Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Finally, on the tenth batch, a medicinal fragrance wafted from the cauldron.

Lin Bei patted the cauldron, and three pale yellow pills flew out of the cauldron and landed in his palm.

The pills are pale yellow, and each one has two clear red lines on its surface, gleaming softly in the sunlight.

"It's done!"

Lin Bei poured the pill into his palm and smiled happily.

Zhang Zhiling nodded: "Not bad. You got two pill patterns on your first success, which is better than what I had back then."

"How many did you manage to train on your first try?"

"That's not important."

Zhang Zhiling promptly changed the subject, "Keep practicing, let's see what else you can come up with."

In fact, when he first learned alchemy, he failed more than ten times before he barely succeeded.

Lin Bei has already successfully refined three pills on his ninth attempt; his talent is truly remarkable.

Lin Bei didn't press the matter and continued to bury himself in alchemy for the next few days.

He spent almost all his time refining elixirs.

He practiced during the day and at night, and when he got tired, he would sit down to recover his magical power.

As the medicinal herbs were used up one batch after another, the failure rate gradually decreased.

Initially, I succeeded two or three times out of ten, then four or five times out of ten, and later the success rate dropped to seven or eight times.

The more he refined the Spirit Gathering Pills, the smoother the process became, and the number of pills produced and the level of their patterns steadily increased.

When he used up the last batch of Earth Spirit Grass, he was able to produce six pills with five patterns on them.

At this moment, the space stone contained hundreds of Spirit Gathering Pills.

The best batches achieved six lines of cinnabar patterns. Although they are not top-grade, they are quite good for a beginner.

Little Bai Ling has also benefited from this, chewing on the Spirit Gathering Pill as a snack every day.

The spiritual light emanating from the little guy grew increasingly intense, and his cultivation level increased significantly, reaching over fifty years of experience.

"Master...this is so delicious..." Bai Ling's voice rang in his mind, her little head rubbing against his trouser leg.

"Even if it tastes good, don't eat it as a meal."

Lin Bei rubbed her head. "This thing is for restoring spiritual energy, not candy."

Bai Ling blinked, looking like she didn't understand.

Zhang Zhiling sat beside Lin Bei, looking at him with a complicated expression: "Your talent... is truly enviable."

"When I was learning alchemy, it took me more than half a month to stabilize the pills."

"Then how can you say you succeeded on your first try?" Lin Bei glanced at him.

"Ahem...that's about saving face." Zhang Zhiling chuckled.

At this moment, after Xiao Bailing finished digesting a Spirit Gathering Pill, she opened her little eyes and stared pitifully at Lin Bei.

Lin Bei couldn't stand its gaze, so he fed it a pill.

"Hey... this is the last one, we're poor, we have to be frugal!"

Zhang Zhiling looked at his fatherly expression and her face twitched twice: "I see now, you treat this fox better than your senior brother."

"Of course, that traitorous senior brother... we'll have to be careful from now on!"

"Hahaha!!!"

Lin Bei caught a glimpse of Zhang Zhiling laughing heartily, and taking advantage of his inattention, he waved his hand and stored the pill cauldron into his spatial stone.

Zhang Zhiling froze for a moment, then suddenly realized what she meant: "Hey! What are you doing with my alchemy cauldron?!"

"What are you doing?" Lin Bei looked at him blankly.

"Where is my alchemy cauldron?"

"The alchemical cauldron? What alchemical cauldron?"

"That's the one you just used for alchemy!"

"Is there?"

Lin Bei blinked. "I don't remember having this."

Zhang Zhiling pointed at his nose: "You...you're so shameless!"

"They just took someone else's things like that!"

"And...and right in front of me..."

"I really don't remember."

Lin Bei shook his head seriously, "I have a bad memory, I probably forgot."

"Damn it, I smuggled those out of the sect!"

"You say it's yours, so it's yours? Do you have any proof? Is your name written on it?"

"Lin Bei! Have you no shame?!"

"What's a face? Can you eat it?"

"I, Lin Bei, am notoriously shameless!"

Seeing Lin Bei's nonchalant attitude, Zhang Zhiling was both amused and annoyed: "Fine, you win. I'll consider it a donation to help the poor."

"Poverty alleviation? You make it sound like I've wronged you." Lin Bei grinned.

"Then give it back to me."

"I won't pay it back."

Give it back to me.

"I won't pay it back, so I won't pay it back."

The two chased and played in the forest, with Bai Ling excitedly following behind.

The two walked together for the rest of the journey, and they were not lonely along the way.

Lin Bei deliberately chose to travel through deep mountains and forests, partly to avoid the towns that had become somewhat chaotic, and partly to search for medicinal herbs.

Zhang Zhiling initially thought he was just restless, but later discovered that this guy wasn't just wandering around aimlessly.

Lin Bei could always find hidden medicinal herbs in what seemed like an ordinary thicket, or dig out ancient spiritual herbs from an inconspicuous rock crevice.

What's the difference between this and a giant treasure-hunting rat?

"You're quite sensitive to elixirs."

Zhang Zhiling watched as Lin Bei carefully dug out a thirty-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, roots and all, and couldn't help but say something.

"We can't let our journey be in vain."

Lin Bei put the Ganoderma lucidum into his spatial stone. "If I can find some medicinal herbs along the way, it'll be good for building up my future wealth."

Bai Ling squatted down beside him, her little paws digging at the soil that Lin Bei had just dug out, as if she were helping him out.

The little guy has grown quite a bit recently, his fur is even shinier, and his eyes are becoming more and more lively.

"Then why are you keeping the seeds?"

Zhang Zhiling watched as he carefully put several Ganoderma lucidum spores into the jade box.

"Plant it in the space stone first."

Lin Bei didn't even look up. "Anyway, there's plenty of space inside. We haven't gotten our hands on the spiritual vein yet, but who knows what will happen in the future?"

"You're thinking ahead."

"That's right, how can a person live without foresight?"

Every time he found a medicinal herb, he would keep some of the seeds and carefully store them in his spatial stone.

The space inside his spatial stone was large enough, and as his cultivation level increased, the space inside was slowly expanding.

According to Master Qingwei, this space stone has the potential to grow into a grotto-heaven world if it is refined with enough space attribute materials.

Then, by integrating these spiritual veins and having these spiritual herb seeds, he can cultivate his own private spiritual herb field!

Bai Ling is fortunate, as she can chew on a Spirit Gathering Pill like candy every day.

After the little guy finished eating, he would curl up beside his legs to refine the spiritual energy, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy on his body grew stronger day by day.

"Master, this pill tastes really good."

Bai Ling's voice rang out in her mind, carrying a hint of satisfaction.

"Haha...It's delicious, isn't it?"

Lin Bei smiled and patted her head, "When we find better medicinal herbs in the future, we'll refine even better pills for you."

Watching the interaction between the human and the fox, Zhang Zhiling felt a pang of envy: "Where did you find that fox? I'll try my luck sometime."

Lin Bei's eyes flickered slightly: "Uh... I found it in a fox den in the mountains."

Looking at his guilty expression, Zhang Zhiling had already guessed seven or eight parts of what was going on.

He didn't say anything, but just gave Lin Bei a meaningful look, and then rubbed Xiao Bailing's head.

"Then you really met a good person."

Lin Bei didn't know how to explain it.

He can't exactly say, "I picked up this fox after I killed its mother."

Now that Xiao Bai Ling has developed intelligence, who knows what will happen if she learns the truth someday?
