Chapter 274: The Method of Lei Lian

"So many space-attribute materials..." After receiving Lin Jing's list, Xu Qingyao browsed through it.

"Are you planning to cultivate a space pet beast?" She put the list away, her gaze falling on Lin Jing. She was quite understanding; at Lin Jing's level, only the space attribute was worthy of him.

As for the Mosquito Woman, although she was the first demon clan member of the current age and could command mosquito swarms, she could be mass-produced in the future, and there would be more and more talented demon clan members born; there was absolutely no scarcity. But space-type creatures were different.

"Yes, I obtained a design drawing of a space turtle that can develop intelligence from the Divine Machine Villa of the Ancient Kingdom. These are the materials to manufacture it. However, I cannot be sure whether the Beast Taming Technique can contract this kind of mechanical life... Let's try it," Lin Jing said.

Well, this can also be mass-produced...

Senior Sister shook her head and said: "I estimate it won't work. Don't have too high expectations, because after arriving in Qingzhou, I tried it. The Beast Taming Technique can only contract demon beasts; it cannot even contract grass and wood life. Like mechanical beasts or artifact spirits, I estimate it's even less feasible."

"After all, this Beast Taming Technique is a technique practiced by the servants who raised demon beasts in the Ancient Immortal Palace. In essence, it is still aimed at demon beasts. Although our Beast Taming Sect seniors later improved the Beast Taming Technique to a certain extent, it did not deviate much from the original version."

"The limit of the Beast Taming Technique's contract is estimated to be creatures like the Ice Soul Gu. Although the Ten Great Strange Gu have also become special life forms, their essence at the beginning was still various poisonous insects, which can also be considered demon beasts. However, things like mechanical beasts are almost unrelated to demon beasts."

"But it's not absolute. Since the seniors of the Beast Taming Sect could improve the Beast Taming Technique, perhaps you can too," Xu Qingyao smiled and said. "After all, you have even researched the transformation method, have entered the Bodhi Cave Heaven, and practice the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique. Improving a technique should not be a problem for you."

"Spiritual plants, demon beasts, artifact souls, corpse puppets, mechanical strange beasts, spell elementals... Perhaps, by then, you will be able to contract all of them as pet beasts!"

Lin Jing chuckled and said, "I'll borrow your auspicious words, Senior Sister."

The reason Lin Jing was not 100% sure that the mechanical turtle was the next pet beast to be contracted at the Golden Core stage was that he had no way to judge whether he could ultimately contract it. As Senior Sister said, it was not a pure demon beast life.

However, even if he couldn't contract it, it didn't matter. The reason he wanted to contract a mechanical beast was not because contracting a mechanical beast could bring him great benefits; it was purely because he had an affinity with mechanical arts, and the other party had accompanied him for a not-so-short time. He felt that if he contracted a mechanical beast, it might be very interesting, without strong utilitarianism.

As for the technique improvement Senior Sister mentioned, it was indeed a path.

Many cultivators might not have very high-grade cultivation techniques when they first come into contact with them. After cultivating to a certain level, they are no longer suitable for themselves, but they don't

want to switch techniques or disperse their cultivation and start over. At this time, they will choose another path.

That is to improve the technique they are cultivating.

However, those who can do this are few and far between, and all require a certain amount of talent and passion.

After returning to the cave dwelling, Lin Jing began to prepare for the Alchemy Gathering two years later. This Alchemy Gathering was a pill-making competition; he certainly couldn't directly take the Transformation Grass to participate.

He had to refine the Transformation Grass into a Transformation Pill to reduce the difficulty of using the Transformation Grass!

In fact, during this period, Lin Jing already had a certain idea about how to change the effect of the Transformation Grass.

To make the mutated Transformation Grass effective for higher-level demon beasts, he had to improve the quality of the mutated Transformation Grass. This point could be achieved through two methods.

One is to improve the quality of the Transformation Grass through external forces, such as transferring the mutated Transformation Grass to a special treasure land for secondary growth.

The other is that quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Through a large amount of mutated Transformation Grass, he could extract their essence through alchemy and concentrate countless essences into one portion, thereby improving the effect. This is a common means in alchemy to improve the effect of low-level spiritual plants.

If Lin Jing had to choose, he would definitely choose the second one. However, under the current Heavenly Dao rules, the production of ordinary Transformation Grass is extremely low. Even if the Demon Court has a special Demon Emperor responsible for cultivation, the Transformation Grass produced is not much. Relying solely on Senior Sister's provision, he estimates it might not be enough; she would need to snatch the shares of the other two Holy Ladies.

"But improving the grade of the Transformation Pill is not urgent for now. In the Alchemy Gathering, as long as it is demonstrated that the Transformation Pill has the effect of transformation, it is fine. What level of demon beast it can transform is not the key in the short term."

"The key is how to let most low-level demon beasts withstand the heavenly tribulation! Or rather, exempt them from the heavenly tribulation! Only in this way can it be successfully demonstrated..."

"I don't know if this method will work." When Lin Jing was deducing through the Hidden Dragon Qi Luck, a method emerged as the times required.

This method combined Lin Jing's existing conditions and some memories from his previous life deep in his brain.

In his previous life, he had seen many internet novels and film and television works, all-encompassing. In some works, when some extremely heaven-defying pills were refined, they would attract pill tribulations. Only pills that survived the pill tribulation were considered completely finished.

But in this Heaven Origin Continent, this situation seemed to have never appeared. There were no records, and there was no precedent for any pill to attract a thunder tribulation.

So Lin Jing's final deduction result was to refine pills with thunder. Through a special alchemy technique, when the pill was formed, he would attract the pill tribulation heavenly thunder to fall, letting the pill bear a portion of the heavenly condemnation for the user.

Through the tempering of the heavenly tribulation, the side effects of the pill would be reduced.

Just like the side effect of taking Transformation Grass is that it will attract a transformation heavenly tribulation. But if through the method of thunder refining, the Transformation Pill refined from the Transformation Grass bears a portion of the heavenly tribulation power itself, perhaps

it could reduce the burden on the user.

The path of transformation is now inherently going against the heavens. Whether it is people or things, they are part of going against the heavens; there is no reason for demon beasts to bear the price alone.

However, relatively speaking, if the Transformation Pill itself cannot survive the pill tribulation, then the pill will also be destroyed, wasting a portion of materials.

Through the way of risk transfer, he would share the difficulty of demon transformation. As for whether doing this would reduce the effect of demon transformation, Lin Jing did not know for the time being.

"It just so happens that I obtained the fire born from the heavenly tribulation in the Qilin race, the Heavenly Thunder Flame. Now the Long Li has completely refined it. With this Heavenly Thunder Flame, I don't know if I can attract a weak heavenly thunder to temper the Transformation Pill."

The method of pill tribulation thunder refining was the method Lin Jing thought of that might weaken the side effects of the Transformation Grass. This time, taking a different path, he no longer needed to add other materials to neutralize, nor did it involve pharmacology, but started from the alchemy technique. For Lin Jing and Long Li, it was a huge challenge. After all, they currently only had two years to research this method of thunder refining.

No, to be precise, it was eleven years. After all, one year could be spent in the Sandglass of Time, equivalent to ten years... ===== CHAPTER 275 =====
