Villain Cultivator Chapter 240

Cao Mao had obtained a unique constitution, which continuously produced transparent blood that contained every basic elemental Qi.

The blood element maintained the basic essence of life for Cao Mao's body. The light element Qi in the bone marrow synchronized with Cao Mao's life essence, keeping the balance of his element Qi within his blood cells.

As for the troublesome element, the gold element, it became a supplement for the blood cells. Each drop of Cao Mao's blood could generate power equal to 1,000 strands of an element Qi, which was comparable to a strand of advanced element Qi.

It was a matter of time before Cao Mao could condense all basic element cores in his dantian to be able to use the power of every element Qi. But for now, he couldn't utilize the element Qi without a core in his dantian. He still needed to use his blood as a medium to control the element Qi that he hadn't condensed a core yet.

With the upgraded power and his new constitution, the other hearts of divine beasts were easier to subdue. Still, it took everyone two hours to contain the residual will of the divine beasts.

"Brat, what's next?"

Ju Shoufen seemed cold toward Cao Mao on the surface, but deep down, she was excited to see the changes in his body. She had been also looking forward to creating the divine pill with everyone.

She also had a burning desire. Ju Shoufen hoped to get a taste of Cao Mao's body in ITS again after they had finished making the pill.

Unbeknownst to Cao Mao, his current handsome face and muscular body were her type. Moreover, his previous golden semen had replenished her Qi and increased the volume of her dantian. She wanted more of those.

Nobody noticed the dripping sticky juice between Ju Shoufen's legs.

"The four hearts cannot be burnt or compressed. We have to disintegrate them into particles along with every other ingredient. We'll also throw the will of these beasts into the cauldron, so they can struggle to survive by reconstructing their new heart…"

Cao Mao explained the process to Jia Wenhe, Ju Shoufen, Ma Moxi, and the bystanders who had come to help.

Ma Ping, Zhao Bao, and Jia Shan were also there, listening to alchemy lecture even though they couldn't concoct pills. There was no harm in learning a few unusual things to broaden their horizon. Maybe, they might obtain inspiration for their dao or a new skill from listening to Cao Mao.

The process from now on couldn't be called pill-making since they had to rely on the souls of these four heavenly beasts to create the divine pills.

The system had told Cao Mao to disintegrate everything into particles after he had subdued the souls of the four beasts. Then, these beasts would struggle to recreate their new vessel by gathering the particles of their hearts.

This was their golden opportunity. They had to throw in all ingredients in the mix and control the heart particle, merging them together as one. Moreover, they had to exchange their heart particles with the other divine beasts!

The system had also warned that the divine beasts might try to separate the particles from condensing. Cao Mao and others needed to let them resurrect themselves in the process, but they couldn't allow the beasts to get back every piece of their heart particles. It was their job to take a portion of each heart and mix them together before they could recreate the four hearts.

Upon listening to the instruction, Ju Shoufen and Jia Wenhe were confused. Even Ma Moxi frowned as it didn't make sense.

"Why do you need the will of these beasts? Can't we just destroy them before we create the pills? Won't they get in the way?"

"This is what differentiates divine pills from immortal-grade pills. We take the heart and the spirit of these divine beasts. Then, we refine them into something that we can eat and digest!"

"What the hell!? Then, what will happen to the will of these beasts after we eat them!?"

Cao Mao reread the pill recipe and the description of the divine pill on his system screen, but nobody had noticed the semi-transparent screen.

"Upon completing the pill, the will of these divine beasts will lose their memory, desire, and ego. They will become souls of newborn divine beasts that you can tame. If someone were to eat the pill, the digested soul of the divine beast will merge with the person's dao avatar, turning it into a divine dao!"

"This doesn't include the benefits of the Yin Yang Divine Veins, which can enable the pill consumer to be compatible with every basic element Qi. Well, you can say that their body will become similar to mine, minus the orc bloodline. They will also be able to gather Yin and Yang Qi naturally and proficiently, at least 10 times faster than they normally do."

Ju Shoufen and everyone gulped. If what Cao Mao had said was true, this divine pill could be a priceless treasure that even immortals would be willing to sell their kidneys and their daughters to get their hands on the pill.

Everyone kept their mouth shut as they gazed at Cao Mao, praying that he could succeed in making the pill. If possible, they hoped to obtain the scraps at the bottom of Cao Mao's cauldron. If better, they hoped that Cao Mao could share one of the completed pills.

Cao Mao, Ju Shoufen, and Jia Wenhe teamed up again. This time, they used Ju Shoufen's immortal-grade cauldron to concoct the divine pill.

The cauldron was a giant gemstone pot with the ruby emblems of ten golden crows, made from the sun ruby, a material from Sun Crow's plane, which could contain extreme temperature above 10,000 degrees Celsius. The spirit of the cauldron, a green crow, came out from the cauldron and sat on top of Ju Shoufen's shoulder, watching the concoction process.

Ju Shoufen and Jia Wenhe poured their fire element Qi into the cauldron, maintaining the temperature of 50,000 degrees Celsius. Yet, the heat didn't leak outside as the green crow also helped to suppress the heat from getting out of the pot.

The hearts of the divine beasts and the processed herbs were thrown into the cauldron at the same time. Then, Cao Mao cut his wrist, pouring a liter of his transparent blood into the pot.

As soon as his blood had touched the ingredients, the herbs and the hearts were disintegrated into particles as Cao Mao had commanded every blood cell to deconstruct everything into small molecules.

The ingredients turned into colorful dust, hovering in the red pot.

Cao Mao closed the lid. Then, Ju Shoufen, Jia Wenhe, and Cao Mao sent their Qi in there to separate the divine beasts' particles into four parts. Then, they mixed the particles together while they made sure that all four groups of dust had been separated equally.

The sealed souls of the divine beasts also recovered themselves at the same time. They rushed toward the gathered colorful dust, trying to use them to reanimate their hearts, hoping to self-resurrect.

The three alchemists maintained the balance of the four groups of dust, not allowing the beasts to do as they pleased while they added the particles of the herbs into the mix.

None of the beasts had realized that their new heart contained a portion of all four hearts. They simply gathered everything they could and condensed a new body for themselves.

However, they couldn't reconstruct their hearts properly. No matter what they had done, the dust could only be united as a compressed ball. The beasts tried to make their new body larger, but it kept shrinking because they lacked spiritual Qi, substance, and mass.

The four beasts turned toward each other. Then, it tried to consume the others to survive.

Yet, Cao Mao, Ju Shoufen, and Jia Wenhe stopped them from doing so. They had been trying to make divine pills, not making the ultimate Gu – the supreme poison.

As the will of the beasts struggled to survive, Cao Mao drank spring water to regenerate his blood. Then, he mixed his blood together with the Yin Yang Catalysts' particles before he opened the lid and tossed them into the cauldron.

The four colorful balls rushed to drink the mixed blood in a hurry as if they had been wandering in a desert without water for decades.

Their condensed dust bodies expanded in mass and got solid. Next, they sheathed several layers of pill skins as they underwent an evolution.

But that was their mistake. Their memory and dream were slowly erased by the catalyst blood as they removed their ego along with the skin. Also, the discarded ego of these beasts was instantly consumed by the green crow as ordered by Cao Mao and Ju Shoufen. Still, the sheathed skin was intact.

More layers of pill skin were peeled off the core of each pill as the divine pills had been almost completed. Seeing the development, Cao Mao dropped more blood into the cauldron, aiming at the unused mass at the bottom of the cauldron.

All excess skin was disintegrated and condensed into several balls, just like how Cao Mao had first deconstructed the main ingredients.

Because of the massive amount of ingredients, Cao Mao managed to scavenge enough unused particles to condense additional pills. However, their quality was inferior to the four core pills with the divine beasts' souls.

The concoction process was shockingly quick. It took the three alchemists three hours to finish.

Jia Wenhe and Ju Shoufen stopped adding Qi into the cauldron. The green crow also burped as it ate enough conscious ego of the beasts.

Ding

[You have concocted four perfect-grade divine pills, Yin Yang Divine Vein Pills!]

The system also confirmed that Cao Mao had succeeded. He opened the lid and collected the four divine pills in glee.

A blue pill, a red pill, a green pill, and a black pill hovered above Cao Mao's right palm, releasing the medical scent of 108 herbs. The four souls inside the pills also cried as if they were newborn babies, who had come out to the world for the first time.

But Cao Mao wasn't satisfied with having only these pills. He waved his left hand to collect what he had made using the leftover from these divine pills.

Ding

[You have concocted eight excellent-grade immortal pills, Inferior Yin Yang Divine Vein Pills!]

[You have concocted ten good-grade immortal pills, Inferior Yin Yang Divine Vein Pills!]

Eighteen burnt pills gathered on Cao Mao's left hand. He gazed at the pills and sighed as these medicines wouldn't have the same effect as the divine pills. Still, they should be helpful to the yin slaves. He could also sell some of them to gain some essence cores in the future.

As Cao Mao was thinking about what he should do with the pills in the future, Ju Shoufen and Jia Wenhe sensed something from the bottom of the cauldron.

At the bottom of the red cauldron, Cao Mao's leftover blood had gathered the peeled skin of the four divine pills, which hadn't been disintegrated yet as they were the last discarded skin layer, closest to the core pill.

Cao Mao's blood melted the skin, transforming into a hard liquid, the same as mercury, but they moved as if they were alive.

Soon, the grey liquid transformed into a grey ball.

Ding

[You have concocted a superior-grade immortal pill, Unified Elemental Vein Pill!]

[A new pill recipe has been added to your mass-production system.]

[You can use the mass-production menu to automatically create Unified Elemental Vein Pill if you have enough ingredients in your system inventory.]

[The system shop has been updated. The ingredients for Unified Element Vein Pill can be bought with life essence water.]

After Cao Mao had read the notification panel, he burst into laughter. Although the pill grade was a level lower than the divine-grade, he had just unlocked the mass production feature for the item, and he wouldn't have trouble securing the ingredients since he had the system shop cheat.
