However, it was clear that the Purple Flame Centipede did not buy it.
"Could it be that my strength is insufficient to make this Purple Flame Centipede recognize me as its master?" Lin Yu frowned as he thought, and at the same time, he began to activate the chaotic flames within his body, fusing them together with the Purple Flame Centipede.
The fusion of the Purple Flame Centipede and the Chaos Flame cannot be achieved through ordinary means; Lin Yu must use his divine sense.
Divine sense is a method of soul cultivation. As long as Lin Yu's soul power is strong enough, he can communicate with the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth and then condense it into his own divine sense.
Lin Yu's spiritual sense was incredibly powerful; he quickly enveloped the Purple Flame Centipede's consciousness.
As the Purple Flame Centipede struggled, its toxins began to erode Lin Yu's divine sense. However, Lin Yu's divine sense was exceptionally resilient. No matter how much the Purple Flame Centipede struggled, it could not invade his sea of consciousness, much less harm his divine sense.
After a short while, the Purple Flame Centipede gradually calmed down.
Then, the body of the Purple Flame Centipede slowly floated up.
Lin Yu absorbed the toxins bit by bit, and as the toxins dissipated, Lin Yu strength gradually recovered.
However, this toxin was too potent. Lin Yu only absorbed one-third of it, and his strength was reduced to only 20% of its original level. Fortunately, Lin Yu possessed the ability to devour spiritual herbs; otherwise, he would not have been able to absorb all of the toxins.
This Purple Flame Centipede is a Golden Immortal-level being, and not just any ordinary Golden Immortal; its venom is absolutely extraordinary.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lin Yu's expression froze.
Lin Yu discovered that a pill was hidden inside his body.
This pill was unremarkable, oval in shape, and entirely crimson, like a burning ember. In the dantian area, several pale yellow dots were suspended, constantly rotating and emitting rich Spiritual Qi fluctuations.
"Huh, what is this...?" Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise, then took the pill out of his sea of consciousness and examined it in his palm.
"What kind of pill is this?" Lin Yu looked at the pill with some surprise.
This elixir looks rather ancient, covered with mottled marks, suggesting it has weathered the passage of time.
"Never mind, let's take a look first!" Lin Yu gripped it tightly in his hand, and with a thought, a powerful surge of soul energy instantly flowed into the pill.
Boom!
As Lin Yu's soul power entered the pill, the pill immediately exploded.
The pill contained an extremely violent destructive aura, which tore Lin Yu's soul apart in an instant. However, this destructive aura did not harm Lin Yu.
"Excellent! It truly is a top-grade elixir!" Lin Yu was overjoyed and then examined it carefully again.
After the pill shattered, Lin Yu discovered that on its surface, there were faint, mysterious runes that were shimmering with a dim light.
"This pill contains a mysterious and vast power, seemingly divine runes left by some powerful being. This pill is actually a high-grade pill!" Lin Yu thought to himself, "No wonder the Purple Flame Centipede was unwilling to submit to me; so that's the reason!"
Lin Yu quickly confirmed that the quality of this pill was indeed that of a high-grade spiritual pill, and moreover, it was a rare Five Elements Divine Pill. Although the quality of this kind of pill was not as good as that of a top-grade immortal pill, its power was no less than that of a top-grade immortal pill.
This kind of elixir carries extremely high risks during its refining process. If one is not careful, the elixir will shatter and eventually explode into ashes.
However, under Lin Yu's control, this pill had no problems whatsoever. In other words, this pill could be manipulated at will and could explode at any time.
"It seems my luck is pretty good; this harvest is quite plentiful. However, this Purple Flame Centipede is too powerful. I wonder if I can subdue it!" Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then grasped the Purple Flame Centipede in his palm and began to refine the venomous snake.
"Awoo~"
The Purple Flame Centipede's resistance grew increasingly fierce, roaring incessantly as it tried to break free from Lin Yu's control.
"Hmph, no matter how you struggle, it's all in vain!" Lin Yu sneered, his movements accelerating. Soon, a golden pill appeared in Lin Yu hand.
The pill looked like an eggshell, but it exuded a terrifying pressure. Lin Yu had felt this pressure before; it was clearly a top-grade spiritual artifact, and this was the first time Lin Yu had ever seen one.
"Roar~"
Just then, the Purple Flame Centipede's resistance grew increasingly fierce, as if it wanted to tear Lin Yu to pieces.
"Hehe, don't struggle anymore. Since I can catch you, I naturally have a way to control you!" Lin Yu looked indifferently at the struggling Purple Flame Centipede.
"Roar~"
As Lin Yu finished speaking, the Purple Flame Centipede suddenly opened its mouth and bit down hard on Lin Yu's wrist.
Lin Yu had anticipated this, and with a flick of his arm, he tossed it out of his body.
Boom!
The moment Lin Yu threw the Purple Flame Centipede, the pill suddenly burst forth with a dazzling purple light and then exploded in mid-air.
Purple smoke billowed out, and a huge mushroom cloud rose into the air, covering the entire sky. The aftershocks of the Purple Flame Centipede's explosion actually triggered a small hurricane, sending Lin Yu flying hundreds of meters away.
"What powerful explosive force!" Lin Yu Lin Yu was deeply shocked. The power of the explosion had exceeded his ability to withstand it.
Whew~
After finally regaining his footing, Lin Yu quickly took several Rejuvenation Pills, which barely managed to replenish his depleted true essence.
"After the Purple Flame Centipede explodes, it should turn into a pile of powder, right?" Lin Yu thought to himself. Then, he saw that the purple dust actually condensed into clusters of purple light spheres in the air.
Within the purple sphere of light, an extremely violent spiritual energy was surging.
"The Purple Flame Centipede, this is a real treasure! The concentration of its spiritual energy is extremely high, even purer than that of ordinary spiritual pills. If I were to absorb this spiritual energy into my body and cultivate, I would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort." Lin Yu thought excitedly to himself, and then collected the remnants of the Purple Flame Centipede.
Lin Yu searched the cave for a long time before finally discovering a stone chamber.
This stone chamber is quite peculiar, as it shares the same main layout as the main cave dwelling.
Inside the stone chamber were many bottles and jars, filled with all sorts of pills. Some had colors, others had names of the pill formulas, and even the blood of spirit beasts had a mark. Lin Yu guessed that this should be the blood of the Purple Flame Centipede.
"These pills must all be high-grade pills, and of good quality. It seems this centipede is an alchemist!" Lin Yu looked at the pills and was in a good mood.
