Chapter 1285: Yearly Stone

However, when Xiao Lin was in the Holy Scale Clan, he had seen some words carved on the wall, which were very similar to the words on this heart-protecting scale. It seems that the words on it should be the words of the Holy Scale Clan.

Although the Holy Scale Clan speaks the common language of the Spirit World Continent, the words are not the popular ancient seal script. Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but ponder.

For Xiao Lin, he didn't know the specific meaning of the words on the heart-protecting scale. It might be the deeds of the ancestor of the Holy Scale Clan, or it might be a kind of practice or a magical power.

The best way for Xiao Lin is to catch a member of the Holy Scale Clan and translate it for him, but Xiao Lin thought about it and decided not to do so.

In his opinion, unless he wanted to kill someone to silence him, it would inevitably lead to the leakage of the contents on it.

After thinking it over again and again, Xiao Lin decided to learn the words of the Holy Scale Clan himself, so that he would not have to kill people or worry about the contents on it being leaked.

Do it as you think. In the following period of time, Xiao Lin returned to Baidi Xiancheng again. Through the guide Shan Xin, he deliberately made friends with some people from the Holy Scale Clan. These people from the Holy Scale Clan lived the most humble life in Baidi Xiancheng, doing many hard labors that no one else did.

Xiao Lin was naturally easy to get their favor by making friends, and he also felt flattered.

After a long time, Xiao Lin expressed his great interest in the writing of the Holy Scale Clan and asked them to teach him. For the people of the Holy Scale Clan, their writing was not a secret, and for the many races in Baidi Xiancheng, they also had their own writing. Usually everyone spoke the common language of the Holy Moon Continent in the Spirit Realm, and their own writing was not used much.

So Xiao Lin soon discovered a problem, that is, a single member of the Holy Scale Clan did not know too many of the Holy Scale Clan's writing, and many complex writings, after asking for a long time, were never interpreted.

Xiao Lin was not in a hurry. For him, this time was nothing. Besides, he had to search for materials and refine the flags and array plates of the Inverted Yin-Yang Locking Heaven Array. These materials were of various types and the collection period was unusually long.

However, Xiao Lin could refine and purify some of the materials he had collected, and these tasks would also take up a lot of his time.

At the same time, Xiao Lin continued to collect various sixth-level spiritual herbs, whether they were seedlings or mature spiritual herbs, and he gradually collected some through those business houses.

After collecting some spiritual herbs, Xiao Lin immediately hid in the cave of Taoyuan Island, opened the furnace to refine the elixir, and collected all the spiritual elixirs he refined.

Now Xiao Lin has advanced to the peak of the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm, and his mana cannot be improved again. He could have started to try to break through the realm, but in Xiao Lin's feeling, his middle-stage bottleneck is still very stable, and he always feels that he is not breaking through the bottleneck.

After thinking it over again and again, Xiao Lin decided to postpone it for a while. In addition to normal meditation, he spent most of his time practicing the Little Nine-Turn Refining Divine Power, the Heaven-Repairing Sutra, and the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique.

Especially the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, Xiao Lin could feel some subtle progress every time he practiced it, but for some reason, he could never break through to the Blood Flame Realm, which really distressed Xiao Lin.

Most of the businesses in the major immortal cities in the Star Sea Region have some body-refining elixirs for sale, including some containing immortal blood. The high-level elixirs refined are of great use to both immortal cultivators and body-refiners.

So the price is not cheap, and most low-level body-refiners can't afford it at all.

But for Xiao Lin, it was no problem, and Xiao Lin also collected some immortal blood through Zhongshengzhai. For his current body refining realm, ordinary body refining elixirs were not very effective. Only elixirs made with immortal blood as the main material could make him feel the obvious improvement of blood and qi.

Time passed day by day.

A hundred years passed quickly.

A hundred years, for ordinary people, is a lifetime, but for high-level immortal cultivators like Xiao Lin, it is just a snap of a finger.

On this day, Xiao Lin sat in the cave of Taoyuan Island, holding a golden scale in his hand, with excitement on his face.

After nearly a hundred years of study, Xiao Lin finally fully understood the content on this golden scale.

It turned out that the heart-protecting scale not only contained the mental methods of the last two realms, but also recorded many experiences of the ancestor of the Holy Scale Clan when he practiced the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique.

What made Xiao Lin particularly excited was that it also recorded how to successfully advance from the Mysterious Scale Realm to the Blood Flame Realm.

That is, you need to kill a fourth-level ancient fire beast, use its blood essence to refine a blood-burning and quenching pill, take it, and then practice the formula of the Blood Flame Realm, you can advance to the Blood Flame Realm in a short time.

Once you advance to the Blood Flame Realm, when you perform the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique, you can stimulate the Burning Heaven Blood Flame in your body, scatter it on the surface of your body, or integrate it into your weapon to attack the enemy.

This Burning Heaven Blood Flame is also divided into three levels according to different realms: Burning Heaven Blood Flame, Burning Heaven Yang Fire, and Burning Heaven Gold Flame.

The power of each level of flame will be doubled.

Once the third level of Burning Heaven Golden Flame is mastered, its power can even be comparable to the Phoenix Divine Flame. Even a Mahayana cultivator may not be able to withstand it.

Back then, this ancestor of the Holy Scale Clan defeated many Mahayana cultivators in succession with his Burning Heaven Golden Flame, which allowed him to lead the Holy Scale Clan to firmly occupy a region of the Star Sea Region.

Only then did Xiao Lin understand why he had been unable to advance to the Blood Flame Realm. It turned out that it was because he lacked the Blood-Burning and Quenching Yuan Dan.

Not only that, even the Holy Scale Indestructible Body, the six arms, three heads, and the three realms of immortality, and the last level of the Immortal Realm's mental method, are described in detail on this golden scale.

Xiao Lin originally thought that this last level of immortality would come naturally after practicing the three heads, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. If it weren't for his chance to get this heart-protecting scale and comprehend the secret on it, I'm afraid that his practice of the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique would have gone astray.

Once a skill goes astray, the damage to oneself is usually irreversible. This also made him break into a cold sweat, and secretly thought that he must be extremely cautious in practicing supernatural powers in the future.

In the following time, Xiao Lin hid in the cave every day to comprehend the contents of this heart-protecting scale.

Especially the experience left by the ancestor of the Holy Scale Clan, Xiao Lin pondered and comprehended word by word, and never allowed any deviation.

After half a year of research, Xiao Lin believed that he had completely understood the practice method of the complete version of the Holy Scale Burning Heaven Skill.

Now as long as he can refine the Burning Blood and Tempering Yuan Dan, he can try to impact the Blood Flame Realm.

The fourth-level fierce beast is equivalent to the combat power of the human race's fusion stage cultivator. Fortunately, there is no requirement for the grade of the fourth-level fierce beast to refine the Burning Blood and Tempering Yuan Dan. If it is a fourth-level extreme fierce beast, it is equivalent to the combat power of the peak fusion stage cultivator. Even if Xiao Lin tries his best, he is afraid that he will only end up dying.

Of course, even a fourth-order low-grade beast is extremely threatening to Xiao Lin. After thinking about it, Xiao Lin still plans to refine the flags and array plates of the inverted Yin-Yang lock sky array first.

At that time, with this heaven-defying array, there is still hope to successfully kill the fourth-order beast.

At this time, Xiao Lin counted with his fingers and found that the date he agreed with Zhongshengzhai to collect materials was almost up, so Xiao Lin left Taoyuan Island and turned into a ray of spiritual light, rushing into the sky.

Inside Baidi Immortal City.

Xiao Lin did not stay and went directly to Zhongshengzhai.

However, the Zhongshengzhai has changed people now. The young woman back then has been transferred elsewhere. The one who received Xiao Lin at this moment is a mature beauty who looks to be in her thirties, named Lu Ke.

After knowing Xiao Lin's purpose, the mature beauty immediately invited Xiao Lin into the box.

Xiao Lin was not in a hurry. After waiting for a cup of tea in the box, Lu Ke followed a fifty-year-old man into the box.

"I am Zhongli, the head of the Zhongshengzhai branch in Baidi Immortal City. The materials that you ordered a hundred years ago have basically been gathered, but..."

Xiao Lin saw at a glance that the old man was not a human, but a demon cultivator in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, the same realm as himself.

Hearing his words pause, Xiao Lin was also prepared.

"Is it impossible to gather them all?"

"No, no, you misunderstood, basically everything has been gathered, except for one material, which we have been searching for for a long time and have not found. We also have many materials containing the power of rules in Zhongshengzhai, but we are really powerless to do anything about the time rule materials that rank in the top three of the ten rules."

Xiao Lin was secretly disappointed when he heard this. The most important material of the Yin-Yang Locking Heaven Formation is called [Sui Liushi], which is a material containing the power of time rules, which means the passing of time.

However, Xiao Lin only knew that this [Year Flow Stone] was a kind of top-grade material for refining high-level immortal treasures, and was also called the top-grade material of the rule type by the immortal cultivation world. Xiao Lin had never even seen it.

But in his opinion, since Zhongshengzhai's business was all over the continent, it was just a material, no matter how precious it was, it could always be found.

But he still overestimated Zhongshengzhai. If he lost this [Year Flow Stone], his inverted Yin-Yang lock sky formation could only be replaced by materials containing the power of space rules.

In this way, the power of the formation would be greatly reduced, at least 40% to 50% of the power would be lost, which was a huge loss for Xiao Lin.

"What does this Sui Liu Stone look like? Also, does your studio have any relevant information? As long as the information is true, Xiao is willing to pay a certain price."

After hearing this, the old man sighed and said, "This Sui Liu Stone is white and emits a bright white light. If you look at it for a long time, you will feel dazed. In serious cases, you may even fall into it and have various childhood illusions. More importantly, Sui Liu Stone is usually born with spiritual treasures. This is its preciousness. But in the spiritual world, even if spiritual treasures exist, they are controlled by the top cultivators of various races, and ordinary people cannot get them at all."

After a pause, the old man continued, "And the Sui Liu Stone you need is also a top-grade material for refining high-level immortal treasures. Even those top cultivators are eager to get it. I heard that more than a hundred years ago, an underground auction for top cultivators was held in Baidi Immortal City. A thumb-sized Sui Liu Stone appeared, but it was sold at a sky-high price of one thousand first-grade immortal spirit stones."

Xiao Lin was also surprised when he heard this. One thousand first-grade immortal spirit stones, if converted into top-grade spirit stones, are also 10,000. If converted into low-grade spirit stones, it is 10 billion.

Ten billion low-grade spirit stones, just in exchange for a thumb-sized Sui Liu Stone, this price is indeed shocking enough.

"There is no way. This Sui Liushi is a top-grade material. Many fairy treasures above the sixth level need to add a little Sui Liushi, which makes Sui Liushi one of the scarce materials in the world of immortal cultivation. In fact, the top ten regular materials are all very popular. Even those ancestors in the Tribulation Period or even the Mahayana Period will try their best to get them."

When Xiao Lin heard this, he suddenly felt something in his heart, as if he remembered something.

After a while, he said, "In this case, let's put Sui Liushi aside for the time being. I just hope that Master Zhong can give me a copy of the detailed information of Sui Liushi. Is that okay?"

"Of course, there is no problem with this. I will send a detailed introduction to Sui Liushi later." After saying this, the old man winked at Lu Ke, and Lu Ke immediately understood and turned to leave the box.

"Are the rest of the materials complete?"

"The rest of the materials have been gathered together, and they are all in this star ring. Please take a look, fellow Taoist." The old man put a star ring emitting silver light on the table.

Xiao Lin picked up the star ring, immersed himself in his spiritual consciousness, and carefully checked it for a moment before putting the star ring back on the table with a satisfied expression.

"Including the deposit paid in advance by Daoist Xiao, these materials still need to pay 4.23 billion low-grade spirit stones. Since Daoist Xiao's consumption limit here is too high, he is already our VIP customer, so I will charge Daoist 4.2 billion low-grade spirit stones."

Xiao Lin nodded after hearing this, counted the equivalent of medium-grade spirit stones in a star ring, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed it to the old man.

Then Xiao Lin put away the star ring on the table. At this time, Lu Ke also came in with a thin book.

The old man took the thin book from Lu Ke and put it in front of Xiao Lin.

"This is a catalog of some top-level materials circulating in our Zhongshengzhai. It not only has the names of these top-level materials, but also detailed descriptions and common uses. It is given to Daoist for free, hoping to be helpful to Daoist."

"Thank you." Xiao Lin thanked him and put the thin book into the star ring.

After doing all this, Xiao Lin said goodbye and left. After Xiao Lin left, Lu Ke looked at the old man, showing an expression of wanting to say something but hesitating.

"You want to ask, isn't there a piece of Sui Liushi in the Zhongshengzhai branch of our Yaoyue Xiancheng? Why don't you sell it to this person?"

"Yes, according to the rules of our Zhongshengzhai, since this person has offered a reward for collecting materials, we Zhongshengzhai must complete it for him within our capabilities. Now that we clearly have the materials, why are we unwilling to sell it to him?"

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but sigh softly: "There is nothing we can do about it. The Blood Jade Saint Concubine of the Demon Clan is about to marry the Saint Ancestor Fei Lian. Once the Demon Clan and the Demon Dao unite, they will inevitably launch a war against the Lich Clan. The Lich Clan has always been a thorn in the eyes of the Demon Clan. Now that they have this opportunity, they will naturally not miss it. This Sui Liushi is the dowry of the Blood Jade Saint Concubine, and it is also the key to the Saint Ancestor Fei Lian's refining of a magic treasure. Not to mention us, even the head of Yaoyue Xiancheng, Jiang, dare not send the Sui Liushi without authorization. The reason why I said I haven't found it is really helpless."
