Chapter 73: Refining Pills, Stepping into the Fifth Rank!

Although they had moved into a new, large villa, the rooms were more numerous and also more spacious than before.

Yet, the lives of the four of them remained no different from before.

Yi Zimeng and Hu Xiaoxiao still each had their own room, with no changes from before.

However, even though there were spare rooms, Lin Xue'er still insisted on sleeping with Luo Shuiyan.

In Lin Xue'er's own words, it was because the two of them had been together for a long time.

She could no longer be apart from Luo Shuiyan, and refused to sleep alone no matter what.

Furthermore, because Jiang Che was truly too cute, Lin Xue'er had to hold Jiang Che for a while every day before she could fall asleep.

But compared to Lin Xue'er's somewhat bony figure, Jiang Che still preferred to return to where Luo Shuiyan was.

So, every night when sleeping until the middle of the night, Jiang Che would always, without realizing it, roll back onto Luo Shuiyan's body.

During the day, Luo Shuiyan still did not go to class, only cultivating at home.

Lin Xue'er and the other two, however, still had to take their respective Spirit Beasts to the academy for class.

Now that they were closer to the academy, the three of them did not have to rush on the road like before.

After testing their strength, Jiang Bingning no longer had any other thoughts about Luo Shuiyan not coming to class.

After all, for such a peerless genius, it was already too late to put her on a pedestal; whether she came to class or not no longer mattered.

And when evening came, the three little ones, including Little Tiger, would bring many Spirit Beasts to run into the villa's courtyard.

These Spirit Beasts had all heard of Jiang Che's strength and had come specifically to join Jiang Che!

Jiang Che now had more and more underlings under his command, involving all kinds of Spirit Beasts.

Three days later, Luo Shuiyan opened her eyes from her cultivation, stretched, and found Jiang Che.

"Xiaobai, take out some of those Spirit Fruit from your space for me; I am preparing to refine some medicinal pills."

"Finally going to refine pills? That's great!"

Hearing these words from Luo Shuiyan, Jiang Che's eyes immediately lit up.

Although these Spirit Fruit were rare in variety and had very long ages.

But eating them directly had too low a refining efficiency and would waste quite a bit of medicinal potency.

For the current Jiang Che, the boost brought by eating Spirit Fruit directly was no longer obvious enough.

Continuing to eat them like this would be a bit wasteful.

Without a second word, Jiang Che directly tossed out a large pile of Spirit Fruit from his space.

For a time, the entire villa was filled with glowing light and flying fragrance.

Smelling the fragrance of the Spirit Fruit, Jiang Che could not help but swallow his saliva.

However, in order to break through to a higher cultivation, he still held back, waiting for Luo Shuiyan to refine the pills.

Possessing memories from her past life, Luo Shuiyan's pill-refining techniques were extremely seasoned.

Her skills were very superb; she did not even need a pill furnace.

One could see Luo Shuiyan sitting cross-legged on the ground, with crimson flames rising directly from her right hand.

Immediately after, the Spirit Fruit were tossed into her palm one by one, being refined and fused according to different temperatures and times! For a time, the entire villa was flickering with bursts of firelight.

Lin Xue'er and the other two, who had just returned to the villa, were startled by the activity inside and thought a fire had broken out.

When the three of them discovered that it was actually Luo Shuiyan gathering fire with her palm to refine pills, they were all so surprised their mouths hung open! In the following two days, Luo Shuiyan was constantly refining medicinal pills.

The bursts of pill fragrance filled the room, refreshing and making one feel as if they were floating like an immortal.

Jiang Che could not help but sigh that it was fortunate the Wang Family had gifted them a villa.

If they were in an apartment, such a dense medicinal fragrance would likely attract the attention of many people with ulterior motives.

In the evening, Luo Shuiyan finally extinguished the flames in her palm, stored the last medicinal pill away properly, and then stretched.

At this time, Lin Xue'er and the other two had just returned from the academy. "You came back just in time; come, come, everyone, come collect your pills."

Luo Shuiyan handed several porcelain white and cyan medicine bottles to Lin Xue'er and the other two.

"These are the Spirit Origin Pill, Muscle and Bone Pill, and Blood Forging Pill that I refined using the Spirit Fruit."

"The Spirit Origin Pill can help everyone break through their cultivation, while the Blood Forging Pill and Muscle and Bone Pill can strengthen our physiques."

"Although Beast Tamers rely on Spirit Beasts to fight, one's own physical fitness is also extremely important during battle."

"Especially in the later stages, the Beast Tamer's own combat power is also the key to victory."

Hearing these words from Luo Shuiyan, the three of them nodded in deep agreement.

Previously in the Secret Realm, they had seen with their own eyes Luo Shuiyan's formidable combat power! As for what the few Spirit Beasts received, they were Intermediate Beast Spirit Pill, which could continuously strengthen their own bloodline power.

Taking the pills from Luo Shuiyan, Jiang Che swallowed them directly.

While the others were still refining the medicinal power, Jiang Che simply fell asleep.

With the Lying Flat System, there was no need for Jiang Che to spend any effort cultivating himself.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for becoming the hegemon of a mid-level force... a total of 40,000 experience points rewarded!"

After a month's time, through Little Tiger's diligent efforts, Jiang Che's underlings had reached three hundred Spirit Beasts.

The Entry prompted by the system had also changed from a primary force to a mid-level force.

"Tsk tsk tsk, nowadays I'm afraid about half of the Spirit Beasts among the freshmen in the Ordinary Class have been taken in as my underlings."

The corners of Jiang Che's mouth could not help but turn up.

Such results were something even he had not expected; it had to be said that Little Tiger had truly done a great job as the propaganda committee member.

"Regardless, I have three hundred underlings now, so it's time to pick a name..."

Immediately, Jiang Che called Little Tiger over.

"Xiaohu, our force should have a name; I've decided, let's call it the Zhatian Gang!"

"As for you, in consideration of how hard you've worked, I will appoint you as the Hall Master of Weihu Hall!"

"Awoo! Thank you, Boss!!"

Having been appointed as a hall master by Jiang Che, Little Tiger was incredibly excited.

He couldn't help but roar a few times, truly possessing the majesty of a tiger king!

After sending Little Tiger away, Jiang Che opened his own attribute panel.

"My current level is 39, and my experience points have accumulated to 550,000."

"At this rate, I estimate I can break through to level 40 in another two or three days!"

Jiang Che nodded to himself; he would soon be able to break through to a Fifth-tier Spirit Beast.

In this world, a Fifth-tier Spirit Beast can already be considered a major figure.

In a small city like Jianghai, King-level Beast Tamers are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

During this time, Luo Shuiyan and the other three also relied on the power of medicinal pills to greatly improve their strength.

Luo Shuiyan is now a One-Star Spirit Grade Beast Tamer.

Yi Zimeng is a Four-Star Advanced Beastmaster, while Hu Xiaoxiao has broken through to a Five-Star Advanced Beastmaster.

Even Lin Xue'er, the weakest among them, has not fallen too far behind in cultivation speed because she received an Ancient Inheritance.

Now she is also a Three-Star Advanced Beastmaster.

If it weren't for the fact that they were overshadowed by the monstrously talented Luo Shuiyan, Lin Xue'er and the other two would also be extremely dazzling existences within Tianque Academy.
