"Senior Yang! Lin Chen is always the future elder of our Ghost Spirit Sect. I will truthfully inform our sect leader of this matter!"
Feeling the killing intent from Yang Tianfeng, Zhou Jiang gritted his teeth and finally agreed.
After all, he was outnumbered and outmatched by Yang Tianfeng at the moment.
If they were to fight, he would definitely be the one to suffer in the end.
More importantly, if he were to fight here today and be severely beaten by Yang Tianfeng, his reputation would be utterly ruined!
He would never be able to hold his head up in front of others again!
At this point, the wisest course of action was to leave first, inform the sect leader of the situation here, and let him make the decision, wasn't it?
"Hmph, get lost!"
Seeing Zhou Jiang back down, Yang Tianfeng revealed a hint of triumph.
Although his reputation as a lunatic was not pleasant, it was very useful when traveling in the cultivation world.
In this situation, if it were anyone else, how could they have made Zhou Jiang back down so easily?
"Lin Chen, I'm leaving now. This is a special jade token unique to our Ghost Spirit Sect. If you encounter any danger, you can crush this token, and experts from our Ghost Spirit Sect will rush to your aid immediately."
"Consider this a gift from our Ghost Spirit Sect!"
Zhou Jiang looked at Lin Chen, took out a jade token made of white jade, and handed it to Lin Chen.
Although he had not succeeded in fully recruiting Lin Chen this time, he had to leave a good impression on him, didn't he?
Moreover, according to Lin Chen, he had some good feelings towards the Ghost Spirit Sect.
As long as he got a definitive answer from his master, he would surely become a member of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
It wouldn't be too late to celebrate then!
Although Yang Tianfeng was here now, and he might try to recruit Lin Chen to join the Spirit Pill Sect,
This was no longer something he could control!
"Thank you, Senior!"
Seeing Zhou Jiang actually hand him a token, Lin Chen felt a hint of mockery.
If he hadn't known about his master's grudge beforehand, he might have had some good feelings towards the Ghost Spirit Sect.
But now, how could he truly thank them?
"Then I'll be leaving. If anything comes up, you can always contact me through Patriarch Xiao!"
After giving his instructions, Zhou Jiang turned and left.
However, his parting words caused Lin Chen and Elder Long's expressions to change slightly.
No wonder Zhou Jiang had arrived so quickly this time; it turned out that Patriarch Xiao had tipped him off!
If Zhou Jiang was called by Patriarch Xiao, then where did Yang Tianfeng get his information?
Despite his doubts, Elder Long dared not step forward to inquire.
"Lin Chen, tell me, what ingredients are needed to refine the Clear Heart Pill, and I will find them for you!"
"As long as you can help me refine enough Clear Heart Pills, I, this old man, will grant you three conditions!"
After Zhou Jiang left, Yang Tianfeng immediately turned to Lin Chen and stated his request.
He had indeed been a decent alchemist before and had used various pills to improve his cultivation.
But it was precisely because of this that he now had many hidden ailments in his body.
These hidden ailments could not be eradicated by his own means; only by continuously taking Clear Heart Pills could these toxins be slowly removed.
Over the years, he had realized that if he could not get rid of these toxins soon, he would die of poisoning before long.
Therefore, as soon as he got wind of the Clear Heart Pill, he rushed over regardless of everything.
But who knew he was still a step too late!
"Senior, if I want to become the Sect Master of the Spirit Pill Sect, will you agree to that too?"
Hearing Yang Tianfeng's promise, Lin Chen smiled slightly, not taking the man's words to heart.
Looking at the man's crazy demeanor, he was completely unreliable!
The importance of the Clear Heart Pill was self-evident.
Moreover, now that he had a spirit artifact-level alchemy furnace, as long as he had the medicinal ingredients, he could refine the Nascent Soul Pill!
He had many cultivators at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage around him, all of whom he trusted.
One Clear Heart Pill, plus one Nascent Soul Pill, and then a cultivator at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, would be equivalent to a Nascent Soul expert!
In that case, why wouldn't he use these three Clear Heart Pills to cultivate his own people?
Currently, whether it was his father or his second uncle, Lin Yuelong, who were protecting him with their lives?
"Kid, aren't you being a bit unreasonable?"
"The Sect Master of the Spirit Pill Sect is at least a fifth-grade alchemist. Do you think you're qualified?"
Hearing Lin Chen's request, Yang Tianfeng was almost choked to death.
He himself wanted to be the Sect Master of the Spirit Pill Sect, but he never could!
Now that Lin Chen had made such a request, he was simply making things difficult for him!
"Hahaha, senior, anyone can make empty promises."
"If you truly want the Clear Heart Pill, how about you be my bodyguard for a year?"
Seeing Yang Tianfeng's enraged expression, Lin Chen smiled slightly and stated his own condition.
Just now, that envoy from the Ghost Spirit Sect, Zhou Jiang, was so arrogant and imperious.
But as soon as he heard Yang Tianfeng's name, he became like a lapdog and slunk away.
It could be imagined that Yang Tianfeng's reputation in the cultivation world was indeed terrifying.
Since that was the case, why not tie him to his side, which would also be an additional helper?
"What? A year as a bodyguard?"
Hearing Lin Chen's request, Yang Tianfeng's eyes widened.
Good heavens, in the entire cultivation world, this was the first time anyone had dared to ask him to be a bodyguard!
This Lin Chen was truly audacious!
"That's right. I won't let you work for free for this year. As long as you can find the medicinal ingredients, I will refine one Clear Heart Pill for you every month, how about that?"
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and spoke again.
He had learned the Heavenly Physician's Treasure Tome, so he could naturally see that Yang Tianfeng, despite his rough exterior,
His meridians had long since been eroded by pill toxins.
And this was certainly why he was so anxious to obtain the Clear Heart Pill.
"Oh? Are you sure that as long as there are medicinal ingredients, it's one per month?"
Hearing Lin Chen's promise, Yang Tianfeng narrowed his eyes.
For others, the medicinal ingredients for the Clear Heart Pill were indeed difficult to find.
But he himself was an elder of the Spirit Pill Sect!
At worst, he could shamelessly go to the sect's treasury and steal some medicinal ingredients.
If he were discovered, he would merely be severely reprimanded by the sect leader.
This was insignificant compared to his own life!
