"It's starting." Lin Mo separated a wisp of blue demon flames with his divine thought, exuding a cold aura, and the temperature of the entire alchemy room instantly dropped significantly, becoming shrouded in yin energy.

"Refine!"

The blue Demon Cold Flame was both a unique flame and Lin Mo's soul; he could control the flame's temperature at will, making timely adjustments that were optimal.

Truly, if one could combine their soul and flame into one, it would undoubtedly be the dream of all alchemists."

About an hour later.

The crushed Blood Jade Ginseng and thorny flower successfully fused with the already formed Eternal Life Elixir, releasing a pleasant unusual fragrance.

"Hmm, impossible, impossible!"

The old man in the courtyard, hands clasped behind his back, had been pacing by the alchemy room's entrance. When he smelled the strange fragrance wafting out from within, his expression drastically changed.

"Senior, please fulfill your promise."

The door to the alchemy room opened, and four streams of flowing light shot out. The

old man's palm enveloped the four elixirs with Spiritual Energy, eyes widened as he inspected them closely, muttering in disbelief: "It really is top-grade Eternal Life Elixir, it really is top-grade Eternal Life Elixir."

"You kid, what method did you use? Impossible, impossible, I've spent my life researching alchemy techniques, but to elevate an elixir by another grade level, that's simply impossible."

The old man gritted his teeth as he stared at Lin Mo, eyes gleaming brightly like a hungry wolf that had spotted a tasty lamb.

"What method I used, I certainly can't tell you, senior, but don't forget the promise you made." Lin

Mo said with a light smile.

"Old man, didn't I say my master would definitely succeed? Now he's refined the Eternal Life Elixir, did you intend to renege?" Yingzi stuck out her pink tongue playfully.

"I, Zhuge Huai, keep my word. The Eternal Life Elixir and the Spirit Stones are all yours." The old man fumed and grumbled, before tossing the Eternal Life Elixir along with a Space Ring containing 400,000 top-grade Spiritual Stones to Lin Mo.

These Space Rings, like the Ice and Snow Ring, are only temporary and generally have a use-by date of three days; crafting one is expensive, and using them to buy things is not cost-effective.

"Then, thank you, senior." Lin Mo accepted the Space Ring, smiling softly.

"No, no, what method did you use, tell me?" The old man suddenly jumped in front of Lin Mo, scrutinizing him like a mouse with his sharp eyes, "Tell me, I'll pay you as many Spirit Stones as you want, or whatever elixirs or medicines you need, I can procure it."

"This, I really can't tell you, and even if I did, it would be of no use to you." Lin Mo replied helplessly. Lin

Mo spoke the truth; he used his soul's cold fire for refining elixirs, even if he told the old man, he wouldn't be able to use it.

"Forget it, forget it, if you don't want to say, so be it." The old man said angrily, then a hint of malice flickered through his eyes, "No, you're deliberately deceiving me, deliberately saying you want to refine the Eternal Life Elixir when buying things at the shop, ah, this old man fell for it."

Listening to the old man's words, seeing him leaping with indignation, Yingzi couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, stifling a laugh. Ying

Jian, clever as ice and snow, had long since seen through Lin Mo's tactics; the old man was clearly no ordinary shop attendant. When Lin Mo bought the Eternal Life Elixir, he purposefully said something for him to hear, which led to this bet.

"Senior, the bet was your idea, not mine." Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh, having easily saved 400,000 top-grade Spiritual Stones; of course, such things were welcome.

"Go, go, go, don't let me see you, it's annoying just to look at you." The old man huffed, squatting on the ground and waving his hand impatiently.

"Senior, farewell." Lin

Mo cupped his hands in respect and then left with Yingzi.

"Master, you're really amazing, this way we saved 400,000 top-grade Spiritual Stones." Yingzi followed beside Lin Mo, smiling happily, "Master, how did you know he wasn't a regular shop attendant?"

He possesses early-stage Condensation strength, while those shop attendants only have Foundation Establishment Stage strength; how could someone with early-stage Condensation power possibly be a shop attendant?" Lin

Mo said softly.

Then, Lin Mo led Yingzi around other stores, and just as Daoist Qiong Long said, while the shops sell numerous items, there were indeed some valuable treasures, medicines, elixirs, and magic artifacts, but only suitable for juniors; truly they have little use for big shots."

"Miss, this amber crystal is definitely top-grade, and can be used to craft some magic artifacts. The shop sells it for 1,000 Spirit Stones; I'm offering it to you for only 100 Spirit Stones, quite a bargain."

"Really? 100 Spirit Stones, quite cheap indeed." Lin

Mo and Yingzi had just stepped out of a shop and saw a man and a woman conversing quietly in the corner.

The man was a foreigner, a Martial Cultivator, Star Wheel Mirror Six-star.

The woman was a Magic Cultivator, a late-stage Foundation Establishment, obviously here with her elders to attend an advanced auction, sporting shoulder-length black hair, and was a Huaxia cultivator."

"This amber crystal is a trash item; buying it for 100 Spirit Stones just for decoration?" Lin Mo glanced at the crystal block in the man's hand, shook his head, and whispered.

"Trash item."

The woman wrinkled her brows, then stared suspiciously at the man trying to sell her the amber crystal.

"Miss, how can my amber crystal be a trash item?" The foreign man smiled generously, but when he turned to stare at Lin Mo, his eyes showed a clearly threatening intensity.

"Well, I'd better not buy it."

The woman suddenly shook her head; she needed this amber crystal to craft a magic treasure, but the ones in the shop cost 1,000 Spirit Stones, quite expensive for her. As soon as she stepped out of the shop, this foreign man approached her to quietly sell this amber crystal.

On this island, such occurrences are not rare; the island explicitly forbids street stalls, but such clandestine trades are overlooked by the island's forces, neither encouraged nor stopped.

"I've been explaining it to you for so long, buying it is necessary."

The foreign man's expression suddenly turned from an amiable smile to one of fierceness.

"Do you intend to force a sale?" The woman's brows knit, her clean face showing a hint of anger.

"I'll be candid; I'm from the All Gods Alliance. If you don't buy it today, you'll be offending our All Gods Alliance."

The foreign man said coldly.

Lin Mo, who initially didn't want to get involved, stopped in his tracks upon hearing the words "All Gods Alliance," revealing a slight curiosity on his face.

"I'm just not going to buy it, so what?" The woman snorted softly, her face now displaying a visible hint of anger.
