Chapter 141: Fox Blood Pill

Ever since discovering that purified medicinal liquid could produce pills of higher potency, Jerry began researching purification techniques.

Jerry named the current pill the Fox Blood Pill; its function is to enhance fox bloodlines, though it would be more accurate to call it a concentrated pellet.

Because Jerry experimented with other medicinal liquids using this method—such as the recovery liquid previously researched by Chrysanthemum Douluo through plant extraction—the results were not what Jerry wanted; the liquid did not condense into a pill but evaporated directly.

Jerry noticed that each type of pill requires a different temperature, so for now, he can only try them one by one.

During purification, Jerry also thought of distillation, as he had previously used the distillation method to increase the concentration of alcohol.

But it did not work on medicinal liquid; in the medicinal liquid mixture, the part containing the medicinal efficacy has a relatively high boiling point, so in the end, he only distilled a basin of distilled water, while the medicinal liquid and impurities in the pot remained mixed together. It seems he can only improve the filtration device.

The previous filtration device was made on the fly, but this time Jerry directly ground charcoal into powder, then carefully selected coarse sand, fine sand, cotton, and gauze, finally creating a filtration device with over a dozen layers.

He made twenty of these filtration devices directly; since the technology is limited, he relies on quantity to win.

Under the action of this set of filtration devices, the initially reddish-brown medicinal liquid was actually filtered into a transparent liquid.

Next was to reduce these transparent medicinal liquids to obtain a relatively thick medicinal liquid.

Finally, he put these thick medicinal liquids into the alchemy furnace and slowly heated and baked them.

This time, the surface of the medicinal liquid did not burn; it first slowly began to crystallize, and as the temperature rose, these crystals slowly melted again. Finally, Jerry used his Divine Sense to divide them into ten small pills of the same size, then slowly cooled them, finally obtaining ten marble-sized pills.

This batch of pills was clearly much better than before; they looked crystal clear and even reflected a colorful light when facing the sun. It would be more descriptive to call them marbles than pills.

Jerry felt that this pill was now entirely composed of energy, without seeing a single impurity.

After checking the medicinal efficacy, it reached ten times the original.

Subsequently, Jerry brought over the little white fox; he did not feed the little white fox a whole pill directly but cut one in half to feed it. After eating the pill, the little white fox appeared very happy.

Jerry took a look, and sure enough, after the pill entered the little white fox's body, there was no wildness at all, and it was absorbed very quickly, so he felt relieved and then fed the other half to the little white fox as well.

The little white fox chirped happily; it could feel that this thing was beneficial to it.

It seemed that after being made into a pill like this, it was easier to absorb. Subsequently, Jerry adjusted the ratio of the medicinal liquid according to this method.

He eventually refined a Fox Blood Pill with one-fold efficacy, and subsequently researched the two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine-fold versions.

He found nine three-tailed foxes outside and had them take the one to nine-fold pills respectively.

Not a single one had an accident, only the three foxes that took the seven, eight, and nine-fold pills absorbed it with difficulty and it took a relatively long time; there were no other accidents.

Afterward, Jerry began to experiment with the effect of adding fox blood with different numbers of tails on the pills: one-tailed fox blood up to one-fold, two-tailed fox blood up to four-fold, three-tailed fox blood up to ten-fold, four-tailed unknown, five-tailed fox blood up to twenty-two-fold, six-tailed fox blood up to thirty-one-fold, seven-tailed unknown, eight-tailed unknown.

As for nine-tailed, Jerry originally intended to try refining it with Hu Liena's blood, but the calculated multiplier was quite high, and it is not needed now, so he will not waste it for the time being.

Jerry took a one-fold Fox Blood Pill and gave it to a Spirit Master with a Three-tailed Fox Spirit to take. After this Spirit Master took it, there were no abnormalities, and it was also very easy to absorb.

Subsequently, Jerry took out two-fold and three-fold Fox Blood Pills for this Spirit Master to take, and there were no abnormalities.

Finally, when taking the four-fold Fox Blood Pill, this Spirit Master did not absorb it so smoothly; it took three hours to finish absorbing one pill. It seems that the human body is indeed much weaker than that of a Soul Beast.

Although it took three hours to absorb, the effect was much better than before, and the cultivation level even improved a little bit.

Subsequently, he arranged for ten more Spirit Masters to start absorbing the pills, and there were no problems.

It was time for large-scale use; he called the previous one hundred Spirit Masters and two Elders and let them start absorbing the pills suitable for them.

Jerry did not forget the Minister of the Education Department, Yu Shu, whose martial soul is a six-tailed fire fox; there are simply too many things in education, and she has never had time.

But after Jerry arranged it personally this time, it saved her a lot of time, and he also arranged for her to come and cultivate with Jerry.

As expected of a six-tailed fire fox martial soul, she could directly absorb the thirty-one-fold Fox Blood Pill refined from six-tailed fox blood, and this multiplier had not yet reached the upper limit.

After arranging the matters at the Spirit Hall, Jerry returned to the Soul Beast Forest and devoted himself to the life of alchemy.

After all, only Jerry can perform alchemy now; although this alchemy process is not complicated and one can perform alchemy by using Divine Sense to manipulate objects, he has not taught it to others yet, mainly because those whose Divine Sense meets the standard now all have many things to do.

During this period, as Jerry fed the pills, one three-tailed fox finally began to evolve; the process was fast, and after evolution, it became a four-tailed one.

A four-tailed fox finally appeared; looking back, more than half a year has passed since he started breeding foxes, and only one four-tailed fox has appeared. It is too difficult; human Spirit Master martial soul evolution to four tails does not take this long.

Subsequently, Jerry drew some four-tailed fox blood and refined Fox Blood Pills, up to fifteen-fold.

This also supplemented Jerry's research data; otherwise, leaving the four-tailed data blank—although Jerry does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder—just felt uncomfortable to look at.

As for the research on Fox Blood Pills, it can only go this far for now; it is unknown when seven-tailed and eight-tailed foxes can be bred.

However, refining the Fox Blood Pill this time allowed Jerry to have a great improvement in his insights into alchemy.

Jerry is preparing to try to see if he can refine pills that improve cultivation; after all, Fox Blood Pills can only enhance bloodlines, and only Spirit Masters with fox martial souls can take them, which is too restrictive. If he could refine a type of pill that everyone could take to improve cultivation, this would be a major contribution to the entire human society.

To refine pills that improve cultivation, then he certainly cannot add Soul Beast blood anymore; he can only use medicinal herbs.

Although the Encyclopedia of Plants that Master Chrysanthemum Douluo previously gave Jerry recorded many plants with medicinal efficacy, the specific, more detailed medicinal efficacy was not recorded; this requires Jerry to research it himself.

Blue Silver Grass has tenacious vitality, comes with Healing and Detoxification abilities, and is numerous and grows fast.

These ordinary ones, of course, have no medicinal efficacy; at the very least, they must be ten-year ones.

The age in this world refers to the cultivation of the Soul Beast, not that it has actually grown for ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years.

So Jerry is also not sure whether a ten-year Soul Beast Blue Silver Grass can have the medicinal efficacy of a ten-year medicinal herb; this needs to be tried.

In the end, Jerry was very disappointed; the ten-year Soul Beast Blue Silver Grass did not have much medicinal efficacy.

No wonder this world has not researched pills; even for thousand-year Blue Silver Grass, the medicinal efficacy is very trace; without medicinal efficacy, how can one research pills?

No wonder a pile of medicinal herbs was used in the previous Medicinal Bath; it turns out it was also relying on quantity to increase medicinal efficacy!

When a Soul Beast's cultivation reaches a certain age, it will release skills, and its own medicinal value is not high.

Ordinary herbs go without saying; the medicinal efficacy is minimal.

The idea is there, but the materials are restricted. If a large amount of medicinal herbs is used, it undoubtedly increases many steps, and the more steps there are, the more problems will arise.

Anyone who encounters this kind of thing would have a headache, right?

Jerry remembers that the fruits of many trees can also be used to refine medicine; subsequently, Jerry looked for fruit trees in the forest. He found the fruit trees, but although ordinary fruit trees bear fruit, the fruits are also very ordinary.

And after becoming a Soul Beast, they no longer bear fruit, because bearing fruit consumes their own cultivation, so they simply do not bear fruit at all.

Sigh! Hitting walls everywhere!
