"Hahaha, you little brat, trying to refine a Nascent Soul Pill? It's not that easy!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhang Yunlong instantly understood what he was thinking.
However, in the entire cultivation world, alchemists who could reach the third grade were already geniuses among geniuses.
To reach the fourth grade was as difficult as ascending to heaven!
The forces in the entire Dragon Country's cultivation world that possessed alchemists of the fourth grade or above could be described as exceedingly rare, and any one of them was a dominant power.
Moreover, the most important thing was that the method for refining the Nascent Soul Pill was extremely complicated, and the required medicinal ingredients were almost draconian. Furthermore, when refining the Nascent Soul Pill, heavenly thunder would descend.
Many alchemists had died under the tribulation of lightning when refining the Nascent Soul Pill.
This also led to many alchemists, even though they had reached the fourth grade, still not daring to refine the Nascent Soul Pill!
"Master, your disciple just wants to try."
Hearing Zhang Yunlong's comfort, a resolute expression appeared in Lin Chen's eyes.
His master had shown him a kindness of rebirth. If it weren't for him, he would likely be a released convict who couldn't even find a job, let alone have everything he had now.
And Zhang Yunlong's greatest wish was to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. As his disciple, how could he not want to repay this kindness?
"Fine, you have the intention, but the Nascent Soul realm cannot be forced!"
"Currently, there are many cultivators in the Dragon Country's cultivation world at the Core Formation stage, but reaching the Nascent Soul stage is one in ten thousand."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yunlong also sighed with emotion.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was now sparse. As long as a cultivator had good talent and the resources of their family and sect, it wasn't too difficult to reach the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stage.
But to break the Golden Core and form the Nascent Soul was truly not that simple.
How many cultivators were there in the Dragon Country? Yet, the total number of cultivators who had truly reached the Nascent Soul stage was only a few dozen.
And these individuals were, without exception, old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years. To achieve the Nascent Soul now was tantamount to climbing to heaven!
"Yes, Master."
"By the way, Master, do you know about the Zhejiang Province Cultivator Martial Arts Competition?"
Subsequently, Lin Chen asked the question he wanted to ask.
"Of course, I do. I even received an invitation letter this time and was planning to let your senior sister participate."
Hearing Lin Chen's inquiry, Zhang Yunlong nodded immediately, his expression full of certainty.
With the death of Xiao Kui, many so-called friends had come to visit him, and they had also invited him to participate. In the end, wasn't it just to test the strength of the Ghost God Sect?
"Master, Long Yu Ling from the Long family wants me to represent the Long family as a guest elder. What do you think, should I agree?"
Seeing that even his senior sister was going to participate, Lin Chen became curious.
The reason he came here today was to inquire about this Long family.
"Hehehe, of course, you can agree, but you must also make demands!"
"This Long family is a genuine first artifact refining family in the Dragon Country. Don't you want an alchemy furnace? Would you even be interested in a mere low-grade spirit artifact?"
Hearing Lin Chen's question, Zhang Yunlong burst into laughter.
"Ah? Master, the Long family is the number one artifact refining family in the Dragon Country?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen could not help but be shocked. No wonder the Long family's strength was declining year by year, yet they could maintain cooperation with the authorities. It turned out they were an artifact refining family!
"That's right, the low-grade spirit artifact that won first place in the Alchemist Grand Competition this time was refined by the Long family. You can participate for them, but tell them to give you a high-grade spirit artifact alchemy furnace first!"
Zhang Yunlong was not one to suffer losses. Especially for him now, his wife was dead, and his only remaining relative was Zhang Ying.
Lin Chen, his disciple, had high cultivation, great fortune, and, most importantly, was loyal and righteous. He now regarded Lin Chen as family.
And most importantly, Zhang Yunlong was an experienced person. Judging by the way his daughter looked at Lin Chen, his eldest disciple would become his son-in-law in the future!
With only these two family members, whom else would he support if not them?
"Understood, Master! Thank you for your guidance, Master! I'll go down and cultivate first, and then I'll personally visit the Long family in a few days."
After receiving Zhang Yunlong's guidance, Lin Chen left with great joy.
After Lin Chen left, Zhang Yunlong looked at Zhang Ying beside him and said, "Xiao Ying, your junior brother is destined for great things in the future. Although you are my daughter, if you want to be worthy of him, you must work even harder!"
At this moment, Zhang Yunlong sighed with emotion and a touch of wistfulness.
Even the eldest daughter of the Long family was now seeking help from Lin Chen. As far as he knew, this eldest daughter of the Long family was regarded as the most beautiful woman in the entire Zhejiang Province cultivation world!
"Hmph, Dad, I'm your daughter!"
Hearing Zhang Yunlong's admonishment, Zhang Ying's face instantly turned red, and she felt a little flustered.
But she herself knew very well that with the talent Lin Chen had displayed, he would surely have a place in the future of the Dragon Country's cultivation world.
If she wanted to stay by his side, she could only keep getting stronger.
That evening, in Zhejiang Province, Long Family.
Long Yu Ling had just returned to the Long family when she found a large group of people gathered in the family's reception hall, with even her grandfather personally present!
"Yu Ling is back?"
Seeing Long Yu Ling return, a father and two daughters rushed forward, acting very solicitously.
"Aunt, Second Aunt, what is this..."
Seeing these two women actually come to greet her proactively, Long Yu Ling was instinctively stunned, her expression filled with surprise.
Good heavens, her aunt and second aunt had always had a bad relationship with her. Usually, when they met, she would inevitably be lectured.
But now? They actually came to greet her. Was the sun rising from the west?
"Yu Ling, you're finally back. Young Master Liu has been waiting for you for a long time!"
However, the following words made Long Yu Ling's heart sink to the bottom.
Indeed, as soon as the aunt finished speaking, a young man in a suit stood up from the corner of the reception hall, his expression full of smiles. It was the eldest young master of the Liu family, Liu Huaiyu!
"Yu Ling, long time no see. I was in seclusion during this period and didn't have time to visit you. As soon as I came out of seclusion, I wanted to see you."
"I heard from your uncle and aunt that you would be back soon, so I waited here for a while."
Liu Huaiyu spoke to Long Yu Ling with the demeanor of a gentle scholar, explaining.
