Vol 3. Chapter 95: Ingested Pill
The Dragonblood Carp's abnormality quickly drew the spiritual senses of the Three Great Pill Sovereigns.
Forget the average audience—even alchemy grandmasters deeply familiar with exotic flas found themselves puzzled.
"Is that... really just the Heavenly Thunder Fla?"
The quality of the fla was terrifying. Maybe it hadn’t reached the level of Immortal Fire yet, but just judging by this Heavenly Thunder Fla alone, they could conclude one thing:
This Dragonblood Carp, in the Core Formation Stage, was absolutely an unstoppable force.
It could incinerate techniques with a single blaze—burning all divine abilities to ash.
"Unless...?" The Creation Pill Sovereign frowned—but before he could finish his thought, Lin Jing spoke slowly, under the furious stares of all the alchemists whose pill refinent had been disrupted.
"Apologies—my pet beast possesses the bloodline of a Fla-Attribute Rare Beast, so its flas are naturally overwhelming..."
"If you're worried about interference, feel free to continue once we're done."
His words sent shockwaves through the crowd.
Even more shocking than the appearance of the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor.
In an instant, countless alchemists turned green with envy.
"What?!"
"That carp... it's a Rare Beast?!"
"And it has a Fla-Type Rare Beast Divine Ability?!"
Rare Beasts were the definition of rare.
For comparison—among human cultivators, only those with Immortal Physiques could rival Rare Beast bloodlines in rarity.
Now, hearing that Lin Jing had actually contracted a fla-attribute Rare Beast, jealousy flooded the faces of countless spectators.
"I knew it..."
The Creation Pill Sovereign took a deep breath—even his eyes flickered with greed.
"With a fla of this caliber… if that carp can control it perfectly, even at Core Formation Stage, it could easily refine Fifth-Tier Pills. And given the potential of a Rare Beast—once it breaks through, its pill-refining skills... might even surpass ours."
Even as he said this, the Creation Pill Sovereign quickly suppressed his desire—because right at that mont, Lin Jing’s Heavenly Demon Scroll lit up again… adding more nas.
To most human cultivators, the Longevity Body wasn’t particularly tempting.
But a fla-attribute Rare Beast pet? That was sothing else entirely.
The Creation Pill Sovereign saw the Dragonblood Carp’s potential—naturally, other powerful figures did too.
They all took a deep breath, well aware: if they could snatch this carp and make it their own pet, it would be equivalent to gaining a potential Seventh-Tier alchemist by their side.
And not just an alchemist—one with high combat power.
Within human cultivator factions, enslaving fellow humans was rare and frowned upon—seen as demonic practice.
But enslaving demonic beasts? There were countless techniques for that. The Beast Taming Art of the Beast Taming Sect, and the techniques of the Myriad Beast Sect, were just the tip of the iceberg.
So now, many powerhouses burned with a new greed—for the Dragonblood Carp.
"I want the Ice Soul Gu, and I want this carp too," said an elder from the Gu God Sect. He now understood—it was the carp that Lin Jing had used to suppress the Ice Soul Gu.
"Bullsh*t," muttered the Four-Infant Demon Lord, frowning.
"I get it now. The Longevity Body’s true trump card... isn't the pill he plans to refine."
"It’s this Dragonblood Carp—this fla-type Rare Beast!"
"Even we can see the carp’s alchemy potential—how could Tongtian Tower not see it?"
"This is a Rare Beast Bloodline... can you really be sure that the Tower Master, that alchemy fanatic, won’t take an interest in this carp? If he accepts it as a nad disciple, then as the pet’s Beast Tar, Lin Jing will almost certainly gain the tower’s protection!"
"In that case..."
"Let’s just hope the Tower Master doesn’t get involved. The Dragonblood Carp can go to Tongtian Tower—but the Longevity Body, our Yin Corpse Sect will claim, no matter what."
Those who wanted to make a move on Lin Jing now realized—this was getting complicated.
"So many more..." Lin Jing looked silently at the Heavenly Demon Scroll.
Even several Tongtian Tower alchemists were now showing interest in his Dragonblood Carp.
But everything the Nine-Infant Demon Lord had considered—these alchemists quickly figured out too.
They realized Lin Jing’s trump card was likely this Dragonblood Carp with a Rare Beast Bloodline—and that he intended to use it in exchange for the protection of Tongtian Tower.
If that was true, then Lin Jing and the carp were effectively one of their own. Once the tower's powerhouses understood this, they imdiately reined in their hostility and refocused.
"Focus on alchemy!"
At this point, of the hundred-plus participants, only a dozen or so alchemists could still control their flas.
All of them ca from powerful alchemy factions and wielded top-tier Exotic Flas—barely managing to continue refining under the oppressive pressure of the Fla Emperor Divine Ability.
The rest exhaled, preparing to start again—there was still ti, after all.
But in the next mont, as the thunderfla aura around the Dragonblood Carp expanded even more, it ford a Thunderfla Cauldron, sealing the carp within—it inevitably drew everyone's attention again.
"It swallowed the pill ingredients... turned its own body into a cauldron... this is an actual ingested pill technique?"
"Did this Longevity Body and his Rare Beast pet invent a new pill-refining thod?!"
The Dragonblood Carp’s Thunder Refining Technique was indeed unheard of—even the Three Pill Sovereigns had never witnessed this kind of “ingested pill” technique.
But then, the Dragonblood Carp lived up to every bit of their high expectations. Not long after sealing itself in the Thunderfla Cauldron, it swam within and spat out a red pill with thunderbolt patterns, straight out of the cauldron.
Though judging by its aura, the pill was only Third-Tier, the speed of refinent was staggering.
"So this was Lin Jing’s real goal? To get the Tower Master to accept his pet as a nad disciple?" The Academy’s Vice Dean was the last to realize it, cursing silently. If Lin Jing pulled this off, they wouldn’t be able to bring him back to the Ancient Celestial Kingdom.
By now, no one really cared what pill Lin Jing had refined.
Because most believed Lin Jing's true purpose in joining the Alchemy Conference was to showcase his and the Dragonblood Carp’s potential—and exchange that for protection from Tongtian Tower.
Even the Three Pill Sovereigns, at this mont, had to admit—Lin Jing’s plan had a high chance of success.
After all, Fla-Attribute Rare Beasts—there might only be one in the entire world.
The Dragonblood Carp might never surpass the Tower Master in alchemy, but it was fully capable of surpassing the rest of them. If the Tower Master had even a hint of talent-cherishing intent, Lin Jing would be safe.
What pill it was didn’t matter anymore—even if it was just so common Third-Tier pill.
If it was refined that fast, it probably wasn’t anything special...
That’s what everyone thought—
Until—BOOM!
A bolt of lightning tore through the sky.
A dense Tribulation Cloud began to gather—a Heavenly Tribulation was forming in its midst...
