Chapter 355: Alchemy
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
After the first medicinal pill was formed in the cauldron, it was still not completely used up. It was still gathering and condensing into a new medicinal pill. In a short while, all the medicinal pills inside were refined into medicinal pills.
A golden light emitted from within the cauldron. The lid of the cauldron trembled non-stop. A light sound of a copper object colliding could be heard. The lid of the cauldron slowly dropped to the ground.
Three brown pills flew out of the cauldron and landed in Lugh’s hands. He opened his palm, and the brown pills glowed with some source energy, causing the bodies of the pills to flicker with a faint light.
Seeing the quality of the pills, Lugh’s face lit up with joy. “Three perfect-grade source energy pills?!”
The source energy pills were prepared by Lugh to help Big Mouth recover its source energy quickly. They were just ordinary ninth-grade pills..,
Before Lugh became a Beast Master, he had refined over a thousand source energy pills, but he had never refined a source energy pill of such perfect quality.
Before he became a Beast Master, Lugh’s refining speed was originally very slow. However, the time taken to refine it this time was about twice as long. In most cases, he only refined one source energy pill, and in very rare cases, he only refined two. Moreover, the quality of the pills was ordinary.
The quality of the pills refined was determined by the level of the alchemist, and the quality of the pills was divided into four types: ‘Inferior, ordinary, good, and perfect’.
As for the perfect quality source energy pill, it had already reached the realm of eighth-grade pills, allowing the recovery speed of the source beast’s source energy to reach a higher level.
Lugh continued refining again, exploring the main reason why he refined the perfect source energy pill. Why did it have such a drastic change from his previous self?
This time, he only refined two source energy pills, but the quality was still perfect.
Lugh did not stop. He continued to refine, constantly sensing the changes in the condensation of the pill. He only stopped refining after he refined around 30 source energy pills.
Lugh looked at the 30 source energy pills on the ground in a daze. After all of them were of perfect quality, his expression could not help but be pleasantly surprised.
Through his early source energy output, Lugh carefully sensed the pattern of the pills gathering. He discovered that as long as he used the red source energy he emitted to refine the pills, whether it was the speed at which the pills gathered, or the degree of perfection of the medicinal properties... They would all have a considerable increase.
“Is it because of the rapid increase in the quality of the source energy in my body after I became a Beast Master?” Lugh muttered to himself after pondering for a moment.
Before becoming a Beast Master, the source energy in Lugh’s body was very rare.
Although compared to other children who didn’t have source beasts, Lugh’s source energy was several times stronger than theirs.
However, compared to those who had stepped into the realm of Beast Masters, he was still like a child who had just started, which was why refining pills at that time was exceptionally difficult.
It wasn’t until Lugh and Big Mouth formed a contract and successfully became early-stage Black Iron-tier Beast Masters that a source energy sea grew in his body. In terms of quality and quantity, his source energy increased by leaps and bounds.
Other than the purity of the source energy, Lugh suspected that it had something to do with his unique scarlet source energy. There was also the time when he had recovered from his serious injuries in the Forest of Despair and survived.
Lugh had a lot of doubts in his heart. He planned to wait until he came into contact with a higher level of knowledge before pursuing the truth.
Although he had refined 30 source energy pills, the source energy in Lugh’s body still showed no signs of being exhausted. Instead, he seemed to be at ease.
This was also the reason why Lugh wanted to buy so many source energy pills at one go. One had to know that the source energy grass could only be preserved for a week after leaving the land. If the time limit was over, it would wither and lose all its medicinal value.
Lugh knew that his source energy was strong, so he prepared to refine a large number of source energy pills that could be preserved for a long time. However, he never expected that his refinement of source energy pills would be so smooth. He could actually refine a large number of source energy pills of perfect quality... This could be considered a pleasant surprise.
As Lugh’s refinement of source energy pills did not take long, and his source energy was very sufficient, Lugh could quickly refine a large number of perfect grade source energy pills, which would speed up the progress of his Big Mouth’s cultivation.
As the saying goes, with motivation, the efficiency is good. This was because after knowing that his source energy had a great boost in refining medicine, Lugh’s mood was maintained very well.
The efficiency of refining medicinal pills had also increased by quite a bit. Refining the source energy pills lasted until the afternoon. After exhausting most of the source energy in his body, he finally stopped.
In one morning and one afternoon, he refined a total of 60 perfect grade source energy pills. The Source Energy Grass and other materials had also been consumed by about half. If this kind of efficiency was seen by other alchemists, they would be scared half to death.
This kind of efficiency could only be achieved by alchemists of at least tier-7 and above. And Lugh had already reached a realm that many people in their thirties could not reach at the age of 16. This was very shocking.
Lugh wiped the fine sweat that had appeared on his head. After storing the source energy pills in the medicine bottle that he had prepared long ago, he stopped the pill refinement and left the refining pharmacy.
“These perfect quality source energy pills are enough to last for quite a while. I’ll refine the remaining ingredients tomorrow. Now that the preparations are done, it’s time to start planning the training plan.” Lugh looked at the medicine bottle in his hand. He thought to himself.
At this moment, Big Mouth, who was lying on the ground in the backyard, was enjoying the breeze from the flower branches. It suddenly shivered and had an inexplicable sense of fear.
The flower branches, which thought Big Mouth was cold, stopped the breeze. Then, they used their feet to stroke Big Mouth’s forehead to calm it down. Big Mouth enjoyed the comfort of the flower branches. It thought to itself, “It must have been an illusion just now...”
Five days later!
On the back mountain, there were broken stones everywhere. There were also many traces of heavy objects being dragged on the ground.
Swish!
Big Mouth used its Bloody Claw to grab at the remaining intact great green rock. The blood in the air suddenly expanded, and the Bloody Claw, which was even stronger than before, condensed in the air. Accompanied by a strong wind-breaking sound, it hit the green rock. Its six limbs flew in the air, and it continuously swung out several bloody claws.
Bang!
The green rock let out a loud cracking sound, and the powerful explosion of the Bloody Claw directly shattered the last remaining Green Mountain Rocks.
The green poison on the broken rock was continuously corroding the rock, and there was a shining yellow crystal in the broken rock.
As for Big Mouth, it had used up all of his source energy. It lay on the ground and panted heavily, its abdomen constantly rising and falling. It was obvious that it had gone through a very difficult period of cultivation.
Lugh, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground not far away and cultivating the origin technique, slowly withdrew the source energy outside his body and slowly opened his eyes.
“Well done, Big Mouth. After these few days of training, you have finally improved the proficiency of the Bloody Claw to great success. Not only has the attack range of the Bloody Claw increased, but its explosive power has also increased significantly.”
Lugh was obviously very satisfied with the results of Big Mouth’s training and praised it.
“Roar...” Big Mouth replied weakly. Its tone was full of despair. God knows what kind of devil-like training it had gone through these few days.
Lugh took out a notebook and drew circles on it. The notebook was densely packed with training items, as well as the insights and discoveries during training. After completing the morning exercise, Lugh drew a tick on the options and closed the notebook.
“Alright, stop pretending to be dead, Big Mouth. Quickly pack up the ‘Green Mountain Rock’ on the ground and put it into a large leather bag. Then, send it to the stone factory workers so you can eat breakfast.”
Lugh patted Big Mouth’s obviously larger head and spoke. Big Mouth’s eyes were filled with relief.
After these few days of high-intensity training, Big Mouth’s level had already broken through to level 8.
Now, it bared its fangs and brandished its claws, and its limbs had become more robust. Its body size had grown to about 1.7 meters. The physical characteristics of the dragon race were becoming more and more obvious, and the difference between it and the Scavenger Flies was starting to grow bigger and bigger.
“Roar...”
After Big Mouth heard about the breakfast, it forcefully drove its exhausted body to store the crystals that were shimmering with brown light on the ground into a large bag made of animal skin.
In order to help Big Mouth cultivate, Lugh had specifically asked Uncle Wang, the factory that specialized in mining mountain rocks, Wang Batang, to provide some large-scale Green Mountain Rocks for his cultivation, and Lugh was responsible for crushing the Green Mountain Rocks and taking out the heart of the Green Mountain Rocks to give to the other party.
