Chapter 167: Jiang Lin: Who Turned Off the Cooling System for My Pills?
Jiang Lin never expected that the efficiency of his pill absorption would be taken over by the Furnace Technique!
A pill meant to accelerate cultivation had its energy absorbed by the Furnace Technique and used to fuel it! After consuming most of it, the remaining energy was left for Jiang Lin to use for his cultivation!
Thinking about it, Jiang Lin immediately swallowed another cultivation pill and began circulating his energy to absorb it.
Soon, Jiang Lin opened his eyes, a strange expression flickering in his gaze.
The absorption efficiency of the pill was quite high, and both his cultivation and physical strength were increasing.
However, now there was a good news and bad news standing in front of Jiang Lin.
The bad news was that the pill's effect on his Dou Qi cultivation was only an eighth of its potential.
The good news was that the energy absorbed by his body, which made up seven eighths of the pill's energy, would be returned to the Dou Qi cultivation, meaning that in total, the pill would result in a shocking quarter increase in his Dou Qi cultivation. However, one was instantaneous while the other would need to be digested later. Of course, this wasn't really good news. The real good news was that Jiang Lin didn't develop a tolerance to pills!
Normally, people would consume pills to boost their Dou Qi cultivation, but for Jiang Lin, the pill's energy was first refined into energy for the Furnace Technique, and the remaining portion benefited his Dou Qi cultivation.
Jiang Lin thought to himself, "If I treat myself as a humanoid spiritual weapon, then, in a way, it all seems quite reasonable."
He felt somewhat complicated inside. He wasn't sure whether this result was good or bad.
However, the more he thought about it, Jiang Lin suddenly realized that the Furnace Technique was still quite benevolent. At least the third level Furnace Technique could still provide him with one-quarter of the pill's effect.
At the same time, being a spiritual weapon meant that there was no such thing as "pill tolerance," and in a spiritually awakened state, it would be impossible to develop any.
"But even so," Jiang Lin thought, "the Furnace Technique will reach a limit, and at that point, my physical realm may overpower my Dou Qi cultivation, meaning that I might end up being turned into a special 'artifact' that can't progress with cultivation."
Jiang Lin now understood that there wasn't much of a gap between the realms of Dou Qi Master, Great Dou Master, and Dou Spirit. As the realms widened in the future, he would truly be unable to cultivate Dou Qi at all. He would either have to rely on pills or switch to another cultivation method.
After understanding his physical state, Jiang Lin's mind calmed a little. At least for now, he could still cultivate to the level of Great Dou Master, and he would deal with future issues as they came. Reaching the Great Dou Master realm would mean he could progress to the Dou Wang level without relying on pills.
"Lin Ge, how do you feel?" After finishing his training, Xiao Yan quietly asked Jiang Lin.
"It's okay. There are both good and bad aspects, but I can accept it." Jiang Lin nodded and didn't say much more.
The Crystal Pills had already increased his cultivation speed by five times, bringing him to the same level as Xiao Yan, a "normal" person. Jiang Lin was no longer dissatisfied.
"Pack up. We're going to explore ahead and collect the companion Purple Crystal Source." Jiang Lin, now fully recovered, was ready to continue exploring the depths of the Beast Mountain Range, and he also needed to gather some materials for the Crystal Pills.
"This is for you. In the future, just save me some pills," Jiang Lin said, handing Xiao Yan his second-tier Four-Leaf Wing after taking it out from his Leiwen ring.
Xiao Yan looked at the Four-Leaf Wing in his hands, a bit stunned. "Is this... for me?"
Jiang Lin watched as Xiao Yan, now holding the Wing like a precious treasure, groped it carefully, with an expression on his face that made Jiang Lin fall silent for a moment. After a while, Jiang Lin stretched out his hand to grab his own Four-Leaf Wing: "I've used this. Give it to me, and I'll make you a new one."
"No!" Xiao Yan suddenly, with surprising strength, snatched the Four-Leaf Wing back and hugged it close to his chest. He then stepped back and glared at Jiang Lin. "No! I want the one Lin Ge used!"
Jiang Lin: "???"
Yao Chen: "???"
"Ah?" Xiao Yan, realizing his mistake when he saw Jiang Lin and Yao Chen's strange looks, immediately blushed and hurriedly explained, "The one Lin Ge used is the real quality Dou Qi weapon!"
"You brat..." Yao Chen sighed, "But you're right. The artifact a refiner uses is generally the best."
Jiang Lin looked at Xiao Yan for a while, and after noticing his discomfort, he finally sighed and said, "Alright, fine. Since you don't mind, I won't make a new one. You can get used to the Four-Leaf Wing for now. I'm going to find Eagle Sauce."
After saying this, Jiang Lin packed his things and left the cave. His six wings flashed and automatically merged into the armor on his back. With a whoosh, Jiang Lin soared into the sky, leaving behind Xiao Yan, who was still holding the Four-Leaf Wing in a daze.
"Master, I want that!" Xiao Yan pointed to Jiang Lin's receding figure and muttered to Yao Chen.
Yao Chen gave Xiao Yan a faint look, snorted, and said, "So do I."
"Ah?" Xiao Yan froze.
"Stop being silly. First, get used to the Four-Leaf Wing. The Six-Leaf Wing Jiang Lin uses is not something you can handle. The Dou Qi technique for the wings you're learning isn't on the same level as Jiang Lin's." Yao Chen observed Jiang Lin's Six-Leaf Wing twice and could tell that there was something special about it.
"Unless you reach the Dou Wang realm, you won't be able to control the Six-Leaf Wing unless you master Jiang Lin's wing technique."
"I've always wondered how this kid reached the level of creating his own Dou Qi technique so quickly. Turns out he's from a high-quality bloodline of the spirit tribe."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan suppressed his excitement and began adjusting the "discarded equipment" Jiang Lin had given him. His previous Two-Leaf Wing had been damaged by the fourth-level Qing Lion. Xiao Yan originally planned to have Jiang Lin remake it, but these past few days, Jiang Lin had been too busy with the Crystal Pill to help him.
In the end, he didn't expect to get such a great deal and directly received the "Four-Leaf Wing Jiang Lin had used."
"Generally speaking, the first-generation equipment from a refiner is usually of great quality. Take care and don't break it," Yao Chen said, looking at Xiao Yan, who was clumsily trying to fly with the Four-Leaf Wing.
Xiao Yan had good talent, and his spiritual energy was strong enough. After just ten minutes of trying, he had mostly mastered the flying ability of the Four-Leaf Wing. Of course, if he wanted to master full control, he would need more practice.
