Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2901 - 2900: Expansion Pill!

Previously, Ye Linglong had embarked on a mission Over There in Outer Nanjing. The memories of the delicious beef and mutton from that place were still incredibly vivid. However, this Cow Demon Beast's meat proved to be even more exquisite!

"So, kebabs made from Cow Demon Beast meat are this delectable. It appears I should consume more Demon Beast Meat in the future." Before this encounter, she had harbored a slight aversion to the idea of eating Demon Beast Meat.

She had never imagined it would possess such an enticing aroma!

Lin Dong chuckled, "In reality, there's no need to feel apprehensive about eating Demon Beast Meat. Just avoid consuming any that appear in Human Form, and you'll be perfectly fine."

"Take this Cow Demon Beast, for instance. It's not significantly different from an ordinary cow; it simply lived for a longer duration."

"Then, it was nurtured by Spiritual Energy, which is likely the reason for its superior taste compared to standard beef."

Ye Linglong nodded, "You speak the truth. I desire more!"

The two consumed several jin of meat and still felt unsatisfied. They also shared a bottle of Dragon Year Sauce Wine from Lin Dong's personal collection. The mood was quite pleasant.

Following their meal, Lin Dong prepared an additional few jin of meat and resumed roasting. Once they had eaten and drunk their fill, the pair continued their journey.

"Why am I feeling a bit drowsy? Lin Dong, could you carry me on your back?" The usually composed Ye Linglong exhibited a rare moment of childlike indulgence, wanting Lin Dong to carry her instead of walking.

However, this was also part of her subtle strategy; it wasn't that she genuinely couldn't walk, but rather she desired to be close to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong obliged, bending down to lift her onto his back. Ye Linglong pressed herself firmly against his body. Lin Dong gently patted her thigh and said, "Hold on tighter; I'm about to increase our pace. I've located the Auxiliary Medicine required for alchemy on the expansion pill."

"Mm," Ye Linglong responded, wrapping her arms around Lin Dong more securely, her body pressing even closer.

Through this intimate contact, Lin Dong became acutely aware that Ye Linglong, beyond her long legs and captivating aura, was also... "well-endowed"... She possessed a truly magnificent physique!

In both form and appearance, she was the epitome of female perfection. Her skin exuded a healthy glow, and her legs were undeniably strong. A woman of such caliber could undoubtedly captivate anyone, even a monarch.

"Whoosh~~~" Lin Dong, with her on his back, surged forward at an accelerated speed. Very swiftly, they arrived at a secluded Mountain Valley.

Within this valley lay a tranquil Small Lake, and bordering its edge grew a multitude of Herbs. These were herbs that were exceptionally scarce in the outside world. However, on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, in this region abundant with Spiritual Energy, they were quite commonplace.

"That must be the fresh Auxiliary Medicine, 'Snake Spirit Grass,' which is essential for refining the expansion pill," Lin Dong announced, pointing towards a patch of grass that bore a resemblance to snakes. Indeed, it was Snake Spirit Grass, displaying a variety of colors: red, green, and black.

Among these, the black variants held the greatest efficacy, and Lin Dong proceeded to gather some. After ensuring he had acquired all the necessary ingredients, Lin Dong declared to Ye Linglong, "I believe I shall perform the alchemy right here. The environment is quite suitable."

Ye Linglong nodded in agreement, "Very well." Subsequently, Lin Dong erected a small Formation in the vicinity. This Formation served to contain the potent Spiritual Energy emanating from the Dan medicines, preventing it from dispersing and potentially attracting Demon Emperor Level Demon Beasts.

After all, Ye Linglong's cultivation was merely at the Second Stage Grandmaster level. Facing Demon Emperor Level Demon Beasts was out of the question; even a Demon Beast above Three Stars might prove too formidable for her.

To ensure absolute safety, Lin Dong implemented a dual layer of precautions. In addition to establishing the Formation, he retrieved the 'Puppet Statue' from his Dragon Ring Space. This Puppet Statue possessed the strength of a Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven cultivator.

With its presence, even if a Demon Emperor Level Demon Beast were to be lured to their location, it would be capable of handling the threat! Once all preparations were finalized, Lin Dong addressed Ye Linglong, "I shall now concentrate on the alchemy."

"Understood," Ye Linglong replied, positioning herself to the side to observe Lin Dong's alchemical process. Though she was not an Alchemist herself, witnessing a master like Lin Dong at work was, in itself, a valuable learning experience.

This particular expansion pill was the inaugural attempt by Lin Dong to refine it. However, its intended quality was a Fourth Level Best Quality Dan medicine. For him, an Alchemy King capable of concocting Five-grade Dan medicines, this was a trivial task.

Furthermore, his Alchemist Fire and Alchemy Furnace were currently incredibly potent artifacts. The Alchemist Fire was the Glazed Verdant Fire, currently in its Third Transformation. As for the Alchemy Furnace, it was the evolved Colorful Furnace.

With his exceptional tools and formidable strength, Lin Dong felt assured of successfully concocting the Fourth-Grade Supreme Pills' expansion pill on his inaugural attempt, even though it was his first time attempting such a feat.

However, for this initial try, he adopted a cautious approach, refining them individually.

This method ensured that any potential failure would result in the loss of only a single portion of the Dan medicine, rather than an entire furnace.

Not an entire furnace!

He meticulously gathered all the necessary materials for the expansion pill.

Gently stroking the Jade Box held in his palm, he revealed the main ingredient for this alchemy endeavor—the Demon Core of a Demon Emperor, which lay within.

This Demon Core encapsulated the Demon Emperor's lifetime essence and power, serving as the crucial component for refining the expansion pill.

Carefully positioning it at the heart of the Colorful Furnace, he then proceeded to take out stalk after stalk of Snake Spirit Grass, which shimmered with an ethereal luminescence.

This particular herb was the linchpin among the auxiliary ingredients, possessing the ability to gently guide the Demon Core's potent energy release.

"In the Path of Alchemy, the key lies in a mind as meticulous as a hair's width, and fire control is the most crucial element of all,"

Lin Dong softly articulated, his words seemingly directed at Ye Linglong, yet primarily serving as a self-reminder.

With a subtle flick of his finger, the Glazed Verdant Fire was precisely calibrated to its optimal temperature.

He then introduced over a hundred meticulously selected auxiliary ingredients, one by one. With the addition of each herb, he subtly adjusted the flame, engaging in a silent dialogue with the fire within the furnace.

Time trickled by, and a rich, medicinal aroma began to permeate the surroundings.

Lin Dong executed the alchemy process with methodical precision. His command over the heat and the refinement of the various herbs were executed with an air of unflappable composure, embodying the dignified presence of a revered Grandmaster Sect Master.

Finally, with a distinct, resonant "ding," a perfectly spherical Dan medicine, akin to a drop of jade and emanating a soft golden luminescence, slowly ascended from the Alchemy Furnace—it was the sought-after expansion pill!

"It's done!" Ye Linglong, observing from the side, was filled with awe; she had never witnessed such a flawless, one-time success in alchemy before.

Lin Dong, too, allowed a slight smile to grace his lips. Achieving success on the very first attempt left him thoroughly pleased.

This maiden success emboldened Lin Dong, imbuing him with a surge of confidence.

He resolved to undertake a more demanding challenge: attempting to refine multiple expansion pills within a single furnace.

This ambitious undertaking demanded not only enhanced skill but, more significantly, a profound comprehension of herb properties and impeccable fire control.

"Ling Long, this time I'm going to attempt a one-furnace batch. Act as my protector. Ensure no creature intrudes upon my concentration." Lin Dong's command carried an undeniable finality.

The art of refining a full furnace of Dan medicines was not to be trifled with; the slightest interruption was unacceptable.

While a dedicated Alchemy Room would have eliminated such concerns, they were currently situated in the untamed wilderness.

Numerous creatures still inhabited the area, and any unexpected arrival could potentially disrupt Lin Dong's delicate process.

The prospect of the entire furnace of Dan medicines failing due to such an event, resulting in a lamentable waste of precious herbs, was simply too disheartening to contemplate.

Therefore, preemptive measures were essential.

Ye Linglong vigorously nodded, assuring him, "Don't you worry, I won't even let a mosquito come within ten meters of you."

Lin Dong offered a nod and proceeded to reopen the Alchemy Furnace.

Lin Dong introduced double, or even more, of the herbs in succession, executing each step with heightened caution, as if engaged in a silent, intricate dance.

Under his precise direction, the flame fluctuated dramatically—at times fierce as a rampaging dragon, and at others gentle as flowing water—perfectly harmonizing with the evolving state of the herbs.

As time marched onward, the medicinal fragrance intensified, nearing a point where it seemed to coalesce into a tangible substance.

Lin Dong's gaze remained fixed intently upon the Alchemy Furnace; even the rhythm of his breathing appeared synchronized with the transformations occurring within.

Finally, following an exceptionally intense surge of flame, the Alchemy Furnace gave a slight tremor, and several expansion pills simultaneously ascended into the air, each one radiating a brilliant, dazzling light.

"An entire furnace, and all successful!"

Lin Dong turned to Ye Linglong, a triumphant smile gracing his features.

Ye Linglong, equally astonished, exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of the one I've set my heart upon, you are simply too incredible."

When a woman sincerely praises a man as incredible, it undoubtedly signifies the blossoming of true affection.
