Chapter 169: Exorcism

"Why am I not surprised?"

When Chu Chen got the news, he felt that it was supposed to be so.

If Lin Fan could easily get the foundation-building pill, he would be surprised.

"According to the routine of the novels in the previous life, the protagonist, or the son of luck, must have a bumpy road to growth, and no matter what he does, there will be people who are enemies with him."

Even if Han Yuanhao did not show up, there would be other foundation-building masters targeting Lin Fan.

Chu Chen inquired about the details of this matter and found that it was related to the elder of the Lin family.

The elder of the Lin family had an old relationship with Han Yuanhao, and went to Yunshui Sect in person, presented a heavy gift, and asked Han Yuanhao to suppress Lin Fan.

Han Yuanhao's suppression was not aimless, but had a reason.

Lin Fan did violate the rules of Yunshui Sect. On the first day of entering Yunshui Sect, Lin Fan had a conflict with the true disciple Cui Ren. It was said that it was because of a female inner disciple. The two sides fought in front of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Han Yuanhao used this as an excuse to withhold Lin Fan's foundation-building pill, and Cui Ren was punished to face the wall in the Hanyuan Secret Realm for three months.

On the surface, the punishments for both were fifty lashes each. With the cultivation level of a Qigong cultivator, it was not easy to enter the Hanyuan Secret Realm, not to mention staying there for three months.

However, in terms of the value of the foundation-building pill, Lin Fan obviously suffered a great loss.

Needless to say, the value of a foundation-building pill is not comparable to facing the wall in the Hanyuan Secret Realm for three months.

Lin Fan was dissatisfied and confronted Han Yuanhao in person, which made Han Yuanhao furious. He wanted to suppress Lin Fan and show his majesty.

Han Yuanhao, as a foundation-building real person, attacked the Qigong cultivator, but failed. He failed to suppress Lin Fan in one move and was later stopped by Lingyin Zhenren and Linggan Zhenren.

"Master Lingyin, Master Linggan?"

Chu Chen's expression changed. He could understand Master Lingyin's efforts to save Lin Fan, but when did Master Linggan have anything to do with Lin Fan?

After a second thought, he suddenly realized that the son of destiny had a bumpy road to growth, but he also had the support of noble people, and he could turn every crisis into a safe one.

Master Lingyin alone might not be able to compete with Han Yuanhao.

Master Lingyin's life span was almost gone, and his strength was at the bottom among all the foundation-building masters, while Han Yuanhao was in charge of the Dharma Transmission Hall, with a high position and power, and he was also a master in the middle stage of foundation-building, far superior to Master Lingyin.

Taoist Lingyin and Taoist Linggan could barely compete with Han Yuanhao.

"Because of the mediation of Master Lingyin and Master Linggan, Lin Fan's punishment was changed to entering the Hanyuan Secret Realm to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes for ten years."

This punishment was not light. The Hanyuan Secret Realm was shrouded in the cold wind of the netherworld all year round, and there was no spiritual energy. Even the foundation-building masters would complain when they entered it.

Qigong cultivators cannot practice at all in the Hanyuan Secret Realm.

Lin Fan was trapped in the Hanyuan Secret Realm for ten years, which was equivalent to wasting ten years of practice time.

Violating the rules of the Yunshui Sect and contradicting the Foundation Establishment True Person, the two crimes were punished together. This punishment is reasonable, at least better than depriving the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Besides, entering the Hanyuan Secret Realm may not be a bad thing for Lin Fan."

The son of luck cannot be judged by common sense. The punishment in the eyes of others may be an opportunity for the son of luck.

"If there is no accident, Lin Fan will have to wait until ten years later to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage, but the luck of the son of luck is uncertain, so it is better to prepare early."

Chu Chen originally wanted to practice in seclusion, but the appearance of Lin Fan forced him to speed up the pace of accumulating merits.

After accumulating 30,000 merits, he can exchange the three exercises such as the Soul Seizing Scripture. At that time, even if the Yunshui Sect and the Yinshi Sect go to war, he can leave.

"I wanted to exchange merits with Heqi Dan, but now it seems that I can only find another way."

Heqi Dan is a low-level second-grade elixir that can enhance the cultivation of cultivators in the early stage of foundation building.

Based on the calculation of ten pills per bottle, one bottle of Heqi Dan can be exchanged for 100 merits. If 300 bottles of Heqi Dan can be refined, 30,000 merits will be enough.

But the problem is that the spiritual medicine needed to refine Heqi Dan will take 20 to 30 years to mature.

When the spiritual medicine matures, Chu Chen will refine Heqi Dan again, and Yunshui Sect may have gone to war with Yinshi Sect.

"Refine the first-grade high-level elixir such as Huanglong Dan and exchange it for merits. It is not a way."

Chu Chen thought about it for a while and thought of a way.

It is not to sell Huanglong Dan and other elixirs directly to Yunshui Sect, which is too uneconomical.

Even if elixirs such as Huanglong Dan are handed over to the Foreign Affairs Hall, each bottle will only have 10 merits, which is far lower than its market value.

This is because Yunshui Sect does not lack first-grade elixirs, but only second-grade elixirs. Therefore, the merits that can be exchanged for first-grade elixirs such as Huanglong Pills have always been low.

"The most convenient and quickest way for Yunshui Sect to gain merits is to eliminate demons and foreign affairs, kill demon monks and monsters in Yunshui Sect, and gain merits.

Generally, for demon elimination above the ninth level of Qi training, two or three hundred merits can be obtained. The disadvantage is that you have to fight with demon monks and monsters with brutal means."

After ordinary monks become disciples of Yunshui Sect, when their strength is low, they do simple merit tasks, such as guarding the medicine field for the real person, etc., to accumulate merits and exchange for elixirs and inheritance.

When they become strong, they turn to eliminating demons and foreign affairs as the main task, quickly accumulate more merits, and exchange for more powerful elixirs and inheritance.

"It is a good idea to hire monks with Huanglong Pills and other elixirs to help me eliminate demons.

As long as the price I offer is high enough, such as one or two more bottles of Huanglong Pills, I think many monks in the market should be willing to help me eliminate demons."

This method seems reasonable, but it is not cost-effective for ordinary monks.

Alchemists have a success rate problem when refining pills. If they can make three or four out of ten furnaces of pills, they are already experienced and proficient in refining this kind of pill.

The spiritual medicine lost due to failed alchemy should also be counted in the cost of alchemy.

After all, not everyone is like Chu Chen, who has the magical power of marrying dreams, can build a dream world, refine pills without consumption, and does not need to care about the loss of spiritual medicine, and quickly accumulate experience in alchemy.

So far, Chu Chen has been able to achieve a 90% success rate in refining several first-grade high-level pills such as Huanglong Pills, which is more than twice as high as that of ordinary alchemists.

Only in this way can he have the confidence to do so.

"As long as you complete about one hundred demon-killing tasks, you can accumulate 30,000 merits."

The idea is determined, and Chu Chen will go to the shop selling spiritual medicine in the market to buy and refine spiritual medicine.

After refining a batch of Huanglong Pills, Chu Chen immediately went to Yunshui Peak and took over several demon-killing tasks from Han Yuanhao.

It's not that Chu Chen didn't want to take on more demon-killing missions, but Han Yuanhao didn't allow it.

"Junior brother, I know you want to accumulate merits, but the main purpose of the sect setting up demon-killing missions is to hone the disciples."

Han Yuanhao stopped Chu Chen helplessly, with a hint of contempt in his words.

It's rare to see a shameless foundation-building real person like Chu Chen.

A real person actually competed with a group of juniors in the Qi training period for demon-killing missions.

"If junior brother wants to accumulate merits, you can consider these demon-killing missions."

While speaking, Han Yuanhao pointed to another jade slip that recorded demon-killing missions.

Chu Chen's mind probed into one of them and took a look, and then withdrew instantly.

The jade slips were all demon-killing missions for demon cultivators and monsters above the foundation-building period.
