"water droplets from gazing through autumn waters, an Immortal Herb. It can be used to refine the Douluo version of the ningshen pill, though the refining method for this pill is rather unique..."
Lin Chen recalled the Pill Formula described in the Pill Refining Technique rewarded to him by the system, stroked his chin, and muttered to himself.
Since the water droplets from gazing through autumn waters are droplets of water, the refining method naturally couldn't involve simply tossing them into the alchemy furnace.
The refining method for this unique pill was to prepare the pill first and then add the liquid; only then could the ningshen pill, which enhances mental power, be successfully refined.
After figuring out how to refine the ningshen pill...
Lin Chen gathered the supplementary medicinal ingredients needed for the pill refining within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and then sealed the water droplets from gazing through autumn waters using a specific method.
"Everything is ready. Begin the pill refining."
Lin Chen followed his usual steps: starting the fire, and circulating spirit power to control the heat...
Now that his Spirit Power Level had reached level thirty, using the alchemy furnace no longer drained his mind and spirit as much as before.
Half an hour passed.
Lin Chen slowly ceased circulating his spirit power and took out a pill that was nearing completion.
The moment the pill emerged, it emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.
However, the fragrance this time was inferior even to the pill refined from a single Immortal Herb for Dugu Yan, let alone the primal chaos holy dragon pill Ye Chen had refined using three Immortal Herbs.
The fragrance wasn't rich enough, but not because the pill's effects were poor.
It was because Lin Chen had not yet integrated the main ingredient, which was the Immortal Herb, the water droplets from gazing through autumn waters.
The refining technique this time was 'pill first, then liquid.' Only by dripping the water droplets from gazing through autumn waters onto the pill could it be fully completed.
The next moment.
Lin Chen quickly took out the recently sealed water droplets from gazing through autumn waters and dripped them onto the body of the pill.
As time passed, the fragrance of the pill in Lin Chen's hand became increasingly rich, and the pill body gradually began to emit a blue-white light.
After a while.
"It's done! The ningshen pill is finished!"
Extremely excited, Lin Chen instantly swallowed the ningshen pill and hurried to refine the pill that could enhance mental power.
Several hours passed.
After absorbing the medicinal power of the pill, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes and spoke toward the void:
"System, let me absorb the third ring."
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden stream of light shot out from the void once more, heading straight for Lin Chen's body.
Seeing this, Lin Chen slowly closed his eyes and began to absorb this second god-bestowed spirit ring.
Just like the scene from before, the second god-bestowed spirit ring changed from white to yellow, then purple, and gradually deepened into a dark purple.
Five thousand years, six thousand years... the age of the god-bestowed spirit ring kept increasing until it reached nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years, finally making the ultimate leap to become a black ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
But it wasn't over yet. The age of Lin Chen's third god-bestowed spirit ring continued to rise, eventually reaching a staggering twelve thousand years.
At the same time.
Lin Chen's Spirit Power Level also reached level forty, making him the youngest Soul Ancestor in the history of Spirit Masters.
"Sigh, what a pity. There were only two god-bestowed spirit rings. If three had been rewarded, I might have leaped straight to becoming a Spirit King."
Lin Chen shook his head, feeling a bit of regret in his heart.
The primal chaos holy dragon pill refined from three Immortal Herbs plus dozens of thousand-year spiritual herbs, combined with the addition of two god-bestowed spirit rings, had allowed him to successfully break through to Soul Ancestor.
As for that ningshen pill just now, it mainly enhanced mental power and didn't have a great effect on raising his Spirit Power Level.
But if there were one more god-bestowed spirit ring, Lin Chen felt he might truly have had a chance to reach Spirit King.
However, Lin Chen was in no hurry. As the diary content updated, there would be more god-bestowed spirit rings and more strength.
"I'll help Dugu Bo refine his pill first."
Remembering his promise to Dugu Bo, Lin Chen began searching the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for an Immortal Herb suitable for Dugu Bo to start refining for him.
Once Dugu Bo's toxin backlash issue was resolved, it would be easier for him to scavenge the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Lin Chen still had principles; since he had taken so many Immortal Herbs from Dugu Bo, he would grant Dugu Bo a significant opportunity in return.
In addition to refining pills for Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo using Immortal Herbs, Lin Chen also planned to gift that precious Poison Pill Technique to the two of them.
But by then, Lin Chen should have finished taking all the opportunities from the Immortal Herbs.
To a poison-attribute Spirit Master, the Poison Pill Technique was no less valuable than an Immortal Herb was to an ordinary Spirit Master.
Once a poison-attribute Spirit Master condensed a Poison Pill, they could not only perfectly control their own toxins but also see their strength reach a whole new level.
It could also greatly accelerate the cultivation speed of poison-attribute Spirit Masters, making it much easier to break through bottlenecks.
For example, if Dugu Bo successfully condensed a Poison Pill, he would no longer be the weakest Titled Douluo.
With a Poison Pill, Dugu Bo could easily fight against higher-level Titled Douluos and win.
Furthermore, in the future, Dugu Bo could even look forward to the realm of a level ninety-nine super Douluo.
This was the terrifying aspect of the Poison Pill Technique!
After gifting this Poison Pill Technique to the Dugu clan, Lin Chen would no longer owe them anything.
A day passed.
Lin Chen stayed in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his gaze turning toward the entrance from time to time.
"Why aren't they back yet? Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo after all; why is obtaining a spirit ring so slow?"
Just as he was wondering...
A hearty voice reached Lin Chen's ears, every word overflowing with joy.
"Haha, Lin Chen kid, my Yan Yan is now the youngest Soul Ancestor on the continent!"
As soon as the voice fell, Dugu Bo appeared in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Dugu Yan.
Both had bright smiles on their faces, clearly very happy.
"Sister Yanzi, what level are you now?"
Lin Chen glanced at Dugu Yan and asked curiously.
Hearing this, Dugu Yan unconsciously puffed out her slightly developing chest and said with a proud face:
"Little Brat, I am now a level forty-five Soul Ancestor. Am I amazing or what?"
"Now, I have reset the record for the youngest Soul Ancestor on the Douluo Continent. A level forty-five Soul Ancestor at twelve or thirteen years old—I ask you, who else is there!"
During this trip to obtain spirit rings, she had acquired two in a row. Coupled with the medicinal power of that pill, she had broken through nearly twenty levels directly from a level twenty-something Spirit Grandmaster.
What an incredible opportunity!
Even with rewards from the diary instance, it would be very difficult to achieve this without two years of effort.
After all, the rewards from the diary instance were varied; sometimes it was Spirit Power Levels, sometimes Martial Soul Evolution Fragments, and sometimes increases in spirit ring age...
But with Lin Chen's help, she had directly saved herself two years' worth of diary instance rewards.
After all, compared to a few days ago, not only was her toxin backlash problem resolved, but her Spirit had also leaped twice, evolving from the high-tier Jade Phosphor Serpent into the super Spirit Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor.
Her Spirit Power Level had also increased by nearly twenty levels, and her talent and aptitude had risen to the very top tier.
If the sisters in the Chat Group knew of her transformation, they would surely be envious beyond measure; in just a few days, she already had everything.
