Unusual Movement
The Medicinal Fragrance is a characteristic of successfully refining Mid-Grade Pills. Since the Medicinal Fragrance has appeared in Lin Ming's Medicinal Cauldron, Lin Ming's refining process is basically successful. All that is needed now is to nurture the pills.
The nurturing process is a step that almost no one has ever failed at, which is why Wang Sheng is now certain that Lin Ming has successfully refined the Yi Fu Beast Pill.
After a short while, Lin Ming stopped channeling his Dou Qi and sucked the pills from the Medicinal Cauldron into his palm. A fist-sized, perfectly round, dark green pill appeared in Lin Ming's hand.
Since the Yi Fu Beast Pill is for use by Magical Beasts, it's normal for it to be a bit large. After obtaining the pill, Lin Ming took out a large Jade Bottle from his Storage Ring, put the Yi Fu Beast Pill into it, and then tossed the Jade Bottle to Wang Sheng.
Seeing Lin Ming toss over the 4th Grade pill, Wang Sheng helplessly caught it, thinking to himself, "4th Grade Alchemist is so capricious, just throwing Tier 4 Medicinal Pill like that."
"Brother Wang Sheng, you'll need to deliver the pills to the employer. Refining pills all day must be tiring, so I'm going back to rest," Lin Ming said after Wang Sheng received the pills.
"Alright, Lin Ming, go back and rest!" Wang Sheng said with a smile.
Lin Ming nodded, then left the Alchemy Room. He soon returned to his room, washed up, and went to sleep.
I woke up in the afternoon.
After waking up, Lin Ming came to the Medicine Refinement Hall again, but this time Lin Ming wasn't there to help with alchemy. Others were responsible for refining the Third-Order pills in the Medicine Gang, and Lin Ming would only help refine some Tier 4 Medicinal Pill when he had free time.
Lin Ming came to the Medicine Refinement Hall to collect medicinal herbs. Before entering the Inner Academy, Lin Ming obtained a prescription for the Lightning Resistance Pill from Elder Huo.
The Lightning Resistance Pill can protect Lin Ming and greatly reduce the risks Lin Ming faces while absorbing lightning to cultivate the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique. Therefore, the Lightning Resistance Pill will be used during Lin Ming's cultivation of the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique.
Upon arriving at the Medicine Refinement Hall, Lin Ming met Wang Sheng again and followed Wang Sheng into a room.
Inside the room, Lin Ming and Wang Sheng were talking. Lin Ming told Wang Sheng about the medicinal herbs he needed to refine the Lightning Resistance Pill and asked the Medicine Gang to help collect them.
After Lin Ming asked Medicine Gang help collect the medicinal materials for Lightning Resistance Pill, Lin Ming also gave Wang Sheng 500 Fire Energy as payment for the initial collection of medicinal materials. Lin Ming would pay for any remaining amount later.
After witnessing Lin Ming's alchemy skills firsthand today, Wang Sheng realized just how terrifying Lin Ming's talent was. Therefore, Wang Sheng immediately agreed to provide the medicinal herbs Lin Ming needed.
In Wang Sheng's memory, the Medicine Gang's inventory currently only had enough medicinal materials to refine two or three batches of Lightning Resistance Pill. So Wang Sheng immediately ordered someone to fetch these medicinal materials and give them to Lin Ming.
As for the 500 Fire Energy that Lin Ming gave him, Wang Sheng did not accept them. Instead, he said that the cost of the medicinal herbs would be deducted from the profits from the Tier 4 Medicinal Pill pills that Lin Ming refined. If it was not enough later, Lin Ming could pay for it.
Lin Ming did not refuse Wang Sheng's kindness. Now that Lin Ming and Wang Sheng were both in the Medicine Gang, he could accept a little kindness from others, so that both sides could get along happily.
After waiting for a while, a member of the Medicine Gang delivered the two doses of herbs for the Lightning Resistance Pill that Lin Ming needed.
Having obtained the medicinal herbs, Lin Ming decided to start refining the Lightning Resistance Pill now, taking advantage of the remaining time.
Arriving at an Alchemy Room, Lin Ming took out the Crimson Flow Gold Cauldron, took out the medicinal materials, and began refining pills.
Lightning Resistance Pill was only a third-grade pill. Although it was Lin Ming's first time refining it, after several hours, as night fell, Lin Ming put the two Jade Bottle into his Storage Ring.
Both Jade Bottle contained a perfectly round, silver-colored pill, which was none other than the Lightning Resistance Pill.
After finishing refining the pills, it was already late at night. Lin Ming tidied up and returned to his residence. After a quick shower, he went to sleep.
Early in the morning, after getting up, Lin Ming washed up and had breakfast, he left the Medicine Gang's base and headed towards the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.
After two days of rest, the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire had completely cleared away the Fire Poison, and now Lin Ming could use the Heart Flame to accelerate his cultivation.
After arriving at the plaza near the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, Lin Ming used the Medicine Gang's exclusive passage to enter the crowd and reached almost the closest point to the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.
After waiting for some time, a bell rang out, its sound long and resonant. Shortly after the bell rang, the tightly closed gates of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower slowly opened.
Lin Ming, standing at the front, was among the first to enter the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower. This time, after entering the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, Lin Ming did not experience the Heart Flame again.
According to Lin Ming's guess, those who have entered the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower probably carry the aura of the Heart Flame, so that they will not experience the Heart Flame when they enter again, unlike the newcomers who enter for the first time.
After entering the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, Lin Ming walked straight into the depths of the tower until he reached the steps leading to the next level, where Lin Ming descended the stairs.
This time, Lin Ming chose to cultivate at the second level to ensure that the cultivation effect would be similar to the last time.
If Lin Ming were to go back to the same Cultivation Room as before, the effectiveness of his cultivation would likely be 30% lower than the first time. Five days of cultivation would only be equivalent to a little over three days of cultivation last time.
Therefore, the Cultivation Room on the first floor is no longer under Lin Ming's consideration.
Upon arriving at the second level of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, Lin Ming found that many Cultivation Room were still vacant because he had entered early.
Given the choice, one should naturally choose the Cultivation Room with the best cultivation effect. Everyone wants the best cultivation effect with the same amount of Fire Energy, and Lin Ming is no exception.
So Lin Ming is now walking towards the middle area of the second floor, looking for the Cultivation Room closest to the center that is empty.
Upon reaching the center, Lin Ming once again saw the abyss-like Black Hole. However, this time, Lin Ming did not stick his head out to explore it. He merely glanced at it before entering a nearby Cultivation Room.
The Cultivation Room Lin Ming entered was one of the few Cultivation Room closest to the middle of the second floor, so its cultivation effect was naturally one of the best among the Cultivation Room on the second floor.
After finding a suitable Cultivation Room, Lin Ming entered Cultivation Room, closed the Cultivation Room, and began his cultivation.
After the door to the Cultivation Room was closed, the Restriction on the Cultivation Room automatically activated to prevent outsiders from entering and disturbing those Cultivation Room.
Arriving at the Black Stone Platform in the center of the Cultivation Room, Lin Ming took out the Fire Crystal Card and inserted it into the groove. Lin Ming then noticed that the number on the Fire Crystal Card had decreased by two dots.
Lin Ming was aware that the second level of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower required two days' worth of Fire Energy each day, so Lin Ming didn't show any emotion.
The Fire Energy on the Fire Crystal Card was deducted. Just as Lin Ming sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state, a powerful Heart Flame mysteriously appeared not far from Lin Ming's heart, radiating intense heat.
The experienced Lin Ming remained calm and mobilized his internal Dou Qi, forming a long dragon that converged towards the Heart Flame then passed through it.
After each stream of Dou Qi passed through the Heart Flame, its volume was severely reduced, but the energy carried by the reduced Dou Qi was even more magnificent and profound than before.
In Lin Ming's perception, the training effect this time was even better than the last time. At this rate, Lin Ming was absolutely confident that he could advance to the Three Star Dou Grandmaster level in a month.
Furthermore, thanks to the pure and refined Dou Qi of the Heart Flame, Lin Ming no longer needs to worry about his cultivation level increasing too quickly and his Dou Qi becoming weak. The Heart Flame has solved this problem all at once.
The Cultivation Room was quiet; apart from Lin Ming's soft breathing, there was almost no other sound.
Rapidly increasing one's cultivation level always makes time seem to fly by; the number on the Fire Crystal Card that Lin Ming had inserted into the stone platform had already decreased by eight points.
After four days of training, Lin Ming made significant progress in his cultivation as Two Star Dou Grandmaster. Feeling the improvement in his cultivation, a smile appeared on Lin Ming's face before he immersed himself in cultivation again.
Lin Ming, who was deeply immersed in cultivation, was suddenly awakened by a tremor. Just like those who were woken from their deep sleep in his previous life, Lin Ming was filled with anger when he was jolted awake from his cultivation.
"Quick! Everyone, leave the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower!" Many people were dumbfounded upon hearing this. Their cultivation had only begun halfway through the day; leaving now would mean losing half their cultivation time.
"Anyone who remains inside the tower after half an incense stick's time will be prohibited from entering the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower for cultivation for the next six months." A powerful voice rang out at this moment.
Just as Lin Ming was about to vent his anger, he suddenly heard an old and powerful voice echoing inside the tower.
The power of that voice was the most powerful Lin Ming had ever heard so far. In an instant, Lin Ming knew that the person who made that voice was probably Su Qian, the Great Elder of the Inner Academy, who had the Dou Ancestor Cultivation.
Lin Ming certainly wouldn't dare disobey the words of the Great Elder of the Inner Academy. Moreover, judging from the current tremors of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, it was probably caused by the abnormal movement of the Fallen Heart Flame.
In the original novel, it was written that the Fallen Heart Flame finally broke through the seal several years later, a year after Xiao Yan entered the Inner Academy. The current disturbances are probably just some minor disturbances in the early stages.
Even if the Fallen Heart Flame cannot break through the seal now, if it were to break through even a small opening and spew out a burst of flame, Lin Ming, with his current cultivation level as Da Dou Shi, would definitely be in serious trouble.
For the sake of his own life, Lin Ming quickly suppressed his anger, took out the Fire Crystal Card from the stone platform, opened the door of the Cultivation Room, and without the slightest hesitation, completely followed the instructions of the Great Elder and headed out of the tower.
