On the complex mountain road, a modified war vehicle that resembled a giant monster was driving along.
The experienced driver had 20 years of experience with special vehicles, and had driven on this rugged mountain road at least hundreds of times. Although it wasn’t as if it were a smooth road, Lin Beichen, sitting by the window and opening the sunroof, didn’t feel any dust or bumps.
Seeing the driver control the vehicle with ease, Lin Beichen gradually relaxed and turned his head to Qi Liuyan, saying:
"Do you have something to say to me? If you don’t say it now, I may not listen when we get there."
Qi Liuyan shrank into a corner of the car, trying hard to minimize her presence.
However, who could she deceive with such a self-deceptive tactic?
She glared at Lin Beichen fiercely before speaking, hesitantly:
"You think you can get the treasures when you arrive at the Medicine Immortal Pavilion? In my opinion, you’re not far from death!"
"There are external rumors that our Medicine Immortal Pavilion is just a name without substance, and that we only achieved our wealth today due to discovering some lost heritage. But that’s merely a rumor; in reality, we are the alchemy masters of the Earth Vein Five Elements Sect!"
"As early as 100 years ago, one of our Pavilion’s predecessors refined an Immortal Pill, and by relying on it, they broke through the Death Gate, reaching an unspeakable realm."
"However, not long after breaking through the Death Gate, that predecessor disappeared. For decades, until Mr. Li Jiang appeared, we finally got another expert who broke through the Death Gate.
There are at least 12 Law Enforcement Elders like Qi Tiankuang in our Pavilion, and not to mention other elders and experts, totaling at least 50 people!"
"Besides, various families associated with the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, and the experts we’ve assisted, also number around fifty, making us at least ten times stronger than Zhongcheng Hall!"
Lin Beichen listened silently, counting on his fingers, and his face showed a hint of astonishment.
"With so many people gathered at your Medicine Immortal Pavilion, do you have enough food? Don’t tell me that when I get there, I’ll have to live on air and eat grass to fill my stomach?"
Lin Beichen asked suspiciously.
Qi Liuyan’s grandiose speech was intended to see the look of terror on Lin Beichen’s face, but contrary to her expectations, he responded with such an absurd remark!
"You... you bastard."
Qi Liuyan was so angry that she almost fainted.
This jerk didn’t understand a bit of human nature.
"Our Medicine Immortal Pavilion doesn’t need to stock up on supplies. Various families rush to send them to us, and we wouldn’t be short of food?
Even if they gave us ten mountains of gold, we wouldn’t care, so take your pitiful knowledge elsewhere!"
Qi Liuyan said through gritted teeth.
Lin Beichen smiled faintly.
"My knowledge may not be high, but my methods are better than yours, and that’s a fact, right?"
Qi Liuyan gritted her teeth in anger once more.
Usually, she was a calm and silent woman, and anyone who saw her had to respectfully call her Fairy Qi or Miss Qi.
Such a title wasn’t out of politeness, but because no one could make her feel approachable.
Seeing her cold demeanor, others naturally just addressed her by a nickname.
But after meeting Lin Beichen, she repeatedly lost her composure, always helpless against him.
In the past, she could face anything without changing her expression, but now Lin Beichen’s few words could break her composure.
This jerk seemed like her destined nemesis.
The driver was driving while occasionally sneaking a glance at the rear-view mirror.
This beautiful woman, if placed outside, would at least be at a superstar level of beauty, and if she appeared online, she would definitely be considered a goddess.
Such a woman had men lining up to curry favor with her, but this young master was the exception. Not only did he not say a good word, he didn’t even bother to pretend.
Such a man was a true modern-day hero, unlike those fools who lose their dignity at the sight of a woman.
The car fell into silence.
Lin Beichen was unconcerned with Qi Liuyan’s attitude and instead began to circulate the Power of the Five Elements in his hand outside the window.
A swirl of dust carried by the Five Elements Qi, with some small wooden fragments and leaves, was quickly kneaded by the Power of the Five Elements into an Elixir Pill.
During this process, Lin Beichen discovered something unusual.
He had just re-refined the wooden golem’s body, which should now contain Tier Two Power of the Five Elements.
However, he just noticed that the wooden golem was actively absorbing the forest’s Earth and Wood Qi!
In the Five Elements, Earth and Wood Qi support and control each other. The wooden golem cultivating on its own also meant it was helping Lin Beichen enhance the Earth of the Five Elements’ energy.
"If the Medicine Immortal Pavilion is truly as Qi Liuyan said, a genuine ancient heritage, and is more powerful than Zhongcheng Hall by more than tenfold.
With just their treasure vault alone, it should be enough for me to complete the Five Elements Qi cultivation. If I can find enough materials afterward, I might be able to break through to the Celestial Human Realm in one go."
Regarding the various realms, Lin Beichen wasn’t clear on their divisions.
For instance, Qi Liuyan mentioned ordinary experts, peak experts, and above the peak, there seemed to be a Death Gate Realm.
These realm divisions were so unclear that even Qi Liuyan couldn’t explain, so it was pointless for Lin Beichen to ask.
His understanding of realms was simpler.
Anyone who mastered the Five Elements Qi was considered extraordinary; those who didn’t were ordinary people.
Even the so-called peak experts were merely more robust among ordinary people.
Above the peak, there’s just barely enough capacity to contain Five Elements Qi.
As for breaking through the Death Gate, Lin Beichen wasn’t sure yet. Even if Qi Liuyan exaggerated, it was likely just mastering one branch of the Power of the Five Elements.
