"I wonder what kind of taste this bone refined pill has!"
Du ke licked his lips, while also throwing this section of bone into his own black ding.
As soon as the bone entered the black ding, the flames inside the ding suddenly soared, wrapping the Jiao bone completely.
At first glance, it was as if this dragon bone was wearing a layer of flowing maple syrup.
At the same time, Du ke's body also shook.
"Damn, why did it extract so much strength this time?"
Du ke said to himself that it was not good, and directly jumped down from the ceiling. When he landed, Du ke felt that his four limbs were weak.
At this point, he did not dare to delay any longer, and directly drilled into the utility room.
The cat that entered the utility room, its strength was continuously extracted by the black ding, making it even lack the strength to climb up the hanging basket.
The cat that fell to the ground, squeezed out a moan from his throat.
"How could it extract so much strength?"
Du ke usually refines Rijing Dan and Yuehua Dan. As long as the blood food Dan is replenished enough, he can refine from morning till night.
He had never encountered a situation where: just after starting, there was no strength for a cup of tea, and his strength was greatly extracted.
"I still underestimated this bone!"
Du ke moved his mind to take out the blood food Dan. After swallowing the blood food Dan, the cat whose strength gradually recovered, before he could catch his breath, the efficacy of this blood food Dan was also exhausted.
"I don't believe it!"
Du ke clicked his tongue, and when the effect of the blood food Dan was exhausted, he took out all the remaining few blood food Dans.
Like putting coins in a video game machine, Du ke stuffed pills into his mouth one after another.
The pills refined by the black ding were more powerful than all the pills he had seen before. At present, however, Du ke was like a bottomless pit, with strength being continuously drained, and even the blood food pills could not replenish it.
In the blink of an eye, the cat who had eaten up the blood food pills, its eyes suddenly widened.
After draining his strength, the black ding began to drain his blood energy.
Feeling the loss of blood energy, the cat began to take pills again.
This time, he took Blood Qi Dan, which had been refined twice. The efficacy was far superior to similar pills, and the potency was extremely pure.
As soon as Blood Qi Dan entered the stomach, it was transformed into blood energy to replenish the blood energy Du ke had lost.
"It looks like I have to endure it for a while!"
Looking at the bone wrapped in flames in the black ding, with a layer of translucent liquid beads surfacing, Du ke also sighed.
For the sake of cultivation, for the sake of progress, he could only become a pill harvesting machine.
..................
Yunzhou, Yun Family.
The Yun Family Manor was built against the mountain, with pavilions and towers following the contours of the mountain, and corridors and bridges hidden among the clouds and fog. Occasionally there were spiritual cranes flying by, disappearing into the mist.
In a certain pavilion.
Yun Shan, who was no longer plump, walked into the room holding a box of pills.
"Miss, your Extreme Border Pill!"
Yun Shan had just spoken when Su Qiluo also turned her head. Her emaciated appearance looked at the wooden box in Yun Shan's hand with her brows furrowed.
"Auntie Yun, how much longer do we have to stay here?"
"Has third uncle said anything about going home yet?"
"Miss, the intricacies involved here, you should just focus on your cultivation first."
Yun Shan sent the wooden box to Su Qiluo and saw the worried girl. She also persuaded: "If the general was here, he would definitely not want to see you like this."
When Yun Shan mentioned the general, sadness grew deeper in the girl's eyes as she took the wooden box.
"I miss the general, I miss home."
"Miss, endure it for a while longer!"
Yun Shan knew she couldn't find fault with the owner, so she could only change the subject.
"Now the whole Yunzhou is helping you find the general, he will definitely be found."
"I hope so!"
Su Qiluo opened the wooden box and looked at the nine pills inside. She also sighed.
However, cultivation could not be neglected.
Because that's what the general said!
Before the general regained his strength, she had to become stronger to better protect him.
Because we made a promise.
..............
At the same time, on the mountain top.
Inside a certain pavilion.
"Elder Yun, the chess game you played was quite ingenious."
Su Xiuwu had just finished speaking and coughed twice. Sitting opposite Su Xiuwu was an old man with all white hair and beard, yet with a childlike face and clear eyes.
The old man stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "This old man didn't live so many years in vain. Dealing with you youngsters is easy as waving my hand."
"Come on, it's your turn, let's play another game!"
"Facing you elderly, we young people naturally can't compete." Su Xiuwu's expression remained unchanged as he picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard. Elder Yun Yeqiu also laughed unchangedly: "Among my numerous children, I love Qing'er the most!"
"Back then I was very unwilling for Qing'er to marry far away to your Su Family in Qingzhou."
Speaking of this, Elder Yun also sighed.
"But I couldn't stop Qing'er's stubborn temper. No one could stop her from doing what she wanted, so I could only let her go."
Hearing Elder Yun's words, Su Xiuwu no longer spoke, assuming the posture of a junior, listening silently.
"But how long had my daughter stayed in your Su Family?"
Elder Yun gripped a white chess piece, his eyes becoming fierce and ruthless.
"Only three years!"
Exerting a bit of strength with his fingertips, crushing the chess piece into powder, Elder Yun let out a cold snort.
"In just three years, my beloved Qing'er whom I held gently in fear of breaking her, ended up reduced to a pile of dry bones!"
Slap!
Crushing another chess piece, Elder Yun said word for word: "I, am very heartbroken!"
Cold sweat broke out on Su Xiuwu's forehead, but he just looked at the crisscrossing chessboard, not daring to utter a word.
"Now, I pity my granddaughter, so letting her accompany this old man for a while is not okay?"
"Little Luo is still the eldest daughter of our Su Family..."
Su Xiuwu's lips trembled, and Elder Yun laughed loudly.
"The Su Family.... Hahahaha!"
"What your ancestors did to gain this hundred years of heritage, you all know best yourselves!"
"Normally, I don't care what you do to continue your legacy, that is your business."
"But if you want to drag my beloved Qing'er's little girl into it....."
Elder Yun's expression suddenly became terrifying and hideous. Blue veins bulged from the back of his hand, his hair and beard swayed in the still air. Opening his mouth wide, revealing snow-white teeth.
"Do you believe I will stab a hole in this sky?!"
Cold sweat pooled on Su Xiuwu's forehead, dripping down his cheeks. His back was also drenched, clothes sticking tightly.
"Little Luo is my Su Family's eldest daughter..."
Su Xiuwu's voice was extremely hoarse, but he still clenched his fists and muttered: "She is to inherit my Su Family's legacy!"
"Humph, it's true that your Su Family has attained the same level by martial arts! "
"But times are changing, my Yun Family's offspring are no worse than those of your Su Family!"
Having said this, Elder Yun's expression returned to calm, as if nothing had been said.
"By the way, the ancestral refinement of my Yun Family will start in ten days. I will have little Luo participate, you as her uncle should come to observe the ceremony."
"Someone send the third young master of the Su Family back to rest!"
When Elder Yun said this, Su Xiuwu's expression changed.
This old guy had faked his death before, tricking them to come to Yunzhou. And now he was even eyeing his Su Family's eldest daughter!
This was too excessive!
Before Su Xiuwu could react, two figures silently appeared behind him.
The two of them not only held Su Xiuwu still, but also sneered in unison: "Please, third young master of the Su Family!"
"No need to trouble you two!"
Su Xiuwu stood up and walked out of the pavilion with effort.
After Su Xiuwu left, Elder Yun stared at the chessboard in front of him for a long time without speaking.
But after a while, the chessboard was smashed with a palm strike, a low roar shaking the pavilion continuously.
"Why should my Yun Family's noble daughter become a sacrifice for your Su Family?!"
"On what grounds?!"
................
"It's finally almost over!"
Du ke stared at the bones wrapped in flames within the black cauldron, sincerely exclaiming in admiration.
The bones wrapped in flames had nine elixir pills rolling around them, each as smooth and round as a relic.
In order to refine these bones, Du ke had endured nearly two hours of torment.
However, after two hours of roasting within the cauldron's flames, the bones themselves did not change, only secreting quite a few crystallized, translucent drops of liquid from the crevices.
Under the extraction of the flames, these drops of liquid solidified into elixir pills, while the bones remained exactly the same as they were before.
However, Du ke now identified objects not with his eyes, but with spiritual rhythms.
Although the bones did not change, the spiritual rhythms they emanated had weakened somewhat, but only a little.
Du ke estimated that the spiritual rhythms of the bones had only lost about one-fifth so far!
"Just what kind of creature's bones are these that even the black cauldron cannot directly refine!"
Du ke murmured quietly. The black cauldron shook violently, expelling the bones and elixir pills from within.
As the flames within the black cauldron returned to calm, Du ke murmured: "Don't know how to strengthen this black cauldron, an instruction manual would've been good!"
As he was speaking, Du ke got up from the ground and retrieved some elixir pills from the space within the black cauldron. But they were not pills refined from the bones, rather blood-essence pills.
Before officially using those other elixir pills, Du ke had to first adjust his state, otherwise the effects of the pills would be somewhat wasted.
After getting his state properly set, Du ke once again opened the space within the black cauldron, removing the pills refined from the bone juices.
"Wonder what they taste like!"
As Du ke spoke, he shoved the elixir pills into his mouth. The moment the pills entered, they instantly melted away and Du ke's eyes opened wide!
"This medicinal efficacy is..."
