It was the Hu Ying family… Lin Xuan opened the door to see Hu Ying and three little tigers approaching, a peculiar fiery red orb in its mouth.
Hu Ying raised its head proudly, offering the orb to Lin Xuan.
"Huh… this thing…"
Lin Xuan took a look. It was a fist-sized, perfectly round fiery red orb.
Within it, faintly, a tiny beast-like shadow could be seen.
"This is a beast crystal about to form into a spirit?!"
Holding it, Lin Xuan felt the immense fiery energy contained within.
A beast crystal is the crystallized power of a beast....like a martial artist's Yuan Dan.
A beast spirit is an even stronger form, usually only forming from creatures at the Creation Stage.
This crystal was about to become a beast spirit....likely half-step Creation Stage in strength.
"Where did you get this?" Lin Xuan asked Hu Ying via telepathy.
"Roar…" Hu Ying replied....it had excavated the orb from a beast skull in the underground cavern and had restrained itself from eating it, waiting for Lin Xuan to return.
"Good, very obedient!" Lin Xuan praised Hu Ying, patting its large head.
Only a mother like Hu Ying could control its greed.
Lin Xuan remembered that in the original story, the beast crystal was immediately swallowed by Xiao Yan.
"Roar!" Hu Ying roared twice, signaling that the crystal's aura matched their own, very beneficial to the Fire Python Tiger, hoping Lin Xuan could refine it into pills to share with the three little tigers.
"You spoil them too much."
Lin Xuan patted Hu Ying's head again.
At this moment, the three little Fire Tigers drooled, eyes glued to the orb, itching to devour it.
"Bang!"
Lin Xuan placed the Pill Refining Furnace on the ground and telepathically commanded,
"Chi Ling, get to work."
"Wow, Master, this beast crystal is excellent.....it can be the main ingredient.
We've stored plenty of spiritual herbs, and combined with Yang Yuan Stones, we can refine Sixth-Grade pills."
Chi Ling responded excitedly to Lin Xuan.
During their forest training, Lin Xuan had collected numerous Third-Grade or higher herbs, stored in the furnace, waiting to create high-quality pills.
Lin Xuan also had over three hundred Yang Yuan Stones collected from the past month's mining; seven-tenths had been handed over by Xiong Wei and the others.
"Good, refine it!"
Lin Xuan poured the beast crystal and all Yang Yuan Stones into the Pill Refining Furnace.
Flames roared inside!
Soon, the furnace successfully opened.
Four fiery red pills floated within.
One was slightly larger, full and round.
"Master, as per your instructions, I controlled the medicinal power....one Sixth-Grade, three near Sixth-Grade."
"Excellent!"
Lin Xuan was satisfied and took the pills.
He had intentionally refined a stronger pill for Hu Ying, allowing it to attempt breaking through to Yuan Dan Stage.
Hu Ying had been the most obedient....this reward was well-deserved.
Those who are most sensible deserve the most care.
Lin Xuan distributed the pills among the four tigers.
Hu Ying received the strongest one and nudged Lin Xuan with its head, grateful for the master's favoritism.
Although it wanted to give the best to its children, it happily accepted Lin Xuan's arrangement.
It obeyed Lin Xuan's orders without hesitation because he had given them a second chance at life.....and such a good life at that.
Hu Ying understood Lin Xuan's intention: it needed to reach the Yuan Dan stage.
Only by becoming stronger could it protect the three little tigers and better serve Lin Xuan.
After consuming the pill, the potent medicinal force spread through the four tigers' bodies.
Mutated bloodlines allowed them to better absorb external power and integrate it.
Thus, even though the pill's power exceeded their previous limits, they could still absorb it.....and this effect was even better, strengthening their bloodlines further.
Lin Xuan quietly observed them.
Now, all four tigers possessed mutated bloodlines. Xiao Yan was no longer unique.
Lin Xuan no longer had to worry about which one to prioritize; the most obedient and sensible would receive focus.
Of course, a mutated bloodline didn't guarantee strength.
In the original story, Xiao Yan had endured countless hardships, constantly absorbing and fusing with powerful beasts before becoming the strongest Dark Sacred Tiger.
Lin Xuan had given them the opportunity. Their future now depended on their own fate.
Half an hour later!
The three little tigers finished refining first. Their power skyrocketed, directly breaking into the Late Tian Yuan stage.
Lin Xuan was not surprised. The pill was effectively a quasi-Sixth-Grade one.
A Sixth-Grade pill gave a significant boost even to Yuan Dan-level creatures.
For Tian Yuan Early-stage tigers, this result was normal.
Another fifteen minutes passed.
