Staring at the black elixir, Shen Lian could not help but let out a sigh, “The Pure-Hearted Yang Elixir from Xuanzhen Temple and the Recovery Elixir from Dajue Temple were both the best medicine. It was said that, no matter how bad the injury, once one had there two elixirs, it would guarantee a survival of ten days. Based on the level of my generation’s practitioners, if no cure were found within ten days, the injury might take ten months or even years to recover. Hence, these two elixirs were valuable. Having said that, these two Elixirs were still inferior to your elixir.”
Shen Lian’s appraisal brought Wen Zhong to smile. “You were right. The Recovery Elixir and Pure-Hearted Yang Elixir did not justify Dragon Tiger Ruyi Elixir. Everyone could take these elixirs but only people like you are able to consume my elixir,” said Wen Zhong.
Leisurely, Shen Lian said, “Indeed. When a thing reached its extreme, it reversed its course. Judging by the name, the ‘dragon’ and ‘tiger’ elements meant that this elixir was a strong supplement. However, the Ruyi element may not be on par to complement the strong elements. My bet is that you were not sure about the effects of the elixir and dare not try it out.”
The conversation ended with Shen Lian giving Wen Zhong a look.
As Wen Zhong looked into his eyes, he thought, “The honored master said that I was born with a vision that could distinguish the authenticity of a person. Nonetheless, Shen Lian’s glance is fiery. It seemed that he might be a level above me. The world is huge and there exist different people with special powers. No surprise that the honored master advised me to make friends, not to glorify my roots and not to provoke trouble.”
Admittedly, Wen Zhong was born with a strange ability to be able to differentiate the good and the evil. Noticing that Shen Lian possessed no malicious Qi, he knew that Shen Lian was a good person on the right path. Hence, the conversation took place. As for the issue of the elixir, Shen Lian was right. However, it was certain that he had no intentions to try the elixir on Shen Lian. It was just a test to gauge Shen Lian’s ability.
Wen Zhong bowed slightly and defended, “Brother, your perception was precise. I apologized for my behavior. This elixir was just a tool to test your ability. For my mistake, please accept this other celestial elixir. There is no issue with this one. Please take it with confidence.”
Before he could end his sentence, a breeze struck and the elixir fell on Shen Lian’s palm.
Wen Zhong said, “Brother, what were you doing? That is the defected medicine. Even if you did not notice it, I would have taken it back regardless.”
Shen Lian motioned Wen Zhong to be patience. On one hand, the black elixir was on his palm while the other hand summoned a mark. A pure white flame emerged and it immediately turned green. Soon, it became red, transformed into a lotus-like figure flame and gradually moved towards the black elixir.
Wen Zhong was shocked. What was the origin of this man? He could actually summon the True Samadhi Fire.
Initially, he wanted to prevent Shen Lian from taking this elixir. As he saw True Samadhi Fire, he decided to go against it. The True Samadhi Fire was also known as the Ultimate Fire. It had the ability that no ordinary people could think of. If The fire was to use in the making of weapons and elixirs, the result could be enhanced.
Although Shen Lian’s true fire was not pure and precise, it was sufficient to refine and complete the process of making the Dragon Tiger Ruyi Elixir.
The flames were like the dragon and snake, circulating the Dragon Tiger Ruyi Elixir. Immediately, the black elixir was like a coal that turned red and gradually transparent under the pressure of high temperatures.
Using his strong Primordial Spirit, he was able to observe and steadily control the amount of flame entering the elixir. The flame removed the impurities, improving the substance of the elixir.
The whole process occurred within a few minutes. As Wen Zhong was concentrating on his movements, he was impressed by Shen Lian’s control over the fire that was mysterious and unrestrained.
It was a pity that his mana and supernatural power were extraordinary but his control over of his Primordial Spirit was weaker. Therefore, it would not be easy for him to learn from Shen Lian.
Finally, a translucent, red rhombus-shaped elixir appeared on Shen Lian’s hand. It gave off a hint of fragrance. In a sudden, the vegetation around it began to grow wildly and the leaves that had been eaten by the Pegasus had sprouted in a short while.
Wen Zhong sighed and uttered, “Your ability is not inferior to the Art of Creation.”
Shen Lian replied, “You are too kind. If you did not create the base of the elixir, I would not be able to refine it. Nonetheless, I would not be returning this elixir to you; would you be fine with that?”
Wen Zhong laughed and said, “This is merely worldly possession. You can rest assured that the elixir would be able to condition your body.”
Shen Lian responded, “Thank you for giving me this Dragon Tiger Ruyi Elixir.”
Listening to Shen Lian’s reply, Wen Zhong felt that Shen Lian was a modest gentleman. Having mastered an earth-shattering ability, Wen Zhong naturally had lofty ambitions. Hence, naturally, he was keen to make friends with men who are clean and unconventional like Shen Lian.
However, Wen Zhong was dumbfounded by Shen Lian’s actions. Shen Lian did not take the elixir but handed it to the Pegasus. Overjoyed, the Pegasus swallowed the crystal red elixir without hesitation. Feeling that the elixir was gone to a waste, Wen Zhong looked distressed.
To make matters worse, Shen Lian asked the horse’s opinion on the taste of the elixir. It replied like a human, “It was a little sweet.”
Shen Lian patted the Pegasus’s head. Both of its horn was growing rapidly and its head already had the form of a dragon.
Wen Zhong asked, “Why don’t you take it for yourself?”
Shen Lian replied earnestly, “I appreciate your kindness but it had been awhile since I was injured. Hence, I would like to take this moment to experience it.”
Taken aback, Wen Zhong did not know how to respond to him.
Shen Lian got up to the Pegasus’s back and greeted him, “Farewell my friend, till we meet again.”
After that, the Pegasus spread its wing and flew into the clouds. As the Pegasus just took the elixir, the power within was just waiting to explode. Hence, Shen Lian was taking the Pegasus out for a ride, in the hope of soothing the Pegasus for better absorbent of the elixir.
With the help of Dragon Tiger Ruyi Elixir, the Pegasus’s chance of becoming a dragon might be higher.
As Wen Zhong was watching, he came to the realization that he forgot to ask for his name.
Then again, Wen Zhong’s apprentice knew Shen Lian. He could just look for his apprentice in the Diqiu and asked him about Shen Lian. There was no chance that his apprentice would not remember someone like Shen Lian.
Riding on a black Qilin, Wen Zhong arrived at the gate of Diqiu City swiftly. Then, he went to a secluded spot and transformed himself into a walking business traveler. He shouldered some goods and strolled into the Diqiu City. As for the black Qilin, it turned into a black dog and followed its owner.
