Chapter 118: Testing the Pill
Zhou Tianyang's face was full of surprise.
After reaching his level, his cultivation progress was very slow. To reach the thirteenth level of Qi Refining and impact the foundation building, it would take at least twenty years. After twenty years, he would be over seventy years old! With his qualifications, the possibility of impacting the foundation building in his seventies was pitifully small.
So after learning that Chen Luo was an alchemist, he immediately spent a lot of energy to purchase the recipe of "Explosive Spirit Pill" from other places, hoping to get some Explosive Spirit Pill through Chen Luo to improve the speed of his own practice.
Unexpectedly, only a few days had passed and Chen Luo had already refined the "Explosive Spirit Pill".
How could he not be happy about this?
"The elixir is of the first grade, and it has no elixir poison."
A hint of smugness appeared on Chen Luo's face, and his arrogance was almost exactly the same as that of the alchemists outside.
"It took me a lot of effort to refine this elixir."
"Thank you for your hard work, brother."
Zhou Tianyang's face was full of heat. As long as Chen Luo could refine the Explosive Spirit Pill, his future realm improvement would no longer be a problem. Maybe in his lifetime, he, Zhou, could also peek into the door of "foundation building immortal cultivation".
"It's a pity that it's not easy to refine the Explosive Spiritual Pill. Only this one was refined from so many spiritual herbs."
"What? All used up?!"
Zhou Tianyang's expression froze. Even as the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, he felt dizzy when he heard that all the herbs were burned. So many spiritual herbs, and you burned them all in one day?
It’s too expensive.
Alchemists are bottomless pits, making people hate and love them at the same time.
“In front of the great Dao, a little loss is nothing. If you can reach the thirteenth level of Qi Refining faster than others, the possibility of building a foundation will be much greater.” Chen Luo’s face showed a little displeasure, as if he was saying that Zhou Tianyang didn’t know the value of things.
“That’s the truth.”
Zhou Tianyang didn't dare to say much. There were many alchemists with strange tempers. He had finally made friends with an alchemist, so he naturally wouldn't turn against him over such a small matter.
Just the herbs
Zhou Tianyang's heart bleeds when he thinks of the losses.
That was his quota for three months. If he wanted to get more later, he would have to exchange it for resources.
“If big brother just wants some early and mid-stage pills like the Qi-Nourishing Pill and the Spirit-Gathering Pill, I can easily refine them, but what about the effects?” Chen Luo had a look of disdain on his face, as if he looked down on Zhou Tianyang’s pettiness.
"Explosive Spirit Pill, I must make the Explosive Spirit Pill!"
Zhou Tianyang's eyes turned red and he spoke through gritted teeth.
He is now trapped.
We have invested so much, we can't let it all go to waste, right?
No matter how big the loss is, it is better than having no hope! He has been in Mushan City for so many years. Isn't joining the Loose Cultivator Alliance just a hope? Now that hope is in front of him, it is naturally impossible to retreat.
"It's about this loss. Can you help control it a little bit? It's not easy to get these spiritual materials." Zhou Tianyang carefully made a suggestion in a negotiating tone.
"That's no problem. This was my first time refining the Explosive Spirit Pill, so the loss was a little higher. The next time I refine, there won't be so much loss. With ten portions of medicinal materials, I can at least refine one or thirteen Explosive Spirit Pills."
Chen Luo originally wanted to say one, but was afraid of scaring away Zhou Tianyang, the "investor", so he said two more.
"Three? No problem!"
Zhou Tianyang's mind became active.
If there are three, the profit will be high. If he reports it to the alliance, he will say that twenty portions of medicinal materials will be used for one explosive pill, so that he can get five kickbacks at a time. With this line, Zhou has a good chance of building a foundation!
"Then I'll trouble you, brother. I don't have any extra spiritual medicines now, so I can only sell this 'Explosive Spirit Pill' to exchange for spiritual materials." Chen Luo handed over the 'Explosive Spirit Pill' in his hand with a look of regret and reluctance on his face.
A first-grade Explosive Spirit Pill is still very valuable.
"Okay, I'll go back and make arrangements. I'll have someone deliver the spiritual materials tonight."
Zhou Tianyang took the pill, turned around and left in a hurry. He had no time to think about what he had come here for.
Now that he had obtained the Explosive Spirit Pill, he naturally had to go back and examine it carefully.
Return to the backyard of Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Tianyang went straight into the secret room and gave instructions to his men.
"I want to practice in seclusion. No one is allowed to disturb me unless it's important."
"yes!"
A group of masked men in black immediately responded, then quickly dispersed and blocked the area where Zhou Tianyang's secret practice room was located.
Outside.
Chen Luo appeared outside Zhou's house silently. He was standing on the roof of a restaurant next door. This distance allowed him to sense Zhou Tianyang in the secret room.
With the help of the casual cultivator Wan Ming's brain, Chen Luo's ability in gathering Qi improved by leaps and bounds. With the help of his foundation-building brain, he followed Zhou Tianyang all the way without the other party noticing anything.
Inside the secret room.
Zhou Tianyang opened the bottle and poured the pill into his palm. The round pill was warm to the touch and released a strong medicinal fragrance.
"Such a pure medicinal power."
Zhou Tianyang took a deep breath, his face full of intoxication. He had never thought of selling this 'Explosive Spirit Pill' that Chen Luo had asked him to sell since he got it.
Chen Luo could just find an excuse to ask the organization to replenish the spiritual materials he needed. He had contributed so much to the organization, so what was wrong with taking two pills?
"The pill is of the first grade. I didn't expect that Chen's pill refining skills are so high."
After observing the pill in his hand for a while, Zhou Tianyang stretched out two fingers, pinched the pill, and swallowed it in one gulp. He threw the pill bottle in his hand aside, and before he could practice the skills, the medicinal power exploded.
"It's worthy of being called the Explosive Spirit Pill. This medicinal power is so strong."
A few beads of sweat overflowed from Zhou Tianyang's forehead, veins on his face bulged, and the spiritual power in his body seemed to be ignited and burned violently.
"It's much more powerful than the Explosive Spirit Pill described by the alliance. It's worthy of being a first-grade pill!!"
The expression on Zhou Tianyang's face was distorted. The scorching hot spiritual power flowed through his body. Every circulation was as painful as a knife scrape. The most exaggerated thing was that he was completely unable to concentrate. He could only let the medicinal power flow through his body. He had completely forgotten about the skills.
One circle, two circles.
puff!!
Zhou Tianyang, who couldn't bear the pressure, spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood foam splashed on the wall. He couldn't hold on any longer, and hit his head against the wall next to him, then fell to the ground and rolled on the ground wailing. His clothes were torn into rags in the process, and he looked like a beggar, with disheveled hair and his hands constantly scratching his chest and abdomen.
"Isn't this the Explosive Spirit Pill?! How dare Chen Luo, you bastard, sell fake medicine!"
While struggling, Zhou Tianyang rolled on the ground, constantly greeting Chen Luo's entire family. His words were extremely fresh and pleasant to the ears.
“Not really!”
Chen Luo, who was secretly observing Zhou Tianyang, was full of doubts. He added a spirit-absorbing grass to this "Building Spirit Pill" and adjusted the following proportions of the medicine. At most, the efficacy of the medicine would change, but it would definitely not become a poison pill.
Half an hour later, Zhou Tianyang's greetings gradually became lighter and his movements became smaller.
The spiritual power circulated in his body for a hundred cycles before slowly fading away. As the power of the drug faded, Zhou Tianyang's rolling body finally stopped moving. Except for his legs that occasionally twitched, there was no reaction from other parts of his body. He looked like a bloody man, with ragged clothes and disheveled hair. His chest and back were all covered with blood marks. He collapsed on the ground, and no one knew if he was dead.
Chen Luo felt a little embarrassed seeing this scene.
It was not easy to find a supplier like County Magistrate Zhou, so he couldn't let him be cheated like this. Just when he was hesitating whether to go in and help Brother Zhou "keep the property", Zhou Tianwen, who was lying on the ground, suddenly turned over and sat up, and the expression on his face changed from anger to surprise.
"Hahaha!! Really! This Explosive Spirit Pill is real."
After sitting up, Zhou Tianyang's injuries gradually recovered, and his aura also broke through from the eleventh level of Qi Refining to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
This bottleneck that had held him back for more than seven years was successfully overcome under the effect of the Explosive Spirit Pill. The improvement brought by the realm breakthrough made him extremely excited. He even selectively ignored the painful experience when he took the pill before.
After stabilizing his state of mind, Zhou Tianyang's aura gradually calmed down. He simply combed his messy hair and began to sort out the gains from this retreat.
The reason why he was able to break through the barrier successfully this time, in addition to his seven years of accumulation, was the "Explosive Spirit Pill" given to him by Chen Luo. This pill used the most brutal and barbaric method to break his "perfection" and help him sort out the spiritual veins in his body. This led to the subsequent successful breakthrough.
"It must be that the quality of this Explosive Spirit Pill is too high, so this situation occurred."
Recalling the process of the breakthrough just now, Zhou Tianyang couldn't help but shudder. He didn't want to have that kind of experience again in his life. But when he thought of the possible hope of building a foundation later, he couldn't help but waver in his heart.
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with the pill, but it is a little difficult to digest."
Chen Luo, who was watching outside, quietly retracted his steps, a trace of regret flashing across his face.
He had just thought of the process of helping Brother Zhou to 'safeguard his property', but he didn't expect that he would come through again.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour and making sure that Zhou Tianyang had no hidden dangers, Chen Luo turned around and left.
With the help of his elder brother Zhou Tianyang, he knew the effect of the Soul Building Pill he had refined. The efficacy was definitely beyond doubt. It could allow Zhou Tianyang, who was at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, to break through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining. This kind of pill would definitely be a priceless treasure on the market.
As for the slight pain in the process of taking the medicine, Chen Luo thought it was completely negligible.
Which casual cultivator can’t bear this little bit of hardship?
After returning to his own courtyard, Chen Luo re-entered the alchemy room.
Following the previous method, he started refining the elixir again. This time, the elixir was refined very smoothly. Once you have experience, it will be much easier to refine it.
After hiding the remaining herbs, Chen Luo stood up and sealed the furnace.
The medicinal materials were definitely not used up. I told Zhou Tianyang that it was just a normal reimbursement process. These are habits accumulated from working on projects in my previous life. One should not forget his roots.
"How about I have one too?"
Looking at the pill in his hand, Chen Luo was slightly tempted. He had been stuck at the tenth level of Qi Refining for a while, and it was almost time for him to break through.
Holding the pill, Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and took one.
The pill melts in your mouth.
With Zhou Tianyang's example in front of him, Chen Luo naturally would not be foolish enough to resist. He had been prepared early in the morning, but he almost couldn't hold on. The moment the drug power exploded, all the spiritual power in his body was absorbed and started to work. Without him running the "Enlightenment Technique", the spiritual power worked on its own. The spiritual energy from the outside world forcibly broke the "perfection" in his body and began to add spiritual power into it.
"Is the drug so potent?"
Chen Luo finally understood why Zhou Tianyang was spurting blood.
After the tenth level of Qi Refining, the spiritual energy in the body gathers into a circle and enters a state of 'perfection'. The practitioner is in a state of 'mixed unity'. This 'perfect' state is forcibly torn open by the power of the elixir, allowing the spiritual energy from outside to flow in. The balance is naturally broken, and the practitioner is unable to react for a while, and naturally gets hurt.
pain!
Chen Luo really felt it. His head felt dizzy and he was completely unable to actively practice his skills.
Fortunately, he is different from Zhou Tianyang. In addition to his own brain, he has more than a hundred external brains.
The seven foundation-building brains plus the one hundred late-stage Qi-refining brains all became active at this moment and began to actively help him sort out the increased spiritual energy. Although there was still some swelling and pain, it was already within the normal range.
As the spiritual power circulated in circles, Chen Luo's aura also fluctuated. Finally, when he had practiced for a hundred circles, the realm in his body suddenly loosened and he succeeded in breaking through.
The eleventh level of Qi Refining!
