934: Refining the Beast Tempering Pill

After the Old Man finished speaking, he also disappeared.

Hearing the other party's two sentences, Du Xingchen understood even more meaning.

The Old Man saying his methods were good meant he acknowledged his strategy.

And saying he hoped to see him in the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination was an expectation of his Cultivation Aptitude.

Hemp Robe Supreme is a Divine Hall Elder. Without being invited by a local area, if he wants to watch the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination, he can only watch it in God's Temple Main City. So, he must break into the top hundred to go to God's Temple Main City, the final trial ground!

If he truly reached that point, he would likely gain the Supreme's regard and then receive strong Cultivation from the Divine Hall that he helped him apply for!

If it were an ordinary person who knew this, they would definitely be extremely excited, thinking about how to work hard.

Du Xingchen, however, was indifferent to this.

He was dealing with the protagonist, Moyun.

And Moyun's spot in the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination was first place, so the ranking he wanted to compete for was naturally first place.

To that extent, even without Hemp Robe Supreme saying anything, the Divine Hall, including all major forces, would do their best to recruit and Cultivate him.

Now that the Goddess was temporarily stabilized, it was quite good.

However, he still couldn't relax. Although there was the constraint of this threat, the Goddess was ultimately by Moyun's side, and there was still a risk of exposure.

During this period, only by quickly establishing authority and leadership in the hearts of the other team members could he truly possess the ability to distort right and wrong.

...

"Howl!"

Just as Du Xingchen was walking towards the 16th Stronghold, he suddenly heard a chorus of wolf howls by his ear.

Turning his head, he saw five Desert Wolves surrounding him.

Looking at the aura on these Desert Wolves, the weakest was at least twenty years old, and the strongest even reached fifty years old!

No wonder there weren't many people moving outside the stronghold. Not only was the weather bad, but these predators were also active frequently.

Being able to encounter five Desert Wolves at such a short distance from the stronghold was enough to explain the situation.

"Just right to try refining pills." Looking at these five guys, Du Xingchen rubbed his hands.

...

"Why hasn't Du Xingchen returned yet? Can he really catch up to Qing Youyu?" In the inn room, Sun Yingying looked out the window, very worried.

"Don't worry, Xingchen is very capable. He can definitely bring Qing Youyu back," Liangcai Sword said, trying to comfort her dryly.

While the two were anxiously waiting, they suddenly both felt the communication tokens on their bodies tremble slightly.

Communication tokens, everyone in their team had them, they were used for team members to send messages to each other.

This type of item was very widespread in this World and not uncommon.

"Come out for a bit, I'm outside the stronghold, Qing Youyu is here too." Du Xingchen's voice appeared through the communication token.

Hearing this, Liangcai Sword and Sun Yingying exchanged glances, then immediately set off.

Not long after.

When the two arrived outside the stronghold, they could see Du Xingchen and Qing Youyu, who looked in very poor condition, standing on an open space swept by cold wind.

"Qing Youyu!" Sun Yingying exclaimed, and immediately used her Holy Healing Scepter Martial Soul to heal her.

Liangcai Sword, who followed closely, was about to ask something when he turned his head and saw the five Desert Wolves on the ground.

Three of these Desert Wolves had already died.

Judging from the cards floating above them, they hadn't been dead long.

At a glance, they were just some Beast of decades old.

"Xingchen, why did you ask everyone to come out?" Liangcai Sword asked with some doubt.

This place wasn't close to the stronghold, and since it was night, there were even fewer people.

Calling everyone here this time seemed like there was something secret.

"To give you something good to eat." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Du Xingchen no longer hesitated, and began to draw with both hands towards a Desert Wolf corpse in front of him.

Streaks of ethereal runes condensed from mid-air.

The moment the astonishingly beautiful patterns took shape, they suddenly condensed into a ball of faint purple Fire, floating on the Desert Wolf's corpse.

The second rune took shape, condensing into a second flame.

Each flame was like a flower, gorgeously scattered on the Desert Wolf's corpse, as if mourning its death.

However, in the next moment, these flower-like flames instantly emitted intense high temperature, permeating the Desert Wolf's corpse!

Under waves of heat, the Desert Wolf's corpse was burned at a speed visible to the naked eye!

No, perhaps it would be more accurate to say it was devoured.

The intense flames devoured the Desert Wolf's corpse inch by inch, melting the essence blood and essence flesh within it inch by inch!

Under such changes, the Soul-condensed card above this Desert Wolf also began to have strands of energy drawn out and mixed into the flames!

The flames began to gather, and under the amazed gazes of Liangcai Sword, Sun Yingying, and Qing Youyu beside him, this ball of flame slowly gathered into a Pill Furnace.

The Desert Wolf's corpse had completely disappeared, and along with it, the Soul Card that had been completely devoured!

At this moment, the surrounding temperature also warmed up considerably.

In the time it takes to steep a cup of tea.

The space trembled slightly, the flame-condensed Pill Furnace instantly dispersed, and then, formed within the chaotic heat waves, were only five white, jade-like pills!

Reaching out, the five pills landed in his hand.

On the pills, under the influence of the Soul Card's power, the pattern of a Desert Wolf had even emerged.

Just the escaping fragrance of the pills could make one's blood surge!

The five pills in his hand represented the complete blood and energy of an entire Desert Wolf!

"Xingchen, you directly refined this Desert Wolf into pills?!" Liangcai Sword's astonished voice sounded at this moment.

"That's right, try them." Du Xingchen threw the five pills in his hand to the other party.

"To actually be able to refine five pills in such a short time... I didn't expect you to be a pill refining master!" Liangcai Sword exclaimed in admiration after receiving the pills.

Qing Youyu, who was beside him, was even more moved.

She had just witnessed this guy's strength, and she didn't expect that the other party actually had another method that could be called master-level!

"What is the effect of these pills?" Liangcai Sword asked.

"For tempering the body, it's my unique secret method. You'll know the specific effects of the pills after you eat them. You can eat all five at once." Du Xingchen didn't explain too much. These pills would become useless after a little over a minute, so he couldn't delay.

Seeing his teammate urging him, Liangcai Sword also didn't hesitate and directly threw the five pills into his mouth.

Before he could even report the taste, he immediately felt a surging power spreading within his body!

His expression turned serious, and Liangcai Sword immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, diligently refining it.

Seeing the other party enter the refining state, Du Xingchen didn't stop. He then began to perform the refining method for Beast Tempering Pill on the next Desert Wolf.

A moment later, another five Body Tempering Pills were in his hand.

"Sun Yingying, these are yours." Du Xingchen threw the refined pills to the other party.

These five Beast Tempering Pills were refined from the corpse of a twenty-year-old Desert Wolf.

The medicinal effect was a bit weaker, which was also suitable for her current Physique.

"Can I eat this thing?" Sun Yingying looked at the five pills in her hand, feeling a sense of repulsion.

If it weren't for Du Xingchen being a team member, she probably wouldn't even accept this kind of pill.

"Yes!" Beside her, Liangcai Sword, who was refining the medicinal power, suddenly opened his eyes and briefly but certainly uttered this word.

Afterward, he immediately closed his eyes again and began to refine the medicinal power of the pills.

Seeing the person who ate the pills first respond so confidently, Sun Yingying put down the repulsion in her heart, paused, and also put the five pills into her cherry mouth.

After the time it takes to steep a cup of tea, Du Xingchen threw the new five pills to Qing Youyu: "If you want to go save Wen Xiu Cheng by yourself, you have to pass my test. And to pass my test, you must improve your strength. These pills can enhance your strength."

After speaking, Du Xingchen looked at the remaining two unconscious Desert Wolves.

To prevent the Desert Wolf's Soul Card from dissipating during his pill refining process after it died, he had knocked out these last two Desert Wolves.

With a raise of his hand and a drop of the blade, accompanied by a whimper, one of the Desert Wolves also directly went to Heaven.

After some time.

Du Xingchen looked at the five white, pearl-like pills in his hand and swallowed them all in one gulp.

In just an instant, a large amount of energy surged unstoppably and spread within his body!

This feeling was like large amounts of muscle being forcefully stuffed into his body, his bones and body began secondary development, and even his hair started growing rapidly!

The refining process wasn't fast.

Du Xingchen could be said to have discovered a flaw in these pills.

However, this was 'not fast' in his mindset. If compared to other Body Tempering pills, it was actually not much different.

After all, tempering the body wasn't like eating a meal, where you could just eat a few bites and be done.

After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Du Xingchen suddenly felt another surging power. He didn't need to refine it; after appearing out of thin air, it directly acted upon his entire body!

This was the 30% of power that Liangcai Sword fed back to him after completely refining the Beast Tempering Pill!

Before long, two more similar powers acted upon his entire body!

Half an hour later.

The moment Du Xingchen opened his eyes, he immediately saw Liangcai Sword who was close by.

"Xingchen! Xingchen, what kind of pills are those?! They actually directly increased my body strength by one level! This is too Heaven-Defying! You are the hidden boss of our team!"

Liangcai Sword was practically on his knees at this moment. The surge in physical strength after just taking the pills still felt somewhat unreal to him.

It wasn't that there were no pills for tempering the body on the market.

But most of those pills only temporarily tempered the body and required various medicinal soups to consolidate and retain that power.

Not only that, but those pills would basically have medicinal residue left in the body. A small amount of residue wasn't much, but once it accumulated too much, it would definitely affect one's Foundation.

But the Body Tempering pills produced by Du Xingchen actually didn't have any pill residue at all!

This was simply unbelievable!

Pushing away Liangcai Sword's scruffy face, Du Xingchen stretched: "These pills are called Beast Tempering Pills. I presume you've just experienced their Heaven-Defying qualities. For the next three days, let's make hunting Beast and refining Beast Tempering Pills to improve our physical strength our main objective, how about it?"

"Of course, I have no problem, I definitely support it! Whatever Captain says goes!" Liangcai Sword affirmed three times in a row, even changing his title.

"Du Xingchen, can you sell your pill refining method to our Saint Healing Sect? When we go back, I'm willing to help you contact Father, let him discuss it with you in detail, and he will definitely give you a satisfactory price." After Sun Yingying ate the pills, she also understood how precious they were.

Pills for tempering the body were most needed by supportive Soul Card Masters like her who didn't have much defensive capability!

After all, her body was inherently frail, and being approached by an offensive Soul Card Master was a disaster.

If her physical strength increased, it would be different.

If the Saint Healing Sect mastered the refining method of the pill she just ate, it would be a reform for the entire Saint Healing Sect!

"Let's discuss this matter later." Du Xingchen didn't directly refuse.

Actually, even if he wanted to sell this pill refining method, there was no way to sell it.

The System gave him the pill refining method, not a pill refining manual.

There were only the most top-tier operations; as for the basic learned operating methods, there were none at all.

The reason he didn't refuse Sun Yingying was that doing so could increase his importance in the Saint Healing Sect's heart by another degree, allowing for more investment in himself.

Investing in him was always better than investing in Moyun, who would eventually bite back.

Turning his head to look at the last Desert Wolf on the ground, which had woken up but was still pretending to be unconscious, Du Xingchen once again raised his hand and dropped the blade, starting a new round of pill refining.

Jiaolong Valley opens in three days. These three days are enough time for him and these teammates to significantly increase their strength.
