After chatting with Dugu Bo for half the night, Tianlin woke up the next morning, being nudged awake by Dugu Bo.
"Hey, Little Monster, look at that Alchemy Furnace."
Tianlin, upon hearing about the Alchemy Furnace, woke up with a start and immediately sat up. He saw the outer surface of the Alchemy Furnace shimmering with waves of purple light.
"This is the sign of the Purple Gold Pill being completed! Old Monster, help me pull the Alchemy Furnace over," Tianlin said excitedly.
Dugu Bo summoned his Spirit, the Jade Scale Serpent Emperor, and used his Snake Tail to pull the Alchemy Furnace in front of Tianlin. Tianlin stepped forward and lifted the lid. Immediately, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.
"This medicinal fragrance, just smelling it makes my spirit power condense. No doubt, Little Monster, you've succeeded," Dugu Bo exclaimed.
Tianlin scooped the Pills out of the Alchemy Furnace and counted them. There were six golden Pills in total, five of which shimmered with purple-golden light, their radiance flowing, mysteriously extraordinary.
"Sigh!" Tianlin sighed. "Only five succeeded. The last one is considered a failure. Too much medicinal power was lost, and its effect is probably far inferior to the original Nine Rank Purple Ganoderma."
"You Little Monster, you're too greedy, aren't you? As the saying goes, 'The sun waxes and wanes, the moon waxes and wanes.' Even heaven and earth are not perfect. Don't pursue perfection too much, it will affect your state of mind," Dugu Bo advised. Sometimes, knowing when to stop is not a derogatory term. Although it may seem like a lack of ambition and easy to satisfy, perhaps that is the limit that can be reached.
If one insists on continuing, the final result may be more harm than good.
Tianlin smiled in relief. "Old Monster, you're right. I was greedy. Actually, this alchemy session can be considered a success. Five Nine Rank Purple Golden Pills are enough for me to share with many people."
"Old Monster, here's one for you first, and you can keep this failed one too. Although it has lost its additional wonderful effects, it still contains a lot of medicinal power. If you encounter insufficient spirit power next time, taking it can at least restore three or four levels of your spirit power. It's a good life-saving elixir."
"Thanks." Dugu Bo accepted the elixir without any politeness. Anyway, he planned to follow Tianlin in the future, so taking some of his medicine didn't burden him at all.
However, he didn't plan to eat it immediately. He was still taking Tianlin's detoxification Pills recently. Mixing them might cause the medicinal effects to clash. He would wait until he was completely detoxified before taking it.
With the refining of the Purple Gold Pill completed, Tianlin didn't plan to stop. He was just about to begin refining the Pill he truly wanted to make: the Mending Heaven Pill.
Using the Qiluo Tulip as the base, the most luxurious and magnificent Pill in the world, capable of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, the radiance of the sun and moon. Those who consume it can not only greatly enhance their strength and aptitude but also make up for all innate deficiencies, becoming the most perfect and flawless body.
According to Cao Gu's Hundred Herbs Record - Alchemy Chapter, one Qiluo Tulip can at most refine three Mending Heaven Pills. This was originally Tianlin's goal, but after being awakened by Dugu Bo, he now decided to focus on refining two Pills. The third one would be left to fate, whether it succeeded or not.
Because two Pills were enough to allow Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong to both achieve the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
However, refining the Mending Heaven Pill was not as simple as refining the Purple Gold Pill. Both the required Medicinal Herbs and the refining time increased significantly.
The time required was ninety-nine eighty-one days. Among the many auxiliary Medicinal Herbs, several top-grade elixirs comparable to the Nine Rank Purple Ganoderma were needed. Fortunately, this was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and he could find everything he needed.
Tianlin followed the records in Cao Gu's book, added all the elixirs in proportion, and then submerged the Alchemy Furnace in the fire spring. The water of the fire spring was more effective than any flame. This was an excellent place for refining Pills.
Time flew by, and sixty days had passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Tianlin had returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy twice, meeting with the members of the Royal Fight Team and Xue Qinghe to prevent them from worrying.
In addition, Sword Douluo Chen Xin had also come here once. He didn't object to Tianlin learning poison from Dugu Bo. After all, it was easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. After learning this, Tianlin would be much safer when he went out to explore the continent in the future.
However, he couldn't ignore Tianlin's spirit power growth, fearing that he would only focus on learning poison and neglect his own cultivation. But when he saw that Tianlin's spirit power level had reached level twenty-nine, he left with satisfaction.
And today, Tianlin was going out again because, after three months of cultivation, he had not only completely sorted out the three levels of spirit power amplified by the Immortal Herb but had also finally broken through to level thirty.
The current Tianlin was only about nine years old, three years earlier than the original Tang San, who broke into level thirty at the age of twelve.
Sunset Forest is one of the Soul Beast gathering places on Douluo Continent, second only to Star Dou Great Forest. Here, it was very convenient for him to hunt Soul Beasts. As for the person helping him, it was of course Dugu Bo. With this Old Monster around, he didn't have to go back and ask Chen Xin for help.
Dugu Bo's hair had not only completely returned to the gray-white color of a normal old man but was even slowly turning black. His detoxification was about to be completely completed. Although his level was still ninety-two, without the drag of toxins, he didn't need to divide his spirit power to suppress the poison in his body. When he could use it at will, his actual combat power was almost twice as strong as before.
"Little Monster, what kind of Soul Beast are you looking for? I've lived in this Sunset Forest for decades and have a good understanding of the Soul Beast gathering places here, large and small. Whatever you want, I can find it for you," Dugu Bo said. He was very grateful to Tianlin and had been looking for an opportunity to repay him.
Hunting Soul Beasts may not be a great favor, but it was still a token of appreciation, wasn't it?
"Then I'll thank you in advance, old monster. I'm looking for a wind-attribute Soul Beast, and as for the age, probably around five to six thousand years. Do you know where I can find one?" Tianlin already had an idea for his Third Spirit Ring.
Dugu Bo stopped upon hearing this. "I know, but are you sure you want to choose such a high age? You should know that the limit for a regular Soul Master's Third Spirit Ring is around one thousand seven hundred years. You're exceeding that by three thousand years!"
"Old monster, I know you're worried about me, but please rest assured, I won't do anything I'm not confident in. My Second Spirit Ring already crossed into the thousand-year range. After obtaining the External Spirit Bone, my mental strength was already enough to match a Soul Ancestor. Now, after undergoing the Ice and Fire Body Tempering, my physical strength has also caught up. Absorbing a five to six thousand year Spirit Ring is definitely not a problem!" Tianlin said with utmost confidence.
"Alright, then this old monster will indulge you, Little Monster, one time. Come with me, but you must be mentally prepared. This old man isn't as doting as your Master, finding you a Soul Beast that isn't very aggressive." Dugu Bo already had a plan in mind.
In a canyon on the western side of the Sunset Forest, there was a Soul Beast that was very suitable for Tianlin, but it was extremely ferocious. Absorbing such a Spirit Ring would be much more difficult than absorbing the Purple Fire Golden Eyes Beast.
