Chapter 180

Qingming Shoudan is of the sixth grade.

Although each person can only take one pill in his lifetime, it can ignore the patient’s illness or injury and extend his lifespan by ten years. Countless strong people who are about to die and are stuck in a bottleneck are eager to take it, and they are willing to spend all their wealth to get one.

After all, what if…

Ten years is enough time to travel to hundreds of empires around and span hundreds of thousands of miles. During this time, there are countless opportunities and relics to be found. It is possible that one will encounter a few that can help with a breakthrough, successfully breaking through the realm and prolonging life.

“This elixir is a perfect match for the Life-Devouring Pill. Although it is expensive and consumes resources that even Dou Zun forces cannot afford, the fact that it can mass-produce Dou Wang powerhouses is already a miracle…”

Yao Lao held a ginseng-shaped herb in his hand. The green mist that rose from it was like a living thing, entwining and climbing along his half-real and half-illusory palm: “I don’t know how many people waste their entire lives just to become a fighting master. Even if they were given ten lifetimes, they would never reach this realm.”

There are not many things in this world that can allow people to ascend to heaven instantly. If you remove the bloodline of the Dou Emperor, there will be nothing left.

“It’s expensive? But the imperial clan shouldn’t mind, right?”

Xiao Yan flipped through the pages to look up the medicinal properties, and said intermittently: “Like those top Dou Sheng masters, a single move can stir up a tide of heaven and earth that spans a hundred thousand miles, with countless spiritual energy and Dou Qi energy changing at will. It is not difficult to produce sixth or seventh grade medicinal materials.”

If Yao Lao values ​​the efficacy of the medicine, then what Xiao Yan cares about is the reproducibility of this thing. As long as the conditions are sufficient, it can be turned into an industrial assembly line.

That’s an overwhelming army of Dou Wangs… In the future, they can at least be steadily promoted to Dou Huangs. In a corner of the continent like the Jia Ma Empire, it will be no problem for them to be the ruler of a country.

“Do you think this thing is a cabbage? The nature of fighting spirit is not gentle!”

Yao Lao snorted and threw the herbs in his hand into Xiao Yan’s arms: “Look at the Little Medical Fairy~ If your foundation is too poor and your talent is insufficient, you will go back to hell after taking the Life-Devouring Pill. The Qingming Longevity Pill can prolong your life, but it doesn’t mean it can repair your stretched and ruptured meridians.”

“——Do you understand now? Do you want me to demonstrate it to you first?”

This can reveal a ghost.

Xiao Yan wailed silently with his eyelids drooping. Without the guidance of the soul mark, this medicine book and the pill recipe looked similar to alchemy, full of weird operations that made no sense.

There is even something that drives the fighting spirit to hit the medicine cauldron twice before igniting it.

“Oh~ this one!”

As soon as Yao Lao poked his head out, he knew which page he was turning to: “Because Qingming Shoudan was created by a wandering expert, he often had to borrow or rent cauldrons, so before starting the fire, he would pat the slag a few times to prevent the previous person from cleaning it up.”

Just ignore it.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and suppressed his complaints: “This is really… full of truth…”

No wonder alchemists are so particular about the master-disciple relationship. If there is no one to guide you and you have to rely on yourself to figure things out, you will fall into a pit and won’t be able to climb out within three to five years.

“Okay, let’s get started!”

Xiao Yan took another look at the recipe as a last-minute effort, closed the book and prepared for the exam, while at the same time, he tore off the herbs that were stuck to his hand with a “swish”.

“…This thing is a bit weird.”

Xiao Yan rubbed his itchy fingers. The life force emanating from the herbs actually caused his flesh and blood to mutate slightly, and it began to grow on its own.

Perhaps, only this huge and pure energy can be borrowed from heaven for another ten years.

“Haha~ You’ll get used to it. Materials that have reached the sixth level have a tendency to develop spirituality. You’ll be exposed to a lot of weird things in the future.”

Yao Lao was surrounded by a thick white line of fire. “Go ahead and practice with confidence. If the situation gets bad, I will come to your rescue.”

It’s not that he really cares about Xiao Yan, but the main ingredient of this pill is in short supply, so he has to save as much as possible.

“The more you say this, the more uncertain I feel~”

Xiao Yan lit a fire to quench the medicine, and the various gases evaporating from the mouth of the cauldron brought out a rich aroma, and the areas of effect were also different. Inhaling it not only made one feel drowsy, but also stirred up the blood and qi.

“Human beings are the gathering of essence, energy and spirit. They replenish the three wonders and promote the rotation…”

“No wonder there are so many types of medicinal materials. The medicinal effects alone must be a fusion of four or five basic effects.”

Xiao Yan was a little shocked. He divided the pile of medicinal herbs poured into the cauldron into dozens of portions and smelted them separately. It was also thanks to his sufficient soul power that he was able to support the consumption equivalent to opening dozens of cauldrons at the same time.

“Xiao Yanzi, be careful…”

Yao Lao warned with some concern.

The various materials in hand now can only make six sets of medicinal materials. If any one is destroyed, he will be responsible for the rest of the refining.

……

“Are we just going to sit here and wait?”

Old Man He folded his arms, and his expression was the ugliest among the people present.

There was nothing he could do, because he had lived too long. He had served in this frontier for decades, and there were many slaves who had passed through the area. Who knew if he would be dragged out and chopped off when they were implicated?

“What else? If not sit and wait, what else can I do?”

Night Owl supported himself on the ground with his hands, his eyes full of confusion: “People are at the mercy of others…”

They are just three Dou Huangs. Others can put them in any posture they want. It’s up to them.

“Calculating the time… the court has already held two sessions.”

Yan Fu habitually kept a wooden face: “The father and son have probably already started to make a list. Who knows what the final result will be.”

Just wait for the result~
Can you still break out?
The Lion King seemed weak only because he fought against enemies of higher levels all the time. If we really talked about the ability to suppress low-level enemies, this monster with perfect numerical matching and mechanism could beat 20 to 30 Dou Huangs.

Most of the purple crystal seal will fall off with one sweep, so what is there to fight against?

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, a mysterious wave emerged in the silent mountains, and the fighting spirit in the air became active under this movement.

“Alchemist? He’s an extremely skilled alchemist!”

Old Man He raised his eyebrows and said, “If we only look at the intensity of this fluctuation, the quality of the pill we refined can be ranked in the upper sixth grade.”

The last time he saw someone who could refine elixirs of this quality was in the Black Horn Region.

And now… the person who is refining the elixir must be at least at the peak of the fifth rank, otherwise he would not even make it to the cauldron explosion stage and would be dead on the spot. According to the classification of the Jia Ma Empire, he is at least in the middle of the sixth rank.

“It should be that Dou Wang. With such strong soul power, it would be strange if he didn’t go to make medicine.”

A hint of jealousy flashed in Yan Fu’s eyes: “But why are young people so talented these days? Is all the nutrition of the entire Douqi Continent provided to this generation?”

It was fine in the past few decades, but recently geniuses are popping up like mushrooms after a rain.

“Hey~ This is fate!”

Night Owl turned his eyes to look at Xiao Yixian: “That girl is also a monster, but she can reach Dou Wang at the age of twenty, which is only a step behind that boy.”

Not only that, the two of them, one a poisoner and the other a medicine, seem to be a good match.

I guess they will be a perfect match in the future.

“puff!”

Medusa at the edge of her vision was still cutting her hands, constantly applying blood to the blade to temper it. Unfortunately, even if she performed all possible operations, she could not find a feasible tempering method.

“What are the conditions for refining weapons?” Medusa stared at the six words “Soul-Intertwining Objects” in her soul, and she really couldn’t understand what this thing meant.

Intimate? Companion time?
“But this sword has been with me for a hundred years. We have experienced countless battles, big and small. Even the soul of the Purple Nether Flame Snake has attached itself to it countless times… Can this not be considered as soul connection?”

Then what else can be worthy of this definition? It can’t be the Purple Nether Flame Snake that has been completely merged…

If that was the case, she really had nothing to say.

How can something that has been integrated into the body be easily separated? Instead of spending that time on practicing and improving your realm.

“so troublesome.”

Medusa stretched out her hand and brushed across the surface of the sword, evaporating the layers of blood.

She is unable to practice high-level skills yet, and is unable to learn the profound secret techniques. Now, only the Xuan-level and Di-level fighting skills that need to be learned slowly can help her.

It can only be said that this inheritance is indeed useful, but compared to the reputation of the ancient bloodline, the help it brings to her is too limited. It is even less than the bonus brought by opening the bloodline.

“Sometimes I really envy those who have a complete inheritance. They have countless references to physical constitutions and other information left by their predecessors, so they don’t have to slowly explore the possibilities themselves.”

Medusa put away her sword and glanced from a distance in the direction of Xiao Yixian.

If her premonition was correct, this girl’s future achievements would likely far surpass hers.

“Hey~”

The Little Medical Fairy, who was secretly watched by both sides, spread her hands flat upwards, and the poisonous Dou Qi in her body turned into an imperceptible column of smoke that floated upwards, supporting the Xuanzhong Ruler above her head and gently suspending it.

Although the invisible force field emanating from the ruler surface can suppress the flow of fighting spirit, it is somewhat powerless in the face of these densely packed trickling threads.

If they lose control, they will be directly recycled and replaced, which is equivalent to countless small tentacles continuously bombarding the ruler surface…

“It’s a bit consuming.”

Little Medical Fairy’s hands trembled slightly as she struggled to find her balance.

As her physical strength rapidly followed up, the effect of Xuanzhong Ruler on tempering Dou Qi was gradually reduced. After all, she could carry it around with her physical strength alone, and she would not use Dou Qi to resist it, so it didn’t matter even if she completely lost control.

If you forcibly control your fighting spirit to support it like you are doing now, the efficiency will naturally be much higher.

“boom!”

There was a loud bang and the shock wave spread throughout the mountains and fields. Several people present flew into the air and landed with a thud in an instant.

“state!”

There was one more sound from Little Medical Fairy’s side than from the others, and then there was no other movement.

……

“You really gave me a fright!”

Yao Lao was still holding the Black Demon Cauldron in shock. In a hurry, he threw out the Different Fire Barrier to wrap Xiao Yan tightly. “How can you just put in other attributes of Dou Qi when refining medicine? What on earth were you thinking just now!”

At the beginning, everything was going well, but as time went on, Xiao Yan seemed absent-minded, and all kinds of mixed fighting spirit began to be injected into the cauldron.

Fortunately, he led the violent energy away in time, otherwise Xiao Yan would still be in the sky waiting for a free fall.

“I don’t know… maybe I consumed too much fighting spirit, and my body naturally replenished it. It stimulated my blood vessels.”

Xiao Yan stuffed the pill into his mouth to restore his Dou Qi, and the wings that stretched out from his back slowly retracted: “I am indeed a little uncomfortable with the sudden growth of this thing. The meridians have an extra branch. I didn’t expect that there would be problems the first time I tried to refine the medicine.”

The wind blade mixed with bloodline attributes can be called a fuse, turning the pill-making process into an ignition countdown.

It is called an exploding cauldron, but if we really talk about its power, it is probably just a small fire lotus.

“puff!”

Xiao Yan tapped his fingers twice, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the Dou Qi that emerged turned into pure flames again: “Fortunately, I can recover… Teacher, how is the status of the pill.”

Everything else is fine, but don’t waste the medicinal materials.

“Hard to say.”

Yao Lao uncovered the flame at the mouth of the cauldron and found that the Qingming Shoudan inside had turned gray-brown, with its surface full of pits and holes like the moon. This was obviously the result of the pill-making process being forcibly interrupted.

It wouldn’t matter if it just didn’t look good, but looking at the fluctuations in the aura, I’m afraid the medicinal power inside has also been affected by the explosion.

“The feeling this thing brings to this old man is somewhat indescribable…”

It’s like it’s made of mud.

Yao Lao fished it out with some disdain. He hadn’t seen such a shameful pill for decades. “After this incident, the specific effect must be different… We now need a suitable drug tester to help.”

“Huh? Isn’t that something that is not recommended?”

Xiao Yan twitched his lips and said, “To put it in a more serious way, this thing should be classified as a drug slave. The Danta Convention clearly prohibits this.”

You can’t be the first to violate what is written in the Alchemist’s Code.

“Oh! Don’t you see who drafted the convention?”

Yao Lao glanced at him and said, “Even this one was added by me, just to prevent someone from taking advantage of the loopholes and secretly doing such evil things!”

“… “

Xiao Yan looked at him quietly.

If his eyesight was correct, he would know that there was someone taking advantage of the opportunity right in front of him.

“Hey! That… what I mean is that the regulations you are looking at are not complete, and our next actions do not violate the rules.”

“…Anyway, just remember this!”

Yao Lao waved his hands awkwardly and said, “The problem now is where to find an obedient and suitable experimental tool. If the other party is unwilling to cooperate and does not want to reveal the perception results, it will be difficult to determine what this thing actually does.”

The higher your cultivation level, the better; the stronger your patience, the better.

The best material is the kind that, even if the elixir is really harmful, he can ignore the complex medicinal power and resist the toxicity unharmed.

“Teacher… you are already referring to me by name, right?”

Xiao Yan sighed.

……

“Hey, hey~ How are you? Are you still breathing?”

Xiao Yan stretched out his hands and waved them in front of Little Medical Fairy twice, checking the condition of this dazed guy.

“I’m fine. Just a little…a little pain in my face.”

The Little Medical Fairy sat up suddenly with a grin on her face: “I strongly request to change a cultivation tool! That thing is too dangerous!”

If anything went wrong, the coffin lid would hit you in the face. If it hit harder, it would be like falling into the coffin and closing the lid.
