Age of Evolution

Chapter 625: Chapter 627: 3 Years of Hard Cultivation! (3 more updates)

Lin Zhen wasn’t joking with Thomas. On his way to find Thomas, he had already thought about this matter.

More than just thinking about it, he even had a plan in his mind.

Instead of going back to the alchemy room, he went straight to his own shop, where Lin Feng was also present.

When he arrived at the entrance of the shop, several Star Domain-Stage martial artists were standing casually at the door. Seeing Lin Zhen, they immediately waved their hands, “Closed for the day! No more stock today, go to other shops if you want to buy elixirs.”

Lin Zhen looked around and saw a World King sitting under a distant tree, obviously preventing others from buying elixirs.

“Make way, this is my shop.”

“Oh! So, it’s the Ice and Fire Alchemist who has arrived!”

“Hahaha, what’s the matter? Can’t sit still? If you can’t sit still, you can beg Mr. Gu, who might give you a meal if he is in a good mood.”

“Yeah, wanting to make a living in Xianle County’s elixir market without bowing to Mr. Gu’s pier, you really have guts!”

Lin Zhen glared at these Domain Kings, “Have you finished speaking? If you have, get lost!”

“What did you say? Are you tired of living?” The Domain Kings were about to make a move.

The World King walked over, waved his hand to drive them away.

“Mr. Lin Zhen, don’t bother with these uncouth people, but Mr. Gu asked me to pass you a message.”

“What’s there to say?”

“Mr. Gu said that he can offer you a monthly salary of one hundred million to become his dedicated alchemist, ensuring your elixirs are popular throughout Xianle County.”

“Is there anything else? If not, get lost!” Lin Zhen didn’t give this World King any face.

The World King’s face changed, wanting to make a move but remembering that Lin Zhen had been instructed as a priority by Gu Yunting, he dared not touch Lin Zhen. He pointed at Lin Zhen’s nose in the air, “Refusing a toast and being forced to drink a forfeit instead, I want to see how long your shop can hold up!”

Having said that, he returned to his previous position and continued to prevent others from entering the shop.

Lin Zhen returned to the shop and saw Lin Feng browsing Dimensional Universe goods.

“What are you doing?”

“Boss, you’re here. I’m looking for a powerful guy to go down together with that scumbag Gu Yunting!”

These days, Lin Feng had been happily collecting money, but this sudden turn of events had irritated him as well.

“Why do we have to go down together?” Lin Zhen sat down.

“Boss, if I were at the level of Level 9 World King, I would have killed that guy without a word, but his strength is stronger than mine, I’m not a match. If we don’t go down together, what else can I do? My dad said that he wouldn’t interfere as long as I don’t die outside.”

“Can you find detailed information about Gu Yunting?”

“Yes, his information is not a secret, and my access is very high. I’ll get it for you right away.”

In a short while, Lin Feng shared Gu Yunting’s information with Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen took the information to the break room and carefully examined it.

“Gu Yunting, Level 9 World King! Peak Sixth Grade Alchemist, Peak Sixth Grade Dark Alchemy Skill, estimated star power value of 2.3 million…!”

There was a lot more information, such as him being wealthy and all, but Lin Zhen only focused on this sentence.

He needed to figure out Gu Yunting’s strength so that he could take action.

At the World King level, even a Level one World King has a minimum star power of around 800,000.

Those slightly better ones all have over a million. For example, talents like Lin Feng have reached 1.5 million.

Gu Yunting, as a Level 9 World King, with a star power of 2.3 million, was average – not high nor low. But for Lin Zhen’s current level, it was still too high.

At least with his current 710,000 star power, there was no chance for Lin Zhen to compete with Gu Yunting.

Lin Zhen had his plan. He had to deal with Gu Yunting, but it didn’t necessarily have to be in person.

Since alchemy was temporarily paused, Lin Zhen decided to create an avatar.

A good avatar should have a higher realm than the original body. After Xiao Nuan’s revival, Lin Zhen hadn’t found a suitable avatar material yet.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to find one; it was just difficult to find. A Super Star River Beast as an avatar was no longer useful for the current Lin Zhen. For example, the Fire Kirin’s avatar had an actual star power level even lower than Lin Zhen’s original body and was not suitable for major use.

Only a better avatar would have a higher power limit.

But in the universe, the Super Star River Beast is perceived by most people as the best avatar material. Where could he find something even better?

Should he find another Black Hole Beast-level creature? Even if he could find one, it would only be on par with Lin Zhen’s original body, which wouldn’t be enough to deal with Gu Yunting.

Lin Zhen’s fingers tapped the table rhythmically as he quickly searched his memory.

He was reminiscing, but not about his own memories. Instead, he recalled those of Xu Xingyao.

Xu Xingyao has to be called a genius. He practiced Dark Alchemy Skill while simultaneously practicing alchemy. In the end, he found a way to survive when he was destined to die.

If he hadn’t encountered Lin Zhen and instead met someone else, Xu Xingyao would have certainly been able to come back to life and start anew.

Because his method of exorcism was an uncharted path that had never been seen before.

All other legends about exorcism are about a person who dies and has no choice but to exorcise others, but that’s not a given. The chances of success are slim to none. There has never been such a well-planned and assured exorcism like the one attempted by Xu Xingyao!

If Xu Xingyao had succeeded in the exorcism, he would have inherited Lin Zhen’s previous realm and power, Star System Level 4.

Now, Lin Zhen could also perform such a feat!

“Could it be possible to find someone on the verge of death to exorcise and then use as a separate body?”

“My Spiritual Power has now progressed to the Complete Realm of the Cui Mang Rank. If I want to exorcise someone, there is indeed a chance of success. However, it would not be easy to exorcise a high-level World King, even if they were about to die.”

Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power had advanced to the Complete Cui Mang after his last stint in the virtual space training in the Mirage.

Lin Zhen had also figured out the Spiritual Realm above the Cui Mang.

Above Cui Mang lies the Spiritual Nascent Soul!

The reason the 100% Cui Mang is completely different from the 99% Cerenkov radiation is that the spiritual power of the green life breath has reached saturation, and the nascent soul can begin forming within!

For example, Lin Zhen’s current Spiritual Power has begun to fully condense, without a single flaw, but there is still no sign of a nascent soul forming within.

If the Spiritual Power were to form a Divine Infant, not only would one’s own Spiritual Power skyrocket, but the Divine Infant could also fly out of the body, ignoring all physical defenses and attacks to directly attack the opponent’s Spiritual Consciousness Sea.

At this level, as long as the gap in realms isn’t too wide, a single Divine Infant can determine the outcome of a battle.

Lin Zhen felt that if he wanted to exorcise a World King expert, he should be able to do so once his Spiritual Power forms a Divine Infant.

“What I need now are spiritual power elixirs. I can ask my teacher for advice on this. Although the price of spiritual power elixirs is high, I should be able to afford them now.”

Thomas was still an excellent teacher. After Lin Zhen returned and asked him about the preparations of spiritual power elixirs, he taught Lin Zhen without reservation.

Although Thomas’s alchemy skills may not be the strongest among the sixth-grade alchemists, his mastery and understanding of elixirs can be considered those of a super master. Under his guidance, Lin Zhen’s skill in elixir study advanced rapidly, making great strides day by day.

However, configuring spiritual power elixirs is not easy, as Spiritual Power is the most complex thing. Lin Zhen needs a large amount of it, and only after advancing to a Fifth Grade Alchemist can he independently complete the configuration.

Lin Zhen simply focused on his studies intently. During this time, the Ice and Fire Divine Pill store did not close its doors. Lin Feng’s daily task was to continue guarding the pill shop, practicing alchemy every day, which made the people outside dare not take it lightly.

Lin Zhen seemed to be at an impasse with Gu Yunting, so he opted to stay in a stalemate. After all, the property was his own and if it wasn’t making money, it wasn’t a big deal. He knew the day would come when he could reopen for business.

*********

“What? That Lin Zhen refused my proposal!”

Tengtian Tower was Gu Yunting’s base. He, who was refining pills in the room, heard the reply from his subordinate World King and was somewhat stunned.

Soon after, Gu Yunting revealed a cold smile. He didn’t expect that there were people in this world who were so ignorant and completely disregarded his own face.

It seemed that young Alchemist was still too immature and didn’t understand who held sway in this market. Since that’s the case, he’ll make it so that his business operates completely unprofitably and see how long he manages to hold out.

One day, he will understand that if you want to do business with Elixirs in Xianle County, you have to listen to him!

He instructed his subordinates to continue on guard, and Gu Yunting slowly started the alchemy furnace.

“Failed again!”

“This Ice and Fire Divine Pill is so difficult to refine. I’ve studied it for so long and still can’t perfectly reproduce it. What is the Star System Stage Juyuan Powder? If I could refine the Juyuan Powder for the Star Domain Stage and World King stage, that would be the real money-making venture!” freewēbnoveℓ.com

Gu Yunting couldn’t help but envy Lin Zhen. This young man must be a genius in Alchemy. Given more time, if he still couldn’t see the true state of affairs, Gu Yunting would have no choice but to destroy Lin Zhen personally.

If he wanted to establish a firm footing in Xianle County’s Alchemy market, he had to make sure he was the strongest Alchemist. Although the Alchemy skills of the Guild President Huangfu Qi and Vice-President Thomas were not bad, they were still not as good as him.

He could only dominate the market and bring in a lot of money with the title of the strongest Alchemist, providing for the people behind him.

And only with the support of those behind him could he one day break through his realm, advance to Longevity, and not allow anyone to destroy the matters related to his life and wealth!

*********

Every day, Lin Zhen focused on learning Alchemy and mastering the principles of medicine. After the effects of the previously taken medicine disappeared, Lin Zhen would swallow Juyuan Powder once more, allowing his realm to improve.

The days went by like this for a full three years!

Lin Zhen had advanced from the original Star System Level 5 to Star System Level 8!

His Star Power had increased from 710,000 to 900,000!

More importantly, Lin Zhen had finally, through his own efforts, successfully advanced to a Fifth Grade Alchemist!
