Chapter 264: Immortal Eyes Advance

“So that’s how it is.” Xu Qingyao nodded lightly.

“Naturally, I know that the cultivation conditions for the Spirit Monster Race are extremely harsh. They attract Heavenly Tribulations more easily than Yao Beasts and the Human Race. Therefore, while there are more than a dozen Dao Inquiry Stage mighty figures among the Human Race and Yao Beasts, the Spirit Monster Race hasn’t even produced one Dao Inquiry Stage cultivator yet.”

“Precisely because of this, in order to Cultivate to higher Realms, they have quite a bit of research into methods to counter Heavenly Tribulations—”

“However, the Ginseng King Clan has no dealings with the Demon Court. Instead, they are very close to the Tongtian Pagoda, considered an affiliated force of the Tongtian Pagoda.”

“Going to the Ginseng King Clan to request a Medicinal Pill may not go smoothly. After all, the Tongtian Pagoda might not wish for our Demon Court’s powerful cultivators to pass their Lightning Tribulations more easily.”

Lin Jing heard this and said, “Everyone seeks profit. As long as there are enough benefits, I believe they won’t refuse. The most important thing now is to successfully transform a Yao Beast into a human. Once there’s a successful case, Senior Sister’s position in the Demon Court will surely advance by leaps and bounds. Then, whatever you do will be much easier.”

“Before we get the Medicinal Pills from the Ginseng King Clan, I will also conduct my own research into efficient Lightning Pills.”

“Alright!” Xu Qingyao patted her chest and said, “Then I will make a trip to the Ginseng King Clan. You can continue your research.”

Lin Jing nodded.

After speaking, Senior Sister flew away, immediately planning her trip to the Ginseng King Clan to request a Medicinal Pill. As the Demon Court Saintess, and now even assisted by the Kirin Clan, going to the Ginseng King Clan to request a Medicinal Pill was indeed not an impossible task.

“Alright, now I’ll just slowly wait for Senior Sister’s Lightning Evasion Pill.” What Lin Jing should really be doing right now is finding some Spiritual Plants that can effectively increase lightning resistance and physical strength, then have the Pine Leaf Squirrel synthesize them, and then refine them into corresponding Medicinal Pills to increase the success rate of Yao Beast transformation.

However, with the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Breakthrough, he now had too many things he wanted to experiment with. The priority of this matter was directly pushed back by Lin Jing. He was too lazy to deal with it and would just wait for Senior Sister’s finished product.

First, he threw a few High-Grade Spirit Stones to the Pine Leaf Squirrel to help it recover from the consumption of synthesizing the Shapeshifting Grass. Then, Lin Jing dug up a pot of soil and placed it in front of the Pine Leaf Squirrel.

Logically, now that the Pine Leaf Squirrel had condensed a Five Elements Demon Core, the Glazed Immortal Eyes should be able to synthesize resources of other attributes, right?

This ground full of yellow soil, like the ubiquitous tree leaves, wasn’t even a first-tier resource. He wondered if the current Pine Leaf Squirrel could synthesize it.

“Squeak—” The Daoist-robed Squirrel meditated for a moment, then revived with full Origin Qi. It looked at the pot of soil Lin Jing had prepared, and its Glazed Immortal Eyes swept over it.

The next instant.

A scene that made Lin Jing’s expression quickly twist with joy occurred. The Pine Leaf Squirrel, whose own attributes had changed, indeed led to the evolution of the Glazed Immortal Eyes. This large pot of soil directly turned into a small handful of black soil!!!

【Mutated Spirit Soil: When scattered on other land, it will accelerate land pollution, making it difficult for nearby Spiritual Plants to survive.】

“Very good, very good, the familiar feeling is back.” Facing the great evolution of the Glazed Immortal Eyes, Lin Jing’s heart was excited. From now on, all Five Elements of resources—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—could be synthesized.

Although the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s combat power might still not be comparable to the Dragon Carp, its strategic value, in Lin Jing’s opinion, was completely irreplaceable.

Afterward, Lin Jing took another pot of Spirit Spring Water for the Pine Leaf Squirrel to synthesize.

【Mutated Spirit Spring: After Mortals or Yao Beasts drink it, regardless of gender, they can become pregnant.】

He then took a few pieces of Red Fire Gold, used as Pill Furnace fuel by the Crane Cauldron, for the Pine Leaf Squirrel to synthesize. This was a third-tier gold and fire dual-attribute resource, and the difficulty of synthesizing it was no less than that of the Shapeshifting Grass, a hundred times higher than synthesizing yellow soil and spring water.

However, the value of the synthesized product completely justified such laborious synthesis.

【Mutated Red Fire Gold: When tempered in Spirit Fire, after a thousand years, there is a certain probability of giving birth to sentience, turning the metal and stone into a Spirit Monster.】

“Powerful.” Lin Jing took a deep breath. In ancient times, there was a race even more special than the Yao Race and the Spirit Monster Race.

That was the existence of Spirit Monsters cultivated from mountains and rivers. For example, a stone could Cultivate into a monster, and a great mountain could become a mountain god.

However, the evolution of this race was even more difficult than that of plants becoming Spirit Monsters, so their numbers were naturally scarce. They were also completely cut off from their Legacy by the Immortal Palace during the resistance against the Immortal Palace back then.

These Glazed Immortal Eyes could not only revive the Yao Race but also help metal and stone become Spirit Monsters.

“Cultivation path successful—”

“Next, there are three more cultivation paths—”

Lin Jing looked at the panting Pine Leaf Squirrel, rubbing his chin. At this moment, it was scratching its head, looking helplessly at the many Spirit Pills Lin Jing had placed before it.

After being strengthened by the Five Elements Pill, the Pine Leaf Squirrel was able to synthesize resources of other attributes, but currently, there were still some things it couldn’t synthesize.

For example, things that had already been synthesized still couldn’t be synthesized again. Like ordinary leaves could be synthesized into red leaves, but a large number of red leaves could not be synthesized a second time.

Another example is that complex compounds cannot be synthesized. For instance, Medicinal Pills and Magic Treasures refined from different resources—the Pine Leaf Squirrel hasn’t even succeeded once with such things. Or, for example, life.

The Pine Leaf Squirrel couldn’t combine a large swarm of mosquitoes into a single one.

These ideas became increasingly outlandish the further he went, but in Lin Jing’s view, they were also directions for gradually developing the Glazed Immortal Eyes. He had successfully developed some of the Glazed Immortal Eyes’ hidden functions by helping it condense a Five Elements Demon Core. So, what methods could he use next to enable it to perform secondary synthesis, synthesize Medicinal Pills and Magic Treasures, and synthesize life??

Lin Jing didn’t have any ideas for now and could only take it one step at a time.

“Next, it’s my turn to form my Core. My cultivation has already reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and I can completely go into seclusion to Impact Golden Core Realm. However, given the previous lesson, I should first prepare a Medicinal Pill to assist in Core Formation,

and let the Ice Soul Gu form its Core with me, to avoid another several decades of Breakthrough.”

For the Ice Soul Gu’s Core Formation resources, Lin Jing was a bit worried. Although with its talent and Aptitude, it could easily form its Core just by finding an Extremely Cold Land, the Dragon Carp had five great strange fires for Core condensation, and the Pine Leaf Squirrel had countless Spiritual Plants from the Heavenly Lion Clan to forge its Perfection Cultivation Technique, combined with the Five Elements Tree-Man Pill for Core Formation. Lin Jing couldn’t show favoritism and let the Ice Soul Gu’s Core Formation resources be too meager, as this concerned the potential of its Demon Core Divine Ability.

“What the Ice Soul Gu wants most is undoubtedly Longevity Blood, but that only increases Lifespan and isn’t very useful for Core Formation.”

“Besides that, didn’t it also want to devour its own kind—”

“Gu insects have a characteristic of being able to devour each other to enhance their toxicity. Although at its current level, mutual devouring isn’t very cost-effective, it’s better than nothing. But the current Ten Unique Gu are scattered everywhere, in the hands of different powerful cultivators. Even the Gu God Sect only has three left after being plundered, making it difficult to reclaim them from their hands—” Lin Jing shrugged. Besides him, every Strange Gu owner had Void Profound combat power, so there was no way to snatch them.
