"Let's go, time to head back." Dugu Bo waved his hand, preparing to leave with the two.
Shi Quan suddenly spoke, "Grandpa Dugu, can I stay here to Cultivate? I feel this place is very suitable for my Cultivation, and while I Cultivate, I can also continue to try to sense the Medicinal Pill's potency. It's hitting two birds with one stone."
"Stay here to Cultivate?" Dugu Bo thought for a moment and nodded, "This place is indeed a rare treasure for your Cultivation. I will explain it to the academy. You can Cultivate with peace of mind, but you must remember what I told you: when I'm not around, absolutely do not touch the spring water or the Immortal Herbs randomly."
"Don't worry, Grandpa Dugu, I know what I'm doing," Shi Quan nodded in response.
"Then I'll send you down."
"No need, Grandpa Dugu, I can go down and come out by myself." As he spoke, Shi Quan summoned his Martial Spirit. His second spirit ring lit up first, and his hardened Blue Silver Grass inserted into the ground. Then, his second spirit ring lit up, and the Blue Silver Grass on the ground rapidly extended downwards.
"Interesting," Dugu Bo nodded, picked up Dugu Yan, and said, "Then I won't worry about you. You take care of yourself. I'll bring Yan Yan to find you again tomorrow."
With that, Dugu Bo ascended into the air with Dugu Yan.
"Yan Yan, what do you think of Shi Quan?" Dugu Bo looked at Shi Quan, who had disappeared from the mountaintop, and asked Dugu Yan, looking down at her.
"Shi Quan?" Dugu Yan thought for a moment and said, "He's smart, hardworking, a true Genius."
"Yan Yan, I'm asking you what you think of Shi Quan, that guy?" Dugu Bo repeated with a faint smile.
Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, then said coquettishly, "Grandpa, what are you thinking? Shi Quan is my junior. We've only known each other for a few months, and I already have a boyfriend. Don't try to play matchmaker here."
"You have a boyfriend?" Dugu Bo's eyes widened, "It's not that young man from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, is it?"
"That's right," Dugu Yan nodded shyly.
Dugu Bo asked with a look of helplessness, "When did you two get together? Why don't I know?"
"It was the day I brought Shi Quan to see you last time. I originally planned to tell you, but then I forgot, and you weren't around for the next few months, so I never told you."
"Alright, I didn't expect that kid to beat me to it. It's such a pity."
"Grandpa, Tianheng is also very outstanding, and he's also the future Legacy holder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. His talent, strength, and identity are all very impressive."
Dugu Bo said disdainfully, "He was born in a good place. If he had been born in the same circumstances as Shi Quan, he would have been left ten thousand eight thousand miles behind by Shi Quan long ago."
"Grandpa."
"Alright, alright, Grandpa knows. I won't talk about your little boyfriend anymore."
Dugu Bo sighed, only able to temporarily put aside the thoughts in his heart. To say he completely let go was not true. If Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng were to break up someday, then Shi Quan and Dugu Yan still had a chance.
...
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Shi Quan excitedly surveyed the various Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"This is the Qiluo Tulip, this is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, this is…"
After a tour, Shi Quan quickly found the Immortal Herbs that appeared in the original work.
"Let's see if it works first."
Shi Quan's gaze fell into the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
System storage space.
Shi Quan's gaze did not fall on the automated Pill Furnace, but on the Bloodline Extractor.
"Extract Bloodline Extractor."
With a thought, a blood-red, crystal-like hexagonal object appeared in Shi Quan's hand.
This seemingly crystal item was precisely the Bloodline Extractor.
Buried beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were the remains of the Water Fire Dragon King and Fire Dragon King. The power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well came from the two Dragon King remains. If he remembered correctly, the strength of these Two Great Dragon Kings in their previous lives was at the Divine Rank, and it seemed they had fallen during a great battle in the God Realm.
This meant that the Bloodlines of the Water Fire Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were both Divine Rank Bloodlines.
If the Bloodline Extractor could extract the Bloodline of any one of the Two Great Dragon Kings from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it would definitely be a sure profit.
"Extract the Dragon King Bloodline from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Shi Quan held the Bloodline Extractor towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and silently recited in his heart.
The crystal immediately emitted a bloody light that enveloped the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The bloody light merged into the spring water.
After a short while, the bloody light slowly receded and returned to the crystal.
"It won't work?" Shi Quan put the Bloodline Extractor back into the System space with a slight disappointment.
Fortunately, the Bloodline Extractor would not lose its function after failing; it would only become ineffective after succeeding. Otherwise, he would not have tried at all.
However, thinking about it, it was normal. After all, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was only formed from the residual power within the remains of the Two Great Dragon Kings. To extract a Bloodline, there must be a tangible existence. If it were the remains of the Two Great Dragon Kings in front of him, then it might be possible to extract successfully. But for just the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, failure was understandable.
"Then I can only make other plans," Shi Quan thought to himself, then turned his gaze to the automated Pill Furnace.
"Extract automated Pill Furnace."
"So small?" Shi Quan looked at the palm-sized Pill Furnace in his hand, feeling a bit doubtful about life.
Shi Quan thought the Pill Furnace would definitely not be small, so he specifically found an empty space. After extracting it, it turned out to be just this…
Touching the cold Pill Furnace in his hand, someone who didn't know might think it was just a nice-looking model.
After turning it around, Shi Quan noticed a button in the middle of the Pill Furnace.
With a gentle press, a light screen was projected from the top of the Pill Furnace.
The content of the light screen was very simple: "Welcome to the automated Pill Furnace, please select the Medicinal Pill you wish to refine," and in the middle, there was a button prompt to select a medicinal recipe.
Shi Quan raised his hand and tapped it. He didn't expect this light screen to be a touchscreen!
As expected of a high-tech product.
Clicking on the medicinal recipe selection, the screen immediately displayed a dense array of various medicinal recipes. Shi Quan casually opened one and looked at the unfamiliar medicinal ingredient names, directly choosing to give up.
The fixed medicinal recipes recorded in this Pill Furnace were not suitable for him. Fortunately, he noticed the automated medicinal recipe selection in the bottom right corner of the medicinal recipe selection.
The light screen changed, showing "Medicinal Recipe Efficacy Specification." Based on the content displayed on the light screen, Shi Quan entered his requirements.
Improve Martial Spirit quality, improve physical fitness, improve bone and muscle strength, improve Soul strength… To put it simply, he wanted a Tenfold Perfect Great Restoration Pill that could comprehensively enhance his strength.
After writing a series of requirements and clicking "Next," the light screen interface changed again. One side was "Edit Medicinal Recipe based on existing Immortal Herbs," and the other was "Edit Medicinal Recipe based on existing Pill Furnace medicinal recipes."
Shi Quan clicked the "Scan" button under "Edit Medicinal Recipe based on existing Immortal Herbs" without hesitation.
As soon as the scan button was pressed, a blue light curtain emanated from the top of the Pill Furnace. The light began to scan from one end of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, scanning the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well completely before returning to the appearance of the light screen.
The words "Analyzing Medicinal Ingredients" appeared on the light screen.
After a while, the screen prompted Shi Quan to inject a drop of blood into the Pill Furnace. After Shi Quan did so, the light screen changed to "Analyzing Target."
After a long time, the screen finally changed again, displaying a series of Immortal Herb images. Shi Quan roughly counted them, and there were over fifty types of Immortal Herbs.
Among them, several that Shi Quan found familiar included the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Blazing Apricot Delicate Softness, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Qiluo Tulip, and Eight Petal Immortal Orchid.
Shi Quan clicked his tongue in amazement, muttering to himself, "Using so many Immortal Herbs to refine Medicinal Pills, are you sure it won't kill me from overconsumption?"
One should know that after a normal person consumes one Immortal Herb, they cannot consume other Immortal Herbs. According to the display on the light curtain, the Medicinal Pills he needed to refine required at least ten types of Immortal Herbs.
If this Medicinal Pill was truly refined, Shi Quan would be a bit afraid to consume it.
However, Shi Quan looked at the words "Extract Medicinal Ingredient Essence" on the screen, and a hint of doubt appeared in his expression.
"Does it not require the entire Immortal Herb?"
Shi Quan then followed the prompt on the light curtain and first came to an Immortal Herb in the corner of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
There were many Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Whether Dugu Bo could remember all of them was another matter. This Immortal Herb was in a corner, and it wasn't a powerful Immortal Herb. If one was missing, Dugu Bo probably wouldn't notice.
Thinking this, Shi Quan clicked the six large characters "Extract Medicinal Ingredient Essence" on the screen.
The Pill Furnace in Shi Quan's hand floated up accordingly, slowly descending above the Immortal Herb. A green glow slowly spilled from the bottom of the Pill Furnace, enveloping the Immortal Herb. The light from the Pill Furnace suddenly brightened, and tiny emerald green lights suddenly appeared on the Immortal Herb, slowly merging into the Pill Furnace with the green glow.
In just five or six breaths of time, the green glow of the Pill Furnace dissipated and returned to Shi Quan's hand.
A mark also appeared below the corresponding Immortal Herb on the light screen: "Extraction Successful."
Seeing this, a hint of surprise appeared in Shi Quan's eyes.
From the outside, the Immortal Herb from which the Pill Furnace had just extracted medicinal power showed no obvious changes. However, if Shi Quan carefully sensed it through his Blue Silver Grass, he would feel as if the Immortal Herb had been hollowed out. Now, only an empty shell remained, and most of its medicinal power had been absorbed by the Pill Furnace through a strange method.
Next, Shi Quan repeatedly tested several Immortal Herbs.
The situation was the same in all cases. The Immortal Herbs that had their medicinal power extracted were like pillars eaten by termites. On the surface, they looked intact, but in reality, they were already riddled with holes and flaws, and were no longer of much use.
Moreover, without special means, it was impossible to discern any abnormality. Even Shi Quan could only sense the changes in the medicinal ingredients through his special ability of natural affinity, coupled with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit as an intermediary.
However, just in case, Shi Quan still kept a close eye on things and did not take this opportunity to extract all the Immortal Herbs displayed on the light screen at once. He first found a few more conspicuous Immortal Herbs, extracted their medicinal power, and then stopped. He planned to observe Dugu Bo's reaction the next day when he brought Dugu Yan to detoxify him, and only after confirming that he wouldn't notice, would he extract the remaining Immortal Herbs at once.
Anyway, it was a matter of a final push; there was no need to rush at this moment.
