The time soon arrived for the academy to organize students to head to the Profound Domain.

A gigantic Spiritual Power Flying Boat set sail from the academy.

After the flying boat departed, the Dragon Palace members came to visit Lin Jing with their dragon pets.

Yuan Jing's Great Sword Mantis, Zi Ling'Er's Pill Rabbit, Gao Sheng's Dragon Horse, Wang Xiao's War Tiger, Xu Zhizhi's Bald Tanuki, Zhou Lang's bootleg Four Sacred Beasts, and the Ice and Fire Island descendant's Flood Dragon...

Among them, Wang Xiao's War Tiger, Gao Sheng's Dragon Horse, and the descendant's Flood Dragon all had royal bloodlines.

The first two were due to their wealthy backgrounds, where the bloodlines of their demon pets were inherently strong.

As for the latter, it was purely due to broken heritage always seeking a new path, trading two cultivation techniques and various high-level plants here with Lin Jing for numerous Dragon Ascending Pills, choosing to supplement cultivation in the Beast Taming to enrich their strength.

Of course, the others weren't lacking either. Except Zhou Lang from the Divine Array Sect, whose resources were scattered due to nurturing too many pet beasts, resulting in lower bloodline qualities, the bloodlines of the other pet beasts reached the "quasi-royal blood" stage.

However, this bottleneck requires resources that might exceed all previous investments.

Now, upon arrival, everyone was curious about the pill Lin Jing mentioned that excavates pet beast bloodline potential.

"The Dragon Ascending Pill enhances the bloodline quality of dragon-blooded demon beasts."

"However, enhancing the bloodline quality of demon beasts does not mean they can perfectly utilize 100% of their bloodline power."

"This pill, created alongside the Dragon Ascending Pill, assists high-bloodline-quality pets in excavating bloodline power, greatly increasing strength. However, due to significant burden, it has not been given to you all."

Lin Jing produced a black pill bottle.

Then, he opened the bottle. While others felt nothing, only Zi Ling'Er and her Pill Rabbit's pupils shrank instantly, smelling a terrifying scent.

"It's a Demon Pill!!" Zi Ling'Er exclaimed in shock.

"Demon Pill?" The descendant of Ice and Fire Island looked at it and said, "What is a Demon Pill, and why have I never heard of it?"

Zi Ling'Er explained, "A Demon Pill... once ingested, there's a high chance of causing death, severe illness, or addiction; even low-grade Demon Pills can impose huge burdens on advanced cultivators. Generally, only demon cultivators wandering life-and-death realms use such extreme pills."

Everyone looked at Lin Jing.

What is Lin Jing's intention!

Lin Jing said, "Actually, it's not as frightening. Whether the raw materials of this pill or the concoction process, my own pet beast has been consuming it regularly, and now it is immune, with hardly any effects."

Saying this, Lin Jing tossed aside the bottle of "Black Death Chili", the core ingredient for the pill mixed with various brutal beast blood, next moment, a Dragon Carp leaped out, swallowing several black pills entirely.

Under the disbelieving gaze of Zi Ling'Er and the Dragon Blood Pill Rabbit, the Dragon Carp shuddered, then burped without harm.

"What kind of joke is this? With the toxicity of that pill, even a Foundation Establishment demon beast would die from pain, right?" Zi Ling'Er spoke incredulously seeing the Dragon Carp unharmed.

What? A Foundation Establishment demon beast would die from consuming it?

The dragon-blooded pet beasts brought by the Dragon Palace backed off a step.

However, seeing the Dragon Carp unharmed, they became doubtful.

"This pill, named 'Pain Relief Pill', upon consumption, results in soul-deep pain. Yet enduring this pain would allow bloodline potential to be fully excavated and activated. It's theoretically used alongside the Dragon Ascending Pill," Lin Jing explained.

"Zi Ling'Er's words are not false, just that this Dragon Carp cannot be viewed with common sense," Wang Xiao used his Divine Body to feel the ominous aura released by the Demon Pill, took a deep breath, and observing the Dragon Carp's insatiable look, finally understood why Lin Jing's Dragon Carp possessed extraordinary strength even at the Qi Cultivation Stage.

This guy has been consuming Demon Pills to excavate bloodline potential!!!

"Suddenly feel unwell, boss, let's not participate in the Tianjiao battle." Gao Sheng's Dragon Horse continued to back away, others unaware, but it knew Lin Jing was a true Demon Cultivator, so there was no fakery with the Demon Pill.

Just for a Tianjiao battle, no need to risk lives, the Dragon Horse retreated.

"Eat it, if you're afraid of even Demon Pills, how will you eliminate demons?" Gao Sheng kicked it back, thinking it's not him consuming it anyway.

Meanwhile, under the panic-struck depiction of the Pill Rabbit, the other dragon-blooded pet beasts also felt fear.

"Do not worry," Lin Jing reassured, "I naturally won't let you die."

"Enduring the difficult beginnings makes for a superior beast."

"If you truly cannot handle the pain, I will immediately provide 'Ice Relief' to assist you. Relax." Lin Jing stretched out his palm, from which an intense cold emanated, causing everyone present to shiver involuntarily.

Wang Xiao, possessing ice summoning abilities through his Divine Body, felt this cold power and immediately realized, this familiar sensation... Lin Jing... definitely has a special ice attribute physique not inferior to the Ice Divine Body.

"Ice Cold Relief? Indeed, this can effectively alleviate pill-induced pain at critical moments..." Zi Ling'Er recognized, nodding, while beside her, the Dragon Blood Pill Rabbit stared at its Beast Master in disbelief, aren't you genuinely eating? As an Alchemist, you know how terrifying this stuff is, right?

It looked at Lin Jing in horror, tested drugs for years, yet never consumed a Demon Pill.

"What are your thoughts? This pill is provided for free as thanks for your cooperation," Lin Jing said, mainly fearing that these dragon-blooded demon beasts wouldn't be strong enough to dominate at the Tianjiao battle.

"For free..." Hearing this, everyone looked at their pet beasts. Since it posed no threat to life, missing this opportunity to improve strength seemed unreasonable.

"Seems like you've all agreed." Lin Jing smiled, looking at Zhou Lang from the Divine Array Sect, "Brother Zhou, could you arrange a 'Sound Insulation Array' outside my room, is that alright?"

"Sound Insulation Array, no problem." Zhou Lang nodded, among them, his few pet beasts had the lowest bloodline quality, best not to miss Lin Jing's gifted treasure pills...

"Also, these Pain Relief Pills are consumable by humans too, albeit less effective than on demon beasts. If you want to try, I have plenty here." Lin Jing offered several more bottles.

"My suggestion is for you all to consume them together, experiencing the same pain may strengthen bonds between you and your pet beasts." Lin Jing laughed casually.

The pet beasts… looked at their masters.

Faces of Dragon Palace geniuses turned dark.

Meanwhile, other academy students still unaware that, to partake in the Tianjiao battle and achieve better results, Lin Jing offered bottle after bottle of Demon Pills to enhance Dragon Palace's strength, collectively demonizing!

......

A month later.

Profound Domain, Tianji City.

After the Dragon Palace members endured a month of soul-burning hellish pain, the academy troupe finally arrived at Tianji City.

Following Lin Jing's firm suggestion, this group ultimately experienced the Pain Relief Pill together with their pet beasts.

Now the Dragon Palace entourage felt, even if heavily injured during combat, they wouldn't sense it.

Their souls were numbed.

"You really have a dark sense of humor."

"You yourself haven't consumed many, yet fed them so many." Upon reaching Tianji City, Divine Pine eventually couldn't resist commenting.

Lin Jing internally laughed heartily, "I may not have consumed many personally, but the Dragon Carp ate plenty, after all, post-contract we are inseparable. Beast Taming Sect has pain transfer secret techniques, during combat the pain can be shifted to it."

"Besides, drawing blood daily hurts too..."

"However, this smooth journey is an unexpected pleasure," Divine Pine noted, "Must be Celestial Secret Tower shielding your destiny..."

Next, upon disembarking the flying boat alongside academy students, the academy instructors and other academy talents were shocked.

"Look at their complexion..."

"Even Wang Xiao with Divine Body..."

"Only Lin Jing seems unaffected."

There stood the Dragon Palace group, black circles under eyes, sunken eyes, pale as corpses, seemingly having not rested for a month, appeared in terrible condition, rather than a pack of young talents, akin to disciples from Yin Corpse Sect.

"Though their condition is poor, their True Essence strength, compared to a month ago upon boarding the flying boat, has improved significantly." Mr. Cao used vision technique, witnessing countless ghostly fires hovering behind the Dragon Palace entourage. Though this demonic aura was slowly dissipating, Mr. Cao was stunned.
