####################
Duan Li already has a plan in his mind. He was thinking of concocting pills that could boost one's strength temporarily in battle.
Specifically, the Battle Pills!
Because they were about to go and fight against the monster stampede, he needed to make ample preparations beforehand to increase their overall battle prowess.
It would never hurt to be too prepared after all.
"The normal Battle pills sold on the market could increase one's battle prowess by 20 percent. But at the same time, they also have side effects such as 50 percent more stamina reductions and 30 percent more spiritual Qi consumption rate!" Duan Li said to himself as he cupped his chin.
With such draining side effects one could experience from consuming these Battle pills, one would truly try to avoid using them at all, unless forced into a desperate attempt.
"I, however, have already come up with a new recipe that could reduce the side effects significantly while increasing its effectiveness!" he then chuckled out.
Whoosh!
Swiftly gathering the required ingredients from his herb garden, he put the herbs inside the revolting-heavens cauldron. This was the cauldron used by Shen Lu and the rest when tempering their body before. If any cultivator that practiced the art of concoction were to see this, they would definitely laugh their ass off until their lungs bursted out.
This cauldron was not meant to concoct pills nor elixirs as they were made specifically to temper at one's body. But to Duan Li, his opinion was that, if one were a master in the way of concocting, it wouldn't even matter if they were to concoct using a pot for making porridge, one would still be able to produce some good stuff out if it!
Swiftly driving his spiritual Qi in a unique way, the index of his finger produced a bright blue flame by opening an acupoint at the tip. Pointing this finger towards the cauldron, the blue flame flew out.
Huala!
The cauldron lit up and began to boil the herbs together.
"Usually, people would only put in the herbs one by one according to the proper steps, but for simple pills like this Battle pills, I don't need such a time consuming method. Jumbling them up together and extracting their essences out should do the trick!"
Huu!!
The herbs melted as their essences was separated. He then combined the essences together according to his new version of an improved formula for the Battle pill. Not long after that, the pills were already beginning to take its shape!
Huehuehue! Let's see what these pills could do!
Duan Li whipped out the pills from the cauldron. To his surprise, the cauldron had managed to produce 5, green coloured pills!
Not bad at all!
Identify!
[Improved Battle Pills - Tier 3 pills.]
[Able to increase one's battle prowess by 50 percent. Side effects includes 10 percent stamina reduction, 10 percent increase in spiritual Qi consumption rate and high chances to become hyper-active!]
"Hahaha! I did it!" Duan Li cheered happily and almost broke out into a wild dance.
But wait, what is this another side effects?
High chances to become hyper-active?
What's that?
Throwing a side glance at the transformed chicken by the corner of the room, an idea soon popped inside him.
Let's test this pill out using this chicken first!
Since the chicken had been transformed to be able to form its own monster core, right now, it was already at the first level of the Qi condensation realm. Thus, this pill should be effective on it!
If it works, this chicken would give out a little bit more denser aura than it is radiating now!
As this thought ran inside him, the chicken somehow seemed to understand his intention and swiftly glided over, arriving besides him.
"Eh? This chicken came straight at me?" Duan Li's eyes gleamed as he realized something.
When he focused himself, he could feel that there was an intangible connection with this chicken somehow.
Just how could this be?
"Wait, this chicken was transformed after bathing with my blood! No wonder I could sense a familiarity after Shen Lu and the others tempered themselves with my blood before! It must be a similar case!" exclaimed Duan Li.
It was only because this chicken was so weak that Duan Li had only realized this just now.
Interesting!
"Here, swallow this pill!" Duan Li handed down a single Battle pill towards the chicken as the latter immediately peck at it and swallowed the pill whole.
Gulp!
BAM!
Immediately, the body of the chicken expanded even bigger as its thighs and chest muscles popped out, its eyes gradually turning red before flapping its wings furiously!
"Oho? It seems like the effects from the Battle pill would become even stronger on lower cultivation realm! This chicken now exudes the aura of a level 3 Qi condensation realm, not too bad!" Duan Li nodded satisfactorily.
CUUCKK CUCKOOO!!
The chicken suddenly leaped forward and dashed through the wall.
BAM!
The force of that dash was so strong that the wall did not crumble. Instead, there was now a hole that looked similar to the figure of that chicken!
Feeling a bit stumped, Duan Li exited out to see what the chicken was doing while under the effects of the pill.
Peck! Peck! Peck!
When Duan Li saw the chicken once more, it was pecking at the ground non-stop, plucking out worms with every single peck as if it had developed a sixth-sense, and knew exactly where the family of worms resided below the ground!
"Impressive, so it also looks like under the effects of the pills, one's senses would be heightened even further!" exclaimed Duan Li, surprised as he played with his chin, observing the chicken intently.
CUCCK CUCCKOOO!!
The chicken then flapped its wings wide as it leaped atop of a tree, about 5 meters in height.
Eh?
To Duan Li's surprise, this chicken then began to rein in its aura deeper and deeper into its body, until only a small amount of its aura leaked out. Hidden by the leaves atop of the branches, only a glimmer of its eyes could be seen vividly.
It was as if the chicken had suddenly attained the art of concealment, stealth!
This was akin to that of a trained assassin, if one were to be careless, this chicken just might be able to take at one's life in a single sweep!
Frowning his brows, Duan Li looked at the direction of where this chicken was gazing intently.
It was the pond where a lot of fish were swimming merrily with each other!
Gasp!
"Could it be?" said Duan Li as his eyes turned wide, seeming to come into a realization.
Whoosshh!
The chicken suddenly dashed from the branch and flapped its wing with a single, powerful flap. This caused the chicken to glide forward with a sudden acceleration and force behind it, causing it to bolt forward, reminiscing of a true cultivator!
Snatch!
With its sharp claw, the chicken had managed to grab ahold of an unlucky fish that had carelessly swam close to the surface of the water.
This fish was struggling to break free, but that sharp claws of the chicken, or more accurately, its claws-turned-talon grip was too strong!
Landing atop of the ground, the chicken then began to peck at the fish rapidly. Soon, only the bones remained.
Gulp!
"This pill is too formidable! To think that it could turn a mere transformed chicken to act like a Falcon?!" exclaimed Duan Li in astonishment.
At this moment, he was now truly convinced of this improved Battle pills that he had concocted personally along with his concocting skills. It seems like, if he were just to put his mind into it, a heaven-revolting pills would definitely be formed then and there!
...
"Empress Luo, this mortal boy is a madman!" elder Jun spoke out in disbelief.
He could not believe it that a mere chicken had turned so formidable by just swallowing a single improved Battle pill!
A single chicken of this caliber might not amount to much, but if a legion of this chicken - wait no, an army of this chicken was formed, with their might alone, they just might be able to win against a single mortal village!
Now THAT would be truly heaven-defying!
Would a rebellion by the chickens was, but inevitable?
The Empress only observed silently at this scene, appearing indifferent. But her inner heart right now was tumultuous!
Even their guidelines were useless at this moment. After all, such a thing has never happened before!
Hais!
...
In a place far, far away, was an old man with long white beard and an aged look to him. Donning on his white robes, he appeared to be full of enigma.
Right now, he was looking at the 'Timeless Mural Painting' with his hands clasped behind his back. This was an artifact that he had recovered from a long forgotten civilization back in the past.
Suddenly, his brows creased together, alarmed, as at the corner of this Timeless Mural Painting, a new image was slowly forming.
"What is this?" the old man muttered as a foreboding sense crept into him.
An image of connecting walls were formed as the old man made an accurate conjecture.
"This seemed to be.. the depictions of a town wall?" he cupped at his chin.
Then, another image formed atop of these newly formed walls.
"W-What kind of a monster is this?!" the old man exclaimed in surprise, as he intently observed at this 'monster'.
Hmm..?
It seems to be a chicken..?
But that cannot be! Why would a chicken be depicted here?
It must be a phoenix?
The old man then continued to ponder on the meaning behind this newly formed image of a 'monster' for a whole week.
...
Outside the gates of Duan Li's residence court, there were already a lot of students waiting impatiently, akin to soldiers that had come to take down the walls of an enemy.
"Don't push me! I got here first!"
"Screw you, I am a senior!"
"Screw that, I am older than you!"
Countless arguments could be heard and the crowd had almost broke out into an all-out brawl.
"Huh? Guys, Look! That's Shen Murong!"
"What? Eh you are right! So the rumors is now confirmed, that new Lord managed to recruit Shen Murong into his party!"
"Is this guy someone impressive?"
"Fool! That's the grandson of Shen Long!"
The crowd began to whisper while throwing glances at Shen Murong, whom was standing firm behind the gate with both of his arms crossed together at his chest.
At this moment, Shen Murong appeared to become immovable like the mountains!
He then opened his eyes.
"The moment this gate opens, everyone better queue up properly! And don't make trouble for me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" he shouted out as he let out his aura.
He was tasked by Shen Lu to become the security when the registration booth opened later.
Huuu!!
"T-This! It seems that Shen Lu had become even stronger!"
"What?! How could that be?"
"It's true! Previously, I could tell from his aura that he was just at the level 7 of the Foundation establishment realm. But now, this aura is already at half a step towards the pinnacle stage!"
"Impossible! Cultivation is not something that easy! Unless...!!"
Some of the smarter ones immediately made an accurate conjecture.
It must be because of his Lord!
