The world of Shenyun.
On the gobi desert.
An oasis was like a touch of green in the withered yellow, or like a jadeite on the desert, dotting the landscape.
At this moment.
Dozens of ninth-tier humans were hunting with the oasis as the center.
They hunted in teams, with Lin Yu's clones watching from the surroundings, ensuring no danger.
After all, he had killed all the demigod-level fierce beasts in this area, and as long as they didn't encounter any demigod-level fierce beasts, their strength would be no threat.
Yan Jun had already obtained a suitable divine crystal. He then used earth-elemental skills to create a three-bedroom, two-living-room dwelling and entered it to meditate and comprehend the divine crystal.
Lin Yu was filled with anticipation. After all, Yan Jun was among the most talented of the billions of humans, and his comprehension was not to be underestimated. Even a divine crystal dropped by a ninth-tier fierce beast might allow him to quickly comprehend the Law of Fire and become a demigod.
At this time.
Lin Yu's nine thousand clones were working together. One thousand clones were refining Blood and Flesh Pills in the oasis, while the other eight thousand clones were scattered around, hunting and transporting the corpses of fierce beasts for the thousand clones to refine Blood and Flesh Pills.
"Refine!"
Shouts of "Refine!" echoed, and a thousand clones began to refine pills together, quickly turning thousands of fierce beast corpses into Blood and Flesh Pills.
Opening the pill furnace, a red glow rose, and plump seventh-tier Blood and Flesh Pills appeared inside.
The clones immediately put away the Blood and Flesh Pills, and then other clones took them to Lin Yu in the cave. After that, the other clones continued to refine pills.
Thus, furnace after furnace of pills were refined, and the number of pills in Lin Yu's small world grew.
Time flew by, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day.
Lin Yu suddenly had an epiphany and laughed heartily, "I have comprehended the eighth level of the 'Void Alchemy Art'!"
"Start refining eighth-tier Blood and Flesh Pills!"
In fact, the fierce beasts nearby were mostly seventh-tier and above. If he used the corpses of eighth-tier fierce beasts to refine seventh-tier pills, it would clearly be a waste of some of their flesh and blood power. Now that his alchemy level had broken through, he could utilize the energy of the fierce beast corpses more efficiently.
Therefore, he began to refine eighth-tier Blood and Flesh Pills.
Soon, Lin Yu took out the eighth-tier Blood and Flesh Pills and began to use Life Absorption to consume them and enhance his strength.
After consuming them, he was overjoyed because the effect was at least five times stronger than that of seventh-tier Blood and Flesh Pills.
Lin Yu was delighted and focused on continuing to use his Life Absorption talent, his strength increasing bit by bit.
After a long while, he rubbed his throbbing temples and said with some helplessness, "This Life Absorption talent is already SS-class, but using it for too long still causes my temples to ache."
"By the way, I wonder if my current strength allows me to continue absorbing the power of a divine corpse?"
When his second talent, Life Absorption, reached SS-class, he awakened an ability called the Nest of Life, which could store the corpses of deceased beings. He had obtained this divine corpse in the country of Chuyun, and after absorbing it once, he could no longer absorb it. He wondered if he could absorb it now.
Lin Yu fell into deep thought.
"Forget it, let's give it a try!"
He injected his consciousness into the Nest of Life and saw a huge corpse suspended within.
Lin Yu silently chanted, "Life Absorption!"
The next moment, a massive suction force appeared above the Nest of Life.
Hum!
With a slight hum, wisps of subtle life force emerged from the divine corpse and were drawn into the vortex above.
As these forces were absorbed into the vortex, Lin Yu's strength also rapidly increased.
Increased by 10%!
By 20%!
When it reached 30%, he could no longer increase it.
"Only 30%!" Lin Yu muttered with some dissatisfaction, "System, upgrade my second talent: Life Absorption!"
"Ding, it is detected that the second talent for speed is already SS-class. Further advancement will bring new characteristics. Do you wish to upgrade?"
"Yes!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth.
He now had human clones and believed he could break through to the demigod realm without relying on the system, so he gritted his teeth and used some upgrade points to enhance Life Absorption.
"Ding, Life Absorption talent upgrade successful! Level is SS+."
"Ding, your talent: Life Absorption has broken through the human limit, and you have obtained new characteristics!"
"Please choose the option you are most satisfied with from the three options."
"Option One: Infinite Absorption: The absorption intensity of your Life Absorption talent is doubled."
"Option Two: Infinite Range: The absorption range of your Life Absorption talent is doubled."
"Option Three: Infinite Space: The space of your Nest of Life is doubled."
"Please make your choice!"
Lin Yu fell into deep thought.
The upgrade of his second talent, like upgrading his talent clones, presented the same situation.
The three directions represented three different development paths.
For example, the first option was to increase the intensity of absorption. If he chose this, his absorption speed would become faster, and he would be able to absorb things he couldn't absorb before, such as divine corpses.
The second option, to expand the absorption range, meant that if he could only absorb one Blood and Flesh Pill at a time before, he could now absorb two. This was an increase in efficiency.
The third option was to increase the space of the Nest of Life. This option was interesting, but it was not very useful to him at the moment. After all, he already had a small world, and in the future, he could completely place corpses in his small world. This Nest of Life was somewhat redundant for him.
"System, I choose the first option!" After much deliberation, Lin Yu still chose the first option.
"Ding, you have made your choice. Your absorption intensity has been doubled."
The next moment, a faint light flashed on his body, and then he absorbed the divine corpse again.
Hum!
After a slight hum, he gained 20% more strength and could no longer absorb anything.
"It's a little better than nothing, but at least the absorption speed has also increased by 30%."
"Continue absorbing Blood and Flesh Pills."
At this time, his strength had increased by more than 50% compared to the beginning, and the strength of his clones had doubled, already approaching the realm of a demigod.
Two more days passed.
Lin Yu suddenly opened his eyes and laughed heartily, "Ninth-tier Blood and Flesh Pills have also been refined!"
Soon, the refined ninth-tier Blood and Flesh Pills were delivered to his hands.
Ninth-tier Blood and Flesh Pill: Consuming a ninth-tier life form can increase strength by ten thousand jin! Only the first pill is effective!
Lin Yu swallowed it without a word. A stream of heat circulated within his body, and his strength increased by ten thousand jin.
"Although the effect is very weak, for other ninth-tier powerhouses, this is definitely a divine pill!"
"Let them have some!"
Lin Yu ordered his clones to send the ninth-tier Blood and Flesh Pills to Elder Ge and the others.
