Nearly two-thirds of the entire Southern Border was controlled by the Wise King Road. The rest was divided between second-rate sects like the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and the Imperial Beast Sect. However, these sects had Yuanying cultivators overseeing them for the past two to three hundred years, so they weren't swallowed up by the Wise King Road for a while.
On the contrary, after the Wise King Road split into three factions a thousand years ago, they attacked and punished each other on the surface, but they secretly worked together. In this way, the entire Southern Border was in a stalemate for nearly seven to eight hundred years.
Four to five hundred li east of the Northern Market, there seemed to be a bewildering formation set up by someone. Originally, the mountains here were beautiful, but in recent days, fog had appeared in the valleys for no reason, shrouding the surrounding hundred li.
At this moment, Yi Tian was sitting cross-legged in the cave he had just carved out. In front of him were a few jade slips with the labels of the Imperial Beast Art, Myriad Spirit Herbs, and New Pill Refinement.
Originally, he had only started to refine pills halfway through. Fortunately, he had learned a little from others when he was young. Later on, he had obtained a few pill books and pill recipes in the Western Wilderness. The last time he had seriously refined pills was when he was in the early stages of the Jin Dan.
This time, he had a detailed pill recipe and a complete set of herbs. It wouldn't be a problem for him to refine a few pills. However, he estimated that the fat dog and the Scarlet Flame Stallion each needed two level-five spirit beast barrier breakthrough pills.
The Seven Star Flowers and Spirit Grass that he had collected had been sorted out. He could refine about ten pills. As for the poison, he hadn't extracted it yet.
In fact, he was still a little uncertain. This Jade Scorpion was the pet of the Sky High Monarch's descendant. To be honest, he had made a deeper feud with them. These demon kings were all very protective. If they found out, they wouldn't let it go.
However, the arrow had already been nocked. Since he had already offended them once, wouldn't it be the same if he did it a second time?
Taking out the Jade Scorpion's small iron cage, Yi Tian found that it was still lying there half-dead. It didn't show any signs of movement. If he hadn't used his Divine Sense to examine it, he would have thought that it was dead.
After reading the Imperial Beast Art, Yi Tian also understood that these Southern Border's poisonous demonic beasts were all extremely poisonous. The brighter the colors on their bodies, the more poisonous they were. Even after using the Enchanting Smoke, it wouldn't be able to stun them for long.
However, poisonous creatures usually had a weakness, which was that they were afraid of fire. Seeing this, Yi Tian smiled and stretched out his hands to form a seal in front of his chest. Then, blue flames emerged from his hands and wrapped around his hands.
Then, he opened the cage and reached out to grab the Jasper Scorpion. Suddenly, the scorpion opened its eyes and looked around. Then, it extended its scorpion tail and stung the pair of blue fire hands.
At this time, Yi Tian was not surprised, but happy. He had expected these variables, so he was fully prepared. After the scorpion tail stung the blue flames, it was immediately frozen. Then, ice condensed along its tail and froze its entire body.
After lifting the Jasper Scorpion with his left hand with its head facing up and tail facing down, he tapped the tail with his right hand. A drop of dark green spirit liquid slowly dripped from it and fell into a jade bottle that he had prepared beforehand.
An hour later, the jade bottle was filled with about a tael of venom. The Jade Scorpion also had a dejected look on its face as its entire body drooped down weakly.
Yi Tian didn't want to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. After releasing the poison, this Jasper Scorpion's level was obviously a little unstable. If it was downgraded to a fourth-grade demonic beast, the loss would definitely outweigh the gain. So, he directly put it back into the iron cage and removed the ice flame spell on it.
After feeding it, he used the Enchanting Smoke to smoke it according to the Imperial Beast Art. Then, he found a new Imperial Beast Pouch and placed it alone.
Looking at the ten sets of ingredients in front of him, Yi Tian smiled. Then, he took out a pill furnace and lit it to warm the furnace. After a quarter of an hour, the golden flames heated the pill furnace until it was red. Seeing that it was almost done, he pointed at the first set of ingredients with his right hand. Then, he used a telekinesis spell to place the ingredients into the furnace one by one and began refining.
When the entire cave was excavated, some effort was put in, so the sealing measures were not bad. Therefore, the smell of refining pills did not leak out. After a few days of trying and failing three times, Yi Tian was sitting cross-legged in the deepest part of the cave. He silently recalled the mistakes he made during the refining process and the flaws in his technique.
After the first three failures, the pills that were about to explode were thrown to the side. Fortunately, he had experience in refining pills, so he became more skillful with each attempt. Moreover, the pills were not burned. At the very least, the dregs that were placed there still emitted a burst of fragrance. It was not the usual foul smell of a ruined pill.
After pausing for a moment, Yi Tian could only open his eyes and look at the remaining seven portions. Then, he reached out his hand and rolled up three portions, placing them into the cauldron. With a point of his hand, he summoned a flame and began to refine the Spirit Beast Barrier Breaking Pill.
After summing up the reasons for his previous failures, he changed the recipe. The amount of ingredients needed to refine the pills was also reduced accordingly. Moreover, according to the recipe, it should not be difficult to refine the pills. Therefore, it was better to refine the pills according to the original recipe. However, when the pills were produced, it might work.
Not long after, the entire immortal cave began to emit bursts of fragrance. It was probably because his cultivation had increased, so Yi Tian was especially careful when controlling the pill fire. He was afraid that a single mistake would burn the entire cauldron of herbs.
Fortunately, this did not happen. After three hours, the fragrance from the pill furnace became stronger and stronger. Moreover, the spirit liquid inside began to boil under the heat of the flame. This was a sign that the refining of the pill liquid had been completed. Next was the most crucial step of refining the pill.
His right hand pointed at the jade bottle that contained the poison. Three drops of stinky green scorpion poison floated out and stopped above the pill furnace. Then, Yi Tian raised his left hand and the lid of the furnace was quickly lifted up. The three drops of poison accurately fell into the furnace.
After a quarter of an hour, the pill fragrance in the furnace disappeared. Yi Tian was delighted. This was a sign that the medicinal strength of the guiding herbs had been locked before the pill was formed. Without hesitation, he made a few Core Formation Seals in front of his chest. Soon after, the lid of the cauldron popped open with a bang, revealing the cauldron's interior. A total of three pills were placed inside.
Stretching out his hand, he took out the three pills and looked at them carefully. They were actually two middle grade pills and one high grade pill. This was much better than what he had expected. Calculating, Fat Dog should be able to directly advance to the fifth level after using a high grade pill. Now that he had four sets of ingredients, he only needed to produce one more high grade pill and it would be enough for the Flame Red Stallion.
With this experience, he believed that the next time he would be able to refine pills, the success rate would also increase.
