Chapter 1429: Experimental Modification of Medicinal Pills

In a dense forest surrounded by towering mountains, Lin Feng gazed solemnly into the distance, where a furnace burned with roaring flames.

At the same time, he would occasionally carefully adjust his own vital energy output to control the temperature of the flames inside the distant furnace.

Of course, the reason he was so careful was because a medicinal pill hovered inside the distant furnace.

And that pill was a seventh-grade medicinal pill he had refined after modification, following the pill-refining approach of the Hundred Origin Continent.

Of course, if placed in the Hundred Origin Continent, it could also be called an upper-grade mundane pill.

"All done, withdraw the fire!"

After continuing the tempering for another span of tea time, Lin Feng then waved his hand and flung the lid of the distant furnace flying.

Then, with a thought, the medicinal pill shot across the sky and then landed in his hand.

"Not bad, the medicinal potency is normal, and the pill passes in all aspects. Now we just lack a test subject."

As he spoke, Lin Feng raised his head and gazed toward the side of the sky.

"Whoosh!"

Not long after his words fell, a bolt of golden lightning rushed from afar.

In just a dozen breaths, it suddenly streaked across the sky and then slowly descended before him.

Meanwhile, after that golden lightning came to a halt, its light quivered and swiftly transformed into a golden-haired maiden.

Looking over, he discovered, to his astonishment, that it was none other than Xiao Jiu!

Indeed, because Lin Feng was annoyed to no end by these two little girls arguing.

Therefore, he simply assigned each of those two girls a task and sent them away.

Thus, Lin Feng was finally able to calmly modify and refine medicinal pills for a whole day.

Meanwhile, if one carefully examined Xiao Jiu, one could discover.

In her hands, she each grasped a burly man!

However, Lin Feng did not feel surprised by this.

Instead, he satisfiedly stroked his chin and nodded, saying: "Not bad, these two are the strongest of the largest bandit gang around, their strength is exactly at the peak of the Lower Three Tribulations, enough for me to test."

"However, Xiao Jiu, you did well—you dealt with that bandit gang so quickly, faster than I imagined. It seems your Nine Mystic Golden Thunder's true form, even if transplanted to another world, remains a top-tier living being!"

"Thank you for the praise, Master, but since Xiao Jiu is so formidable, please don't waste this bloodline; hurry and unite with Xiao Jiu to produce Xiao Lei, that is the proper way."

Hearing this, the stern Xiao Jiu immediately nodded, her expression grave as she spoke.

After all, in her view, the Xiao Lei born from her union with the master would certainly be far better than that clueless silly flame.

As for that colorful flame with negative intelligence, in Xiao Jiu's eyes it is purely a troublemaker come to pollute her master's bloodline.

"Blackheart Thunder, you merely rely on your previous realm's strong body to bully these low-level cultivators—what's there to be proud of? And you, a fox spirit, actually took advantage while I was cultivating medicinal herbs to secretly seduce the master!"

However, just as the former finished speaking, a flash of color streaked across the distant horizon, and Xiao Ling's figure swiftly darted across the sky, dragging a pile of medicinal herbs, arriving before Xiao Jiu to angrily scold.

No sooner had her words fallen than she again angrily shouted: "You, Xiao Ling, Miss, have already completed your union with the master ahead of time; you are my elder, yet you, this useless Blackheart Thunder still a virgin, dare to howl here!"

"Sizzle!"

Upon those words, Xiao Jiu's surroundings suddenly burst forth with copious golden crackling electricity.

In the sky where she was, it rapidly condensed into several hundred-zhang-tall golden thunder dragons!

At the same time, her hair and skirt suddenly could not move on their own.

As for her eyes, they were now directly occupied by blinding golden lightning!

"Yo, Blackheart Thunder, if you can't win with words you want to fight, huh? Xiao Ling, Miss, doesn't need to use her Emperor Realm soul and body to fight you; let's directly compare the power of my flame with your Nine Mystic Golden Thunder, so I won't be accused of bullying you."

Upon seeing that change, Xiao Ling instantly had violent colorful flames surge up behind her, forming a flame barrier on the horizon!

"Ugh..."

However, just as the two were tense, the bandit gripped in each of Xiao Jiu's hands suddenly began to shudder uncontrollably.

At the same time, their eyes rapidly shifted from tightly shut to wildly rolling upward.

Their eyeballs even lost any trace.

"Smack! Smack!"

Meanwhile, Lin Feng, seeing the two girls clash again, rushed forward and gave each of their buttocks a hard smack.

"Ow, that hurts!"

Suddenly struck by this "heavy blow," Xiao Ling immediately winced and jumped up.

Then, clutching her sore buttocks and grimacing in pain, she looked at Lin Feng and said: "Master, this time it's clearly Blackheart Thunder's fault—why did you hit me?"

"Master, it's the silly flame's fault; Xiao Jiu is blameless."

Meanwhile, beside her, Xiao Jiu covered her painful buttocks, tears welling as she looked at her master.

However, Lin Feng, who had long understood their temperaments, ignored their words and directly admonished: "If you dare cause trouble again, I'll straighten out your hair and smack your buttocks until they swell."

"Also, Xiao Jiu, stop shocking them—if you keep going, the two men in your hands will be cooked enough to serve straight onto the table!"

As he spoke, Lin Feng pointed at the two people in Xiao Jiu's hands, who were electrocuted into stiff rigidity, their whole bodies turned pitch-black like overseas students from Africa, and he couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his eyes.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu, who had been feigning innocence, suddenly remembered that she still held two captured experimental subjects in her hands.

She promptly ceased her lightning output and then checked the two's condition.

Upon seeing that they were not in mortal danger, she finally let out a big sigh of relief.

After all, if she had electrocuted to death the persons her master had prepared to test medicine on,

that would be embarrassing.

"Holy shit, bandits, don't die on me! Otherwise, Miss Xiao Ling's buttocks will really suffer!"

As for Xiao Ling, she likewise stopped feigning pain and hurried over to examine the two.

And after confirming that the two experimental subjects were not in mortal danger, Xiao Ling likewise let out a big sigh of relief.

After all, if she messes up her master's experiment.

Then later, she'll guarantee she'll have an unforgettable "childhood"!

"Alas, these two girls are beyond saving."

Lin Feng, seeing the two calm down, also shook his head helplessly.

Then he flipped his palm, took out four pills, and ordered: "Give them the two pills—my modified healing medicine and the enhancement pill—each to take, see if they work, and report back to me."

After speaking, Lin Feng pushed the four pills toward the spot where Xiao Jiu was.

As for himself, he waved his hand, scooped up the herbs Xiao Ling had brought back, headed to a nearby spot to refine the pills, leaving only the two bewildered girls behind.

"Ahem, Heixin Lei, quickly keep their mouths open so I can push the pills in."

The scene fell silent for a moment, then Xiao Ling, coughing, spoke.

Hearing that, Xiao Jiu said expressionlessly, "Got it, Foolfire."

Mid‑sentence, the latter emitted a strand of golden thunder that shot straight to the facial acupoints, then electrified the mouths of the two in his hand.

"You talk too much, Heixin Lei!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ling used her vital energy to control the two pills, guiding each into a person's mouth while grinding her silver teeth in anger.

However, when Xiao Jiu, holding a person, saw the pills the former fed, she roared, "Foolfire, you're really setting a trap. Why are you looking at me? You gave the wrong pills. The enhancement pill that can promote a Dou Zong to the next stage should be taken after they regain consciousness and heal. Feeding it now to those unconscious, unable to refine such massive energy—are you trying to blow them up?!"

"Ahhh, I fed the wrong one! I feel my fire birth may end here this time!"

"You, big guy, quickly force the pills out of their bodies, heal their wounds, then feed them again!"

"."

Soon, the two flustered girls began a chaotic scramble in the sky, trying various tricks to fix the earlier mistake.

After all, if the enhancement pills run out, they wouldn't dare ask their master for more!

Otherwise, when their master discovers their mistake, their backsides will certainly suffer severe punishment.

Of course, the result of their rescue attempt is the experimental subjects Xiao Jiu captured, who were truly tormented.

If they had known earlier that their survival price was to endure the torment of these two "demons",

They probably would have chosen to self‑destruct when Xiao Jiu came to capture them.

Fortunately, after the two girls' frantic efforts, they finally forced the enhancement pill out.

Then they quickly shoved the healing medicine into the mouths of the two bandits to prevent their death.

"Again, you Jin Lei!?"

However, after their wounds were finally healed and the two bandits regained consciousness, they saw Xiao Jiu—the culprit who had previously beaten them mercilessly—and, terrified, they tried to turn and flee.

After all, they're not stupid; although they don't know what the blonde woman in front of them and the colorful‑haired woman beside her are plotting,

it's certainly not good news for them!

"Still want to run?"

At the same time, seeing the two girls Xiao Ling and the beautiful Xiao Jiu trying to flee, their expressions instantly turned grim.

After we two have struggled for so long, finally rescuing you two experimental subjects,

if you run away now, wouldn't all our previous effort be in vain?

"Just the right amount of anger with nowhere to vent— you two, meet your end!"

Then, the two—Xiao Ling and Xiao Jiu—who had already been fuming, instantly darted out together, rushing after the two runners.

Soon after, the two women, Xiao Ling and Xiao Jiu, each gently held an enhancement pill and kindly forced the two to swallow them again.

As for the two bandits who were battered but suffered no internal injuries,

they were forced, with no choice, to grit their teeth and swallow the pills the women offered, as if drinking pigeon broth.

"Hm?"

Immediately after, both of them shivered, then almost simultaneously exclaimed in astonishment, "What's happening, such massive pure essence!?"

"And this energy—could it be that premium mortal pill!"

But soon they recovered, immediately sat down in place, and focused on absorbing the massive Qi generated by the pills they had taken.

Although they didn't understand why the two women did this, making them swallow such high‑level pills they wouldn't dare look at,

they knew that the stronger they became, the more likely they'd escape from the women's grasp.

Thus, now they have only the path of refining the pills.

"Bang! Bang!"

After these two had absorbed an unknown length of time of Qi, in this barren, uninhabited dense forest, two pillars of light suddenly shot upward, reaching a hundred zhang into the sky.

Simultaneously, two powerful auras suddenly spread, instantly enveloping a thousand‑zhang area.

"Hahaha, we've advanced! We've finally broken through that damned bottleneck!"

Then, two figures shot upward from below, raising their hands excitedly, shouting, "We've broken through the lower three tribulations and ascended to the Heaven‑Responding Realm!"

"Hey, why are you screaming here?"

However, as the two ahead laughed wildly, the short Xiao Ling swiftly darted forward and rolled her eyes.

The look said, "How pathetic—just because you leveled up, you act like a fool, shouting loudly."

"Hm."

At the same time, those who heard their intense disgust froze their smiles, then their faces changed, and they lowered their heads.

Immediately, a flash of murderous hatred flickered in their eyes.

After a brief stare, the two bandits sneered, "You little scoundrels, we may not understand why you foolishly fed us such precious pills, but now we've ascended to the Heaven‑Responding Realm, gaining the ability to command heaven and earth in battle."

"Killing you two lower‑three‑tribulation cultivators is like killing chicks!"

Mid‑sentence, the two tilted their necks and smugly looked toward the opposite side at Xiao Ling.

After all, the gap between Heaven‑Responding Realm cultivators and lower‑three‑tribulation cultivators is truly enormous.

Cultivators who have reached the Heaven-Responding Realm need only mobilize the power of heaven and earth a little to directly overwhelm those of a lower major realm.

And this is why, after those two bandits advanced in rank, they became so arrogant toward each other.

"Pfft!"

However, just as the former finished speaking, a golden light flashed by, Xiao Jiu's figure flickered past, and immediately these two were torn to pieces.

"You talk too much; if it weren't for the master's need, Xiao Jiu would have killed you already."

At the same time those two died up ahead, Xiao Jiu flicked his hands in disdain, then stood a hundred zhang away, waiting for his master to emerge from seclusion.

"How did you kill them so quickly? I was still planning to have some fun."

Seeing the former instantly kill those two bandits, Xiao Ling immediately muttered a complaint.

Upon hearing that, Xiao Jiu glanced at the former and calmly said, "The master once said, even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses full strength; we must not be careless just because the opponent is weak."

While speaking, she immediately sat down in meditation where she was, waiting for Lin Feng to call her.

Upon hearing that, Xiao Ling could only wave her fists in the air a few times, then obediently stayed here waiting for her master to finish alchemy. (End of chapter)
