The moment the Corpse Refining Tiger started to channel all its energy into its womb to strengthen its baby cub, a howl of pain could be heard from the stage. The birth giving process is nowhere easy, but towards a Corpse Refining Tiger that managed to obtain enough Death Essence from all those corpses before it came into this situation, this is nothing but an easy piece of a cake.
Meanwhile for the Essence Fabricator Ant, to fully utilize all its might to refine each single egg it could lay, an enormous amount of energy is required, so the moment it started, all the surrounding essence energy is absorbed into its body like a black hole, without knowing its limitations. Only after an hour of heavy labour, the two beasts managed to complete what they were doing at the moment.
The Corpse Refining Tiger managed to give birth to a pair of Corpse Refining Cubs, a male and a female, while the Essence Fabricator Ant managed to lay a total of 44 fertilized Eggs that will hatch soon after given a short time to mature. But since Long Feng is not in a hurry to start refining his Pill, he allows the two parent figure to give their final attention towards their child until he needs them.
Long Feng checked his Spatial Inventory, as he runs through all the ingredients within his ring. "This is not good enough to refine a Pill with the quality of strength I hope, I wonder what else do I have within this Spatial Inventory." Long Feng continue to search and check his inventory until he finally noticed something. "This is the Marble Stone Essence Fruit, the one that I bought from the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion previously. Its quality is quite good, but only with a single Fruit, I can't dream about refining a superb category rank Pill." Long Feng felt dejected as he feels a little unhappy with the number of specialized Ingredients within his Spatial Ring, but that moment, he stumbles across something.
"Why is this box that used to keep the Spatial Link Twin Grass Ring have such a strong medicinal power within? Did I misplace something inside?" Long Feng withdraw the box to take a look at its contents. The moment he opened the box, a brilliant shine of light with strong medicinal rich fragrance is released towards the whole Arena, allowing everyone within the Arena to feeling drunk within a medicinal cloud. "This smell so good, I wonder what ingredient is that even by smelling it could make my body felt stronger and healthier." A cultivator in his Peak Adept Realm comments as he was here on behalf of his clan to check on the new potential within the Pill Hall.
"This is the Firesaint Mushroom from the Mysterious Peak Treasure Store! This one also from there, the Grain Feathered Peacock's Soul Essence Pearl! With this two, added with my Marble Stone Essence Fruit and the Heaven Yin Essence Pearl and Hell Yang Essence Pearl, this all is enough for me to try and concoct the Golden Jade Holy Pill!" Long Feng is shocked. He would never dare to imagine that without noticing the ingredients within his Spatial Inventory is actually enough for him to concoct the Mysterious Golden Jade Holy Pill. If he knows it earlier back, perhaps he would already try, and perhaps he might be failed in his trial.
But this time, even the God of Luck is smiling on his side, because of other than this five specialized Ingredients, Long Feng actually possess the [Harmonizing Essence Blood], a special ingredient for him to properly mix all five special ingredients in his hand into a perfectly rich concoction. Added with the [Corpse Refining Tiger's Heart] and the [Blood Crow's Crimson Heart], Long Feng could create the life and soul within this Pill, allowing the perfection of this concoction to evolve even further, something that exceptionally unexpected from any Pill Masters. And this was not all.
Long Feng final two ingredients, the [Fabricator Organ] added with the [Essence Fabricator Tablet] will allow the gathering process of his Elemental Essence Absorption, YinYang Essence Absorption became even fearsome, where by allowing this final two ingredients, Long Feng not only could create a surrounding rich with YinYang Energy and Elemental Energy to nurture his Pill, he could even further matured his Pill, before the Refining process is completed.
"I've decided! I will concoct this Golden Jade Holy Pill in front of this 5000 spectators, and build a name for myself!" Long Feng set his mind straight on his current target, and without any delays, he withdraws his five ingredients in hand to be ready to refine along with the five ingredients he just obtained from the second part of the examination.
"Roar!" Hu Mi roared loudly to shows the might and worthiness of a Harmonizing Ingredient producer, as she starts to sacrifice herself to properly refine the [Harmonizing Essence Blood] and the [Corpse Refining Tiger's Heart] for Long Feng to start using it after she passed away peacefully. The same thing happened at the Essence Fabricator Ant, where the essence energy around them is all absorbed into its abdomen, and making the Fabricator Organ better refined.
The moment this process happened, both Cultivation Beast's body started to shrink at a speedy rate, almost an indication of the life force had been forcefully used in refining the two ingredients within their body. About twenty minutes later, two drops of Essence Blood, a Dried Organ of a giant insect, a heart belonged to a Cultivation Beast that just refined all its life force within, and lastly, a tablet with weird kind of undulation of energy running rampant within.
Long Feng walked towards Corpse Refining Tiger's dead and dried body, as he moves her towards its pair of baby cubs. "From now onwards, the two of you will be named as Zhen Xi (Appreciating) and Gan Xi (Thankful). I will fulfil my promise to your mother that I will raise you both well, and let you be able to inherit her will, and keeps on growing until you are old enough to stands on your both feet." Long Feng pets the two baby cub's head as he speaks. As if their mother earlier caressing had already told them that their master from this moment will be Long Feng, the two cubs actually refined their mother's corpse and opened their eyes as they went to Long Feng's side.
"Hahaha, Barely a day old, and yet could actually start to refine a dead body... This two Cultivation Beast will have the potential to grow stronger than their mother in future." Elder Zhan is the first to praise the talent possessed by the two young baby cubs. The next moment, Long Feng went over to the cluster of unhatched eggs. Long Feng sits on its side, feeding some Essence Energy within his body into the 44 eggs on the ground as he patiently awaits their hatching moments.

"This kid doesn't seem to have any worries in being unable to refine his Pill. Is this attitude is being fuelled by his confidence or skills?" Elder Hun is the first to comment about Long Feng's current stability of his mind. As he was impressed by how calm the child is within the stage. Then, a shocking thing happened within the stage as the egg started to show a slight reaction. But within the reaction, a hint of carnage could be seen. "This is totally the same as how our world is. Only the strongest few within could survive their world of 44 yet to hatched brothers.
The larvae within wriggles as it moves from one egg to another. The stronger one refined those nutrients within with speed, while that weaker one is targeted immediately as their siblings beside had already completely refined all the nutrients within their eggs. The travelled larvae will quickly fight for the remaining nutrients within the next egg before they savagely kill and eat their siblings remains until nothing left. In the timespan of only ten minutes after the first reaction happens, the 44 larvae within the cluster of eggs, only four remain on the Top, Bottom, Left and Right.
The four hatched from their eggshell, as the body of the larvae quickly entered a cocoon stage that allows them to mature into an adult ants. Another ten minutes later, four Essence Fabricator Ants appears from the cocoons and swiftly went over to Long Feng's side, as if showing its approval and obedience toward the latter. Just like this, Long Feng's hand had suddenly obtained a total of Six Cultivation Beast younglings.
With the appearance of all this shock, what's remaining within Long Feng's mind, is no doubt going to bring more shock towards the spectators and also to the other participants including Gou Yu and Nan Jing Jing. Even Huang Ying and Yue Ying from the Xuan Wu Jade City, couldn't help but bear a hint of jealousy towards Long Feng's lucky encounter.
Without any delay in his step by step procedures, Long Feng began to properly nourish each single Ingredients within his inventory, by feeding some Element Wood energy towards the [Marble Stone Essence Fruit] and the [Firesaint Mushroom], while at the same time, injecting some Yin Energy into the [Hell Yang Essence Pearl] and some Yang Energy into the [Heaven Yin Essence Pearl]. He also allows the six young Cultivation Beast to get comfortable with their respective parents' life-refined ingredients, as he chose to refine the [Blood Crow's Crimson Heart] and the [Grain Feathered Peacock Soul Essence Pearl] by thoroughly heating them softly with a mild but comfortable fire.
Showing off his capability in controlling six ingredient in so many different way of nourishing the ingredients prior to their extraction stage, had given Long Feng an additional credit from each elders from the Silver Pill Hall, especially Elder Zhan and Elder Fen, as the two Elder's specialty is in growing and cultivating resources, and also in disassembling and hypothesizing the hidden ingredients used in each special Pills.
With the nourishing stage is completed, Long Feng delay no more as he entered his Cauldron Heating Stage. Since there is no restriction in using a personal cauldron, Long Feng withdraws his Second Human Grade Spirit Tool - White Stone Pill Cauldron and placed it on top of the table. When the cauldron appears to the spectators' eyes, a wave of medicinal trails slowly released through the air, creating a slight explosion of a medicinal fragrance once again to the nose of all spectators within the Arena.
"This kid actually owned such an undervalued treasure within his hand." Elder Lian couldn't help but praise the kid once again for possessing such a special Spirit Tool Cauldron in his hand. "Brother Lian, is this the cauldron you used to love using when younger to refine any Medicinal Herbs you obtained from the Realm of Vast Prefecture of Herbs?" Elder Hun asked. "It is the same material built, but mine had already been destroyed when I'm trying to refine a Sixth Category Pill called [Fate Pill/Ming Yuan Dan], a Pill that has the power to increase the strength of your power in controlling your Fate. That was my biggest regret ever, although I actually possess the better Fourth Human Grade Spirit Tool - Fireweaving Clear Cauldron." Elder Lian explains as he sighs for a moment for remembering his previous terrible luck.
"This kid, if he appreciates thing cauldron as if it is the same as his life, the Cauldron might have the luck to met its significant other, the Black Stone Pill Cauldron, to be refined together through Elemental Essence to form the best Third Heaven Grade Spirit Tool - the YinYang Qilin Soul Cauldron." Elder Lian speaks, as he looked towards Long Feng once again. "Brother Lian, what is so special about that kid's cauldron anyway?" Elder Fen, being the youngest among the five asked as his disassembling profession doesn't require him to utilize the cauldron too much.
"The White Stone is taken and refined from the Mountain of Holy Qilin Peak. The moment all the Medicinal Herbs made contact with the stone, a hint of fragrance will be released from within the stone to categorize the quality of the medicinal herbs. The more medicinal herbs are refined before with the cauldron, the stronger the fragrance, and if it is used in refining Pills, the quality of the Pill and its flavour is remarkably delicious." Elder Lian explains, but unfortunately, the owner of this White Stone Pill Cauldron, couldn't shift any of his attention towards the elder as his Pill Refining process had just got more serious!
"It's the special Cauldron Firing Technique again!" a few spectators who already caught the moment of Long Feng's first Primary Basic Examination's performance, immediately notices his action once again in the step of firing up his cauldron into its peak condition. With the same performance once again, Long Feng ignite three Strong Flame Wisps on the bottom, one Soft Flame Wisp within the cauldron, and began to starts firing up his cauldron.
The cauldron heat up in a perfect and evenly sequence, as the howls from perfectly firing up the cauldron sounds alongside with a few other disciples as well! Yue Ying, Huang Ying, Chu Yi, Gou Yu, Nan Jing Jing, Zhang Pu, Tie Peng, Chen Nan, and Liu Tsung from the Top 10 seats, also managed to heat their cauldron at the same time! If this goes along the way, the chances of all ten seats on the top will be able to finish refining their Pill at the same time!
But.
Long Feng felt something is amiss within his cauldron but he couldn't understand why he would have this feeling out of sudden. "Is there a flaw within my White Stone Pill Cauldron?" Long Feng did not stop firing his cauldron as he inspects it, but at the end, he still failed to notice why would his heart felt something is amiss within this step he had just completed. He checked his inventory as he tried to calm himself down, only to notice that the Clearness Jade Gemstone within his Spatial Inventory is flashing with a brilliant light.
Touch.
Long Feng entered into the Imaginary Realm once again, but this time, instead of stopping at one location, the surroundings by his side is actually behaving like a screen projector with at least hundreds of scene is loading again and again. Stunned with such happening, Long Feng tried his best to understand and remember each single screen of information as he paid attention, not too long after, he noticed one screen that was showing the correct way to properly harness the hidden properties within the Cauldron used in Pill Refining.
The screen behaves as if that it was waiting for Long Feng's attention, with the word [Cauldron Harnessing Art] is written on top as the blurry background repeating its content. This pique Long Feng interest, as he was having some suspicion on his cauldron before he entered this Imaginary Realm.
