120: The pet needs to be awakened three times

The shopkeeper said:

"This is only natural. Your beast pet has only undergone one Awakening through the Lower-Grade Spirit Transformation Pool. Look at the Yao Beasts of the Five Great Sects; which one hasn't experienced Awakenings through the Lower-Grade Spirit Transformation Pool, the Medium Grade Spirit Transformation Pool, and the High Grade Spirit Transformation Pool?"

Tang Tian was stunned; he hadn't expected such a claim.

Tang Tian asked:

"If it only awakens once, does my beast pet have a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

The shopkeeper said:

"Don't talk about just one Awakening; even if your beast pet awakened twice, reaching Foundation Establishment is very difficult. Even for the beast pets of the Five Great Sects, they only have a chance to reach Foundation Establishment after three Bloodline Awakenings."

Tang Tian asked:

"You gave me this map for Bloodline Awakening; surely you don't want nothing in return?"

Tang Tian didn't believe the shopkeeper was giving it away for free. After all, if the shopkeeper sold this Bloodline map to other families in Jinque City, he could get no less than 30,000 Spirit Stones.

The shopkeeper said:

"Naturally, it's not free. If you can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, you must refine it in front of me. This is very important to my Yunshui Pavilion."

"Additionally, I said I would prepare two Foundation Establishment Pills for you. I will give you two choices now: when you are able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, I will give you seven sets of Materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill... or I can still give you two Foundation Establishment Pills..."

So that was the plan. Tang Tian pondered and said:

"I choose the first one. You prepare seven sets of Foundation Establishment Pill Materials for me."

The shopkeeper said excitedly:

"Good! You can come find me when you break through to become a Profound Rank Second Grade Alchemist."

Tang Tian nodded and left...

Seeing Tang Tian about to leave, the shopkeeper asked:

"Are you really not buying anything? My Yunshui Pavilion's items are very cheap. Does your beast pet need beast pet food? My Yunshui Pavilion's beast pet food is also one of a kind."

Tang Tian ignored him and let the shopkeeper shout from behind...

Finally, the shopkeeper said:

"Fellow Daoist, don't forget to come help my Yunshui Pavilion refine the Body Tempering Pill once a month."

Tang Tian nodded and said:

"Okay."

Tang Tian walked out of the Yunshui Pavilion. A month had passed now... He didn't know when the Azure Wave Immortal Pool mentioned by Fourth Senior Sister would begin.

Tang Tian dared not slack off; he aimed to reach the Qi Refinement stage eight before the Azure Wave Immortal Pool. Currently, he was at the Lianqi Seventh Level, and if things went fast, he could reach the Qi Refinement stage eight in three months.

The main issue was that the spiritual energy in the Medicine Venerable Space was somewhat insufficient. Although he had collected many skeletons in the Medicine Venerable Space after intercepting the Murong Family that day, it was still not enough.

He estimated that if he refined all the Spirit Medicine in the Medicine Venerable Space into pills, it would be gone after four or five batches.

Unless he could intercept a few more Yao Beasts with Qi Refinement stage eight cultivation, it was out of the question...

Tang Tian sighed and said:

"I need to find time to restore the spiritual energy of the Medicine Venerable Space. It's a pity that only Spirit Medicine above Profound Rank Fourth Grade has an effect on me, but growing all the Spirit Medicine above Profound Rank Fourth Grade consumes at least 10% of the fertility of the Medicine Venerable Space."

"What should I do..."

Tang Tian racked his brains.

Suddenly, Tang Tian's eyes lit up and he said:

"From Jinque City to Qingmu County, and the surrounding counties, there have been constant thieves and rampant bandits. Why don't I uphold justice for the heavens? That should be enough for me to reach the Qi Refinement stage eight."

The more Tang Tian thought about it, the more he felt this idea was brilliant. Those bandits were just like the Grand Chief of Dulong Mountain. He had seen their cruelty; there was nothing wrong with killing them.

However, the immediate priority was to use the mature Spirit Medicine in the Medicine Venerable Space first...

It had been so long that the Profound Rank First Grade to Fourth Grade Spirit Medicine had long since grown to the point of being usable. He could open a few more human acupoints.

Tang Tian herded Da Huang and walked out of Jinque City, casually finding a cave to enter the Medicine Venerable Space...

Inside the Medicine Venerable Space, the fertility of the spiritual fields had decreased a lot, and the soil was somewhat cracked.

Tang Tian sighed, picked a handful of Profound Rank First Grade to Fourth Grade Spirit Medicine, and prepared to refine them.

Tang Tian ate these Spiritual Plants directly. First, he ate the Profound Rank First Grade Spirit Medicine he had bought earlier, then the Profound Rank Second Grade forging body spiritual medicine, and finally the Profound Rank Fourth Grade ones...

The medicinal power circulated within Tang Tian's body, and he used it to refine the remaining acupoints. These acupoints only needed enough spiritual energy to be refined; there was no difficulty.

As these Spirit Medicines were completely consumed, Tang Tian had already refined up to the fourth acupoint.

Actually, if these Spirit Medicines were used for Alchemy and Cultivation, Tang Tian's strength could also improve, but he would not regret using them to refine acupoints...

Tang Tian opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of turbid air. Because he had already refined two acupoints before, the situation of flames burning his whole body did not happen.

Tang Tian pondered:

"I have gained another two thousand jin of strength. I have only refined four acupoints, and I have a total of four thousand jin of strength. If I refine twelve acupoints, I'm afraid I'll have over ten thousand jin of strength."

Actually, ten thousand jin of strength was just the threshold for Foundation Establishment.

Tang Tian watched Big Goose and the others eat the Spirit Medicine they had consumed, and then replant the remaining Spirit Medicine seeds, feeling a sense of relief.

After the Spirit Medicine seeds were planted, they absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from the Medicine Venerable Space, and the Medicine Venerable Space soon became desolate.

However, despite this, the Spirit Medicine below Profound Rank Fifth Grade was still lush. These Spirit Medicines had very low effects on Tang Tian; he only used them when running away.

However, it was still quite good for Alchemy for Big Goose and the others.

Tang Tian said:

"Big Goose, take the Spirit Medicine below Profound Rank Fourth Grade and use it for Alchemy."

The animals in the Medicine Venerable Space were extremely excited, each one pulling out Spirit Medicine for Tang Tian to refine.

Tang Tian smiled and said:

"Da Huang, come here."

He took out the pill cauldron, divided these Spirit Medicines into one hundred portions, and after refining them quickly, there were tens of thousands more Medicinal Pills in the Medicine Venerable Space, enough for them to eat for a while.

It was enough for them to reach the Lianqi Fifth Level. Once they reached the Lianqi Fifth Level, he could take them out to absorb other Yao Beasts.

This Alchemy was just an interlude for Tang Tian...

Tang Tian picked up the Alchemy jade slip given by Qilin; this was the top priority.

He heard from Qilin that this could refine Beast Pills to improve cultivation.

Tang Tian did not hesitate to place the Beast Pill on his glabella and began to learn...

After all, he had quite a few Beast Pills now. He had one Lianqi Seventh Level Beast Pill and one Qi Refinement stage eight Beast Pill.

The Alchemy Cultivation Technique that Qilin gave to Tang Tian was called "Beast Pill Spirit Transformation Art". Its effect was to refine Beast Pills into Medicinal Pills, refining away the remnant phantoms of the Yao Beasts inside until human Cultivators could absorb them.

However, it had extremely high requirements for the Alchemist's fire control. If one was careless, the Beast Pill would explode, and for an Alchemist with insufficient strength, it would even cause injury.

But this "Beast Pill Spirit Transformation Art" had a very dangerous point: it required the Alchemist's Divine Sense to wipe away the remnant soul of the Yao Beast on the Beast Pill.

And Tang Tian's Beast Pills, one was a Lianqi Seventh Level Sand Scorpion, and one was a Qi Refinement stage eight Teng Snake; it was very dangerous.

After all, once the Divine Sense was injured, it required Spirit Medicine to restore the Divine Sense, and if the injury was more severe, it would be irreversible.

Tang Tian sighed and said:

"No wonder the mainstream Alchemy methods don't explain how to refine Beast Pills; it turns out it's so dangerous..."
