"Life-Creating Pill? This... this is a healing pill! Brother Lin, what do you need this pill for? Are you going to find another alchemist to refine it? This... this is against the rules!" Bai Xiyue said in surprise. Although she didn't know anything about alchemy, she did know a little about the rules of alchemists.
"Not bad!" Lin Yu nodded in agreement. "I need to find a master alchemist to refine a batch of these pills for me. But don't worry, I won't take him too long. He'll be out in half an hour at most."
"But..." Bai Xiyue hesitated.
"No buts!" Lin Yu interrupted Bai Xiyue directly. "If I'm not mistaken, the Ziwei Star Lord is definitely in seclusion right now. So, at this time, I must rush to the Ziwei Star Lord's cave. That way, I can avoid them."
As for my abilities, I believe that Ziwei Xingjun and the others are unaware of them. Don't worry about it; just deliver me to Ziwei Xingjun.
After saying that, Lin Yu didn't wait for Bai Xiyue to refute him. He flashed and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, Lin Yu was already on a mountaintop hundreds of feet away.
Lin Yu did not choose to fly over because Lin Yu was not good at flying. This distance was enough to leave Lin Yu behind. Moreover, in this open area, Lin Yu could not use any escape techniques unless he had special means or used a secret technique.
Lin Yu chose to fly there because he wanted to use this almost barbaric method to get there as quickly as possible.
Lin Yu was extremely fast; in less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Yu flew into the vicinity of Ziwei Xingjun's cave.
The protective array of this cave is very strong, but to Lin Yu, it's as fragile as paper.
Lin Yu passed directly through the great formation and arrived inside the cave.
Lin Yu continued deeper into the area and soon found the location of the Ziwei Star Lord.
However, when Lin Yu arrived at the Ziwei Star Lord's cave, he was stunned, because there was not a single cultivator in the Ziwei Star Lord's cave at this time. The huge cave contained only the Ziwei Star Lord himself.
Ziwei Xingjun sat cross-legged on a huge rock, closing his eyes to regulate the disordered true energy in his body. His face was pale, and his eyes were tightly closed, as if he were unconscious.
However, on the table beside him were many bottles and jars. Clearly, he was providing true energy to the medicinal liquids in these bottles and jars. The medicinal liquids in those bottles and jars emitted a pale blue light, looking quite tempting.
These bottles and jars contain the very pills Lin Yu needs: the Life-Creating Pill!
Lin Yu glanced at the Ziwei Star Lord, then scanned his surroundings to make sure no one was paying attention before slowly walking towards the location of the Lin Yu Star Lord.
Soon, Lin Yu arrived in front of Ziwei Xingjun, who was already in a meditative state and did not notice Lin Yu's arrival.
However, Lin Yu did not immediately take out the Life-Creating Pill for Ziwei Xingjun to take, but instead stayed beside Ziwei Xingjun.
Lin Yu's gaze fell on Ziwei Xingjun's left chest, where he saw a dark shadow wandering within Ziwei Xingjun's chest cavity.
After careful observation, Lin Yu discovered that the shadow was actually the centipede.
This centipede was lying in the center of Ziwei Xingjun's chest.
This centipede was very small, about the size of a sesame seed, but its head was rather strange, resembling a snake's head, constantly flicking its scarlet forked tongue.
"This... isn't this the Purple Flame Centipede? How could it appear on the chest of the Purple Star Lord?" Upon seeing the Purple Flame Centipede clearly, Lin Yu was secretly startled, and at the same time, he was somewhat shocked.
The legendary centipede is said to possess terrifying strength comparable to, or even surpassing, that of a Golden Immortal cultivator.
"Ziwei Star Lord, do you have any way to refine this centipede?" Lin Yu thought to himself. "If I could refine this centipede, it might increase one of my combat abilities!"
Thinking of this, Lin Yu sat cross-legged beside Ziwei Xingjun and began to observe the Purple Flame Centipede.
This Purple Flame Centipede has an extremely tough body and is also poisonous. However, it is also a material for refining weapons. As long as this Purple Flame Centipede is refined, a Purple Flame Armor can be made. Unfortunately, the Purple Star Lord is still in a deep slumber and has not yet awakened.
However, Lin Yu could try to absorb some of this Purple Flame Centipede. After all, this Purple Flame Centipede had already been sealed inside the chest of the Purple Star Lord. Moreover, Lin Yu also discovered a characteristic of this centipede: its abdomen seemed to have a special indentation. Lin Yu estimated that this Purple Flame Centipede probably replenished its true essence by consuming pills.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu's heart stirred slightly.
Lin Yu remembered that he had killed one of these Purple Flame Centipedes in the Purgatory Forest. That Purple Flame Centipede was raised by the Purple Star Lord, and it was also a Purple Flame Centipede King.
The king of the Purple Flame Centipede should be a demon beast at the Golden Immortal level.
To absorb this Purple Flame Centipede, one's cultivation level must be at least at the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm, and one's strength must also reach the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.
However, if he could absorb the venom of the Purple Flame Centipede, his poison skills would definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Moreover, he could then try to refine the Seven-Turn Purple Spirit Poison Pill.
With that in mind, Lin Yu decided to give it a try and see if he could succeed. If he could, his combat power would definitely increase significantly.
The Purple Flame Centipede is a Golden Immortal-level demonic beast, whose strength is not much different from that of a Golden Core Realm cultivator. If Lin Yu could absorb its venom, it would definitely bring about a tremendous change in his strength.
"This centipede's venom is incredibly potent, but... what a waste! What a squandering of such a precious resource!" Lin Yu glanced at the black aura on Ziwei Xingjun's chest and shook his head reluctantly.
However, Lin Yu quickly put these thoughts out of his mind. He absolutely had to absorb the venom of the Purple Flame Centipede, as it was a treasure that could greatly enhance his strength.
"Purple Flame Centipede, don't be afraid of me, I can help you break the seal!" Lin Yu suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on the Purple Flame Centipede's head.
Lin Yu did this mainly to test whether he was effective against the Purple Flame Centipede. If he could, Lin Yu naturally hoped to tame the Purple Flame Centipede.
However, the moment Lin Yu touched the Purple Flame Centipede, the centipede seemed to have encountered some natural enemy, and began to writhe violently.
"What's going on? This centipede is afraid of my palm?" Lin Yu was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.
Lin Yu was certain that the Purple Flame Centipede was definitely afraid of him, and it was obvious that the centipede's venom was quite potent. If he could tame it, it would be of great benefit to him.
