After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 194 Battle Against a Rank 7 Monster

"I'm really impressed by you guys! The first time I'm asked to take action, I have to face such a powerful opponent!" Jin Yi complained upon seeing the situation.

"Thank you so much, Jin Yi. I'll definitely treat you to a good meal after this!" Li Xinyan said quickly.

"I'll make sure there's plenty of your favorite braised pork!" Ye Xiaobai added. This was because Jin Yi had mentioned wanting meat along the way, and Ye Xiaobai had casually shown off his skills by making some braised pork; to his surprise, Jin Yi had eaten several servings.

"Hmph, that's more like it!" Jin Yi snorted. Thinking about the plenty of braised pork he could eat later, he suddenly felt full of energy.

The spirit fox, which was originally only about a meter tall, suddenly grew to be about the same size as the monster.

Six tails, each as thick as an adult's arm and nearly two meters long, swayed behind the spirit fox, as if searching for an opportunity to attack.

"Nine-tailed spirit fox, we are all demon beasts, why are you helping human cultivators? Is it because you are under a restriction?" Upon seeing the brocade-clad figure's imposing aura, the demon beast immediately tried to persuade him.

"Enough nonsense! I, the fox, promise to protect them for a hundred years, and I will definitely keep my word!" Jin Yi said, swinging his huge tail to attack the demon beast.

"Very well, I was going to spare your life because we're both demon beasts, but since you're determined to die, I can grant your wish!" The demon beast said as it pounced on Jin Yi.

Ye Xiaobai and the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard also joined the battle.

After several rounds, the monster was still holding its own against three opponents.

Ye Xiaobai still had some energy left, but he looked slightly tired when he saw the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard.

"Zishan, what's wrong with you? You looked so weak after only fighting for a short while?" Ye Xiaobai asked, staring at the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard.

"Hehe, I helped Sister Jinyi catch a few wild boars last night. It took a bit of effort, and I haven't recovered yet!" Purple Flame Thunder Leopard said awkwardly.

"You're this tired just from catching a few wild boars?" Ye Xiaobai asked incredulously.

"Hehe, actually we caught a hundred!"

"How many herds of wild boars did you wipe out?!"

"Master, please give me a few Spirit Essence Pills to restore my strength. Once I recover, I can continue fighting!" the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard suggested.

"I'm really impressed by you!" Ye Xiaobai said, tossing out a bottle of Spirit Essence Pills.

"You're still chatting while we're fighting? Take this Heart-Piercing Claw!" The wolf-dog-like monster pounced on Ye Xiaobai as soon as he threw out a bottle of pills.

Fortunately, the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard was as fast as lightning and easily snatched the pill, then poured it all into its mouth and swallowed it.

"Roar!" The Purple Flame Thunder Leopard roared as its demonic power surged within it.

After missing its target, the wolfhound-like monster was furious and prepared to increase its attack speed.

However, when it saw the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard swallow a bottle of pills, the rich aroma of the pills immediately caught its eye. This strong fragrance must mean it was a top-grade pill!

"Kid, where did you get this bottle of top-grade spirit essence pills?" the wolfhound-like demonic beast asked, staring at Ye Xiaobai.

"Oh, I still don't know how to address you, senior?" Ye Xiaobai asked hastily, seeing that the demon beast in front of him was actually interested in pills.

"Just call me Devourer of Heaven! Where are your pills?" the demonic beast said proudly.

"Oh, so it's Senior Devouring Heaven. This pill was refined by me!" Ye Xiaobai said respectfully.

"What? You can actually refine a fifth-grade top-quality pill? You do have some skill! But you're still far inferior to the Five Elements Venerable!" Devouring Heaven said with a hint of surprise.

"This junior is naturally no match for the Five Elements Venerable Senior, but given time, who knows!" Ye Xiaobai said calmly.

"Well, you've got quite the nerve, but I like it! Considering your alchemy skills are pretty good, I'll spare your life if you agree to refine pills for me!" Devouring Heaven said seriously.

"I wonder what kind of pills you would like me to refine, senior?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously.

"A seventh-tier Profound Origin Pill!" Tuntian said calmly.

"What? It's actually a seventh-grade pill! This junior can't refine it yet!" Ye Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.

"So what's the highest grade of pills you can refine right now?" Tuntian asked curiously.

"Sixth level!"

Not long ago, Ye Xiaobai refined the Five Elements Condensation Pill, which could barely be considered a sixth-grade pill. However, the required materials were extremely difficult to find. Even when he tried to buy them from the Alchemist Alliance, he could only get a few portions.

"In that case, let's continue fighting!" Devouring Heaven said, and they resumed the fight.

"Don't rush, senior. Just because I can't refine seventh-grade pills now doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future!" Ye Xiaobai quickly stopped Devouring Heaven's attack.

"What? You expect me to wait for you? You can't even refine to the seventh rank in your entire life, and I'm supposed to wait for you my whole life?" Devouring Heaven retorted.

"Three years! Senior, give me three years, and I will definitely be able to refine a seventh-grade pill!" Ye Xiaobai quickly patted his chest and promised.

"Three years?" Tuntian pondered for a moment, then said, "Refine a bottle of the Spirit Essence Pill from earlier in front of us, so I can confirm your alchemy skills!"

"Now?" Ye Xiaobai asked directly.

"Right now! How can I believe what you say if it's not being refined on-site?" Devouring Heaven said without room for argument.

"Alright, but the alchemy process cannot be disturbed. I hope you can stay at a certain distance!" Ye Xiaobai said helplessly.

"Let's begin! I won't disturb you!" After saying that, Tuntian ran directly to the door of the secret chamber, giving Ye Xiaobai plenty of distance.

Seeing that both sides had paused their battle, Zi Yan Lei Bao, Jin Yi, and Li Xin Yan all stayed aside to recuperate and recover their expended energy.

Ye Xiaobai then took out a top-grade pill furnace and began the pill refining process with practiced ease.

As expected, Ye Xiaobai successfully refined a bottle of top-grade spiritual essence pills in a short time.

Upon seeing Ye Xiaobai finish refining the pills, the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard exclaimed, "Master's pill refining speed is even faster than before!"

"Something's got something!" Jin Yi thought to himself.

Li Xinyan hadn't seen Ye Xiaobai refine pills for a long time, and she was amazed by his pill-refining skills.

Seeing that Ye Xiaobai had finished refining the pill, Tuntian loudly said, "Let me check the pill!"

"Okay, senior, here you go!" Ye Xiaobai said, tossing the newly refined Spirit Essence Pill to Tuntian.

After receiving the pills, Tuntian carefully examined each one. He first gently picked up one pill with his fingers and carefully observed its appearance. The surface of this pill was perfectly smooth, without the slightest flaw, like a fine work of art.

Then, he brought the pill close to his nose, took a deep breath, and savored its rich fragrance. The fragrance was as gentle as a spring breeze, yet it possessed an irresistible allure, making one want to inhale it a few more times.

Then, Tuntian placed the pill in his palm, feeling its weight and texture. Although the pill was small and exquisite, it contained enormous energy. He could feel the surging spiritual power within it, a power that left him deeply awestruck.

Next, Tuntian picked up the other pills and examined them one by one. Without exception, each one was just as perfect as the first one. These pills were not only smooth in appearance and had a fragrant aroma, but they were also of extremely high quality, undoubtedly top-grade spiritual pills.

Finally, Tuntian nodded in satisfaction, secretly marveling, "I never expected this little guy to actually refine such a high-quality Spirit Essence Pill. He's truly remarkable!"
