Three years ago, he was the young master of the most prominent family in the capital, but due to his grandfather's superstition, he was sent to a Taoist temple where he suffered hardship yet ma...
"It smells so good!"
"Lin Jinglong, give me one!"
"This old ancestor wants to try it too!"
Ge Ling'er suddenly jumped out.
She stood before the golden cauldron, which was almost as tall as her, and watched longingly as the ball of ointment in Lin Jinglong's hand was divided into four pills of different sizes under his control.
Lin Jinglong ignored Ge Ling'er.
Give the largest one to Xiao Long.
"Commander Xiao, this pill can replenish your depleted life force and extend your life by fifty years!"
"This is too precious, I want the smaller one!"
"Grandpa Xiao, please accept it!"
Wu Yuehan walked over and gave him the pill.
The old man hesitated for a moment, but could only silently accept the pill and, under Lin Jinglong's watchful gaze, consume the Grade 8 precious pill.
In an instant, an extremely violent power circulated through his body hundreds of times, and Xiao Long jumped up from the bed, completely different from his previous sickly appearance.
The old man had a ruddy complexion, and his bones cracked with a thunderous sound, indicating that he had fully recovered his vitality.
"I wish I could return to the Northwest battlefield and fight those barbarian tribes for another three hundred rounds, and cut off a thousand or eight hundred of their heads!"
Xiao Long had a booming voice and looked very robust.
Seeing the amazing effects of the medicine, Lin Jinglong smiled with satisfaction.
Ye Zhenlian, who was not far away, fell silent.
"He actually succeeded in making it!"
"And the medicine's potency was not wasted at all!"
"He actually refined that small bottle of Qilin blood into four Grade 8 treasure pills. Even though the other three are smaller in size, they can still extend one's life by ten years. If they were sold in the outside world, they would definitely fetch an astronomical sum."
Wu Dongren was somewhat envious.
"Senior Brother, why don't we buy one from him and bring it back to the sect as a gift for Master? She will be very happy."
Before Ye Zhenshan could respond.
Lin Jinglong distributed one pill to each of Wu Yuehan and Ye Qingzhu, and hesitated for a moment when he had the smallest one left.
It was given to Ge Ling'er, who was craving it.
"You can eat the rest. Although using the blood of the unicorn to prolong life can lead to drug resistance, this small piece is nothing. You can continue to take it in the future."
The two women were deeply moved as they accepted the elixir.
Wu Yuehan and Ye Qingzhu exchanged a glance.
Knowing that this was Lin Jinglong's kind gesture, they swallowed the pills directly, which then transformed into medicinal power and was infused into their bodies.
And Ge Ling'er was standing to the side.
He took the smallest pill and swallowed it with a disgruntled expression.
He quickly revealed a look of surprise and pride.
"Not bad, not bad. The potency of this pill is almost comparable to the essence of your bloodline, Lin Jinglong."
Ge Ling'er transmitted her voice into his mind.
Lin Jinglong gave a cold laugh, his lips curling into a smirk.
"Haven't you learned your lesson yet? My blood flows in your veins now, what more do you want?"
It was precisely because the other party had Lin Jinglong's blood flowing in her veins that Ge Ling'er fell into his control.
Upon hearing this, Ge Ling'er's expression froze, and she dared not speak.
Ye Zhenshan suddenly stepped forward from the opposite side.
He composed himself, losing his shock and the inexplicable hostility he had felt earlier, and respectfully bowed to Lin Jinglong.
“Mr. Lin, I admit you have some skill, as you can refine both Rank 8 talismans and Rank 8 precious pills. However, this World Martial Arts Tournament has a very special structure, as it concerns the ownership of Qingxu Cave Heaven.”
"I can only accept strong individuals as my team leaders."
"So, I want to challenge you!"
Ye Zhenshan gritted his teeth and said to Lin Jinglong.
Ye Qingzhu glanced at her husband with concern.
She whispered to Ye Zhenshan, "Senior Brother, for my sake, please don't make things difficult for Jinglong. He can refine precious pills and eighth-grade talismans, and his medical skills are outstanding. Doesn't he deserve to be your team leader?"
"Junior Sister, you don't know this."
Ye Zhenshan gave a wry smile.
"According to the notice just issued by the Elders Council, this martial arts tournament will be held in Qingxu Cave Heaven, with at least a thousand Martial Emperors participating. In name, it is all an individual action, but in reality, they can form alliances at will and kill each other."
"The ultimate goal is to seize the key to Qingxu Cave Heaven."
"The entire process can take up to seven days, so even if the hub is found at the beginning, it may not be able to be preserved for seven days!"
"This is destined to be a bloody battle. According to estimates, of the thousands of Martial Emperors, less than half may survive!"
Ye Zhenshan's gaze became extremely solemn.
Lin Jinglong had only just learned about the competition format and hadn't expected it to be a closed map with thousands of martial emperors fighting in a chaotic battle.
"The Elder Council must have made extensive arrangements among these thousand Martial Emperors to ensure that none of the hundreds of Hidden Alliance members who participated would be able to leave Qingxu Cave Heaven alive."
Lin Jinglong felt a chill run down his spine.
The elders' purpose is a calculated scheme: using the Pure Void Grotto-heaven as bait, all its resources, including the most valuable spiritually rich blessed land, will ultimately fall into the hands of the sole victor.
The Hidden World Alliance could not let this opportunity slip by.
They will surely make many arrangements.
Conversely, restrain the Elders!
The two sides are about to engage in a life-or-death struggle!
Lin Jinglong knew that this matter was of great importance; if he was not careful, it could cost hundreds of lives.
And these hundreds of lives.
It is also related to the future of the Great Xia Dynasty for at least the next hundred years!
He looked deeply at Ye Zhenshan, whose expression was earnest, and nodded, saying, "Very well, since you doubt my strength, then I will take action once, so that you can rest assured."
