The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 22
Liu Yu Tong once believed that/that he must be nineteen or even twenty years old before he could break through to the Gushing Spring Tier.
It's fast enough. In the entire history of the Rain Country, there were very, very few who could compare to it. But now, he had an extremely high chance of breaking through this gap at eighteen years old!
Even though it was only a two-year difference, how old was it? It would be surprising enough for a cultivator his age to hasten his breakthrough by several months, but he had accelerated his breakthrough by two whole years!
This was all because of Ling Han.
However, when you compare this kind of development level with Ling Han himself, then it is really not worth mentioning.
From the second layer to the fourth layer of Body Refining Level, he spent one night. From the fourth layer to the fifth layer of the Body Refining Level, one night. From the fifth layer to the sixth layer of the Body Refining Level, two nights.
When others were talking about cultivation, they would talk about months or even years spent cultivating. But to Ling Han, his cultivation level was calculated in a few days - he was very strange.
Ling Han simply laughed and said, "This cultivation speed cannot be considered fast. There were some demonic beasts that were already Element Gathering Levels at birth, some were even Flowing Spring Rankings. These beings are existences that have been blessed by heaven."
"Is there really such a demonic beast?" Liu Yu Tong's beautiful eyes widened. There was actually a demonic beast that was even stronger at birth than he was now?
"Of course!" Ling Han nodded. He paused, then continued, "I've seen historical records depicting that/that some demonic beasts, which were already extinct, were even at Heaven Level at birth. They were born invincible."
Liu Yu Tong did not believe it. He asked, "Since they were already at Heaven Level at birth, then why did they become extinct?"
"The world has its own rules. Who can fight time?" Ling Han shook his head. In his last life, it was because he did not want to just die and rot so he firmly stepped onto a dangerous path, looking for a way to break through to the Shattering Void Tier. "There are too many mysteries in this land that can easily wipe out even the ones in Heaven Tier."
In his previous life, when he had become a powerful Heaven Tier existence, there were many places he did not dare to explore, afraid that he could fall from the sky at every turn there.
***
After two days of hard cultivation, Ling Han exerted more effort to complete the accumulation at the fifth layer of Body Refining Level. He then easily reached the sixth layer of the Body Refining Tier.
Since he had already walked on this familiar path in his last life, his cultivation comprehension was a matter he did not need to think about.
"However, from the sixth layer to the seventh layer of the Body Refining Level, this was a small and small leap. Three days won't be enough, I need four days, or maybe even five days," Ling Han sighed. He only had to continue to work hard at cultivation for another four or five days.
Beside him, Liu Yu Tong, who had been listening to Ling Han's annoyed grievances, suddenly experienced an urge to go crazy.
'This freak!'
One day later, Ling Han had reached the initial period of the sixth layer of Body Refining Level. On the second day, he had already reached the middle period. On the third day, he was in the final period. On the fourth day, he had reached the peak of the sixth layer of the Body Refining Level.
He didn't drag her to the fifth day. Ling Han started breaking through and, less than an hour later, he had stepped into the seventh layer of Body Refining Level.
A sixteen year old child with the cultivation of the seventh layer of the Body Refining Level .. In the Rain Country, such a cultivator would be considered "acceptable". Moreover, if anyone was told that/it Ling Han had been at the second layer of the Body Refining Level and spent eight days to break through to the seventh layer of the Body Refining Level, it would have been for him to be at the second layer of the Body Refining Level, they certainly wouldn't believe it.
Thus, even Liu Yu Tong, who had been observing the entire process, was dazed, his expression distant. When he walked, his movements made him look like he was floating in the air.
He was really surprised.
"I can finally get out," Ling Han stretched his body. Now he has a young body, his mentality is also young. After being locked up in his room for seven days, he felt as if he was a ferocious tiger that had been imprisoned.
That was a coincidence. Although Ling Dong Xing was so busy that he could not be found anywhere these few days, today he just happened to be sitting in his study. However, his mood seemed very bad, his brows furrowed in deep wrinkles.
"Dad, I guess the Cheng Clan has made a move?" Ling Han asked directly.
Ling Dong Xing did not raise his head to look at her. He just nodded, continuing to write something on a piece of paper.
"Is the situation so bad?" Ling Han asked.
Ling Dong Xing sighed before finally putting down his pen and saying, "It's so bad! Although our Ling Clan has many properties, there are only two that are most beneficial to the clan. One is a mine, the other is a drug store."
Ling Han knew that/it Ling Clan had a copper mine. The ownership of this mine fell into the hands of the Ling Clan only thirty years ago - the Ling Clan had paid a very expensive price to obtain this mine because many powerful clan warriors had died in process.
As for the medicinal shop, it would purchase low-grade medicinal pills from the Heaven Medicine Pavilion and resell them to customers at a price slightly higher than the original price. Although this was only a simple buy-and-sale return trade, as there was a huge market for medicinal pills, this was a major source of income for the clan. The actual profit from selling each pill may be small, but the number of transactions is more than that made for it
The disadvantage of the medicinal shop was that/it was entirely dependent on the Heaven Medicine Pavilion. However, since the Heaven Medicine Pavilion wanted to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship with the locally influential parties, the two Great Clans of the city could each obtain some pills to sell.
"Five days ago, our mine was attacked by an unknown party, which caused several casualties. Now everyone is in a state of anxiety. Even though we raised wages, not many would enter the mine."
Ling Dong Xing continued to say, "Next, Alchemist Ma from the Heaven Medicine Pavilion suddenly started to make things difficult for us. He said that the batch of medicinal pills sent from the Headquarters this time had been delayed on the road for some reason, and the delivery would be late. Now, our stock of pills in the warehouse is almost sold out. If the situation continues and we are still unable to replenish, then the drugstore can only be temporarily closed. "
Once the drug store was closed, the reputation of the store would definitely be affected. Even if it once again opens its doors to do business in the future, some customers will definitely get lost.
"Two days, our finances are already a bit tight. We should think of something as quickly as possible," Ling Dong Xing sighed.
Although the Ling Clan was a large existence with various properties, their expenditure was also huge. There is a saying, the poor practice cultural arts whereas the rich practice martial arts. Cultivation was a very expensive endeavor. And now, the Ling Clan's two main businesses were struck at the same time, so the clan's funds soon became tight. If things continue like this, there will be big problems. In fact, they may even be forced to sell some of their less important businesses.
"This was done by the Cheng Clan!" Ling Han immediately said, very sure.
Ling Dong Xing nodded. Their two biggest businesses were having a hard time at the same time, there would never be such a big coincidence in this world. He tapped his finger once on the table, and said, "There's also a traitor."
Ling Han's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Ling Zhong Kuan?"
"That's right!" He had no plans to hide anything from his own son. He sneered, "Once something happens to the mine, I immediately increase the number of patrol parties, yet they don't even see the enemy. Unless someone had leaked the patrol route earlier, how could this be possible?"
It is likely that/it was so Ling Zhong Kuan heard that/it Cheng Xiang and his brother had thrashed, he said, he secretly met with Cheng Wen Kun and reached a good agreement with the latter - most likely it was to have the Cheng Clan help him in seizing the position of Clan Head. Although only he himself knew what kind of humiliating terms he agreed to in return for their help.
"I've already made an appointment for lunch with Alchemist Ma of the Heaven Medicine Pavilion. I should definitely give him some benefits. Otherwise, the clan would really be in big trouble," Ling Dong Xing continued to say.
Alchemist But .... But from Jun?
Ling Han could not help but have a strange expression on his face, as he said, "I'll accompany you, Father."
"Your task now is to concentrate on cultivation, unless you reach the seventh layer of Body-pu!" Ling Dong Xing finally raised his head to look directly at Ling Han. This one appearance caused him to choke, his expression sagging.
Had Liu Yu Tong seen his reaction, he would have felt extremely comforted. He couldn't be the only person who was shocked by Ling Han's cultivation speed, right?
