the next day.
Deacon Roseline came to greet them personally. All nine Tier 3 Transcendent beings—seven from Blackrock City, one from Watchtower City, and one from Goldenhorn Harbor—had arrived.
Helena Heavy Shield belongs to Watchtower City, while Vera Whisperer belongs to Golden Harbor.
The two were responsible for guarding the outpost in Linwu Village and eliminating the low-level monsters that were likely to launch a surprise attack.
Raymond, the head of the Silver Shield family, joined the raiding party. He had a brief conversation with his colleagues and soon met his daughter, Luna.
Luna hesitated for a moment before explaining to her father that Lin Er had broken through to the second tier.
After she finished speaking, she cautiously glanced at Raymond's expression.
Raymond's expression remained unchanged; he simply said in a deep voice, "You thought I was lying to you before?"
Luna quickly shook her head: "I wouldn't dare."
Raymond said calmly, "That kid is very close to the mage Maurice. Maurice has a deep foundation; he must have relied on Maurice's potion to break through by sheer luck."
Luna still hesitated: "Is that really true?"
Raymond continued, "As far as I know, potions that can forcibly elevate one's rank have extremely severe side effects, with a near-certain death rate for those who take them. He was just lucky."
Luna nodded as if she understood, but couldn't help saying, "But he's very strong after advancing to the second tier; he can almost instantly kill a troll at the peak of the second tier."
Raymond shrugged it off: "What's so difficult about that? He can only handle second-tier monsters. I learned the other day that Deacon Roslin originally intended to nominate that kid, but he actually gave up on his own initiative."
Luna was taken aback, then murmured softly, "The position of deputy steward—how could he give it up?"
Raymond chuckled softly: "It's obvious that the kid himself understands that his strength is limited to the second tier."
Lin Er got up early in the morning. His cultivation had progressed very rapidly yesterday; he had already refined most of the spiritual energy in his dantian and was close to breaking through.
There is still a lot of spiritual energy stored in Shuiyue, which can be slowly refined later.
He got up and went to Flora's tent, but found it empty.
I promised to see her off today, but she left early on her own.
Lin Er reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
Just then, Ellie walked outside the camp and brought over a package.
"Lord Lin'er, this is what Deacon Roslin asked me to give you."
Lin Er opened the package and saw that it contained two Star Vein Silver Ferns and two Dragon Blood Ginseng.
It took Ellie almost a week to acquire four Star Vein Silver Ferns and two Dragon Blood Ginseng. Butler Roseline acquired so many in just one day; she truly lives up to her title as a butler.
Most importantly, all of this is free; it's essentially Lin Er's advance payment.
Lin Er then asked, "Is there anything else you need, Deacon?"
Ellie replied, "The butler wants me to ask you when the poisonous fog will be dispelled."
Lin Er glanced at the sky; it was cloudless and the weather was perfect.
He said in a deep voice, "I will set off with Sister Ilulian shortly. Please ask the stewards to make preparations. Once the poisonous fog has dissipated in about three or four hours, please launch a surprise attack immediately."
Ellie said, "I will tell the butler."
Lin Er then called over Keller and Talia, and continued to say to Ellie, "Ellie, I'm leaving these two in your care."
Ellie nodded and said, "That's no problem."
After giving his instructions, Lin'er watched Talia and the others enter the stronghold, then found Ilulian and said, "Sister Ilulian, we're setting off now."
The two mounted the dragon eagle, then took to the air and flew towards the Misty Forest.
During the flight, Ilulian looked down at the misty forest beneath the dragon's wings and asked calmly, "Lin'er, where are we going now?"
Lin Er thought for a moment. This time, refining the Qi-Nourishing Pill required absorbing spiritual energy, so the more concentrated the elemental power around him, the better.
He then said, "Let's go to the place where the elemental power is the most concentrated."
Without a word, Ilulian swooped down on her dragon eagle, stopping about 30 or 40 meters above the ground, and began searching the Misty Forest.
Soon after, she finally found a suitable flat ground to land on.
"This should be a good spot, right?"
Lin Er jumped off the dragon eagle's back and circled around. There were many tall trees nearby, and the ground was covered with fresh lizard-like demi-human footprints.
This place is probably not far from the Fog Bone Nest.
However, with Illulian protecting me, I can rest assured.
Lin Er said, "This location is great, but the surrounding trees are blocking the view too much. Could you please help me clear them away?"
Upon hearing this, Illumi drew her twin swords and walked towards the tall evergreen trees beside her. She gently slashed twice, and the two evergreen trees crashed to the ground.
In a short while, a much wider open space was cleared out.
This way, if a monster attacks from nearby, it can be detected immediately.
Lin Er nodded in satisfaction, then took out the alchemy furnace and carefully placed it on the tree stump.
Ilulian looked at the strangely shaped furnace with a puzzled expression, but she didn't ask any further questions.
Lin Er had never tried refining so many Qi-Nourishing Pills at once before.
He first took out the wild orchids he had bought earlier, which Talia and the others had already ground into powder yesterday. He poured all the powder into the alchemy furnace, added rootless water, and immediately began refining it with spiritual fire.
An hour passed.
A rich aroma of herbs wafted through the air.
Lin Er opened the alchemy furnace and saw that the Rejuvenation Dew inside was crystal clear and of very high quality.
The refining was a great success, and his confidence soared.
Lin Er bottled the Rejuvenating Dew. This time, he refined nine bottles, which would be enough for a long time.
Ilulian finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "What kind of potion is this? Why is it so clear? I've never seen anything like it before."
Lin Er replied with a smile, "Sister Ilulian, these are healing potions. I'll give you three bottles."
Ilulian took the Rejuvenating Dew, sniffed it, and immediately drank a bottle.
"It tastes a bit like honey water, it's quite delicious."
Lin Er said helplessly, "Sister Ilulian, this is a healing potion, not juice."
Upon hearing this, Ilulian regretfully put away the remaining two bottles.
Lin Er withdrew his gaze and then stuffed all the Dragon Blood Ginseng and Star Vein Silver Fern into the alchemy furnace. The Dragon Blood Ginseng he cultivated was very large, and he barely managed to stuff all the materials in.
Close the furnace and begin refining the elixir!
His expression immediately turned serious.
Lin Er released spiritual energy and true fire from his palm to begin refining, suppressing all the medicinal power within the furnace.
Refining so many precious materials at once results in an extremely potent medicinal potency within the furnace, which could easily overflow if one is not careful.
He had to increase the spiritual fire, and the spiritual energy in his dantian was rapidly decreasing.
Lin Er mustered all his energy and took another Qi-boosting pill.
Two hours passed quickly.
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew up from the center of the alchemy furnace, gradually accumulating until it formed a tornado in a short time.
Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and the tall evergreen trees nearby made a rustling sound, their leaves and branches shaking violently.
The once clear, cloudless sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds began to gather.
Lin Er broke out in a cold sweat; his alchemy had reached a critical moment.
Just then, a series of rapid footsteps, accompanied by piercing shouts, and the sound of clashing weapons rang out from not far away.
He glanced over and saw many lizard-like soldiers who shouted a few times upon seeing the two of them, and then quickly surrounded them.
