I am Master Maoshan

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day, Liu Jun thought to himself. He didn't know whether he would have free time in the next period of time to help the miasma frogs refine the required pills, so he made a prompt decision and decided to start refining on the spot.

He took a deep breath, formed seals with his hands, and muttered something. The Ten Thousand Demons Cauldron seemed to respond to his call and expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it grew to a size of several dozen feet and stood tall in its place, like a small mountain, majestic and imposing.

Liu Jun nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand to summon the Phoenix Fire, and placed it under the Ten Thousand Demons Cauldron. The flames leaped and were extremely hot, instantly heating the bottom of the cauldron red.

At the same time, Liu Jun skillfully took out piles of medicinal herbs from his storage ring and threw them into the Ten Thousand Demons Cauldron without hesitation. The medicinal herbs drew beautiful arcs in the air, and after falling into the cauldron, they were immediately surrounded by blazing flames, making a "hissing" sound, accompanied by bursts of medicinal fragrance.

This action immediately attracted the attention of all the monsters around. Whether it was the blue beast or the miasma frogs, they all gathered around, with a look of curiosity and surprise on their faces.

They had lived in this remote swamp for a long time, and it was difficult to even see a person making pills, let alone something as rare as this. Therefore, Liu Jun's move was undoubtedly very attractive to them.

The Miasma Frog King widened his eyes, with shock and confusion written all over his face: "This... are you making pills?" There was a slight tremor in his voice, and he obviously found it unbelievable what was happening before his eyes.

"Yes, it's about refining the elixir." Seeing this, Xu Baoer on the side nodded affirmatively, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

Although she was still young and only a doctor, and did not know how to make alchemy, she was quite interested in the art of alchemy. Seeing Liu Jun making alchemy on such a grand scale, she was naturally excited.

When the Miasma Frog King heard this, he showed an expression of "I am not well educated, don't lie to me" on his face. After all, he had seen other frogs making pills a few times, and he had some understanding of the basic process of making pills. However, compared with Liu Jun's current process of making pills, the alchemy scenes he had seen before were simply child's play.

Liu Jun was very skilled in controlling the flames and herbs, as if he was performing a delicate dance. The placement of each herb and the adjustment of the flames were all done just right, without any error.

The Miasma Frog King was stunned, and could not help but feel a deep respect for Liu Jun's alchemy skills. The surrounding monsters were also deeply attracted by this scene, and they all held their breath and stared, afraid of missing any details.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Jun's alchemy finally came to an end. As the last wisp of flame died out, a strong medicinal fragrance instantly spread, as if even the air had become fresh and full of vitality.

"Um, is there a larger container for storing pills?" Liu Jun looked at the Miasma Frog King standing beside him, his voice filled with a hint of fatigue but unconcealable joy.

"Ah? Yes!" The miasma frog king finally came back to his senses from the shock. He never thought that Liu Jun could actually successfully refine the elixir. He hurriedly ordered his miasma frogs to fetch a few large boxes. These boxes were exquisitely crafted, with complex runes engraved on the surface, flashing a faint light. Obviously, they were not ordinary items, but rather valuable things.

Liu Jun glanced at the boxes. Although he was curious about how these miasma frogs got such good boxes, he was more concerned about how to properly preserve these pills. He was too lazy to delve into it, so he just waved his hand slightly and opened the Ten Thousand Demon Cauldron beside him.

As the Ten Thousand Demons Cauldron was opened, a stronger medicinal fragrance came to the nose, which lifted people's spirits. Liu Jun's fingers flew and he cast a few spells. The pills in the Ten Thousand Demons Cauldron seemed to be pulled by some force and flew out one after another. They were arranged in rows in an orderly manner in the air, like bright stars.

The Miasma Frog King and his men were stunned. They had never seen such a magical scene. Not only were there a large number of pills, but each one also emitted a faint light, as if it contained endless power.

Liu Jun nodded in satisfaction. He waved his hand and the pills fell into the boxes that had been prepared long ago as if they were summoned. Each box was filled to the brim, yet still looked orderly without any clutter.

"Okay, prepare the next furnace. I will refine some other pills for you. They are all beneficial to monsters." Liu Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the Miasma Frog King who was waiting beside him eagerly.

The Ten Thousand Demons Cauldron was emitting a bright light at this moment, and the strange patterns carved on the furnace seemed to come alive, looming in the mist of elixir energy.

When the Miasma Frog King heard this, his huge frog head nodded repeatedly, and his green eyes flashed with excitement that was difficult to conceal. His rough frog paws rubbed unconsciously, and a "gurgling" sound came out of his throat.

As the overlord of the Blackwater Swamp, it has lived for nearly a thousand years, but it has never imagined that one day it would be able to witness with its own eyes a human alchemy master refining elixirs specifically for them, the monster beast, and to refine so many of them. It was like a dream.

"This is really..." The voice of the Miasma Frog King trembled a little. It tried hard to recall the human honorifics it heard from the passing caravan, "It's an honor! We, the Miasma Frog Clan, will definitely remember your great kindness! If we can't repay you, we will repay you with our bodies."

"Well, there are some human words that you shouldn't use carelessly," Liu Jun said with a twitch in the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand quickly.

Such a big toad tells you that it wants to repay you with its body. How can this be called repaying a favor? This is typical revenge.

Liu Jun took out a few more spiritual herbs emitting colorful rays of light from the storage space. These were rare medicinal herbs that could only be found in that special environment. He usually carefully collected them, but now he gave them all away without hesitation.

"You're welcome." Liu Jun flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of phoenix fire jumped into the bottom of the furnace. "I see that the demonic power in your body is mottled, which must be caused by absorbing the poisonous miasma of the swamp for many years. The 'Qingling Huadu Pill' refined this time can just help you sort out your meridians."

The Miasma Frog King heard this and his huge body trembled slightly. How could it not know the hidden dangers of its people's practice? It was just that the body of the monster beast could not dissolve these deposited toxins by itself. It didn't expect that this magical human could see through their crux at a glance.

The alchemy lasted for a whole day. Above the Black Water Swamp, the poisonous miasma that had been lingering all year round was gradually replaced by five-colored alchemy clouds. With Liu Jun's location as the center, the pure spiritual energy formed a vortex visible to the naked eye, attracting various magical creatures in the swamp to appear one after another.

A silvery-white swamp python poked its head out of the mud, its tongue trembling slightly as it caught the scent of elixir floating in the air; several catfish with colorful scales leaped out of the water, drawing gorgeous arcs in the sunlight; even the thousand-year-old deep-water turtle that usually lived in seclusion slowly crawled out of the cave, raised its head and took a deep breath.

What was amazing was that these natural enemies, who would have fought to the death upon meeting in the past, were surprisingly harmonious at this moment. They tacitly kept a safe distance, each found a suitable position, and began to absorb and exhale this rare pure spiritual energy.

The miasma frogs naturally occupied the position closest to the alchemy furnace. A small miasma frog cub suddenly trembled all over, and the poison sac on its back made a light "pop" sound. In full view of everyone, it shed a layer of gray-black old skin, revealing the emerald-like new skin underneath - it broke through!
One after another, breakthroughs occurred among the frogs. An old miasma frog elder howled to the sky, and a dark green poisonous gas spurted out of his mouth. The gas continued to purify in the air, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated; the bodies of several middle-aged miasma frogs expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their swollen vocal sacs made thunderous "quack" sounds, shaking the nearby water surface and causing ripples.

The miasma frog king was overwhelmed by the sight. It quietly used its demonic power to look inside and found that the poison spots deposited on the demon pill had faded by three points! This discovery made it so excited that it almost jumped up. You know, these toxins have troubled it for hundreds of years, and every time it strives to reach a higher level, it becomes a serious problem.

As the sun set, Liu Jun finally put away the fire. In the dozens of large boxes in front of him, hundreds of longan-sized pills were neatly stacked, each of which exuded a refreshing fragrance that made people feel relaxed and happy.

"These should be enough for you to use for a while." Liu Jun handed a few more jade bottles to the Miasma Frog King. Seeing the other party holding the bottles carefully with his frog paw, he couldn't help but smile. "This can only be eaten by those who are above the half-step God King realm. Take one pill every month. Within three years, the chronic illness in your body should be cleared up."

The miasma frog king suddenly landed on his front legs, performing the most solemn ceremony among all the monsters. The tribesmen behind him followed suit, and in an instant, a group of green frogs knelt on the reef.

"We will never forget your kindness in giving us a new life!" The miasma frog king choked with sobs, "From now on, the Blackwater Swamp is your home! If you send us anywhere, we will do whatever it takes!"

Liu Jun was about to speak when he suddenly raised his eyebrows and turned to look into the depths of the swamp. There, a subtle and powerful demonic aura was slowly awakening, as if it had been startled by the alchemy event. The aura was like an ancient sword that had been sleeping for a thousand years suddenly coming out of its sheath, with a frightening edge. Even the poisonous miasma that had been lingering in the swamp for years was pushed away by the invisible force, forming a spiral vacuum channel.

"It's Kuiniu." The bulging frog eyes of the Miasma Frog King shrank slightly, and fine mucus oozed out of the surface of his rough skin - this was his unique physiological reaction when he was nervous.

As the king who had ruled the Blackwater Swamp for eight hundred years, at this moment his broad webbed paws unconsciously dug into the humus soil.

Although he is the undisputed king of the Black Water Swamp, that is mainly because of his strong strength and large number of tribesmen. Deep in this deadly wetland, there are still several ancient beings that even he has to give way to. Among them, this Kui Niu, which has survived since the prehistoric times, has to give way to the Poison Dragon King at the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm at the bottom of the swamp.

Although Kui Niu is not violent, bloodthirsty, and likes to sleep, it does not mean that it is weak. A thousand years ago, a group of strong men formed to hunt it. As a result, twelve strong men in the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm were struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that suddenly descended from the sky above the swamp and their souls were scattered.

The Kui Niu in the Blackwater Swamp was at the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm. With its terrifying defense and its own lightning field, no one dared to provoke it. At this moment, the sign of its awakening had caused a change in the world - dark clouds gathered over the swamp at an unreasonable speed, and what was moving in the clouds was not ordinary lightning, but purple lightning patterns containing the laws of the avenue.

With the sound of footsteps that shook the earth, the figure of Kui Niu finally penetrated the poisonous miasma and appeared in front of everyone. It looked like a wild bull carved from jade, but it had a single foot that was contrary to common sense. Every step it took caused a ring of lightning on the surface of the swamp. Its head without horns made it look even more ferocious. Its copper-bell-like eyes were dancing with lightning like a thunderbolt. Under its pale green fur, the mysterious innate Dao patterns could be vaguely seen. The most frightening thing was that within a three-meter radius around it, the air was distorted by the high-voltage current and had a ripple effect.

Liu Jun's pupils suddenly contracted. He saw that the withered poisonous grass under Kuiniu's feet suddenly came to life in the lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it bloomed into strange purple lightning flowers. (End of this chapter)
