Beast Taming Makes Me Stronger
Chapter 107: Research

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Research

"This Spirit Pill, is it modelled after the inner core of the Thunder Tiger?" Xu Feng was shocked as he looked at the Spirit Pill in his hand.

In the Dao of Alchemy, using the inner core or essence blood of a Spiritual Beast as ingredients is considered the most advanced operation among Spirit Level Alchemists.

Because even the inner cores from the same type of Spiritual Beasts differ, this leads to extremely high difficulty in alchemy.

Most importantly, to use the inner core of a Spiritual Beast as an ingredient, it must be extracted within a month to ensure that the spirit of the core does not dissipate.

Xu Feng’s creation of the Tiger Flood Dragon Pill during his Alchemy exchange also used the inner core of a Spiritual Beast, and the most crucial reason he could do so was because of the availability in the Treasure Vault.

"Junior Brother Xu has keen insight, but this Spirit Pill is still immature; I need to study it for a while longer."

"If Junior Brother Xu is willing, we can research together and share the results according to contribution when we succeed."

Zhou Minghe invited, realizing during their alchemy discussion that this junior brother’s alchemy realm is not inferior to his own.

"To study together is what I could only hope for, but Brother Zhou, please do not speak of rewards," Xu Feng shook his head.

"I underestimated myself there," Zhou Minghe said as he handed over four Jade Scrolls to Xu Feng.

"These contain my recent insights into transforming essence blood into pills and turning pills into spirit pills; Junior Brother Xu can take them back to study. Come directly to Xuyun Peak when you need to experiment."

"I got approval from Xiao Hei for a quota of 100,000 Immortal Crystals specifically for research, feel free to use it extravagantly, and I can ask Xiao Hei for more if it isn’t enough."

Xu Feng looked at Zhou Minghe with great admiration.

What is vision, what is insight, what is being an elder brother?

At this moment, Xu Feng felt that Zhou Minghe was destined to become the leader of the Alchemy lineage in Taichu Sacred Land.

"Don’t look at me like that; I have my selfish reasons too, hoping to leverage your help to advance this research more quickly."

Zhou Minghe took out a Life Water Spirit Pill from the Jade Medicine Box, placed it into boiling tea, and brewed a new pot of tea for Xu Feng.

"I won’t let Brother Zhou down," Xu Feng said earnestly.

"I have already had Xiao Hei grant you access, just come over directly when you need to experiment, and ask Xiao Hei directly if you have any questions," Zhou Minghe instructed.

Xu Feng nodded.

In the Xu Family Courtyard, inside the Cultivation Room, Xu Feng held a Jade Scroll, delving deeply into it.

His expression alternated between confusion and clarity. After he finished reading all the contents of the four Jade Scrolls, his Divine Thought entered the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World.

Though only Divine Thought cannot cultivate, when contemplating certain topics, he could still make use of the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World.

"Using pills to transform essence blood, using pills to replace inner cores is absolutely feasible, but the material composition for the pills needs to be carefully selected."

"The difficulty is even greater than creating a new pill recipe."

As he entered the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World, numerous inspirations about this subject bloomed in Xu Feng’s mind.

Seizing the inspiration, Xu Feng quickly solidified these ideas in his memory.

The next day, Xu Feng went to Taichu Sacred Land, Xuyun Peak.

Guided by Xiao Hei, he arrived in a small secret realm.

"Xiao Hei, Phoenix Spirit Grass, Hundred-Life Flower, two-thousand-year Blood Lotus..."

As a series of materials burst forth, a Transfer Array appeared not far from Xu Feng.

The reported materials emerged one by one from the Transfer Array.

Taking out an Absolute Grade Treasure Pill Furnace, Xu Feng began to experiment.

An hour later, a batch of Spirit Pills that could replace Phoenix Essence Blood was formed.

"The purity is a bit higher than Brother Zhou’s Spirit Pills, but it’s still only enough to make Phoenix Blood Pills, not enough to meet the Phoenix Nirvana Pill’s criteria," Xu Feng pondered looking at the Elixirs in front of him.

"This recipe still needs adjustment; the concentration must be increased."

"Xiao Hei, does the Sect have any Phoenix Blood Grass being cultivated?"

In the Alchemy lineage of Taichu Sacred Land, there are countless secret realms just for growing Spiritual Medicines, you could almost say that any plantable Spiritual Medicine is available.

"Yes, but they are all irrigated with hybrid Phoenix blood."

Two stalks of Phoenix Blood Grass subsequently emerged from the Transfer Array.

Thus, Xu Feng sat in the experimental secret realm and began to reconstruct the pill recipe.

Xu Feng was so passionate about this because if he could master replacing inner cores with Spirit Pills, he could potentially concoct many Absolute Grade Spirit Pills.

And these Spirit Pills could significantly enhance combat power.

At this time, Zhou Minghe arrived in the small secret realm.

"Junior Brother Xu, any new ideas?" Zhou Minghe asked with a smile.

Xu Feng handed over the Spirit Pills he had refined.

"If the concentration were a bit higher, perhaps it could replace Phoenix Essence Blood in making minor Phoenix Nirvana Pills."

"So now, I am trying to increase the concentration of these Phoenix Essence Blood Spirit Pills. If successful, we might be able to mass-produce the Phoenix Nirvana Pills," Xu Feng said.

"If so, Junior Brother Xu should be credited greatly."

"Xiao Hei promises, if successful and the cost is low, a reward of 100,000 Immortal Crystals."

"If the research on replacing inner cores with Spirit Pills to stably concoct various Divine Beast Spirit Pills is successful, a reward of 150,000 Immortal Crystals."

"The research I’ve conducted so far is still just superficial, far from meeting Xiao Hei’s requirements."

"If successful, this amount of Immortal Crystals will be divided according to contribution; after all, it’s not a small amount," Zhou Minghe patted Xu Feng’s shoulder.

At that moment, the only thought in Xu Feng’s mind was the 250,000 Immortal Crystals; even if he only got half, he could revive the Nine Palace Jade Toad.

A fire of determination blazed in Xu Feng’s eyes as he looked at Zhou Minghe.

"Brother, leave it to me!"

"Alright, I need to go out for a bit during this time; I’ll leave this research to you, junior brother."

The two then exchanged their insights.

"Don’t worry, senior brother, I won’t leave this secret realm until I meet Little Black’s standards," Xu Feng said with determination in his eyes.

"I believe Xu Feng can succeed."

Zhou Minghe nodded and left.

The experiment in the secret realm’s miniature world left Xu Feng all alone.

"Little Black, Phoenix Spirit Grass, Wind Blood Grass, Mutated Fruit, Heaven..."

Xu Feng began adjusting the Dan Recipe, repeatedly refining and improving the purity of the Spirit Pill that substituted Phoenix Essence Blood.

Three months later, Xu Feng produced a furnace of a low-grade version of the Mini Phoenix Nirvana Pill.

The effect was only sixty percent of the normal Mini Phoenix Nirvana Pill.

"Little Black, does this count as meeting the standard?" Xu Feng habitually looked up and asked.

"If not, your improved Dan Recipe is very valuable, and if research stops here, a reward of ten thousand Immortal Crystals can be issued," Little Black’s indifferent voice responded.

"Ten thousand? Shouldn’t you reward sixty thousand Immortal Crystals based on the effect?" Xu Feng argued.

Little Black did not respond, showing disinterest in dealing with Xu Feng.

"So be it, Little Black, let’s adjust the Dan Recipe again."

Six months later, Xu Feng looked at the furnace of Mini Phoenix Nirvana Pills, his mouth almost splitting to his ears.

"Little Black, see how awesome I am!"

"Standard achieved, reward issued. As per contribution ratio, you get seventy percent and can collect Immortal Crystals from the Treasure Vault Realm anytime."

"Additionally, you don’t have this thing, and I won’t look at it," Little Black’s words carried a hint of amusement.

In the Kunxu Realm, Zhou Minghe, who was engaged in alchemy, suddenly received a message from Little Black.

"Junior brother Xu Feng has succeeded!" Zhou Minghe exclaimed in delight.

He quickly checked the Dan Recipe sent by Little Black that could substitute Phoenix Essence Blood.

"A genuine genius, truly brilliant and remarkable!"

"By adjusting two types of Dan Recipes, he forcefully refined the Mini Phoenix Nirvana Pill with full effect!"

At that moment, a puff of black smoke emerged from the alchemy furnace.

The joyous Zhou Minghe did not pay attention, extinguishing the Spiritual Fire and walking out.

"Senior brother, do you remember my research on substituting the Phoenix Essence Blood Spirit Pill and incorporating it into the Blood Phoenix Pill?" Zhou Minghe entered another alchemy room, grand like a palace, and excitedly spoke to an Immortal Level Alchemist.

"I know, initially master valued this matter highly, did you succeed?" the Immortal Level Alchemist said.

Zhou Minghe didn’t speak but handed a Jade Scroll to the Immortal Level Alchemist.

"Why pose it like a mystery, just tell," the Immortal Level Alchemist took the Jade Scroll and began reading it.

His expression shifted from serious to shocked in just a moment.

"Who is this? Given your Alchemy Dao level and researched Medicine Scripture, you couldn’t have altered these two Dan Recipes."

"Purifying Phoenix Spirit Grass and Phoenix Blood Grass, neutralizing with Mutated Fruit."

"I look at the analysis cost; although still a bit expensive, it can now be mass produced."

"In future battles in the Kunxu Realm, our Human Clan has gained another tactic," the Immortal Level Alchemist said excitedly.

"It was junior brother Xu Feng who researched this, and he is currently a core sponsored disciple."

"According to Elder Jiang’s inference, junior brother Xu must have received an Alchemy Inheritance, and the Medicine Scripture in the inheritance is definitely not simple," Zhou Minghe stated.

"So you took the opportunity to let him research this," the Immortal Level Alchemist queried.

"It was junior brother Xu who asked first, then I had this idea, and it seems I was right."

"How did the Sect reward this?"

"Ten thousand Immortal Crystals, three for me and seven for him."

"There’s more research on using Spirit Pills to substitute inner cores, if successful, all one hundred fifty thousand Immortal Crystals will go to junior brother Xu."

While Zhou Minghe was speaking, he had Little Black start preparing to mass produce the modified Mini Phoenix Nirvana Pills.

Xu Family Courtyard, once Xu Feng returned, he went straight to his resting room.

"Now I have eighty-two thousand more Immortal Crystals, still eighteen thousand short of the target."

"Rest well now, and later we can solve that inner core issue."

With that, Xu Feng lay down on his bed and fell into a deep sleep.

This period he had been constantly modifying various Dan Recipes in the experimental world without much rest, feeling intensely sleepy only after returning to the Xu Family Courtyard.

Meanwhile, in the Kunxu Realm, every Spirit Level and Immortal Level Alchemist received the modified Mini Phoenix Nirvana Pill Recipe sent by Little Black.

"Full preparations, are they eyeing the Demon Domain?"

"Who researched this Dan Recipe? So impressive!"

"Did our two great Saint Level Alchemists make a move?"

The alchemists of the Taichu Sacred Land were all stirred up.

Xu Feng slowly woke up, got dressed with the help of Xiao Xue and Xiao Rou, and went to the dining room.

In the dining room, Xu Ming was having breakfast.

"Big brother, I heard you’ve made some research breakthroughs, congratulations!"

"The first part is indeed researched," Xu Feng said, taking out a Storage Bag and handing it to Xu Ming.
