"Isn't this a Demon Dao divine technique?"
Lin Jing stood outside the cave dwelling of his senior sister, Xu Qingyao, looking towards the ancestral land.
The Ten Thousand Flames Cauldron... can it directly refine life forms into pills to enhance one's cultivation?
The divine techniques nurtured by the Golden Core/Demon Pill are varied, related to the cultivator's cultivation technique and physique, including offensive, defensive, and supportive types...
Lin Jing originally thought that the dragon carp, by condensing a demon pill with strange fire, might develop an extreme offensive divine technique, but to his surprise, it turned out to be alchemy.
However, this also made sense, as the dragon carp spent every day either doing alchemy or doing alchemy...
As for what type of divine technique the Ten Thousand Flames Cauldron is, Lin Jing judged, based on feedback from the dragon carp, that it probably combines both attack and support!
In front of the Ten Thousand Flames Cauldron, enemies would be as weak and helpless as alchemy materials, trapped inside the cauldron and refined into pills alive.
Refined alive!
Only living beings can be refined into pills inside the cauldron; if it's a dead body, it cannot be made into a pill.
This is also why Lin Jing said this divine technique was a Demon Dao technique.
And to refine a living being, if the fire cauldron does not have immense power, it is very difficult to achieve.
After all, alchemy is a technical skill; even refining dead things requires the alchemist to have extremely strong control to avoid the explosion, and it's evidently more challenging to refine a living being that can resist.
"This divine technique, how should I put it..." Lin Jing pondered.
The current mainstream alchemy primarily involves refining dead things; even if it requires involving demon pills or organs, it's mostly about removing and refining them dead, very few alchemists directly refine living beings...
Compared to being an alchemist, it might be more appropriate for the dragon carp to be called a Pill Demon in the future.
However, the Ten Thousand Flames Cauldron, in Lin Jing's view, appeared at just the right time, since with his Longevity Body, he really needed a large number of pills to boost his cultivation.
"Demonic, so be it." Lin Jing shook his head.
In his previous life, he also often tossed live shrimp into hot pots and live crabs into steamers. As long as it can increase his cultivation, Lin Jing saw no issue in using the Ten Thousand Flames Cauldron to refine some demon beasts alive. The only question was about the conversion rate.
"Core Formation went smoothly, but what is the situation with these eighteen pillars of light in the Qilin Ancestral Land?"
"Did the gift of the dragon carp successfully gain the approval of the ancestors of the Qilin race?"
With doubts, Lin Jing temporarily left his senior sister's cave dwelling and flew towards the direction of the Qilin Ancestral Land. He had a premonition that Xu Qingyao and others should be attracted by this commotion as well.
Indeed.
As Lin Jing flew, a few rainbows streaked up from another direction, also heading towards the area outside the ancestral land alongside Lin Jing.
"Fire Dragon Alchemist." As the rainbows intersected, Xu Qingyao was among them, and she spoke, "What is the current situation with that Qilin?"
"Lady Saintess, it has successfully broken through to the Demon Core Stage, but now, due to the anomaly in the ancestral land, it doesn't know what to do next." Lin Jing halted, reporting to Xu Qingyao.
"Is he the Fire Dragon Alchemist? The Beast Master of the Qilin Beast breaking through inside the ancestral land?" The First and Second Saintesses were also present, looking at Lin Jing in disbelief, trying to discern something extraordinary about him.
The Third Saintess's... secret ace.
Even though he himself was only at the mid Foundation Establishment stage, the commotion caused by the breakthrough of that Qilin Beast made the two Saintesses not dare to underestimate.
After all, even the geniuses of the Qilin race had never caused the souls of all the ancestors to respond at the same time!
How terrifying was the talent and potential of the Qilin Beast there? They were not sure.
"There's nothing it needs to do!" One of the five elders of the Qilin tribes spoke: "It only needs to stay in place, the awakening ancestral souls will bless it."
"Or pass down magic."
"Or strengthen its bloodline."
"Or enhance its cultivation."
"This process takes some time; it just needs to receive this blessing!"
"Thank you for your guidance, seniors." Lin Jing slightly cupped his hands.
"No, we should be thanking you." Elder Lin Ye of the Fire Qilin tribe took a deep breath and looked towards the ancestral land.
A Qilin with such heaven-defying talent and potential, if it could acknowledge its ancestors in the future, then the Qilin race would have another great talent!
"You all..."
While everyone was guarding outside the ancestral land, a rift suddenly appeared in the void, and a black Qilin slowly emerged from it.
Upon seeing this Qilin, the elders of the five Qilin tribes immediately paid their respects.
"Chieftain."
"You all need not guard here, the ancestors of the Qilin race are using the power of the inheritance to strengthen the bloodline of that Qilin. It is not a congenital Qilin, its bloodline is lacking. After this bloodline enhancement, it should be able to come close to ancestral blood; this process requires a lot of time."
"Understood." The five elders were astonished, were all eighteen ancestral souls strengthening its bloodline?
Close to ancestral blood?
Does that mean that once it breaks through to Demon King or Demon Emperor, its bloodline strength might have the chance to reach 'ancestral level,' and in the future, steadily step into the Void Profound Demon Ancestor Realm?
"Not good." The First and Second Saintesses' expressions slightly changed.
"The three Saintess Highnesses should also go rest first, the weight of the ancestral land is not suitable for too many people to gather." The Qilin tribe's chieftain spoke.
"No problem." Only the Third Saintess, Xu Qingyao, was all smiles, realizing something.
Then, the chieftain of the Qilin tribe took a deep look at Lin Jing and once again retreated into the void.
"Let's go first, let it accept this creation by itself." Xu Qingyao held onto Lin Jing and prepared to leave, not wanting Lin Jing to interact too much with the other two Saintesses.
Meanwhile.
The Qilin tribe's chieftain spoke towards a direction in the void: "Old Ancestor, are you sure the Qilin breaking through in the ancestral land really has the bloodline of a Treasure Beast?"
"Yes. I have lived so long; not to mention Treasure Beasts, I have even interacted with actual Immortal Beasts." An ancient voice came from deep within the void.
"The Third Saintess, Xu Qingyao, has brought us a great gift."
"The birth of a Treasure Beast comes from the falling star transformed by the death of an Immortal, and the Treasure Beast divine technique birthed deep within its bloodline is the inheritance of Immortal Techniques, the budding form of Immortal Arts."
"When the Treasure Beast divine technique is developed to a certain level, it will transform into 'Immortal Arts', and 'Immortal Arts' can also transform the demon blood of a demon beast into 'Immortal Blood.' In other words, Treasure Beasts inherently possess a Half-Immortal Body, and in comparison with the physique of human cultivators, only those termed as having an Immortal Body have the opportunity to suppress the Treasure Beast bloodline."
"A qilin cub with 'immortal potential' is crucial for the inheritance and development of our Qilin race; after it completely evolves into an Immortal Beast, it will be the strongest combat power in this Celestial Essence Realm where ascension is impossible."
"The Third Saintess, Xu Qingyao, she had long known that this Qilin Beast possessed the bloodline of a Treasure Beast and deliberately brought it to the Qilin Ancestral Land for a breakthrough to allow us to discover it, so as to make the neutral Qilin race align with her. Through this Treasure Beast Qilin as a link, she is determined to bind us to her chariot. We should also start considering our stance."
