Eternal Life: I Can Harvest Demon Beast Talents

Lin Changheng swept his Divine Sense over the Array and the Token, immediately understanding that the Array offered no protection or barrier against outsiders; it only served as a warning system.

He knew without even thinking about it that any unauthorized entry would trigger it, summoning the Law Enforcement Team.

As for the Bronze Token, it appeared ordinary, but with his solid foundation in the Array Dao, Lin Changheng could see it was actually an "Array Flag." It shared the same origin as the Array, allowing him to pass through freely without triggering the alarm.

As soon as he flew high above the lake’s surface, a dense wave of Spiritual Qi, mingled with water vapor, washed over him.

Lin Changheng felt it was even slightly denser than in his own cave residence.

The deeper he went, the denser the Spiritual Qi became, reaching at least the level of Tier Two Upper Grade.

This was also the location of Shuiyue Pavilion.

However, Lin Changheng knew that further in, the purity and concentration of the Spiritual Qi would reach the quality of Tier Three.

...

A series of nine pavilions, with gracefully upturned eaves, were built upon the turquoise waves, all interconnected by covered bridges.

Misty vapor rose and swirled between them, creating an ethereal, fairyland-like scene.

Guided by the White Robe Envoy, Lin Changheng landed on a platform outside one of the pavilions.

"Alchemist Lin, please come in and speak with me."

The moment he landed, a woman’s voice drifted out from within, inviting him inside.

"Of course."

Lin Changheng replied and stepped inside, only to find the parlor empty.

Then, the sound of soft footsteps echoed. Lin Changheng glanced to the side and saw a Female Cultivator descending gracefully from the upper floor.

She wore a flowing, snow-white silken dress that reached her shoes. The fabric was no mortal silk; it rippled like water, as if she had draped a miniature sky full of clouds over her body.

Her jet-black hair fell like a waterfall, held loosely in place by a simple Cyan Jade Hairpin, with the rest cascading down to her waist.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, but not in a delicate or seductive way. Her beauty was like that of a snow lotus on a high mountain—sacred and distant. Her eyes were as clear as the autumn waters of a Cold Pool, her nose was straight, and her lips were a pale shade, like cherry blossom petals in early spring, pressed into a curve that bespoke calm and control.

It was an air that came naturally from long being in a position of power.

Who else could it be but Bai Zhenchuan, Bai Hengwan.

"I greet you, Bai Zhenchuan."

Lin Changheng clasped his fists in a salute.

"Alchemist Lin, I trust you have been well. I heard from my subordinates that you made a wasted trip here before. My sincerest apologies."

Bai Hengwan offered a faint smile.

"Bai Zhenchuan is a busy person, I understand. Even I go into seclusion from time to time."

At this moment, Lin Changheng paid special attention to her aura. Although it was concealed, her control was still unstable after her recent promotion in Cultivation. An occasional trace would leak out, which he keenly captured.

’Just as I thought!’

’This Bai Zhenchuan really has broken through to the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment!’

’And according to the rumors, she shouldn’t even be forty yet. Isn’t that kind of Talent a bit too terrifying?’

Of course, Spirit Root Talent was one thing, but having a powerful master was another. Qing Lan Wanderer was at the Late Stage Core Formation and presided over an entire city. Any resources he casually provided would be enough for her to soar.

Lin Changheng had also heard that she was Qing Lan Wanderer’s disciple with the most outstanding Spirit Root Talent. It was a good thing, too; otherwise, the true depth of this Immortal City’s foundations would be truly frightening.

Bai Hengwan nodded slightly, not dwelling on the topic. Instead, she changed the subject, "I’ve heard that you have made some progress in substituting ingredients for the Ancient Medicine Pill Formula? I wonder if that is true?"

"That’s correct."

Lin Changheng nodded, took a Jade Scroll from his Storage Bag, and flicked his hand, sending it flying toward Bai Hengwan. "It is all in here."

"Excellent. I truly did not choose the wrong person. Alchemist Lin, your Alchemy Dao is indeed profound and unique!"

Bai Hengwan scanned the Jade Scroll and found that it not only gave clear answers on which Medicinal Materials to use as substitutes but also included a brief pharmacological analysis and the deduction process. It was clearly logical, not just a result of random guesswork or a half-hearted effort.

Although she was not an expert in the Alchemy Dao, it did not stop her from trusting the answer she was given. She immediately clapped her hands and praised him without reservation.

"Bai Zhenchuan, you praise me too much. To save time, you can ask the Immortal City’s resident Pill Master to come and verify it. If there are any difficulties or points of confusion, we can resolve them all at once to avoid any delays. That way, I can properly complete the task, can I not?"

"Otherwise, having this hanging over my head is always unsettling."

Lin Changheng waved his hand, neither taking credit nor becoming arrogant from the praise. He simply smiled and made a suggestion that was both reasonable and in Bai Zhenchuan’s best interest.

Bai Hengwan had been about to suggest the very same thing to finalize the matter. Now that Lin Changheng had brought it up for her, she naturally nodded along. "That is precisely my intention. Alchemist Lin, please have a seat for a moment."

In her heart, her estimation of Lin Changheng’s professional attitude rose even higher.

SWISH!

She then raised a fair hand, and a Communication Jade Talisman glowing with intense Spiritual Light shot through the air at high speed.

It was clearly no ordinary short-range Communication Jade Talisman, but something much more powerful, as was evident from its Spiritual Light.

"It’s no trouble. Please, Zhenchuan, attend to your business."

Lin Changheng sat down in a nearby chair, and a Maid immediately came forward to serve him a cup of Spirit Tea.

"Alchemist Lin, please try this aquatic Spirit Tea, a specialty of the Inner Lake."

Bai Hengwan raised her cup in a gesture of invitation.

"Oh? Everyone knows the Inner Lake contains a winding Tier Three Upper Grade Spiritual Vein and is an exceptional Spiritual Dao Field that many yearn for. The Spirit Tea produced here must certainly be extraordinary. It seems I am in for a treat this time."

He then picked up the teacup with interest and looked inside. At the same time, a pleasant, fresh fragrance with a faint aquatic note wafted into his nostrils.

He saw two serrated, bluish tea leaves floating in the cup. A flash of the Spirit Detecting Skill passed through his eyes, and he knew from the sheer density of its spiritual essence that this was, at the very least, a Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Tea!
