Chapter 2325: Chapter 2324: Twisted Devotion
At the moment, Lin Dong was refining the ’Corpse Ghost Rebirth Pill’, and had reached the most critical step of solidifying the pill.
With Lin Dong’s current level of alchemy, he would rarely make mistakes even when refining fourth-grade pills.
However, solidifying the pill was a crucial step, and Lin Dong did not dare to be careless.
One small mistake could result in an explosion.
"Boom~~"
Just as he was thinking about not having an explosion, an explosion happened.
The pill that was about to take shape suddenly exploded.
Fortunately, the colorful furnace at this step could recycle the herbs, so these herbs weren’t entirely wasted.
Instead, they continued to be utilized.
Lin Dong then began the second attempt at solidifying the pill.
"Boom~~" The second time, it exploded again.
Refining fourth-grade pills indeed had its challenges. Even for Qin Feng, refining fourth-grade pills required hundreds of failures before success.
For Lin Dong to have two explosions was nothing significant.
After more than a dozen explosions, Lin Dong finally succeeded in solidifying the pill.
"Phew~~~" After solidifying the pill, the pills in the alchemy furnace slowly began to form.
The ’Corpse Ghost Rebirth Pill’ was entirely black, emitting dark qi, which immediately indicated it was a ’Yin Dan’. A Yin Dan is a pill with a yin attribute.
This type of pill is generally for martial artists or demon beasts with yin attributes.
The Corpse Ghost Rebirth Pill was indeed intended for that purpose.
It was primarily meant for ’corpses’ to consume, allowing the corpses of Earth Realm martial artists to become puppets.
"Boom~~~"
After rapidly spinning for a period, the pills finally set, with a total of fifteen pills lying quietly in the alchemy furnace.
On each pill were four alchemy marks.
These four marks indicated they were all fourth-grade pills!
The surface of the pills was enveloped in a layer of dark qi. This dark qi was filled with negative energy, and if common people inadvertently touched it, it could bring them disasters.
That is the evil qi infusion!
For common people, even being in possession of it for a day would be a catastrophe, let alone consuming it.
Common people couldn’t bear this evil qi infusion.
At best, they would fall ill, at worst, they could die!
Lin Dong took out these fifteen pills and placed them into a pill bottle.
He then labeled the bottle: "Fourth-grade Corpse Ghost Rebirth Pills, fifteen pills."
After doing all this, Lin Dong placed the bottle into the Dragon Ring space.
He originally intended to continue refining pills.
However, at this moment, Toyotomi Quyin returned.
Lin Dong then left the room to inquire about the progress of her herb gathering.
Upon seeing Toyotomi Quyin, Lin Dong asked, "So, did you find the root of the Thousand-Year Rejuvenation Wood?"
Toyotomi Quyin replied, "Master, we found its whereabouts. Tomorrow, the Jianyu Family will hold an auction on a luxury cruise ship in the Wealthy Sea."
"Among the items is the Thousand-Year Rejuvenation Wood for auction, it’s the entire tree, not just the roots."
"In the Jianyu Family’s shrine area, there’s a place where Rejuvenation Woods grow. Recently, a Thousand-Year Rejuvenation Wood was struck by lightning, so they uprooted it to auction."
"Master, would you like to join me at tomorrow’s luxury cruise auction? I fear I won’t succeed in bidding on the Thousand-Year Rejuvenation Wood alone."
"I’ve heard many are after it. Especially several alchemists who are eager to bid for the Thousand-Year Rejuvenation Wood."
Hearing this, Lin Dong was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright, I’ll go with you tomorrow."
Upon hearing Lin Dong agree, Toyotomi Quyin was overjoyed.
"Master, I’ll come pick you up tomorrow."
Lin Dong nodded, then suddenly took out a ’jade talisman’ from his embrace and handed it to her.
"This time you’ve helped me a lot, I’m giving you a life-saving jade talisman. If there’s danger, just recite the spell." Lin Dong said.
He gave Toyotomi Quyin the weakest talisman from ten of his spiritual power jade talismans.
Lin Dong was such a person. Whether subordinates or friends, as long as they didn’t betray him and sincerely did things for him, he would never mistreat them.
This life-saving jade talisman, even in the eyes of Earth Realm martial artists, was incredibly precious, a priceless treasure. Yet he gave without hesitation.
There was not the slightest vagueness.
Toyotomi Quyin did not know the talisman’s full power, but since it was from Lin Dong, she was extremely excited.
She gratefully accepted the talisman, quickly saying, "Thank you, master."
Lin Dong then taught her the spell.
And reminded her, "If you encounter a martial artist you can’t handle, just recite the spell and you’ll be safe."
Toyotomi Quyin nodded heavily: "Okay, thank you, master."
"Master, you must be tired these days? Would you like me to give you a massage? I have professionally learned some massage techniques to ensure your comfort."
Toyotomi Quyin said this while deliberately bending her waist, revealing a glimpse of her curves.
Lin Dong frowned slightly and said, "Just do your job properly, don’t engage in nonsense."
Swish!
Upon hearing Lin Dong’s stern words, Toyotomi Quyin nervously said, "Yes, yes, master. I won’t dare to anymore, this slave truly wants to serve you well."
"Master, whatever you need, this slave is willing to give everything."
Lin Dong waved a hand: "No need, you can leave now. I have to continue refining and cultivating."
Toyotomi Quyin quickly took her leave.
After exiting the villa, she patted her heaving chest, sticking out her tongue and muttered: "Master is so diligent. And not interested in women at all."
"His willpower is too strong. It’s no wonder that at such a young age, he became a mythical figure."
"It seems in this lifetime, I have no chance of becoming his woman. Even for one night, there’s no chance."
She sighed, but thinking about it, being his servant already seemed satisfactory enough.
One cannot be too greedy.
A mythical figure, and at such a young, handsome figure at that. Becoming his woman would be extremely difficult.
"Master doesn’t seem to like me trying to seduce him, next time, I shouldn’t wear those sexy outfits. I’ll just be how I used to be before."
"Being myself, that way I won’t incur master’s displeasure." Toyotomi Quyin was a wise person.
After this warning from Lin Dong, she understood his character. She realized that deliberately dressing in revealing sexy clothes to tempt him would have the opposite effect, only making him unhappy.
It’s better to be her true self, that is what would make the master fond of her.
The master accepted her as a servant initially because of her original temperament, right?
To change her temperament now, to become seductive, thinking it would please the master, is somewhat going against the fundamentals.
After understanding this, Toyotomi Quyin smiled again and took out the jade talisman Lin Dong gave her.
She brought it up to her nose, taking a deep breath, intoxicated by Lin Dong’s lingering qi on it.
Meanwhile, her face flushed red, murmuring, "Master, master..."
In this scene, one could only wonder what her pursuers would think if they were to see her now.
