Chapter 91: Supreme Lingxue Pill!

At this time, Bibi Dong had completely set her sights on Lingxue Sacred Land.

Since Lingxue Sacred Land was recruiting, it was the perfect time to infiltrate as an undercover agent.

This Hu Liena, after her selection, was absolutely the best candidate.

"Lingxu, I will definitely dig out all your secrets!"

Bibi Dong thought that the reason Qian Renxue could progress so quickly was because her innate talent was extremely high.

Yet by Lingxu's side, Qian Renxue's cultivation speed was actually able to reach an even higher level.

However, this Lingxu's cultivation speed was even faster than Qian Renxue's.

Compared to Qian Renxue's innate level 20 talent, Lingxu only awakened with an innate level 7 soul power talent at the age of six.

There are secrets on Lingxu; he brought Qian Renxue to improve rapidly, and this also included his parents by his side—in a short time, he allowed Ling Bufan to increase his soul power by four levels, and Luo Xingyue even quickly became a Spirit Douluo.

There is also the method to allow ordinary people to become Spirit Masters, as well as the allegiance of these four powerful 100,000-year Spirit Masters; taken together, this is enough to show that there are unspeakable secrets about Lingxu.

……

At Lingxue Sacred Land, for the pill Lingxu formulated to treat Dugu Xin, he still added a drop of blood; in the original work, Tang San also treated Dugu Bo in this way.

If Dugu Bo were allowed to perform Ice and Fire Body Tempering directly, that could also purge the toxins.

But now that Lingxu has already undergone Ice and Fire Body Tempering, they no longer have this opportunity, and Lingxu himself possesses a constitution immune to all poisons.

His blood is the most useful; Lingxu formulated three pills in total.

The next day, after taking only one, it had a great effect on Dugu Xin.

His entire complexion recovered a lot, and it was clear that the toxins in his body had been alleviated.

Watching the changes in Dugu Xin, the heart that Dugu Bo had been hanging finally settled down quite a bit.

Dugu Bo said: "Thank you, Holy Master. For so many years, watching Xin'er suffer from the erosion of the Green Phosphorus Snake Poison, only today did you let me see hope. I am at ease with Xin'er staying at the Sacred Land; I will go search for a soul bone immediately."

Lingxu said: "Go ahead with peace of mind; Dugu Xin will absolutely be fine here with me."

"Thank you, Holy Master!" Dugu Bo thanked him again.

"Thank you, Holy Master!" Dugu Yan also bowed slightly to thank him.

"There are two more pills here. Before obtaining a soul bone, take one every half month, or take one when you are feeling uncomfortable. In a few days, I will send you some more." Lingxu handed over the medicine bottle.

Dugu Xin held the medicine with both hands and thanked him again.

When Lingxu left, Dugu Bo also set off.

Some people he knew in the past possessed soul bones; previously there were reasons why it was difficult or impossible to take them, but now, in order to save his son and granddaughter, he had to obtain soul bones.

Dugu Bo even found mercenary organizations after leaving Lingxue Sacred Land, offering high rewards to obtain corresponding soul bones.

Starting from two directions, Dugu Bo's journey to find soul bones began.

To gain the allegiance of Dugu Bo's family, Lingxu actually did not pay much.

Just some medicinal herbs for strengthening the foundation and cultivating the primordial spirit, plus a few drops of his blood.

Since Lingxu had to wait for Qian Renxue to go find a Spirit Ring together, Lingxu simply began to refine Lingxue Pill, while simultaneously collecting a large amount of medicinal herbs for refining Lingxue Pill on the market.

Of course, Lingxu would not collect everything; he would buy a portion, and for another portion, Lingxu would take some people to gather them personally.

For example, Sunset Forest, a paradise for plants, was very suitable.

However, the three most important and precious medicinal herbs inside were already abundant at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well previously, so Lingxu did not buy these, and they were also very difficult to buy.

Fortunately, he had previously planted them in large quantities at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

According to the growth speed triggered by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for medicinal herbs, barring any accidents, they would reach the standard for harvesting and medicinal use in five years.

Half a month later, Lingxu had collected a large amount of medicinal herbs and then began to refine Lingxue Pill.

There were twelve types of medicinal herbs needed for Lingxue Pill; the pill formula system had already given them to him, and of course, it also included detailed refining methods.

For the next month, Lingxu went into seclusion to begin refining pills.

The first day, three batches of pills were refined, all failed.

The second day, three batches of pills were refined, two failed, one succeeded, resulting in six pills.

Being able to successfully refine Lingxue Pill on the second day was enough to show that Lingxu's talent for alchemy was not bad.

The third day, three batches of pills were refined, one failed, two succeeded, resulting in sixteen pills; the quantity of successful pills was improving.

The fourth day, three batches of pills were refined, three succeeded, zero failures, resulting in twenty-three pills; the success rate reached one hundred percent!

……

The eighth day, four batches of pills were refined, all succeeded, resulting in forty-three pills.

……

The fifteenth day, five batches of pills were refined, all succeeded, resulting in fifty-eight pills.

……

The thirtieth day, five batches of pills were refined, all succeeded, resulting in sixty-five pills.

After one month of alchemy, Lingxu had basically exhausted those three most precious medicinal herbs; the next time he would obtain more, he would have to wait for nearly two years.

However, with thirty days of effort, Lingxu had successfully obtained 1,531 Lingxue Pills.

Adding the original remainder, the number of Lingxue Pills was nearly two thousand.

Two years' time, it would be enough.

And after two years, he would obtain more of those three most precious medicinal herbs; with his planting of those herbs, the harvest quantity at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would definitely be able to double.

That is to say, these medicinal herbs could refine over three thousand Lingxue Pills.

Actually, there was no need for too many Lingxue Pills; if there were too many pills, there might not be enough Spirit Masters qualified to take them.

Whew...

Lingxu walked out of the room where he was refining pills in seclusion; of course, this was actually the alchemy room of Lingxue Sacred Land. Since Lingxue Sacred Land appeared, the alchemy room was naturally equipped, and all basic conditions were available.

This was also the reason why Lingxu could refine so many Lingxue Pills so quickly.

Of course, Lingxu had spent this month refining pills without any cultivation, yet he had gained quite a lot, especially in Mental Power; Lingxu discovered that he could actually increase his Mental Power while refining pills.

Looking at his system panel, although his soul power had not increased, he had gained quite a bit in other aspects.

As expected, his Mental Power had risen to level 87, and the External Spirit Bone Golden Armor had utilized all the cultivation effects he had gained this month, successfully increasing its age by over six thousand years.

Furthermore, the number of members providing cultivation effects had reached three hundred and ninety-nine.

"Brother Lingxu, you've finally come out of seclusion!"

Just as he opened the door, Qian Renxue's voice came; she was seen cultivating not far from the door where he had been in seclusion, as if waiting for him to come out at any moment.

Lingxu said: "Xue'er, have you been waiting here for me the whole time?"

Qian Renxue stood up and trotted to Lingxu, saying: "I was just cultivating here as usual, and waiting for you to come out while I was at it, Brother Lingxu."

After speaking, Qian Renxue frowned.

"Brother Lingxu, you haven't bathed in a month, have you? There's a strong smell of medicine on you."

"Is that so?" Lingxu sniffed himself left and right, saying: "There is some smell, but it's alright."

Perhaps because he had stayed in the pill refining room for too long, Lingxu had already adapted to the smell on his body.

But not bathing for a month, his body indeed felt uncomfortable.

The intensity of pill refining this month had been very high, from three furnaces at the beginning to five furnaces a day later on, and he had devoted his whole heart and soul to it.

"Alright, then I'll go back and bathe!"

"En!" Qian Renxue nodded, then continued: "Yue'er is able to awaken her martial soul, and she said she was waiting for you to come out of seclusion; do you want to go over later?"

"Shui Yue'er can awaken her martial soul now? Time really flies," Lingxu said.

"It does, she's waiting specifically for you!"

"Sister Bing'er awakened with innate level nine soul power, and Sister Yue'er shouldn't be any worse," Qian Renxue said.

"Alright, let's go take a look," Lingxu said.

"En, then you go bathe first, Brother Lingxu, and I'll go notify Yue'er and the others."

After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she trotted away; Lingxu watched the departing Qian Renxue and also revealed a smile.

This little girl had actually waited foolishly outside his seclusion for a month; what was he to say about Qian Renxue?

Shaking his head helplessly, Lingxu also walked toward his residence.

Having not bathed for a month, the smell on his body was not light; after washing and changing into a set of clothes, he went with the waiting Qian Renxue to the place where Shui Yue'er was.

In the courtyard, everyone had gathered together.

Shui Qingfeng, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er, as well as Huo Yan's family of three—no, it shouldn't be three—as well as Feng Xiaotian and Feng Ming.

Of course, this also included Leng Yushuang and Xue Wu.

These few had basically joined during the same period, walked relatively closely with each other, and naturally had more contact.

They all wanted to come and see what kind of martial soul and innate soul power Shui Yue'er could awaken.

When Lingxu and Qian Renxue walked into the courtyard, everyone immediately bowed and said: "Greetings, Holy Master, Vice Saint Master."

Lingxu said: "No need for formalities!"

Qian Renxue said: "Yue'er, you can begin awakening your martial soul."

"En!" Shui Yue'er nodded.

Then she stood in the center; the one awakening her martial soul was Shui Qingfeng.

It was just that what made Lingxu feel strange was that for both Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, their mothers had not come; since they hadn't come, Lingxu did not ask.

The martial soul began to awaken, and the first to appear was Shui Yue'er's martial soul.

Just like in the original story, there was no change at all; the martial soul was the Yingyu Dolphin, and in terms of the quality of the martial soul, it was naturally far inferior to Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix martial soul.

At this point, everyone could actually guess that Shui Yue'er's innate soul power was likely not as good as Shui Bing'er's.

In fact, Shui Qingfeng also knew that Shui Yue'er's mother's martial soul was even worse than his own; by comparison, Shui Bing'er's mother's martial soul was the Ice Phoenix.

Taken as a whole, awakening the Yingyu Dolphin martial soul was already her best result.

Next was the soul power test, and the final result was also about what was expected.

Shui Yue'er's soul power was innate level six, three levels worse than Shui Bing'er's.

Do not underestimate this three-level gap in innate soul power; the difference in their cultivation speed was not small.

In the original novel, during the Advanced Soul Master Competition, Shui Bing'er could reach level 43, while Shui Yue'er seemed to only have level 36 soul power.

At this moment, the gap had widened from three levels of soul power to seven levels of soul power, and the further one cultivated, the harder it became; this widening gap was enough to illustrate the difference in talent between innate level nine and innate level six.

Knowing this result, it was clear that Shui Yue'er was still a little unhappy.

Just as the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, Lingxu took the initiative to say, "Actually, innate level six is not bad either; wasn't I only innate level seven back then?"

"Eating this Lingxue Pill should make it better," Lingxu said.

In fact, he was helping Shui Yue'er; the Lingxue Pill could not only increase soul power to a certain extent but also improve one's talent.

And this Lingxue Pill that Lingxu took out was one of the highest quality among those he had refined.

The key was that the medicinal herbs Lingxu used for this batch of refining were excellent; all three medicinal herbs were of extremely high age.

After all, they had already grown in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a very long time.

Even for the ones refined later, Lingxu used ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs.

Fortunately, Lingxu's pill-refining techniques had improved significantly by this time, and there were many pills refined from ten-thousand-year-old herbs—a total of two hundred and six, all with ten-thousand-year-old herbs as the main ingredients, and Lingxu had chosen the best for the remaining auxiliary herbs as well.

Actually, by giving it to Shui Yue'er, Lingxu also wanted to test the effects of this Lingxue Pill.

"Okay!" Shui Yue'er nodded.

At this moment, Qian Renxue took the initiative to say, "Let me help you."

When practicing the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art, it is best to have someone help when taking the Lingxue Pill; since Qian Renxue offered, no one dared to compete with her.

It was just that when everyone looked at this Lingxue Pill, they were also a bit curious, as this Lingxue Pill seemed different from before.

Shui Yue'er took the Lingxue Pill, and Qian Renxue assisted.

However, this wait lasted from the morning until the sun set in the afternoon.

When Shui Yue'er finished practicing the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art, she stood up and bowed to thank Lingxu and Qian Renxue: "Thank you, Holy Master, Vice Saint Master."

Lingxu smiled and said, "Now, test your soul power again."

"Okay!" Shui Yue'er nodded.

At this moment, she knew her soul power had increased a lot, but she had no concept of exactly how much.

When Shui Yue'er placed her hand on the soul power testing crystal, her soul power was measured very quickly.

"It actually increased directly to level ten soul power! My god, this Lingxue Pill actually has such an effect," everyone exclaimed.

For Spirit Masters, especially those with low soul power, previous Lingxue Pills could basically only increase soul power by one level, and very rarely by two levels.

For ordinary people, it was very effective for mutated martial souls, and other ordinary people could also stimulate some potential and improve a lot.

But no Spirit Master had ever increased their soul power by four levels at once like Shui Yue'er.

"I have level ten soul power?" Shui Yue'er felt as if she were dreaming.

"That's right, little sister, you can immediately absorb a Spirit Ring and become a Spirit Master," Shui Bing'er looked at Shui Yue'er happily, genuinely happy for her.

Reaching level ten soul power, Shui Yue'er's previous unhappiness vanished, meaning she was now similar to her sister Shui Bing'er, at least not falling too far behind.

Qian Renxue said, "Brother Lingxu, this wouldn't be what you refined during your thirty days of seclusion, would it? It's different from the previous Lingxue Pills."

Lingxu smiled and said, "This is not an ordinary Lingxue Pill; it is a Top-grade Lingxue Pill, refined using ten-thousand-year-old herbs. The previous ones were all refined with hundred-year-old herbs, so they count as ordinary Lingxue Pills."

"Then what about those refined with thousand-year-old herbs?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

"They are called Superior Lingxue Pills. By the way, you can all take another one of these Top-grade Lingxue Pills."

"The effect can not only increase soul power but also improve potential to a certain extent and boost the cultivation speed of the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art, but the quantity is small, and the cost of refining this is extremely high, so people in the Shengdi who have a need can exchange for them using Gold Soul Coins and Shengdi contribution points, and they must be consumed on the spot after exchange," Lingxu announced on the spot.

Ordinary Lingxue Pills had already been given to them, but if they wanted Superior or Top-grade Lingxue Pills, they would have to pay a price; it was impossible to provide them unconditionally forever.
