An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 13 Refining Medicine in the Stomach
In the Forest of Oaths, it was another bright morning. The first rays of sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, like gentle fingers, awakening the sleeping caterpillars.

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, and this hardworking green caterpillar is reveling in nature's bounty.

In its view, the finest ingredients often require only the simplest cooking; the leftover fruit covered in morning dew is nature's most generous gift...

Snapped!
Without warning, a strong, sturdy foot struck it like lightning. The caterpillar looked up and saw a huge, orange-red bald head staring down at it like an ancient dragon!

Seeing the opponent's powerful forepaws, as strong as a Tyrannosaurus Rex, it knew that its ordinary and short insect life had come to an end...

Snapped--

A scalding hot, large vagina.

The caterpillar's body traced a graceful arc in the air, tumbling three and a half times before landing in a pile of bushes with a textbook-perfect dive, releasing a fragrant aroma...

Through tireless practice, Xiao Huolong has become increasingly proficient in using his fire claws, bringing out the full potential of their intense heat.

This Fire Claw move has both Fighting and Fire attributes. With this special move, it's no problem to beat up a low-level Pokémon like Caterpie, which is at the bottom of the food chain.

After winning the battle, Xiao Huolong carefully picked his own victory and threw it into the basket on his back.

After a morning of hard work, Xiao Huolong had collected a full basket of tree fruits.

It ceremoniously arranged the tree fruits in the basket in front of it. At this moment, with a solemn expression, it slowly took out a few fruits and put them into its mouth.

Without chewing slowly and savoring its tempting flavor, Xiao Huolong swallowed the whole bunch of fruit in one gulp, down to his stomach.

Xiao Huolong immediately closed his eyes, his face solemn, and focused intently on gathering the fire-type battle qi in his dantian!

The fiery battle aura, brimming with intense power, flowed around Ling Yuguo like nimble fire snakes, slowly enveloping him.

Under Xiao Huolong's precise control, the moisture and impurities inside the fruit were quickly removed by the fire-based fighting spirit, turning into wisps of white smoke that spewed out from its nostrils.

This seemingly stomach-strengthening and digestive-aiding behavior has a fancy name in Xiao Huolong's mind—medicine refining.

That's right, this guy is making medicine.

However, it is clear that it did not use the cauldron, an indispensable tool in ancient medicine refining, as the tool for refining medicine.

According to Elder Chi, a low-ranking alchemist like him, who couldn't even project his battle aura, was not qualified to use a medicine cauldron to refine medicine.

[Hmph, what kind of medicine cauldron do you want, brat? It's not that I can't provide good ones, but you can't even release your battle qi right now. Even if I gave you a medicine cauldron, you'd only be able to stare at it helplessly. Right now, your belly is the best medicine cauldron!]

After being instructed by this master alchemist, Xiao Huolong suddenly realized the secret and mastered this unique skill—refining medicine in his abdomen.

This unique skill allows for the immediate processing and digestion of food, regardless of where it was prepared. Its main feature is the ability to process food directly from its original pot.

Although he received much guidance from Elder Chi, successfully refining this Qi-boosting powder was not a simple task.

The fiery fighting spirit within his body was like a wild horse running rampant beside the tree fruit.

"Cough cough cough..."

Choked by the smoke, Xiao Huolong exhaled a mouthful of burnt smoke, and the furnace exploded on the spot due to a loss of control over the firepower.

This was the umpteenth time he had failed; clearly, embarking on the path of alchemy was by no means an easy task.

Given Xiao Huolong's dull-witted nature as a lizard, he would have struggled to even begin practicing alchemy, no matter how long he tried.

Fortunately, Xiao Huolong had guidance from Elder Chi.

In its mind, the spiritual imprint left by Elder Chi always corrected its way of circulating battle qi at crucial moments, like a guiding light, enabling it to make progress every time.

With the guidance of such a master craftsman, even a piece of rotten wood can be carved.

After several failed attempts, Xiao Huolong finally gradually mastered the technique.

Gradually, it began to be able to guide the flow of fire energy, taming these unruly horses through its own spiritual power.

Under the slow refinement of the fire-based fighting spirit, a ball of blue medicinal essence was extracted from the Zero Fruit.

It's now!

Xiao Huolong immediately opened his mouth and swallowed the two juicy halves of the fruit whole.

Immediately, the fire-based battle aura acted like a pair of skillful hands, quickly enveloping these plant essence extracts, slowly evaporating the impurities within, and condensing them into a perfectly round pill.

At this moment, Xiao Huolong's Burning Technique was only at the lower level of the Yellow Rank, and his internal fighting spirit reserves were extremely weak.

The fire-based battle qi within his body had been almost completely depleted during the process of refining the pill. As the pill gradually took shape, Xiao Huolong knew that whether he could successfully refine the Battle Qi Powder today depended on this one gamble!

Using qi as a guide, transforming fire into a cauldron, then collect!
As the fiery fighting spirit within his abdomen suddenly gathered, a pale blue pill with quenching patterns on its surface was formed.

Become!

The moment the pill was completed, Xiao Huolong felt a surge of powerful energy flowing continuously from the pill in his abdomen into his limbs and bones.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Huolong immediately activated the Burning Technique, guiding the abundant essence flowing continuously from his body.

In an instant, the battle qi within his body, which had been depleted due to refining pills, was instantly replenished and became stronger and more powerful than ever before, like a flash flood suddenly erupting from a dried-up riverbed.

Taking drugs feels great!

As the pills were refined, the fighting spirit within Xiao Huolong's body continued to grow stronger, gradually transforming from a trickle into a mighty river.

After successfully refining and absorbing the Qi-enhancing powder in his abdomen, Xiao Huolong opened his blood-red maw and let out an extremely pleasant roar.

"Hey!!!"

As the surrounding aura suddenly trembled, invisible ripples seemed to spread through the air, and Xiao Huolong's fighting spirit broke through the sixth level on the spot, reaching the seventh level!

At this moment, the fighting spirit stimulated by the Qi-boosting powder is surging wildly within Xiao Huolong's body, like a thousand horses galloping, impacting his muscles, bones, and meridians, making his body even stronger than before.

It immediately felt its power surge, increase, and explode, becoming more powerful than ever before!
Feeling the immense power of the battle qi, Xiao Huolong was overjoyed. He felt his whole body was filled with power and he had a sense of reaping the joy of a bountiful harvest!

When Xiao Huolong stood up, he was a size taller and stronger than before, and his physique was clearly more robust than that of an ordinary small fire dragon.

This is the special effect of the internal fighting spirit in the fighting spirit stage, which strengthens muscles and bones.

The stronger the fighting spirit within the body, the stronger the body will become in return.

What surprised Xiao Huolong even more was that he could clearly feel that after successfully refining the Qi-enhancing powder, he was now able to control his internal fighting qi at will!

Controlling the internal firepower to refine medicine greatly benefits its ability to circulate battle qi.

Now, the fire claws it wields by manipulating fire-based fighting spirit are even more powerful than before, and the entire realm of fire claws has taken a final step, entering a new stage.

"Has the Fire Claw skill reached the [Proficient] level? And the Battle Qi has reached the seventh level, very good!"

Seeing Xiao Huolong's rapid improvement in strength, Mo Zhen also showed a gratified smile, thinking that he was a promising young man.

Upon seeing this, Xiaomengzi immediately offered fresh flattery.

[This is all thanks to your excellent training, sir! With your guidance, even a pig could take flight! However, I just used up two units of level one pure goods, and my inventory is a bit low now. When can we get some more stock...?]

Clearly, Xiao Huolong's ability to ascend to immortality through his extravagant displays of food required not only his own efforts but also a magical catalyst to unleash his inner potential.

And dream energy is the crucial catalyst for this.

The purer the ingredients used in the dream theater, and the larger the quantity used, the stronger the catalytic effect will be.

To put it bluntly, Mo Zhen's acting is responsible for deceiving the elf's mind, while Mengzi's acting is responsible for deceiving the elf's body.

These two together are like beef stew with potatoes; Snow Leopard and Ding Zhen, the best match, the perfect partners!
Mo Zhen had a general understanding of the matter and waved his hand leisurely.

"What's the rush? Sharpening your axe before chopping wood is a waste of time. We need to strengthen our own capabilities first before we can grow bigger and stronger and create new glories! This place, United, is full of suppliers. I'll find a few heavyweights later and let you suck up to your heart's content!"

With Mo Zhen's assurance, Xiao Mengzi immediately beamed with joy.

【Oh—my dear Lord Mo Zhen, I am relieved to hear your words! From this day forward, your most loyal Mengzi will serve you faithfully and at your service!】

The master and servant smiled at each other, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Just as things were getting along well, the unexpected happened.

The surrounding grass rustled as a swarm of strong, wiry insects burst forth!
The leading Pokémon was none other than the Caterpie that Xiao Huolong had previously beaten up with a single claw.

However, it now had several charred wounds on its body, and its eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

At this moment, Mo Zhen and Xiao Mengzi looked at each other, seemingly understanding something...

After the young one was beaten, the old one came.

A classic scene, you can't miss it!
