Chapter 140: Refining Medicinal Pills

Following the discovery that high-concentration medicinal liquid could improve bloodlines, Jerry added the liquid to the food he fed these foxes over the next period of time.

However, these were all medicinal liquids made from the blood of three-tailed foxes; there was no helping it, as three-tailed fox blood was the easiest to obtain right now.

After a period of feeding, many one-tailed foxes evolved into two-tailed ones. This evolution caused quite a stir among the group of foxes, so these newly evolved two-tailed foxes were surrounded and watched by other foxes that came flocking over.

Because in the understanding of this group of foxes, one should have three tails after evolving; now that one tail was missing, this had never happened before, so they were all very curious.

As more and more foxes evolved to two tails, Jerry also discovered that among the litters born to two-tailed foxes, most were two-tailed, a very small number would appear as three-tailed, and there were also some one-tailed ones.

However, the occurrence of three-tailed ones was too rare; there was a chance for offspring with higher bloodlines, but it was uncommon.

Among the offspring born to these three-tailed foxes, most were three-tailed, while some regressed to two-tailed or one-tailed. Four-tailed foxes had not yet appeared; it seemed the population was still too small.

The improvement of a Soul Beast's cultivation can drive physical development, so Jerry renovated the Xiulianchang to be larger, ensuring that these foxes could all live within the Xiulianchang; this could allow the foxes to grow faster and accelerate their reproduction.

The Gravity Field is also very helpful for Soul Beast Cultivation, but seeing that the little white fox could not bear it when the gravity started to increase by onefold, and many of the foxes outside were newborns, Jerry set the multiplier of the Zhonglixiulianchang to one decimal place this time.

On the first day, Jerry adjusted the Gravity Field to increase gravity by 0.1 times; many foxes felt it, but it did not affect their activities, so they didn't pay it any mind and continued to eat and drink every day.

Once this group of foxes adapted, he began to slowly increase the gravity. It must be said that the adaptability of Soul Beast bodies is much stronger than that of humans; within a week, they had all adapted to 1 time the gravity.

Perhaps because of the increased gravity, these foxes consumed more physical strength during their usual movements, so they clearly ate more.

Eating more meant absorbing more, and the phenomenon of evolution began again. This time, many two-tailed foxes evolved into three-tailed ones, while the three-tailed foxes still showed no reaction.

Jerry separated these foxes for feeding; they could no longer be kept together, because three-tailed foxes could clearly eat food mixed with a higher concentration of medicinal liquid.

Jerry's little white fox was almost about to break through to a hundred years today.

As the little white fox broke through, it cried out loudly. Many foxes nearby ran over to watch, but none went up to help, because they all knew that a breakthrough could only rely on oneself.

For some reason, when the little white fox broke through, it was clearly more painful and took longer than when other foxes broke through.

Jerry could not bear to watch and cast a Healing skill on the little white fox.

Once the Healing skill was cast, it seemed to accelerate the speed of evolution, and the little white fox was in even more pain.

Good intentions led to bad results!

"Little white fox, hold on, it will pass soon! You must hold on!" Jerry was incredibly nervous now. Originally, the little white fox was evolving on its own, the speed was not fast, and it could endure the pain; Jerry's acceleration had intensified the pain, causing the little white fox to roar incessantly now.

In the end, the little white fox persisted and broke through to a hundred years; its bloodline also evolved, directly evolving to five tails, but the little white fox was at death's door at this moment.

Jerry hurried over, took the little white fox into his arms, and used both Healing and Recovery skills on it.

After the little white fox recovered, it whimpered in Jerry's arms, its five large tails brushing across Jerry's face; it was truly comfortable and fluffy.

Now with five tails, they were larger than the little white fox's body; it must be very comfortable to hold while sleeping.

After the evolution of the little white fox, the concentration of the medicinal liquid also needed to be increased.

At this moment, Jerry suddenly discovered a problem: there was an upper limit to the increase in medicinal liquid concentration. Currently, it could not be increased beyond 500%, which was a maximum increase of five times. At this point, the medicinal liquid felt a bit thick and viscous, looking a bit difficult to swallow!

The little fox liked to eat honey, so Jerry directly mixed this thick medicinal liquid with honey for the little white fox to eat.

The fivefold concentration of medicinal liquid did not reach the little white fox's upper limit.

Jerry immediately began to study this fivefold medicinal liquid again; this time, he used high-temperature roasting for purification.

He had tried heating it in a pot before, but it all ended up burnt.

So this time, he tried the roasting method, using his Divine Sense to hold the medicinal liquid directly, placing it in a container that looked a bit like an oven.

He used a large fire to roast the outside of the container.

The idea was good, but the result was still burnt.

Suddenly, Jerry thought of the alchemy furnace of TaiShangLaoJun; it seemed they all had vents and were not completely airtight.

Following the shape of the alchemy furnace in his mind, Jerry directly forged an alchemy furnace.

Subsequently, Jerry began to heat the medicinal liquid. Sure enough, the effect was much better this time; it did not burn. As Jerry slowly increased the flame temperature—120 degrees, 130 degrees... finally, when it increased to 300 degrees, these viscous medicinal liquids finally reacted, and the moisture inside seemed to be evaporating.

After these things, which he didn't know if they were moisture, evaporated, the originally viscous medicinal liquid became a bit like brown sugar. Jerry took a little out and put it on his hand; it could be kneaded and deformed.

Suddenly thinking of something, Jerry rolled all these brown-sugar-like substances into small balls.

Jerry tried it; even though it had become a brown-sugar state, the concentration inside was still about 5 times; it just changed the original mushy state into the current state of a pill.

This was not the effect Jerry wanted. He took out ten pills and continued to heat them in the alchemy furnace. At the same time, Jerry also began to increase the temperature—400 degrees, 500 degrees... finally, when it was increased directly to 1600 degrees, these pills rolled from the brown-sugar state began to show signs of melting.

As the pills began to melt, suddenly the surface of the pills began to burn.

Watching these pills burn, Jerry did not move. After a while, the pills shrank and became crystal clear. What burned before should have been the impurities in the pills; after they were all burned away, they stopped burning.

Jerry suddenly realized; how could he have forgotten that impurities need to be filtered out during purification? Many of the auxiliary materials were medicinal herbs. At first, they were boiled together as medicinal liquid. When looking closely, there were many impurities inside. Before, he thought they were all medicinal herbs, and they were for Soul Beasts to drink, while Spirit Masters used them for Medicinal Bath, so he didn't find any problems.

Now, under accidental circumstances, he had refined a pill, so it needed to be purified properly.

Moreover, the previous method of boiling in a large pot was too crude: first adding water, boiling until the medicinal efficacy dissolved into the water, then reducing the liquid over a high fire, and finally obtaining some medicinal liquid with a higher concentration.

However, now a filtering process needed to be added. Don't ask why he didn't just put the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace to roast; Jerry had tried it, and they were burned until not even dregs were left.

He briefly made a filtering device: one layer of cotton, the second layer of gauze, the third layer of charcoal, the fourth layer with another layer of gauze, the fifth layer of fine sand, and the sixth layer with another layer of gauze. (It really can filter, don't believe me? Go try it!)

During filtering, the medicinal liquid seeped down from the sixth layer, layer by layer, and finally dripped into the container below.

This time, after the medicinal liquid was filtered once, it was clearly much cleaner, but there were still some impurities, so Jerry filtered it repeatedly several times until even Jerry could not detect any impurities before stopping.

Since it had to be filtered repeatedly anyway, Jerry made nine more filtering devices and connected them directly for use. This way, he didn't have to filter repeatedly one by one; it saved time and effort and was much more convenient.

However, the medicinal liquid finally obtained still burned when refined into a pill, proving that there were still impurities inside.

Moreover, the effect of this pill had improved, reaching about 7 times.

If he could continue to purify the medicinal liquid, the final effect might be even better. Looking at the filtering device in front of him, Jerry fell into deep thought. He had learned too little in his past life; he only knew this simple filtering method. How he regretted not having learned more when he needed it!
