Chapter 236: You Handle It, Shadow!

Bai Xiaochun looked at the quivering black shadow, and then took out a purple jade pendant and said, "Go here!"

The shadow trembled again, then slowly floated to Bai Xiaochun. Now that he was in front of her, he could see the face inside the black fog.

With that, he reached out to grab it, only to find that his hand was passing through the mist. Apparently, the gargoyle did not actually have a physical body. Bai Xiaochun was now more interested than before.

"Gargoyle Blood Flow Sect and the evil ghost Spirit Flow Sect were the same in some ways. Ghosts come from the souls of the dead, but what about gargoyles? Where did they come from?" After pondering over the matter for some time, he was unable to come up with any theories. However, there seemed to be some connection between him and the gargoyle, something other than the jade control plaque that had been given to him by Nameless Peak.

Finally, he came to the conclusion that the gargoyle should have something to do with the giant hand and the Forever Technique of Eternal Life.

Even as Bai Xiaochun sat there in thought, the face in the mist suddenly turned into a ferocious expression, and the mist pounced on Bai Xiaochun.

The coldness of the ice spread out, a chill filled with a strong ferocity. It was almost as if it wanted to consume Bai Xiaochun's soul. The sudden explosion of the gargoyle shocked him so much that he unleashed the power of his cultivation base and flicked the thing.

Gargoyle let out a heartbreaking scream, and the fog faded a little. Having no other choice, hurriedly retreated to the corner where it remained, trembling.

"What do you have!" Bai Xiaochun said angrily. Stepping forward, he aimed a kick towards the shadow, which immediately dodged. Bai Xiaochun gave a cold harrumph and stared at the jade pendant. Not only could the pendant be used to control the gargoyle, the pendant also contained descriptions of the various punishments and rewards normally used to train them.

The most common method is to feed the blood of the gargoyle itself, which will strengthen the connection and also improve the ability of the gargoyle to understand the order.

As the gargoyle grows, and its cultivation base increases, it is also common to let it kill other things and drink their blood, which will also help the gargoyle grow stronger.

The description also mentions that if the gargoyle shows signs of error, it is important to destroy the behavior as quickly as possible. Rebellion efforts will only grow stronger until the gargoyle becomes impossible to control.

"You're trivial, a newborn gargoyle!" he said with anger. "How dare you try to bite the hand that feeds you!" With that, he used the jade pendant to lock the gargoyle in place, then walked over and kicked it several times. The mist of the gargoyle faded further, until only a little remained, where it began to let out a sad cry.

"You remember this," Bai Xiaochun said firmly. "I'm the top dog here. If you dare to provoke me, I will not hesitate to put you in your place. Hmph. Now, what should we call you? What about Shadow? ” After giving him a name, he ignored him, and focused on the medicinal formula that the blood ruler of Nameless Peak gave him.

"Eternal Blood Pill ..." he murmured seriously. He had heard of this pill before. It had been created many years ago by a patriarch who had gained the enlightenment of the Sacred Pill Wall Fragment. It had become one of the most useful spirit medicines in the entire Blood Flow Sect.

Not only can it produce spectacular results when upgrading gargoyles, it can help with the purification of corpses, as well as with the body refinement techniques of the Lesser Marsh Peak. As it had many different uses, the Undying Blood Pill had been in demand in the sect ever since it was first discovered.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to make. The tier-3 version is relatively easy, but the tier-4 version is not easy at all. When it came to tier-5 Undying Blood Pills, they were far beyond the usual ones, and could be used to summon some of the deepest backup power available in the Blood Stream Sect. Even tier-4 versions can be used to try to evoke some of the most ancient gargoyles.

The more Bai Xiaochun studied the medicinal formula, the more surprised he became. For that it required 97 types of medicinal plants, each of which contained many transformations that had to be suppressed with the water of the Heavenspan River. It even required spirit blood from the big hands. Only after all that would an Immortal Blood Pill be produced.

“Even the slightest error in the ratio of medicinal plants will result in failure. Furthermore, when it comes to combining plants, some aspects of the connection need to be neutralized, whereas some aspects need to be brought together. The result was that nine different streams of blood qi would be created!

“One flow of blood qi is tier-1 version, and so on. Nameless Peak's blood master wants me to make a level 4 Undying Blood Pill, which will contain four streams of blood qi! ” Bai Xiaochun's eyes glittered as he continued to study the formula. When he did, his admiration for the person who created him grew and grew.

“No wonder these pills are so hard to concoct. One flow of blood qi was a simple matter, but even just two required large amounts of augury and other calculations, along with outstanding skills in Dao medicine. Working with three streams of blood qi was even more complicated, about ten times more than two streams. And then four streams. That's almost ridiculous. Obviously, the only way to succeed is to use the All-Creation Plants and Vegetation techniques to simplify the problem! " Bai Xiaochun's eyes shone with a strange light. Clearly, concocting the Eternal Blood Pill in an ordinary manner was too difficult. The only option is to do things backwards!

After reaching this point in his thinking, Bai Xiaochun took out a pill furnace and some medicinal herbs, and began to familiarize himself with the concoction process. Instead of trying to succeed the first time, she decided to do a little testing first.

Time pass. Before long, half a month had passed. Bai Xiaochun had never stepped out of the immortal cave even once. He was completely immersed in his medicinal herbs. He would make many batches per day, and every time he ran out of blood stones, he would only ask for more. It was the same as medicinal plants.

It got to the point where medicinal plants were sent every day. Fortunately, the mountain peak had deep reserves. Bai Xiaochun became more and more familiar with the Immortal Blood Pill, however, as he did, he destroyed one batch of spirit medicine after another.

In the past, he would only throw away the destroyed spirit medicine, but this time, he hesitated, and looked to the gargoyle that was cowering in the corner.

"Eat," he said, looking in anticipation. The intelligence of the gargoyle was just beginning to develop, but he understood what was being said, and pounced on the medicinal pill. In a moment, the pill turned into black smoke which was quickly absorbed by the gargoyle.

"Wow, he ate it!" Bai Xiaochun was quite happy. From then on, he threw all the broken pills into the gargoyle. After absorbing the smoke from each pill, the gargoyle would burp loudly, and then laze to the side with a drunken expression on its face. Eventually, he will fall asleep.

"Ha ha ha! I'm so smart! These broken pills are of no use. ” After making sure that the gargoyle did not suffer any bad side effects, he felt more than ever that he had done something great. With that, he continued to make pills, looked at the gargoyle occasionally and threw the crushed pill. He's not stingy at all.

Time pass. Gradually, another half a month passed.

During that time, Bai Xiaochun made many pills, but every pill failed. Although he had gained enlightenment from All Creation Plants and Vegetation techniques, he was not familiar enough with them to use them consistently. Problems keep coming up. However, Bai Xiaochun had always found a way to deal with such a problem. Moreover, he did not dispose of the broken pills, but instead, gave them all to the gargoyle.

"I have nothing else to give you, just this pill that's been destroyed." Bai Xiaochun was actually quite happy with this situation. Cultivators could not take broken pills, but they did not seem to be harmful to gargoyles. In fact, gargoyles have grown quite a bit in the last month. Instead of looking like a small imp, he was now as big as a seven or eight-year-old child. Of course, he was pitch-black, and surrounded by a pulsating black mist.

The most important of all is that gargoyles already seem much smarter. Instead of being completely useless, he could now help Bai Xiaochun a little when given a simple command.

There were several times when he seemed reluctant to consume the destroyed pill, yet he did not dare to defy Bai Xiaochun's orders ….

On one occasion, Bai Xiaochun made a mistake, and could tell that the pill furnace was about to explode. He immediately retreated and exclaimed, "You handle it, Shadow!"

The shadow ran quickly and passed through the outside of the pill furnace. Once inside, he took a deep breath, absorbing all the spirit medicines. After which, he lay on the ground to the side, twitching, his eyes glazed over.

Bai Xiaochun made a clicking sound with his tongue, deeply impressed by the gargoyle's behavior.

"Not bad, Shadow, not bad." Excited, he continued with concocting. At one point, the pill furnace began to emit pulsating black smoke, which Bai Xiaochun knew would cause some sort of disaster, be it acid rain, diarrhea, hallucinations, or something else.

Again, he called out to Shadow.

"You handle it, Shadow!"

Shadow pounced, took a deep breath and sucked in all the smoke. Then he lay to the side while the smoke gnawed at his insides. If he had saliva, he would definitely foam in the mouth.

Bai Xiaochun was touched.

"Good job, Shadow. You are amazing! ” Bai Xiaochun was very excited, and had already decided that he needed to bring Shadow with him every time he concocted medicine. The shadows are absolutely incredible. Whether it was a crushed pill, a dangerous smoke, or an exploding pill furnace, he could solve all the problems that arose when dealing with the impurities in the pill ….

Bai Xiaochun was so immersed in his medicinal herbs that he did not see the spark of intelligence in Shadow's small eyes, which seemed to be the result of eating all the dirt. Normally, he hid it well, and always tried to seem confused and stupid in front of Bai Xiaochun.

At one point, Bai Xiaochun observed the failed batch that produced the mystery pill. He had no idea what the pills were doing, and was just about to put them in his bag, when he looked towards Shadow.

Blinking, he said, "You handle it, Shadow."

Vibration flowed through Shadow, but then he flew and took the pill. After consuming it, he threw himself to his side.
