The power of fate-the Emperor Auspicious Beast's power of fate.
Sure enough, nothing escaped Teacher's eyes.
The Emperor Auspicious Beast was the Soul Beast Race's hope. Di Tian cherished her deeply, and even the Scarlet King dared not act brazenly before her.
It was precisely that elusive power of fate that made the Emperor Auspicious Beast so precious. There was only one of her on the entire continent.
"Teacher, that power of fate is the reason her fortune is so powerful, isn't it?"
Lin Xiao kept walking, without revealing what he knew.
"Judging by that power of fate and how much importance that Dou Wang placed on her, she should be tied to the fate of all soul beasts."
"In other words, the Soul Beast Race's fortune rests upon her."
"We can keep fleecing... ahem... cooperating with her later."
Old Medicine spoke leisurely. Although this world's energy level was low, its connections and fortunes were terribly complicated.
First that boy, and now the Soul Beast Race.
Lin Xiao nodded thoughtfully. The Auspicious Beast probably had not yet been targeted by God King Tang San, nor had she come into contact with Huo Yuhao. The Soul Beast Race still had hope.
But it would not be long before Huo Yuhao met her. He had to lure the Auspicious Beast away before then.
Lin Xiao made up his mind. The Golden Dragon Spear could not fall into Tang San's hands. The Soul Beast Race's worth extended far beyond this little haul.
"Little fellow, find somewhere safe. I'll teach you pill refinement."
"Those ten heavenly materials and earthly treasures we just received aren't all that good, but they can still be refined into pills that heal the soul."
"You can also use the medicinal ingredients you gathered earlier to practice."
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up at Old Medicine's words. He had wanted to learn pill refinement for a long time, but had been too embarrassed to ask.
Now that Old Medicine had offered on his own, a weight was lifted from Lin Xiao's heart.
He could ask his teacher about anything he did not understand later.
Medicinal pills already existed on the Douluo Continent. The Mystic Water Pill was one example, and it was not cheap, either.
After Huo Yuhao took one, his soul power shot up, and it even improved his aptitude.
Now, with Old Medicine personally refining the pills, their effects might be far stronger than those of the Mystic Water Pill.
He just did not know whether they could awaken Electrolux.
"That's wonderful."
"By the way, Teacher, can the pills you're refining wake that gentleman?"
The gentleman Lin Xiao meant was naturally Electrolux. If he could awaken him, he would have another trump card at this stage.
"Hehe, little fellow, of course they can. But they can only wake him. Restoring his strength will require other preparations."
"These heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the Soul Beast Race are quite old, but their potency is not as good as I expected."
"If they were more potent, the finished pills would be stronger, too."
Old Medicine explained it to Lin Xiao. They could indeed awaken Electrolux.
"Teacher, as you know, this world's energy system isn't as powerful as your world's."
"Heavenly materials and earthly treasures of the same age naturally can't compare to those from your side."
The Douluo World was already a cut below, let alone the medicinal ingredients he had obtained from the Auspicious Beast. None were immortal herbs, so naturally they could not compare.
If they had been immortal herbs, their effects would definitely have been much better.
Old Medicine nodded in agreement. "That's true. They're sufficient for now."
Soon, with Old Medicine's help, Lin Xiao found a safe cave.
Inside the cave, Old Medicine's figure appeared before Lin Xiao.
"Little fellow, watch carefully and learn well."
Lin Xiao nodded earnestly, listening with utmost attention.
Old Medicine swept his sleeve, and the ten medicinal ingredients appeared before him. "Little fellow, pill refinement allows not the slightest carelessness. Heat control, breaking down the herbs, forming the pills... bestowing spirit!"
Old Medicine explained everything to Lin Xiao step by step, laying out every last detail from beginning to end.
Lin Xiao listened intently, afraid of missing any detail.
Old Medicine did not need a pill furnace to refine pills, and these simple herbs did not warrant one.
The instant the Bone Spirit Cold Flame appeared, Lin Xiao shivered. Compared to it, his martial soul was not worth even a single hair.
Under Old Medicine's delicate control, the bone white flame refined the medicinal ingredients little by little.
He formed the pills without a furnace, producing three in all. Old Medicine bestowed spirit upon each of them, strengthening their medicinal effects.
Ten medicinal ingredients yielded three pills. From their appearance, they looked rather delicious.
The three pills gave off a faint white glow. A delicate fragrance drifted out, seeping into the heart and lungs. A single whiff was enough to leave one refreshed and at ease.
"Teacher, did you refine these pills with dou qi?"
Lin Xiao asked as he stared at the pills. Their effects looked very powerful.
Old Medicine stroked his beard and nodded. "I refined them with dou qi. If I had used soul power, their effects would have been far weaker."
Lin Xiao nodded. It seemed to be just as he had thought.
"Then, Teacher, what tier are these pills?"
Old Medicine smiled. "These ingredients are all around nine hundred years old. Although they're nine hundred years old, their potency falls far short, so the pills refined from them are only second-tier."
Second-tier? That was good enough, especially for pills that worked on the soul. Presumably, their effects came from repeated purification and extraction.
Had they been heavenly materials and earthly treasures from Battle Through The Heavens, the pills would have been at least third-tier.
But could these second-tier pills awaken Electrolux?
"Teacher, isn't the tier of these pills a little too low?"
"Can they really wake that gentleman?"
Lin Xiao was somewhat doubtful. After all, Electrolux was a god. Although he was only a remnant soul now, his former strength was undeniable.
Of course, he could not compare to Old Medicine.
Old Medicine stroked his beard and smiled. "Hehe, little fellow, that's precisely why I said they could only wake him, and nothing more."
"The pills' tier is too low. They can only wake him and allow him to speak."
"He won't be able to wield any strength. Even that is only possible because he's a remnant soul. If his soul were intact, these second-tier pills would be useless."
Old Medicine explained it to Lin Xiao. They were only second-tier, but even so, their effects were beyond anything like the Mystic Water Pill.
Moreover, Old Medicine had bestowed spirit upon these pills. Their effects went without saying.
Lin Xiao understood. With Spirit Gold, Electrolux could recover.
Right, how had I forgotten about Spirit Gold? Where was the most Spirit Gold? The Star Dou Great Forest, of course!
Next time, I have to mention it to the Auspicious Beast and trade for Spirit Gold. Why didn't I think of it then?
At the time, Lin Xiao had only been thinking of using soul-restoring herbs to help Old Medicine recover, and had forgotten about Electrolux.
But now that he remembered, there was no need to worry.
He would be trading with the Auspicious Beast again anyway, so he could bring it up then. If necessary, he could exchange pills for it.
Surely the pills' effects would be enough to tempt the Auspicious Beast.
As Lin Xiao thought this, he wished he could go trade with the Auspicious Beast right away.
But he did not have that many pills, and refining pills was no simple matter even for Old Medicine.
"Little fellow, although they won't do much for that gentleman, they'll do quite a lot for you."
