Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2891 - 2890: Great Progress in Alchemy Strength!

Following this, Lin Dong dedicated his continued efforts to refining elixirs.

His primary focus initially was the creation of the Deadwood Dan.

The core component for this specific elixir is the Thousand-Year Evergreen Tree.

It's worth recalling that after his confrontation with the War God of Extreme Joy, Lin Dong acquired a substantial quantity, precisely hundreds, of these Thousand-Year Evergreen Trees.

He now retrieved these invaluable materials, commencing the process of Deadwood Dan refinement.

It's established that a single Thousand-Year Evergreen Tree is sufficient for refining one batch of Deadwood Dan.

The ultimate number of pills yielded from each batch, however, is intrinsically tied to the alchemist's proficiency.

An alchemist with lesser skill, even if successful, would only manage to produce a meager handful of pills from a single batch.

For instance, an alchemist situated at the Third Grade level might, at best, yield a few pills per batch upon success.

In less favorable circumstances, it's conceivable that only a solitary pill could be obtained from an entire batch, representing a considerable indirect waste of the Thousand-Year Evergreen Tree's potential.

Lin Dong, operating at his current level of expertise, possessed the capability to fully harness the medicinal essence of the Thousand-Year Evergreen Tree.

This proficiency allowed him to extract a minimum of fifteen pills from a single batch.

Previously, his output was consistently around fifteen pills per batch.

However, with his newly elevated strength, having ascended to the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven, coupled with his enhanced mental power reaching the fortieth level, his current batch output was certain to exceed previous numbers.

The precise quantity remained a mystery, even to Lin Dong himself, for the moment.

Yet, this uncertainty was temporary.

Lin Dong then proceeded, utilizing the Colorful Furnace with practiced expertise to refine the Deadwood Dan.

His mastery over the Deadwood Dan refinement process was exceptionally profound.

He had engaged in this process countless times.

Errors were virtually nonexistent, and the entire batch was competently refined at an impressive pace.

Within approximately half an hour, the Deadwood Dan reached completion, emanating a delightful, fragrant medicinal aroma.

The Tiankiller and the White-Clad Blood Monk, observing from nearby, were filled with profound astonishment.

The Tiankiller found himself thinking, "While Lin Dong exhibits a degree of arrogance, it is undeniably backed by substance. To refine a batch of Deadwood Dan in a mere half hour—what other alchemist could possibly rival such a feat?"

The White-Clad Blood Monk's internal monologue echoed similar sentiments: "The Deadwood Dan, a treasure so coveted that even Heavenly Realm Martial Artists vie for it. Even I must exert considerable effort to procure a few. Yet, in the span of just thirty minutes, he has produced an entire batch."

"I wonder how many pills are in that batch? Surely no fewer than five, correct?"

As these thoughts occupied his mind, Lin Dong promptly dispelled his uncertainty.

The alchemy furnace lid was lifted, releasing a further wave of fragrance.

As Lin Dong peered inside, he began to meticulously count the refined pills.

"One, two, three... twenty-four, twenty-five!"

A grand total of twenty-five Deadwood Dans lay before him.

An astonishing twenty-five pills from a single batch—a pill count that defied expectation.

The White-Clad Blood Monk could not contain an audible gasp of admiration.

"Benefactor Lin Dong, your mastery of alchemy in this era is truly unparalleled. I have encountered numerous alchemists throughout my life, but in comparison to you, they are utterly insignificant."

"Even those alchemists possessing Sub-Ancestor level strength pale in comparison to your abilities."

In the face of the White-Clad Blood Monk's effusive praise, Lin Dong remained composed, displaying neither arrogance nor conceit.

He carefully gathered all the elixirs from the furnace and placed them into an elixir bottle.

Subsequently, he directly presented the entire bottle, containing the twenty-five Deadwood Dans, to the White-Clad Blood Monk.

"Master, this first batch of Deadwood Dan is a gift for you. I am deeply grateful for your assistance on this occasion."

A wave of astonishment washed over the White-Clad Blood Monk, who, typically serene, felt a distinct tremor in his heart.

This was an entire batch of twenty-five Deadwood Dans. Even for an individual ranked among the highest echelon below the Sub-Ancestor, the strongest claimant below that level, such a quantity was incredibly precious.

With just seven pills, one could revert from a severely depleted state to their peak condition.

Twenty-five pills were sufficient for him to recover fully three separate times!

The implications for future engagements were immense. This supply could allow him to hold his ground longer, even against a Sub-Ancestor, or potentially facilitate a successful escape.

"Benefactor Lin Dong, this offering seems exceedingly precious. I feel a sense of unworthiness in accepting it." While his desire for the elixirs was strong, the White-Clad Blood Monk perceived the substantial number of Deadwood Dans as an overwhelming token of gratitude.

He felt he possessed no equivalent treasure to offer in return.

However, Lin Dong responded, "Master, your presence here was instrumental in saving my life. In the context of my life's value, these elixirs are not considered precious."

"Please accept them, Master, as a symbol of my sincere gratitude."

Upon hearing Lin Dong's earnest words, the White-Clad Blood Monk accepted the gift. Nevertheless, he still expressed, "In truth, I contributed very little; I merely assisted in delaying the Tiankiller and the Blood Fool for a short period."

"It was you who ultimately defeated them. Furthermore, I suspect that even had I not intervened, Benefactor Lin Dong would still have found a way to escape."

"You simply needed to employ Sword Two to sever the Shura Blood Domain, followed by utilizing the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique for your escape."

"While that is accurate, had you not been present, I would certainly have been incapable of defeating Blood Fool and Tiankiller this time, and would have been forced into a retreat." Lin Dong stated.

His words held the ring of truth. In the absence of the White-Clad Blood Monk, the most unfavorable outcome would have been precisely as he described.

However, due to the White-Clad Blood Monk's intervention, Lin Dong not only managed to reverse the situation,

but he also succeeded in vanquishing Blood Fool and capturing Tiankiller.

Consequently, Lin Dong deemed that presenting him with a bottle of Deadwood Dan was a small token of his gratitude.

"Irrespective, I am still indebted to you. Should you require assistance in the future, dispatch a Communication God Talisman, and I shall undoubtedly answer your call." the White-Clad Blood Monk pledged.

Lin Dong responded with a chuckle, "Esteemed Master, your generosity overwhelms me."

Observing his acceptance, Lin Dong then commenced the process of refining a new batch of Deadwood Dan.

What followed was a period of adept and swift alchemical work.

One cauldron after another yielded Deadwood Dan.

Initially, the yield was twenty-five pills per refining session!

As Lin Dong continued his alchemical endeavors, this number steadily increased.

In his second attempt, he successfully refined twenty-six pills.

The third refining session produced twenty-seven pills.

And the fourth yielded twenty-eight.

With every subsequent refinement, the pill count rose by one.

Though a singular increase, it was nevertheless an impressive feat.

Upon reaching thirty pills, further augmentation became impossible.

It had reached the pinnacle.

Ultimately, with Lin Dong's current mastery of alchemy, he could extract thirty Deadwood Dan from a single furnace of Thousand-Year Evergreen Trees.

Such a remarkable accomplishment would undoubtedly compel any alchemist to aspire to become his disciple.

Even an alchemist of Fourth Grade would likely seek to join his ranks.

After completing six rounds of Deadwood Dan refinement, Lin Dong finally ceased his work.

Through this process, he amassed over a hundred Deadwood Dan, a quantity nearly sufficient for Lin Dong's use eight times over, even if he required fifteen pills at once!

Who could possibly rival such an immense hoard of Deadwood Dan?

The Sub-Ancestors would fall short.

Even beings at the true Ancestor level would likely be unable to match his sheer abundance.

Following the completion of the Deadwood Dan, Lin Dong shifted his focus to refining Soul Supplement Pills.

The process of refining Soul Supplement Pills presented a somewhat greater challenge. However, for Lin Dong, it posed no significant obstacle.

Lin Dong dedicated an additional day to refining five batches of Soul Supplement Pills.

From one furnace of Soul Supplement Pills, he could now refine ten pills.

His stockpile of Soul Supplement Pills consequently grew to fifty pills!

This quantity allowed for ten uses.

With these reserves of elixirs, Lin Dong felt a temporary sense of security.

Even if the Blood Clan Young Master were to appear, these would suffice.

Two full days had elapsed since the completion of these elixir refinements.

The waiting period Lin Dong had stipulated had arrived, yet the Blood Clan Young Master had still not made an appearance.

Lin Dong couldn't help but glance at Tiankiller, who was nearby, and shake his head with a wry smile, "It seems your true form truly does not dare to show itself."
