Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill
Now that the materials for reviving Elder Yao and helping Xiao Yi Xian control the poison body were all ready, Lin Ming felt much more at ease and was unwilling to delay any longer.
Looking at Xiao Yi Xian, Lin Ming said, "Xiao Yi Xian, since all the necessary items are ready, why don't I first condense Poison Pill for you to completely control the Woeful Poison Body?"
However, upon hearing this, a thoughtful expression appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful face.
She gently stroked the ancient scroll of the "Calamity Poison Scripture" in her hand, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Lin Ming, her gaze firm and clear. "Lin Ming, this Poison Scripture full of profound mysteries. Many of the methods for using poison recorded within are like the sun breaking through the clouds for me. I want to spend some time carefully studying it. If I can fully grasp its essence, not only will my control over poison power improve, but the process of condensing Poison Pill will also be smoother and more successful."
Knowing the perilous nature of the Woeful Poison Body, the condensation of the Poison Pill was a crucial step that could not be taken lightly. With this scroll that specifically explained the mysteries of poison power, Xiao Yi Xian hoped to be even more fully prepared.
Seeing the earnest look in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, Lin Ming understood. Lin Ming nodded and said gently, "Very well. Studying the scriptures and solidifying your foundation can indeed be twice as effective. Anyway, we have the materials, so there's no rush. Just focus on your studies, and if you have any questions, feel free to discuss them with me."
Xiao Yi Xian smiled, her face as radiant as melting snow, and nodded vigorously. "Yes!"
Now that Xiao Yi Xian's matter was temporarily put on hold, Lin Ming turned his attention to another crucial matter—reviving Elder Yao!
Elder Yao treated him as both a teacher and a friend, helping him in times of crisis on many occasions, and even imparting his life's work, the Five Rounds Leaving Fire Method, to him without reservation. Now that all the materials needed for his resurrection have finally been gathered, Lin Ming is already impatient to get back to work.
Without further hesitation, Lin Ming found a more spacious and secluded Courtyard. With a wave of his hand, the dark red Heavenly Cauldron Ranking Medicinal Cauldron, engraved with the pattern of roaring beasts, the Myriad Beast Cauldron, landed in the center of the courtyard with a heavy hum.
Immediately afterwards, as Lin Ming waved his sleeves repeatedly, medicinal herbs radiating immense energy and exotic Medicinal Fragrance flew out from the Storage Ring in his hand as if summoned, hovering around the Myriad Beast Cauldron. These herbs were all rare treasures, their Radiant Flow making the entire Courtyard appear magnificent.
Among them, the aroma of three medicinal herbs is the most striking:
A blood-red, heart-shaped Blood Essence Demonic Fruit, pulsating slightly, exuding a rich Qi and Blood and eerie energy;
A section of the evergreen vine, its verdant stem entwined with natural Spiritual Runes, exudes endless vitality and a boundless Ten Thousand Year Green Spirit Vine;
And that Snow Bone Ginseng, which I just obtained from Tian Shuang Zi's Storage Ring, is shaped like a golden infant and contains a strange power that fuses bones and soul!
These three main ingredients are the core of refining the Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill!
In addition, there are dozens of auxiliary medicinal materials, such as Dragon Blood Ganoderma, Bone Spirit Fruit, Nine-tailed Dragon Mallow Flower, Thousand Illusions Kalama... all of which are rare Tier 7 or even Tier 8 medicinal materials that are hard to find in the outside world. At this moment, however, they float in the air as if they were ordinary objects, emitting a rich Medicinal Fragrance and powerful energy, making the entire Quiet Room Radiant Flow and full of Spirit Qi.
Lin Ming took a deep breath, his gaze instantly becoming incredibly focused and serious. Refining a peak Tier 7 pill, which could even reach the Tier 8, was an unprecedented challenge for him! Therefore, he had to go all out!
He sat cross-legged in front of the Myriad Beast Cauldron, formed cultivation hand seals in front of his body, and slightly adjusted his breathing to bring himself to peak condition.
A moment later, Lin Ming's eyes snapped open, flashing with a sharp light, and he let out a low shout:
"Rise!"
With his palm facing upwards, he suddenly trembled, and a deep purplish-red flame burst forth from Lin Ming's palm, instantly transforming into a pillar of fire that crashed straight into the Myriad Beast Cauldron!
"Boom!"
The Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame surged into the Medicinal Cauldron, and the previously dormant Myriad Beast Cauldron seemed to be activated instantly. The Myriad Beast Relief on the cauldron seemed to come alive under the illumination of the Heavenly Flames, emitting low, roaring phantoms! The temperature inside the cauldron began to soar at an alarming rate!
Lin Ming's Soul Power surged forth like a tide, enveloping the entire interior of the Myriad Beast Cauldron and all the surrounding medicinal herbs. At this moment, the Soul Power of the High-Grade Spirit Realm demonstrated its formidable control.
Lin Ming's eyes narrowed, and his Soul Power, like the most nimble arm, picked up the first auxiliary medicine, "Dragon Blood Ganoderma," and threw it into the cauldron.
As soon as the Dragon Blood Ganoderma entered the cauldron, it was enveloped by several fine lines of fire transformed from the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame. The temperature of the flames instantly adjusted, and with a gentle yet irresistible force, began to burn and peel away the impurities on the surface of the medicinal material, extracting its essence. This process requires great patience and precision; if the temperature is too high, it will damage the medicinal properties, and if it is too low, the extraction will be impure.
Under Lin Ming High-Grade Spirit Realm Soul Power, the Dragon Blood Ganoderma withered rapidly, turning into a small ball of dark red, viscous liquid exuding the aura of True Dragon. It floated in a corner of the cauldron, spinning around and emitting a rich aura of Qi and Blood and qi.
Having successfully extracted the first herb, Lin Ming didn't stop for a moment. His Soul Power then stirred up the second and third auxiliary herbs...
The "Bone Spirit Fruit" is extracted into a milky white liquid containing a strange vitality of bones.
The "Nine-tailed Dragon Mallow Flower" transforms into nine strands of colorful flower essence with powerful fusion abilities.
"Thousand Illusions Kalama" forms a misty blue aura that has the effect of stabilizing the soul.
Each medicinal herb has completely different properties and fire resistance, so Lin Ming must constantly adjust the temperature, shape, and burning rhythm of the flames.
His Soul Power split into dozens of streams, like the most skilled conductor of a symphony orchestra, simultaneously controlling the extraction of various medicinal herbs. Throughout the process, fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead; he was highly focused and dared not be distracted in the slightest.
This is because he possesses High-Grade Spirit Realm Soul Power, coupled with his complete control over the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame, and the assistance of the Myriad Beast Cauldron, which allows him to boldly engage in multi-tasking operations. An ordinary Tier 7 or even Tier 8 Alchemist would never dare to be so arrogant and would only be able to carefully refine each plant one by one.
Time passed slowly in the silent yet tense refining process.
Inside the Myriad Beast Cauldron, flames surged, and the colorful medicinal essence increased, like stars illuminating the night sky, slowly swirling along a mysterious trajectory. The entire Courtyard was filled with a rich and refreshing Medicinal Fragrance, which even attracted the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy), forming tiny energy vortexes that converged towards the Myriad Beast Cauldron.
It took Lin Ming most of the day to refine all the auxiliary medicinal materials. Dozens of clumps of medicinal essence, each with different colors and energy properties, floated like stars inside the Myriad Beast Cauldron, arranged in a mysterious formation, emitting a breathtakingly powerful medicinal force.
After the last auxiliary medicinal herb was successfully refined into a drop of crystal-clear "Stone Marrow Spirit Liquid," sweat beaded on Lin Ming's forehead. Refining dozens of high-level medicinal herbs simultaneously consumed a tremendous amount of Soul Power and Dou Qi.
But he dared not relax in the slightest; the real challenge had only just begun!
His gaze fell upon the three main medicinal essences floating in the very center— Blood Essence Demonic Fruit, Ten Thousand Year Green Spirit Vine, and Snow Bone Ginseng!
Next comes the most crucial step – fusing the three main ingredients to lay the foundation for the Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill!
Lin Ming took a deep breath and picked up the "Ten Thousand Year Green Spirit Vine," which was as green as jade and contained a vast vitality of bone. This thing was exceptionally tough and could not be refined by ordinary flames.
With a thought, the flames of the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame within the cauldron suddenly intensified, their color deepening, and the white light of annihilation at its core becoming even more dazzling. The flames transformed into a spinning drill, slamming fiercely into the Azure Spirit Vine.
"Hiss..."
A violent clash of energy erupted as the Azure Vine struggled fiercely, emitting streaks of emerald light in resistance. However, faced with the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame, a top-ranking flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, its resistance did not last long. It began to soften slowly and was eventually refined into a fist-sized, liquid emerald-green liquid radiating boundless vitality.
Next up is the "Blood Essence Demonic Fruit." This fruit is shaped like a heart, with a deep dark red surface covered with dense, fine lines resembling human capillaries. It exudes an intense, palpitating aura of blood, along with an extremely powerful and pure Life Energy brimming with boundless vitality.
Lin Ming manipulated the flames, transforming them into the gentlest and warmest current, which softly enveloped the Blood Essence Demonic Fruit, like a mother caressing her baby. The fruit gradually melted in the warm current, turning into a strange, blood-red liquid that constantly changed shape and emitted a comforting aura.
Finally, the grand finale is the "Snow Bone Ginseng"!
With an extremely solemn expression, Lin Ming placed the golden "ginseng doll" into the cauldron. As soon Snow Bone Ginseng entered the cauldron, it emitted a faint buzzing sound, like the cry of a baby, and its surface shone brightly with golden light, attempting to resist the refinement of the foreign substance.
"Freeze!"
Lin Ming shouted, unleashing his full Soul Power. The Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame instantly contracted, transforming into an impenetrable purple-red flame furnace that completely enveloped the Snow Bone Ginseng.
The extreme heat collided violently with the boundless Vitality Energy the Snow Bone Ginseng, producing a muffled thunderous sound.
This process was extremely slow, and Lin Ming had to carefully control the heat, refining it without damaging its magical medicinal properties that fused bone and soul.
Two full hours passed before the golden light on the Snow Bone Ginseng gradually subsided and finally melted completely, forming a viscous, honey-like, and dazzlingly golden liquid with countless tiny golden bones and Soul Light points flowing inside!
The three main ingredients have been successfully extracted!
Lin Ming let out a long sigh of relief, but he dared not relax his guard in the slightest. Next came the most dangerous and crucial part—fusion!
His hand seals suddenly changed, and his Soul Power, like an invisible net, began to carefully guide the dozens of clumps of auxiliary medicinal essences, slowly moving them closer to the essences of the three main medicinal ingredients in a specific order and proportion.
"Melt!"
With a low shout from Lin Ming, the first ball of auxiliary medicine essence came into contact with a ball of main medicine essence.
"Bang!"
A faint, muffled energy rippled from within the cauldron as the two clumps of medicinal liquid violently repelled each other, their energy surging. Lin Ming immediately adjusted the flames, using a profound technique to guide and suppress the energy, forcibly blending the two together...
This is an extremely tedious and dangerous process, like dancing on the edge of a knife. Any slight mistake could lead to an imbalance of energy and the loss of all previous efforts.
Lin Ming was completely focused, his Soul Power operating at an unprecedented intensity. Beads of sweat gathered on his forehead and slid down his cheeks, but he was completely unaware of it.
Time passed again, and in the Quiet Room, only the occasional hum of energy emanating from the Medicinal Cauldron and the hissing of the flames could be heard.
After an unknown amount of time, when sunlight streamed into the Quiet Room through the window again, the dozens of scattered medicinal essences inside the Myriad Beast Cauldron had vanished. In their place was a massive energy body, roughly the size of a human head, with Chaos color, seemingly containing growing bones, wailing souls, and an endless intertwining of life and destruction!
This energy body slowly rotated, emitting a heart-pounding fluctuation, as if it were nurturing a new life!
The Pill Prototype has already appeared!
