"Lord Saint Son... have I succeeded?"

A moment later, the little white mouse wobbled up, looking like it was near death...

Lin Jing sighed. It was precisely for this reason that the trial pill demon beast had to be strong at that time.

Otherwise, even if a demon beast eventually succeeded in transforming using the Transformation Pill, this state wouldn't reflect the true power of the Transformation Pill and the demon tribe's strength...

"You succeeded." Lin Jing said, "Congratulations... this is the Transformation Pill. Seeing your transformation into a child's form, I'll name you Mouse Child."

"Mouse Child, continue to cultivate with your other four companions as usual. When I need you, I will call you. The day shouldn't be too far off."

"Thank you, Lord Saint Son!!!" Mouse Child was overjoyed. In its view, it had now gained Lin Jing's attention!

Surviving this trial of nine deaths was well worth it.

...

After completing the trial pill, Lin Jing checked Mouse Child's condition, then left the cave dwelling to find Senior Sister.

Mouse Child transformed from a demon beast state to a demon tribe state, but there was no significant change in cultivation power. The main changes were reflected in intelligence and comprehension.

The biggest difference between demon beasts and the demon tribe is that the demon tribe not only possesses the bloodline and physical strength of demon beasts but can also cultivate most of the human race's cultivation techniques and magic. They combine the advantages of both demon beasts and humans to a certain extent.

In Lin Jing's view, Mouse Child's transformation process was actually relatively normal.

In contrast, Mosquito Maiden's transformation should be considered an exception. After all, the mosquito beast race cannot be treated as a conventional demon beast.

Of course, it might also be because she underwent a stronger baptism, resulting in a significant increase in her abilities after transformation.

"Living up to expectations, I refined a Transformation Pill that reduces the power of heavenly tribulation. Although the transformation effect might be weaker, it's safer." Lin Jing reported to Xu Qingyao after finding her.

"You're truly a genius." Xu Qingyao was not surprised at Lin Jing's quick success. Miracles are often performed by those capable of creating them repeatedly.

"So, is there anything I can help with next? If not, you wouldn't have sought me out." Senior Sister asked with a smile.

"I'm planning to attend the Pill Assembly in a few months, but right now I lack a suitable trial pill demon beast. Although the side effects of the Transformation Pill have been greatly reduced, only attracting a Golden Core level heavenly tribulation, not just any Foundation Establishment demon beast can handle it." Lin Jing explained.

"If it's a mosquito beast, it requires too many to gather, making it inconvenient..."

"Hmm? Otherwise..." Before Xu Qingyao could speak, Lin Jing knew what she was going to say.

"Ice Soul Gu isn't suitable either."

"Although I previously considered using it to test the Transformation Grass as a last resort, it still poses two major risks. One is the unique life form of the gu worm, which is uncertain whether it can transform properly; and two... it now has a contract with me. Just like the Beast Taming Technique cannot contract plant spirits, there's a chance it also cannot contract a 'human-formed demon beast.'

"If the transformation of a contracted pet beast results in problems with the cultivation technique or the contract, it would not be worth it."

Senior Sister nodded, acknowledging Lin Jing's reasoning, and then said, "That's true, later we'll find a disciple from the Beast Taming Sect to make a substitute for the white mouse..."

"Just as well, let's assess the risk for father and Ouyang!"

"Senior Brother Ouyang hasn't emerged from seclusion yet?" Lin Jing asked. Ever since returning from the Qilin Race, he had been in retreat. Although Senior Brother Ouyang hadn't contributed much during the tea gathering, Senior Sister still distributed many resources to every member of Queyu. With such resources, naturally, there was a need for retreat to assimilate them.

This also meant Lin Jing hadn't shared his breakthrough with the Transformation Pill with him yet.

But that's fine; Lin Jing hadn't improved the quality of the Transformation Pill yet. Given a Core Formation Stage demon fox and a Nascent Soul Stage Lady Crane, even if they saw the hope of transformation, they couldn't attempt it. Rather than seeing hope too soon and anxiously waiting, it was better to stay in retreat until the transformation method was fully perfected.

"Not yet..." Xu Qingyao contemplated and said, "Should we extend another invitation to the little princess of the Thunder Dragon Race?"

"Hmm?" Lin Jing was taken aback.

Senior Sister pondered, "Although the Thunder Dragon Race Leader initially refused our experimental invitation, you also said that its choice was understandable from its perspective, as all life seeks benefit and avoids harm."

"Now, since the transformation method has been verified and recognized by His Majesty the Demon Emperor, the position of the trial pill demon beast is pure gold. If we hold no grudges and are willing to give its daughter a chance, the Thunder Dragon Race will certainly be greatly appreciative..."

"At that time... it wouldn't be too much to let the Thunder Dragon Race pay a little price for their previous oversight, right?" Xu Qingyao smiled slightly.

"So, what does the Thunder Dragon Race have that interests you, Senior Sister?" Lin Jing inquired.

"Of course, it's the scales and blood of the Thunder Dragon Race. You don't know, the scales and blood of the Thunder Dragon Race are acclaimed as one of the Celestial Essence Continent's top ten body tempering treasures!"

"Extremely precious. Even the treasury of the Demon Court doesn't hold their blood. The Thunder Dragon Race guards their scales and blood very cautiously."

Xu Qingyao stroked Lin Jing's arm and commented, "Your thin arms and legs, although they show signs of diligent training, are still too fragile, not to mention compared to those powerful-bodied demon beasts. Even after I reached Foundation Establishment and activated my half-demon bloodline, my body's strength surpassed yours."

"Although we Beast Taming Cultivators have 'Fusion' and 'Beast Transformation Artifact' secret techniques, our physical strength shouldn't be too lacking. Moreover, you have the Longevity Body, so you should avoid injuries even more..."

"Is it really that bad?" Lin Jing was speechless. But indeed, until now, he had only used Vajra Fist to train his body. Compared to those ancient country's body cultivator talents, it might be adequate, but in the eyes of someone as experienced as Senior Sister, it might indeed seem weak.

Primarily because he hadn't had much time to train his body previous ly.

He relied on the foundations of having reached the thirteenth level of Qi Cultivation and building Foundation Establishment...

"This isn't important. What's important is that with the scales and blood of the Thunder Dragon Race, your body's strength could improve rapidly. Not to say you'll be unparalleled, but you'd have the potential to achieve divine physical prowess."

"Preferably, obtain the core scale blood of the Thunder Dragon Ancestor... and remember to spare Senior Sister a drop..." Xu Qingyao patted Lin Jing's shoulder, smiling as she added, "It's up to you, Your Highness the Saint Son."

Lin Jing was speechless. Alright, to forge a stronger body, he'll give the Thunder Dragon Race another chance.

"Where is the residence of the Thunder Dragon Race? Senior Sister, come with me."

"Oh... and let's bring Mosquito Maiden as well, to let the Thunder Dragon Race witness the first demon tribe."
