Chapter 642: Chapter 444: Three Immortal Techniques Perfected, Guest Minister Token Obtained

Well, that’s to be expected—He Jie is an Elder from the Immortal Martial Hall, so any Immortal Technique he’s stashed away must be extraordinary.

"Let’s try out the footwork!"

After testing out the Body Strengthening Technique and the Sword Technique, Lin Chang’sheng decided to give the Light Body Step a whirl.

Whoosh—

As Lin Chang’sheng performed the Carefree Heaven and Earth Step, his figure disappeared from where he stood in an instant. By the time he reappeared, he was already a hundred miles away.

Lin Chang’sheng almost couldn’t tell east from west after that.

"Covering a hundred miles in a single leap?"

Lin Chang’sheng was utterly shocked—this was insane! No wonder, even using Space Secret Techniques to escape, he could never outrun He Jie.

Sketching out an array takes him at least ten seconds.

In those ten seconds, He Jie could chase him thousands of miles.

No matter how Lin Chang’sheng tried to teleport out, he’d always get caught in the end.

With this new Light Body Technique, Lin Chang’sheng’s speed skyrocketed.

Where he used to leave a faint afterimage breaking through the air, now he didn’t even leave that behind.

Every place he passed, it was like a hurricane had swept through.

After a bunch of tries, Lin Chang’sheng grew even more familiar with the Carefree Heaven and Earth Step.

As long as the enemy wasn’t overwhelmingly stronger, even if he couldn’t win, Lin Chang’sheng could always run away, no problem.

This Immortal Technique, after all, had been fused with He Jie’s Nine Heavens Leisurely Step—its speed was nuts.

After grasping the power of these three Immortal Techniques, Lin Chang’sheng had a better sense of his own strength now.

Even if he was only at the Late Stage of Integration, even Mahayana powerhouses would barely pose a threat.

Soon after, Lin Chang’sheng headed back to the Divine Pill Pavilion.

Right now the place was in total chaos because Liu Siyue was ranting everywhere about Lin Chang’sheng being a beast.

Strutting around naked in his room at night, harassing her?

Said he knocked her out and did unspeakable things to her?

Plenty of folks in the Divine Pill Pavilion started looking at Lin Chang’sheng with suspicion.

Was he hanging around just to drool over Liu Siyue’s looks?

He didn’t look the type though...

If he was really after her, why would that goofy turtle be drawn on her face?

"You bastard—so you’re finally back! Explain yourself! How did I wake up in your bed? Did you do something shameless to me?"

As soon as Lin Chang’sheng got back to the Divine Pill Pavilion, Liu Siyue was standing by his door, arms crossed, glaring at him.

If people didn’t mess with him, Lin Chang’sheng was too lazy to bother them.

But if someone picked a fight, he wasn’t just going to roll over and take the blame.

"Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! You passed out by my door, I took the trouble to carry you back to your room, and now you’re accusing me? Actually, I want to know—why did you faint by my door in the middle of the night, and how do you know I wasn’t wearing clothes in my room? Were you peeking or something?"

Lin Chang’sheng fired off a barrage of words, leaving Liu Siyue speechless.

"Take a look, people—my window paper is all poked through. Obviously you did that last night. Looks like my guess was spot on!"

Lin Chang’sheng pointed at the hole in his window, making Liu Siyue blush bright red.

"N-no, you’re talking nonsense! Why would I spy on you? I just thought I heard something in your room and wanted to see what was going on!"

Liu Siyue tried to explain.

"If you wanted to look, couldn’t you just knock? You had to stab a hole in the window? You’re acting awfully suspicious! Maybe you were trying to smoke me out as revenge and accidentally knocked yourself out!"

Lin Chang’sheng shot back.

Some of the nearby Alchemy Disciples listened and started thinking—yeah, that actually makes sense. Otherwise, how could Liu Siyue, a cultivator, faint right outside Lin Chang’sheng’s door?

"Bullshit! Maybe it was some knockout gas from your room that got me!"

Liu Siyue snapped back.

As they bickered back and forth, Wu Gang walked over.

"Alright, alright! What’s all this commotion?"

From a distance, Wu Gang heard the noise and hurried over, calling out.

These brats had zero respect for Elder Lin?

If Lin Chang’sheng got pissed, even he couldn’t protect Liu Siyue.

"Master, Lin Chang’sheng bullied me! He even drew a turtle on my face—"

Liu Siyue immediately ran to Wu Gang and grabbed his arm, complaining.

Wu Gang, however, wasn’t about to cover for her.

"How could Elder Lin ever bully you? Wasn’t it you who started it? Tell the truth!"

Wu Gang knew his disciple too well—she was all about settling scores. Lin Chang’sheng had riled her up, so she was still brooding over it now.

She’d gone for a little revenge humiliating Lin Chang’sheng, but it totally backfired.

"Master, I didn’t—"

Liu Siyue protested, feeling wronged.

Master wasn’t even on her side anymore.

"Quit making excuses! Apologize to Elder Lin!"

Wu Gang barked. Liu Siyue jumped at the sudden command.

Liu Siyue felt so wronged, but with all the respect she had for her master, she could only tear up and look at Lin Chang’sheng.

"Sorry—"

With that, Liu Siyue hurried off.

Now Lin Chang’sheng felt kind of awkward, like he’d actually bullied her.

"Alchemist Wu, you’re too harsh! Don’t let her take it too hard!"

Lin Chang’sheng said politely.

Even if Liu Siyue had brought this on herself, Lin Chang’sheng didn’t want her to do anything rash.

"It’s fine, that girl’s always been a handful. I haven’t got time to deal with her anyway—good that Elder Lin put her in her place!"

As he spoke, Wu Gang rifled through his storage bag and pulled out a token.

This token was milky white, about three fingers wide, with the word ’Guest’ engraved on the front and a furnace design on the back.

Very simple, but it carried some real weight.

This was the official Guest Minister Token of the Divine Pill Pavilion.

An Honored Guest Elder had a status equal to the Pavilion’s various Elders.

Which is why it had taken so long to finally hand out the token.

Any Guest Elder’s identity went through super strict background checks in the Divine Pill Pavilion.

Only after confirming that someone’s status and skills matched the token would it be granted.

"This is the Guest Minister Token of our Divine Pill Pavilion. With it, Elder Lin, you’ll have access to every branch pavilion and the Main Hall! You can look through and use any formulas or medicinal ingredients you find inside!"

Wu Gang said with a grin.

The disciples nearby were stunned.

Lin Chang’sheng had become a Guest Elder at this age?

Was his alchemy really that insane?

Past Guest Elders in the Divine Pill Pavilion were always hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years old.

Could Lin Chang’sheng’s few decades of alchemy measure up to those old alchemists, with centuries or millennia under their belts?

"I wonder if Lin Chang’sheng is actually that good—he really got a Guest Minister Token from our Divine Pill Pavilion?"

"Yeah! But if he’s giving pointers to Alchemist Wu, his alchemy skills have to be legit!"

"Even Elders from the Nine Great Immortal Sects came to hunt Lin Chang’sheng yesterday—he must be someone important!"

"Rumor has it he’s an Evil Cultivator, that’s why he’s been chased all this way! I wonder if it’s true?"

"Evil Cultivator? No way! What Evil Cultivator would care about alchemy? They only care about cultivation!"

...

The nearby alchemy disciples all chimed in.

Meanwhile, Lin Chang’sheng and Wu Gang had already walked off.

Now that Lin Chang’sheng had the Guest Minister Token, he could head out to the Divine Pill Pavilion’s Main Hall.

"Elder Lin, got any plans from here?"

On the way, Wu Gang asked curiously.

He knew Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t just stay here forever—he surely had bigger goals.

"Now that I’m a Guest Elder in the Divine Pill Pavilion, obviously I’ll be taking a trip to the Main Hall! But before I leave, I want to refine a few batches of elixirs. For that, I’ll need some herbs—Alchemist Wu, I hope you can help me track them down."

Lin Chang’sheng answered.

His Divine Healing Pills were running low. He planned to whip up some more, just in case.

If something unexpected came up on the road, being out of elixirs would be a real pain.

"No problem! Anything I can find is yours!"

Wu Gang agreed without hesitation.

It was almost like helping Lin Chang’sheng was an honor for him.

After that, Lin Chang’sheng wrote down the herbs needed to refine the Divine Healing Pill.

Wu Gang skimmed the list, brow furrowing a bit, but figured these were all ingredients he could get.

"This elixir looks like it’s First Grade, right?"

Wu Gang asked, surprised.

He figured this pill might be even stronger than a First Grade Elixir.

"It’s a Holy Pill Formula!"

Lin Chang’sheng replied simply, leaving Wu Gang so shocked his jaw almost dropped.
