Deep in the night, all was quiet.

In the midst of Changyin Mountain, on the side of a cliff wall.

A figure stepped out from a narrow cave entrance, eyes glowing, without making a sound.

He activated the Concealing Breath Mantra to the fullest, Luo Chen was as calm as an old stump, scanning his surroundings.

Good, the entrance to this cave hasn't been discovered by the Demon Beasts of Changyin Mountain.

Some time ago, through his connection with Zeng Wen, he managed to procure a geographical record of the Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains.

There were lots of specific place names that ordinary rogue cultivators wouldn't know.

The most detailed notation belongs to the Ancient Plains Mountain Range, as it is the most common location for the cultivators of the Broken Mountain Gang and the Rogue Cultivators in the Great River District.

Compared to it, the notation for Xiao Yue Mountain Range was much simpler. The path that extends from Crescent Valley leads to Changyin Mountain. The mountain was rich in resources and filled with numerous Demon Beasts, among which the Grey Leaf Wolf and the Frostwolf could be found all year round.

It could be said that for the dozens of nearby mountains, these two were the dominant wolf packs.

Additionally, there were also interspersed with a small number of natural enemies to the Demon Wolves and weaker Demon Beasts.

Upon confirming that the surroundings were safe, Luo Chen cautiously stepped out of the cave and gradually began to explore.

After a while, he stopped in his tracks.

His gaze focused on a point three hundred meters in front of him.

There were two stray Demon Wolves engaged in fierce combat, their growls and panting resounded incessantly.

“I didn't expect that after so long, the fights between the wolf packs are still going on.”

“But this is good, it facilitates my plans!”

A thought flashed through Luo Chen's mind, and he took out four array flags from his storage bag.

The Concealment Spirit Formation, given by Lu Huaiben.

It had always been used by him to hide the fluctuations of Spirit Power in the Spirit Vein Cave, but today, it was well-suited for setting up a battlefield.

After arranging the four array flags in specific locations, Luo Chen quietly waited for the outcome of the fight before him.

The fights between Lower Order Demon Beasts were very straightforward.

So straight to the point that they didn't use any inherent demon techniques, relying entirely on melee combat.

Such a situation would only improve after the Demon Beasts reached the Second Order.

It was said that when a Demon Beast reaches the Third Order, the equivalent of a human's Golden Core, their Spirit Intelligence evolves significantly. Many of them even learn various languages by refining the horizontal bone in their throats, not just simple roars and howls.

This ability of a beast to speak human language usually occurred after reaching the Third Order.

The two Demon Wolves before him did not reach that level, they had a rather low Spirit Intelligence and fought purely on instinct.

Their fight ended quickly.

The body of a Grey Leaf Wolf lay still.

It was full of terrible wounds, its fur ripped and the internal organs exposed, the smell of blood was lingering.

After all, it was the season of heavy snow and frost-covered land.

The Grey Leaf Wolf did not have the advantage of weather and terrain.

However, the victor was not in good shape either.

The wolf, initially white as snow, now had its fur turned up, with a wound on its neck so deep that the bone could be seen.

It wanted to lick the wound, but the position of the wound made movements awkward, so it could only move back while tired.

Suddenly, it stopped in its tracks.

A low growl echoed out of it, its fur stood on end, an immense sense of danger filled its limited Spirit Intelligence.

The Frostwolf wanted to resist, but a heavy tripod came pressing down from above.

The four-color light, like tassel ribbons, tied its limbs and head tightly.

“This Four Symbols Tripod may be referred to as 'monster', but its various magical uses are truly extraordinary.”

Looking at the tripod floating above the Frostwolf, Luo Chen revealed a smile on his face.

It is said that this tripod was crafted by Tool Casting Master Hu Yanzhuo in Tian Fan City, originally intended to be a Lower Grade Magic Item, but due to Array and Tool Casting Methods issues, it ended up only being an Ascendant Grade Magic Tool.

After Luo Chen got it, he continued honing it, thereby leading him to discover many uses.

Pill refinement, defense, attack, suppression.

The power each use exerts is not extraordinary, being only equal to an average Ascendant Grade Magic Tool.

But as it has multiple uses, it can be used in more situations.

For instance, at this moment, Luo Chen was using its suppression feature to great effect.

A First Order Demon Wolf is not Luo Chen's match in the first place.

Not to mention, it was injured!

Taken by surprise, the Four Symbols Tripod effortlessly suppressed it.

Seeing the Demon Wolf lying on the ground, its eyes filled with anger yet also shock, Luo Chen kindly walked over to it.

Stooping down, Luo Chen, with a grin on his face, took out a blood-red elixir.

“Little doggy, don't be scared.”

“Big brother has some nice things here, eat this, it's good for your body!” The Demon Wolf obediently swallowed the elixir, almost choking on it, Luo Chen had to help it by channeling Spirit Power to soothe its throat, even patting it on the back.

After feeding it the Blood Ignition Pill, Luo Chen cautiously retreated step by step.

He no longer passively activated Spirit Vision Technique but began to actively induce the Spirit Vision, his gaze fixed on the Demon Wolf.

Sure enough, the wolf reacted quickly!

As the power of the pill spread, the Demon Wolf let out a low growl, its eyes turned completely red.

Its back arched upward, its muscles began to tremble violently as if an earth dragon was squirming within it.

Not only that, the pungent Demon Qi was also spreading rapidly.

It signified that its Demon Power was surging wildly.

Dang!

Luo Chen's eyelids twitched as he felt the Four Symbols Tripod that he was controlling became unstable.

The colorful tassels that had originally bound the Frostwolf were now tightly tensioned, as if they could break off at any moment.

Luo Chen increased his spirit power, maintaining his ability to suppress.

However, the constantly soaring strength made the originally ordinary suppressive power seem inadequate.

Crack!

A faint sound echoed.

The Frostwolf lying on the ground stood up. Its huge body, already as tall as a human, expanded by about one third, becoming even bigger.

It stood there, its size almost surpassed Luo Chen's.

Its muscled demon body seemed extremely large. Looking at it up close, it was like a big elephant.

Its furious, red eyes were firmly fixed on Luo Chen. The originally weak aura had become even stronger than it had been in its prime.

Aggressive, blood-thirsty and mad.

Suddenly, it moved.

It directly broke free from the residual suppression of the Four Symbols Tripod

and came charging at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen had been prepared for this, he calmly retreated.

Not only that, he also summoned the Four Symbols Tripod back and kept sending out rainbow lights.

Some were to hinder, some for suppression.

As for defense, it was unnecessary.

Luo Chen's speed was too fast. With the full activation of his Cloud-Stepping

Boots, and the use of Carefree Wandering and Wind Riding Technique.

It could be said that he was merely “walking the dog”.

Luo Chen wasn't strolling aimlessly, he was running in circles.

The area where he was running was precisely within the Concealment Spirit Formation he had laid.

This was why, even though the Frostwolf's spiritual power erupted massively, not the slightest bit was leaked out within the well-prepared Concealment Spirit Formation.

While “walking the dog”, Luo Chen observed the Frostwolf's condition while calculating the time.

About three or four minutes later, the Frostwolf's momentum noticeably began to decline.

At the same time, its spirit seemed to have recovered a bit.

Realizing that the enemy was superior to itself and was simply toying with it, it began to retreat subconsciously.

Seeing this, Luo Chen extended his hand and launched Jade Sword.

Seven flying knives, sometimes three or two, kept blocking its retreat, not injuring it, just driving it back.

In this manner, another two minutes passed.

The demon wolf's aura declined to an extreme point, even weaker than before.

“That's about it.”

By this time, Luo Chen stopped holding back.

The Four Symbols Tripod suddenly erupted and pressed down on the Frostwolf.

Poor Frostwolf was once again bound at the same spot.

Luo Chen walked up, released his spirit power and drilled into the Frostwolf's body.

After a while, Luo Chen withdrew his spirit power as he contemplated.

He glanced at the pitiful-looking Frostwolf, Luo Chen used his hands to gently tear open the giant wound on its neck.

The Frostwolf died on the spot.

On its body there were no traces of Luo Chen's attacks, it only bore the injuries that the Grey Leaf Wolf had caused earlier.

A few array flags were turned into rainbow light and entered his Storage Bag.

After collecting the Concealment Spirit Formation, Luo Chen didn't greed over the bodies of the two demon beasts and quietly returned to the tunnel.

[First trial report of Blood Ignition Pill]

[It can stimulate the inner muscles and blood, causing a large amount of spirit power instantly. The effect is similar to Spirit Refinement Qi Transformation.] [After stimulation, the strength increases by thirty percent. But it causes blurred consciousness, filled with violent tendencies, which might be related to the main ingredient, Explosive Monkey Demon Blood.]

[But this effect is a forced stimulus, it harms the original source and leaves sequelae such as tearing of the expanded meridians and weakening of blood and energy.]

[The duration time for the pill is five minutes. If intense tactics are deployed, the time may even decrease.]

[Conclusion: It's not a cultivation pill nor an auxiliary pill, but it leans towards being a battle pill. However, it does not bear a heavy trace of the Path of Demon, so it's not necessary to worry about the sect's prohibition.]

Luo Chen stopped his hands and looked at the information recorded on the notebook.

Getting this much information by testing the pill on the demon beasts, he was quite satisfied.

However, some parts were not certain enough.

After all, the Blood Ignition Pill is refined for human cultivators. If used in humans, the effects might be completely opposite to that in demon beasts.

Pity that the Broken Mountain Gang does not have trial people like the Hundred Herbs Pavilion does.

Otherwise, they could be used for testing.

Luo Chen looked at the remaining four Blood Ignition pills in his Storage Bag, considering how to determine the real effects of the Blood Ignition Pill on cultivators.

Only after determining the effects can he decide how to deal with such a pill.

Should he use it for himself? Refine a dozen or so, just in case.

Or should he sell it?

If he chooses to sell, what kind of selling strategy should he use?

Like Jade Marrow Pill, should it be a large-scale distribution? Or like Allure Pill initially, would a stall and fixed point of sale be best? Or should he learn from Spirit Medicine Hall, treat it as a precious elixir and put it up for auction?

These questions can only be decided after determining the effects of the pill.

And once he make the decision, it would affect Luo Chen's subsequent refinement plans.

“Cannot expose the Blood Ignition Pill, it's not easy to find trial people.”

“There are many observations of me in the Gang, I need to avoid…. Maybe I can

let others find people for testing?”

Naturally, Luo Chen thought of his good brother, Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan might be very interested in this kind of pill that boosts fighting

abilities, particularly as it is related to blood and energy.

After all, the Blood Ignition Pill is born from the Blood Evil Qi Pill.

Most importantly, Wang Yuan is freer than him, having an independent business outside!
