In no time at all, Lin Xiao entered a small independent courtyard.
This courtyard had ancient trees and green grass, an artificial mountain and water pond, a small pavilion, and a small house of five or six zhang, small yet exquisite.
Once the innkeeper had left, Lin Xiao went straight into the room, released his divine sense to probe the surroundings, and this room could indeed block divine sense.
This kind of material was extremely expensive and hard to find, no wonder the seclusion inn had only built such a small room.
Having confirmed it could not be probed, he closed the door, stood in the room, took out the Yin Lie Snow Weasel spirit core and several mild medicinal herbs, moved his spiritual power, and spiritual energy surged out, beginning to burn.
To refine the Yin Lie Pill, one needed an accurate pill formula and sufficiently proficient alchemy skills, otherwise, the chance of the pill exploding was very high.
Even possessing the memories of the Swallowing Heaven Spirit Emperor, Lin Xiao still refined it sweating profusely, continuously adding auxiliary medicines one after another, cautiously and carefully refining for half a day before finally putting in all the medicinal materials.
He then spent another hour forming the pill.
For ordinary alchemy, the refining time might be extremely long, but the pill forming time would be relatively quick. The Yin Lie Pill was extremely special, pill forming required extremely gentle spiritual power, otherwise, it was very easy to explode.
This was also the reason why the Yin Lie Snow Weasel spirit core was difficult to refine into a pill.
“Chi!”
In the end, Lin Xiao successfully formed the pill, a fierce yin-cold aura emanated out, and a white pill floated before Lin Xiao’s eyes.
Gazing at this pill, joy involuntarily appeared on Lin Xiao’s face. The seventh-grade elementary pill, Yin Lie Pill, had finally been successfully condensed.
“I wonder if this pill can help the Purple Corpse Puppet break through two levels of cultivation?” Lin Xiao pondered secretly in his heart.
This pill was a yin-cold attribute pill, but it was also extremely fierce. If a person with yin-cold attribute talent refined the pill, they were very likely to burst their body and die.
It was also possible to directly break through several levels of cultivation.
The Purple Corpse Puppet, however, avoided the first situation.
First storing away the Yin Lie Pill, Lin Xiao wiped the sweat from his face, walked to the bed, sat cross-legged, and began regulating his breathing.
Refining the Yin Lie Pill had consumed a great amount of spiritual power, which needed to be restored once.
After two hours, at midnight, Lin Xiao opened his eyes, took out the Purple Corpse Puppet, and tossed it in front of him.
Then, he fed the Yin Lie Pill into the Purple Corpse Puppet’s mouth and ordered it to refine it.
On the Purple Corpse Puppet’s stiff purple face, there seemed to be a faint expression of excitement, and it quickly began refining.
In just a short while, the medicinal effect of the Yin Lie Pill was activated and began to erupt, rolling yin energy bursting out from the Purple Corpse Puppet’s body.
Lin Xiao instantly urged out his spiritual power, enveloping the yin energy and the Purple Corpse Puppet within it.
This Yin Lie Pill was extremely fierce. If the Purple Corpse Puppet were allowed to release yin energy freely, not only would the entire room be destroyed, but even half the area of the whole Lingxi City might be shrouded in yin energy.
That commotion would probably attract all the experts in the entire city pool, inevitably bringing huge trouble.
Therefore, Lin Xiao had only regulated his breathing for an hour before daring to give the Yin Lie Pill to the Purple Corpse Puppet to refine.
The Yin Lie Pill was too fierce. The yin energy erupting from the Purple Corpse Puppet grew increasingly intense, and the Purple Corpse Puppet enveloped by spiritual power was soon submerged in its own yin energy.
In Lin Xiao’s line of sight, only a large mass of yin energy remained before him, and within the yin energy, the Purple Corpse Puppet’s body could no longer be seen.
“Chi!” After not long, Lin Xiao felt a powerful aura beginning to impact his spiritual power envelope.
Evidently, it was the Purple Corpse Puppet breaking through.
The Purple Corpse Puppet’s cultivation was equivalent to the first level of Martial Emperor realm. Now with one breakthrough, it had reached the equivalent of the second level of Martial Emperor cultivation.
The Yin Lie Pill truly lived up to being a fierce yin-cold attribute pill. In such a short time, it had made the Purple Corpse Puppet break through.
Moreover, it did not stop there.
In an instant, Lin Xiao felt another wave of even more vigorous aura beginning to impact his spiritual power envelope.
The Purple Corpse Puppet had broken through another level of cultivation, reaching the equivalent of the third level of Martial Emperor.
Lin Xiao was overjoyed in his heart. The effect of this Yin Lie Pill on the Purple Corpse Puppet was indeed a great treasure pill, allowing it to break through two levels of cultivation all at once.
With the Purple Corpse Puppet’s combat power, at the first level of Martial Emperor, it could fight against a third level Martial Emperor. If in close combat, with its powerful physical body, resisting a fourth level Martial Emperor was no problem at all.
And once it broke through to the third level of Martial Emperor realm, it was sufficient to fight against fifth or sixth level Martial Emperor experts.
Of course, no matter how powerful the Purple Corpse Puppet’s aura was, it could not break free from Lin Xiao’s spiritual power envelope.
After all, it was merely aura. For example, the aura of a sixth or seventh level Martial Emperor could not directly harm a first level Martial Monarch, whereas sixth-grade intermediate spiritual power could directly kill a first level Martial Monarch.
Aura and power naturally could not be compared.
“I wonder if it can break through again?” Lin Xiao secretly hoped in his heart.
However, after all, it was only a seventh-grade elementary pill. No matter how fierce, the medicinal power was ultimately limited.
In the end, the aura on the Purple Corpse Puppet gradually calmed down, and the rolling yin energy enveloped by spiritual power was also absorbed into its body by the Purple Corpse Puppet.
The Purple Corpse Puppet’s body appeared in Lin Xiao’s sight, and only then did he withdraw his spiritual power.
At this point, he could see that the purple skin of the Purple Corpse Puppet’s body had become even deeper.
Its face and eyes had become more vibrant, faintly showing signs of coming to life.
And what surprised Lin Xiao was that this Purple Corpse Puppet actually extended its stiff hands and began cupping its fists in salute towards him.
Joy immediately appeared on Lin Xiao’s face. The Purple Corpse Puppet’s intelligence had clearly increased, reaching the point where it could cup its fists towards him.
In this way, besides its own strength growing, would its combat flexibility also greatly increase?
In the future, would it also grow intelligence like an ordinary person, able to fight freely, or even cultivate various martial skills?
If so, with the Purple Corpse Puppet possessing an incomparably powerful physical body, then he would be equivalent to owning an extremely powerful slave!
Nodding to the Purple Corpse Puppet, Lin Xiao ordered it to restrain its aura and stand in place.
“The Purple Corpse Puppet has broken through. Even a seventh-grade intermediate spirit controller would probably be resisted for a while. Even if the Spirit Phoenix Valley sends a seventh-grade intermediate spirit controller to chase and kill, if it is just one person, who lives and who dies is uncertain.” A sharp light flashed in Lin Xiao’s eyes.
Immediately after, he took out a pile of blue spirit stones, held his hands in opposition, and began refining them.
The Purple Corpse Puppet was ordered to guard him. With the Purple Corpse Puppet’s protection, plus the reputation of the seclusion inn, he could安心 refine the blue spirit stones and prepare to break through his realm.
“The Purple Corpse Puppet has broken through. Next, it is my turn.” With deep confidence on his face, Lin Xiao concentrated his energy and accelerated the absorption and refining.
