Chapter 100: Take Pills! Level Up!
Chen Yan seemed to have received an urgent message. He told Lin Bai to study the basics before leaving the Alchemist Association. Lin Bai sent him halfway up the mountain, but he did not return to the pill refining room the way he came. Instead, he went into the dense forest at the back of the mountain.
The spiritual energy here was not abundant compared to other places, so there were not many medicinal herbs planted here. There were not many people around. Presumably, no one would find him cultivating here.
Lin Bai thought of the medicinal pills that Fool Li had given him last time, so he decided to find a secluded place to take them. After all, if someone accidentally saw him, he wouldn’t be able to explain it even if he had a mouth.
He opened the medicinal pills, and a rich medicinal fragrance assailed his nostrils. His entire being was jolted, and even Little Green, Little Red, and Little Black had envious looks on their faces. They had an urge to give it a try.
Litte Red’s eyes and hands were quick. She took one from Lin Bai’s hand but was stopped by him. “You guys can’t eat it.”
It wasn’t that Lin Bai was stingy and didn’t want to give it to them. It was just that he had a cultivation imparting system. If these pills were given to him to swallow, the effects would be maximized and both parties would benefit from it.
Little Red reluctantly placed the pills in his hand. Lin Bai stroked the fiery red feathers. “Be good. I’ll impart my cultivation to you guys later.”
After comforting the three little ones, Lin Bai swallowed the pill. Immediately, a warm current surged into his dantian. It felt as if his entire body was thrown into a hot spring. Every pore on his body was opened, and spiritual energy continued to rush in and wash over him.
At the same time, there was also a feeling of sourness and swelling. It was the expansion outward of the meridians in his body by the spiritual energy. If Lin Bai’s meridians were like rivers, then this majestic spiritual energy was like an ocean. It even overflowed out of his body.
Golden qi began to float in the air. Wisps of spiritual energy like fireworks were blooming brightly and surrounded Lin Bai’s body. The spiritual energy was almost solidified.
Countless small specks of light scattered on the leaves beside him. The originally ordinary plants all gained a bit of spirituality. Beside them, Little Green and Little Red were already like wild horses that had gone off the reins, chasing after these lights and inhaling them into their stomachs.
Even the slow-moving Little Black could not help but poke its little head out and take one bite at a time. Although the overflowing spiritual energy was not as effective as directly swallowing a pill, it was better than nothing. The few of them were having a great time.
After Lin Bai had completely digested the effects of the pill, the golden light around him had mostly dissipated.

…
Green, red, and black lights streaked across the air one after another as the three of them floated in mid-air.
If someone were to stand at a high place at this moment, they would definitely notice that a divine light had suddenly appeared where Lin Bai was. The spiritual energy here had surpassed any location of the mountain. Unfortunately, it was fleeting.
The most important thing was that the small patch of sky had darkened. Large clouds were rapidly gathering and entrenched in the sky. They actually faintly formed the shape of a dragon. The dragon’s roar shook the mountain forest, and even the air became moist. Small drops of water fell on the tree branches.
It was as if a true dragon was casting clouds and rain.
Lin Bai watched as Little Green’s figure slowly grew. The two small horns on its head had also grown quite a bit. Although it still looked small and exquisite, it had doubled in size compared to before. At this moment, it was still not considered a true dragon. Its appearance was a little closer to that of a flood dragon.
The scales on its body became clearer and brighter, as if it was the sky after the rain. At the same time, they also became sharper and harder. Lin Bai reckoned that if he were to collect the scales that Little Green had shed, it could probably be able to be made into a decent offensive magic artefact.
A clear cry could be heard, as if it was the gentle cry of a young phoenix.
The red light in the air intensified, and even the temperature seemed to have risen by a lot. With Little Red as the center, it seemed as if a small sun was slowly rising.
The huge flame quickly devoured Little Red, and the outline of a bird could be vaguely seen. It flapped its wings, and the flame seemed to have an extremely spiritual nature as it slowly retracted and attached itself to the two sides of its wings.
The bird seemed to have been born from the flames of the Sun, and even its wings seemed to be in the shape of flames. Lin Bai noticed that Little Red’s body was much larger than before.
Most importantly, there were a few new feathers growing on its tail feathers. The newly grown feathers were extremely gorgeous. Golden and red light interweaved together, as if a flame had been branded on them. They were dazzling and eye-catching.
Little Red’s pupils were red and slightly black. The black color in its pupils was gradually receding and was changing towards red. It was like a ruby that had not yet been carved. Now, it was just beginning to show its glory.
Its neck had also become thinner and longer. When it spread its wings, it brought along a hot air current. The surging flames seemed to be able to burn everything. Little Red now looked like a Vermillion Bird.
The one who had changed the most should be Little Black.
After all, Little Black came the latest and its cultivation level was also the lowest. In order to not let it lag behind Little Green and Little Red too much, Lin Bai had already imparted it many times. This time, it was also the one who had been imparted cultivation the most.
Its body grew a lot bigger, and its turtle shell became thicker and heavier. It was covered with ancient patterns. Lin Bai looked at it carefully. It was crisscrossed and scattered, and it was distributed in a very regular manner. It gave people the feeling that it was like a map.
The more Lin Bai looked at it, the more he felt that it was similar. However, the edges of the shell became a little blurry, and the patterns stopped there. He guessed that when the next evolution came, the patterns would extend over, and he should be able to see it more clearly then.
He tried to move Little Black, using spiritual energy. Lin Bai was immediately dumbfounded. Although Little Black had become a lot bigger, its weight far exceeded its image.
If he threw Little Black out, those who were not on guard would very likely be severely injured.
Lin Bai tried to use Little Green’s previous scales to scratch the back of the turtle. He couldn’t even leave a mark. It was enough to show that the defense of Little Black’s turtle shell was enough to block a grandmaster’s attack.
Little Black had also learned a very practical skill. It used its own body as its domain and opened up a protective shield. All the creatures inside, including itself, would not be harmed.
It could be used for both offense and defence. It could also be used as a hidden weapon. It could even hide in the face of danger. This was simply too convenient. It was equivalent to Lin Bai having another life-saving skill. It would work wonders at critical moments.
