Chapter 12: The Art of Refining Spirits of All Beasts
In the inner courtyard, Lin Yuan’s small yard.

Zi Yan, who was sitting at the table, held a spoon in her hand, and stared with sparkling eyes at the cup of delicious dessert in Lin Yuan's hand. Just by looking at it, Zi Yan could feel the cool atmosphere.

"Here, a special dessert with Earth-Tempering Body Milk, Zi Yan's Happy Cup." In Zi Yan's expectant eyes, Lin Yuan chuckled and confidently placed the giant cup of dessert in front of Zi Yan.

It is the Earth-Tempering Body Milk developed by Lin Yuan, combined with a variety of spiritual fruits and medicinal materials to create the Douqi Continent version of "ice cream" with excellent energy and taste.

Zi Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to pick up the spoon, scooped a large spoonful of "ice cream", and put it into her mouth. The coolness instantly melted on the tip of her tongue. The intoxicating taste and wonderful taste formed by the interweaving of multiple flavors made Zi Yan couldn't help but let out a satisfied sound. She closed her eyes, shook her head, and savored the deliciousness carefully.

Seeing Zi Yan's intoxicated expression, Lin Yuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel a little proud and satisfied, and his thoughts became a little distracted.

"As expected, it's hard for a child to refuse this. This is a special fifth-grade elixir! It's a pity that it can only be used by magic beasts."

"In a world with abundant resources, cooking skills are more likely to exist, and alchemists are indeed good candidates for being cooks. Their fire control abilities and soul perception are perfect for cooking!"

Various thoughts flashed through Lin Yuan's mind. After a while, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile, and couldn't help laughing at his own thoughts.

"How could the arrogance of the alchemists in Douqi Continent, where the strong are respected, possibly study cooking, which is used by ordinary people to make a living? Moreover, the profoundness of alchemy alone is enough to consume all their energy. Even if it weren't for Zi Yan, I wouldn't study this!"

This is a paradox: alchemists with powerful skills would not want to study cooking, but ordinary people who are willing to study cooking are unable to process high-level ingredients due to their own weakness.

Looking at Zi Yan who was fighting with the food in front of her, her intoxicated expression when she put the food into her mouth made Lin Yuan unconsciously think of the panda "eating show" he had seen before, and his eyes couldn't help but become more gentle.

“Don’t worry, there are still a lot!” As he said that, Lin Yuan sat down beside himself, took out a pot of fruit wine, and drank while watching the unique “Dragon King Eating Broadcast” in front of him, enjoying this rare leisure.

In the inner courtyard, in the office of the great elder, Lin Yuan was talking to Su Qian.

"Great Elder, I have completed the alchemy task that I have undertaken. This is the fifth-grade elixir in the task." As he spoke, Lin Yuan handed a storage ring to Su Qian.

"It was completed so quickly?" Su Qian was also a little surprised when he heard it.

Looking at the many pills in the ring, they were full of color and had a strong fragrance. They were all very good pills. Su Qian couldn't help but admire: "Your alchemy skills are probably not much worse than Old Man Huo's. It's true that young people are formidable. You are a fifth-grade alchemist at the age of fifteen. It really makes sense that Old Man Huo is so optimistic about you. Your talent in alchemy is really terrifying!"

"Thank you for your praise, Great Elder. This is mainly due to the training of the Fire Master. I still have a lot to learn in alchemy." Lin Yuan replied modestly after hearing this.

Hearing this, Su Qian looked at the young man in front of him who was as humble as always, and there was a bit more appreciation and satisfaction in his eyes. It was very rare for someone to be able to remain humble and sober when achieving impressive achievements at a young age. People with this kind of mentality are more likely to realize their talents and transform them into strength and achievements.

"I already have what you asked me to keep an eye out for. Here, this is for you. It's a scroll of low-level earth-level body-refining fighting skills treasured by the academy. Consider it a reward for you refining so many fifth-grade pills for the academy! It will suit your needs very well." Su Qian handed Lin Yuan an ancient scroll.

Lin Yuan took it and looked at it, only to see a few large, ancient characters with a wild aura coming into view, "The Art of Refining the Souls of a Hundred Beasts".

Lin Yuan put the scroll into the ring, bowed to Su Qian and said, "Thank you, Great Elder!" Su Qian stroked his beard and smiled, "You are the pride of Canaan Academy. You don't need to be so polite. Just take care of Zi Yan. You have helped me a lot by making that little girl obedient and practice. It's not easy to make her obedient. It's great that you can make her learn the Cloud Dragon Dance. I can rest assured a little bit."

"Don't worry, Great Elder. Zi Yan is like a younger sister in my heart. I will take good care of her!" Lin Yuan replied decisively.

"That's good."

After the two chatted about Zi Yan for a while, Lin Yuan said goodbye to the great elder and returned to his own courtyard.

After returning to his own courtyard, Lin Yuan found Zi Yan sleeping on the bed in the room. Lin Yuan sensed it and said, "Is she digesting the energy she has absorbed recently? Zi Yan has indeed eaten a lot of high-energy foods recently. She should be able to become much stronger after digesting it this time!"

During the three months that Lin Yuan and Zi Yan were in the back mountain, they relied on Zi Yan's treasure-hunting ability to find many treasures from heaven and earth, most of which were medicinal herbs guarded by magical beasts. Facing Zi Yan and Lin Yuan, those below the Dou Huang level had little ability to resist, and as a result, Lin Yuan harvested a large number of elixirs, magic cores, and magical beast corpses, a considerable portion of which became Zi Yan's food.

After confirming that Zi Yan was fine, Lin Yuan left the room, returned to the pavilion in the courtyard and sat down. He took out the scroll he had obtained from Su Qian and studied it carefully.

The Hundred Beasts Spirit Refining Technique was created by the Lord of Hundred Beasts hundreds of years ago. Once this method is mastered, the practitioner can obtain a body and strength that is not inferior to or even surpasses that of magical beasts of the same level. One can even use the secret techniques contained therein to burn blood energy, improve strength in a short period of time, and achieve an effect similar to the violent bloodline of the Snow Demon Ape.

The practice of this technique is divided into three stages: awakening the spirit, refining the spirit, and ascending the spirit:
The first stage is to awaken the soul, using one's own blood essence and the blood essence of one's natal magic beast to cultivate a blood furnace. The choice of the natal magic beast is crucial, as it is related to the upper limit of the Hundred Beasts Soul Refining Technique. The more powerful the magic beast's bloodline is, the higher the upper limit of this technique can be raised.
The second stage is to refine the spirit, using the Qi and Blood Furnace to continuously refine and extract the essence of the blood of various monsters to strengthen the practitioner's body, thereby achieving the sublimation of the bloodline and improving the practitioner's body and Qi and blood strength;

The third stage is the spiritual ascension. The sublimated blood and powerful Qi and blood power are used to continuously feed back to the Qi and blood furnace, making the Qi and blood furnace more spiritual and giving birth to a natal blood pill in the Qi and blood furnace.

Among them, soul refining and soul upgrading are carried out alternately. After refining ten kinds of magic beast essence and blood, it is necessary to upgrade the soul once, and continuously improve the natal blood pill. After the natal blood pill is fully developed, it will continue to sublimate with the improvement of the practitioner's cultivation, and continuously breed higher quality blood energy to enhance the practitioner's body and blood.

In addition, you can also use secret methods to stimulate your natal blood pill to temporarily increase your strength.

After studying for a while, Lin Yuan came to the conclusion that there are three difficulties in practicing this technique. The first is to obtain high-quality magic blood of monsters in the awakening stage to nourish the qi and blood furnace. The second is to obtain a large amount of magic blood of monsters with the same or higher level of cultivation as the practitioner in the refining stage. The third is the intense pain of body refining during the process of strengthening the physical body.

This method is indeed very suitable for Lin Yuan, because for Lin Yuan, these three are not a big problem. The most troublesome stage of awakening the spirit can be solved by asking Zi Yan for help for high-quality magic beast essence and blood, and the soul refining stage requires a large amount of essence and blood, which can be solved with money. For him who is already a high-level alchemist, it is not a big problem. The pain of body refining is not worth mentioning for Lin Yuan who is determined to reach the top.

"This body-refining fighting skill is a bit like refining pills! It uses the essence and blood of the natal monster as the medium, the human body's blood and qi as the main material, and a large amount of monster blood as firewood, which makes the human body and blood constantly transform, and refines a miraculous natal blood pill. The fighting skill of the Hundred Beasts Venerable is really amazing."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan put away the scroll and walked towards the gathering area of ​​the elders.

"Go and post some tasks that use the essence and blood of high-level monsters in exchange for alchemy opportunities! And refine some Qi and blood elixirs."
