Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 555 Half-step Eighth-Order Magical Beast Corpse - Heavenly Demon Phoenix!
"A half-step eighth-rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix. As expected, this high-ranking magical beast has essentially already lost its magic core."

At Canaan Academy, inside the Burning Heaven Refining Tower, Jiang Lin, after dealing with Little Medical Immortal's training issues, began preparing for his future as a Dou Huang. At the very least, he needed to refine the semi-finished product before heading to the Void for the final refining.

Hun Ke'er disappeared, claiming to be practicing a new technique. If they needed her, they could contact her directly through the Nether God Jade Pendant. Xiao Yan and the others were also diligently cultivating, as Jiang Lin had left them ample resources. The same was true for Xiao Yixian, who had ample resources. Her own training speed from the poisonous body, combined with Jiang Lin's generous gift package, allowed her to cultivate at a much faster pace than Xiao Yan and the others. She was expected to reach the peak of the Nine-Star Grand Master rank within two months.

At that time, Jiang Lin estimated that he might have already broken through to Dou Huang. Because the road was paved in advance, Jiang Lin's realm improvement has always been very fast.

Jiang Lin is currently in the refining room of the Burning Heaven Refining Tower, pondering over the treasure he obtained from the Black Emperor Sect—the corpse of a half-step eighth-rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

The Black Emperor Sect might have simply mistaken the corpse for an ordinary seventh-tier monster, and they didn't recognize the species of the monster. Even if Jiang Lin recognized it, he couldn't tell anyone.

It wasn't that Jiang Lin was trying to take advantage, but if the Black Emperor Sect knew the true identity of the demon beast corpse, it would likely bring unnecessary trouble. Jiang Lin had essentially eliminated a threat for the Black Emperor Sect with a relatively reasonable reward, so overall, no one was at a disadvantage.

"It is rumored that the Sky Demon Phoenix is ​​a top-level magical beast that is not inferior to the Taixu Ancient Dragon. Corresponding to it is the Nine Nether Earth Python. They are almost the three top-level magical beasts in the world." Jiang Lin sat cross-legged in the refining room, holding the Qingxuan Ding that was burning with the Fallen Heart Flame in his hand. A withered corpse of a magical beast with bone wings was faintly visible in the rising flames inside the cauldron.

"There are more than just these three top-level magical beasts in this world." Pei Xuan emerged from Jiang Lin's body at this time, and a small ghost appeared on Jiang Lin's shoulder.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Jiang Lin, who was currently refining the corpse of the Sky Demon Phoenix, raised his lips slightly, his eyes showing a hint of interest. While Pei Xuan wasn't the most knowledgeable about this world, he would occasionally reveal something that would open Jiang Lin's eyes.

"Take the Nine-Wandering Great Peng Bird I told you about before. It was once the absolute overlord of the sky, but due to changes in the world, it was eventually destroyed by other hostile forces." Pei Xuan cleared his throat and continued, "The Nine-Wandering Great Peng Bird corresponds to the Nine-Nether Earth Python, a superb monster race with a constant stream of Saint-level monsters within its clan. Speaking of the Nine-Nether Earth Python, it's worth mentioning that in the Nine-Nether Land, there's actually another kind of sky-reaching monster, which you've seen before."

"I've seen it? You mean Medusa?" Jiang Lin thought for a moment. The only demon beast he'd ever seen that could be called a celestial beast was probably Cai Lin, the incarnation of Queen Medusa. That little creature often came to Jiang Lin to ask for krypton gold gift packs. Jiang Lin, a wealthy enough to attract mold, naturally wasn't stingy with these people. Of course, he usually didn't give them outright. Cai Lin would go out and find some precious materials herself, then trade them with Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin's principle is that he only gives things directly to people like Little Fairy Doctor Yao, who showed him great kindness in his youth. For people like Xiao Yan and Cai Lin, he prefers a transactional approach; he might not profit from the price difference, but he won't give things away for free. Of course, Zi Yan is a different story; she's essentially kept as a mount, but Zi Yan has a bit of a temper and won't accept handouts, so she'll always try to trade something with Jiang Lin. "You're talking about the Seven-Colored Devouring Python, which is indeed a wild and exotic species, but within the Devouring Python clan, there can also be beings with 'Emperor Blood,' namely the Nine-Colored Devouring Python." Pei Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and awe) in his heart. He realized that the people around Jiang Lin were all extraordinary.

"How did they evolve?" Jiang Lin suddenly remembered that the Serpent People of the Jiama Empire migrated from the Beast Territory in the south of the continent. Thinking that way, it made sense that Queen Medusa had some Sky-Swallowing Python bloodline. After all, Pei Xuan had said that Xiao Yixian's Eagle Sauce also had some Nine-Flying Great Peng Bird bloodline.
"According to what you said, the Sky-Swallowing Python's bloodline spiritual level has been improved, and its physical spiritual patterns have been upgraded. It is rumored that its clan's land is also in the Nine Netherworlds. If you have the chance, you can go and take a look." Of course, Pei Xuan meant that he thought the Nine Netherworlds was a good place and he could go there to explore for treasures.

"I'm not even at the Douhuang level yet, and you're already coveting other people's top beastmen's things? What, is there something you need in the Nine Netherworlds?" Jiang Lin was also a smart man. He knew what Pei Xuan was planning as soon as he heard him fart.

"Well, I don't know if there are any records of it in the modern world, but in my memory, the Nine Netherworld can actually be considered the underworld, the world of the dead." Pei Xuan thought for a moment, trying to recall something, and finally shook his head and said, "If you want to complete the soul cultivation path, you should be able to obtain some tonic substances in the Nine Netherworld. Just like the Ancient Sea Secret Realm can quickly improve your cultivation level, the Nine Netherworld is a secret realm suitable for me."

"My current realm is at the peak of the sixth level, and it won't be long before I can break through to the seventh level. I've also been trying to complete a few soul skills recently. If I succeed, I might be able to compete with Dou Zong masters."

"But the higher your realm, the slower your improvement speed. For example, your soul pills and spirit pills are basically the same as crystal pills. The higher your realm, the higher the quality of the pills you need. To improve the quality of the pills, you need to spend a lot of energy to improve your spirit."

"Indeed, whether it is the soul tax or the spirit stone tax, both can allow you to continuously obtain low-end cultivation resources, and then you can spend your energy to 'turn waste into treasure' for your own cultivation. However, your energy is limited after all. If you want to quickly improve your cultivation in the shortest time, the quickest way is to directly plunder high-level cultivation resources." Pei Xuan has always seen very clearly that Jiang Lin's divine spirit fire + spirit body is an extremely heaven-defying 'spiritual furnace' that can turn low-level cultivation resources that high-level strongmen cannot use into high-level cultivation resources.

However, even though Jiang Lin's productivity is amazing, it is impossible for Jiang Lin to satisfy everyone. Therefore, Pei Xuan also needs to find a suitable "experience copy" to improve his realm.

"You can choose not to rob because you have a choice. But we don't have that many choices."
