Bab 92: Chapter 92: Eight Pills!
"Leave it to me, don't worry!" Zi Yan said, thumping her chest earnestly, not grasping the deeper implications behind Jiang Yun's words. After all, who could have imagined that this little beast, who had to fight magical beasts for food since childhood, was actually the princess of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan?
Even Zi Yan herself only believed that she possessed the bloodline of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan, never considering that her bloodline was so noble.
Nevertheless, faced with Jiang Yun's teasing statement, she earnestly made her promise.
Seeing this, the softness in Jiang Yun's eyes intensified. He turned his head to look in the direction of the valley and said softly, "We've been out for several days. It's time to go back, or else I'm afraid Qing Lin and Little Doctor Immortal will be anxious."
"Then let's hurry back!" Zi Yan said, turning and pulling Jiang Yun's hand as they flew towards the valley.
In the valley, the Little Doctor Immortal and Qing Lin had just finished absorbing the Earth Core Tempering Milk and were absent-mindedly training while looking at the books in their hands.
"Bai Ya, why haven't Brother Jiang Yun and Sister Zi Yan come back yet?" Qing Lin couldn't help but ask Bai Ya, who was carefully coiled nearby.
"Did something happen to them? No way, Brother Jiang Yun and Sister Zi Yan are so powerful. What magical beasts in the Magic Beast Mountain Range could possibly threaten them?" Bai Ya shuddered internally upon seeing his mistress worrying unnecessarily, feeling trapped between a rock and a hard place.
"Little Doctor Immortal, should we...?" Qing Lin, unable to resist, turned to the Little Doctor Immortal with worried eyes.
"No!" Unfortunately, Qing Lin's suggestion was met with a firm rejection from the Little Doctor Immortal. Seeing Qing Lin's disappointed face, she felt a surge of guilt and explained, "Qing Lin, you know Jiang Yun and Zi Yan's strength. There's no existence in the Magic Beast Mountain Range that can threaten them."
"They should be back soon. If we go out on our own and they come back to find us missing, wouldn't that just add to the trouble?"
"Alright then!" After Little Doctor Immortal's explanation, Qing Lin thought it through and sat again, gazing blankly into the distance.
"Qing Lin, your Sister Little Doctor Immortal is right. Next time something happens, you mustn't act rashly!" Suddenly, a familiar voice came, and the next moment, familiar hands fell on her head. Qing Lin looked up in surprise to see Jiang Yun and Zi Yan standing behind her, smiling.
"Brother Jiang Yun!" Qing Lin leaped joyfully into Jiang Yun's embrace.
Jiang Yun rubbed her head and then looked at the equally joyful but more restrained Little Doctor Immortal, smiling as he said, "Not bad, your Dou Qi is already complete. This time, we're lucky to have gathered the necessary ingredients for the pill I need to refine. Thus, we can start addressing your constitution issue."
In Jiang Yun's plan, tackling Little Doctor Immortal's constitution issue before her attribute manifests was the best way. Therefore, the Earth Core Tempering Milk mixture he prepared for her focused on cleansing and strengthening her constitution, with power enhancement being secondary.
"Really?" Upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, Little Doctor Immortal couldn't contain her joy. Solving the Eradicating Poison Constitution had been a burden on her heart, and resolving it sooner would be really good.
"I'll start right away!" With that, Jiang Yun flew towards an open space.
On a huge rock in the clearing, Jiang Yun sat cross-legged, with his eyes tightly closed.
At this moment, he needed to adjust his Dou Qi and soul to their optimal states while recalling the techniques and precautions for refining the Pellet of Bone Regeneration and Blood Integration.
Yes, the Pellet of Bone Regeneration and Blood Integration!
Though this pill seemed like a resurrection pill in the original work, it was fundamentally a top-tier healing pill, capable of bringing back the dead and regenerating flesh as long as there was a breath left.
To help solve Little Doctor Immortal's constitution problem, Jiang Yun needed a top-tier healing pill.
While this pill was essentially a seventh-tier pill, it was spiritual enough to upgrade to eighth-tier.
Among Yao Chen's stored pills, there weren't higher-tier healing pills, but Jiang Yun chose this Pellet of Bone Regeneration and Blood Integration because the ingredients were relatively simple and effective.
As the sky lightened, Jiang Yun exhaled a breath of foul air and slowly opened his dazzling eyes. Taking a glance at the three prepared and alert figures nearby, Jiang Yun nodded. Without words, Zi Yan understood and continuously remained vigilant to ensure Jiang Yun remained undisturbed.
Jiang Yun withdrew his gaze, raised his hand, and a bright light flashed from his ring, producing a giant cauldron engraved with the image of ten thousand beasts charging. It landed with a heavy thud.
Though he already possessed the Black Demon Cauldron, both gave him a similar feeling, so Jiang Yun opted for the more impressive Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron.
Moreover, if he used the Black Demon Cauldron, his identity might lead to trouble later. Hence, it was better to stick with the familiar Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron.
Next, one jade box after another containing medicinal ingredients floated out, suspended around Jiang Yun under the wrap of Dou Qi.
At a glance, there were probably hundreds of ingredients. The required medicinal materials for a pill of over the seventh tier were often numerous and costly.
This process demanded high soul control skills. If one's soul control was inadequate, they might get dizzy just looking at so many ingredients, let alone refining them into a pill.
After taking out the ingredients, white flames emerged and were thrown into the cauldron by Jiang Yun, making the temperature around it rise quickly.
As the flames burned, the images of ten thousand beasts on the cauldron's surface seemed to come alive, emitting deafening roars full of ferocity.
The soul force exuding a faint spiritual fluctuation emerged from Jiang Yun's forehead. The originally vibrant greenery on the ground seemed to intensify, with countless weeds glowing faintly and spreading rapidly.
Deeper underground, seeds buried in the soil sprouted vigorously under the influence of this spiritual fluctuation, showing a strong vitality.
The continuous influx of soul power into the cauldron controlled the white flames' temperature and sensed the changes within the cauldron. After roughly ten minutes, a jade box floated into Jiang Yun's hand under an attracting force summoned by his turned palm. He opened it to reveal a Blood Essence Demon Fruit inside.
With a glance at the Blood Essence Demon Fruit, he flicked it into the cauldron, where it was swiftly enveloped by white flames.
As the flames licked it, the fruit emitted a faint blood-red glow, resisting the scorching fire.
However, it was just an ingredient. Despite its extraordinary nature, under the relentless burning of the Undying Saint Flame, the fruit shriveled after holding out for a quarter of an hour, releasing a hazy blood cloud.
Finally, a viscous blood-red liquid that carried pure energy condensed, while the remaining fruit residue turned to ash under the flames.
Unbeknownst to them, day turned to night and then day again, as one entire day and night passed during this process.
By this time, no medicinal ingredients surrounded Jiang Yun. Even he felt a trace of fatigue during the refinement, but his advanced soul cultivation method helped him quickly recover the consumed soul power, maintaining balance. Thus, he still appeared vigorous despite refining for a full day and night.
Jiang Yun stretched out his palm, softly lifting it as his Dou Qi flowed. The surrounding jade bottles trembled and, opening, released their contents—a mass of medicinal liquids and powders enveloped in white flames.
Under Jiang Yun's consistent nurturing with flames, these medicinal essences had reached their best state, making it the prime time for blending into a pill.
With a gentle wave of his sleeve, a breeze swept out, guiding the medical essences floating around him into the cauldron one by one.
The surging white flames quickly covered and managed all the essences, creating a vast starry sea where hundreds of ingredients attracted and repelled each other, emitting pure medicinal energy.
Focusing intently, Jiang Yun's soul power filled every corner of the cauldron, making the medicinal essences shine brightly.
Forming a sign with his hand, soul power started pouring rapidly into the cauldron as Jiang Yun firmly shouted, "Congeal—"
With his command, the churning white flames inside the cauldron induced a flame vortex, driving the medicinal liquids and powders towards each other.
Boom—
Intense pure medicinal energy clashed, creating ripples that caused the white flames to waver, their backflash hitting the cauldron walls.
The trembling Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron endured every collision, with each ripple as strong as a blow from a Dou Emperor.
The power contained in an eighth-tier pill was indeed remarkable!
However, to stabilize the cauldron's contents, Jiang Yun's soul power rapidly intervened, guiding the medicinal energies' fusion, preventing their scattering after collisions.
Under Jiang Yun's soul power guidance, the fierce clashes among the medicinal essences gradually subsided, with soul power infiltrating them like lubricants, enabling their integration.
"Gather spirit!"
As the medicinal liquids began blending, a delicate spirit-gathering array formed in Jiang Yun's palm, covering the cauldron.
In this precise manner, invisible spiritual energy from the surroundings compressed into the pill within!
This was Jiang Yun's unique technique to enhance pill quality!
With the pill's fusion and the continuous boost in spiritual energy, Jiang Yun once again fell silent.
Refining pills is a long process, especially higher-tier ones requiring meticulous and lengthy nurturing phases.
Thus, Jiang Yun faced a prolonged challenge again!
Zi Yan stood quietly on a vantage point in the valley, her eyes softly on the closed-eyes, cross-legged Jiang Yun. Occasionally, her sharp gaze swept the surrounding Magic Beast Mountain Range.
The magical beasts within hundreds of miles sensed an inner dread, not daring to approach the mist-shrouded valley.
Qing Lin, riding Bai Ya, also on guard nearby!
Only Little Doctor Immortal observed Jiang Yun meticulously, aspirational towards alchemy. Despite not understanding much, her curiosity remained unhampered, watching Jiang Yun refine the eighth-tier pill closely.
Days ebbed and flowed, with time drifting like water unknowingly passing by.
Three days later!
A cauldron floated mid-air, with white flames inside rolling like waves. Within, a marble-sized, smooth pill faintly visible—this Pellet of Bone Regeneration and Blood Integration was formed, ready to emerge.
At that moment, the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron suddenly trembled, emitting a clear "buzzing" sound.
As the cauldron buzzed, a thick medicinal fragrance burst out like a volcano, visibly from a dark-red pill within.
With the surge of medicinal fragrance, wind howled, clouds swirled, and the power of heaven and earth converged from the surroundings like waves.
Heavy dark clouds covered the sky, dimming even the sun, pressing down over the valley.
Booming thunder roared as the clouds churned, revealing red, blue, and purple colors gradually!
"Three-colored pill lightning, huh?" Jiang Yun murmured, looking at the pill lightning above.
Zi Yan straightened, her gaze on the clouded sky, sensing the vast power it wielded. "This pill lightning is terrifying. So this is an eighth-tier pill?" Feeling its daunting threat, Zi Yan spoke in a low tone. "Damn, my strength is still lacking, it's hard to keep up!"
Nonetheless, she resolutely mobilized her Dou Qi, preparing to act if necessary.
"Colored pill lightning! Master Jiang is truly an eighth-tier alchemist!" Bai Ya marveled at the sky's imposing pill lightning, and the faint dark-red pill in the light column.
"Of course! Brother Jiang Yun never lies!" Qing Lin, displeased, lightly kicked Bai Ya.
"Zi Yan, watch over Little Doctor Immortal and Qing Lin. I have plans for this pill lightning!" Spotting Zi Yan's eagerness, Jiang Yun turned to the others with a confident smile and spoke loudly.
Given Zi Yan's current strength, she couldn't withstand this eighth-tier pill lightning, and Jiang Yun wasn't willing to waste such a rare burst of powerful energy either.
Boom!
At this moment, a massive roar resounded, lightning swirling as a three-colored bolt plummeted like a serpent from the clouds, targeting the dark-red pill.
"Bring it on—"
