New and dark light years

Chapter 176 Boiling Blood Pill

After finishing the peaches, I didn't feel anything special except that they tasted good.

But its delicious taste alone makes it well worth it.

After eating the empress's peaches, they prepared to begin refining elixirs.

In the alchemy room, Li Lin cut the white elephant divine meat into twenty pieces, each piece being roughly the same size.

Next, he mixed each portion of divine flesh with alchemical materials of different proportions and poured them into the furnace for tempering.

Blue flames burned fiercely.

As time passed, the fire in the furnace rose and then went out.

One batch of pills after another were produced from the furnace.

Li Lin looked at each document one by one.

Then he kept shaking his head.

Although these pills look quite good, with colors ranging from yellow, green, blue, purple, to black, they are all useless pills, and some are even poisonous.

The fusion effect of the white elephant god's flesh and medicinal herbs is not that good.

I even felt a bit of rejection.

He had already used seventeen portions of White Elephant God Flesh, and he still had three chances left.

Although opportunities were few, as the experiments progressed, he gradually figured out the 'medicinal properties' of the White Elephant God's flesh.

This thing can greatly increase a person's vitality... but it's not permanent.

Because most people cannot absorb it, medication is needed to solidify it.

Therefore, Li Lin specially commissioned a prescription to find a way to permanently fix this blood and qi.

After using up the last three portions of White Elephant God meat, three portions of pills were made.

Two of them were perfect, and could indeed permanently solidify the blood essence of these white elephant god flesh. The transparent red beads looked extremely beautiful.

The last one was a success, but it had some... flaws.

This pill is bright red and can also increase blood and qi. It is temporary, but its effects are extremely potent.

It can be used as a 'stimulant'.

Li Lin estimated that it could boost the user's power in a short period of time, but the side effect was that after the duration of about 15 minutes, the user would experience blood and qi imbalances and feel very uncomfortable.

Li Lin named it 'Boiling Blood Pill'.

This recipe inspired Li Lin, who replaced the ingredient, White Elephant Divine Flesh, with other medicinal herbs.

An improved version of the 'Boiling Blood Pill' was created.

The temporary growth effect is not as strong, but the side effects are much smaller, with almost no impact.

The key is not to take more than a dozen pills in a row!
Li Lin named the two pills that perfectly increased blood and qi "Blood-Stabilizing Pills". He also wanted to improve them by replacing the white elephant god's flesh with other materials, but after trying many kinds of precious medicinal materials, he had to give up for the time being.

At this point, Li Lin was quite satisfied.

After experimenting with a piece of white elephant divine flesh, he not only obtained two new pill formulas, but also greatly improved his alchemy skills.

Now, the yield rate of his medicinal herbs is much higher than before.

The effects of the elixir have also become much stronger.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he refined another batch of Youth Preservation Pills, Body Strengthening Pills, and a small amount of Life-Giving Pills.

Although Li Lin has switched to the Foundation Building Technique and is now absorbing spiritual energy, he no longer seems to need the vital energy generated by the Life-Giving Pill.

But cultivating immortality is not such an inconvenient thing. The vital energy produced after the Life-Giving Pill enters the stomach can be condensed into spiritual energy, but the efficiency is average. It takes a large mass of vital energy to condense into a spiritual energy the size of a fingernail.

Even though it's inefficient, every little bit helps.

That's spiritual energy... If Li Lin wanted to obtain even a fingernail-sized amount of spiritual energy, he would need to stay in the temporary small spiritual vein 'Lin Yuan' for three or four hours.

So... I'll start taking the Life-Sustaining Pills.

He took pills while practicing dual cultivation, and then, after his two wives fell asleep, he sat cross-legged to absorb spiritual energy.

He was incredibly busy. Logically, with such intense diligence and effort, he should have been exhausted.

But in reality, he is in very good spirits.

Feeling light and full of energy, he could sense the growing spiritual energy changing his body.

Although it's not fast, you can feel it every moment.

It's another early morning.

Li Lin went to the main hall to have breakfast.

He now rarely has breakfast with Huang Qing and Hong Luan anymore.

It wasn't that they didn't want to, nor was it that the three of them had any conflict; it was just that the two of them were too tired to wake up.

Unfortunately, although their physiques were much better than before, and they had even started practicing boxing and swordsmanship, which could be considered as having entered the basics of martial arts, they were still no match for Li Lin's current physical condition.

Li Lin appeared to be not much different from before; his muscles were not very prominent, and only his skin was better.

But his strength and speed have both greatly improved.

On the surface, he is an eighth-rank Spirit Hunter, but in reality, he has the combat strength of at least a seventh-rank Spirit Hunter.

After breakfast, Li Lin put on his official robes and went to work at the county government office.

At the entrance of the barracks, they encountered Xiao Chunzhu, who was dressed as a constable.

A few days ago, he became a head constable, and now he can independently lead about twenty constables to patrol the streets.

Logically speaking, Xiao Chunzhu should be able to lead his men on patrols on his own, but he still waits for Li Lin at the barracks, and only after confirming that he has no 'missions' will he lead his men on patrols.

Good morning, Officer Xiao.

"I've met the county magistrate." Xiao Chunzhu hugged him and said with a smile, "The county magistrate said that once you arrive, we'll go to the court to see him."

Li Lin nodded and went to the courtroom.

Since the county magistrate has not yet taken office, the county assistant is temporarily acting as the county magistrate.

When Jiang Jili saw Li Lin, he stood up.

He was hesitant to sit and speak in front of Li Lin.

"County Commandant Li, do you still remember the hunt for Taotie Zhenjun a few months ago?"

Li Lin nodded.

Taotie Zhenjun was killed near Luofeng Ridge in the western suburbs of Jin County. This was actually orchestrated by his father-in-law, Huang Yan.

“Some strange things have been happening there recently. It’s estimated that some scattered fragments of Yin Qi Stone have nurtured many small monsters, and we need a lot of manpower to suppress them.”

Li Lin frowned.

“This has nothing to do with me,” Jiang Jili shrugged and said. “This was an order from your father-in-law, Prefect Huang. Also, those who went with you to suppress the rebellion included the county magistrate of Beiliu County and several spirit hunters.”

A document was placed in front of Li Lin.

After taking a moment to look at it, Li Lin nodded, signed the document, and said, "I'll set off tomorrow."

"Take care on your journey," Jiang Jili said with a smile.

"You should also be careful," Li Lin said with a smile. "Those people from the Immortal Execution Society might cause you trouble too."

"So why did you provoke them?"

"They're the ones who provoked me. They slaughter civilians for no reason. If there's no one left, what use are we officials?"

Jiang Jili laughed and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. However, the Zhuxian Society sounds quite mysterious, but they may not dare to make a move against our Jiang family."

"You rock."

Li Lin gave a thumbs up and then left.

Jiang Jili sat back down in the main seat. He looked at the order documents on the table and sighed helplessly: "It's strange. Why does Huang Yan value Li Lin so much? He's clearly just the husband of his own concubine's daughter. Even at a time like this, he's still paving the way for him."
