"You said you wanted to eat the Crown Pill." Li Lin asked, having a connection with the little dragon, seemingly knowing what the little dragon was thinking.
"Sss." The little dragon nodded slightly, twisting its tail, already somewhat unable to restrain itself, its gaze firmly fixed on that Crown Pill.
"You seem hungry too. If you can eat it, go ahead." To Li Lin, the little dragon was like family, and he did not mind giving away a Crown Pill.
"Sss!" The little dragon indicated, immediately opening its mouth to swallow the Crown Pill. Its head was originally about the size of the pill, but it easily swallowed the pill and then burrowed back into Li Lin's sleeve, out of sight.
Li Lin was puzzled for a moment, then smiled. As a Spirit Emperor beast, the little dragon might gain some benefits from consuming the Crown Pill. Now, one less Crown Pill did not matter much to him.
"There are ten more Yuan Boost Pills." After placing the one hundred and seven Crown Pills into several prepared jade bottles—originally there were one hundred and eight, but with the little dragon consuming one, leaving one hundred and seven—he then continued to concoct Yuan Boost Pills.
After being ambushed in the back mountain last time, Li Lin was determined to enhance his strength as quickly as possible for his security. He nearly died last time.
Only with stronger power could he ensure his safety. To enhance his strength, he had to continuously consume pills.
Li Lin continued the pill concoction process. After regulating his breath, he formed hand seals and infused spiritual power into the Fire Dragon Cauldron, causing flames to spread out.
Under Li Lin's control, the materials for concocting the Yuan Boost Pills were added one by one. Since the Yuan Boost Pill was a second-grade pill, Li Lin dared not be careless and devoted his full attention to the concoction.
Time passed slowly, and during these days of pill concoction, Li Lin was completely unaware of the outside world, focusing solely on his work.
At the Li family, a significant event had occurred. Rolan was finally recognized by the Li family and became the second lady, equal in status to the first lady. This development puzzled many servants, as the first lady did not object, which was out of character for her.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Some servants speculated that with Lin'er being a tri-elemental warrior, a top talent among warriors, even if the first lady objected, it would be futile.
Regardless, Rolan became the envy of all the servants, having endured many hardships and humiliations over the years, she finally made it, unlike them, who could never see such a turnaround in their lifetimes.
Instead of envying Rolan, many servants were more realistic and envied Li Xiaobai, who became a warrior unexpectedly and was close to young master Lin'er, promising a bright future.
"Boom!" Three days later, the Fire Dragon Cauldron opened, and a rich fragrance filled the air as a pill shot out of the cauldron, the Yuan Boost Pill that Li Lin had concocted.
The pill, surrounded by a faint glow and enticing fragrance, was wrapped in a yellow light by Li Lin's hand seal and collected into his hand. The faint glow then disappeared.
"Finally done." Li Lin looked pale, his spiritual energy nearly depleted after three days of concocting ten Yuan Boost Pills.
Looking at the ten Yuan Boost Pills in his hand, Li Lin smiled, wondering how much they would help enhance his strength, which he urgently needed.
"Let's consume a pill before leaving seclusion." Li Lin said softly, tossing a Yuan Boost Pill into his mouth. The pill turned into a surge of astonishing energy once inside his stomach.
Li Lin could feel the enormous energy coursing through his body, quickly starting to refine it with the Yin-Yang Spirit Martial Technique.
The energy was transformed into pure Qi under Li Lin's refinement, and his mental energy also increased, although not as significantly as his Qi. The Yuan Boost Pill was more about enhancing spiritual power relative to Qi.
After a while, Li Lin was enveloped in a pale yellow glow, surrounded by a luminous aura, appearing very mystical.
The energy from the Yuan Boost Pill was not small, and Li Lin refined it slowly and methodically, not rushing the process.
During this refinement, he had to be careful. Uncle Jiang once said that if the energy was too great, the body's meridians could not withstand it, leading to potential destruction and mental disturbances, posing a danger.
Li Lin always remembered to be cautious about such dangers.
The energy from the Yuan Boost Pill, under Li Lin's refinement, circulated through his meridians in a complete cycle before continuously entering his dantian Qi sea.
As time passed, the Qi in Li Lin's dantian Qi sea increased. He felt as if his dantian Qi sea was a separate cyclone ocean, with fuller Qi rotating faster, enhancing his aura.
On the third day's morning, as the last bit of energy turned into Qi and entered Li Lin's dantian Qi sea, the energy membrane inside his body vibrated and then surrounded him in rotation.
At the dantian Qi sea, Li Lin felt a surge of energy, creating huge waves and roaring fiercely.
Simultaneously, in the secret room, Li Lin, with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and a nearly blinding sharp light shot out from his eyes, which receded after a moment. His eyes appeared deeper, and his entire demeanor seemed changed.
"I've reached the fourth rank as a warrior." Li Lin felt the robust Qi inside his body, now several times stronger than when he was a third-rank warrior, realizing why he was no match for Zhou Haiming, a seventh-rank warrior. The gap was too significant.
