Preparations

This is likely related to the characteristics of these Lizardmen; they can only exist in magma, and once they leave the magma, they turn to ashes.

This race was likely created by the Tou She Ancient God to guard this Magma Sea, and the unfortunate Old Dragon Emperor was simply assigned to be its gatekeeper.

"What is this?" Cailin looked at the Dan Bead in Lin Qing's hand with a hint of curiosity.

"These are the Dan Bead inside the bodies of these Lizardmen, equivalent to Monster Core. Each one contains powerful and violent fire-attribute energy. Adding some other medicines can neutralize this violence and provide energy for body forging!"

The most important thing about these Dan Bead is that they are a great tonic for Fire Attribute cultivators. However, unfortunately, the energy of these Dan Bead is too violent and cannot be consumed directly. They need to be neutralized with other medicines, otherwise they would be comparable to fourth or fifth- Medicinal Pill.

However, Alchemist with Heavenly Flames can consume it directly, as can Fire Attribute Magical Beast.

Immediately, he thought of Little Dragon Maiden, and wondered if Zi Yan could eat it. Oh well! He'd better save some for her! He could let her try it later.

Originally, reshaping the body using the Revolving Wheel Pill required a huge amount of energy. Without a large number of Nirvana Stage Pills, Lin Qing had to find other substitutes, and this Dan Bead was one of them.

With a flick of his wrist, he stored the Dan Bead in his Storage Ring.

Upon hearing this, Cailin immediately unleashed a bolt of lightning, shattering all the Lizardmen's corpses. With a flick of her wrist, hundreds of Dan Bead appeared before the two of them.

Lin Qing glanced around and saw a total of 110 Dan Bead in front of him. With a flick of his sleeve, he put all the Dan Bead into his Storage Ring.

"Walk!"

Lin Qing sensed a violent commotion coming from the north of the magma, including Lizardmen at the Dou Venerable level. The magma was constantly writhing, and these creatures were continuously flowing towards the two of them.

He quickly left this place of trouble with Cailin in tow.

Lin Qing, carrying the Cailin, swiftly traversed the lava, returning to the base of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

The entire Magma Sea was calm and still, deathly silent, except for the occasional faint cracking sound from bubbles.

Suddenly, a sound of water breaking came from above the lava.

"Thump!"

"They're finally out!"

Because he was not used to the Magma World with the Cailin, and also because he was with Venerable Tian Huo, Lin Qing found it inconvenient to fight those Lizardmen, so he chose to retreat temporarily.

Then Lin Qing blasted a hole in the rock wall, took Cailin into the hole, and released the Little Marten.

As soon as the Little Marten emerged, it discovered that they were on a patch of lava.

"Big brother, where are you?"

"This is a Magma Sea. I will resurrect you here in a while!"

After explaining to Little Marten, he introduced himself to Cailin and Elder Yao.

Immediately, Lin Qing took out the Soul-Nourishing Saliva and Soul-Nourishing Pill that he had already refined. "Little Marten, Elder Yao, these are Medicinal Pill prepared for you to nourish and restore your souls!"

"Thank you very much, young friend!" Venerable Tian Huo said respectfully.

"Little Marten, Elder Yao, you two should nourish your souls well. When I have gathered the energy needed for your resurrection, that will be the day you are resurrected," Lin Qing said with a light laugh.

After settling Cailin and the two souls, Lin Qing jumped into the lava again.

In the following months, apart from leaving the tower to inform Su Qian and the others that he was going into seclusion, Lin Qing spent the rest of his time hunting Lizardmen in the lava to obtain Dan Bead. Thanks to his Spatial Ancestral Talisman and Pocket World, he was always able to hit his target with one strike and escape unscathed.

"Puff!"

A muffled sound came from the magma. Lin Qing withdrew his hand from the Lizardmen's body and put the Dan Bead into his Storage Ring.

"I have a feeling that these Lizardmen are getting smarter and smarter, and they're moving faster and faster too!"

After Lin Qing finished collecting the Dan Bead, he noticed a commotion coming from all directions. Clearly, he had been discovered again, or rather, he was now the one being lured.

When he first entered the lava to hunt Lizardmen, he could hunt them easily. Now, most Lizardmen move in groups, and fewer and fewer Lizardmen act alone. Moreover, these Lizardmen are appearing faster and faster after their own kind dies.

This forces him to hunt down groups of Lizardmen, but he must end the battles as quickly as possible, or he will be overwhelmed by Lizardmen.

Lin Qing has already hunted down tens of thousands of Lizardmen and obtained tens of thousands of Dan Bead. Among them, there are more than thirty Lizardmen at the Dou Venerable level. Logically speaking, even if these Lizardmen are not extinct, they should be severely weakened.

But these Lizardmen seem endless, as if they can never be killed. The Lizardmen in this Magma Sea seem to be like small monsters that are constantly being reorganized and replenished.

"Forget it! Let's go back first! Judging by the time, Little Marten and the others should have finished digesting the Medicinal Pill by now!"

Lin Qing transformed into a streak of white light and vanished from the spot, rushing towards the location of Cailin Lin and the others.

"Thump!"

Lin Qing flew out of the lava, moved swiftly, sheathed the Dragon and Cailin Dragon-Phoenix Sword, and darted into the cave where Cai Lin and the others were.

"You're back!" Cailin said gently.

"Yes! I'm back!" Lin Qing wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, his gaze sweeping over Little Marten and Venerable Tian Huo, and smiled, "You've accumulated almost all the energy you need!"

He had been searching for a solution to Cailin's physical problems, as the Heaven Realm Soul technique was still too far-fetched.

Fortunately, he had obtained an Eighth-Grade, five-colored Soul-Dividing Pill from the system a few months ago, which, together with the Revolving Wheel Pill he had acquired before, gave him a solution.

Little Marten and Venerable Tian Huo have already digested the Medicinal Pill given to them by Lin Qing!

This time, he obtained 12,000 Lizardmen's Dan Bead, which was not only enough for Caidie and the other two to reshape their bodies, but also allowed him to advance one or two stars above the Dou Emperor.

He is a man of his word, so now it's time to bring them back to life!

With a slight exhale, Lin Qing no longer hesitated. He immediately took out the Dragon-Phoenix Cauldron, flicked his finger, and threw the Heavenly Flames into the Medication Cauldron.

This time, the refining was not for making Medicinal Pill, but simply for combining the violent energy from a single Dan Bead. This kind of refining could be done by ordinary fourth or fifth-grade Alchemist. If it weren't for the large quantity being refined, he wouldn't need Medication Cauldron at all.

After the Medication Cauldron was warmed up, Lin Qing took out Medicinal Herb one by one from his Storage Ring and threw them into the Medication Cauldron...

This refining process took quite a while. Although it wasn't difficult, the large quantity and repetitive nature of the process made it frustrating. Fortunately, he had a solution.

That means refining it for ten days and then going down into the lava to hunt Lizardmen.

Lizardmen: Thank you!

After a month of this process, Lin Qing finally finished refining most of the Medicinal Pellet needed by the three of them.
