Huo Xuan intently at the Snow White Little Beast, which was also staring at him with its bright eyes. It didn't look like a pill at all.
After careful examination, the Snow White Little Beast emitted a faint fragrance of elixir, confirming that it was indeed a medicinal pill.
The pill inside this Snow White Little Beast's body is probably only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Ninth Grade Pill.
Even in the current Dou Qi Continent, there are probably no more than five people who can refine pills of this grade. Even Huo Xuan, who is hailed as a genius alchemist by the elders of his clan, is currently unable to refine one.
If it could truly be cultivated into Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, then whoever could consume this pill would undoubtedly experience a significant increase in strength, perhaps even equivalent to hundreds of years of cultivation. How many people could resist such temptation?
At this moment, Huo Xuan's eyes were filled with an undisguised fervor.
Huo Xuan really wanted to pounce on the pill and grab it, but he managed to restrain himself. This pill didn't seem to have much energy, but it was probably not something to be trifled with.
If he makes any rash moves and accidentally scares it away, without its aura as a reference, it won't be easy for Huo Xuan to find it again in such a large Pill Palace.
Looking at the Pill Beast, Huo Xuan smiled slightly, then took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring. The jade bottle contained several Sixth-Grade Pills. He took one out and threw it far away to the Pill Beast.
Catching this little guy doesn't require brute force; it's better to lure him with candy.
The pill landed gently beside the Snow White Little Beast. The beast was initially startled and quickly retreated a distance. However, when it saw that the object of its attack was a pill, it hesitated for a moment before coming closer to sniff it. As it smelled the fragrance emanating from the pill, a hint of excitement flashed in the Snow White Little Beast's bright eyes. With a flick of its pink tongue, it swept the pill into its mouth like a bean, crunched it up, and swallowed it.
After consuming a Sixth-Grade Pill, the Snow White Little Beast raised its head again, its bright eyes fixed on Huo Xuan, its pink tongue constantly sticking out like a puppy's, clearly not satisfied with its meal.
According to ancient records, Pill Beast need to eat elixirs, so using elixirs to tame these Pill Beast is the best way.
Huo Xuan poured out all the Sixth-Grade Pill from the jade bottle and flicked them all toward the Snow White Little Beast, which accepted them all without hesitation and swallowed them all.
After finishing one bottle of pills, Huo Xuan took out another bottle, this time containing Seventh Grade Pill. Regardless of the quantity, Huo Xuan flicked the pills he could pour out directly to the side of the Snow White Little Beast. As the little beast swallowed about ten Seventh Grade Pills, the wariness in its gaze towards Huo Xuan gradually decreased.
This Pill Beast had quite an appetite; a third of Huo Xuan's pills ended up in its belly. However, Huo Xuan didn't feel any pain at all about using so many pills to feed this Pill Beast. Anyway, it was already his, and if he didn't feed it now, he would have to feed it after he caught it.
This feeding lasted for a full ten minutes. After those ten minutes, the Snow White Little Beast sat up on its hind legs with satisfaction, patted its round belly with its two furry paws, and looked completely content.
"Little guy, now that you're full, I'll take you out to play." Seeing that he had finally fed the little guy, Huo Xuan waved to him, signaling him to come over.
The Snow White Little Beast glanced at Huo Xuan with its bright eyes, lifted its foot as if to walk over, but hesitated after taking just one step. It then withdrew its foot and returned to its original position, quickly taking three steps back.
Seeing this, Huo Xuan angry that he wanted to strangle the Pill Beast on the spot. After all that, even after feeding it so many pills, it was still so wary of him.
Huo Xuan knew it was time to use his trump card. If he could get the little guy to come over willingly, then he could temporarily be considered the master of this Pill Beast.
With a flick of his finger across his Storage Ring, a transparent jade bottle appeared, containing a perfectly round pill. A mist of Spiritual Qi swirled within the bottle, and the pill itself, as if possessing its own spirit, floated inside, swaying gently.
This pill is the highest quality pill in Huo Xuan's possession, and also the highest-grade pill that he can refine with his current alchemy skills. It is an Eighth Grade Pill that has attracted Six-Colored Pill Lightning.
"Little one, look at this pill, wouldn't you like to take it?"
As soon as the pill appeared, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Pill Beast. Then, it stared intently at the pill in Huo Xuan's hand. However, it seemed to still have some concerns. Although it coveted the pill in Huo Xuan's hand, it ultimately did not take a step forward.
"Little one, don't you really want to eat this pill? This is Eighth Grade Pill that has been baptized by Six-Colored Pill Lightning. It tastes much better than the pills you just ate."
As he spoke, Huo Xuan handed the bottle forward and uncorked it. The swirling mist inside the jade bottle wafted out, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance.
In the end, the Pill Beast could not resist the temptation of the Eighth Grade Pill in Huo Xuan's hand, which had been baptized by the Six-Colored Pill Lightning. It immediately sprang to the ground with its forelimbs, and its round body drew an arc in mid-air as it rushed towards Huo Xuan impatiently.
The Snow White Little Beast drew an arc in mid-air, but just as it was about to crash into Huo Xuan's arms, its body suddenly froze in mid-air, and a sudden suction force surged, directly pulling it upwards.
The sudden turn of events startled Huo Xuan for a moment, but Huo Xuan quickly recovered and his face darkened instantly. He looked up and glanced upwards, only to see a Red-Haired Old Man flash out and forcibly grab the Pill Beast in his hand.
"Little guy, where do you think you're going this time!"
The Red-Haired Old Man grabbed the Pill Beast and, ignoring its violent struggles, laughed.
"You old bastard, you're asking for it!"
Huo Xuan's face was gloomy. He flashed and appeared directly in front of the Red-Haired Old Man. He circulated his Dou Qi and, without hesitation, slapped the latter hard with a palm.
"Bang!"
Faced with Huo Xuan's fierce attack, the Red-Haired Old Man was not afraid. He turned around and struck back with his own palm. The Red-Haired Old Man's palm collided heavily with Huo Xuan's palm.
As their palms clashed, the Red-Haired Old Man was forced to retreat several steps. Looking at Huo Xuan in front of him, he felt a sense of unease. After the earlier probing, he realized that he was no match for him.
However, although he knew the other party was powerful, he absolutely could not give up on the Pill Beast. So, the Red-Haired Old Man said slowly, "I've been chasing this Pill Beast for a long time, and I happen to need one. Would you be willing to part with it and give it to me?"
"Give it to you? You're not trying to get something for nothing, are you?"
"You misunderstand, sir. I am not that kind of person. I can exchange this Pill Beast with you for other precious items."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Exchange? Sure! If you can exchange it for a pill of the same quality as this Pill Beast, or a Heavenly Tier Technique or Heavenly Tier Skill, then this Pill Beast is yours!"
Upon hearing this, the Red-Haired Old Man frowned. "The value of each of these items is no less than that of this Pill Beast. Your request is far too high. Could you perhaps reduce the price a bit?"
"Too much of a demand? Am I supposed to just give you this Pill Beast for free? If you don't have any bargaining chips, then forget it! Besides what I just mentioned, I'm not interested in anything else!"
"If you return the Pill Beast to me now, I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
