Upon hearing that Fang Lin wanted to refine pills, Dugu Nian also became interested at once and asked, “What pill do you want to refine?”
Fang Lin wore an inscrutable expression. “It’s a pill that you can’t refine.”
Dugu Nian huffed, “Even if I can’t, can’t you teach me? You’re still my master after all.’
Fang Lin shivered involuntarily; Dugu Nian’s slight whining was more than he could bear.
“You can watch while I refine the pills, but don’t disturb me, or I’ll throw you into the furnace and refine you too,” Fang Lin said helplessly.
Dugu Nian nodded repeatedly, her face full of excitement and anticipation.
What Fang Lin planned to refine was a type of third-grade pill called the Blood Evil Pill.
This pill ranks in the middle of the third-grade, not too difficult or too easy to refine.
However, in Fang Lin’s previous life, the recipe for the Blood Evil Pill was exclusively mastered by the Pill Saint Palace, and it was considered a forbidden pill.
Without the consent of the palace’s proprietor, no one was allowed to refine the Blood Evil Pill.
The reason was simple; though the Blood Evil Pill was only a third-grade pill, its potency was extremely terrifying.
One Blood Evil Pill could increase the inner strength of the user tenfold within six hours.
In other words, within six hours, the strength of the person who consumed the Blood Evil Pill would be ten times their usual strength.
What’s more frightening is that the Blood Evil Pill has severe side effects. Although consumption leads to increased strength, it also results in loss of the majority of one’s sanity.
An accurate description would be becoming a human-like monster that only knows slaughter and feels no pain.
Because of this, the Pill Saint Palace, where Fang Lin used to belong, firmly controlled the recipe for Blood Evil Pill and did not allow any leaks.
The consequences of the recipe being exposed would be unimaginable.
Fang Lin, being the prodigal disciple and the youngest Pill Sovereign of the Pill Saint Palace, naturally knew the recipe for refining the Blood Evil Pill.
Moreover, Fang Lin, with his extraordinary talent, had improved upon the recipe for the Blood Evil Pill. If refined by Fang Lin, the side effects would be significantly reduced.
Although there would still be side effects, at least some sanity would be retained.
Fang Lin did not know if the Blood Evil Pill recipe was passed down in the current era; he wasn’t even sure if anyone knew how to refine the Blood Evil Pill. However, according to Fang Lin’S estimation, even if the Blood Evil Pill recipe had been passed down, there would not be many who could refine it.
Fang Lin thought of refining the Blood Evil Pill just in case.
After all, he does not currently have the unrivaled strength he had in his previous life. With so many overt and covert enemies, he needed some life-saving measures.
The Blood Evil Pill is exactly the kind of pill that can unleash a glimmer of hope under desperate circumstances.
The two most important ingredients for refining the Blood Evil Pill are the Blood Vine, and the other ingredient can be substituted with the Phoenix Blood Jade Cleansing Flower.
Luckily, Fang Lin had the Phoenix Blood Jade Cleansing Flowers that he obtained from the Medicine-Seeking Peak, and now Wang Tianmu had brought him the Blood Vine. Everything was ready.
There was one more thing – Fang Lin no longer had a Pill Furnace for refining pills.
On the way back to the Purple Mist Sect, Fang Lin was chased down by Li Songwen. On the brink of death, Fang Lin reluctantly used the Golden Flame Cauldron to block Li Songwen’s attack.
The Golden Flame Cauldron was destroyed then and couldn’t be repaired.
However, Fang Lin never thought to fix it. After all, this Golden Flame Cauldron had been used for a long time, and while refining some low-grade pills was okay, refining pills above the second grade was quite strenuous.
Without the Golden Flame Cauldron, Fang Lin had to find another Pill Furnace to refine the pills.
Fortunately, many people had been sending gifts during this period, among which many sent pill furnaces.
After selecting one by one, Fang Lin finally chose a relatively good one.
In fact, the pill furnaces sent by these people were all quite good. It was just that Fang Lin had high standards and didn’t want to compromise; if he was going to use one, he would use the best.
A purple-red pill furnace, which had a nice shape and was decorated with patterns on its surface, looked quite delicate. It looked more like a pill furnace for women.
At least when Dugu Nian saw this pill furnace, her first words were how beautiful it was, which left Fang Lin speechless.
But being delicate was just that. After all, it was used to refine pills, so whether it looked good or not didn’t matter.
Compared with the previous Golden Flame Cauldron, this delicate pill furnace was of higher quality.
Although the material of the pill furnace was not rare, the casting process of the pill furnace was obviously from a master’s hand.
With the furnace selected and Dugu Nian prepared all the auxiliary materials for refining the Blood Evil Pill according to Fang Lin’s instructions.
Dugu Nian originally wanted to deduce what pill Fang Lin was going to refine from these auxiliary materials. However, after some thought, she was completely clueless. She recognized all these auxiliary materials, but when combined, she had no idea what pill they could possibly refine.
Feeling helpless, she could only hold back her curiosity and handed over the prepared auxiliary materials to Fang Lin.
Fang Lin placed the pill furnace in the courtyard, all the auxiliary herbs, and the two main ingredients by the side.
Fang Lin looked at the Pill Furnace, his brows furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.
Dugu Nian sat on one side, her eyes fixed on Fang Lin without blinking. Seeing Fang Lin be hesitant for a long time and not starting, she was a bit impatient.
“Hey, what are you doing? Aren’t you starting yet?” Dugu Nian urged.
Fang Lin didn’t respond to her. He walked up to the pill furnace, reached out, and flicked it.
The Dill furnace made a faint sound. Fane Lin touched the furnace again. then nodded his head.
Dugu Nian was left puzzled by Fang Lin’s actions. What was he doing? Was this a necessary part of the process before pill refining?
Dugu Nian wanted to ask, but seeing the serious expression on Fang Lin’s face, she held back.
Fang Lin wouldn’t explain anything to Dugu Nian. This was his habit prior to refining pills, to familiarize himself with an unfamiliar pill furnace.
From those two actions just now, Fang Lin was basically aware of this pill furnace’s heat resistance and durability. Once he knew these, he would have more confidence in refining the pill.
At present, Fang Lin slapped the pill furnace, a wisp of purple flame rose from underneath the pill furnace, soon covering half of the furnace.
Fang Lin stood aside, quietly waiting for the pill furnace to heat up.
In refining the Blood Evil Pill, Fang Lin didn’t plan to use the Shaking Three Mountains technique. Although Shaking Three Mountains could greatly reduce time, when refining a third-grade pill, based on Fang Lin’s current level, it was better to prioritize stability.
Once Fang Lin’s realm was further enhanced, he could boldly use Shaking
Three Mountains while refining the third-grade pills without reservations.
In the time it took an incense stick to burn, the pill furnace was hot. Fang Lin, quick as lightning, lifted the furnace lid and threw all the auxiliary materials into the pill furnace.
Dugu Nian’s eyes were glued to Fang Lin’s every move, she wanted to see, with all his secrecy, just what miraculous pill Fang Lin was going to refine..
