“No way! How can that be done?”
“Senior sister, please consider this again!”
“The mythological secret realm is the greatest secret of our Martial Essence Society. This Feng Lin is just an outsider, how can we allow him to enter the secret realm so easily?”
…
After Zhao Yue`e spoke, the people in the surroundings were greatly shocked. They ignored the fact that Feng Lin was present and began to object with loud voices, feeling that they had no way to accept this.
Yet, Zhao Yue`e wasn’t fl.u.s.tered. She asked Iron Pillar, “What do you think?”
“I feel we should bring him along.” Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Iron Pillar actually agreed.
“What?” These people didn’t dare to believe what they just heard.
They knew that Iron Pillar was someone who had the strongest amount of wariness in his heart. How could he agree to such an audacious thought by their senior sister?
They didn’t understand.
“I’m concerning myself with fact and not the individual.” Iron Pillar shook his head. “This mythological secret realm contains countless secrets, and there are opportunities everywhere. If we bring him along, we might really be able to find a source of true fire. With a true fire, the Dustfall Immortal Pill would be perfectly restored and senior sister Zhao would also be able to make use of this to break through to the elite adept realm. This is the most important thing right now. Only then can our Martial Essence Society expand and grow stronger in the Great Wall University.
“You must know that the compet.i.tion is incomparably intense within the school. Our society just recently flourished. Although senior sister managed to obtain the number one ranking on the moon-level board, as long as we don’t have an elite adept cultivator as our leader, we would always be inferior to those peak powers in the school. Our foundations would be too weak. As a small society, we cannot be too reserved. Only by acting boldly would we have the hope to catch up to the other powers!’
“Not bad, these are my thoughts as well.” Zhao Yue`e nodded.
Upon seeing the two doyens of their society agree, although those people still felt reluctant, they could only temporarily endure this. It was just that their emotions were plain on their faces.
The slot to enter the mythological secret realm was limited and exceedingly valuable. Senior sister Zhao only managed to grab a few name slots from the other large society, but now, they had to give up one of the slots for this Feng Lin? How could these people not feel reluctant?
They silently blamed themselves for being helpless, unable to aid their senior sister. They weren’t even able to compare to an elite cultivator.
They silently determined that they would surely work even harder. There would be a day where they could help their senior sister to expand the society, causing the Martial Essence Society to become the number one society in the Great Wall University.
“Since there are no objections. This matter is settled then. Five days later, when exploring the mythological secret realm, I will bring Feng Lin and Iron Pillar with me,” said Zhao Yue`e.
Everyone could only nod helplessly.
Feng Lin lowered his face, but he felt joy in his heart.
No matter what, he finally obtained the qualifications to enter the mythological secret realm.
…
The five days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
Feng Lin, Zhao Yue`e, and Iron Pillar gathered together. From their location, they could already see a ring-shaped flying shuttle resting on the top of the fixed star fortress. It seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.
Near the flying shuttle, the four other teams stood together; each consisted of three members.
“Who is this?” When Feng Lin appeared, he instantly drew judgmental looks from others.
A golden-haired man with a sharp gaze stared at Feng Lin like he wanted to pierce him through.
“Zhao Yue`e, are your actions not too over the top? We stated clearly before that the mythological secret realm is a secret shared by our five societies, and we cannot leak this to others. Why did you bring an outsider?” He asked in an overbearing tone.
“This is Feng Lin, he is a medicinal refinement master and has created his own medicinal refinement technique. He managed to restore 50% of an ancient immortal pill,” said Zhao Yue`e calmly. She then continued, “Given his ability, he would be able to help us in the mythological secret realm.”
“Hmmph, restoring ancient immortal pills with his capabilities?” the golden-haired man spoke with contempt. He glanced at Feng Lin; there was a look of disbelief on his face.
An elite cultivator could restore an ancient immortal pill?
Who was she lying to?
The other three team captains also spoke out, feeling extremely unhappy.
“That’s right, Zhao Yue`e. You best not weave nonsensical lies!”
“The slots to enter the mythological secret realm are limited. If you don’t want to use it properly, you can give it to us. There’s no need to come up with such a ridiculous reason and waste a proper slot.”
“That’s right. Although I don’t know what transaction you have with this brat, not everyone can be qualified enough to use one of the slots for entering the secret realm.”
…
The auras of these four captains were extremely terrifying, actually not in any way inferior to Zhao Yue`e.
Zhao Yue`e was already the number one expert among the adept level. However, the cultivation bases of these people might already be in the elite adept realm; hence, they didn’t fear her at all.
Numerous gazes turned to Feng Lin, flickering with disdain. Their words clearly exhibited their feelings for him.
Feng Lin remained unmoved. It was like these people weren’t talking about him.
Now, he was together with Zhao Yue`e. She had to step out and take charge of this matter.
Zhao Yue`e was the leader. If he stepped out now and reb.u.t.ted these people, the outcome would surely be even more negative.
If this Zhao Yue`e chose to evade upon facing difficulties, Feng Lin would have to consider whether it would be a good decision to stick with her.
If not, he might be cheated even before he knew what had happened!
Luckily, Zhao Yue`e didn’t disappoint him. She soon took her stance.
After all, Feng Lin was someone she brought here. How could she allow others to vilify him casually?
She stretched her hand out, revealing a medicinal crystal that radiated a mystical light. The moment she took that out, the attention of everyone turned to it, drawn within the crystal.
The cultivation bases of everyone here weren’t weak. They could clearly sense the vast amount of medicinal potency within the crystal. By just sniffing a whiff of its fragrance, their genetic force began to churn with excitement.
“This is…?” Their gazes were filled with astonishment.
“How much are you selling this?”
“I’m willing to pay 5,000 contribution points. Sell it to me.”
“You have the face to even mention 5,000? I will pay 10,000!”
“I will pay 20,000!”
…
Earlier, they were still filled with disbelief. But now, they were on the verge of fighting each other to buy this medicinal crystal.
Being able to become an elite adept meant that they knew the number of medicinal substances that could affect them was extremely limited.
Thus, the moment this medicinal crystal appeared, they weren’t able to control their eagerness.
“I’m sorry, this is not for sale.” Zhao Yue`e retracted her hand. The medicinal crystal in her hand disappeared in a flash, causing the hearts of everyone to be filled with itch.
She pointed to Feng Lin and calmly spoke, “Right now, I only have a single dustfall medicinal crystal. How can I sell it to you all? But the person who refined it is here today. If you all want to buy this, why don’t you all look for him?”
Everyone silently pondered, her words made sense!
Their gazes began to fill with a fervent look as they stared at Feng Lin.
Feng Lin, who was a poor and insignificant brat in their eyes, suddenly became an extremely important person.
“He is the one who refined this dustfall medicinal crystal.” Zhao Yue`e had a teasing smile on her face. “Now, do any of you still doubt his qualifications to enter the mythological secret realm?”
“We were just kidding.” They laughed. When they stared at Feng Lin again, all of them looked at him in a new light. Even their breathing changed.
“Master, do you have more of these medicinal crystals?”
“Can you sell me one? How about 10,000 points for one? I will buy all you want to sell.”
“I will pay 20,000 for one!”
…
They continued to increase the stakes, competing with each other frenziedly, causing Feng Lin to roll his eyes.
However, this was a pretty good way to become wealthy.
He was very clear why Zhao Yue`e was doing this. She wanted to help him expand his fame.
If his fame as a medicinal refinement master spread, he wouldn’t have to worry about not having enough contribution points in the future.
But due to rationality, Feng Lin didn’t hastily accept all these purchasing requests.
He still had three of the dustfall medicinal crystals with him. However, if he took them out now, his secret might be revealed.
(It’s better to keep a low profile!)
However, this was such a good opportunity to get contribution points; he didn’t want to waste it.
After pondering, Feng Lin spoke, “I apologize. I only managed to refine two dustfall medicinal crystals. Now, I don’t have any stock left. If you all want some, you have to provide me with the ingredients. I can only a.s.sure that I can refine two medicinal crystals out of ten portions of ingredients. For each successfully concocted medicinal crystal, you all have to pay me 10,000 contribution points as the concoction fee. Are you all willing?”
“Alright, it’s settled then!”
“I agree!”
“This is good!”
…
Despite such harsh conditions, everyone actually accepted it, which was contrary to his expectations. They didn’t hesitate at all.
After all, no matter how valuable medicinal ingredients were, if they were not refined into genetic potions, they were nothing but trash.
If someone could transform the ingredients into a semi-finished immortal pill, the buyer would actually profit from it.
What a bunch of future wealthy clients these people were.
Feng Lin discovered that he had underestimated the temptation of the dustfall medicinal crystals to these people.
“Master, please board the shuttle.” Their att.i.tudes became incomparably respectful, welcoming Feng Lin, Zhao Yue`e and Iron Pillar onto the flying shuttle.
Those with true capabilities would always be respected no matter where they went.
The flying shuttle soon took off, transforming into a beam of light that shot into the dark outer s.p.a.ce, vanis.h.i.+ng in the blink of an eye.
