Chapter 3148: Slaying a Grand Prime (2)
Jian Chen refined pills as quickly as he could. Due to the many supplementary materials from the Xuanhuang Microcosm, not only had his success rate reached a hundred perfect, but the time taken for each cauldron had been drastically shortened too.
Refining like he had almost gone insane, he produced cauldron after cauldron of Dragon Intoxication pills.
Very soon, Jian Chen had completed twenty cauldrons.
However, he still showed no signs of stopping as if twenty cauldrons of Dragon Intoxication pills were still not enough.
“A cauldron of Dragon Intoxication pills can intoxicate the dragon turtle for nine seconds, but that doesn’t mean two cauldrons can intoxicate the dragon turtle for eighteen seconds, as the effects of Dragon Intoxication pills on a powerful Xuanhuang beast like the dragon turtle definitely cannot be calculated using simple addition.”
“A cauldron of pills can only intoxicate it for nine seconds. Two cauldrons, or maybe even three cauldrons combined, can only intoxicate it for the same nine seconds. It might not necessarily lengthen the time. It’ll only make it a little more intoxicated at most.”
“This is just like when regular people are drunk. It can be divided into being just tipsy and being completely inebriated.”
“If I keep that in mind, I’ll need ten cauldrons of Dragon Intoxication pills at the very least to increase the dragon turtle’s intoxication period to twelve seconds. I might even need more than that.”
“Fifteen seconds would be over a hundred cauldrons. Not only do I need fifteen seconds to fuse the swords this time, but I also need the dragon turtle to be deeply intoxicated. I cannot afford for it to wake up in the process after sensing danger.”
Jian Chen was determined inside. He continued to refine pills without any signs of stopping.
Very soon, he reached a hundred cauldrons. All of the pills were stacked carelessly in the surroundings like random trash.
Upon further thought, Jian Chen still found a hundred cauldrons to be not too reliable, so he continued refining pills.
The alchemy materials he possessed rapidly diminished. In the end, after refining the two hundred and eightieth cauldron of Dragon Intoxication pills, Jian Chen was forced to stop.
The several dozen litres of Xuanhuang spiritual fluid he had collected had been depleted. It was not just the Xuanhuang spiritual fluid. Even his other supplementary materials had almost run out.
The shortage of materials forced Jian Chen to give up on refining more Dragon Intoxication pills.
Not a single cauldron out of the two hundred and eighty had failed. Every single cauldron consisted of nine pills, so he had a total of over two thousand fiery-red, thumb-sized pills stacked there. The glowing light they gave off was extremely shocking. It was quite a sight.
All of the pills were God Tier pills. They were only of the lowest grade, but they were still God Tier pills.
In the end, Jian Chen merged these pills together through a special method, forming a colossal pill.
No, it could not be called a pill anymore. Perhaps calling it a sphere was a little more appropriate.
Merging all of the pills into a sphere could guarantee that the dragon turtle would eat all of them in a single gulp. Their effects would kick in instantly, reaching the greatest intensity.
With the pills refined, all that remained was finding a tool to deliver the pills, which was obviously even easier.
Before long, Jian Chen captured a few weaker Xuanhuang beasts in the surroundings. Due to his previous experience, it was smooth sailing this time. It did not take him much effort at all before he placed a Xuanhuang beast under his control.
With the Xuanhuang beast under his control, he arrived near the lake once again. He went with the same method as before. He placed the colossal sphere on the Xuanhuang beast before pulling far away from it and hiding away carefully elsewhere.
Under Jian Chen’s control, the Xuanhuang beast made its way towards the edge of the lake sluggishly and mechanically with the shining sphere on its back.
Perhaps because the smell from over two thousand pills merged together was heavier, or perhaps because the dragon turtle had developed a liking towards this pill after tasting it previously, the dragon turtle’s colossal head emerged with a great splash before the Xuanhuang beast had even managed to reach the edge of the lake. Its colossal eyes locked onto the huge Dragon Intoxication pill firmly.
Excitement and joy seemed to flash through its eyes.
Afterwards, it opened its mouth and extended its long tongue over the surface of the lake, gently licking the huge Dragon Intoxication pill.
It was extremely gentle with its movements as if it was afraid of destroying the pill from using the slightest bit of force.
Jian Chen, who had carefully hid himself elsewhere, became unprecedentedly nervous too, as he had stuck all the pills together in a very simple way. The colossal pill was not as sturdy as it seemed. He was also afraid the dragon turtle would scatter it accidentally.
Once the pills were all scattered, it obviously would not guarantee that the dragon turtle would eat it in a single gulp.
However, if the dragon turtle did not eat all the pills in a single gulp, then the effect would be nowhere near as great as he previously imagined.
The dragon turtle licked the sphere a few times gently before shutting its eyes slowly. Its face was enchanted and filled with enjoyment as if it was carefully savouring the delicious taste.
Jian Chen erased all of his presence without moving at all in the forest, observing every single movement from the dragon turtle with all of his attention.
Secretly, he was already ready to go. He had been building up strength all this time, ready to launch a startling attack at any time.
Under Jian Chen’s nervous gaze, the dragon turtle suddenly swallowed the colossal sphere formed from over two thousand Dragon Intoxication pills with a sweep of its tongue.
As soon as the sphere entered its mouth, a tremendous energy immediately erupted from the dragon turtle’s body. In the next moment, a feeling of ecstasy and intoxication countless times more powerful than last time overwhelmed its mind as extremely powerful mental stimulation. The dragon turtle immediately became lost, deeply submerged in the bliss.
The dragon turtle shut its eyes. Its colossal head swayed about above the lake before hitting the water with a thunk, filling the air with splashes.
Its head did not sink to the bottom of the lake. Instead, it floated on the surface unknowingly. It seemed like it was asleep.
Of course, it was not actually asleep. Its current state was more like being drunk. It was inebriated, and its mind had blurred. Its senses of the outside world had dropped to a minimum.
At this moment, surging sword Qi rushed through the surroundings. On the other side of the shore, two streaks of light rushed into the air from the forest, shining with the most resplendent light.
Jian Chen moved. He knew that time was extremely tight. As soon as the dragon turtle had collapsed, he began fusing the swords without any hesitation.
Even though the dragon turtle had swallowed over two thousand Dragon Intoxication pills in a single gulp, even Jian Chen was uncertain about how long it would be intoxicated for.
However, he dared not gamble on this.
As a result, as Jian Chen fused the twin swords, he basically used his full strength and seized every moment. He refused to waste even an instant.
The two strands of sword Qi from the twin swords hung under Jian Chen’s head before suddenly merging together under his control.
