In the cabin, Lin Ze woke up from meditating, with a melancholy expression on his face: There are still not enough training resources.
Lin Ze, who originally made a lot of money from various overseas sects, thought that these resources would be enough for him to reach the peak of the Soul Realm.
The plan could not keep up with the changes. In the past twenty days, Lin Ze had consumed far more resources than he originally expected.
The fundamental reason lies in the soul carving method that Lin Ze obtained from Xu Fu twenty days ago.
Lin Ze used a secret method to pour a large number of thoughts into the villain's soul, and after carefully crafting it, his spirituality was greatly enhanced.
Especially those two bright eyes, full of spirituality and intoxicating.
The price paid also included a large number of treasures that enhanced the soul.
During this period of time, although the villain's soul has not increased much in height, its strength has increased by 30%.
If he meets the Immortal Seeking Tu again, Lin Ze can guarantee that the villain’s spirit will definitely last a little longer.
The advantages do exist, but the disadvantages also follow.
Lin Ze estimated that at the rate at which resources were consumed during this period, if the resources continued to be consumed, let alone reaching the peak of the divine soul realm, it would be a bit reluctant for the villain's divine soul to grow to seven feet.
It seemed that he had to think of other ways, and Lin Ze kept it in mind.
"Dong dong dong"
There was a knock on the door, and Wu Fan stood outside the door and said softly: "Let me tell you, Lord Marquis, the fleet will arrive at Donglin Island as soon as tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. May I ask, Lord Marquis, what orders do you have?"
Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "Since you have been promoted to Grand Master, when you arrive at the shore, I will ask your Majesty for instructions and make you a Marquis."
"You were born in the Black Guards and have been in charge of the Imperial Guards for a long time. Now the Tingwei Mansion will be under your command."
"Whether it is the black-clad guards or the royal-clad guards, you will be able to command them all. However, I have a request that the two cannot be mixed together. Do you understand?"
Wu Fan bowed and replied: "I understand that, thanks to the Marquis's respect, I will do my best to serve the Marquis."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be too polite, and the connections with various overseas sects must not be cut off. After all the children needed by each sect are collected, you will have to take them on a trip."
"In addition, after I land, I have to go to the Dao Palace. You can sort out all the information. When I come back, pick a few important ones to talk to me."
Seeing Wu Fan bending down again, Lin Ze frowned slightly and said, "There is no need to salute. You are also a strong master at the master level. There is no need to act like a servant."
Wu Fan said with determination: "My subordinates are the servants of the Marquis. No matter what happens to my subordinates, this will never change."
Lin Ze felt a little headache. He felt a little uncomfortable with showing his loyalty at every turn, but he was too lazy to do ideological work for Wu Fan. He could only wave his hand and said: "Go down."
…
On the morning of the third day, four large ships slowly docked at the port of Donglin Island.
Lin Ze, who had been away from land for more than four months, set foot on this land again.
Lin Ze didn't stay too long on the island. He directly pulled a piece of camp cloth, packed the more than 10,000 jade boxes on the ship into a huge baggage, carried it on his back, and flew to the Taoist Palace.
Carrying such a huge burden from east to west, spanning thousands of miles, took nearly two hours even though Lin Ze's martial arts was extraordinary.
Daogong, Shouzheng and Xuanming looked at Lin Ze appearing in the sky above Daogong carrying a huge baggage, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
"What are you doing, sage?"
Lin Ze glanced at the Dao Palace disciples and elders who had gathered, and replied loudly: "Palace Master Shouzheng, Elder Xuanming, this is not the place to talk. I wonder if we can find a secluded place to talk in detail?"
Shouzheng looked at the baggage behind Lin Ze, calculated the size of the main hall of the Taoist palace, and said, "Although the sage is a poor Taoist, how about going to the main hall of the Taoist palace?"
"Please lead the way, Palace Master," Lin Ze said happily without feeling inappropriate.
"Have you finished your homework today? Aren't you afraid of being tested? Why don't you hurry back?" Shouzheng dispersed the surrounding Dao Palace disciples and elders with a few words, and took Lin Ze to the main hall of the Dao Palace.
The main hall of Dao Palace occupies a very large area, with a length and width of more than 200 meters. It is no less generous than the Chengtian Hall in Xianyang Palace.
The spacious main hall of the Taoist Palace just met Lin Ze's needs. After entering the main hall, he gently placed the large bundle in the center of the main hall of the Taoist Palace.
"I wonder what your sage is doing when he comes here this time?"
Shouzheng asked while instructing the Taoist boy to serve fruits, snacks and tea.
Lin Ze thought for a moment and said, "I am here to negotiate a big deal with the Taoist Palace."
Shouzheng and Xuanming looked at each other and said somewhat puzzled: "I wonder what the deal is?"
As if he felt that it was not a good question to ask, Shouzheng added: "If it is not troublesome, the sage does not need to mention the transaction, just give the instructions."
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "This matter is indeed quite troublesome, and it is not that easy to complete."
"To be honest, I would like to ask Palace Master Shouzheng to help me refine elixirs that can help people break through to the master realm."
Shouzheng was stunned for a moment: "There are thirty-three kinds of seventh-grade heavenly materials involved in the elixir glazing, and hundreds of kinds of sixth-grade earthly treasures. Where did the sages come from so many resources?"
"With the strength of the Dao Palace, we can still collect some of the sixth-grade earth treasures, but with so many seventh-grade treasures, the Dao Palace is also powerless."
Lin Ze directly opened the big bundle, poured out the jade boxes inside, and divided the jade boxes into two piles, one large and one small.
Lin Ze pointed at the large pile and said: "There are more than 10,000 pieces of the seventh-grade heavenly materials mentioned by the palace master, which can be selected by the palace master and used to make elixirs."
"I don't expect much from you. The palace master only needs to successfully refine fifty furnaces of elixirs."
"Furthermore, every time a furnace of elixirs is made, I solemnly promise to give one of the three elixirs to the Dao Palace as a reward for asking Lord Shouzheng Palace to refine the elixir."
When Shouzheng and Xuanming saw Lin Ze dumping a large pile in the main hall of the Taoist Palace, their first reaction was, is the sage crazy?
How can anyone in the world afford such a seventh-grade heavenly material just to make elixirs?
"If you two don't believe it, you can open the jade box and see if it is really a seventh-grade talent?"
Of course, Lin Ze knew that his behavior would cause confusion to the two people in Daogong, but he was also prepared, so he explained calmly.
"Purple-hearted magnolia grass, ten thousand-year-old bamboo, and black jade pearls. Palace Master, I'm afraid these are all true."
Xuan Ming opened three jade boxes one after another and casually read out the items contained in the jade boxes, which undoubtedly proved from the side that Lin Ze was not joking.
"Elder Xuanming, what do you think?"
Elder Xuanming was not shirking responsibility. He replied bluntly: "This matter is of great importance. Please make your own decision, Palace Master."
"What should I do if the refining of the elixir fails?"
Lin Ze just told Shouzheng Xuanming about the treatment for successful refining, but not the treatment for failed refining.
"If the refining fails, I will not receive any benefits from the Dao Palace."
Shouzheng didn't think much and replied directly: "Pindao agreed to this deal."
