Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Fighting Spirit Pill
In a tranquil valley within the Beast Mountain Range, a wooden cabin quietly stood in a clearing surrounded by trees.
In front of the cabin lay a blue stone about two meters wide, with four magical beasts stationed nearby to guard it.
On the blue stone, a figure with green scales sat cross-legged, eyes gently closed. She formed a peculiar hand seal, and as she breathed, her chest slightly rose and fell. With each breath, a faint white airflow flowed in through her mouth and nose, merging with a mysterious green energy that naturally emanated from her body, nourishing her meridians and bones.
After a while, as the nurturing process completed, the aura of the green-scaled figure grew stronger. She opened her eyes, and a brilliant smile appeared on her delicate face.
"Great! I've broken through to the seventh stage of Fighting Qi. When Young Master returns and hears this news, he will surely be very happy." Indeed, the green-scaled figure had broken through two stages of Fighting Qi in just over a month, fully demonstrating the extraordinary abilities of the Green Serpent's Three Flower Eyes.
"Today's training is also complete. I should continue helping Young Master sew that robe."
Feeling joyful, the green-scaled figure stood up, preparing to return to the cabin to sew for Lin Yuan. As she turned around, she saw Lin Yuan standing quietly in front of the cabin, watching her.
"Ah, Young Master, you're back?" she exclaimed, her voice filled with surprise as she happily walked over to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan smiled, pinching her cheek and saying, "Today is your birthday, so of course, I had to come back early to celebrate with you."
"Thank you, Young Master! I also have good news to tell you!" The green-scaled figure looked up at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with emotion. She hadn't expected Lin Yuan to remember her birthday, especially since she had only mentioned it casually in conversation, and now he was preparing to celebrate it. The thought that she had never celebrated her birthday before made her heart flutter with anticipation.
"Oh? What good news is it?" Lin Yuan asked knowingly.
"Hehe, I just broke through to the seventh stage of Fighting Qi!" The green-scaled figure's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Yuan, her voice filled with excitement.
Lin Yuan nodded, satisfied. "Hmm, my Qing'er is truly remarkable, breaking through to the seventh stage of Fighting Qi so quickly. It seems you've been training diligently."
Lin Yuan admired her in his heart. Although he had helped her, it was indeed impressive that the Green Serpent's Three Flower Eyes had allowed her to rise from the fifth to the seventh stage of Fighting Qi in just over a month. It took him much longer to achieve the same, and the special physique was truly formidable.
"Hehe!" Hearing Lin Yuan's praise, the green-scaled figure felt a wave of satisfaction.
"Let's go celebrate today and let you experience my unique culinary skills," Lin Yuan said, walking ahead.
"Thank you, Young Master!" The green-scaled figure followed him with a light step.
Ten days later.
In a remote forest within the Beast Mountain Range.
"Congeal!"
With a soft shout, the surrounding energy of heaven and earth suddenly fluctuated, and the green pill in the cauldron gradually became round, emitting a brilliant green light like a gemstone.
At the moment the pill was formed, a ripple of energy erupted from the cauldron, spreading outward.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan changed his hand seal, and the green flames in the cauldron surged, enveloping the green light in the center. The energy ripples centered around the cauldron spread even more rapidly, and as the energy surged, the green pill was fully formed.
"Fighting Spirit Pill, complete! Rise!"
In an instant, a green beam of light shot up from the cauldron, accompanied by a powerful wave of energy that radiated outward, shaking the surroundings.
Lin Yuan furrowed his brow slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a strand of green light shot out from the beam, flying towards him. It eventually hovered in his hand, revealing itself to be a green pill the size of a dragon's eye. The surface of the pill was extremely round, with faint green lotus patterns, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted from it, surrounded by powerful energy waves.
This was the sixth-grade Fighting Spirit Pill, a pill that could help a Fighting King break through to the next star. The formula had been obtained from the academy, and after completing the alchemy task, Elder Huo had opened up all the formulas in the alchemy department to him. Lin Yuan now possessed quite a few sixth-grade formulas.
Looking at the pill in front of him, Lin Yuan felt very satisfied. "Hmm, very good. In terms of color, fragrance, and energy, this Fighting Spirit Pill should be a top-quality one. The refining process didn't feel difficult at all; the special fire really enhances the alchemy skills. After I break through to the eighth star of Fighting King in a while, I can take this Fighting Spirit Pill and rush straight to the ninth star."
"My first sixth-grade pill has finally been completed. After so many years, I have finally become a sixth-grade alchemist. It has truly been a long journey!" Lin Yuan thought to himself as he took out a high-quality jade bottle to store the Fighting Spirit Pill.
Looking at the sixth-grade pill in the bottle, Lin Yuan couldn't help but reminisce about his long journey of learning alchemy over the years. He had discovered his alchemist talent at the age of ten, studied in the alchemy department of Canaan Academy, and gained Elder Huo's appreciation. From the age of ten to fifteen, he spent nearly half of that time on alchemy, learning knowledge, honing his soul, and practicing fire control. The study of alchemy was vast, and even with his strong soul talent and Elder Huo's guidance, it took him several years to build a solid foundation.
Now, he had finally become a sixth-grade alchemist, a rarity even in the entire Douqi continent, surpassing his mentor, Elder Huo. He believed that Elder Huo would be very pleased when he learned of this.
Lost in thought, Lin Yuan heard a few beast roars in the distance. He frowned slightly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Are the magical beasts drawn here by the energy fluctuations from the pill? Let's go take them down."
A thought flashed through his mind, and Lin Yuan suddenly felt a bit alert. "Hmm? When did my killing intent become so strong? Why do I feel murderous at the slightest provocation? Is it because I've been fighting and killing too much lately?"
"Forget it, there's no need to continue killing. I've already taken down quite a few fifth and sixth-grade magical beasts, and the magical beast blood for practicing the Hundred Beasts Spirit Refining Technique is sufficient. It's time to leave." Calming his mind, Lin Yuan dispelled the killing intent in his eyes, spread his wings, and flew off into the distance.
After flying for a while, Lin Yuan returned to the valley where he and the green-scaled figure lived.
As Lin Yuan descended, the green-scaled figure, who had been sitting cross-legged, withdrew her hand seal, ending her training, and stood up to greet him.
"Young Master, are you leaving?" she asked softly as she approached, waving her hand to summon back the two-headed fire spirit snake that had been guarding her, looking more skilled in using the Green Serpent's Three Flower Eyes.
"Yes, I'm leaving. Qing'er, is everything ready?" Lin Yuan asked her.
"Everything is ready; we can set off at any time," the green-scaled figure confirmed with a nod after looking around.
"Good, then let's go. After a while, when you break through to the Fighter level, I'll take you to catch some fifth-grade magical beasts."
With that, Lin Yuan embraced the green-scaled figure, recalled the map, and spread his wings, flying towards the southwest direction of the Beast Mountain Range.
"It's time to obtain a fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire map."
"If everything goes well, I can obtain the high-level alchemist inheritance and earth-level techniques."
At this moment, a medicinal herb gathering team was returning on the road to Qingshan Town, located on the outskirts of the Beast Mountain Range.
"Little Medical Fairy? What's wrong? You seem lost in thought?" A girl waved her hand in front of another girl dressed in a white dress.
The girl in the white dress was wearing a light white gown, and her beauty was rare. With a serene smile on her face, she exuded a refreshing and ethereal aura, which significantly enhanced her charm.
The girl in the white dress came back to her senses, smiled gently, and her beautiful face and warm smile attracted the attention of the surrounding mercenaries.
"Nothing much, Lifi. I just thought of a way to improve a medicinal formula," the girl in the white dress replied with a smile to her female assistant beside her.
"Oh, as expected of the Little Medical Fairy, the pride of our Qingshan Town!" The young mercenaries nearby began to cheer and whistle.
The Little Medical Fairy looked at the teasing crowd with a gentle expression, her mind drifting back to the cave she had accidentally discovered.
"That cave beneath the cliff must hold secrets. It seems I need to find an opportunity to explore it."
