Chapter 643: A Profound Immortal’s Needle
Chapter 643: A Profound Immortal’s Needle
Having lived for thousands of years, Mr. Qi had met countless experts in his life and one truth remained constant – doctors who could diagnose the illness may not be able to treat it, but those who could, definitely knew the illness.
No one expected Lin Jin to be able to tell Mr. Qi’s true identity, as well as the fact that he was severely injured.
This gave Mr. Qi a ray of hope, despite his acceptance of the fact that he wouldn’t make a full recovery.
Miao Yan Zhenren got excited too, as Mr. Qi’s injury was their sect’s greatest issue at the moment. After all, they would most likely never come across a being on Mr. Qi’s level. In terms of seniority and worth, this Qirin topped the chart. Thus, whoever could Mr. Qi’s old injuries would become their Mystery Dao Sect’s greatest benefactor.
The two of them stared straight at Lin Jin, awaiting his answer.
The next instant, Lin Jin’s lips moved to utter the words, “There is!”
Simple and clear.
Even so, hearing it thrilled Miao Yan Zhenren and Mr. Qi to no end. Due to their status and high level of cultivation, they couldn’t reveal their emotions that readily. However, a person’s eyes could never lie.
“How can it be treated?” Miao Yan Zhenren asked.
If Lin Jin proposed an idea now, he would have it verified at once. If it required any sort of treasure, he would find a way to obtain it.
Lin Jin didn’t continue.
He was going by a script he prepared. There was more than one way to treat Mr. Qi, and every solution was written in detail inside the museum. If Lin Jin wanted to, he could just read it all out.
However, he knew that the more valuable something was, the more reluctant he should be when it came to giving it away.

Mr. Qi’s injury had persisted for thousands of years, and it had worsened too. At this point, if they hadn’t come across Lin Jin, Mr. Qi’s cultivation would surely plummet in about ten years.
By sacrificing his cultivation, he was just buying precious time. If his cultivation plummeted further, he might be reduced back to a normal beast.
By then, he would be unable to maintain Transfiguration and even lose his spiritual intelligence. What difference was there between existing in such a state compared to death?
If Mr. Qi had a solution, they wouldn’t have waited until now. In other words, even profound immortals couldn’t come up with the solutions the museum provided.
What could be classified as priceless?
Sometimes, a treatment method was considered one, and Lin Jin possessed three of them.
Although unethical, it made sense for one to hoard rare commodities. For the sake of protecting himself, Lin Jin wasn’t foolish enough to offer the treatment method that readily.
With Lin Jin refusing to speak, Miao Yan Zhenren felt it was inappropriate to raise the question twice. Despite Mr. Qi’s anxiousness, he managed to hold himself back. Still, kept his eyes on Lin Jin instead.
After a long while, Lin Jin broke the silence.
“I will need time. To heal Mr. Qi’s injury, we require some precious materials.”
“That won’t be a problem,” Miao Yan Zhenren answered quickly.
“Also, there’s one more important thing.” Something came to Lin Jin’s mind while he was thinking, and it was his Psyche-Refining Needle.
One of the most crucial steps in treating Mr. Qi was to use the Psyche-Refining Needle to mend the damaged areas inside his body. So far, only Lin Jin’s Psyche-Refining Needle could handle the task adequately.
However, Psyche-Refining Needle was divided into grades.
The strongest needle Lin Jin had in his possession right now was the Thunderfire Needle which he hand-crafted. Even the Thunderfire Needle was insufficient when it came to treating someone like Mr. Qi.

Lin Jin needed something of a higher grade. A ‘Purple Thunder Needle’.
However, this needle was at the top of its class, as purple thunder was correspondingly the purest form of lightning. The immortals regarded purple as the greatest class, and such a practice was observed in human countries as well.
To craft this needle, they required divine purple lightning.
The average immortal couldn’t possibly craft one. Only profound immortals stood a chance.
For treating Mr. Qi’s injuries, although the Thunderfire Needle wasn’t good enough, it wasn’t completely useless. If Lin Jin had no other choice but to use it, the process would be more time-consuming. Still, since Lin Jin had the opportunity to obtain one ‘Purple Thunder Needle’, why did he have to hold back?
After exaggerating the situation a little, Lin Jin said, “Mr. Qi’s rank is unusually high, and because of his thunder Qirin bloodline, a Purple Thunder Needle is best-suited for mending his damaged foundation”
Lin Jin did not insist that it was necessary, only that it was best-suited for the role.
“Due to my limited cultivation, I can’t craft a Purple Thunder Needle. It’s quite a pity really.” Lin Jin sighed and shook his head, as if he couldn’t do the job without this item.
Now that Mr. Qi’s cultivation was at an all-time low, Miao Yan Zhenren had the highest cultivation among them. No matter how they saw it, he had to be the one to make the effort.
Sensing Mr. Qi’s gaze on him, Miao Yan Zhenren decisively said, “If it’s about crafting a magic treasure, you don’t have to worry about it. Allow me to help in the crafting process.”
That was the promise Lin Jin had been waiting for.
“It would be really great to have the help of a profound immortal. Though, I came in such a hurry that I didn’t bring enough materials with me…”
Before Lin Jin could finish his sentence, Miao Yan Zhenren responded, “Worry not. I’ll provide all the materials needed.”
That was settled then.
Lin Jin nodded. “I will be counting on you then, Zhenren.”
“Sure, sure!”
Lin Jin copied down the instructions for crafting the Purple Thunder Needle, courtesy of the museum. After checking it three times to ensure everything was correct, he handed it to Miao Yan Zhenren.
“We just have to craft it according to these instructions.” Lin Jin passed the papers to Miao Yan Zhenren, and the latter accepted it. After a glance, his brows furrowed and his chest tightened.
Good, heavens! This Purple Thunder Needle needed a considerable amount of materials to craft, and most of them were valuable treasures. Fortunately, their sect was large enough to be able to afford these materials; had it been a smaller sect, Lin Jin would have been asking for the impossible. Still, their sect was no longer as prosperous as before, so even if they had some valuables, it wasn’t much.
Oh, how painful this price was.
Still, no matter how hefty the sum was, it was worth it if they were able to treat Mr. Qi.
After reading the material list, Miao Yan Zhenren silently chanted a formula to steady his mind. After he felt more at peace, he went on to read the needle’s crafting method.
“Huh!” Miao Yan Zhenren’s eyes lit up at once.
This crafting method had no issues. More than that, it was so detailed to that even alternatives were provided for each step.
Capable of recognizing quality, Miao Yan Zhenren knew this method wasn’t created by any average person.
He was very impressed by what he read.
“Taoist Lin, this crafting method was taught by your master, wasn’t it?”

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
