Chapter 178 Formula of Third-Rank Beast Essence Pill
Alien animal spirit meat is meat, not elixir, so there is no problem of excessive "medicine effect".
In addition, the Xihu Black Turtle is considered a relatively weak beast in the fourth level, so Yang Fan and the others were relatively successful in refining their spiritual flesh.
Not long after, Huang Jintao also woke up faintly.
Yang Fan also handed over a piece of alien beast spirit meat.
The three of them plus a fox, with the help of the spiritual meat of the alien beasts provided by the Black Turtle of Xihu, and some low-level elixirs, they were basically able to recover within half a day.
Afterwards, the three of them disposed of the black turtle's body, cutting off all the edible parts, and burying the inedible parts underground to avoid attracting other strange beasts.
After several hours of hard work, they dismantled more than 600 grams of exotic animal spiritual meat, which was divided equally between the three of them, with each person receiving more than 200 grams.
All that's left of the alien black turtle is a huge turtle shell.
Huang Jintao said that the turtle shell could actually be used to forge weapons, but unfortunately the turtle shell was too heavy and they could not cut it open, so they had to reluctantly throw it away.
Unconsciously, the sky had darkened, and the three of them were sitting on the rocks by the lake, looking at the lake in front of them.
The calm lake surface was pitch black, and when staring at the lake surface, I felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
No one knows what kind of strange beasts there are at the bottom of the lake, and this fear of the unknown makes people even more nervous.
"I don't dare to go there... I've already encountered the Black Turtle of Xihu. There are 100% strange beasts under the lake!" Huang Jintao frowned, "Didn't I say that the difficulty of the target here will be relatively easy? Why does it feel like it's difficult to move even an inch."
The first level goal requires exploring three islands, and you have to go into the water at least twice. Each island is several kilometers apart. If you encounter an underwater beast on the way, you won't even have a chance to escape.
"Yang Fan, what do you think?" Huang Jintao looked at Yang Fan.
After the day's battle, Huang Jintao now has no objections to Yang Fan's decision.
On the other hand, Yang Fan also looked at Huang Jintao with even greater admiration.
This guy is so loyal to his core.
Although none of the three mentioned the battle during the day, a more united temporary team had been formed between the three.
Yang Fan remained silent and stared blankly at the lake, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing that Yang Fan didn't speak, Huang Jintao turned around and sighed. It seemed that Yang Fan didn't have any good solution.
Suddenly, Yang Fan frowned and said softly, "I really want to know how to get over it."
"Ah?" Shen Yanhong and Huang Jintao both looked at Yang Fan in surprise, "How to get there?"
"Wait!" Yang Fan only said one word.
Just when Shen Yanhong and Huang Jintao were about to continue questioning, a gust of night wind blew, and they both shivered at the same time.
"I'll go, why is it so cold?" Huang Jintao shrank up.
Yang Fan's sense of touch is very sensitive. He has long been aware of the temperature change. During the day, the temperature was about 23 degrees Celsius. In the evening, it dropped seven or eight degrees. After a while at night, the temperature continued to drop. Now it is only about four or five degrees Celsius.
degrees Celsius.
If the temperature here continues to drop, it will soon reach subzero!
More than two hours later, the lake, which was pitch black before, was already covered with a layer of ice!
Huang Jintao looked at Yang Fan in shock, "How do you know the lake will freeze?"
Yang Fan smiled slightly, "Maybe I'm more sensitive to temperature."
"It seems we were right not to jump into the water rashly. To cross the island, we have to wait until midnight, when the lake is frozen, which is the best time."
"I don't know when the temperature will rise again, let's go!"
"Liu Li!" Yang Fan greeted, Liu Li jumped onto Yang Fan's shoulders, and her soft tail became a natural high-end scarf.
Although the lakeside has been frozen, they also know that if there is any powerful beast, it will not be difficult to break through the ice.
The three people quickly walked across the ice very cautiously.
Ten minutes later, they finally arrived at the nearest island to them.
At this time, all the vegetation on the mountain was covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and there was a vast expanse of white everywhere.
"It's so cold! The temperature is still dropping!" Shen Yanhong rubbed her hands and touched her thighs.
She was wearing short-sleeved hot pants and shivering all over in such a low temperature.
Due to the low temperature, they could no longer continue exploring and had to find a narrow cave to take shelter from the cold.
Yang Fan tremblingly lit a bonfire at the entrance of the cave. Logically speaking, lighting a fire in the wild would increase the risk, but the night here is too cold. If you don't light a fire, you will freeze to death.
As soon as the fire was lit, the three of them immediately added a lot of dead wood to it and piled some stones next to the fire to help block the cold wind.
The fire gradually grew stronger. The three of them and one fox hid in a small stone cave to avoid the cold wind and leaned close to the bonfire to keep warm.
By the light of the fire, the three of them suddenly discovered that it was snowing heavily outside. Huang Jintao braved the snow to find some branches and made a simple roof for the fire.
The bonfire kept the cold air out of the cave, and the cave, which was not very spacious, finally became warm.
"It's still warm in our little nest." Huang Jintao said, "At least in this spooky weather, the probability of encountering strange beasts is greatly reduced."
This sentence made everyone feel relaxed instantly.
It was now about ninety o'clock in the evening, and it was already freezing and snowy outside, making it impossible to explore, so the three of them simply rested in the cave.
"It's still early, everyone, I'm going to start studying. If you want to sleep, go to bed first. I'll call you in the middle of the night." Huang Jintao suddenly said.
Yang Fan and Shen Yanhong both looked at Huang Jintao in surprise.
What the hell does this guy want to "study"?
After speaking, Huang Jintao took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and took out several items.
A glass bottle filled with gray irregular residue, a palm-sized copper stove, and a stack of talismans.
He carefully poured out a few grains of residue from the glass bottle and observed it repeatedly, very attentively.
Shen Yanhong and Yang Fan both looked at it strangely.
"Old Huang, what are you looking at? What is this?" Shen Yanhong came over and looked at the strange irregular "pebble" in Huang Jintao's hand strangely.
"Elixir residue." Huang Jintao put down the residue, looked at Yang Fan and Shen Yanhong impatiently, and said, "Hey, don't disturb my study, okay?"
Yang Fan was more interested than Shen Yanhong, especially after hearing about the "residues of the elixir". He completely ignored Huang Jintao's warning, "Old Huang, this is the residue of the elixir? What do you want this for? What on earth are you studying? ?”
"What kind of talismans are these talismans? Do you also use spiritual talismans?"
Huang Jintao looked at his two companions who were full of curiosity. One picked up a pill residue and the other held a copper stove. He did not regard himself as an outsider at all.
"I said you two..." After thinking for a while, Huang Jintao sighed.
They will stay here for a month. If I don't explain it clearly to them, these two curious babies will definitely keep asking questions.
"Yang Fan, we are different from you." Huang Jintao said, "Anyway, at this stage, I am not capable of achieving the ultimate goal."
"But I also want to become stronger."
"If you can't get the attractive rewards of the ultimate goal and want to become stronger, you need to find another way."
Shen Yanhong kept nodding. She was about the same strength as Huang Jintao, and it was easier for her to agree with Huang Jintao's statement.
"Then what method did you use?"
After receiving recognition from his peers, Huang Jintao became more confident and more interested.
Huang Jintao told his two teammates about his ambitious goals.
First, he hopes that he will have the opportunity to have a special profession.
"Among the special professions, I think the alchemist is definitely the fastest to make money." Huang Jintao said, "I heard from our captain that when we reach the second level, all the materials we use to improve our abilities are obtained from alchemy, such as the spirit flesh of alien beasts. The material, at that time, was simply not enough.”
"Think about it, if I can make alchemy, can I make money while lying down? As long as I have enough wealth, I will have the opportunity to become a strong man!"
Yang Fan looked at Huang Jintao in surprise.
To be honest, Yang Fan didn't pay much attention to this guy before, but this time, Yang Fan was impressed by Huang Jintao.
Huang Jintao's basic data is actually very good, but in other aspects, he is not outstanding, and he is gradually distanced by Liu Qi himself.
But ordinary people like Huang Jintao also have the desire to become stronger, but he has always used his own way to become stronger.
Yang Fan frowned and said, "It is very difficult to become an alchemist. First of all, we don't have spiritual power."
Huang Jintao smiled slightly, "We don't have spiritual power, but there are spiritual power talismans on the market!"
"And most pills at this stage do not require strong spiritual power or powerful flames. I can use spiritual fire talismans and spiritual power talismans instead."
"I bought these elixir residues from the trading market. They are some residues left over when alchemists made elixirs. Although they don't have much medicinal effect, the ingredients of the elixir are the same as those of the finished elixir."
"I can work out the formula of the elixir from these residues. If I can successfully refine a low-level elixir, then I will be rich!"
"For example, this third-level beast spirit elixir residue, if I can research the formula of the third-level beast spirit elixir, huh, everyone, I'm sorry, I'll just take off on the spot!"
Yang Fan looked at Huang Jintao in shock.
This guy's talents are all used in these aspects.
Shen Yanhong asked, "How is the progress now?"
Huang Jintao frowned again and shook his head helplessly, "There are currently six ingredients for the third-level beast spirit pill, which is basically an open secret, but there seems to be one more ingredient that our scavengers haven't researched yet."
"There are formulas in other organizations, but they don't share them. The Scavengers don't know how much they lose every year just by purchasing and exchanging third-level beast spirit elixirs."
Yang Fan picked up the residue of a third-level beast spirit elixir, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
It was a faint medicinal fragrance, mixed with a faint smell, mixed together... In short, he could not analyze the formula of the animal essence pill from the smell.
"Brother Huang, how much does this scrap of yours cost? I want to buy some."
"A small bottle of three hundred thousand yuan, if you want it, I'll give it to you." Huang Jintao said generously.
Yang Fan did not refuse for the time being and directly put the remains of the elixir in his hand into his mouth.
After the residue entered his mouth, Yang Fan closed his eyes slightly and secretly opened the taste of the primary elixir.
All kinds of materials appeared in his mind.
Shura grass, Tianqing nectar, yellow ginseng, which seems to smell like the blood of alien animals, iron hand vine, purple-shirted castor!
These materials have appeared in the animal world, and they are all edible. Every time Yang Fan goes to other worlds, he will pay special attention to the smell and taste of various plants, and he can distinguish them quickly.
These flavors are relatively easy to distinguish, but the elixir contains a hint of bitterness, and Yang Fan has never been able to find the corresponding formula.
After thinking hard for a long time, Yang Fan suddenly opened his eyes.
This taste should be like the bone marrow of an alien beast!
He had eaten anaconda meat before. When the tail bone was cut off, there was bone marrow seeping into the muscle. Yang Fan also ate it, so he was impressed by it.
However, the taste in the elixir residue is more bitter and stinky than the taste of ordinary exotic animal bone marrow.
This special smell is somewhat similar to the smell of the Life Eater.
The bone marrow of alien beasts and the life-eating ghost belong to two different realms. Logically speaking, there should be no connection between the two, but why do the elixirs contain these two flavors at the same time?
The answer is about to come out!
The last ingredient of the third-level beast spirit elixir is the rotten marrow of alien beasts!
