Chapter 292: Super-Class Formation Master!
"This is unexpected. You have quite a few side businesses."
Inside the cold and silent grand hall of Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun glanced at the large cloth bag filled with nearly a hundred Body Refining Crystal Pills in Jiang Lin's hands, and after a moment of contemplation, she nodded, accepting the gesture, and placed the bag beside her.
In the grand hall of Yunlan Sect, at this moment, only Yun Yun and Jiang Lin were present. The other disciples and elders of the Yunlan Sect were waiting outside, curious about the meeting. Given Jiang Lin's identity, he was treated much differently from Xiao Yan, who, upon his arrival, would have been stopped immediately by the sect's guards and mocked. Instead, Jiang Lin's position as a representative of the Refiner's Guild meant he was not only welcomed without delay but also allowed to meet with Yun Yun in the solemn grand hall, with all other elders waiting outside.
"Haha, it seems that every refiner has a spark of alchemy in their heart," Jiang Lin responded with a smile. His gaze shifted from the surroundings of the Yunlan Hall, which was filled with elegance and luxury, back to the woman before him.
It must be said that the relationship between Yunlan Sect and the Refiner's Guild was indeed deep. Even within the hall, Jiang Lin saw traces of formations. He wasn't looking around in awe like a country bumpkin but was actually observing the connections of the formations in the hall's hidden corners. If he wasn't mistaken, the Yunlan Hall served as one of the "nodes" of the large Lanwu Formation that enveloped the entire Yunlan Sect.
"I appreciate your kindness, but can you tell me your reason for coming?" Yun Yun calmly observed Jiang Lin's red-golden eyes, and in her green pupils, his reflection could be seen, especially the brightness in his gaze.
"Haha, indeed, I have a request," Jiang Lin replied with a smile, stating the real reason for his visit. Instead of saying he wanted to blow up Yunlan Sect, he said, "Have you ever heard of a material called Soul Gold? Of course, that's just the short name. Its full name is Ming Shen Soul Gold, a very special material."
Ming Shen Soul Gold, the material Jiang Lin mentioned, was a true seventh-grade material. Its quality determined whether it was classified as seventh-grade or sixth-grade material. There were also lower-grade versions of Soul Gold or similar materials, but those were backup options for Jiang Lin. Knowing that Yunlan Sect might possess better materials, Jiang Lin naturally wanted to try and obtain the best.
Soul Gold was a term for metals capable of storing the soul essence of magical beasts. Other similar materials included Soul Wood and Soul Core.
Based on the information Jiang Lin gathered from Yuan Bao, Soul Gold, Soul Wood, and Soul Cores were core materials for formation masters. It was said that formation masters could extract the essence of magical beasts and use it as the core for their formations, summoning the beast's phantom to assist in battle, called a "Formation Beast."
Of course, Jiang Lin couldn't do such things. They required senior formation masters' expertise. Although he had considered creating a "spirit tool" (which he had originally thought of for Medicine Dust… no, wait, it was the spirit tool, Grandfather!), Jiang Lin couldn't do it yet. He was simply used to leaving enough design leeway for his experimental Dou Qi tools.
Now that he knew Yunlan Sect had high-level Soul Gold, Jiang Lin wasn't willing to wait for Xiao Yan to mess things up. He wanted to get the Ming Shen Soul Gold before Xiao Yan caused any trouble. He knew if Xiao Yan threw bombs around carelessly, it could cause problems.
"Ming Shen Soul Gold?" Yun Yun's eyes showed a faint trace of doubt, seemingly recalling whether she had heard of it, but eventually, she shook her head. "I can assure you, I've never heard of it."
"I know. The Refiner's Guild has records of it, but it's from more than twenty years ago. If possible, I would like to ask the former sect master. I know some of the older elders in Yunlan Sect might have heard of it, but to find out where the Soul Gold is and make a decision, I'll need to ask the old sect master. To be honest, the Soul Gold I'm referring to is at least a sixth-grade material, and it's very rare," Jiang Lin explained directly.
Jiang Lin wasn't hesitant to explain the value of Ming Shen Soul Gold.
Although he liked finding bargains, that was only when others were willing to sell at a fair price. In Yun Yun's case, he was directly asking for it. He wasn't worried about paying a high price, but about whether they would sell it to him at all.
"If it's something that can be solved with money, it's not a problem for me. After all, I own 5% of the total value of the Feather Sheath Wings in the Gamal Empire. I'm not rich enough to rival a country, but I have certainly reached a level where I can say, 'I'm not interested in money.'"
And don't worry, Jiang Lin also had the Crystal Pills. These would eventually be made by the Refiner's Guild, and he would likely receive a considerable share from that as well. Whether it was the Feather Sheath Wings or the Crystal Pills, these were consumables, and in the future, the Refiner's Guild would be more than willing to share profits with him.
"Are you looking for my master?" Yun Yun's beautiful green eyes flashed with incredulity.
