Vol 3 Chapter 68: Testing the Pills
A few more days passed.
During his cultivation, Lin Jing sensed that Dragon Carp had successfully refined the four types of Treant Pills. anwhile, the clone he had sent out to capture beasts had also returned with its spoils.
Once the swarm of mosquitoes had settled back in place, the clone set out in search of the Blazing Sun Demon King. After so effort, it finally located the target and successfully poisoned him using illusions and venom.
Everything unfolded just as Lin Jing had planned. Under the combined effects of various poison pills, Ice Soul Gu poison, and countless suicidal mosquito attacks, it took less than a month for the Tiger King's yang energy to weaken significantly, leaving him unable to resist the miasma.
Thus, the ga of "mosquitoes hunting a tiger" ca to an end.
With the materials from the mosquitoes, poison frogs, poison flood dragon, and the Tiger King now gathered, Lin Jing had everything needed to test the Myriad Flas Cauldron and start refining pills.
.............
"Good work."
Lin Jing took the two Myriad Beast Circles from his clone, which then slowly dissipated, reverting into a wooden puppet. Since the puppet's life force wasn't completely drained, it seed like he could use it again later.
Inside the Myriad Beast Circles, one was filled with a swarm of mosquitoes, while the other held three severely weakened demon beasts.
Lin Jing summoned Dragon Carp and placed the four beasts—whose intelligence had been wiped—before it.
"We've got beasts ranging from the Qi Refinent stage to the Demon King realm. Try refining them with the Myriad Flas Cauldron."
"Bo!!!"
Dragon Carp paid no attention to the other three beasts but instead stared at the mosquitoes with excitent, as if reuniting with old friends.
"That's right, I brought them back." Lin Jing chuckled.
"Once this is done, you'll have as many Longevity Blood Mosquitoes as you want. Alright, let's start refining. Afterward, I'll head over to Crane Cauldron to capture a few trial beasts to test the effects of the four Treant Pills..."
Mosquito beasts had a special bloodline that made them unsuitable for testing pills—Lin Jing had tried before. Otherwise, he would have used them directly.
"Also, grab a few normal 'Rising Origin Pills' so we can compare the effects of the two different types of pills on cultivation advancent!"
As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, Dragon Carp let out a "Bo!" It had been eager to test the Myriad Flas Cauldron’s ability ever since it gained its Monster Core divine ability.
Its fish eyes locked onto the beasts, and as its red monster core spun, a massive cauldron, entirely made of flas, materialized in the void before them. The cauldron spanned over ten ters in length, width, and height, its interior resembling a swirling vortex of fire. The mont Dragon Carp's monster core developed fine cracks, a terrifying suction force erupted from within the cauldron, instantly absorbing all four demon beasts of different cultivation levels.
Even Lin Jing himself felt an imnse pull, his body montarily unsteady.
"Holy sh*t, that suction is intense! Feels like it's about to pull in too. Dragon Carp, did you do that on purpose, or was it an accident?" Lin Jing, feeling the overwhelming force of the Myriad Flas Cauldron firsthand, quickly activated his protective mana and retreated several steps.
"Bo?"
Dragon Carp was stunned—it had no idea! The suction must have been too strong for it to control properly.
The mosquito beast was the first to be sucked into the cauldron. Before Lin Jing could even examine it closely, a wisp of blue smoke rose from its body, and in the next mont, it had transford into a golden pill.
Judging by the fluctuations of its quality, it was a first-grade pill.
Not even a minute later, the late Foundation Establishnt stage poison frog followed suit. Blue smoke rose from its body with a soft "boop," and it turned into another golden pill—this one seemingly of second grade.
"So, a Qi Refinent beast is refined in an instant, and a Foundation Establishnt beast takes less than a minute?"
After about seven minutes, the poison flood dragon, which had just reached the early Demon Core stage, was also refined. The speed was so astonishing that even Dan Yao and Bai Biao would have found it unbelievable.
Refining an eighth-grade pill, even for soone with extrely poor skills, would take at least half a day. An experienced pill master could take several days. Yet the Myriad Flas Cauldron had refined it in re minutes.
The most heaven-defying feature of the Myriad Flas Cauldron was its ability to refine multiple living creatures simultaneously.
That ant, in theory, one could refine multiple pills at once using the sa set of ingredients.
While refining beasts from the Qi Refinent, Foundation Establishnt, and Demon Core stages was relatively fast, the process slowed significantly when it reached the Blazing Sun Demon King. The efficiency of the cauldron's refinent increased at that point, but even after half an hour, the Demon King had yet to be fully refined.
anwhile, Dragon Carp’s monster core was already approaching its limit, struggling to maintain the Myriad Flas Cauldron. Nurous cracks had ford on its core.
"Take a pill."
At Lin Jing’s reminder, Dragon Carp imdiately pulled out the high-grade spiritual pills given by Senior Sister, along with a fourth-rank spiritual plant, Nirvana Blossom, and stuffed it into its mouth to recover.
Finally, after nearly two hours, the Blazing Sun Demon King was fully refined, transford into a fourth-grade golden pill that could enhance cultivation. Judging by the dicinal fluctuations, both Lin Jing and Dragon Carp estimated that the pills produced by the Myriad Flas Cauldron were several tis more effective than their regular counterparts!
"!!!!"
"Bo!!"
As the Myriad Flas Cauldron dissipated, Dragon Carp let out a painful wail. Lin Jing examined the four golden pills of varying grades in his palm and grinned at it.
"Eat so more recovery herbs. Also, test whether the fusion of Lotus Heart Fla has any healing effects on your monster core."
"I'm heading to Crane Cauldron to get the comparison pills. You go rest first, and I'll update you once I have results."
Dragon Carp eagerly nodded before slipping into the ditation staff.
...........
Crane Cauldron.
The alchemy division under the Demon Court’s Third Holy Maiden, Xu Qingyao, specialized in researching Transformation Pills.
However, thanks to Lin Jing’s influence, Crane Cauldron had now been turned into a mass-production facility dedicated to refining "Rising Origin Pills" for Gu Qianqiu.
Disguised as a Fire Dragon Alchemist, Lin Jing flew to the Crane Cauldron’s alchemy chamber, only to be stopped by an old man.
"F-Fire Dragon Alchemist, sir! How may I assist you?"
As Xu Qingyao’s trusted subordinate, Lin Jing not only took over the position of Sparrowfeather Squad’s leader but also beca the acting head of Crane Cauldron. With his success in refining special pills, none of the alchemists there dared to disobey him.
"Dan Lao, fetch a bottle of Rising Origin Pills. Also, grab five trial pill mice."
"Yes, sir!"
The old man quickly retrieved the requested items, and Lin Jing returned to his cave dwelling.
Inside, he grabbed a Qi Refinent stage trial pill mouse and force-fed it a first-grade cultivation pill refined from a mosquito beast using the Myriad Flas Cauldron.
It wasn’t that Lin Jing doubted Dragon Carp’s abilities—he just knew that "pills are one-third poison." To be safe, he needed to ensure there were no harmful side effects before consuming one himself.
"Squeak..."
The trial pill mouse, originally at the sixth level of Qi Refinent, swallowed the pill. In the next mont, its cultivation surged—seventh level, eighth level...
However, as its cultivation rose, and under the horrified gazes of the other trial pill mice, all of its fur fell off, leaving behind a completely bald mouse.
Lin Jing: ?
"What the hell just happened?"
He imdiately called for Dragon Carp.
Dragon Carp narrowed its eyes, exuding an air of wisdom. It speculated that the phenonon might be similar to molting in certain animals—the old fur was unable to adapt to the stronger body, so it had to shed and regrow new fur to match the increased cultivation.
"A minor issue in comparison to the cultivation boost," it added.
Minor issue? How the hell was he supposed to give this to Gu Qianqiu? Was she supposed to beco a monk?!
"Are you sure this isn’t just because your Monster Core divine ability isn't proficient enough... or that you screwed up the refining process?!"
