In the original plot, it took Yao Lao two and a half days to refine the blood lotus pill. He even mentioned that an ordinary Alchemist without a Heavenly Flame would take about ten days. On the way, it even attracted the greed of several second and Third-Grade Alchemists, leading to a bloody incident in the sky.
However, the reality was that this fifth-grade pill didn't take two and a half days at all. All things considered, Chen Yang only took two and a half double-hours—that is, five hours—to refine it.
While Chen Yang was refining the pill, Xiao Yi Xian lay quietly on the table watching. She was not only learning but also admiring her lover's focused expression.
Two and a half double-hours passed quickly. As Chen Yang raised his hand and lightly patted the Medicine Cauldron, a blood-colored pill emitting a medicinal fragrance flew out and was easily caught by Chen Yang in a jade bottle.
"Husband, did you finish refining it so quickly?"
"That Old Mister Yao said that refining a fifth-grade pill might take more than a day!"
Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward, handed a cup of tea to Chen Yang, and asked softly.
"What the hell does Yao Chen know about Alchemy? If he were to refine it, it probably would take him two and a half days." Chen Yang shrugged. While he seemed to be complaining about Yao Lao, he was actually complaining about Tudou.
There were too many contradictions in the original battle through the heavens novel. Before entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the blood lotus pill required a fourth-tier ice-attribute monster core, but by the time they reached Blackrock City, it became third-tier, and the attribute restrictions were gone.
Yao Lao took two and a half days to refine a blood lotus pill on the back of a flying magical beast, yet in Mo City, it only took him one day to refine a sixth-grade calamity breaking pill, even failing once in between. It was said that the black demon cauldron could save half the time, but a sixth-grade pill should take at least twice as long as a fifth-grade one, right?
Of course, the reason it only took five hours was simply that Chen Yang's skill was superior.
To put it bluntly, in the fifty thousand years before and after the current era on the Fighting Qi Continent, including the future Flame Emperor, no one understood refining pills below the fifth grade better than Chen Yang.
Adding in his seventh-tier Colored Fire and his Eight-Star Dou Huang strength, this pill refining was naturally much easier.
"Heehee, I knew Husband was the most amazing!" Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chen Yang and praised.
"Husband has even more amazing things, do you want to try?" Chen Yang glanced at Xiao Yi Xian, then looked at the sky which had completely darkened outside, and raised an eyebrow.
"Husband... you haven't eaten yet, why don't we eat first... ah..." Before Xiao Yi Xian could finish her sentence, she was scooped up by Chen Yang and carried into the inner room.
"You are a Great Dou Master and I am a Dou Huang; missing a meal or two isn't a big deal. Besides... compared to eating food, I'd rather eat you..." Chen Yang wore a lewd smile. Since she was his own wife, he could be as perverted as he wanted. Besides, they had just had a big meal five hours ago; they needed some exercise to digest... While Chen Yang was living it up after refining the pill, Xiao Yan was having a miserable time.
At the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Yan originally thought he would have some money left over after buying the other medicinal herbs besides the ice spirit cold spring. As it turned out, not only was the card Chen Yang gave him empty, but he had also spent over a hundred thousand of his own gold coins.
And that ice spirit cold spring caused Xiao Yan to bleed even more money.
However, it must be said that the protagonist is indeed the protagonist. When Xiao Yan was leaving the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he accidentally discovered a crimson sun fruit. Although this crimson sun fruit wasn't as rare as the accompanying purple crystal source, its growing conditions were extremely harsh. Even if it grew, it would be immediately eaten by magical beasts. Furthermore, it provided massive benefits to those who Cultivate fire-attribute Dou Qi.
This thing originally grew in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's territory. The Amethyst Winged Lion King hadn't noticed it, and other magical beasts assumed it belonged to the Lion King.
The crimson sun fruit only emits a fragrance when it is ripe. As it happened, Chen Yang had taken the Amethyst Winged Lion King away, so naturally, Xiao Yan got the bargain.
Xiao Yan originally wanted to give two of these fruits to Chen Yang, but Yao Lao said the fruit didn't have much effect on a Dou Huang expert. It would be better to keep them until he collected the right medicinal herbs to refine a seventh-grade Crimson Sun Pill to give to Chen Yang. After thinking it over, Xiao Yan put them away, planning to give Chen Yang a surprise later.
At Gu Te's place, Xiao Yan successfully used one crimson sun fruit to exchange for a bottle of ice spirit cold spring, intending to find Chen Yang the next day.
The next morning, Xiao Yan rushed to Chen Yang's residence, only to find that both Chen Yang and Xiao Yi Xian had gone out... After riding three times in one night, where Xiao Yi Xian was passive at first but took the lead as the rider for the last two times, Chen Yang was absolutely ecstatic.
Thanks to the fact that neither of them was weak and Xiao Yi Xian had taken pills to enhance her Physique, her Physical Body strength was now roughly equivalent to a second-tier magical beast, so her recovery speed was very fast.
After the two of them woke up and had breakfast, they left the city and headed straight for the Amethyst Winged Lion King's location.
"Master!"
"Mistress!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King had just seen Chen Yang three days ago, so it wasn't very worried. The environment where they lived was quite nice, with pleasant weather.
Chen Yang nodded and didn't waste words. After injecting Soul Power, he pressed a jade slip onto the Amethyst Winged Lion King's forehead.
With a flash of light, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes glazed over for a moment, and then it looked at Chen Yang with joy.
"Familiarize yourself with it first. I'll teach your son too!"
As Chen Yang spoke, he flew in front of the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King and followed the same procedure, allowing the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King to learn the operation as well.
After about an hour, both the large and small Amethyst Winged Lion Kings had learned the Secret Method. One shrank to the size of an adult medium-sized dog, and the other to the size of a puppy.
Because their sizes had been reduced, the distinctive features of the Amethyst Winged Lion King on their bodies had also faded significantly. Aside from the sharp horn on their heads, even their wings could be retracted. They didn't look much different from ordinary lion-dogs.
"Not bad, this is much more convenient!"
"By the way, how is the energy consumption of this Secret Method for you?"
Chen Yang reached out and rubbed the Amethyst Winged Lion King's head, speaking with satisfaction.
"Reporting to Master, the energy consumption is almost negligible!"
"Just breathing in the energy of the world is enough to compensate for the Secret Method's consumption!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King replied.
"That's good. I was afraid that using the Secret Method would cause huge consumption; that would be more loss than gain."
Chen Yang nodded and then brought the two Amethyst Winged Lion Kings and Xiao Yi Xian back to Blackrock City.
Upon returning to the inn, Chen Yang saw Xiao Yan outside the small courtyard, carrying the Heavy Black Ruler on his back.
"Brother Yang, you're back!"
Watching Chen Yang and Xiao Yi Xian land, Xiao Yan hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting. When he saw the two little lions Chen Yang was carrying, his pupils shrank.
Either of these two little lions could probably kill him with ease, right?
"Are all the medicinal herbs collected?" Chen Yang asked.
"Yes, they are all collected, including a small bottle of that ice spirit cold spring!" Xiao Yan nodded and presented a storage ring.
"That's good. Leave the pill refining to me. You stay in Blackrock City for a while longer to begin the first stage of your training."
"The Green Lotus Core Flame in the Tagor Desert won't go anywhere, so rest assured!"
Chen Yang said softly.
"Brother Yang, you also know about the Green Lotus Core Flame in the Tagor Desert?"
Xiao Yan was shocked to hear this.
"Don't worry, I won't compete with you for it. I have no interest in that garbage ranked nineteenth, but for you right now, it's barely enough!"
"In these six months, you must steadily improve your Physical Body strength to a level comparable to a Fifth-Tier Magical Beast. When the time comes to swallow the Green Lotus Core Flame, combined with some pills, becoming a Dou Ling won't be a problem!"
"There is still one year left until the Three-Year Agreement. Don't you want to spread your Dou Qi Wings and fly up to the Cloud Mist Sect during the Three-Year Agreement to scare Nalan Yanran to death?"
Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yan and said with a smile.
"One year? From a Three-Star Great Dou Shi to a Dou Wang?"
"This..."
