Free Web NovelChapter 1348: Chapter 506: Third-Grade Human Pill
The pupils of the wedding doll, with each turn, mark the beginning of enchantment.
But this time, as soon as the doll’s eye turned once, it looked a bit like it was dozing off, its eyelids weakly drooping down.
Danzi’s right palm hung over the neck of the wedding doll, and a tumor-like thing began to swell.
"Take the Bone Teeth and prick here," Danzi said to Zhou Xuan.
Immediately, Zhou Xuan directed the Bone Teeth to gently pierce the swollen area.
As the skin was pierced, a thing like pus flowed out and dripped onto the ground.
Drop by drop of pus formed one puddle after another, initially thick like hot tar, but quickly turned into a pool of blood, and then rapidly evaporated, becoming a red mist that dispersed everywhere and disappeared entirely within moments.
Yet at this moment, there were no traces of the thick blood on the ground, as if that bloody thing never fell to the ground.
"It’s gone."
Alchemist Bai Lu looked at Danzi.
Danzi shook his head and said, "It’s not gone, you just can’t see it, just like you can’t see the vast fragrance souls and fire insects between Heaven and Earth."
He lowered his head, muttering some incomprehensible spells.
With the chanting of the spells, countless insects flowed within the stone temple.
Zhou Xuan reached out and grabbed, having dozens of still wriggling insects in his hand.
These insects looked exactly like the Incense Soul Worms and Fire Soul Worms Zhou Xuan had seen before.
"Don’t you see, incense is human desire itself."
Danzi removed his hand from the wedding doll, which then, from a sleepy lethargy, fell directly into slumber. freewebnoveℓ.com
"I am also a Human Pill, only much stronger in aura. It sensed my presence and felt safe, thus calming down."
Zhou Xuan nodded and asked, "Danzi, since incense is human desire, and as you said, the wedding doll can cause the Hall Disciples in the human world to go mad, why can’t it affect me?"
"That I don’t know, but one thing is certain, your body holds a secret."
Danzi sighed and said, "Your body should also harbor secrets... Ordinary people don’t have such a grand Secret Realm as yours."
"Then how do I unlock this secret?" Zhou Xuan asked.
Danzi shook his head again and said, "Many things in the human world of Jing Country depend on opportunities. Without the right timing, even if pointed out, one can’t see."
Zhou Xuan gazed at Danzi for a long time, then decided not to dwell on the matter further, and instead asked, "I want to refine this wedding doll into an elixir. Alchemist Bai Lu said it can produce two kinds of elixirs, is that true?"
"Yes, it’s true."
Back in the realm of his expertise, Danzi’s spirits lifted.
Placing his hand on the neck of the wedding doll, he said, "The wedding doll is a rapid condensation of massive human desires and emotions,
its neck contains a ’Desire Pill’. In the whole of Jing Country, across hundreds of large and small Fire Pits, there aren’t many of these Pills,
so, once refined, this Desire Pill is at least a Third-grade elixir."
The Jing Country Sky Dome divides elixirs into grades, from high to low, a total of Twelve Grades.
A Third-grade elixir is already top-grade.
According to the Alchemy Task List assigned to Zhou Xuan by the Heavenly Dome, just this one Third-grade elixir could perfectly fulfill the task.
However, Danzi saying it is at least Third-grade suggests that if the Desire Pill of the wedding doll is refined into a Human Pill, there’s a good chance it will surpass the Third-grade elixir...
"Then how is the Desire Pill refined?"
Zhou Xuan asked.
"Don’t you have the Star Sky Scroll?" Danzi said, "This Star Sky Scroll is the Mother Palace left by the Dan Mother before her ascension. Just place the Star Sky Scroll in the Fire Tower, and it will naturally start refining, without much use of Heart Spirit."
"Besides the ’Desire Pill’ from this Joy Demon, all its other flesh and blood can be refined into elixirs, but those would just be the lowly ’Joyful Longevity Pills.’"
In the grading of the Heavenly Dome, the Joyful Longevity Pill is only an eleventh-grade elixir, which is indeed a low-status elixir for the well-informed Danzi.
Alchemist Bai Lu, who also had a decent understanding of elixirs, was somewhat concerned about the quantity and quality of the Joyful Longevity Pills and promptly asked Danzi a critical question,
"Danzi, if the wedding doll is refined, can it ’upgrade’ in grade? If it cannot ’upgrade’, how many pills can we get?"
"Upgrading in grade is certain; this wedding doll is no common thing. If using it as a material can’t produce better than an eleventh-grade Joyful Longevity Pill, what’s the difference with the run-down Fire Pits of the Zoroastrian Fire Sect?"
Danzi’s words were full of arrogance — this arrogance was all brought by the wedding doll. freēwebnovel.com
Zhou Xuan, however, was baffled and said, "Isn’t the Joyful Longevity Pill just eleventh-grade? How can it be upgraded?"
Alchemist Bai Lu straightened his back and explained to Zhou Xuan, "Mr., the grades of elixirs in the sky aren’t fixed; there can be fluctuations depending on the potency of their effects,
for example, this Joyful Longevity Pill, if refined by a second-rate alchemist like Ning Bukong, it would only reach the eleventh grade, but if refined by a high-standard alchemist, it could elevate by two or three grades."
That was when Zhou Xuan came to understand that the grade of elixirs is also related to the alchemist’s level.
Danzi then added, "As for the quantity produced this time, it will exceed the numbers produced from previous furnace loads, but exactly how much more depends on your own fortunes during alchemy."
