Lin Chen tried to speculate, but he couldn’t determine which was stronger or weaker.
"However, if there’s a chance, I truly need to ask a Martial King to personally take action and kill a Fourth Tier Demon Beast to see..."
Wang Lishan’s tone didn’t sound like a joke; he genuinely had this idea.
At worst, it would just be a waste of so Fourth Tier Demon Beast’s flesh essence.
"By the way, according to the records of that pill formula of yours, this Ox and Tiger Pill can be taken up to three tis by a person."
"The effect halves each ti, so if I only took the ones refined from Third Tier Demon Beast flesh, wouldn’t I be at a huge loss?"
A trace of annoyance flickered in Wang Lishan’s eyes.
Two thousand kilograms of strength wasn’t much of an improvent for him.
But if it were indeed Ox and Tiger Pills refined from Fourth Tier Demon Beast flesh, it would be a substantial boost even for him.
Wang Lishan felt a bit regretful; he wanted to take the Ox and Tiger Pills made from Fourth Tier Demon Beasts.
Hearing Wang Lishan’s words, Lin Chen fell into deep thought.
In the Cultivation Realm, those refined from Third Tier Demon Beast flesh are called Ox and Tiger Pills.
It’s because in the Cultivation Realm, there are low-tier demon beasts known as Celestial Cyan Ox and Wind Tiger.
The combined strength of these two low-tier demon beasts is roughly five thousand jin...
But, if it’s a higher-level strength-enhancing pill, would it still be called an Ox and Tiger Pill?
Could it be that the pill formula is different, with different demon beast ingredients?
With this in mind, Lin Chen shook his head and said:
"Uncle Wang, I speculate that the strength-enhancing body refinent pills in the Cultivation Realm might not be limited to just Ox and Tiger Pills, just like the Qi Blood Pill before..."
"Perhaps Fourth Tier Demon Beasts can be refined into even higher-level body refinent pills... so there’s no need to feel regretful."
Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Wang Lishan’s mood improved considerably.
He smacked his lips and said:
"Chen, I’ll leave the matter of refining these Ox and Tiger Pills to you, alright?"
"As for the dicinal materials... you don’t need to worry. In the future, any Third Tier Demon Beasts hunted in the Martial Realm, I won’t allow them to be eaten!"
"They must all be refined into Ox and Tiger Pills first..."
Obviously, a tenfold increase in utilization was enough to change the entire Martial Path’s approach to using the flesh of Third Tier Demon Beasts.
Lin Chen then said:
"Uncle Wang, I will soon teach Sister Xinyu the procedure for refining Ox and Tiger Pills. After that, I’m sure the Alchemy Departnt will be able to independently refine this pill."
The Great Xia has been in contact with the Cultivation Realm for less than a year.
Although departnts like the Pill Departnt, Artifact Departnt, and Array Departnt have been established, they still cannot independently complete the developnt and research of pill formulas.
Currently, Lin Chen still needs to teach hands-on... but in a year or two, I’m sure the Pill Departnt will be able to independently improve and even innovate pill formulas.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Wang Lishan said earnestly.
In the following days, Lin Chen, aside from cultivating, made several trips to the Alchemy Room.
It wasn’t until Wang Xinyu and a group of alchemy experts fully grasped the thod of refining Ox and Tiger Pills that Lin Chen felt relieved.
...
The day before crossing into the Cultivation Realm.
Lin Chen entered the rest area and took out an Ox and Tiger Pill.
"One Ox and Tiger Pill can increase strength by three to five thousand jin. Depending on the quality, the strength increase varies."
"This pill is already the best quality currently, reaching upper-grade quality..."
Lin Chen looked at the Ox and Tiger Pill in his hand, ready to consu it.
Just as he said, there are Ox and Tiger Pills in the Cultivation Realm, so there might be sothing like "Dragon Tiger Pill" or "Ox and Horse Pill" as well.
In the current chaotic situation of the Cultivation Realm, being able to enhance his strength is naturally ideal for Lin Chen.
"By taking this Ox and Tiger Pill... my strength will approach fifty-five thousand jin! I won’t be far from the Basic Level Martial General..."
With this thought, Lin Chen didn’t hesitate any longer.
He took a bite of the Ox and Tiger Pill.
The pill was chewy when it entered his mouth, and it seed to have a taste sowhat like cumin-roasted at...
Unlike any pill Lin Chen had previously eaten.
Lin Chen finished it quickly; the pound-heavy pill was consud within minutes.
"Burp~"
After eating, Lin Chen burped, feeling like his stomach was filled to the brim after a binge.
Then, he felt a surge rising from his stomach, spreading to his limbs and the whole body.
Lin Chen didn’t dare to be careless, imdiately sitting cross-legged to practice the Breathing Technique.
Wang Lishan could easily absorb the effects of the Ox and Tiger Pill because he himself was a Martial Venerable.
Absorbing this much Qi and Blood Value is naturally effortless.
But Lin Chen, with his poor physical condition, might suffer if this substantial increase in Qi and Blood Value wasn’t handled properly.
Thus, he continued practicing the Breathing Technique.
And felt like a fire ignited within him, as if an inexhaustible strength was there.
But to his surprise, the effects of the Ox and Tiger Pill were relatively mild; at least it wasn’t as painful as directly consuming demon beast at.
This process lasted roughly an entire afternoon.
"Drip, drip~"
Until a drop of red fell on Lin Chen’s knee.
"Crap, nosebleed... just how nourishing is this Ox and Tiger Pill?"
Lin Chen quickly used True Essence to block his nasal cavities.
Simultaneously, he was surprised to find that the effects of the Ox and Tiger Pill seed to have been absorbed completely.
Looking down at the Qi and Blood Value on his wrist.
—878 points!
One Ox and Tiger Pill increased his Qi and Blood Value by nearly three hundred points!
Feeling the abundant strength within him, Lin Chen couldn’t help but smile.
"Qi and Blood Value of eight hundred and seventy-eight points, not far from the Martial General’s standard of a thousand Qi and Blood Value!"
Originally, he expected to break through to Martial General within three months, which was already quite fast.
But now it seems, the ti might be shortened by half.
Martial General, equivalent to a late-period Foundation Establishnt body cultivator.
By then, Lin Chen would have more ans to protect himself in the Cultivation Realm.
"However, it’s a pity that Ox and Tiger Pills cannot be taken consecutively in a short period; the next dosage will have to wait a month..."
Lin Chen wanted to ride the montum of the Ox and Tiger Pill to break into the Martial General Realm.
But before stepping into the Martial General Realm, he decided to proceed with caution for now.
