Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 193 – Mysterious Medical Sect Letter

[One-Grade Crystal Formation Elixir]: A dream elixir for all Foundation Establishment cultivators. The higher the quality, the greater the assistance it provides during breakthroughs, increasing the success rate of advancing to the Crystal Realm.

Success Rate: 100%, with an additional +10 points to all combat attributes upon breakthrough.

Lin Jichen looked at the elixir given to him by Fang Qingzhu and felt a bit regretful.

His master had already given him this Crystal Formation Elixir.

However, it was still a kind gesture from Fang Qingzhu, probably because she saw that his realm was stuck at the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment Realm and wanted to help him.

Even though he already had one, it was no big deal. He could save it for Ren Lan, and if she had one too, he could give it to Gu Qiuxue or even auction it off.

This was the highest quality Crystal Formation Elixir, and it would definitely be highly sought after at the auction house.

Moreover, it came with additional attribute bonuses, which other grades of Crystal Formation Elixirs did not have.

Other grades of Crystal Formation Elixirs also had lower success rates, with the lowest being only 30%.

Many unlucky players had to fail several times before successfully forming a crystal.

Lin Jichen put away the Crystal Formation Elixir and looked at another item, a letter.

[Letter of Inner Temple Disciple from the Mysterious Medical Sect]: The bearer of this letter can directly join the Mysterious Medical Sect as an Inner Temple disciple! The prerequisite is that they have not joined another sect or have left their current sect.

This...

Could Fang Qingzhu be trying to recruit him into the Mysterious Medical Sect? But he was a member of the Sword Sect. If his master saw this, he would definitely go to the Mysterious Medical Sect to settle the score.

But since it was a reward, he just wouldn't use it himself. He could give this spot to someone else.

Lin Jichen thought of his cousin, Gu Qiuxue.

But he wasn't sure if Gu Qiuxue would choose to be a healer. If she preferred another profession, Lin Jichen wouldn't force her.

Gu Qiuxue hadn't played Tale of Immortal in her past life, so it was up to her to decide.

He decided to keep both the letter and the Crystal Formation Elixir for now.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, you're seriously injured. Healing is your priority. I have some elixirs here that might help."

Lin Jichen took out some elixirs from his shop and handed them to Fang Qingzhu.

Fang Qingzhu chuckled but felt grateful. "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Lin, but our Mysterious Medical Sect is a major healer sect. I have my own healing elixirs."

She then took out a bottle of Mysterious Grade elixirs, making Lin Jichen awkwardly retract his elixirs.

Of course, the Mysterious Medical Sect's elixirs were the best in Tale of Immortal, even better than those of the Tianyan Sword Sect. He wouldn't embarrass himself further.

Fang Qingzhu took an elixir and waved her delicate hand in the air, a white light enveloping her.

Her injuries began to heal at a visible speed, and her pale face regained its color.

In less than half an hour, after using several skills, she was fully recovered.

Lin Jichen marveled at the effectiveness of healers. They could heal others and themselves, and true healer experts had formidable combat abilities.

Otherwise, Fang Qingzhu wouldn't have been able to hold off the demonic army for so long.

The earlier battle in the Thunder Tree Forest also proved this point. Both Liang Baiye and Fang Qingzhu's combat skills were not inferior to those of other cultivators.

Never underestimate healers. Even among players, there were many expert healers.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, my injuries have healed. Thank you for protecting me," Fang Qingzhu said with a smile.

"You're welcome. It was no trouble at all. Now that you're healed, what are your plans?" Lin Jichen asked.

Fang Qingzhu sighed. "I was ordered by my master to come to the Thunder Marsh with Senior Brother Liang Baiye to find the Thunder Dragon. I didn't expect to encounter such trouble along the way."

"You're also here to find the Thunder Dragon?" Lin Jichen was surprised.

"Yes, my master needs the Thunder Dragon's essence blood to refine an Earth Grade elixir, the Dragon Blood Elixir. Are you here for the Thunder Dragon too?"

"Yes, but I'm here for the Thunder Spirit Heart," Lin Jichen replied.

"I see. How about we search together? You need the Thunder Spirit Heart, and I need the dragon blood," Fang Qingzhu suggested.

Lin Jichen was happy to accept. Having someone with him meant more help, and Fang Qingzhu, being a healer, could assist him greatly.

"But we must be extra careful. The Ten Thousand Demon Sect is also searching for the Thunder Dragon. Plus, your senior brother is likely still looking for you in the Thunder Marsh, so we need to be cautious," Lin Jichen warned.

Fang Qingzhu was taken aback and murmured, "I knew it. No wonder Liang Baiye was so eager to get rid of me!"

"Is there a connection?" Lin Jichen asked, puzzled.

Fang Qingzhu raised her eyebrows and explained, "Liang Baiye has probably joined the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. He wants to offer the Thunder Dragon to them. To prevent me from finding out, the best way is to eliminate me and then return to the sect with an excuse, saying I died at the hands of exotic beasts or demonic cultivators. It's a flawless plan."

"Why is the Ten Thousand Demon Sect so eager to find a Thunder Dragon?" Lin Jichen was confused.

"I heard the Demonic Sect is planning something big. Recently, the righteous cultivators of the four provinces launched a collective attack on the Demonic Sect, causing them significant losses. The major demonic sects decided to retaliate by appointing a young leader to lead this revenge battle."

Fang Qingzhu paused before continuing, "This leader will be chosen from the most outstanding disciples of the major demonic sects. The Ten Thousand Demon Sect wants the Thunder Dragon to help their Young Sect Leader obtain the Thunder Spirit Heart and increase his strength."

Lin Jichen suddenly understood but was also speechless.

Great, the next plot opportunity was coming soon.

The pace was picking up.

"In that case, we must not let the Ten Thousand Demon Sect succeed. We must get the Thunder Dragon!" Fang Qingzhu, who hated demons, said firmly.

Lin Jichen agreed. He wasn't doing it to stop the Ten Thousand Demon Sect but purely for the Thunder Spirit Heart to increase his chances of crossing the tribulation.

The two decided to join forces.

They began to search for the Thunder Dragon in the Thunder Marsh, moving cautiously.

With company, Lin Jichen didn't need to go on autopilot.

As night fell, the mountain wind blew, the pines rustled, and the chill grew.

In a cave, the two chatted, sharing cultivation insights and amusing stories, becoming more and more in sync.

Fang Qingzhu already considered Lin Jichen a close friend, laughing and talking with him.

[Ding! Fang Qingzhu's affection level towards you +5! Current affection level: 35 points (Close Companions)]

The night passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Jichen didn't feel bored and even gained five affection points from Fang Qingzhu.

"Dawn has broken. Let's set off. We need to find the Thunder Dragon before the Ten Thousand Demon Sect does," Lin Jichen said eagerly.

"Yes," Fang Qingzhu agreed, getting up immediately. The two left the cave together.

Though the weather had cleared and there was no more thunderstorm, to avoid attracting the attention of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, especially with Liang Baiye still pursuing them, they decided not to travel by air.
