Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2791 - 2790: Refining Soul Replenishing Pill!
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
Having firmly set his objective for the forthcoming War God Competition deep in his mind, Lin Dong quietly resolved:
"Now, it’s time to prepare meticulously for this War God Competition."
Countless Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, including elite ones from the top ranks beneath the Secondary Ancestor, will converge in the Five Elements Land.
Full readiness is essential for him, and he can’t approach it like an ordinary War God Competition.
Determination and eagerness gleamed in his gaze, as though he already envisioned the horde of rivals awaiting him there.
Given his soaring fame now, hidden foes must be lurking in abundance.
Not even Tian Sha has earned Lin Dong’s complete trust.
Throughout the War Department Competition, he lacks anyone reliable, likely meaning no true allies at all.
Rivals could very well unite to target him specifically.
Thus, utmost preparation is vital for him to endure the deadly perils of this War God Competition.
And to fulfill his key ambitions!
First on his mind was crafting the Deadwood Dan.
For a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist like him today, the Deadwood Dan remains top-tier treasure.
It swiftly replenishes inner Qi, yanking him from exhaustion’s depths back to peak condition.
Amid the brutal clashes ahead, inner Qi reserves will dictate his life or death and triumph.
Luckily, three invaluable Millennium Encounter Spring Trees sit ready, courtesy of Tian Sha’s compensation.
This scarce spirit tree serves as the core ingredient for forging Deadwood Dan.
Bursting with vital life essence, the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree unleashes special medicinal effects in alchemy, boosting Deadwood Dan’s potency immensely.
Lin Dong understands perfectly that these Deadwood Dans will let him battle freely, unburdened by inner Qi drain.
Still, Lin Dong craved more than that alone.
He recognizes that potent mental power rivals inner Qi abundance in combat’s demands.
Memories of the hundreds of soul stones harvested from odd beasts in the Earth Dragon Venerate’s corpse world flooded him with thrill.
Such soul stones form the vital essence for brewing the "Soul Supplement Pill," ideal for mental power recovery.
Armed with them, he could produce ample Soul Supplement Pills to restore his mental strength swiftly amid grueling fights.
His mental power now crests at the thirty-ninth level’s pinnacle, shy of the mythic fortieth, yet its might remains formidable.
Against typical Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, his mental prowess alone can deliver crushing strikes.
He grasps that mental recovery sharpens his edge further, rendering him nigh-unbeatable in strife.
With that in mind, Lin Dong wasted no time and dove straight into forging the Deadwood Dan and Soul Supplement Pill.
With a casual flick, the Five-colored Furnace, shimmering mysteriously from the Dragon Ring Space, materialized in front of him.
This trusty Five-colored Furnace had aided his pill-making for years, and upon emergence, its spirit Xiao Wu let out a joyful cry.
"Master, it’s been ages since you refined pills. I’ve been starved for fresh air too."
Lin Dong chuckled: "Don’t worry, we’re in for at least two days of pill-refining this time, so breathe deep."
"Plus, I’ll let you in on this: soon I’m heading to an enchanting realm. It matches your essence perfectly. You might snag a big breakthrough there."
Lin Dong reasoned thus because the Five Elements Land aligned seamlessly with the Five-colored Furnace.
It might hold the keys for the Five-colored Furnace’s next evolution—its golden chance.
His words weren’t empty hype.
Xiao Wu, the Five-colored Furnace’s spirit, cried out gleefully upon hearing this.
"For real? Awesome, master, I’m eager to level up more!"
"If you crave it, then hustle hard." Lin Dong sounded like a cunning boss dangling incentives to staff.
Pumped by the promise, Xiao Wu buzzed with zeal, eagerly aiding Lin Dong to kick off the alchemy.
Lin Dong first eyed the three Millennium Encounter Spring Trees he held, these rare spirit herbs wafting subtle scents, brimming with nature’s raw vitality.
He didn’t dawdle, deftly hurling the Millennium Encounter Spring Trees into the Five-colored Furnace before igniting its inner blaze.
Flames swirled vividly, painting the furnace’s interior in rainbows, while Lin Dong’s moves flowed with expert precision, turning Deadwood Dan refinement into seamless artistry.
As moments ticked by, rich pill scents wafted from the furnace, heralding the Deadwood Dan’s near completion.
Contentment flashed in Lin Dong’s eyes, his vast experience making Deadwood Dan crafting routine mastery.
Moments later, the furnace lid eased open, revealing three plump, uniform, lustrous Deadwood Dans nestled within.
A faint smile crossed Lin Dong’s lips as he pocketed these three batches of Deadwood Dan; combined with prior stock, they’d fuel him through the War God Competition’s fiercest clashes.
But the true test lay ahead. Lin Dong shifted to Soul Supplement Pill forging—a recipe he’d never tackled, stirring inner unease.
Plus, Soul Supplement Pill ranks a grade above Deadwood Dan in difficulty.
Lacking prior familiarity, he opted to refine them singly, aiming to unlock their secrets step by step.
Cautiously, he drew forth the soul stones won perilously from the Earth Dragon Venerate’s inner realm, each pulsing with potent soul essence.
In his initial go, Lin Dong poured total concentration into every motion, chasing flawlessness.
Sadly, upon lifting the lid, no pill emerged—the Soul Supplement Pill had fizzled into dissipating azure mist.
"Failed!"
Yet that’s expected; Soul Supplement Pill’s superior tier makes debut flops routine.
Undeterred, Lin Dong pressed on, aware alchemy’s road brims with setbacks and trials.
For the second round, he fine-tuned flame heat and herb timings with extra care, but failure struck again.
Still, Lin Dong’s alchemy genius shone undimmed, even through shadows.
On the third try, insight dawned abruptly; his gestures smoothed, eyes ablaze with fresh intensity.
As the lid rose once more, a Soul Supplement Pill glowed softly blue, radiating soothing soul ripples, right there for him.
A broad grin broke on Lin Dong’s face then—he’d conquered the hurdle, birthing his first Soul Supplement Pill.
This success marked mastery of yet another lost alchemy art.
"Now, time to attempt dual pills per furnace!" Lin Dong murmured inwardly.
One Soul Supplement Pill wouldn’t suffice; he required a stockpile.
Only thus could he brace for the looming War God Competition!
