Three days later, Su Zimo finally refined a cauldron of Spirit Gathering Elixirs and there was a perfect elixir with five elixir patterns!
Su Zimo placed the perfect Spirit Gathering Elixir into a jade bottle and kept it in his storage bag.
For the past three days, little crane was trapped by the Smoke Gathering Formation and could not escape at all. After crying for three days and three nights, its throat was hoarse as it sprawled on the ground, looking at Su Zimo pitifully.
Su Zimo arrived outside the Smoke Gathering Formation and looked at little crane with a fake smile, asking, "Silly bird, do you know what's good for you now?"
Little crane nodded hurriedly, giving off a look of submission.
Su Zimo was unmoved.
That silly bird had an extremely high status and had probably never been wronged in the sect before – how could it submit just like that?
If Su Zimo were to let it go, that silly bird might return and cause an even greater ruckus!
"Stay here for three months. I'll naturally let you go after the five peaks face-off at the end of the year," Su Zimo said indifferently.
"Caw, caw!"
Little crane turned hostile immediately and cried loudly at Su Zimo, as though it was threatening something.
Su Zimo scoffed coldly and ignored it, leaving his cave abode on his sword and speeding towards Elixir Peak.
If one wanted to be number one of Elixir Peak, it was not enough to just refine Spirit Gathering Elixirs.
The most difficult part of weapon refinement was spirit gathering.
The most difficult part of alchemy was the understanding of the vast, complex, and endless variety of spirit herbs.
A qualified Elementary Elixir Refinement Master should be able to differentiate the temperature of the spirit herbs used to refine Grade 1 elixirs, as well as the attributes of the various spirit herbs.
If one was not familiar with those things and did not know all the spirit herbs in a formula given by someone else, how could they refine elixirs?
Even more incredible Elixir Refinement Masters could rely on their imagination and creativity to break the rules of the formula and refine a brand new elixir according to their own proportions.
Of course, all of that was still too far away for Su Zimo.
The reason why Su Zimo headed to Elixir Peak this time round was to exchange for a manual on Grade 1 spirit herbs to memorize. After that, he would exchange for some elixir recipes and herbs to continue refining elixirs.
Not long after, Su Zimo returned to the cave residence.
For the next few days, Su Zimo cultivated while refining elixirs in his cave abode.
Little crane was trapped in the formation and had nothing to eat. It had lost an entire size and looked even more pitiful.
Linghu could not bear to see it like that. Whenever he went out to look for food, he would bring some back for little crane and even chat with it occasionally.
During this period of time, the relationship between the tiger and the crane had become much more harmonious.
However, the way little crane looked at Su Zimo was still filled with resentment and refused to give in.
Su Zimo couldn't be bothered to respond.
On this day, Su Zimo refined another cauldron of pills. Among them, there were two four-patterned supreme grade pills, and the rest were all three-patterned high grade pills.
Su Zimo was about to put away those pills when his heart skipped a beat.
He would not consume those pills himself. However, they contained the essence of spirit herbs after all. If he gave them to spirit beasts, would they have an effect and raise their cultivation realm rapidly as well?
At that thought, Su Zimo handed over the pills that gave off a faint medicinal fragrance to Linghu and was about to ask.
Linghu wagged its tail with a fawning expression. The moment it opened its mouth, saliva flowed out …
Alright, that saved him the trouble of asking.
"Look at that useless face of yours!"
Su Zimo scolded jokingly and tossed the pills that he had just refined over casually.
Linghu leaped up and opened its mouth to catch one of the pills. It munched on it and swallowed it with a look of enjoyment.
Little crane who was trapped in the formation was dumbfounded when it saw that.
"That works too?"
Little crane was dumbfounded.
It had eaten elixirs in the past as well. However, even though its mother was a Mystical Guardian Beast, the elixirs it consumed were at best middle-grade.
Little crane had never seen someone like Su Zimo who fed superior-grade elixirs to a dog so casually!
When little crane saw Linghu's fawning behavior earlier on, it shook its head and wagged its tail – it was no different from a dog.
Little crane took a closer look – there were even supreme-grade elixirs inside!
It was too extravagant!
It was too wasteful!
It was too exciting!
It was too sinful!
"But I like it!"
Little crane jumped up from the ground excitedly and blinked at the Spirit Tiger, raising its head repeatedly to signal to it.
In the cultivation world, there were many cultivators who reared spirit beasts. However, there were very few who were willing to feed them elixirs, let alone superior-grade and supreme-grade ones.
Even cultivators could not bear to consume elixirs of such quality, let alone feed them to spirit beasts.
For the past few days, little crane felt that it was getting along well with Linghu and wanted Linghu to share some of the elixirs with it.
Linghu glared at little crane and hesitated for a long time before picking up the worst quality elixir from the ground and tossing it into the Smoke Gathering Formation.
Little crane was fuming but there was nothing it could do.
Linghu scampered back and swiped on the ground, protecting the remaining elixirs in front of him.
By the looks of it, Linghu would fight to the death with anyone who dared to touch those elixirs!
Su Zimo shook his head and chuckled. Retrieving a few more jade bottles from his storage bag, he poured out the elixirs inside and placed them in front of Linghu.
Most of them were superior-grade three-patterned elixirs with a small number of supreme-grade four-patterned ones. Even the worst quality elixirs were middle-grade elixirs!
Su Zimo said, "These are all for you. Hurry and raise your cultivation realm."
Linghu was dazzled by the sight.
"Happiness came too suddenly. I've finally made it to spring!" Linghu dove into the pile of elixirs and almost fainted from the medicinal fragrance.
Little crane was getting increasingly anxious and chirped non-stop. However, its voice could not be heard.
"How can you finish so many elixirs? Share some with me!"
A moment later, Linghu finally snapped out of his stupor and swallowed a few more elixirs before sprawling on the ground and snoring.
Every single spirit beast was born with the innate ability to cultivate. However, some spirit beasts with strong bloodlines had inherited memories and cultivation techniques were naturally stronger.
Linghu only had an ordinary bloodline and the cultivation technique he cultivated could not compare to the Marrow Cleansing section, let alone the entire Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness.
Su Zimo had once thought of imparting the Marrow Cleansing section to Linghu so that the latter could become stronger.
However, Die Yue had warned him not to impart this cultivation technique to anyone else and Su Zimo could only give up on that thought.
When little crane saw that no one was paying attention to it, it felt aggrieved and could only pick up the elixir that Linghu had just handed over and swallow it before starting to cultivate as well.
Within a few days, the tiger and crane had finished all the elixirs.
Little crane's cultivation realm had increased. After all, it was at the spirit demon realm and had eaten few elixirs so the increase was not obvious.
However, Linghu's aura was clearly more ferocious. His gaze was cold and his fur turned golden, standing up like golden needles that shone with a cold glint.
At this rate, Linghu would be able to grow into a Foundation Establishment spirit demon before long!
After consuming the elixirs, Linghu and little crane were still yearning for more. The two spirit beasts looked at Su Zimo every day, waiting for him to refine elixirs.
By then, Su Zimo had finished exchanging for spirit herbs as well.
He no longer had any contribution points on him. If he were to head to Elixir Peak to exchange for more spirit herbs, he would have to use spirit stones.
As for spirit stones, Su Zimo had to keep them to raise his cultivation realm.
Looking at the expectant gazes of the two spirit beasts, Su Zimo shrugged and shook his head. "No more elixirs, no more elixirs."
He was thunderstruck!
That news was way too much of a blow for the tiger and crane.
They were already addicted to the elixirs and had yet to have their fill. Now, he was not going to refine elixirs …
