Chapter 260: Testing the Pill

A few more days passed.

During his Cultivate period, Lin Jing sensed that Dragon Carp had successfully completed the preliminary refining of the four types of Tree-Man Pill, and the Clone he had sent out to capture Yao Beasts was now returning with the spoils of war.

After the swarm of Mosquito Beasts returned, the Clone began searching for the Blazing Sun Demon King.

It took some effort, but it finally located the target and successfully poisoned it using illusions and toxins.

Everything went according to Lin Jing’s plan.

Under the effects of a pile of poisonous Medicinal Pills and Ice Soul Gu poison, combined with the suicidal attacks of countless Mosquito Beasts, it took less than a month for the Tiger King’s Yang Qi to weaken, leaving it unable to resist the miasma.

This game of mosquitoes catching a tiger had finally come to an end.

Mosquito Beast, Poison Frog, Poison Jiao, and Tiger King—the Materials for the four Realms that Lin Jing needed had all been gathered.

Next, he could test the effects of the Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron and begin Alchemy.

“You’ve worked hard.”

After Lin Jing took the two Ten Thousand Beasts Circle from the Clone, the Clone slowly dissipated and turned back into a wooden puppet.

The life force within the wood had not yet been exhausted; it seemed it could be used again later.

Inside the Ten Thousand Beasts Circle, a swarm of mosquitoes was flying about in one ring, while three dying Yao Beasts lay in the other.

Lin Jing summoned Dragon Carp and placed the four Yao Beasts, whose consciousnesses had been wiped away, before it.

“I have Yao Beasts ranging from the Qi Training Stage to the Demon King Realm.

Use the Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron to refine them and see how it goes.”

“Bo!!!”

Dragon Carp didn’t pay attention to the other three Yao Beasts, but instead looked at the Mosquito Beasts with surprise, as if it were greeting an old friend.

“That’s right, I brought them back,” Lin Jing chuckled.

“Once this is done, there will be plenty of Longevity Blood Mosquitoes for you.

Alright, let’s start Alchemy.

After refining them, I’ll go to Crane Cauldron and catch a few test subjects to experiment with the effects of the four Tree-Man Pill—the Bloodline of the Mosquito Beasts is special and not suitable for testing pills; I had tried it before, otherwise, I would have just used them.

Also, I’ll grab a few normal’Sheng Yuan Pills’ to compare the effects of both Medicinal Pills in increasing Cultivation!”

As Lin Jing finished speaking, Dragon Carp let out a “Bo,” having long wanted to test its Demon Core Divine Ability, the Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron.

Its fish eyes narrowed, and its red Demon Core spun.

In the next instant, a giant cauldron constructed entirely of flames manifested in the Void Realm before it.

The giant cauldron was over ten meters in length, width, and height—immensely huge—with an interior like a vortex of fire.

As tiny cracks appeared on Dragon Carp’s Demon Core, a terrifying suction force emanated from within the cauldron, instantly pulling all four Yao Beasts of different Realms inside!

Even Lin Jing felt a tremendous suction force, making his footing somewhat unstable!

“Damn, what a strong suction force.

Why does it feel like it wants to suck me in too?

Dragon Carp, did you do that on purpose, or was it an accident?”

Lin Jing, having personally experienced the power of the Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron from the side, couldn’t help but protect his body with magic power and retreat repeatedly.

“Bo?”

Dragon Carp was stunned, indicating it didn’t know; it must have been because the power of the Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron was too strong, and it couldn’t control it well yet.

The Mosquito Beasts were the first to be sucked into the cauldron.

Before Lin Jing could observe closely, a wisp of green smoke emerged from them, and they turned into a golden Medicinal Pill.

Judging by the fluctuation of the grade, it should be considered a First-Grade Medicinal Pill.

Less than a minute later, the Poison Frog from the Foundation Establishment Stage (Late Stage) that had entered the Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron also saw green smoke rise from its body, and with a “pop,” it turned into a golden Medicinal Pill.

Judging by the fluctuation of the grade, it was considered Second-Grade.

“The Qi Training Stage was refined in an instant, and the Yao Beast of the Foundation Establishment Stage can also be refined into a pill in less than a minute?”

About five minutes later, the Poison Jiao of the Demon Core stage (Early Stage) also directly turned into a pill.

Such efficiency made both Lin Jing and Dragon Carp feel it was incredible.

To refine a Third-Grade Medicinal Pill, even a highly skilled Fourth-Grade Pill Master would need half a day.

For more complex Medicinal Pills, it could even take several days.

Yet, this Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron could actually refine them in a mere few minutes.

Moreover, the most Heaven-Defying aspect of this fire cauldron was that it could refine multiple different life forms simultaneously.

This was equivalent to a Pill Master refining different Medicinal Pills with different Materials all at the same time.

The refining speed for the Qi Training, Foundation Establishment, and Demon Core stage Yao Beasts was relatively fast, but when it came to the Blazing Sun Demon King, the refining efficiency on Dragon Carp’s side slowed down.

Even after half an hour, there was no sign of the Blazing Sun Demon King being refined.

Meanwhile, Dragon Carp’s Demon Core was already nearing its limit, struggling to maintain the Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron.

There were already quite a few cracks on its Demon Core.

“Eat the medicine.”

Lin Jing reminded it.

While maintaining the Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron, Dragon Carp immediately took out the Spirit Pill that the Senior Sister had previously sent for repairing the Demon Core, and shoved a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Plant, the “Nirvana Flower,” into its mouth.

In the end, after lasting about two hours, the Blazing Sun Demon King was finally refined into a pill, turning into a Fourth-Grade Golden Core that increased Cultivation.

However, judging from the medicinal power fluctuations, both Dragon Carp and Lin Jing determined that the pill refined by the Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron might have several times the effect of a normal pill with the same purpose!

“Bo!!!!”

“Bo!!”

The Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron dissipated, and Dragon Carp wailed in pain.

Lin Jing held the four Golden Cores of different grades and looked at it with a smile: “Eat more healing Spiritual Plants.

By the way, try to see how the fused Lotus Heart Fire works for repairing the Demon Core.”

“I’m going to Crane Cauldron now to get the pills for comparison.

You go back and recuperate first, and I’ll tell you once the results are out.”

Dragon Carp nodded eagerly, then burrowed into the Zen Staff.

Crane Cauldron.

The Alchemy organization under the Demon Court’s Third Holy Maiden, Xu Qingyao, which researched the Transformation Pill.

However, now, due to Lin Jing’s instigation, Crane Cauldron had turned into an assembly-line pharmaceutical factory for refining “Sheng Yuan Pills” for Gu Qianqiu.

After Lin Jing flew to the Pill Refining Room of Crane Cauldron in the identity of Fire Dragon Pill Master, he was immediately stopped by an old man.

“Fi—Fire Dragon Pill Master, is there something you need?”

As a favorite in the eyes of Xu Qingyao, besides taking over the captain position from Magpie Feather, Lin Jing had also taken over the position of person in charge of Crane Cauldron.

With the track record of those special Medicinal Pills Lin Jing had produced, none of the Pill Masters here dared to disobey.

“Is that Elder Dan?

Go and help me get a bottle of Sheng Yuan Pills, and by the way, catch five test rats for me.”

“Yes.”

The old man immediately went to retrieve the medicine.

Before long, Lin Jing obtained what he wanted and returned to his Immortal Cave.

Inside the Immortal Cave, Lin Jing first grabbed a test rat of the Qi Training Stage and stuffed it with a First-Grade Cultivation Golden Core refined from the Mosquito Beasts by the Ten Thousand Fires Cauldron.

It wasn’t that Lin Jing didn’t trust Dragon Carp’s Divine Ability, but pills were three parts poison.

For the sake of safety, he should see if this Cultivation Golden Core had any side effects so that he could eat it with peace of mind.

“Squeak—”

The Qi Training Stage (Level 6) test rat, after eating the Cultivation Golden Core, saw its Cultivation surge in the next instant—Qi Training Stage (Level 7), Qi Training Stage (Level 8)—however, as its Cultivation increased, under the horrified expressions of the other few test rats, all the fur on this test rat fell off, turning it into a bald rat.

Lin Jing:?

“What’s going on?”

Lin Jing called out Dragon Carp.

“Bo.”

Dragon Carp’s eyes narrowed, revealing a wise look.

It guessed that it might be like the molting of some animals; the existing fur couldn’t adapt to the stronger body, so it needed to shed its fur and grow new fur to adapt to the new body.

Compared to the increase in Cultivation, these were all minor issues that could be ignored.

“How is this a minor issue?

How can I give this to Gu Qianqiu to eat?

Should I make her become a nun?

Is it because your Demon Core Divine Ability proficiency isn’t enough or the Alchemy heat control is wrong!”
