei was extremely shocked when he saw Lin Jing’s Overlord Divine Physique.

Especially upon seeing the special effects of the Overlord Divine Physique, he was incredibly envious.

However, regretfully…

As a Demon Cultivator, Yan Wanfei simply could not cultivate the Overlord Divine Physique but could only practice Body Refining Techniques unique to Demon Cultivators.

This made Yan Wanfei quite frustrated for a while.

……

Afterward, Lin Jing continued to dive.

Sixty meters, seventy meters, eighty meters…

This time, it took Lin Jing a bit longer to reach eighty meters.

Then, Lin Jing stopped for a while at the eightieth meter to adapt a little.

After that, Lin Jing continued his descent…

Eighty-five meters, ninety meters, ninety-five meters…

Ultimately, Lin Jing even directly dived to the ninety-ninth meter before stopping.

Any further down, and he would have exceeded one hundred meters.

However, that was not a barrier Lin Jing could break through at the moment.

Looking down, Lin Jing could even distinctly see the demarcation line between ninety-nine meters and one hundred meters…

Below him, it was exceedingly red, like magma, and emanated a terrifying heat.

Then, Lin Jing sat down cross-legged against the stone wall of the flame spring.

He closed his eyes and began to cultivate in this spot.
