Chapter 524: Subdue the Dan Beast and Continue the Exploration

"Haha, this little guy has a pretty picky taste. However, if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to afford it." Seeing Xiao Ling throwing out sixth-grade pills one after another like throwing beans to feed the little beast, the Little Medical Fairy couldn't help but joked.

You know, these pills are rare and priceless in the outside world, but now, Xiao Ling is using them as feed.

If Xiao Ling's family was not wealthy and he did not care about these pills at all, if it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to afford such consumption.

If an outsider saw this scene, he would probably be extremely envious, and even willing to give up his human identity and transform himself into this little beast.

"The Pill Beast was originally transformed from high-level pills, so it naturally relies on devouring various pills to improve its own strength. Although it can also absorb other things, the effect is not as direct as that of pills."

Xiao Ling chuckled and responded casually.

As he spoke, Xiao Ling stretched out a hand with a little joy and gently touched the slightly fluffy head of the white animal. He felt warmth in his hand, and the touch was surprisingly good.

The little white beast, which was lowering its head to eat the elixir, felt the touch coming from above its head and subconsciously shrank its neck.

However, when it saw Xiao Ling's kind and gentle smile, its vigilance was somewhat relieved.

When it thought that the pills it was taking were all given by the person in front of it, it was not so resistant anymore. It even raised its head obediently and rubbed Xiao Ling's palm. It looked so cute and adorable.

Zi Yan and the other two girls standing beside Xiao Ling couldn't help but light up their eyes when they saw how well-behaved and cute the little white beast was.

After all, this kind of soft and cute creature is extremely attractive to girls.

Even Medusa and Little Medical Fairy, who usually have rather aloof personalities, couldn't help but feel touched when they saw the cute look of the little beast. It seemed as if a soft touch was quietly touched in their hearts, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on their faces, which was difficult to show in front of outsiders.

Not long after, all the pills that Xiao Ling had taken out earlier were eaten up by the little white beast.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling reached out his hand without hesitation. While the little white beast had not yet come to its senses, he quickly put his hands through its armpits, exerted a little force and lifted it up easily from the ground.

The little white animal didn't understand what was happening at first, but when it realized that its body was out of control, it subconsciously twisted its body.

The eyes that were originally filled with joy were now filled with a hint of confusion and fear.

After all, it was the person in front of it who gave it delicious food, so it temporarily let down its vigilance and expressed some goodwill to the other party.

However, the current situation made it feel extremely uneasy and it immediately felt fear, which was inevitable.

"Hehe, don't be afraid, little guy. We are not bad people." Xiao Ling seemed to have sensed what the little beast was thinking. He smiled softly.

"From now on, you can just follow us. You've been in this ruins for so many years, you must be bored by now. I can take you to the outside world and make you some delicious pills from time to time."

"As a reward for the benefits I received, I only need to draw a little of your blood occasionally. It won't have much effect on you anyway."

When he first saw it, Xiao Ling was very satisfied with the spirituality of this pill beast. Its spirituality was even more abundant than the Nine-Colored Reincarnation Soul-Shaping Pill that Xiao Ling had refined at the alchemy conference before. Judging from its posture, it was not far from the realm of ninth-grade elixir.

Xiao Ling pondered that it must be that this Dan beast had been born with intelligence for quite a long time. After so many years, its spirituality must have grown greatly.

After forming the Dan beast, its medicinal power was completely restrained. At least from the surface, there was nothing special about it. Moreover, it was able to continue to become stronger through cultivation. The ancestor of Danta was such a person. He possessed the strength of a six-star Dou Sheng, and even the Lord of the Soul Palace had to be wary of him.

It would be such a waste if we eat this Dan beast that is about to break through to the ninth level now. Only if we keep it by our side and train it well can we bring out its true value.

When the Dan Beast heard Xiao Ling say that he would not eat it, the fear on its round little face suddenly diminished a lot. But then it heard that its blood would be drawn, and its face instantly became hopeless. It looked as if it had encountered the most tragic thing in the world, and it looked somewhat pitiful and funny.

Don't be fooled by its cute appearance, but it is not stupid. Although it will not be eaten, having its blood drawn is extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, for a Dan beast like it, bleeding is not just a simple loss of blood, it is more like the energy in the body is being drained away bit by bit. Just thinking about that feeling of emptiness makes it tremble in its heart.

"Okay, okay, stop looking so hopeless."

"You are just being ungrateful. You should know how many people want to be with me but don't have the opportunity. You are lucky to be treated like this."

Xiao Ling said this with a smile as he reached out and gently rubbed the chin of the little white animal. That action was like teasing a cute kitten, full of doting.

After saying that, Xiao Ling chuckled slightly, then stretched out his hand and firmly grasped the back of the white animal's neck. His movements were gentle but with a force that left no room for escape. Then he gently placed it in the arms of Zi Yan, who had been waiting eagerly for it.

After Zi Yan happily took the Dan beast, this scene instantly attracted the rest of the people.

"Little guy, from now on you can just call me Sister Zi Yan." Zi Yan said with a smile as she gently stroked the fluffy fur of the Dan Beast.

"This one is your sister Medusa. She looks cold, but she is actually very kind. And this one is your sister Xiao Yixian. She is very good at poison and is also a seventh-grade alchemist. Oh, by the way, this one is your sister Qinglin. She is the youngest, but she is very powerful. She also carries a lot of eighth-grade snake monsters with her..."

I saw four women surrounding the Dan beast, praising its cuteness one after another. Their hands were not idle, and they started to knead the Dan beast. The soft and furry touch made them love it.

Poor Dan beast, being treated like this, soon showed an expression of wanting to cry but not being able to, and his little eyes were full of helplessness and grievance, but he couldn't break free and could only let them do whatever they wanted.

Several people were pinching the dough with great enthusiasm when Zi Yan suddenly seemed to remember something and subconsciously wiped the saliva that was about to flow from the corner of her mouth. She looked both funny and a bit greedy.

When the Dan beast heard this, it was immediately frightened and showed a horrified expression. Its originally round eyes were full of fear, and its small body began to twist desperately, struggling to get into Qinglin's arms. "Oh, sorry, sorry, little guy." Zi Yan scratched her head with an embarrassed and playful smile on her face, "The fragrance of the elixir on your body is really too strong, making me feel a little greedy, hehe."

After saying that, Zi Yan joked without any embarrassment, then she took out another pill bottle with swift movements, reached out and grabbed a handful of pills, and stuffed them into her mouth without hesitation.

A few of them chatted and joked for a while, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

During the process of chatting and interacting with each other, the little white animal gradually relaxed and became very well-behaved and honest.

It just lay quietly on Zi Yan's shoulder, its eyes half-closed, and seemed very comfortable, completely losing its previous desire to escape.

On the one hand, it can sense through its own perception that the strength of each of these people is very extraordinary.

It also knew that if it really wanted to escape, not to mention whether it could escape successfully, if it failed, it would probably suffer a painful beating after being caught.

But if you follow these people obediently, you might be able to eat some delicious pills often in the future.

After all, that person was so generous before, and he will definitely not be too bad in the future. If I follow them, I am sure I will have a lot of "good food".

The most important thing is that it can truly feel the kindness these people show towards it, which makes it feel particularly at ease.

It was precisely because of this kindness that it was able to completely calm down and finally choose to follow these people willingly.

……

After collecting all the pills in the pill area, Xiao Ling and his companions set off for the study room located one floor away.

They walked without stopping, and soon they successfully arrived at the study, and then stepped into the study.

As you step into the study, an ancient yet elegant atmosphere hits you.

The surrounding walls seemed to be coated with a layer of golden color by the years. Under the faint light emitted by the moonstones around, they emitted a soft halo, showing the glory and extraordinaryness of the past.

However, what is amazing is that everything in the house appears to be exceptionally tidy, the tables and chairs are neatly placed, and the books on the bookshelves are neatly arranged, as if time has stopped here, and not a speck of dust or clutter has polluted this place.

However, if you look closely, you can still find some traces in this room.

There were several sets of footprints on the ground. The outline of the footprints was a little blurry, but it was still clear that someone had walked here.

In addition, there are several overturned pill bottles scattered randomly in the corner, which seem particularly abrupt compared to the overall neat and seemingly unpolluted environment.

Xiao Ling and his companions thought about it for a while, and immediately realized that these were obviously the "masterpieces" of the little Dan beast. Thinking of this, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, and their faces were full of helplessness and amusement.

Of course, they didn't take these trivial matters too seriously at all.

After entering the room, without Xiao Ling giving any specific instructions, everyone dispersed tacitly and began to look around the room, not missing any corner, hoping to find valuable items there.

Xiao Ling first took a quick look at the overall layout of the room. With just a few quick glances, he locked onto the target with his keen intuition, and then walked quickly towards a row of wooden shelves without hesitation.

He had a strong feeling that the collected goodies displayed on the wooden shelf must be the most precious items in the entire place.

Xiao Ling stood in front of the bookshelf, then reached out and carefully took down the wooden boxes one by one.

The surfaces of those wooden boxes did not have many obvious marks due to the silent passage of time.

If you think about it carefully, the raw materials used when these wooden boxes were made must have been extraordinary, and must have been extremely tough and of high quality, so that the boxes can still be basically preserved intact after so many years.

Xiao Ling then opened the wooden boxes one by one, his movements gentle yet somewhat impatient.

Then, he emptied his mind, focused his attention, and began to carefully read the various contents recorded in it one by one.

After a moment of silence, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in Xiao Ling's eyes. It turned out that these wooden boxes contained many ancient medicine recipes, manuscripts and annotations.

These are the results of the owner of the ruins' countless efforts and careful creation. Their preciousness is self-evident. At this moment, they are presented to Xiao Ling without reservation.

What surprised Xiao Ling even more was that he actually found a recipe for a ninth-grade elixir in it. Although it was only a recipe for a precious elixir, its value was self-evident.

"The owner of this relic must have been a very high-ranking alchemist when he was alive. From these precious recipes, manuscripts, and annotations, we can see his extraordinary qualities. This harvest is really a bit unexpected."

Xiao Ling carefully looked through the scrolls covered with neat handwriting. His hands were unconsciously clenched, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly curl up, his eyes and brows were filled with uncontrollable joy and anticipation.

He had a hunch in his heart that after he had read all the records above and integrated the knowledge, he would go and consult with Yao Lao and discuss the knowledge about alchemy.

I believe that once my soul realm breaks through the heavenly realm, I will be able to successfully refine the ninth-grade elixir.
