Chapter 51 - 42 Planning
"Guest Elders are divided into three ranks. First-rank Guest Elder, figures in the Condensation Stage. Second-rank Guest Elder, achieved great mastery in body refinement, has mastered one martial art to Great Perfection but cannot step into the Condensation Stage. Third-rank Guest Elder is similar to elite disciples in the Academy, generally has achieved mastery in four body refinement Cultivation Techniques and can have their own expertise."
"This kind of evaluation isn’t that clear for me," Lin Yuan silently digested the information in his heart. After all, after this period of deduction, he wasn’t sure what level he could reach if he went all out.
Putting his mind into the Nine-Chapter Space, looking at the lush gourd vines, Lin Yuan felt a bit emotional: "The Stone Opening Hand and Snake Dragon Movement have both been deduced to the perfect state. Without the support of elixirs, relying solely on Qi-Blood Powder for accumulation, trying to further enhance and continue deducing would be too slow."
"At my current pace of refining Qi-Blood Powder, even using the maximum amount, it might take half a year to push Stone Opening Hand and Snake Dragon Movement beyond the limit."
"The efficiency is too low, it’s better to wait until Qi-Blood Powder refining and deduction reach perfection. But the amount of Qi-Blood Powder needed for Alchemy Technique deduction is almost ten times that used for a martial art."
Lin Yuan sighed: "Time is on my side, slowly accumulating!"
As Lin Yuan was contemplating, a sleazy voice came from beside him.
"Brother Lin, come try my powerful enchanted brew from Zuichun House." Ji Guoxiang handed over a leather bag, bulging with liquid.
"I guarantee it’s silky smooth, full-bodied. It has a refreshing sweetness like cherries, with a hint of bitterness and the softness of vanilla, just like... well, it makes you can’t help but get vigorous." Ji Guoxiang had a look of intoxication and couldn’t help but thrust his lower body forward.
"Ji brother, I’ve heard people saying it’s not very peaceful lately?" Lin Yuan didn’t take Ji Guoxiang’s wine but asked instead.
Having spent this time together, Lin Yuan learned that Ji Guoxiang was a carefree person, often frequenting brothels for performances. Without any family constraints, he was often generous with his money, sponsoring many peers to visit Zuichun House.
