Chapter 394 - Spirit Salamander Blood Essence
“30 thousand 400 drops of spirit salamander essence blood…”
All the blood essence was collected by Hu Zhongyuan and the others in tens of specially crafted bottles. They only kept the amount they needed for themselves before giving the rest directly to Zong Shou.
Using spiritual sense to check, it was that number.
Then Zong Shou’s thoughts started to wander. Since he was going to use this thing then he was probably unable to keep it a secret. At most he could only hide where they were produced from.
When he returns, those large races in Gantian Mountain, as well as the sky fox main race, will also look for him, either begging or purchasing a portion. His father in law would probably not give up on this chance either.
The amount he could leave for himself will not exceed 15 thousand.
With how 150 drops can help a normal talent xiantian peak get to martial ancestor realm.
Then he could at most develop 100-120 martial ancestor experts.
This number wasn’t enough, it was far from enough…
Since Hu Zhongyuan and the others said that they were about to clear out all the mutated beasts in the canyon, then there weren’t many beasts that escaped their net.
And even if in the future he threw enough elite beasts in, if he wanted more essence blood he had to wait for tens of years to collect.
As for his blood cloud cavalry, within the year he could probably gather up 300, any more was impossible.
Zong Shou only felt his head hurt, before he frowned and asked, “Where’s Yiren?”
When he rushed over he noticed that Yiren wasn’t here. Did she find out that he had destroyed Li Yuandan’s body with a sword at Dragon Gathering Mountain and angrily ran back?
When Hu Zhongyuan heard that his expression was really weird. All of them avoided the topic. In the end, it was Guhe who pointed downwards from the cliff, “Madam? She is still in the canyon. She was the one who chased us up. If the ruler goes down you will know, it isn’t convenient for the few of us to go down.”
Zong Shou’s brows rose up, thinking to himself what this little girl was doing? At this moment was when the poison in the mist was the thickest, was Xuanyuan Yiren trying to kill herself?
Why didn’t Hu Zhongyuan and the others try to persuade her?
Scoffing, Zong Shou stared angrily at Hu Zhongyuan before directly driving the sword and charging off the cliff.
However, when he sunk roughly 400 feet, he found out that he had falsely blamed the people above.
The originally complete and flat stone wall had a small cave opened up.
Xuanyuan Yiren was sitting within, seriously looking at a small pill furnace in front of her body.
Maybe because the temperature within the cave was too high and because she trained in the mysterious moon wood brilliance method, her body was only covered in a thin layer, large parts of her snow-white flesh were revealed on the outside.
Zong Shou shook his head, no wonder Hu Zhongyuan and the others didn’t dare to stay beside her to protect her. No wonder Guhe would say that he was inconvenient.
He looked deeper in, although a decent-sized space was opened out, there were tens of beasts which were tied up within by circles of wooden vines. Their expressions looked shriveled, they were taking their final breaths or staring viciously at Xuanyuan Yiren. They pretty much filled up the entire cave.
There were high-grade ones and low-grade ones, but they were all grade 4 and above. Luckily beside her, there was Chuxue and Ruoshui who alertly looked at the actions of the beasts. When they saw Zong Shou come over they heaved a sigh of relief, followed by a feeling of delight.
Shi Ruolan was also here, holding a huge book and was deeply focused on reading it. The size of the book was even bigger than her and it made up inhale a deep breath when one looked on.
He looked at the book, only to see on that giant cover wrote the words true meaning of the talisman path in gold.
Zong Shou was surprised, glancing at Chuxue and saying, “Didn’t I tell you to teach her how to read? She can understand this book?”
Chuxue’s expression was unusually awkward like she was extremely ashamed. Ruoshui’s eyes shone brightly before she burst out into a laugh,” Xue’er thought her the basics of the talisman path and in the end, in just 20 days she memorized it. As for this book, Xue’er couldn’t teach anymore and could only let her look at it herself…”
Zong Shou was shocked, he remembered that in the last life Shi Ruolan was famous in the martial path and he didn’t hear that she had any achievements in the spiritual cultivation aspect.
Learning words in 10 days, memorizing the entire talisman path basics in 20 days, she had such terrifying comprehension.
Was it because he had activated her snow lion of the palm bloodline in advance?
Since this was the case, then his plan to develop this future famous generation would probably have to change.
Following which Zong Shou turned his gaze towards Xuanyuan Yiren. Similar to Shi Ruolan, she was focused, not noticing anything within the cave.
Zong Shou was curious however he didn’t direct ask Chuxue and Ruoshui, directly sitting down on the side. He admired the tempting body of Xuanyuan Yiren, quietly waiting. Her snow-white skin was half-naked, what a feast for the eyes. Zong Shou only felt the exhaustion in his body disappear.
It wasn’t without reason that Xuanyuan Yiren chose to open the cave here. There were a total of 7 small-sized earth veins which gathered here. The amount of spiritual energy here was a grade above the other parts of the mountain.
Be it pill refining or cultivation there were huge benefits.
It wasn’t until the moon started to descend and the sun start to rise in did a ringing sound break out from within the pill furnace.
When Zong Shou opened his eyes and looked at the small pill furnace which was covered in a red glow. The covered was being struck by an external force like it was about to be forced open.
“Success!”
A look of joy appeared on Xuanyuan Yiren’s face as she opened the lid of the furnace. Then, immediately a thick medicinal scent spread in the cave.
The ten beasts within the cave all roared down in anger. A few of them who had some energy startled to struggle, their eyes opened white as they looked at the pill furnace with desire.
Even those beasts which were on the verge of dying all opened their eyes, a dangerous glow shining within.
Xuanyuan Yiren didn’t bother, carefully taking out tens of red spiritual pills from within and placed them into a bottle.
Only now did she notice that Zong Shou was sitting opposite her. She was instantly stunned.
“Zong Shou, you came back? Why didn’t you call me? Ah…”
After exclaiming she realized that she was pretty much naked. She hurriedly put on her clothes, covering up her body before staring angrily at Zong Shou.
Zong Shou felt like it was a waste, acting like he didn’t see the angry gaze of Xuanyuan Yiren.
She curiously looked towards the side at that bottle of pills.
“What are these pills for? The scent is special, I have never seen them before…”
As he said that, Zong Shou had a feeling. Speaking of which the scent of the pill was similar to the thick mist of the canyon.
Xuanyuan Yiren’s attention was indeed shifted away as she held onto the pill bottle, her brows dancing as she explained, “It is the spirit salamander blood essence pill. I used the spirit beast blood here as the main ingredient to refine spirit salamander essence blood. Then I added in ten other types of pill medicine to form it. Its effects are half of that of the pure essence blood. I tried for 23 days on these beasts and am about to complete it!”
Zong Shou was instantly enlightened, so those beasts bounded up were being treated as lab rats.
Those beasts whose grade increased are the successful ones whilst those on the ground about to die showed signs of being poisoned, they were the examples of the failed attempts. His heart was even more shocked.
“I remembered that you said you needed at least a year to refine the pills? How did you do so so quickly? I had friends who told me that the blood of the spirit salamander definitely couldn’t be made into pills. That person was a pill master and could refine grade 9 spirit pills…”
Remembering his last life, he had many top-grade pill master friends. However, none of them could successfully make a pill here.
As such they could only directly take the essence blood from the body of these beasts to consume.
“I mentioned a year if I didn’t have the essence blood to rely on and refer to. However, I underestimated the blood. The poison mist indeed can’t be made into pills.”
Xuanyuan Yiren shook her head, speaking about pill refining her expression would become serious, “If the mist itself had poison then naturally it was impossible. However, the blood of the beasts have gone through a layer of purification, to consolidate the poison within is much simpler. So how is it impossible to refine a pill?”
Zong Shou couldn’t help but click his tongue, thinking to himself that was this the difference between pill path geniuses and normal pill masters?
His few friends in the game were much too weak.
Thinking of how these pills could compare to one-fourth of the spiritual beast blood, which meant that just 400-600 was enough to make a peak xiantian become a martial ancestor.
He smiled following which a bright glow exploded within, “How many of these spirit salamander blood essence pills can you make in a year?”
Xuanyuan Yiren noticed the unusualness going on with Zong Shou, her brows furrowing, she then shook her head, “I refined this pill to verify my pill. I didn’t think about actually using it. However, these few days Hu Zhongyuan and the others helped me gather up a lot of the blood of these beasts. If used to refine pills, then at most I can make 100 thousand of them. These pills also have a fatal weakness. Once one takes more than a hundred, then if they want to advance before they cured the poison, it would be 10 times harder than normal people!”
Zong Shou was startled, eating hundred of these pills and one wouldn’t be able to advance? That’s right! How could there be such a perfect thing in the world?
To gain something then one naturally has to pay a price.
Following which he didn’t mind much about it. In this world to people who were about to die and were stuck at peak xiantian, unable to break through the extremes of man, this spirit salamander blood essence pill still had value. It couldn’t be called a flaw since it was much better than those pills that forcefully ignited the body’s potential by reducing their lifespan.
However, the number was still a little lacking.
100 thousand spirit salamander blood essence pills could at most develop 200 blood cloud cavalry. It was still much lacking from the 600 in his mind.
