After refining the exorcism pill, Lin Bing originally planned to return to his cave. After all, Ouyang Linghu had exhausted his spiritual energy.
Although she has woken up with the help of her own spiritual energy input, she will definitely not be able to refine it again in a short time.
But when Ouyang Linghu saw Lin Bing was about to leave, he suddenly held his hand and begged with a haggard face.
"Junior sister Lin, can you stay with me for a few days? I'm a little scared now. The feeling of spiritual energy exhaustion is too uncomfortable. Please!"
Lin Bing turned his head and saw Ouyang Linghu's pleading eyes. He knew in his heart that this was Ouyang Linghu's trust and dependence on him. If he forced him to leave, it would be a bit too cruel, so in the end Lin Bing could only give in. Head, promised to stay with her.
In the cave, the two sat opposite each other, and a faint fragrance filled the air. It was the smell of the elixir refined by Ouyang Linghu.
Lin Bing took a deep breath and felt her whole body relax.
"Let's practice here for the next few days."
Ouyang Linghu spoke softly, with a hint of exhaustion and happiness in his tone.
I was tired because my spiritual energy had just run out, and I was happy because I could practice with Lin Bing.
After a day and night of recovery, Ouyang Linghu suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Lin Bing.
Although Lin Bing had been practicing, he still felt the gaze of Ouyang Linghu, and then he said lightly.
"If you don't practice properly and recover, why are you just looking at me like this? If you have anything to say, just say it."
Ouyang Linghu just smiled awkwardly when he heard this, but finally asked.
"Junior sister Lin, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. Why do you have to watch from the side every time I refine the elixir?"
After Ouyang Linghu asked, he stared directly into Lin Bing's eyes, as if he wanted to find the answer.
Lin Bing was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "Because I'm not worried."
"Are you worried?" Ouyang Linghu frowned, not understanding what Lin Bing meant.
Lin Bing took a deep breath and his tone became a little serious.
"To tell you the truth, I once saw other alchemists adding some monster bones as materials when refining elixirs. I don't want you to use this method in order to increase the success rate or increase the power of the elixirs. , because I don’t want to be contaminated by evil spirits.”
Ouyang Linghu was very surprised after hearing what Lin Bing said, because she never expected that Lin Bing also knew about the existence of demon bones and the secret of their alchemist.
Because apart from the elders or heads of the sect, few disciples like Lin Bing, who are only in the Qi refining stage, know this secret.
She originally thought that Lin Bing was just an ordinary outer disciple, but she didn't expect that he also knew something about monsters.
"You...how do you know this?" Ouyang Linghu asked hesitantly, with curiosity rising in his heart.
Lin Bing smiled faintly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. If you want to inquire about the addition of monster bones to the elixir, you can easily find out about it. Many alchemists don't even shy away from this, and even use it as a selling point. There is no regard for the life or death of others.”
Ouyang Linghu was silent for a moment. She knew that Lin Bing was telling the truth. In this world, some people would do anything to pursue a higher realm and stronger power.
Although Ouyang Linghu had never thought of using this method to improve the success rate, he had heard that some alchemists would use this method.
"I promise you that the bones of any monster will never be added to the elixir I refine." Ouyang Linghu said firmly, her eyes sparkling with crystal light.
She took a deep breath and continued with a trembling voice.
"The reason why I am determined not to add monster bones into the elixir is actually related to the fact that I must refine the exorcism elixir this time."
"Actually, my master is about to become a demon. It's all related to the pills he once took."
Ouyang Linghu's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes shone with crystal light.
"My master is almost over 300 years old, but he has never been able to break through the Nascent Soul stage. If he continues like this, sooner or later he will die due to exhaustion of his life span."
"So he took the elixir desperately, and it was the kind of elixir that was added with the bones of monsters. Because he took too much, the master was now close to becoming a demon. If he didn't take the exorcism pill quickly, sooner or later he would be It will completely turn into a monster.”
When Lin Bing heard this, he was extremely surprised. He had always thought that Ouyang Linghu was so obsessed with refining the exorcism pill in order to increase the success rate, but he did not expect that there was such an unknown secret hidden behind it.
"Actually, there is one more thing I want to tell you, that is, the exorcism grass is actually much more precious than you think." Ouyang Linghu looked at Lin Bing extremely seriously and said slowly.
Lin Bing was stunned, looking at Ouyang Linghu's tense face, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
"Do you know why the Blood Moon Sect is willing to purchase the exorcism grass for twenty medium-grade spiritual stones per plant?"
"Because this exorcism grass is rarer than you think."
Ouyang Linghu's voice was trembling, and her eyes were shining with crystal light.
"It has been nearly a month since the Blood Moon Sect issued a mission to find the exorcism grass, but of all the exorcism grass found, you only have so much in your hands."
"In such a rare situation, it would be impossible for me to buy them through normal means. Even if I am lucky enough to be able to buy a few plants, they will still be far from enough to meet Master's needs."
At this point, Ouyang Linghu's eyes turned slightly red, and she took a deep breath and said.
"You know, if there is an exorcism pill for sale on the market now, it will definitely sell for a sky-high price. According to the market price, an exorcism pill can be sold for at least a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, or even more."
Lin Bing was shocked. One thousand middle-grade spiritual stones was a number that he could not even imagine.
A picture emerged in his mind. In a magnificent auction house, everyone was vying to bid. A small pill was rising steadily in the competition, and finally the price was settled at an outrageous price.
"A month ago, an exorcism pill even fetched a high price of 2,000 yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones in the auction house. At that time, I knew that the exorcism pill had become so precious, but I could not provide it to Master. The elixir he needs."
After a pause, Ouyang Linghu continued to look into Lin Bing's eyes and said.
"It wasn't until I met you, until you found a lot of exorcism grass, that I saw hope again, so I tried every means to find you to cooperate."
After listening to Ouyang Linghu's words, Lin Bing also fell silent. Looking at the haggard but determined woman in front of him, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
