After the third senior sister left, he came outside the main gate of Peach Blossom Pond to look for Du Yuze.
Seeing Lin Yifan come out, Du Yuze was especially happy, quickly approaching to hand over the bag of elixirs he was holding to Lin Yifan.
However, just as Lin Yifan reached out to take it, Du Yuze pulled the bag back, looking heartbroken, "Boss, I only have so few elixirs left; I'm giving them all to you now, you must treat me well in the future."
"Alright! Alright! Don't pretend to be pitiful. These elixirs are just trivial matters for you, easy to obtain, so don't pretend to be kind here like a cat crying over a mouse."
Lin Yifan immediately saw through Du Yuze's pretense and didn't buy it.
"Boss, how can you say that? I got these by risking my life, they are my precious treasures; now I'm giving them all to you, and you... you... sigh!"
Du Yuze acted very sorrowful, his performance was Oscar-worthy.
"Okay, okay, I promise to treat you well in the future!"
Lin Yifan was convinced and didn't want to argue too much with Du Yuze.
"Really?"
Du Yuze's tearful eyes suddenly brightened, and his whole demeanor became lively.
"Stop with the nonsense, will you? Want me to beat you up?"
Lin Yifan was really tired of this guy; if not for the few bottles of elixirs given selflessly, he would have kicked him away long ago.
"No, no, no! Boss, let's discuss this peacefully, I'll give them to you now."
Du Yuze dared not pretend anymore and immediately handed the bag over to Lin Yifan.
After taking the bag and finding quite a few elixirs inside, Lin Yifan nodded in satisfaction.
He then assigned a task to Du Yuze, asking him to help craft a few Marrow Cleansing Pills.
Only by working together could they gather the required elixirs for Cinnabar Palace in the shortest time possible.
Du Yuze didn't refuse, but he wasn't very skilled at crafting Marrow Cleansing Pills yet and couldn't guarantee 100% success, so he let Lin Yifan be prepared.
No matter the outcome, Lin Yifan wouldn't blame Du Yuze, as the latter helping was already a huge favor; he didn't need to vent the trouble he'd taken upon himself onto Du Yuze.
Upon hearing this, Du Yuze was very pleased and then went back to work on refining Marrow Cleansing Pills.
If he finished early, he would also help Lin Yifan refine a few bottles of Primordial Nourishing Pills and Yuan Force Pills, just in case.
Refining Marrow Cleansing Pills requires high-grade medicinal herbs, and since there hasn't been a recent alchemy conference, the materials for Marrow Cleansing Pills were available in the medicine room.
Lin Yifan had already purchased several batches, so he could now start refining.
Returning to his room, he didn't rush to start the fire for refining but instead reviewed the refining procedures for Marrow Cleansing Pills to familiarize himself and then wrote them down.
After memorizing everything, he began the process of refining.
Lin Yifan's alchemy skills had surpassed Du Yuze, who was at the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak, so crafting Marrow Cleansing Pills was not a difficult task for him, especially with the procedures to refer to.
Within a day, he successfully refined three Marrow Cleansing Pills, completing three-fifths of the task; the remaining two-fifths was left for Du Yuze.
With the Marrow Cleansing Pills done, he then proceeded to refine Primordial Nourishing Pills and Yuan Force Pills.
He needed to refine several bottles of Primordial Nourishing Pills and over a dozen bottles of Yuan Force Pills, so it was a heavy task, and he couldn't afford to be careless.
Lin Yifan rarely refined Primordial Nourishing Pills, but Yuan Force Pills he knew inside out; so he focused all his efforts on the Primordial Nourishing Pills, knowing once done, everything else would fall in place.
Being a Fifth Grade elixir, Primordial Nourishing Pills were of a lower grade than Marrow Cleansing Pills, so for Lin Yifan, they posed no great difficulty.
As expected, after quickly reviewing the refining steps, he was able to craft the Primordial Nourishing Pills.
The Medicinal Saint Valley didn't lack for herbs but rather for those capable of refining high-grade elixirs.
Therefore, there was plenty of healing elixir stock, with no concerns needed.
Two days later, Lin Yifan gathered all the elixirs, ahead of schedule by a day.
However, although he's been in the Cultivation World for quite some time, he didn't know the exact location of Cinnabar Palace, so he inquired with Du Yuze.
Du Yuze, having been around the Cultivation World for years, naturally knew where each Sect was, so he immediately provided Lin Yifan with the exact location of Cinnabar Palace.
Received an address, Lin Yifan excitedly left for Cinnabar Palace.
After traveling several thousand kilometers, he finally reached Cinnabar Palace.
It was also established on Spirit Mountain, but compared to the Spirit Mountain of the Medicinal Saint Valley, it was far inferior.
Even so, Cinnabar Palace was still a middle-tier Sect with considerable strength.
Calming his heart, Lin Yifan set foot on the long stone stairway leading to the palace gates.
The stairs, numbering in the thousands, would leave an ordinary person breathless; but Lin Yifan moved leisurely, as if gliding, with seemingly no effort.
All because Lin Yifan used Qinggong, enabling him to move as if flying, requiring no physical strength, just Cultivation Power.
Minutes later, he reached the open space before the gate of Cinnabar Palace.
At this moment, a gatekeeping disciple sternly scolded, "Who are you? Leave immediately!"
This was the sacred ground of cultivators, not a step for mortals, lest they be driven away with sticks.
"I've come to deliver elixirs. Two days ago, there was a shortage in our warehouse, so we couldn't supply the elixirs your Cinnabar Palace requested from the Medicinal Saint Valley on time; they are now crafted and brought here personally," responded Lin Yifan.
"Elixirs? Where?" the gatekeeping disciple remained skeptical and wanted to inspect them personally.
Lin Yifan took the bag from his back and placed it on the ground for the Cinnabar Palace's gatekeeping disciple to examine.
To be safe, only one disciple was sent to check.
So a male guard approached.
The gatekeeping disciples were just personnel, seemingly not held in high esteem in the Outer Palace.
Upon reaching Lin Yifan, the guard opened the bag in front of everyone, revealing its true contents.
Once everyone saw it was filled with elixirs, they relaxed and trusted Lin Yifan's words and identity.
Two days ago, some senior sisters had instructed them to immediately notify if anyone from the Medicinal Saint Valley arrived with elixirs within three days.
So one guard gave another a look, signaling him to secretly leave and report inside.
The guard understood the hint and discreetly slipped away into the palace.
Though he moved quietly, Lin Yifan still caught him in the corner of his eye.
