Huo Yun, with a respectful expression, held a jade bottle in both hands and slowly handed it over.
"Good, very good, this has really helped me a lot. However, there aren't many Yellow Dragon Pills, just enough for my cultivation needs for now. There are more Three Treasures Pills, though, so you can take one or two to refine and cultivate later!"
Lin Xiuyuan was overjoyed. Now that he had the Yellow Dragon Pill, his chances of breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage before the third competition had increased to more than 70%.
All that's left to do is see how many times he needs to attempt the breakthrough! After all, his aptitude is insufficient, and even a breakthrough in a minor realm carries a high risk of failure!
...
Upon hearing this, Huo Yun was overjoyed to learn that she could obtain a precious pill for cultivation and immediately said, "Thank you for your generous gift, Master."
The Three Treasures Pill requires at least a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator to refine, and its medicinal power is extremely strong. Even Lin Xiuyuan cannot take it at this time and can only barely refine the Yellow Dragon Pill. Therefore, Huo Yun prioritized refining the Yellow Dragon Pill for Lin Xiuyuan.
While the Three Treasures Pill is not something that can be refined by those in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, that only applies to human cultivators. For her powerful demon body, it is perfectly capable of withstanding such a strong medicinal impact.
Even if most of these precious pills belong to Lin Xiuyuan, refining just one or two will greatly accelerate her progress, shortening the time to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to within a few decades!
For a moment, Huo Yun couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that being with Lin Xiuyuan wasn't so bad after all. It was much better than she had initially expected, when human cultivators would be hiding and cultivating cautiously.
Now, not only does she have rare treasures to help her, but resources are also constantly being supplied, so she doesn't need to worry about anything. This allows her cultivation to continue to progress at a high speed. Now, she also has such precious pills. It can be said that there are no cultivation conditions like this in the entire clan!
This would likely be extremely satisfying and a source of great joy for anyone else.
Although Huo Yun was somewhat happy at the moment, she was still a little uncomfortable. After all, no matter how good the cultivation environment was, it could not erase the fact that she was a spirit beast. Her life was in the hands of others, and her path was bound to the will of others!
Lin Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "It's alright."
After all, Huo Yun had been a great help to him and was an extremely powerful spirit beast, so he naturally wouldn't be stingy with his generosity.
Immediately, Lin Xiuyuan took out two Qiankun bags and tossed them to Huo Yun.
One of them was a spiritual item containing the Three Treasures Pill, a Three-Colored Lotus, and two pieces of spiritual materials. The former was the spiritual item obtained from the secret place. Two of them were obtained in total. If both could be made into pills, at least twelve precious pills would be produced. They were not needed for the time being, so it was better to take out a small portion to improve Huo Yun's progress. The rest, along with the Yellow Dragon Pill, would be enough to shorten the time it would take for him to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
The other Qiankun bag contained the auxiliary medicine that Huo Yun had mentioned earlier. It contained the same ingredients and formula for the Three Treasures Pill, but it lacked the main ingredient, the Three-Colored Lotus, so it could not be made into a pill and all the pills produced were waste pills.
It's entirely about increasing proficiency and success rate, much like making talismans. By refining them, you increase your grasp of the process, become familiar with condensing and fusing elixirs, and so on.
Few alchemists would do this, as it would be too expensive, unless they were refining some rare elixir, such as the precious elixir they were currently making!
Because the materials for a rare elixir are naturally expensive, easily costing tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Lin Xiuyuan saved some money here, keeping the price of each dose of medicine to around 10,000 spirit stones. Although it was a bit of a reduction, he still prepared a few doses, which was enough for a naturally gifted alchemist like Huo Yun.
Fortunately, Su Qiaojia promoted him to a second-level VIP, giving him a certain amount of credit in Wanbaolou and allowing him to directly advance some spiritual items, which enabled the Three Treasures Pill to be refined as soon as possible.
...
"Not bad, a total of seven pills have been successfully formed."
After Huo Yun left, Lin Xiuyuan took out the jade bottle from before and examined it. The precious pill had a rich aura, as if it contained surging pure spiritual power. The aura wafted towards him, creating a sense of overwhelming power, which made him nod in satisfaction.
Immediately, a thoughtful look flashed in Lin Xiuyuan's eyes. He took out a pill from the jade bottle and put it into his Qiankun bag.
Then Lin Xiuyuan moved his divine sense and extended it outwards from the secret chamber.
Before long, two ghostly white birds flew to Lin Xiuyuan's front.
Then, Lin Xiuyuan crushed the Yellow Dragon Pill in his hand, carefully took off a small fragment of the pill, split it in half, and fed it to the two Yin Spirit White Birds in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
Lin Xiuyuan carefully and patiently observed them. Before long, as the medicinal power was refined, the spiritual energy emanating from the two Yin Spirit White Birds rapidly surged. However, they soon seemed unable to control this surge in spiritual energy.
Finally, with a "bang," the two ghostly white birds in front of them exploded completely, turning into blood foam that scattered on the ground.
Lin Xiuyuan remained calm as he extended his divine sense to examine the area thoroughly, a process that took a full quarter of an hour.
Lin Xiuyuan then withdrew his divine sense, nodded slightly, and felt reassured. With a wave of his hand, he wiped away the blood foam.
Although it's unlikely that Huo Yun would use tricks with the pills, since he might lose control of the medicine's effects and end up exploding and dying, Huo Yun would also perish under the master-servant restriction, so the possibility is naturally very low.
However, one must be wary, for Huo Yun ultimately did not become his spirit beast willingly, but was forced by circumstances...
Lin Xiuyuan was so cautious that he would not have overlooked this possibility; as long as safety could be guaranteed, that was fine.
