In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 89 Semi-Artificial Inner Alchemy Experiment (Part 1)

"Old Yue, Old Yang, it's me, Old Wang, here!"

Once inside the secret room, Wang Zhao, without any restraint, loudly and unrestrainedly greeted everyone.

However, there was no response.

"They're all not here..."

Wang Zhao paused, muttered something, then shook his head and walked to the narrow rest area to sit down. He casually picked up some snacks and put them in his mouth. Then he looked at the messy equipment and experimental table in the sealed room, his gaze lingering, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Not long after, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan and Yang Wudi arrived together, chatting and laughing.

Upon seeing Wang Zhao waiting there, their gazes were somewhat strange.

"Old Wang, didn't you just break through today? Why are you in such a hurry to come over?"

Yue Guan asked.

"I suddenly had a flash of inspiration."

As Wang Zhao spoke, he got up and walked towards the experimental table.

"You guys, on the other hand, seem to be quite busy lately."

"nonsense."

Yang Wudi rolled his eyes at Wang Zhao upon hearing this.

"I have to take charge of the Spirit Hall's alchemy tasks. As a Title Douluo, I also need to go out on business from time to time, unlike you, the mysterious Holy Son, who is leisurely and idle."

"Hehe, the capable should do more work, right?"

Wang Zhao smiled noncommittally.

The three then gathered around the experimental table.

Yue Guan first pressed her "jade hand" under the table, and soon several subtle mechanisms turned, the experimental table split and then rejoined in the middle, during which three jade boxes were slowly presented by the mechanism plate.

The jade box was opened, revealing three pure white, flawless pills that emitted a faint fragrance.

"Old Wang, this is a half-finished product that we've worked so hard to cobble together. Are you planning to use it for experiments, just because of your little inspiration?"

At this moment, Yang Wudi couldn't help but glance at Wang Zhao.

"You need to be careful."

"rest assured."

Wang Zhao waved his hand, and pure silver light attribute soul power appeared in his hand. The color of the soul power suddenly changed, turning into a touch of crimson gold.

In an instant, the temperature in the laboratory rose sharply.

"A light even hotter than real flames! I really don't know how you discovered that the inner core of a strange beast could be absorbed as a soul ring."

Yue Guan looked at the crimson-gold soul power in Wang Zhao's hand and clicked his tongue in amazement, his eyes also filled with undisguised envy.

If Wang Zhao had been born a few decades earlier and befriended him, he wouldn't have wasted too much of his potential in his youth, making it questionable whether he can even break through to Super Douluo now.

After all, through his interactions with Wang Zhao over the years, Yue Guan was absolutely convinced that as long as Wang Zhao was given a suitable platform to showcase his talents, he would definitely be able to shine even in the previous era.

"We also owe a lot to Mr. Yi's guidance."

Wang Zhao smiled faintly and then pushed the matter of the inner elixir onto Elder Yi.

This was something he had discussed with Elder Yi beforehand, and he had given the same explanation to Qian Daoliu two years ago. After all, his age was still a major disadvantage, and it would be more reasonable for the former "Necromancer Saint" to handle some matters. As for whether Qian Daoliu believed him or not, that was not his concern.

And surprisingly, Elder Yi never inquired too much about this. Perhaps any secrets of Wang Zhao had lost their meaning for him, a lonely traveler wandering through endless time and space.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan nodded, and couldn't help but marvel at Wang Zhao's good fortune—immortal herbs, inner core, and possibly even the remnant soul of a demigod-level powerhouse assisting him…

This is absolutely terrifying!

But despite the感慨 (feelings of deep emotion), which Title Douluo doesn't have unique luck? For example, he himself mutated from an ordinary chrysanthemum martial soul into the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

So in his view, it was just a "little bit" more outrageous than Wang Zhao's.

"What are you planning to do?"

Just then, Yang Wudi saw Wang Zhao put down two of the pills and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Zhao hold the remaining pill in his left palm with his silver soul power and then move it toward the blazing crimson-gold soul power in his right hand.

"Let's try to further improve this semi-finished product. Even if we don't make it a finished product, we should at least bring it one step closer to it."

As Wang Zhao spoke, he gave Yang Wudi a reassuring smile.

"What, you don't know how prudent I, Wang Zhao, am? Even if you're worried about my plans this time, you should at least trust the alchemy techniques you taught me, right? By the way, push the furnace over here."

"..."

Yang Wudi silently complied in the end.

Then, the half-finished pill, which Wang Zhao had lifted with his soul power, slowly floated above his two palms. Immediately afterward, the silver soul power in his left hand suddenly turned into a dark blue, emitting a chilling light that complemented the blazing red-gold on his right hand.

"Ice and Fire Refinement..."

Yang Wudi, who was the most skilled in alchemy among the three, immediately realized that Wang Zhao intended to use one of the alchemy techniques he had taught him: the Ice and Fire Refining Technique.

Such methods usually rely on external tools, requiring the alchemist to have excellent control over energy. However, this excludes special soul masters like Wang Zhao, who, while not possessing "ice and fire" energy, are even more powerful. He doesn't need particularly sophisticated control; if it's just ice and fire refining, it's as easy as using his own limbs to control ice and fire techniques.

At this moment, Yang Wudi was truly relieved and even began to look forward to it.

The same goes for Yue Guan. After all, every time Wang Zhao put forward a wildly imaginative idea, it actually had a high degree of practicality, and the two of them had learned a lot about it over the years.

If these three semi-finished products weren't so incredibly precious, Yang Wudi and Yue Guan would have had almost complete faith in Wang Zhao from the very beginning, rather than any doubt. After all, the three of them were from the Spirit Hall, and it was rare in the world for them to find kindred spirits who shared a common interest in herbs.

At this moment, Wang Zhao closed his eyes slightly.

The constantly pulsating light of soul power in his hand seemed to resonate with his will.

If you were to ask what exactly these three half-finished pills were, given that Wang Zhao, Yue Guan, and Yang Wudi had combined their efforts, they could only produce?

In essence, it's just a rudimentary inner core containing the property of "absorption," like the inner core of a mythical beast.

The two inner cores that originated from the Yanghua Dragon Sparrow and the Yinhua Dragon Sparrow inspired Wang Zhao. In his opinion, since inner cores can replace the function of soul rings, and suitable spirit beasts are hard to find, is it possible for him to create his own inner core, which is a soul ring, that is, a soul ring that suits him?

The answer is undoubtedly yes, it is feasible.

However, compared to soul beasts, the whereabouts of primordial beasts are definitely much harder to find, so he didn't have good experimental conditions. As for the ten-headed blazing sun serpent in the Hell Road of the Slaughter City...

Although Bibi Dong, as a God of Slaughter, can freely enter the City of Slaughter, she cannot retrace the path of hell. It wouldn't be right for Wang Zhao to specially send a body-refining genius with the aptitude of a God of Slaughter to do so, would it? It's not even known if there is one in the Spirit Hall, so let's wait and see.
