There was only one Earth Fire Spirit Vein beneath Maple City. Although the grade of the Earth Fire Spirit Vein was mediocre, it was still Earth Fire, a type of spirit fire that was more powerful than common fire.
Spirit fire was required for pelletization.
The art of pelletization had a long history. During the ancient era of immortals, spirit energy was abundant. Cultivators didn't need pet beasts, they only needed their own bodies to be able to go to heaven and earth, control wind, rain, thunder, and the five elements. However, the era of immortals came to an end. With the depletion of spirit energy, it was difficult for cultivators to improve their physical bodies. There were only a handful of cultivators who managed to achieve energy training, let alone foundation building, core formation, and even nascent soul.
Those were things of legend, things that were unreachable in the distant past.
Now that it was the era of spirit beasts, cultivators could sign blood contracts with spirit beasts, control them, and raise their ranks. This was a remarkable feat. As the art of pelletization developed, it gradually became specialized for pet beasts to consume.
Behind the stone door was a natural cave. The deeper he went, the hotter it got until he saw a pool of lava flowing and flames surging.
This was the earth fire spirit vein.
No one had come here at this time so no one would disturb him. Lin Jin immediately took out the pellet furnace and began refining the six sun beast soul pill.
In fact, Lin Jin wasn't even familiar with pill brewing, let alone pelletization. Without the Museum of Deadly Beasts, he wouldn't even know how to use spirit energy to absorb earth fire.
But with the Museum of Deadly Beasts, that was no longer a problem.
"Xiao Huo, play by the side. Don't disturb me," Lin Jin instructed before following the museum's instructions to activate the pellet furnace.
Under the influence of spirit energy, the furnace floated over and hovered above the fire pool. In just a few moments, the furnace was glowing red.
Then, Lin Jin tossed in various herbs.
As expected of one of the spirit fires, earth fire was of decent quality and the pellet furnace Lu Xiaoyun had given him was of decent quality as well. The herbs immediately turned into colorful spirit energy that swirled within the furnace. It was a beautiful sight.
A moment later, Lin Jin followed the instructions and tossed in the last ingredient, the six sun grass.
With that, a dense fire spirit energy gushed out.
The six sun grass didn't melt immediately after entering the furnace. Lin Jin wasn't in a hurry because the museum clearly stated that in order to melt the six sun grass, he had to use the Firegathering Seal to gather the flames from the earth fire spirit vein and pour it into the furnace for refinement.
Hence, Lin Jin performed the Firegathering Seal with both hands.
At this moment, the cave shook slightly.
At the same time, outside the stone door, Elder Mo abruptly opened his eyes. His pet beast, the Fire Lizard, became agitated and growled.
"What's going on? Why is the Earth Fire Spirit Vein moving? " Elder Mo's expression shifted as he turned to his pet beast. The fire lizard let out a roar and stomped its foot on the ground. A wave of fire runes rippled outwards, reaching deep into the ground.
The strange movement disappeared.
Elder Mo heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he thought of something and muttered to himself, "Could it be that the legendary thing underground is moving? No, this is no small matter. I have to report it. "
Inside the stone door, beside the fire pond, Lin Jin was elated to see the six sun grass melting. All he had to do now was toss in the beast soul and cast the pellet condensation spell.
The beast soul was thrown into the cauldron together with the beast soul talisman. The talisman turned into ashes in an instant, leaving the beast soul shining with a soft light inside the cauldron. Slowly, the beast soul fused with the colorful air masses around it.
Moments later, Lin Jin invoked the pill condensation incantation. The fire spirit energy, medicinal energy, and beast soul in the furnace fused into one and a pill gradually appeared.
"It's done!"
Lin Jin immediately retrieved the cauldron, opened it, and took out the pill.
The six sun beast soul pill was finally in his hands.
"They say pelletization is difficult, but I don't think it's that hard!" Lin Jin bragged. He knew that the entire pelletization process was based on the museum's instructions. If he were to follow the instructions strictly, he would have to blame himself for being stupid if something went wrong again.
With the six sun beast soul pill in hand, he could give it to Xiao Huo when he got back. It should be enough for him to evolve.
After tidying up the cauldron, Lin Jin headed outside. Just then, someone entered the room.
This man was in his twenties and had a one-ring beast emblem on his sleeve. He was clearly an official beast appraiser. He had a haughty demeanor and looked down on everyone else. He walked past Lin Jin as if he didn't see him.
He was obviously here to absorb the fire spirit energy as well.
Lin Jin recognized this man. Just like him, he was an official beast appraiser of the association. His name was Gao Jiang.
However, since the man was ignoring him, there was no need for Lin Jin to be snubbed. So, Lin Jin lifted his head and walked past him.
Outside, Elder Mo wasn't around but the fire lizard was. This fire lizard was huge. Even when it was lying down, it was still half a man's height. Its body length, including its tail, was at least twenty feet long. A gentle bump from it could topple a house.
Majestic and domineering.
As Lin Jin passed by, he suddenly had an idea and stood still.
The Museum of Deadly Beasts had a reward system. If one recorded a certain number of beasts, they would be rewarded. In addition, recording rare beasts or higher-ranked pet beasts would also be rewarded.
Previously, he had recorded pet beasts with hidden bloodlines. If he reached a certain number, he would definitely receive other rewards.
Wasn't this an opportunity?
Elder Mo's pet beast was obviously extraordinary. It was at least Rank 3 and above. If he could record it in the Museum of Deadly Beasts, would he trigger a reward?
Once this idea popped up, Lin Jin couldn't suppress it.
Lin Jin knew that Elder Mo's absence was an opportunity. Otherwise, he wouldn't even stand a chance.
At this, he took a deep breath. Then, he gathered his courage and reached out to touch it.
'Don't move, don't move. You mustn't move!' Lin Jin grumbled. This fire lizard's head was the size of a millstone. Even when it was lying down, it still looked intimidating. Lin Jin was even more afraid that this beast would suddenly pounce and bite his hand off.
But the courageous would be stuffed to death while the cowardly would starve to death. In the end, Lin Jin pressed his hand on the fire lizard's head.
The beast's eyes immediately opened.
With flames burning in them, Lin Jin quickly retracted his hand. Lowering his head, he asked, "Why don't I see Elder Mo?"
Apprehension.
Fear.
Fortunately, the fire lizard didn't pursue the matter. It merely glared at Lin Jin before going back to sleep.
Lin Jin hurried out, his body drenched in cold sweat.
"Who would've thought this guy would actually reach Rank 3. Everyone says that the association's chief is the number one expert, but I think Elder Mo is the one. The other two elders' pet beasts might not be at this level either. A Rank 3 pet beast is indeed impressive."
Lin Jin didn't stop. Although this rash move was risky, the rewards were greater.
Because the fire lizard was the first Rank 3 pet beast Lin Jin came into contact with and it even had a unique bloodline. Now that strength was measured by pet beasts, Lin Jin's urge to level up Xiao Huo grew stronger.
Back home, Lin Jin locked the windows and took out the six sun beast soul pill he refined for Xiao Huo to consume. At the same time, he took out the fire spirit crystal and stuffed it into Xiao Huo's mouth.
On the stone tablet in the museum, it was written that by consuming the Six-sun Beast Soul Elixir and the Spiritual Crystal of Fire, one could achieve the perfect advancement method. As for what was special about the perfect advancement method, Lin Jin only knew a little about it from the stone tablet.
Perfect evolution could directly stabilize a pet beast's level. All other evolution methods had flaws, but perfect evolution was flawless.
In addition, perfect evolution had a certain chance of allowing the pet beast to evolve continuously, which was to say, to level up two times.
Of course, this depended on the quality of the six sun beast soul pill and fire spirit crystal.
After swallowing the pill, Xiao Huo reacted immediately.
A ball of flames burst out from his body.
Lin Jin took a few steps back to prevent the flames from burning him.
Then, the flames engulfed Xiao Huo. Lin Jin was worried that something might happen to Xiao Huo. Within the flames, Xiao Huo let out a low growl. Lin Jin could hear the crisp sound of his bones growing as his body continued to grow.
In addition, Xiao Huo's withered fur was reborn within the flames. It could even be said to be brand new.
