Absorbing a spiritual beast's spirit core directly is, in fact, a very dangerous practice.

The immense primordial power contained within the spiritual beast's spirit core is also fraught with the violent nature of the beast itself. If one is not careful, they are likely to lose control of the primordial power, leading to an explosion and death.

It is only because Ye Lingyue has the Qian Cauldron that she can be so bold without fear.

Stepping into the Innate realm signifies that Ye Lingyue's cultivation has advanced yet another step, leaving her only one Martial Realm apart from the Ye Family's genius, Hong Mingyue.

After regulating her breath for a while, and just as day was breaking, Ye Lingyue finally rose to her feet.

She picked up the Dragon Saliva Needles that had fallen to the ground.

The Primal Power of the eighth-stage Bloodthirsty Lion King has directly shattered the Dragon Saliva Needles.

The previously smooth needle tip has also broken off.

The Dragon Saliva Needle was refined by Ye Lingyue when she first became an Alchemist. At that time, both her spiritual power and artifact refining abilities were quite weak, so it was not a perfect result in itself.

Now that Ye Lingyue has successfully broken through to the Innate realm, and her spiritual power has reached the level of a Sixth Rank, using needles made when she was a First or Second Rank to refine the Dragon Saliva Needle clearly cannot keep up with her strength.

Therefore, Ye Lingyue decided to refine the Buddhist Sect's Iron Certificate, which contained the Little Infinite Finger, in order to strengthen the Dragon Saliva Needle.

Only a fool would actually use the Meteorite Iron-made Elixir Book Iron Scroll for worship.

She took out the Elixir Book Iron Scroll, and with a motion of her hand, the Cauldron Seal turned into the Little Black Cauldron, sucking the Iron Scroll into the Qian Cauldron.

After a short while, the Iron Scroll within turned into molten iron.

Ye Lingyue controlled the Qian Cauldron with her right hand, the Cauldron Breath quickly melting the Elixir Book Iron Scroll, while her left hand directed the molten iron, fusing it with the Dragon Saliva Needle like casting.

Dragon Saliva Iron and Meteorite Iron, two well-known metals on the mainland.

Initially, they did not fuse and even repelled each other.

But under the dual action of the Cauldron Breath and spiritual power, the molten iron eventually merged with the Dragon Saliva Needle.

Based on the size of the Elixir Book Iron Scroll, Ye Lingyue finally decided to transform the Dragon Saliva Needle into a dagger.

The molten iron was continuously drawn and hammered, changing from a needle shape to that of a dagger.

"Transform into dagger."

With a roaring cry, the Meteorite Iron and Dragon Saliva Iron finally fused perfectly together.

A new dagger the size of a palm appeared before Ye Lingyue's eyes.

Dragon Saliva plus Meteorite, named Star Saliva.

Unlike the earlier golden Dragon Saliva Needle, this newly refined "Star Saliva" sparkled with starlight, resembling the tear glimmers beneath the long eyelashes of a seductive beauty—charming, yet laden with deadly danger.

With a thought from Ye Lingyue, the Star Saliva Dagger suddenly split into six, and with a whoosh, the air was instantly torn apart.

In midair, the "Star Saliva" traveled at lightning speed, cutting through the sky without a sound.

Ye Lingyue had an idea and took out a piece of Refined Xuantie Ore from Hong Meng Heaven, tossing it towards the Dragon Saliva Dagger.

Nearly ninety percent of the refined Xuantie, upon merely touching the "Star Saliva", instantly exploded into powder.

The new Star Saliva Dagger is at least three times faster than the Dragon Saliva Needle and its lethality is even more astonishing.

Ye Lingyue believed that if she faced the Bloodthirsty Mad Lion King again, this time, she would be able to chop off its head with a single strike of the dagger.

While Ye Lingyue was still immersed in the joy of acquiring a new weapon, a sound came from the Qian Cauldron, and it spat out another item.

Ye Lingyue looked carefully and discovered it was a yellowed piece of reeds paper, still stained with iron from the refining of the Meteorite Iron.

It was clearly a result of refining the Elixir Book Iron Token just now. Filled with curiosity, Ye Lingyue picked up the reeds paper to have a look.

Strangely, the script on the Elixir Book Iron Token itself was engraved in ancient Sanskrit, yet the text recorded on this reeds paper was written in the common language of the mainland.

"Reincarnation Elixir!"

When Ye Lingyue made out these few characters, her pupils constricted sharply.

Within the Elixir Book Iron Token, there was actually a hidden Elixir Recipe for the Reincarnation Pill.

All Alchemists knew the importance of an Elixir Recipe.

Even if it's the same Reincarnation Elixir, as long as the recipes differ, the refined Reincarnation Pills produced would also be different.

The thin piece of reeds paper suddenly gained the weight of a thousand catties.

Even though the Hong Meng Fang Immortal was a renowned Alchemist of his generation, the Reincarnation Elixir was not recorded in his Hong Meng Notebook.

Ye Lingyue recognized the Reincarnation Elixir, all thanks to Alchemist Mei of the Imperial Hospital.

The one thing that Alchemist Mei had set her heart on and wished to refine was the Reincarnation Elixir.

However, without the Reincarnation Elixir Recipe, relying solely on Alchemist Mei's own refining skills, even if her hair turned white, it would still be highly unlikely for her to create the Reincarnation Elixir.

"Who would have thought, this Elixir Book Iron Token actually holds the Buddhist Sect's secret technique for refining the Reincarnation Elixir. It seems the second person in Daxia capable of refining the Reincarnation Elixir is about to emerge," Ye Lingyue said, holding the Elixir Recipe, with unceasing wonder in her eyes.

Naturally, the one to refine the Reincarnation Elixir wouldn't be Ye Lingyue, but Alchemist Mei.

For one, Ye Lingyue did not possess the materials needed to refine the Reincarnation Elixir; secondly, Ye Lingyue wasn't sure whether this Elixir Recipe was authentic or not.

Lately, Ye Lingyue had been assisting Alchemist Mei with Alchemy.

She found that aside from being a bit stubborn, Alchemist Mei's alchemy skills and character were beyond reproach.

If there was someone in the Imperial Hospital who could replace Chief Chou as the head, that person would definitely be Alchemist Mei.

Ye Lingyue transcribed the Elixir Recipe and then proceeded into the palace.

As expected, early in the morning, Alchemist Mei was already in the public Alchemy Room.

When Ye Lingyue entered, Alchemist Mei was looking worriedly at the residue being poured out from the Pill Furnace; undoubtedly, another batch of Elixir Pills had been ruined.

Seeing Ye Lingyue, Alchemist Mei stopped what she was doing and smiled.

Ye Lingyue and Alchemist Mei were only seven or eight years apart in age. Both were considered prodigious talents in the field of Alchemy.

In the almost one month that had passed, the two had gone from strangers to seamless collaborators.

To Alchemist Mei, Ye Lingyue truly lived up to her reputation as a disciple of Master Long Yu; her selection of Medicinal Grass and the Purification process were both superior to any new Alchemist that Mei had encountered.

"Your timing is perfect, I was just about to tell you that I want to recommend you to Chief Chou. Your abilities are sufficient for you to refine Elixirs independently," Alchemist Mei might look simple-minded, but in fact, she was the fairest of them all.

With the month coming to a close, she didn't want Ye Lingyue to be burdened by her and to be rushed to the Outer Academy.

"Alchemist Mei, I've always wanted to ask you, why are you so determined to refine the Reincarnation Elixir? With your strength, you're far superior to everyone else in the public Alchemy Room, including Alchemist Xue," Ye Lingyue had witnessed Alchemist Mei's alchemy abilities.

Though she was a Sixth-rank Alchemist, in terms of Alchemy skills, her strength was no less than those so-called Seven-rank and Eighth-rank Alchemists.

Without the help of the Qian Cauldron, her own alchemy skills would not compare to Alchemist Mei's.

This question had been asked by many to Alchemist Mei.

But she had never spoken of it in front of others, and for some reason, she suddenly felt the impulse to speak up today.

In the Imperial Hospital, everyone thought that Alchemist Mei's goal to refine the Reincarnation Elixir was out of lofty ambition, but only she knew that she wanted to refine the Reincarnation Elixir not for her own fame, but to fight for a breath of dignity.
