Teaching Alchemy

The power of destiny—the destiny power of Ning Huang Ruoxue, the Emperor Rui Beast.

Sure enough, he could not escape Old Yao's sharp eyes.

Ning Huang Ruoxue was the hope of the soul beast race. Di Tian regarded her as precious as his own life, and even the Red King did not dare act recklessly before her.

It was precisely because of that immense power of destiny that Ning Huang Ruoxue was so noble, the only one in the entire continent.

"Old Yao, that power of destiny is exactly why she can receive such special treatment."

Lin did not deny what he knew.

"Combined with how important the Devil King considers her, she carries the fate of the entire soul beast race."

"In other words, the soul beast race's Qi Luck rests upon her."

"Then we can try to... cooperate."

Old Yao spoke slowly. Although the world's overall strength was not high, the opportunity was indeed very good.

First there was that kid, and now there was the soul beast race.

Lin fell silent in thought. The current Rui Beast had not been attacked by God King Tang San, nor had she met Huo Yuhao. The hope of the soul beast race was still there.

But it would not be long before Huo Yuhao came to the Star Dou Forest. He had to bind the Rui Beast to himself before then.

Lin made up his mind. If the Rui Beast fell into Tang San's hands, the soul beast race's value would plummet.

"Kid, find a safe place. I'll teach you alchemy."

"Those ten spiritual herbs may not be particularly good, but they can still refine some pills for restoring one's soul."

"Perfect. You can use the herbs you collected earlier to practice."

Hearing Old Yao's words, Lin's eyes lit up. He had long wanted to learn alchemy, but had been too embarrassed to ask.

Now that Old Yao had brought it up himself, one of Lin's worries was resolved.

If there was anything he did not understand later, he could ask Old Yao.

There were alchemists in the current Douluo Continent. The Mysterious Water Pill was one example, and it was not cheap.

After Huo Yuhao consumed one, his Soul Power rose significantly, and it could even improve his aptitude.

Now that Old Yao would personally refine pills, the effects would naturally be far stronger than the Mysterious Water Pill.

He just did not know whether they could awaken Igor.

"Great."

"Old Yao, can the pills you refine awaken that person?"

The person Lin meant was naturally Igor. If he could awaken him, then he would have another trump card.

"Ha ha, kid, of course they can. But since he is only a remnant soul, restoring his strength will require other methods as well."

"The spiritual treasures of the soul beast race are not young, but their effects are not as good as I expected."

"If their effects were better, the results of the refined pills would be much stronger as well."

Old Yao explained it to Lin. They could indeed awaken Igor.

"Old Yao, you also know that the energy level of this world is not as high as that of your world."

"Spiritual treasures of the same age naturally cannot compare to yours."

The Douluo world was already a level lower, and the herbs obtained from the Rui Beast were not Immortal Herbs. Naturally, they could not compare.

If they were Immortal Herbs, their effects would definitely be much better.

Old Yao nodded. "That is true, but this is enough for now."

Very quickly, with Old Yao's help, Lin found a safe cave.

Inside the cave, Old Yao's figure appeared before Lin.

"Kid, watch carefully and learn carefully."

Lin nodded seriously, listening with utmost focus.

With a wave of Old Yao's hand, the ten herbs appeared before him. "Kid, the order of alchemy cannot be wrong: separating the Black Demon Snake, extracting the medicinal essence, breaking down the herbs, condensing the pill... remember that!"

Old Yao explained everything to Lin in detail, from beginning to end, each step made crystal clear.

Lin listened with rapt attention, afraid of missing anything.

Old Yao refined the pills without needing a pill furnace. High-grade medicinal herbs did not require one either.

The instant the Bone Chilling Cold Fire appeared, Lin shivered. Compared to it, his martial soul was not even worth mentioning.

Pale white flames, controlled by Old Yao, gradually refined the medicinal ingredients.

He condensed the pills with his bare hands. Three pills were formed, and all three were infused with Soul Power by Old Yao, making their medicinal effects even stronger.

Ten herbs produced three pills. Judging by their appearance, they looked quite tasty.

The three pills emitted a faint white glow, and a delicate fragrance wafted out. Merely taking a breath made one feel refreshed.

"Old Yao, what kind of flame did you use to refine these pills?"

Lin stared at the pills as he asked. Their effects looked incredibly powerful.

Old Yao stroked his beard and said, "I used Soul Fire to refine them. If I had used spiritual power, the effects would have been much worse."

Lin nodded. It was roughly what he had expected.

"Then, Old Yao, what grade are these pills?"

Old Yao smiled. "The herbs were all around nine hundred years old. Since they were only nine-hundred-year herbs, their effects were much worse. The pills refined from them are only Second Grade."

Second Grade? That was acceptable. Moreover, they were pills for restoring the soul, so they should have effects beyond simply raising one's cultivation.

If they had been refined from Demon Realm spiritual treasures, they would start at Third Grade at the very least.

But could these Second Grade pills awaken Igor?

"Old Yao, isn't the grade of these pills too low?"

"Can they really awaken that person?"

Lin was somewhat doubtful. After all, Igor was a god. Though he was currently only a remnant soul, his former strength was still there.

Of course, he still could not compare to Old Yao.

Old Yao stroked his beard and smiled. "Ha ha, kid, this is why I said I can only awaken him, not do anything else."

"The pills are too low-grade. They can only awaken him, nothing more."

"They cannot restore any strength. That is only because he is a remnant soul. If it were a complete soul, these Second Grade pills would be useless."

Old Yao explained it to Lin. They were merely Second Grade pills, but their effects were naturally not something the Mysterious Water Pill could compare to.

Moreover, these pills had been personally refined by Old Yao, so there was no need to question their effects.

Lin suddenly understood. If there were Immortal Herbs, Igor could recover.

Right, how had he forgotten about Immortal Herbs? Where were there more Immortal Herbs than the Star Dou Forest?

Next time, he had to mention it to the Rui Beast. He could trade for them with Immortal Herbs. How had he not thought of that earlier?

At first, Lin had only wanted to use pills that restored the soul to help Old Yao recover. He had forgotten about Igor.

No matter. Now that he remembered, there was no need to worry.

In any case, he would be meeting the Rui Beast soon. He could bring it up then; if possible, he could trade for herbs with pills.

Thinking about it, the effects of the pills should be enough to attract the Rui Beast.

Lin grew excited, wishing he could immediately meet the Rui Beast.

But he did not have enough pills, and the pills Old Yao refined were not so easy to make.

"Kid, these may not be very useful to that person, but they will be very useful to you."
