Chapter 39: Refining Pills

Chapter 39: Refining Pills
When Zi Yan heard that Xiao Ling agreed to help her refine medicinal materials, she was very happy and energetic. It seemed as if there were stars shining in her eyes, which was very contagious.

Her lively eyes turned slightly, revealing a hint of cunning.

Carefully, he took out a strange-looking medicinal material from the ring. There were obvious bite marks on the surface of the medicinal material, as if it had been bitten by some creature. It exuded a faint fragrance. Upon closer inspection, it was found that the color of the medicinal material was slightly dim, as if it had lost some of its original luster. However, although it did not look perfect, it exuded a mysterious and attractive aura.

Zi Yan said with a smile: "Help me make this into delicious pills."

When Xiao Ling saw this medicinal herb, he knew what it was. It was the Tian Fei Fruit, the main ingredient for refining the Dou Ling Dan, and one of the rarer sixth-grade medicinal herbs.

Looking at the tooth mark on it, Xiao Ling's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that you chewed it?"

He casually took the Tian Fei fruit and gently placed it in the medicine cauldron that had been prepared long ago. He mobilized the beast fire in his body and continuously injected it into the bottom of the medicine cauldron. A ball of blazing beast fire instantly rose up and licked the bottom of the medicine cauldron. The temperature of the flame was extremely high, but just right. It would not burn the Tian Fei fruit, but could slowly extract the essence from it. When the essence of the medicinal materials in it turned into liquid, he casually took out a few sugar pills from the ring and threw them into the medicine cauldron, so that the taste of the pills would be better.

"This method of refining is really simple. I'm afraid any alchemist who can melt medicinal materials can make it."

Xiao Ling took out a porcelain bottle, and with a wave of his hand, several milky white pills fell into it. The energy in these pills was not neutralized, and humans could not take them directly. At the least, the potency of the medicine would be greatly damaged, and at the worst, the body would explode and die. Only a high-level blood monster like Zi Yan did not care about these problems.

Zi Yan, who was standing by, saw this and immediately flew over, took the bottle of pills from Xiao Ling's hand, opened the cork impatiently, took out a pill and threw it into her mouth.

Suddenly, a pure energy permeated the body, which increased the fighting spirit in the body. The slightly sweet taste was endless and made her feel very happy. Squinting her eyes, Zi Yan shouted excitedly: "It's delicious. I don't have to take those unpalatable pills anymore!" After that, she took out another pill and put it in her mouth, chewing it.

Xiao Ling sat nearby and watched, marveling at the powerful body of the Taixu Ancient Dragon. Such rough edible herbs were not something that humans, or even ordinary magical beasts, could digest.

"The ancient Taixu dragon is so terrifying."

Not long after, Zi Yan ate those pills like candy beans.

Patting her flat belly, Zi Yan felt that she could eat a little more, so she stared at Xiao Ling's direction with sharp eyes. Although she didn't say anything, the meaning in her eyes was very clear, "Anything more? I want to eat more."

Spreading his hands, Xiao Ling said helplessly: "If you want to eat it, just give me the herbs and I will help you refine it. If there are no herbs, I will not use my own inventory to refine pills for you. You even stole my Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill before."

Scratching her head, Zi Yan said a little embarrassedly: "Then I'll go find some herbs. When I'm hungry, I'll come to you to make medicine. What's your name? I'll find you next time if it's convenient for me."

Xiao Ling smiled and replied, "My name is Xiao Ling. I am a freshman this year and the chief alchemist of the Supreme Freedom Sect. You can go find the sect leader Lin Xiuya and join our forces. That way it will be very convenient for you to find me."

Nodding seriously, Zi Yan said, "Xiao Ling, I will remember you. I will go find that Lin Xiuya later and join your "Supreme Freedom Sect"."

After saying that, he disappeared from Xiao Ling's sight and went looking for medicinal herbs impatiently.

Watching Zi Yan's leaving, Xiao Ling shook his head.

What a lovely Chitose Lolita. …

After getting to know Zi Yan, life gradually became more interesting.

Zi Yan would come to play with Xiao Ling every day, and would bring some medicinal herbs and ask Xiao Ling to help make them into pills.

As mentioned before, Zi Yan joined the "Supreme Freedom Sect" and became the chief disciple of the "Supreme Freedom Sect".

The group of senior students in the inner courtyard were all incredulous when they heard the news.

He is the famous "King of Brute Force" in the inner courtyard. Hasn't everyone always said that this guy has a bad temper and is violent by nature?

Everyone was surprised that he would join a newly created force.

Some old students had originally planned to cause trouble for the "Supreme Freedom Sect", but now this idea has disappeared. We must not offend the fierce god "Brute Force King", otherwise we will be beaten and lie down for ten days or half a month.

With Zi Yan's joining, the development of "Supreme Freedom Sect" has entered a period of rapid development. Many students with good strength and outstanding talents have chosen to join "Supreme Freedom Sect". Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this force has established a firm foothold in the academy, and the future prospects are bright. After the strength is improved in the future, the conditions for joining may become more stringent, and it will be impossible to join.

Xiao Ling was very satisfied with this situation. Now he rarely worried about fire energy in the inner courtyard. As long as he made a few pills while practicing alchemy, he could earn a lot of fire energy.

What’s interesting is that when Zi Yan came to Xiao Ling to find her to make pills, she happened to see Xiao Xun’er feeding Likongzuo with a sixth-grade pill in Xiao Ling’s yard. She was so shocked that her jaw dropped and she was extremely envious.

It was as if a switch was triggered. Xiao Ling would often see Zi Yan pestering Xiao Xun'er for food, which really made Xiao Ling happy.

Xiao Xun'er didn't care about these pills. Feeding one is the same as feeding one, and raising two is the same as raising two. Anyway, I am the eldest lady of the ancient clan and I am domineering.

Zi Yan didn't stay around Xiao Xun'er all the time. What she ate every day was mainly the pills made by Xiao Ling for her. In Zi Yan's words, she felt that the ones made by Xiao Ling tasted better.

The days passed by one after another in such a dull manner, but the dullness was dotted with some colors.

If Xiao Ling were left to practice alone like an ascetic monk, he would definitely get bored after a long time. Having a group of like-minded friends on the road to growth is quite heartwarming.

In the inner courtyard, everyone's strength was improving at a visible speed, and all this was thanks to the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. Xiao Ling's cultivation speed was greatly improved, but as his own realm gradually improved, the difficulty of cultivation became more and more difficult, just like climbing a peak. Therefore, even with the blessing of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, it was impossible for such an absurd thing to break through a realm in a few days.

Moreover, Xiao Ling had no plan to use the drawing opportunity during this period. Before being promoted to Dou Wang, his strength was in a stable improvement period. After his body was fully developed and he had the ability to protect himself, he would use the drawing opportunity. At that time, using those treasures to go out and explore would definitely be of great help.

With his cultivation level steadily improving, Xiao Ling's alchemy skills have also greatly improved. With the increase of age, his body has developed more completely. With the help of "Taiyi Soul Absolute", his soul power has also been significantly improved. He has become more and more adept at refining pills, and his success rate is much higher than that of the elders in the inner courtyard. It's a pity that the foundation of the alchemy department of Canaan College is really not deep. Now the highest-level alchemist in the college is only the fire elder who is a fifth-grade alchemist. As Xiao Ling's own alchemy skills become more and more advanced, the college can provide less and less help, and finally he can only rely on himself to explore. Xiao Ling doesn't care about this. After all, there is a great opportunity waiting for him in the Xiao family in Wutan City. As long as he gets that opportunity, his alchemy skills will definitely improve significantly.
