"Although I know there's something inside the collar, I can't destroy it or take out what's inside."
"Forget it, I'll continue refining the Poisonous Beast Pills."
Lin Xiaofei held the collar and tried to tear at the cracked part, but it wouldn't budge, so he put it down.
This time, his alchemy technique was excellent, and he successfully refined a Poison Beast Pill.
With his improved alchemy skills, Lin Xiaofei felt that his alchemy process was much easier than before.
At the same time, his mental energy was not being consumed as quickly.
"The only drawback is that there are a few pills in the Hundred Medicines Record that are of extremely high quality and can only be made by cultivators who have cultivated spiritual energy. Otherwise, I would really like to try to make the most difficult pills, which would be of great help to me."
Lin Xiaofei sighed slightly and reached out to take out the Poisonous Beast Pill from the medicine furnace.
"Why don't we test it again and see what happens to the collar this time?"
As Lin Xiaofei thought to himself, he casually stuck the Poisonous Beast Pill onto the cracked part of the collar.
Click!
The once glossy Poison Beast Pill instantly turned gray. At the same time, two closely spaced cracks appeared on the collar, about the width of a thumb. It broke off directly from the two cracks with a crisp sound.
A section of the collar, about the size of a thumb, fell off, and a blood-red plant seed fell out from it.
"Hmm? It's actually a plant seed."
Lin Xiaofei picked up the fallen seeds, looked at them, and was very curious.
"These blood-red plant seeds must be something very precious, otherwise Zhang Yugui would not have continued to send people to monitor me."
Lin Xiaofei thought about it again and felt a little excited.
He felt that the blood-red seed was very likely something needed for cultivation, and his spatial bead was just right to plant this seed.
Without hesitation, he planted the blood-red seeds directly on the black soil.
However, when he planted the blood-red seed, a few seconds later, the seed buried in the black soil quickly grew, sprouting into a small seedling, a medium seedling, branches, large green leaves, small flower buds, flowers, and a small red fruit.
The entire process of the blood-red seed growing took only seven or eight breaths, which surprised Lin Xiaofei. He felt that the growth process of this blood-red seed was too magical.
Lin Xiaofei was unaware that this seed had previously absorbed a large amount of yang energy from wild beasts, giving the blood-red seed a powerful force within it. As long as the seed was planted in the soil, it would grow rapidly.
"These bright red berries are shiny and have an enticing aroma. Just by taking a deep breath of the fragrance, I felt my blood and energy increase slightly. This medicine is too powerful!"
Lin Xiaofei felt a slight surge of energy within his body and felt a surge of excitement.
He guessed that the bright red fruit was likely a highly nourishing food, otherwise it wouldn't have caused such a reaction in his body's blood and qi.
"If we swallow this bright red fruit and use it to accelerate our cultivation of the Three Body Tempering Techniques, it will surely be twice as effective with half the effort. Moreover, there should be seeds of this red fruit inside this ring."
If all these seeds are planted, the cultivation of the second level of the Three Body Tempering Techniques, Flesh Refining, might see significant progress.
The "Flesh Refining" stage for martial artists is essentially equivalent to the mid-stage of an ordinary martial artist, very close to the late-stage. Within the Qingfeng Gang branch, many outer and inner disciples are at this stage, marking their formal entry into the ranks of martial artists.
Lin Xiaofei estimated that if he were to use herbs with a medicinal age of one year to cultivate the second level of the Three Body Tempering Techniques, he would need at least a thousand herbs. This bright red fruit contains the medicinal power equivalent to about two hundred herbs with a medicinal age of one year. In other words, he would need five such fruits, and then he would need to refine four more Poisonous Beast Pills to destroy the collar and obtain the fruit's seeds.
"We can refine one more Poison Beast Pill today; we'll refine the rest tomorrow."
Lin Xiaofei pondered for a moment and then began refining pills.
After successfully refining a Poisonous Beast Pill, Lin Xiaofei felt a little dizzy and unwell, as if he wanted to sleep.
He understood that it was caused by excessive mental energy consumption.
After shaking his head, Lin Xiaofei tidied up briefly, walked out of the spatial bead, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep immediately.
It was late at night.
The lights outside the door had long been extinguished, and a cool night breeze was blowing. In the courtyard, withered leaves fell from the branches, making a soft rustling sound.
The sky was pitch black, the bright moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the courtyard was completely dark.
Suddenly, a dark figure, resembling a five- or six-year-old child, slowly moved across the rooftop, making a soft sound as the tiles shifted.
Lin Xiaofei had exhausted too much mental energy from refining the pills. He was usually quick-witted, but he didn't hear the sound coming from the roof. He was still drowsy and enjoying his sleep.
tread!
In the darkness, a short, dark figure leaped from the rooftop, bounded to the side of the roof, and entered the room.
A creature with entirely black fur, a body one meter tall, and four small legs, slowly crawled along the roof beam.
If Lin Xiaofei saw it, he would immediately recognize it as another rat-like beast.
"Creak! Creak!"
After the rat-like creature climbed onto the roof beam, it raised its little head, straightened its tiny nose, and sniffed the air, seemingly becoming even more clever.
It was sniffing the air, as if trying to find its way. After pausing for a moment, it chose a direction and then slowly climbed down from the roof beam and landed on the ground.
The rat-beast raised its forelimbs, pushed off the ground with its two hind legs, and stood up, sniffing the air.
After a pause, the rat-beast revealed a strange, smirking smile. As if it knew Lin Xiaofei's location, it crawled directly towards the bed.
As it slowly crawled to the side of the table, it suddenly stopped.
"Creak! Creak!"
A faint sound came out, and it quickly stood up, raised its nose, and sniffed the table back and forth, as if it was very excited and something was attracting it, and it wanted to go to the table.
It crawled around the table once, and finally climbed up the table leg. On the tabletop, it saw an open porcelain bottle, emitting a fragrance that attracted it.
Remembering its master's instructions, it turned to look at the sleeping Lin Xiaofei, but couldn't resist getting closer to the porcelain bottle and climbing right up to it.
Inside the porcelain bottle was a Poisonous Beast Pill, which Lin Xiaofei had casually placed on the table before going to sleep.
Soon, it picked up the porcelain bottle with its forelimbs, poured a poisonous beast pill onto the table, and swallowed it without hesitation, looking excited.
In an instant, the poisonous beast pill took effect, spreading throughout its entire body, causing its qi and blood to become disordered, and bright red blood unknowingly flowed from its body surface.
The rat-beast was in pain all over its body, as if a blazing fire was burning it, causing it to tremble involuntarily.
