196: Chapter 196 Successful Alchemy
Su Lin immediately took out a pill furnace from his storage ring and ignited the alchemy fire beneath it.
He continuously threw materials into the pill furnace one by one, and finally, he threw the golden inner core in his hand inside as well, before closing the lid.
Following his first time crafting a magical treasure, Su Lin had unexpectedly begun his first time refining pills so quickly.
When he first crafted equipment, he had refined the Nine-Turn Charm Orb, a high-level magical treasure capable of threatening Heavenly King Level warriors.
And now, for his first time refining pills, what he was about to refine was likewise no ordinary object; it was a super rare, treasure-level pill—the ten thousand demon origin-returning pill!
The required materials were increasingly expensive, and the most valuable among them, the Dark Demon Xuanwu Clan inner core, was as difficult to obtain as ascending to heaven. Yet, Su Lin had obtained it only a few days after arriving at the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races.
Even Su Lin hadn't expected it to happen so quickly; it could only be said that he had planted a willow tree unintentionally, and it had grown into shade. Since the materials were complete, Su Lin did not hesitate and immediately began refining the pill.
At this moment, he was not far from the Lingyun Realm; his blood energy was already approaching 95,000, and he had opened 88 Divine Apertures.
As long as his blood energy reached 100,000, he could directly step into the Lingyun Realm.
However, Su Lin wanted to open a few more Divine Apertures before reaching the Lingyun Realm.
Breaking through the realm was one aspect, but there was another important reason for refining the ten thousand demon origin-returning pill at this time, and that was to resolve the demonic energy currently shrouding the entire city. The demonic mist formed by the eerie demonic energy was making Su Lin's human soldiers miserable.
"This is my first time refining pills; I don't know if I can succeed."
"For a pill of this level, even if you found an alchemy expert from the Divine Pill Academy, the success rate wouldn't be fifty percent."
However, Su Lin was not nervous at all; the more relaxed he was, the better he could perform. While controlling the flames of the pill furnace, he raised his hand and took out a cup of milk tea from a suddenly appearing golden space.
Su Lin quickly opened the milk tea and drank it down fiercely.
[You drank a cup of milk tea, your alchemy talent has increased by one hundred times.]
Su Lin did not stop at all, and quickly took out a second cup, a third cup of milk tea from the Milk Tea Space...
[You drank a cup of milk tea, your alchemy speed has increased by sixty percent.]
[You drank a cup of milk tea, your alchemy success rate has increased by eighty percent.]
Outside the main hall, the soldiers in Yanyun City had no idea what was happening inside.
At this moment, Yanyun City was filled with thick demonic mist and gusts of eerie wind; everyone was pale and shivering uncontrollably.
"Damn these demons! They won't even rest after they die!"
"This demonic energy is just trying to force us to leave Yanyun City. I, for one, insist on staying here. Yanyun City was something we fought so hard to take back!"
"That's right, even if I'm killed by this demonic energy, I will stay in Yanyun City!"
Although the human soldiers were pale, their eyes revealed a refusal to yield. However, under the constant erosion of the cold, eerie demonic energy, fear slowly began to emerge in everyone's hearts.
"Are we really going to die here?"
"Is there no one coming to save us?"
Just as despair welled up in the hearts of the human soldiers, a fierce wind suddenly blew through Yanyun City.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Everyone's pupils constricted as they saw the demonic energy shrouding the entire city suddenly swept up by the fierce wind, all surging toward the main hall in the center.
In an instant, the surroundings, where they couldn't even see their own hands, immediately became clear. When they saw the demonic mist being swept away like clouds by the wind and madly surging into the main hall, their hearts were filled with turbulent waves of shock.
"What is going on!? The demonic mist is all being sucked over there!?"
"That place! It's Officer Su! Did he do this!?"
"With so much demonic energy, is Officer Su okay..."
Everyone's scalps tingled as they watched the tsunami-like demonic mist surge into the main hall, and they immediately began to worry about Su Lin. Just being under the shroud of the demonic energy had already made them miserable and filled them with despair.
Su Lin was actually facing all the demonic energy by himself!?
It wasn't just the demonic energy in the air; even the demonic energy rolling out from the ground and various other places directly changed direction and was sucked straight into the main hall.
That place seemed to have turned into a giant maw, madly devouring the demonic energy here, with no intention of stopping at all.
Everyone was stunned; they couldn't imagine what method Su Lin had used to actually achieve this.
Looking at the gradually brightening Yanyun City, Dai Chenfeng's gaze toward the main hall was instantly filled with admiration. Su Lin had once again achieved the impossible.
"Officer Su, you are just too heaven-defying!"
At this crazy speed, all the demonic energy would be gone in no time.
No wonder Su Lin was so calm earlier; it turned out he still had a trump card hidden.
Dai Chenfeng took a deep breath, patted his face, immediately recovered, and urged the surrounding soldiers, who were equally stunned, to immediately return to their work.
The trouble from the demonic energy was greatly reduced, and everyone's faces gradually became rosy again. The discomfort vanished rapidly, and everyone worked quickly, resuming their tasks.
Dai Chenfeng also immediately finished his work and then went straight to the location of the teleportation array.
Inside the main hall, a drop of sweat ran down Su Lin's cheek, but there was no fatigue in his eyes; on the contrary, he was very excited.
The speed of refining the ten thousand demon origin-returning pill was too fast, perhaps because the demonic energy here was abundant, and Su Lin's refining methods were unexpectedly perfect.
In not much time, this treasure-level legendary pill would be out of the furnace.
The thick demonic energy that had originally filled the main hall to the point where it could drip water was rapidly becoming sparse. Ten minutes passed, and all the demonic energy had been absorbed into the pill furnace.
The lid of the pill furnace immediately exploded, and a strange black light instantly erupted from within it.
Whoosh!
A black shadow seemed to possess spirituality; the moment it rushed out of the pill furnace, it flew straight toward the outside of the main hall.
But Su Lin did not give it a chance at all; he directly flashed in front of it and caught it in his hand.
"Success!"
Su Lin said happily, looking at the black pill in his hand. The surface of the pill was carved with peculiar patterns, carrying a special sense of mystery, and it was still radiating a warm sensation.
Su Lin immediately landed back on the ground, sat cross-legged, drank a sip of milk tea, and without another word, swallowed the pill.
Unexpectedly, just as it entered his mouth, a majestic power from the pill erupted within his body with a boom.
Outside the main hall, there was no longer a trace of demonic energy in the entire Yanyun City. Looking at the sky that had cleared up again, joy instantly appeared on everyone's faces.
"Is it over?"
"Too amazing! How did Officer Su do it? He really solved all the demonic energy!"
"Hahaha, that's great! Now everything is fine!"
Just as everyone was relieved, the heavens and earth suddenly changed color. The originally clear sky immediately turned gray; this time it was not because of the coverage of demonic mist obscuring the sunlight.
Rather, the entire sky had turned gloomy. The whole process took only half a second. At the same time, thick dark clouds directly formed a huge cyclone, appearing above the main hall.
A wild thunderclap exploded, and the terrifying oppressive feeling of an impending storm immediately shrouded everyone's hearts.
"What is the situation now!?"
Everyone opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at the sky and the main hall.
