Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

by Flying Alone 孤单地飞

  No one went into the water to fish because the water temperature was too cold. Even if Spiritual Pedestal Tier warriors went into the water, it wouldn’t take much time for them to be frozen into a block of ice.

  Ling Han was instantly enthused as he said to Guang Yuan and Li Si Chan, “Let’s also fish!”

  There were almost all kinds of materials inside the Black Tower, and very soon, the three of them all had a fishing kit. The fishing line that Ling Han used was formed by Blood Sucking Origin Gold, and he then took out a bunch of ginsengs from the Black Tower—this was bait.

  The Absolute Cold Ice Heart Fish itself was a super tonic medicine, so it also loved to eat spirit medicine—this would be the best bait. However, spirit medicine was extremely precious, so how many people here could take out a second tier or third tier spirit medicine—anything higher they probably didn’t have, and even if they did, how much would they have?

  Precisely so, everyone’s gains were so little. The bait wasn’t very effective, so why would the Absolute Cold Ice Heart Fish take the bait?

  What Ling Han lacked least was spirit medicine, and he definitely didn’t lack those below the fifth tier.

  He took out hundred years old ginsengs, and all were at least hundred-year-old; it wasn’t that he didn’t have thousand-year-old ones, but that it was too wasteful to use it for fishing.

  Ling Han threw some ginseng to Guang Yuan and Li Si Chan while everyone looked at these stalks of ginsengs, which were thick as an arm, being thrown around like carrots—their faces involuntarily twitched.

  Oh, envy and hate—he was too wealthy!

  Ling Han coiled the ginseng with Blood Sucking Origin Gold, flung it casually, and it landed at the center of the lake, causing slight ripples.

  In a short while, Ling Han revealed a smile as his right hand shook, immediately pulling back Blood Sucking Origin Gold. Shua , a large fish was pulled out of the water, two feet long and still whipping its tail vigorously.

  Compared to other people’s baits, the hundred-year-old ginseng’s attractiveness was naturally far greater, and other people’s fishing lines couldn’t extend to the lake’s center; only Ling Han’s could, so it was a large one right off the bat.

  Ling Han suddenly had an idea and said to Small Tower, “The growth of spirit grasses can be sped up inside the Black Tower… then can these fish that require harsh environments be raised?” If so, he wouldn’t eat them. Raising all these fish inside would be equivalent to another treasure.

  “No!” Small Tower immediately said.

  Ling Han couldn’t help but be disappointed. He would have to fish up as much as possible, and the ones he couldn’t finish would be made into dried fish—all of it would be taken away!

  He changed to another ginseng and threw the line into the lake’s center. In a short while, there was a harvest again.

  Because the bait was outstanding, even Guang Yuan and LI Si Chan frequently had gains; however, since they fished by the lakeside, the fish that were caught weren’t large, about a foot long and incomparable to what Ling Han caught.

  Even so, the other martial artists fishing by the lakeside already had gazes full of desire, wishing they could steal some. However, facing a Heaven Grade alchemist, who dared to act recklessly? If there wasn’t anyone else here though, it would be alright—who would know if they were killed?

  There was another problem; Ling Han’s battle prowess was extremely astonishing, and although he didn’t take the field in the prodigy battle, how terrifying was twenty stars Spiritual Infant Tier battle prowess? Even if it were with the assistance of a Spirit Tool, one had to have a roughly similar Spirit Tool to resist, right?

  Therefore, they could only drool secretly by the side.

  However, there were always those who were restless—if I can’t steal from you, and can’t get more than you… who doesn’t know how to cause trouble? The lake rippled as several people were throwing stones inside the lake, instantly startling the school of fish into running towards the lakebed.

  Ling Han instantly frowned and said to Guang Yuan, “Drive those people away!”

  “Yes, Master Han!” Guang Yuan immediately stood up, out for a kill. Returning to the Spiritual Pedestal Tier, he was just itching to fight.

  He took large strides over, killing intent overflowing.

  The expression of the nearest troublemaker instantly changed as he yelled towards Guang Yuan, “What’re you trying to do?”

  “Making you piss off!” Guang Yuan attacked, firing a punch. Five War Elephants surged out, firing at the person.

  “Damn it!” The person hurriedly parried whilst shouting loudly, “Master Ling, you’re too high-handed, this lake isn’t yours, why are you letting your subordinate assault me? You’re trying to take the place all for yourself?”

  “Quite right, too high-handed! Worldly treasures naturally belong to the people of the world, what are you trying to do?” someone chimed in, naturally being one of the other troublemakers.

  “Driving people away at every turn, that’s too much!” More trouble makers leapt out and approached Guang Yuan.

  They naturally didn’t dare to do anything to Ling Han who was a Heaven Grade alchemist, but Guang Yuan was different, only a dog of a Heaven Grade alchemist. A dog, well, slaughtering it was no big deal, because they were all came from large sects and had the self-assurance.

  Just like Yao Hui Yue not caring about Earth Grade alchemist, although these people weren’t wild to that degree, the possibility of the them needing to request a Heaven Grade alchemist was almost zero, so why should they give him face?

  Mainly, they were still young and arrogant, while Ling Han was too young, making them envious.

  They gave Ling Han a great unwarranted burden. First standing firm with reason, even if Ling Han looked for trouble at their sects in the future, they could be justified and confident. After all, in the north region, what difference was there between a Heaven Grade alchemist and an earth Grade one?

  Sects respected high tier alchemists, but definitely wouldn’t take them at their word.

  Guang Yuan’s battle prowess was very strong, but he only just entered the Spiritual Pedestal Tier after all. The breakthrough this time was returning to Spiritual Pedestal Tier, and couldn’t bring him the benefits from the Heavenly Luck Stone, so his battle prowess was about four stars. Faced with the elite disciples of these large sects, one or two was alright, but any more, he could no longer resist.

  Under the surrounded attacks of six people, Guang Yuan was in imminent danger.

  The non-troublemakers watched the show by the side. Ling Han was too young, yet they had to pay respects to such a youngster and call him master; they were naturally annoyed on the inside, only too glad to enjoy the show.

  Ling Han’s gaze turned cold as he stood up abruptly, walking towards the fray.

  “Master Ling, are you going to personally intervene?” a troublemaker said in a mocking tone. He wasn’t a figure on the prodigy roll, but was extremely conceited and didn’t believe that Ling Han once fired out battle prowess of twenty stars Spiritual Infant Tier, thinking that someone intentionally lied in order to praise Ling Han.

  Ling Han revealed a cold smile and said, “Since you guys aren’t willing to get lost, then you can all stay here!”

  His right hand shook and the Demon Birth Sword was unleashed. With a slash, the troublemaker’s head immediately flew. Pu , blood started spilling violently out of the neck, rushing to a foot high before falling back down.

  Pa , the head fell on the ground with an expression of disbelief still on the face, its owner never expecting that Ling Han would suddenly kill him!

  He was a disciple of the Blood Flame Valley, the strongest sect from the north region, and all those who attacked him had to think before they acted.

  The gory slaughter instantly intimidated everyone. Killing a disciple of the Blood Flame Valley
without hesitation, this meant that Ling Han had no qualms at all! Hiss, Could a Heaven Grade alchemist really be so willful?

  Ling Han walked towards Guang Yuan. His killing intent overflowed, making the six troublemakers feel pressure all at once as they retreated involuntarily. However, it was too late as Ling Han struck, six flashes of Sword Qi slashing towards the six people.

  Pu, pu, pu, pu, the six people had no power to resist at all and were instantly sliced into two. The severed limbs and heads spilled over, blood everywhere.

  Everyone was terrified.

  The status of alchemists was beyond the norm, and a large part of that reason was because they didn’t take part in dispute of interests with martial artists, so they could stay beyond the norm; otherwise, with contention came conflict—how would could they be beyond the norm?

  It was unheard of for an alchemist to take part in competing for treasures, because alchemists knew why their status was beyond the norm—they isolated themselves from contention of benefits.

  However, Ling Han was without restraint, not only entering the mystery realm, but also killing resolutely and mercilessly, making people frightened!

  The seven troublemakers were executed. Ling Han sheathed his sword and stared coldly at the surrounding people before returning to the original position, continuing to fish.

  He could pretend nothing happened, but the other people couldn’t. Those seven corpses with severed heads and heads still lay there—who could pretend not to see. Some people began to shiver in fear that Ling Han’s murderous side would erupt, killing them all to do away with witnesses.

  These people left quietly, but some people were unwilling to give up on the Absolute Cold Ice Fish, still fishing.

  With one forenoon, Ling Han already fished up over a hundred Absolute Cold Ice Heart Fish. On top of Li Si Chan and Guang Yuan’s gains, their total reached one hundred and fifty, which was more than the total gain of everyone at the scene.

  This was precisely the principle of good tools being necessary for the successful execution of a job.

  When it was afternoon, Ling Han raised a bonfire and began to boil these treasured fish.

  Four were roasted, and four were made into soup. Ling Han also added several spirit medicines. As it was boiling, the alluring fragrance spread out, making people drool. Moreover, this wasn’t just the fragrance, because in the furnace appeared flashes of brilliance that soared into the sky, an amazing sight.

  It was the greatly tonic food that attracted the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth, forming a distinct sight.

  Everyone looked on enviously and hurriedly began boiling for themselves. However, they didn’t have any spirit medicine to add in, so the soup they made was only light soup and couldn’t be compared to Ling Han’s pot at all.

  Ling Han looked at Yue Kai Yu and suddenly said, “Brother Yue, join us for a meal?”

  Yue Kai Yu was startled, never thinking that Ling Han would actually open up to invite him. After being startled momentarily, he pointed at himself and said, “Me?”

  “What, Brother Yue won’t give me face?” Ling Han said smilingly. “I hear you and Old Brother Guang have had a friendly relationship.”

  Yue Kai Yu naturally recognized Guang Yuan. Back then, the three of them entered the subsect of the Thousand Corpse Sect in Sea Flow City, forming a friendship through battle. However, back then the other person was “Han Lin,” and not Ling Han, so Yue Kai Yu didn’t dare to approach—Ling Han was a Heaven Grade alchemist after all.

  “Hahaha, receiving Master Ling’s invitation, how could I dare not give face?” He took large strides over, and sat on the ground.

  The four of them each took a corner.

  Ling Han took out plates; it was exactly one grilled fish and a bowl of fish soup for each person. Inside the fish soup, neither the fish nor the spirit medicine could be seen, all stewed as the essence all entered the soup, which now appeared snow-white.

  Yue Kai Yu’s expression was somewhat strange. Four roasted fish, could Ling Han already have had the idea of inviting him?

  “Here, don’t be a stranger!” Ling Han grabbed a roasted fish and started to eat.

  Li Si Chan and Guang Yuan naturally wouldn’t hesitate. Those who have eaten with Hu Niu naturally formed the habit of eating quickly, or else there definitely would be no food to eat—this was a hard-learned lesson.

  Yue Kai Yu was bold an uninhibited in character, immediately tossing away formalities as he began to gobble down.

  “Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!” he immediately praised greatly. “Big fish are quite different, not only the texture of the meat is more succulent, and the essence of the treasured medicine is also richer. I guess if I ate a dozen, I could improve by one small tier!”

  Guang Yuan also nodded; this was of immense help to him.

  Li Si Chan couldn’t speak at all, as multi-colored light surged out endlessly form her exquisite body; the meat and treasured medicine had already come into effect and were in the process of drastically increasing her cultivation—her breakthrough was imminent.

  It was mainly because her tier was too low—Spiritual Pedestal Tier warriors needed dozen fishes to advance, but for a Gushing Spring Tier, it was truly one bite for a small tier.

  Ling Han was extremely pleased. He was going to save some dried fish for Ling Dong Xing. Once Ling Dong Xing’s spirit base was repaired, it could be imagined that his cultivation would have a shockingly explosive growth—reaching the ninth layer of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier in three years definitely wasn’t a dream.

  Li Si Chan couldn’t even eat a second bite, and immediately sat on the ground to adjust, preparing to charge towards the fourth layer of the Gushing Spring Tier.

  Yue Kai Yu felt it strange. Only young geniuses could enter, and young was in terms of tier to age; a hundred-year-old Spiritual Infant Tier definitely belonged under the young.

  However, Li Si Chan was only at the Gushing Spring Tier, and her age was roughly twenty. Such a “genius” could be seen anywhere, so how did she qualify to enter the mystery realm?

  However, as he drank the fish soup and ate the roasted fish, he soon forgot this topic. After he finished eating, he immediately sat cross-legged to adjust so as to refine the benefits inside his body as quickly as possible for it to truly be absorbed by the body.

  Guang Yuan also did the same. He had just broken through and needed the nourishment of such treasures.

  Only Ling Han was depressed. His Spiritual Pedestal was built too large, so while Guang Yuan and Yue Kai Yu only needed a dozen fish to advance one layer, he probably needed several hundred.

  Moreover, this was only the second layer of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier; when it was fifth layer, or after the eight layer, who knew how much this amount would increase by.

  So, all he had to do was fish some more.

  Ling Han continued to boil Absolute Cold Ice Heart Fish. He prepared to turn himself into a chowhound, angling whilst eating fish.

  The fish here were definitely stupid. With no one fishing for hundreds of years, they kept coming one after another even after several hundreds of their pals disappeared, complying with an old saying: humans died in pursuit of wealth, and birds died in pursuit of food.

  At night, Ling Han already fished up over three hundred Absolute Cold Ice Heart Fish, and after slaughtering them, he stored them inside the Black Tower, making sure to lock the essence component and prevent it from running off.

  A night passed, and Ling Han continued to fish on the second day, but after a day, his harvest was much less compared to the previous day’s—only two hundred or so. It was unclear whether these fish got smarter, or there was a shortage of the entire population.

  Another day passed, Ling Han’s harvests further decreased on the third day, with only a little over one hundred.

  Everyone shook their heads. This lake might be small, but the amount of Absolute Cold
Ice Heart Fish it could support was limited—there was just about that much.

  Hong, long, long, a whirlpool suddenly formed at the lake’s center.

  Originally, quite a few people already planned to leave, but as they saw this scene, they couldn’t help but be surprised—was some treasure about to come into the world?

  This wasn’t impossible; could a place where Absolute Cold Ice Heart Fish could live be an ordinary place?

  The whirlpool spun fiercely and grew larger and larger. Hong , a surprising scene appeared as a strange creature emerged from the whirlpool. It had the head of a lion, but the body of a crocodile. It also had six legs and grew a pair of eagle wings on its back; its entire body’s length was about three feet or so.

  Now, this monster fluttered its eagle wings and flew towards the shore. Opening its wings, it emitted a terrifying presence.

  Everyone was terrified; this was a Flower Blossom Tier beast!

  It was over; there were no Flower Blossom Tier martial artists here, so how could they resist such a monster?

  Ling Han, however, revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. This beast emitted a presence far beyond normal Flower Blossom Tier beasts, being no weaker than the Gold-Blooded Demonic Ape in the Dark Demon Forest.

  A king tier creature!

  As expected of a mystery realm. He’d only entered for a few days and already encountered two king tier beasts! King tier beasts were equivalent to treasured medicine of the same tier—those of the highest quality at that. Now, they appeared one after another—was it not a pleasant surprise?

  Besides, the rock spirit could also be considered to be of the king tier, and even stronger than normal king tier beasts because it was spirit of the five elements, birthed by heaven and earth.

  “Run!” It was unknown who first yelled out the word as everyone fled in disarray. Spiritual Ocean Tier and Spiritual Pedestal Tier cultivators encountered a Flower Blossom Tier being—other than running, what else could they do?
