The first night in the Black Rain Zone passed without incident.
After a night of fierce fighting, everyone was exhausted. After taking turns guarding the " Restriction Flag," they all went into the stone house to rest and recover.
Lu Ming was in a stone house. He glanced at the doorway and saw his second uncle, Lu Jinglei, sitting against the wall, yawning repeatedly.
"Second Uncle, why don't you take a rest?" Lu Ming said.
"That won't do. You're all alone in this room. I have to guard the door for you to prevent any Rain Spawn from attacking." Lu Jinglei rubbed his face. The stone house over there was crowded with people snoring loudly, making it impossible for Lu Ming to concentrate on refining the Rain Pearl.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming didn't say anything more. He sat cross-legged on a large rock in the room, staring at a jet-black Rain Pearl in his hand. The Rain Pearl seemed to be filled with black water, exuding a cold and eerie aura.
However, although this thing looks strange, for many Divine Ability Practitioner without a strong foundation or family background, it is a good thing to enhance their Primordial Qi. However, the price to pay for it is that their minds are easily corrupted.
But for many treasure hunters, the most important thing is to increase their strength to survive.
Lu Ming pondered for a moment. He did not choose to use his own Thunderfire Primordial Qi to refine the Rain Pearl because that would be too slow and would consume too much Primordial Qi. They were currently carrying out the "flag guarding" mission and had to maintain their Primordial Qi at all times to preserve their combat effectiveness.
Lu Ming then raised his hand, and a flash of azure light appeared as the Fire Lotus Pill Furnace floated in front of him.
From the beginning, he wondered if he could refine the Rain Pearl using alchemy.
Lu Ming flicked his finger, throwing the " Rain Pearl " into the Fire Lotus Pill Furnace. Then he activated the " True Explanation of Six Refinements of Clear Qi," and in the next moment, fifteen streams of Clear Qi roared out, swirling around the " Rain Pearl."
Clear Qi flowed, like flowing water, washing over the " Rain Pearl " in waves.
Soon, Lu Ming was pleasantly surprised to see that as the Clear Qi continuously washed over the Rain Pearl, the pitch-black color inside was visibly fading away. The refining speed was indeed faster than that of refining with Primordial Qi.
That's normal, since Dao of Alchemy and supernatural powers are inherently adept at refining and smelting.
Later, Lu Ming took out all nine Rain Pearl and threw them into the alchemy furnace.
Fifteen streams of Clear Qi circulated back and forth, rapidly refining the polluted Primordial Qi within the Rain Pearl.
After about half an hour, the ten pitch-black " Rain Pearl " had turned transparent. The cold and eerie black energy inside them disappeared, replaced by rich Primordial Qi, which floated in the air like mist.
"Tsk, this refining speed is probably not much slower than Grandpa's, right?" Lu Ming was overjoyed. This was good, as it could help relieve some of the pressure on Lu Jin. After all, he was the absolute main force of "guarding the flag." If something happened to Lu Jin, their camp would probably be breached by the Rain Spawn in an instant.
Lu Ming gazed at the ten transparent Rain Pearl floating in the alchemy furnace, and was about to take them out when a thought suddenly struck him.
"Although the Primordial Qi within these Rain Pearl has been refined, there must still be some residual black rain vapor. This vapor is deeply rooted, and even Divine Ability Master would find it difficult to completely eliminate it."
"If I were to refine it further using the ' Flame of Life,' perhaps I could make the remaining rain vapor even thinner..."
"More importantly, if we could refine a wisp of the Flame of Life into the Rain Pearl, then when Father and Second Uncle use them, not only will their Primordial Qi recover faster, but the life force of that Flame of Life will also help them recover from their injuries more quickly."
Lu Ming's eyes grew brighter. In last night's battle, apart from Lu Jin and himself who were unharmed, everyone else, even the strongest Lü Feng, had sustained injuries. Although the injuries were not serious, the key point was that it was only the first day.
In the coming days, similar tough battles will only increase and become more difficult.
After all, the Six-Armed Rain Spawn has not yet appeared. Once such Rain Spawn appears, if Lu Jin is restrained, the pressure on the others will increase dramatically.
There will inevitably be serious injuries or even casualties.
At this time, healing injuries and maintaining the team's fighting strength becomes especially important.
Upon realizing this, Lu Ming immediately took action. A bright green flame ignited within the alchemy furnace, enveloping the ten Rain Pearl. While refining them with all its might, it also infused the Rain Pearl with a trace of the life-giving fire of the Flame of Life.
After an incense stick has burned.
The Rain Pearl inside the alchemy furnace showed a subtle change; a faint emerald green luster had appeared within their originally transparent bodies.
Lu Ming then stopped, took out a Rain Pearl, sensed it, and his eyes lit up. After being refined a second time with the help of the Flame of Life, the residual rain vapor in the Rain Pearl was noticeably thinner. More importantly, the Primordial Qi in the Rain Pearl was mixed with a Flame of Life.
This slight anger can accelerate the recovery from injuries.
"How can I completely purify the rain vapor within the Rain Pearl?" Lu Ming was slightly greedy. He himself was protected by the Fire Lotus Mark, so the residual rain vapor in these Rain Pearl could not affect his mind. However, Lu Qingyan, Lu Jinglei, and even Lu Jin could not absorb the Rain Pearl without restraint. Therefore, if Lu could completely purify the Rain Pearl, these strange and ferocious Rain Spawn would have extremely unique value in his eyes.
Complete purification... that step is obviously very difficult, after all, even the Flame of Life couldn't achieve it.
This is normal, since the Flame of Life is inherently mild and has little destructive power, so it is naturally not good at purification.
"Purification?"
Lu Ming suddenly had a thought; at that moment, he remembered another spark within the Black Ring space.
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
This Spirit Fire excels at purification, but it's unclear just how far this supposed expertise extends. Can it purify the black rain and mist?
It should work, right? After all, the seal on that fire seed is much stronger than the Flame of Life, clearly making it extremely extraordinary.
However, it's too early to think about these things now. The seal on the " Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame " is too strong; he simply cannot shake it now. He can only wait and see.
Therefore, Lu Ming quickly gathered his scattered thoughts, took out all the " Rain Pearl ", and then waved his hand to disperse the flame furnace.
"Second Uncle..."
Lu Ming looked towards the doorway and saw that Lu Jinglei had fallen asleep with his head drooping at some point. He smiled and closed his eyes to rest as well.
Half a day later, the camp regained its vitality, and everyone was in much better condition after resting.
" The Rain Pearl have all been refined; let's distribute them." Lu Jin summoned everyone, then took out the Rain Pearl he had refined, preparing to distribute them.
The crowd's eyes lit up with eagerness. The Rain Pearl from these Four-Armed Rain Spawn were just as effective as " Dharma Pattern Pill " for them. Although frequent use could have a negative effect on their minds, it was still manageable as long as they controlled the pace.
Lu Jin distributed the Rain Pearl fairly, and everyone scooped up a few.
"Would you all like to try mine?" Lu Ming asked with a smile, pulling out the ten Rain Pearl he had refined.
Looking at them with some curiosity, the others asked, "Why do your Rain Pearl have a slightly greenish glow?"
"I'm refining it using Dao of Alchemy techniques, so it's naturally different from how Grandpa refined it. Want to give it a try?" Lu Ming shrugged.
Lü Feng and the others exchanged glances, all laughing awkwardly, but none dared to make a move. After all, absorbing the Primordial Qi from the Rain Pearl had the negative effect of eroding one's mind. Lu Jin was Divine Ability Master powers, and everyone trusted his refining abilities, but Lu Ming...
Although they had witnessed many amazing things about Lu Ming along the way, he was still just a young man who had only recently entered the realm of Great Divine Ability Practitioner.
Even if the Rain Pearl he refined were done using Dao of Alchemy techniques... who would dare to be his guinea pig?
What if the residual black rain vapor inside is too strong, and one pill causes mental instability?
Gambling is not allowed here.
For a moment, the atmosphere became slightly awkward.
"I'll give it a try."
In the end, it was Lu Qingyan, Lu Ming's father, who stepped forward to support him. He took a Rain Pearl that glowed green and laughed, "So you all looked down on A-Ming's abilities. Don't come crying to him for Rain Pearl later."
Lü Feng and Lu Song shook their heads with smiles, taking it as Lu Qingyan simply trying to support his son.
In front of everyone, Lu Qingyan sat cross-legged on the ground, clasped his hands together, holding Rain Pearl between them, and began to draw out the Primordial Qi from them.
A Primordial Qi, emitting a faint green glow, was drawn from the Rain Pearl and entered Lu Qingyan's body.
After a long while, the Primordial Qi within the Rain Pearl was completely absorbed, turning into powder and dissipating.
Lu Qingyan opened his eyes, his expression slightly dazed.
"Hey, Qingyan?" Lü Feng and the others were startled upon seeing this. Had they really been rendered mentally stunted just like that? How much black rain vapor remained in those Rain Pearl?
However, Lu Qingyan quickly regained his senses. Ignoring Lü Feng and the others, he stared at Lu Ming in astonishment. " A-Ming, how did you do that? The purity of this Rain Pearl is the purest I've absorbed in all these years, and..."
He rolled up his sleeve, revealing his arm, which had previously bore a bloody claw mark—a wound inflicted by a Rain Spawn the previous night—but now, the claw mark had mostly healed.
" The Primordial Qi within these Rain Pearl can even heal wounds!"
Inside the stone house, the atmosphere froze for a moment.
Everyone stared in shock at the scene, even Lu Jin, whose aged face showed a momentary look of astonishment.
The next moment, Lü Feng and the others suddenly turned their gaze to the nine Rain Pearl that remained in front of Lu Ming.
Hands flashed past, leaving afterimages, and snatched it away with lightning speed.
"You didn't want these just now, right? Give them all to me!"
"Bullshit, you're shameless!"
"Damn it, Lao Lü, why did you steal so much?"
"Don't run! I'll break your legs!"
"Damn it, leave me one! You beast!"
"..."
Inside the stone house, shouts and arguments nearly blew the roof off in an instant.
