Chapter 287: Ingested Medicinal Pills

The Dragon Carp’s abnormality quickly attracted the Divine Sense of the Three Great Pill Sects.

Let alone the ordinary audience, even the Alchemy Great Grandmasters, who were incredibly familiar with various Exotic Fires, were quite puzzled at this moment.

“Is it just Heavenly Thunder Flame?”

The quality of this flame was too terrifying; although it might not have reached the level of Immortal Fire yet, based on this Heavenly Thunder Flame alone, they could judge that this Dragon Carp was an absolutely invincible existence within the Core Formation stage.

It was fully capable of using one fire to extinguish ten thousand laws, burning all Divine Abilities to nothingness.

“Could it be—” The Creation Pill Sect frowned, and before he could make a judgment, Lin Jing spoke slowly under the murderous gazes of many Alchemists whose Alchemy had been affected.

“My apologies. This Pet Beast of mine possesses a fire Rare Beast Bloodline, so its flame power is domineering and peerless—”

“If you are worried about being affected, it would be best to continue after we have finished our refinement.”

Lin Jing’s words stirred up a thousand waves at the scene.

It was far more shocking than the appearance of the Sword Ancestor.

It instantly made countless Alchemists green with envy.

“What?!”

“This Dragon Carp is a Rare Beast???”

“And it even possesses a fire-attribute Rare Beast Divine Power?!”

Rare Beast was undoubtedly a synonym for rarity.

Compared to the Human Race’s cultivation Physiques, only talents at the Immortal Physique level could steadily surpass the Rare Beast Bloodline in terms of rarity. Now, hearing that Lin Jing had actually contracted a Pet Beast with a fire Rare Beast Bloodline, countless people showed expressions of jealousy.

“As expected!”

The Creation Alchemist took a deep breath, and even a trace of greed leaked from his eyes.

“With a flame of this quality, if that Dragon Carp can master it perfectly, even if it’s only in the Core Formation stage, refining a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill would be easy. Moreover, with the potential of a Rare Beast, if its Realm rises, its Alchemy attainments will only be higher than ours.”

That being said, the Creation Pill Sect immediately suppressed his greed in the next second, because at this moment, as Lin Jing revealed the Dragon Carp’s Rare Beast Bloodline, many more names appeared on Lin Jing’s Heavenly Demon Scroll.

The Longevity Physique held little attraction for most Human Race Cultivators.

However, a fire Pet Beast with a Rare Beast Bloodline was different. The Creation Alchemist could see the Dragon Carp’s potential, and other experts naturally could as well.

They took a deep breath, knowing very well that if they could take this Dragon Carp as a Pet Beast and seize it, it would be equivalent to having an Alchemist by their side who could grow to the “seventh-grade” Realm.

Furthermore, it was the kind of Pet Beast that could both perform Alchemy and possess astounding combat power.

Among Human Race forces, Spells to enslave one’s own kind were rare and would be regarded as Demonic Techniques, but Spells to enslave Yao Beasts were far too many; the Beast Taming Sect’s Beast Taming Art and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s Cultivation Techniques were just the tip of the iceberg.

Therefore, many experts now felt the flames of greed ignite within them regarding the Dragon Carp.

“I want the Ice Soul Gu, and I want this Dragon Carp too,” the Gu God Sect Elder spoke, having realized that this Dragon Carp was what Lin Jing used to suppress the Ice Soul Gu.

“The hell you will,” Nine Infant Demon Venerable frowned.

“I understand. This Longevity Physique’s true trump card doesn’t lie in what Medicinal Pill he’s going to refine later.”

“But rather in this Dragon Carp with the fire Rare Beast Bloodline!”

“If even you and I can see this Dragon Carp’s potential in the Dao of Alchemy, the Tongtian Pagoda naturally can as well.”

“This is a fire Rare Beast Bloodline—can you guarantee that the Tongtian Tower Master, that Alchemy Fanatic, won’t develop an interest in this fire Dragon Carp??? If he takes this fire Dragon Carp as a Named Disciple, then as the Dragon Carp’s Beast Master, this Longevity Physique will also likely receive the protection of the Tongtian Pagoda!!”

“In that case…”

“I only hope the Tongtian Tower Master doesn’t meddle. This Dragon Carp can be given to the Tongtian Pagoda, but this Longevity Physique, my Yin Corpse Sect…”

“…is determined to obtain it.”

Those who wanted to act against Lin Jing all felt that things had become troublesome.

“So many more people…” Lin Jing looked silently at the Heavenly Demon Scroll.

Among them, there were even quite a few Alchemists from the Tongtian Pagoda who harbored ill intent toward Lin Jing’s Dragon Carp.

However, what Nine Infant Demon Venerable could think of, these Alchemists also quickly realized.

They understood that Lin Jing’s trump card might be the fire Rare Beast Bloodline Dragon Carp—using it to trade for the Tongtian Pagoda’s protection.

If that were the case, Lin Jing and the Dragon Carp would be one of their own. After the experts of the Tongtian Pagoda realized this, they no longer dared to harbor further ill intent and immediately calmed their minds.

“Focus on Alchemy!!!”

At this moment, among the hundreds of contestants, only a dozen or so Alchemists could still successfully control their flames. Every one of them came from a powerful Alchemy force and possessed top-tier Exotic Fires, which allowed them to barely continue Alchemy under the influence of the Yan Emperor Divine Power.

The other Alchemists let out a breath and planned to try again; after all, there was still time!

However, in the next moment, as the power of thunder and flame on the Dragon Carp’s body spread further, forming a Thunder-Flame Pill Furnace that sealed it within, it inevitably attracted the attention of these Alchemists again.

“Swallowing the Alchemy Materials into its own belly, then transforming fire into a cauldron and entering the cauldron itself—what kind of Alchemy technique is this?”

“Is this an Alchemy technique created by this Longevity Physique and this fire Rare Beast?”

The Dragon Carp’s Thunder Refinement Method was indeed novel; even the Three Great Pill Sects had never seen this kind of “Ingested Medicinal Pill.”

Subsequently, the Dragon Carp fully lived up to the high evaluation of the Three Great Pill Sects. Not long after the thunder-flame transformed into a cauldron, a red Medicinal Pill with lightning patterns was spat out by the Dragon Carp swimming in the cauldron, emerging from the Pill Furnace.

Although judging by the fluctuations, this Medicinal Pill was only third-grade, a very low grade, the speed of its refinement was still shocking.

“So this was Lin Jing’s ultimate goal?? He wants the Tongtian Tower Master to take his Pet Beast as a Named Disciple!” The Vice President of the Academy was the slowest to react and thought to himself that things were looking bad; if Lin Jing really succeeded, it would be impossible to bring him back to the Ancient Kingdom.

At this point, no one actually cared what kind of pill Lin Jing and the others were refining anymore.

Because most people already believed that Lin Jing’s purpose in participating in the Pill Convention was to showcase his and the Dragon Carp’s potential in the Dao of Alchemy to trade for the Tongtian Pagoda’s protection.

Even the Three Great Pill Sects could not deny at this moment that Lin Jing’s scheme had a high probability of success.

After all, a fire Rare Beast might be the only one in the world. Although this Dragon Carp’s achievements in the Dao of Alchemy would certainly not exceed the Tongtian Tower Master’s, surpassing them was not impossible. In this way, as long as the Tower Master developed an appreciation for talent, Lin Jing would be safe. What this pill was no longer mattered; even if it was a common third-grade Medicinal Pill, it wouldn’t matter.

A pill refined so quickly was likely not very powerful—

Originally, that was what everyone thought.

Until, with a “boom,” a bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, dense tribulation clouds gathered, and a Heavenly Tribulation brewed within them—
