Attempting Treasure Gathering with Multiple Failed Pills, Reaching the Market Again to Purchase Medicinal Herbs

Thinking this, Shen Fan immediately controlled the Fire Mosquito to come before him.

No sooner said than done! He controlled the Corpse Puppet to fly before him, and with a light flick of a small knife, the Demon Core popped out.

After wiping it clean, the fingernail-sized Demon Core radiated a scorching light.

Judging from the aura emitted by the Demon Core, it was filled with Fire Spiritual Energy containing Fire Poison.

The next moment.

Shen Fan directly crushed the Demon Core, absorbing the Fire Spiritual Energy contained within.

Then, he let out a low roar, "Red flames as guide, burn away all Yin and evil!"

At the same time, he made a hand seal and released a Fire Serpent forward.

Boom!

The Fire Serpent swelled instantly upon leaving his body, crashing against the wall with a bang, causing the restriction formation to hum.

"Boom—!"

In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, and the array of the waste pill room was activated again, forming ripples of diffusion in the hot air.

"It... it actually worked!"

Shen Fan trembled with excitement as he looked at the Fire Serpent phantom, which was over ten feet long.

Such power would force even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator to avoid its edge!

Afterward.

Shen Fan immediately refined all the Fire Mosquitoes he had captured into Corpse Puppets, then had them absorb Fire Poison, and finally killed them to extract their Demon Cores.

With this operation, Shen Fan harvested seven Demon Cores filled with Fire Poison.

This could be considered a basic guarantee for his life.

At least he had the power to protect himself when facing enemies.

Early the next morning, Shen Fan took out the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl from under his bed as usual.

Looking inside.

He saw a round pill, exuding spiritual energy, appearing in the bowl.

Seeing this, Shen Fan couldn't help but reveal a look of disappointment.

Because this pill was the one he had put in last night.

A night had passed, and there was no change at all.

Could it be that the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl had failed?

No!

This was also an experiment by Shen Fan on another function of the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl.

That was to see if using a repaired pill could produce a change in quantity.

But clearly, it had failed now.

Judging from this, things that have been strengthened or copied by the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl cannot continue to be strengthened and copied by the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl.

Therefore, if Shen Fan wanted to obtain a large number of pills through the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl.

He must learn the art of alchemy, so that.

He only needs to refine one pill, and then use the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl to copy it, and he will get a bowl full of pills.

Otherwise, using already strengthened pills cannot achieve copying.

This can be considered a mechanism of the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl to prevent vicious cycles.

After putting away the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl.

Shen Fan came to the storage room to start cleaning.

Last night, he heard something being knocked down while he was sleeping.

In the past few days, few waste pills had been dumped down from Elixir Forging Peak, which made Shen Fan a little anxious.

After rummaging through the garbage pile, Shen Fan was immediately attracted by a complete pill that had been burned into charcoal, making it impossible to see its original appearance.

"What kind of pill is this?"

Faint pill patterns were visible on the charcoal.

The pill was charred, and he couldn't smell a trace of pill fragrance, so he couldn't tell what grade the pill was.

"Who cares what it is! I'll take it!"

Shen Fan didn't hesitate to put it into his pocket.

Then, he left the storage room, opened another ordinary eating bowl, and placed it inside.

Looking at it, the broken bowl was already piled high with discarded pills.

Some were crushed into dust, others were burned into charcoal.

It was even impossible to tell which piece belonged to which pill.

Seeing these discarded pills, Shen Fan revealed an expectant look: "The ultimate experiment, it all depends on tonight!"

This was an experiment Shen Fan had been planning for days regarding the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl.

He wanted to see if a pile of discarded pills, when placed inside, would all be restored.

If it really worked, it would save him a lot of time.

After all, each use of the Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl required an entire night.

After completing his daily tasks in the discarded pill room.

Shen Fan tidied up and went out.

Today, he was going to purchase the medicinal herbs needed for preserving corpses, as described in the Nine Nether Corpse Refinement Art.

He also wanted to see if he could buy a suitable demon beast to use as a Corpse Puppet.

He only had eight low-grade Spirit Stones left, so he had to be careful with his spending.

No one would be watching him as he arrived.

So, Shen Fan didn't worry and entered the Market openly.

But who would have thought, as soon as he entered, he was targeted.

"Hey! Brother, it's you again!"

Turning his head, he saw it was Baishitong.

Baishitong narrowed his eyes, sizing up Shen Fan.

"Brother, when did you leave last time? I was going to see you off!"

"It's you!"

Shen Fan avoided the question and then said.

"Today, I've come to get some more of those herbs from last time. Can you help me buy them?"

"Of course, no problem. Same price as before. I'll have someone go and find them for you right away!"

Saying that, he called someone over to get busy.

But he himself stayed by Shen Fan's side.

"Why aren't you going?"

"Such a small matter doesn't require me to personally handle it. I'm seeing if there's anything else I can help you with, brother!"

Baishitong waved his hand and said.

"I actually do need your help with something!"

Shen Fan's eyes lit up.

"I need a Tier 1 Level 2 or 3 demon beast as a spirit pet. I don't suppose you have any connections in that area?"

"Brother, why do you think they call me Baishitong? It's because I know everything! Spirit pet, you say? Follow me!"

Before long.

Shen Fan was led by Baishitong to an area in the shantytown specifically for selling spirit pets.

Looking around, he saw cages containing Tier 1 demon beasts, some even at Tier 1 Level 7 or 8.

That was the equivalent of a Qi Refining Stage Level 7 or 8 cultivator, entering the late stage of Qi Refining.

"Take a look, Fire-tailed Fox, Azure Rock Python, pick whatever you want!"

Shen Fan immediately went forward with great interest to examine them, casually asking, "What are the prices like?"

"Different strengths, different prices. Different species, different prices as well!"

The owner saw Baishitong, greeted him, and immediately stepped forward to say.

"What about this Fire-tailed Fox?"

Shen Fan pointed to a fox with fur that was entirely red, like a ball of flame, and asked.

"This is a Tier 1 Level 3 demon beast, priced at three low-grade Spirit Stones!"

"Then what about this Crimson Flame Snake?" Shen Fan continued to ask.

He was looking at Fire-attribute Demon Beasts.

Taking them back to refine into Corpse Puppets would make them quite durable, especially in a place like the Waste Pill Chamber.

"This Crimson Flame Snake, Level 5 of the First Order, costs five low-grade Spirit Stones!"

Hearing this price, Shen Fan shook his head repeatedly.

In the end, Shen Fan chose a Fire Hound worth two low-grade Spirit Stones.

This Fire Hound, resembling a husky, seemed to have been subjected to some secret technique, as it was very well-behaved after being brought out.

The owner asked, "Brother, do you understand Beast Taming techniques?"

"I don't!" Shen Fan shook his head blankly.

"If you don't know, why are you buying a Demon Beast!"

Baishitong and the owner said immediately.

"I'm controlling it with Beast Taming techniques. If you take it back without knowing any, it will lose control and eat you!"

Hearing this, Shen Fan scratched his head awkwardly. "Taming beasts requires a specific Beast Taming technique?"

"Then do you have any dead ones here? I'll take dead ones too!"

Shen Fan asked subconsciously.

"Huh???"

Hearing this, Baishitong and the owner immediately cast strange glances at him.

Shen Fan immediately realized and quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I'm talking about Demon Cores!"

"Oh~!"

The owner nodded in understanding, then shook his head. "No, I don't!"

Just then, Baishitong's men returned with the medicinal herbs.

Seeing this, Shen Fan immediately handed over the herbs and quickly left.

Baishitong looked around, and the person beside him immediately leaned in. "Biaozi, don't lose him this time. This kid is a fat sheep!"

"Don't worry!"

Biaozi, the one from last time, immediately took his men and followed.

When they saw Shen Fan change his clothes twice before leaving the Market.

They were all stunned!

"Holy crap! No wonder we lost him last time, this guy's a sneaky bastard!"

Biaozi was completely dumbfounded!

But this time they didn't lose him. Biaozi immediately took the two people with him and followed.
