Chapter 222: Marrow Refining Pill
Chapter 222: Marrow Refining Pill
Luan created a cloud beneath their feet and flew back to the island as they took in the scenery. Ingrid\'s face was glowing. Luan had satisfied her in many ways, both by having a romantic date, as well as... Well, you get the picture~
After arriving on the island, Luan didn\'t relax. He began to train diligently. To reach the Third Order with the Corps he needed to work hard. Ingrid followed his example and went into the pool of blood and began to meditate. Even after half an hour, the improvement was negligible.
\'I am a fool. I must make a marrow cleansing pill now that I have some Third Order monster remains...\' Luan chided himself.
It was not difficult for him to create such a pill, especially with the Oven of the dynasty.
Of course, if he had the fruit he wanted from the Nymphs, it would have been easier to create such a pill, but since he didn\'t, he used something else to replace it. It wasn\'t like that was obligatory; he could always substitute another ingredient.
Crushing the marrow of the Third Order monster and cooking it until it all turned into a viscous white liquid, Luan stored it in pots. He also separated dried horsetail leaves and crushed them.
Another ingredient was strawberry, but not just any strawberry, it was strawberry that he found in a dimensional crack and was cultivated with a lot of Qi and was very good for cleaning the marrow.
Picking up the oven he\'d gotten from the dynasty with two illustrated dragons, Luan took a deep breath, increasing his awareness. Blue flames appeared in his hand. He hadn\'t used this before because it burned a lot of Qi, but for alchemy, blue flames were the hallmark of experienced alchemists.
Luan\'s concentration peaked. His aura became calm as a lake, and he began to pour out the ingredients as they melted into the blue flames. Finally, he spilled the viscous liquid from the Third Order\'s marrow.
Luan\'s concentration wasn\'t shaken. Even when he seemed like he might show signs of failing, he remained calm and focused.
"Done!" Luan collapsed on his back. This had required too much from him.
But the smile on his face didn\'t come off. After all, even without the fruit he wanted from the Nymphs, he managed to succeed.
Taking a deep breath, he soothed his Qi and spirit, and upon standing, he opened the lid of the two dragon pots. \'I actually managed to do five, and Heaven Level... My luck is really high today!\' Even Luan couldn\'t believe it.
He took out the five pills that gleamed more than precious pearls and put them in a suitable container. For now, only he and Ingrid needed these pills, but later Maira and the rest would need them too, and he now had more confidence in creating new pills like these. Even with a slightly inferior quality, these five were already a miracle in and of itself.
\'This pill can help Ingrid refine both the marrow as well as the bone,\' Luan thought. Of course, the effect would be less on the bone, but it would still have an effect. Marrow was related to the body, while bone refining was related to Qi. If she was lucky, she might make it into the Third Order with the body and Qi. Of course, this in itself was almost impossible.
However, Luan had 5 pills. He wouldn\'t be stingy if she needed any of them. After all, couldn\'t he create new pills?
"Ingrid, are you busy?" Luan called for her.
"No." She got up, soaked in blood, and went to him. By that time she had gotten used to the blood and control, and in a matter of seconds the blood left her body and clothes. Even the smell was no longer there.
Luan handed her a pill. "This is a Marrow Refining Pill. It is almost certain that by swallowing this pill, you can successfully refine your marrow. But first, calm down, and when you think you\'re ready, swallow and cultivate."
"I will." Ingrid nodded seriously.
"Ah, yes, it will be painful," Luan warned.
"Have you forgotten already? I passed the master\'s test and I almost got burned alive in a volcano." Ingrid laughed, which was pretty scary, considering what she was talking about.
"Yes, true," Luan remembered.
Of course, it wasn\'t just Ingrid who needed to prepare, Luan did too. And of course, they couldn\'t be disturbed. Therefore, he created a formation that prevented others below the Third Order from approaching and already warned everyone that he and Ingrid were going through a delicate process and that the formation needed to be isolated.
"Wait, before you start, take these pills. They are pills that you should be able to use too," Luan said to Ingrid.
"Yes, Qi Collection Pills." Ingrid nodded.
"When you feel a lot of pain and your Qi is running out, eat this one. This one is different from the others; it is ground level. It will be of great help." Luan said.
"Mm, thanks." She kissed him and smiled.
"Okay, now be very careful, understand?" Luan warned again.
"I know," Ingrid nodded.
For both himself and Ingrid, he created a five-pointed pentagram, much like what they saw in the museum. At each end was a Third Order Monster Core.
"Watch me first and try to do as I do," Luan said.
"Okay." Ingrid nodded in obedience.
Luan sat in the middle of the pentagram, and the Monster Cores\' Qi has already manifested. Luan took the Sky Level Bone Marrow Refining Pill and swallowed it.
As the energy entered the marrow, Luan heard the sounds of something being swept through his bones. That was the energy that burned his marrow, slowly refining it and changing his own nature. This was similar to molten steel passing through the marrow and taking away the impurity. The pain was so great that it made Luan frown. That pain was deep in his bones and totally agonizing.
