Chapter 983: Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill (First update, requesting everything)

Wisps of medicinal fragrance drifted out once more from the many holes in the Liandalu; strangely, these fragrances did not dissipate, but instead condensed in mid-air.

Kailan focused her entire mind on the alchemy, unaware of the passage of time or the situation in the outside world, strictly executing the requirements and techniques on the pill formula.

Before she knew it, an hour had passed, and the medicinal fragrance drifting from the Liandalu became increasingly rich, faintly forming the shapes of a dragon and a tiger.

Hum hum~

Suddenly, the entire Liandalu began to tremble violently, as if it were imprisoning a flood-dragon or a fierce beast.

Bang~

After a few breaths, the lid of the Liandalu was blown off, and pill after pill, the size of a Longyan, suddenly shot out.

Only at this moment did Kailan suddenly wake from her meditative state.

But before Kailan could act, Li Zhangsheng had already used his Mental Power to restrain these pills a step ahead.

There were seven pills in total, each identical in size, their surfaces wrapped in starlight and moonlight; one could tell at a glance that they were extraordinary.

Li Zhangsheng reached out and beckoned, and he gathered all these Moon Soul Star Snatching Pills into a Jade Gourd to prevent the pills from being exposed to the air for too long, which would lead to a decline in their medicinal efficacy.

"Kailan, well done. I hope you will continue to work hard!"

Li Zhangsheng offered a word of praise, and in order not to disturb Kailan, he disappeared into the air once again.

Of course, he had not left; he remained hidden in the void.

In the Secret Realm, he was like a deity residing in a Divine Kingdom, possessing all kinds of special abilities.

Kailan suppressed the joy in her heart; she did not immediately refine a fourth batch, choosing first to relax her mood, then striving to recall the situation while in the meditative state to improve her experience and insights in refining the Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill.

Not long after, under Li Zhangsheng's expectant gaze, Kailan began to refine the fourth batch.

Unfortunately, during the pill-forming stage, Kailan failed to grasp the fleeting opportunity, ultimately ending in failure.

Although only the third batch was successful, the formula for the Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill was truly too complex, with a difficulty greater than that of the Ten Directions Nether Pill; for Kailan to produce seven pills at the level of an Alchemist was already quite good.

Judging from the situation of Kailan's final batch, as long as she became more proficient, the success rate of refining the Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill would surely rise rapidly.

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng only had one Nether Moon Lotus left in his hand; he wanted to try cultivating the Nether Moon Lotus, and if he succeeded, the benefit to him would be immense.

Of course, he did not hold much hope; after all, the Kailing Empire itself had tried to cultivate the Nether Moon Lotus, yet even after so many years, they had still not succeeded.

Li Zhangsheng still did not give up on this idea; although the Kailing Empire was large and powerful, he also had his own advantages, and perhaps he could cultivate it.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng began to think about how to handle these seven Moon Soul Star Snatching Pills.

One thing was certain: the Moon Soul Star Snatching Pills were definitely meant for his own use, and "own use" here referred to his and Ning Bizhen's many Demon Pets.

As for who specifically should use them, Li Zhangsheng naturally had a preliminary idea, which was nothing more than using his special ability to give them to Demon Pets that were close to or had reached the quality critical point, so as to exchange the least cost for the greatest benefit.

Besides this, Temporary Spirit Pets were not being considered for now!

Among Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets, Round-Rolling, the Chi Dragon, and the Two-Headed Dragon were still of Half-Step Epic Quality, unlike his other Demon Pets which had all reached Epic Quality.

The Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill could only slightly improve a Demon Pet's quality; however, as a top-tier Alchemical Pill, the effect should be better than X-Spirit Grass, but it certainly could not reach the level of XX-Origin, this was a certainty.

Therefore, even if all seven Moon Soul Star Snatching Pills were given to one Epic Demon Pet to consume, there was a high probability that it would not lead to the Epic Demon Pet advancing further.

"The Two-Headed Dragon cannot provide me with help for the time being, so I won't use it for now; besides, in a short while it will enter a state of Bloodline Metamorphosis again, and by then it might be able to reach Epic Quality."

Li Zhangsheng pondered for a moment and decided to raise Round-Rolling and the Chi Dragon to Epic Quality; the key was that these two Demon Pets were both quite close to the quality critical point.

Additionally, he also examined Ning Bizhen's Demon Pets.

The quality of Ning Bizhen's Demon Pets was not as good as Li Zhangsheng's; she only had three Demon Pets of Half-Step Epic Quality, while the rest were all of Top-Grade Quality.

These three Half-Step Epic Demon Pets were the Great Sun Fire Crow, the Long-Eared Cold Jade Rabbit, and the Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast.

Among them, the Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast had evolved not long ago relying on the Spirit Essence given by Li Zhangsheng, which was why its quality had risen from Top-Grade to Half-Step Epic.

These three Half-Step Epic Quality Demon Pets had all reached Half-Step Epic Quality by relying on evolution and were all just beginning their Half-Step Epic Quality; to make any one of them advance further in quality would likely require more than one Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill.

As for Ning Bizhen's few Top-Grade Demon Pets, Li Zhangsheng used his special ability and ultimately chose the Xun Wind Express Cat and the Eight-Armed Naga, as they were closer to the critical point and easier to advance in one step.

After giving one Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill each to Round-Rolling, the Chi Dragon, the Xun Wind Express Cat, and the Eight-Armed Naga, the four Demon Pets impatiently swallowed them in one gulp and lay on the ground to begin refining the medicinal power.

While Li Zhangsheng watched them, his Mental Power remained in an outward-projecting state, closely monitoring them.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, the light spots representing the four Demon Pets became increasingly bright.

Among them, the Eight-Armed Naga was the first to advance to Half-Step Epic Quality.

After five minutes had passed, Round-Rolling and the Xun Wind Express Cat also completed their advancement in quality.

Among them, the Xun Wind Express Cat did not stand up immediately, but instead closed its eyes to attempt a breakthrough to the Demon King level.

The Xun Wind Express Cat had attempted a breakthrough before, but it had ended in failure.

This time, its probability of breakthrough was not small; Li Zhangsheng estimated there was about a forty percent chance of success.

Taking a step back, even if this breakthrough failed, by virtue of its Half-Step Epic Quality, the Xun Wind Express Cat would definitely complete the breakthrough in the future.

While the Xun Wind Express Cat was attempting its breakthrough, the medicinal effect of the Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill soon vanished, and the Chi Dragon had to open its disappointed dragon eyes, gazing longingly at the Jade Gourd in Li Zhangsheng's hand, which still contained three Moon Soul Star Snatching Pills.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, the light spot representing the Chi Dragon's quality, apart from being a bit brighter, had not crossed over to the next level.

"Alright, I'll give it to you!"

Li Zhangsheng felt somewhat helpless and could only take out another Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill and toss it to the Chi Dragon.

This time there were no accidents, and the Chi Dragon successfully became an Epic Quality Demon Pet.

Li Zhangsheng used his special ability to raise the quality of four Demon Pets by one grade using only five Moon Soul Star Snatching Pills; if this were told to others, I fear no one would believe it.

However, from another perspective, the medicinal effect of the Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill was still beyond Li Zhangsheng's expectations, clearly exceeding X-Spirit Grass, and it was not very far from XX-Origin, otherwise it would not have had such good effects.

"There are two left; should I keep them for now or use them immediately?"

In normal times, Li Zhangsheng would be more inclined to keep them, but at this moment, with only one month left until the three-month deadline, he was naturally more inclined to convert resources into combat power, so as to better cope with the crisis.
