At the end of the dinner, everyone wanted to do something for Ye Lin.
The result was that Li Xuan and Zhao Xiaoyu took their Dao protectors to the Leng family of the Earth-grade Cultivation Academy to intimidate them or slay a few high-ranking members of the family.
As for the old drunkard, Jian Wuji, and Senior Xiao Jintian, they prepared to seek out the Son of Destiny of the evil spirit race and Mo Wushang to settle scores.
As for Xu Qing'an, he and Su Miao'er returned to the Mysterious-grade Cultivation Academy to prepare for their promotion to a higher-level cultivation academy.
Everyone came and went in a hurry. Originally, Ye Lin had not planned on having them help, as he would kill as many enemies as came, but in the end, he could not refuse their overwhelming hospitality.
However, this did not affect him much. After all, his greatest source of rewards was still the evil spirit race; other enemies were at most just extra pocket money.
Once he went to the Mysterious-grade Cultivation Academy, there would be plenty of evil spirits waiting for him to harvest.
“Have a safe trip!”
After waving goodbye to everyone's flying vessel from high in the sky above Tianqi City, Ye Lin activated the trait 【Forced Swap】 to exchange positions with the furthest air.
Thus, in no time, he returned to the Inner Academy of the Tianyuan Cultivation Academy.
Senior Xiao Jintian had originally planned to stay behind to back him up and arrange his entry into the Mysterious-grade Cultivation Academy before leaving.
But Ye Lin told him that Senior Zhu Xuanwei had already decided to personally accompany him through all the tournaments. Hearing this outcome, Xiao Jintian departed with a smile.
Having cultivated inside the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda for several months straight, Ye Lin rewarded himself with a long, deep sleep in bed as soon as he returned to the academy.
【Ding! A new day has begun. Would you like to continue accumulating your Immortal Destiny?】
The next morning, he was awakened by the game prompt.
“Continue accumulating,” he murmured in his heart as he opened his eyes, springing out of bed.
After washing up, he dashed into the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda to study the various basic formation path books he had purchased earlier.
With the traits 【Diligence Compensates for Clumsiness】 and 【Supreme of Formations】, his speed in learning formations was even faster than eating or drinking water.
With just a sweep of his divine sense, he could thoroughly master all basic formation knowledge. If he had formation materials, he could set up many formations right now.
Such as the simplest Spirit Gathering Formation, Sound-Isolating Formation, Defensive Formation, and so on.
After finishing all the basic formation path knowledge in one go, he exited the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda with a thought.
Currently, his Alchemist rank was only at the Earth-grade, still a long way off from the Saint-grade Alchemist rank required for the Divine Aperture Pill.
Therefore, during the six days before the upcoming Inner Academy Genius Tournament, he planned to push his way to becoming a Saint-grade Alchemist and learn more advanced formations.
To achieve this, he naturally needed to go to the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce to purchase a large amount of alchemy materials and advanced formation books.
After leaving the cave dwelling hall, he paid a visit to Qi Changqing and handed over a pile of pills, cultivation methods, spells, spiritual weapons, and other natural treasures.
These were all obtained from the treasury of the Blackwater Serpent Clan, and many of them had even been replicated a thousand times by him.
Qi Changqing, who looked forward to Ye Lin giving him missions every day to farm rewards from the mysterious book in his mind, was instantly ecstatic upon receiving this task and immediately went to execute it.
Arriving at the Xuanqing Market once again, many senior Inner Academy disciples showed expressions of awe and complexity upon seeing him.
On one hand, they clearly saw the immense gap between themselves and Ye Lin, which caused their mental state to collapse slightly.
On the other hand, they were grateful to Ye Lin for eliminating all the evil spirits in the Tianyuan Dynasty, as this was essentially saving their lives.
Without paying too much attention to their gazes, he headed straight for the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce.
This time, the one who received him was the branch president of the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce here.
He was a chubby, middle-aged fat man who looked simple and honest, but his eyes were full of shrewdness.
“Fellow Daoist Ye, the high-level executives of the chamber of commerce already know about your inclusion on the Heavenly Dao Kill List. Those big shots asked me to inquire if you need our protection.”
“Rest assured, all protection is completely free. You don't need to pay anything.”
Just as he led Ye Lin into an elegant room, the branch president, Pang Yue, spoke with a serious expression.
Hearing this, Ye Lin could not help but be startled. Judging by Pang Yue's tone, the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce dared to go head-to-head with this world's Heavenly Dao.
It seemed that the power of the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce was likely even greater than he had imagined.
“Please convey to the high-level executives that I appreciate their goodwill, but for now, I can handle it myself.”
Without even thinking, Ye Lin shook his head politely.
He happened to have never harvested any truly top-tier geniuses of this world yet. Perhaps killing a Son of Destiny who came looking for trouble would drop an incredible special reward for him.
However, since the high-level executives of the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce were so considerate, he would naturally keep this kindness in mind.
In the future, if the chamber of commerce ever needed help, he would naturally do his best to assist.
“Alright, then do you have any other needs, Fellow Daoist Ye? I might as well fetch all the Golden Core Stage cultivation resources promised by the chamber of commerce for you.”
Hearing Ye Lin say he did not need protection for the time being, Pang Yue did not seem surprised at all.
After all, he knew about all of Ye Lin's recent earth-shattering deeds within the Tianyuan Dynasty, and he knew that Ye Lin was a genius with Taboo-grade combat power, so he must have his own plans.
Of course, it was naturally impossible for Pang Yue to know that Ye Lin could convert killed enemies into his Reincarnation Legion.
“I need advanced formation manuals and formation materials. According to market price, give me ten copies of each kind.”
After some thought, Ye Lin spoke. As for the alchemy materials, he still planned to have Xiao Chen disguise himself and continue purchasing them from multiple shops.
After all, if he wanted to refine pills at lightning speed in the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda, replicate them, and then sell them in large quantities...
It was still best not to attract attention to such matters if possible.
And although having Xiao Chen disguise himself to buy alchemy materials and then handing the pills to Qi Changqing for sale might still attract the attention and investigation of interested parties...
Without purchase and sales records, any investigation by others would be useless. Even if they had suspicions, that would be a matter for a long time in the future.
At the very least, in the short term, he could continue to refine pills in peace.
As for the future, so what if others found out he possessed a supreme treasure that accelerated time? By then, his cultivation would have already reached the heavens, and who would have the courage to snatch it from him?
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
After arranging for a beautiful maidservant to brew tea and massage Ye Lin's shoulders, Pang Yue went to the secret treasury to fetch the cultivation resources.
Over half an hour later, Ye Lin left the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce with the items he needed.
Then, he summoned Xiao Chen from the Undying Burial Ground and had him go to various shops to purchase alchemy materials and pill formulas. Of course, cauldrons and the like also needed to be prepared.
Over two hours later, Xiao Chen returned with all the alchemy materials and alchemy cauldrons.
Putting Xiao Chen back into the Undying Burial Ground, Ye Lin returned to his cave dwelling, then went into the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda to continue his secluded cultivation.
