"I see." Xu Qingyao nodded gently.

"Naturally, I know the cultivation conditions for the Spirit Plant tribe are exceedingly harsh, more so than for the Demon Beasts and Humans, making them more susceptible to heavenly tribulations. Thus, while there are over a dozen mighty beings in the Dao Seeking stage among the Humans and Demon Beasts, the Spirit Plant tribe has yet to produce even one."

"For this reason, they have conducted considerable research on methods to restrain heavenly tribulations..."

"However, this Ginseng King Race has no dealings with the Demon Court but is quite close to the Heaven-Reaching Tower, essentially an affiliated power of the Tower."

"Seeking pills from the Ginseng King Race may not go smoothly. After all, the Heaven-Reaching Tower may not wish for our Demon Court's mightiest to easily pass the thunder tribulations."

Lin Jing replied, "The world moves for profit. As long as there is enough interest at stake, I reckon they won't refuse. For now, the primary focus should be on enabling a Demon Beast to successfully transform into a human. Once there is a successful case, your status, Senior Sister, in the Demon Court will surely skyrocket, making everything easier thereafter."

"Before getting pills from the Ginseng King Race, I will also research effective Thunder Pills myself."

"Alright!" Xu Qingyao patted her chest and said, "Then let me make a trip to the Ginseng King Race, while you continue your research."

Lin Jing nodded.

Finishing the conversation, the Senior Sister flew away, immediately planning the trip to seek pills from the Ginseng King Race. As the Demon Court Saintess, now with the support of the Qilin Race, it's not an impossible task to ask for pills from the Ginseng King Race.

......

"Well, next we'll patiently wait for Senior Sister's Thunder Protection Pills to be ready." The most important thing for Lin Jing now is actually to find some Spirit Grass that effectively increases thunder resistance and body strength, then let the Pine Leaf Mouse synthesize them, and subsequently refine them into corresponding pills to increase the success rate of Demon Beast transformation.

However, with the Pine Leaf Mouse's recent breakthrough, there are too many things Lin Jing wants to experiment with, so this matter's priority has been directly pushed to the back by him, preferring to wait for the finished products from Senior Sister.

First, he tossed a few top-grade Spirit Stones to the Pine Leaf Mouse, to replenish its energy after synthesizing the Transformation Grass, then he dug a pot of soil right on the spot and placed it in front of the Pine Leaf Mouse.

In theory, now that the Pine Leaf Mouse has condensed the Five Elements Demon Pill, this Glazed Immortal Pupil should be able to synthesize resources of other attributes, right?

This patch of yellow soil, like the leaves scattered everywhere, isn't even a first-class resource. Lin Jing wondered if the Pine Leaf Mouse could synthesize it.

"Squeak..." The robed squirrel sat in meditation for a moment, energetically reanimated, then looked at the pot of soil Lin Jing had prepared and swept it with the Glazed Immortal Pupil.

The next instant.

A scene that quickly twisted Lin Jing's expression into joy occurred. The Pine Leaf Mouse, whose attributes had changed, indeed influenced the evolution of the Glazed Immortal Pupil; this large pot of soil turned directly into a small handful of black soil!!!

[Mutated Spirit Soil, once scattered on other lands, accelerates soil contamination, making it difficult for nearby Spirit Plants to survive.]

"Very good, very good, the familiar feeling has returned." Witnessing the great evolution of the Glazed Immortal Pupil, Lin Jing felt elated. From now on, resources of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth—could all be synthesized.

Although the combat ability of the Pine Leaf Mouse might not be on par with a Dragon Carp, in Lin Jing's view, its strategic value was irreplaceable.

Afterward, Lin Jing fetched a pot of Spirit Spring water for the Pine Leaf Mouse to synthesize.

[Mutated Spirit Spring, when consumed by mortals and animals, regardless of gender, can lead to pregnancy.]

"..."

Then he collected a few pieces of red fire gold used by Crane Cauldron as fuel for the Pill Furnace for the Pine Leaf Mouse to synthesize. This is a third-grade dual-attribute resource of metal and fire, and its synthesis difficulty is no less than that of Transformation Grass, a hundred times harder than synthesizing soil and spring water.

Nevertheless, the value of the synthesized product was entirely worth such strenuous synthesis.

[Mutated Red Fire Gold, when tempered within a Spiritual Fire for a millennium, has a certain probability of developing intelligence, turning stone into a spirit.]

"Strong." Lin Jing took a deep breath. In ancient times, there was a race more unique than the Demons and Spirit Plants.

That was the existence of spirits born from mountains and rivers, like a stone that could cultivate into a spirit, or a great mountain that could become a Mountain God.

However, the evolution of this race was even more difficult than the Spirit Plants gaining sentience, naturally having scarce members. Likewise, they were completely cut off by the Immortal Palace during their resistance back then.

This Glazed Immortal Pupil not only could revive the Demon Race but also aid in turning stone into spirit.

"Cultivation path successful..."

"Next, there are three more cultivation routes..."

Lin Jing, looking at the panting Pine Leaf Mouse, stroked his chin. At this moment, it was scratching its head, facing the many Spirit Pills Lin Jing had placed before it, and felt powerless.

With the enhancement of the Five Elements Pill, the Pine Leaf Mouse managed to synthesize resources of other attributes, but currently, there were still things it couldn't synthesize.

For instance, things synthesized couldn't be synthesized again, like common leaves could be synthesized into red leaves, but a large quantity of red leaves couldn't be synthesized a second time.

Also, composites couldn't be synthesized, like pills and magical treasures refined from different resources; no matter how hard the Pine Leaf Mouse tried, it never succeeded even once.

And then there's life.

A large swarm of mosquitoes, the Pine Leaf Mouse cannot combine the numerous lives into one.

Ideas grew more outrageous as they went on, but to Lin Jing, it was also the direction to gradually explore the Glazed Immortal Pupil. By helping it condense the Five Elements Demon Pill, he successfully unlocked a part of the hidden functions of the Glazed Immortal Pupil. The next question is, how can it achieve secondary synthesis, complete pill and treasure synthesis, or achieve life synthesis??

Lin Jing currently doesn't have a clear idea and can only play it by ear.

"Next, it's time for me to form the Core. My cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment, and I can completely go into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core Realm, but with the previous experiences as a lesson, I'd better prepare an auxiliary Core Formation pill and have the Ice Soul Gu accompany me for Core Formation too, to avoid taking another few decades to break through."

Regarding the Ice Soul Gu, Lin Jing had some concerns about the Core Formation resources. Although, with its talent, it could easily form a Core as long as it found a Land of Extreme Cold, yet the Dragon Carp has five unique fires for Condensing Pill, and the Pine Leaf Mouse has the perfect Cultivation Technique forged by countless Spirit Plants of the Heavenly Lion Race paired with the Five Elements Tree Man Pill for Core Formation. Lin Jing could not favor one over the other, ensuring the Ice Soul Gu's Core Formation resources were not overly shabby. This concerns the potential of its Demon Pill's Divine Techniques.

"What the Ice Soul Gu desires most is undoubtedly the Blood of Longevity, but that only increases longevity, being of little use for Core Formation."

"Besides, is it not also desiring to devour its kin...?"

"It's a characteristic among Gu worms that they can mutually devour to enhance their toxicity, though at its level, the cost-effectiveness of mutual devouring is low. Still, having something is better than nothing. Yet, today the Ten Great Strange Gu are scattered across the land, held by various powerful figures. Even the Gu God Sect has been robbed down to just three, making it difficult to snatch them back from such strong foes..." Lin Jing shrugged. Besides him, every owner of the Strange Gu has empty void combat power, making it impossible to snatch away.
