Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 141 Fox Blood Pill

Since discovering that purified medicinal liquid could be used to make pills with higher yields, Jerry began researching purification techniques.

Jerry named the pill he was currently using the Fox Blood Pill, which was meant to enhance the fox's bloodline; in fact, it would be more accurate to call it a concentrated pill.

Jerry tried other medicinal liquids using this method, such as the recovery liquid obtained by Chrysanthemum Douluo from extracting plants, but the result was not what Jerry wanted. The liquid did not condense into a pill, but evaporated directly.

Jerry noticed that each type of pill required a different temperature, so he could only try them one by one.

When it came to purification, Jerry also thought of distillation, since he had previously used distillation to increase the concentration of the liquor.

However, this method doesn't work for medicinal liquids. The part of the liquid containing the medicinal properties has a relatively high boiling point, so the final product is a basin of distilled water, while the medicinal liquid and impurities in the pot are still mixed together. It seems that the only solution is to upgrade the filtration system.

Previously, the filter device was made on the spot. This time, Jerry directly ground the charcoal into powder, and carefully selected the coarse sand, fine sand, cotton, and gauze. In the end, he made a filter device with more than a dozen layers.

We made twenty of these filter devices; our technology was limited, so we relied on quantity to win.

Thanks to this filtration system, the initially reddish-brown liquid was eventually filtered into a transparent liquid.

The next step is to reduce the liquid in these clear liquids to obtain a thicker liquid.

Finally, these thick medicinal liquids were placed into the alchemy furnace and slowly heated and baked.

This time, the surface of the liquid did not burn. Instead, it slowly began to crystallize. As the temperature rose, the crystals melted. Finally, Jerry used his divine sense to divide them into ten small pills of the same size. Then, he slowly cooled them down, eventually obtaining ten pills the size of marbles.

This time, the pills were significantly better than before. They looked crystal clear and reflected a colorful light when held up to the sun. It would be more accurate to call them marbles than pills.

Jerry felt that the pill was now completely composed of energy, without seeing any impurities.

I checked the efficacy of the medicine, and it was ten times more effective.

Then Jerry brought over the little white fox. Instead of feeding it a whole pill, he cut it in half and fed it to the little white fox. The little white fox seemed very happy after eating the pill.

Jerry checked and, sure enough, the pill entered the little white fox's body without any frenzy and was absorbed very quickly, so he was relieved. He then fed the little white fox the other half as well.

The little white fox cried out happily, sensing that this thing was good for it.

It seems that this method makes the pill easier to absorb, and Jerry then adjusted the ratio of the liquid based on this method.

They eventually refined a fox blood pill with one-fold efficacy, and later researched and developed pills with two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine times the efficacy.

Nine three-tailed foxes were found outside, and each was given one to nine times the dose of the elixir.

There were no unexpected incidents, except for three foxes that had consumed seven, eight, or nine times the dose of the elixir, which had difficulty absorbing the nutrients and took a relatively long time. Otherwise, there were no other unexpected incidents.

Afterwards, Jerry began experimenting with the effects of adding different numbers of fox blood tails on the pills. One-tailed fox blood had the highest effect of 1x, two-tailed fox blood had the highest effect of 4x, three-tailed fox blood had the highest effect of 10x, four-tailed fox blood was unknown, five-tailed fox blood had the highest effect of 22x, six-tailed fox blood had the highest effect of 31x, seven-tailed fox blood was unknown, and eight-tailed fox blood was unknown.

Jerry originally planned to try refining the Nine-Tailed Fox using Hu Liena's blood, but the calculated multiplier was too high, so he decided not to waste it now since he didn't need it.

Jerry gave a portion of Fox Blood Pills to a Soul Master with a Three-Tailed Fox Martial Soul. The Soul Master experienced no adverse reactions after taking the pills and absorbed them easily.

Jerry then gave the Soul Master two or three times the amount of Fox Blood Pills, and there were no abnormalities.

Finally, when taking the Fourfold Fox Blood Pill, the Soul Master's absorption was not so smooth. It took three hours to absorb one pill completely. It seems that the human body is indeed much weaker than that of a Soul Beast.

Although I absorbed the nutrients for three hours, the effect was much better than before, and my cultivation level even improved slightly.

Then, ten more Soul Masters were arranged to absorb the pills, and there were no problems.

It's time to use them in large quantities. Summon the previous hundred Soul Masters and two elders, and have them begin absorbing the appropriate pills for themselves.

Jerry also didn't forget Yu Shu, the Minister of Education. Her martial spirit was a six-tailed fire fox, and she had too many things to do in education to have time for.

However, after Jerry made the arrangements himself this time, it saved her a lot of time, and she was also arranged to come and train with Jerry.

As expected of the Six-Tailed Fire Fox Martial Soul, it can directly absorb thirty-one times the amount of Fox Blood Pill refined from the blood of the Six-Tailed Fox, and this multiple has not yet reached its limit.

After settling things at the Spirit Hall, Jerry returned to the Spirit Beast Forest and threw himself into alchemy.

After all, only Jerry can refine pills right now. Although the process of refining pills is not complicated, as long as one's mental power can control objects, one can refine pills. However, he has not taught it to others yet, mainly because those whose mental power has reached the standard are all busy with other things.

During this period, as Jerry fed it pills, a three-tailed fox finally began to evolve. The process was quick, and it evolved into a four-tailed fox.

Finally, a four-tailed fox has appeared. Looking back, it has been more than half a year since we started breeding foxes, and only one four-tailed fox has appeared. It is not easy. Even human soul masters do not take this long to evolve their martial souls to four tails.

Jerry then extracted some of the four-tailed fox's blood to refine fox blood pills, which could produce up to fifteen times the effect.

This also supplements Jerry's research data; otherwise, the data on the Four-Tails would have been missing for so long, and although Jerry doesn't have OCD, it would still be uncomfortable to look at.

Research on the Fox Blood Pill can only go this far for now; it's still unknown when a seven- or eight-tailed fox can be cultivated.

However, this time, the successful creation of the Fox Blood Pill greatly enhanced Jerry's understanding of alchemy.

Jerry decided to try and refine a pill that could enhance cultivation, since the Fox Blood Pill only improved bloodline and could only be taken by Soul Masters with a fox spirit—too many restrictions. If he could refine a pill that everyone could take to enhance their cultivation, it would be a significant contribution to human society as a whole.

If you're refining pills to enhance your cultivation, you definitely can't add soul beast blood anymore; you can only use herbs.

The plant encyclopedia that Master Chrysanthemum Douluo gave to Jerry before recorded many plants with medicinal effects, but it did not record the more detailed medicinal effects. Jerry will have to study it himself.

Blue Silver Grass is a resilient plant with healing and detoxifying properties, and it grows abundantly and rapidly.

These ordinary ones certainly don't have much medicinal effect; it would take at least ten years.

The "age limit" in this world refers to the cultivation level of a soul beast, not actually the number of years it has lived for.

Therefore, Jerry was unsure whether the ten-year-old soul beast Blue Silver Grass would have the same medicinal effects as ten-year-old medicinal herbs; he needed to try it out.

Ultimately, Jerry was very disappointed; the ten-year-old soul beast Blue Silver Grass didn't have much medicinal effect.

No wonder this world hasn't developed any elixirs. Even a thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass has very little medicinal effect. How can elixirs be developed if there's no medicinal effect?

No wonder they used so many herbs in the previous medicinal bath; it turns out they were relying on similar quantities to enhance the medicinal effect!

When a soul beast reaches a certain level of cultivation, it will unleash its skills, and its medicinal value is not high.

Ordinary herbs are even less effective, with minimal medicinal properties.

The idea is there, but the materials are limited. Using a large amount of medicinal herbs would undoubtedly add many steps, and the more steps there are, the more problems will arise.

Anyone would have a headache if they encountered something like this.

Jerry remembered that the fruits of many trees could also be used to make medicine, so Jerry went to the forest to look for fruit trees. He found some fruit trees, but although they were ordinary fruit trees, the fruits were very ordinary.

After transforming into a soul beast, it no longer bears fruit, because bearing fruit would consume its cultivation, so it simply stops bearing fruit altogether.

Ugh! I'm hitting walls everywhere!
