Chapter 538 Pain Relief Solution
Just do it!
Zhong Cai has always been a man of action. Basically, whatever he wants to do, he almost never fails to do it—and the word "almost" implies that there's still a long way to go, so we can't be too sure.
So he went straight into the ancient city and began to ponder it.
Ultimately, we'll have to undergo the painful simulation...
Although Zhong Cai herself was unaware of the extent of the pain, when the time came, she could simply have the simulation room simulate Fang Hua's primordial soul experiencing the pain of being split in two.
With this in mind, Zhong Cai began researching a medicinal liquid that would be harmless to the Yuan Soul but would cause intense pain.
It's easy to suffer pain, but it's quite difficult to avoid harm as well.
Zhong Cai devoted himself to research, and suddenly countless kinds of medicinal materials that could be combined in various ways appeared on his hands. His mind was also like a storm, with many ideas emerging.
Each approach seems imperfect, but upon closer examination, it appears that many of them can be combined and complement each other...
In this way, Zhong Cai spent three or four hours and finally managed to produce a medicinal liquid.
Immediately, Zhong Cai had a thought.
In an instant, a clear primordial spirit belonging to Fang Hua appeared not far away.
Fang Hua's face was contorted with pain. Upon closer inspection, one could see that his primordial spirit was trembling slightly, clearly indicating that he was in great distress.
—Experiencing the pain of a split soul is not a true simulation of a split soul.
Zhong Cai had another idea.
Lying next to the "Painful Fang Hua" was another Fang Hua primordial spirit, identical in appearance but in a quiet state without any split soul.
Doesn't this allow for comparison?
Zhong Cai carefully placed a drop of the medicinal liquid onto the primordial spirit of "Quiet Fang Hua".
"Bang!"
The quiet house of Hua is shattered!
Zhong Cai paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the liquid medicine in her hand.
Uh... was the drug too strong?
So, Zhong Cai simulated another complete Fang Hua primordial spirit and applied the medicinal liquid to it again.
This time the amount is very small, about one-tenth of the previous drop.
...Very good, Fang Hua's primordial spirit has held on.
However, the reactions produced by Fang Hua's primordial spirit and the "split soul in pain" are still different. It is obvious that the former is not as painful as the latter.
Therefore, we need to gradually increase the dosage of Zhong Cai...
And so, Zhong Cai began to try things out little by little.
Gradually, he discovered that when it was exactly half a drop, Fang Hua's soul pain was almost the same as the pain of a split soul, and increasing the amount of medicine would further increase the pain.
Zhong Cai changed the simulated pain endured by the primordial spirit to twice the pain of soul separation, three times the pain of soul separation...
Anyway, it's still increasing little by little.
It was because the simulated spirit gradually adapted that it did not collapse instantly.
However, only in the initial stage will increasing the pain with the addition of the medicine. When the pain reaches five times that of the soul-splitting pain, it can no longer increase the pain. At this point, even if Fang Hua's primordial soul is soaked in this medicine, it will not cause any more pain.
This proves that the medicinal liquid that Zhong Cai is currently researching is insufficient to fully temper Fang Hua.
Zhong Cai stroked her chin, continuing to ponder.
We need to intensify the pain... Let's get some new potions that will cause even more pain, and that won't conflict with the ones we have now.
In the future, two or more types of medicine solutions can be used alternately.
We must train Fang Hua properly!
·
Zhong Cai's talent is indeed remarkable. When one approach is going smoothly, he can quickly find the most crucial part and discover new paths when considering other approaches.
Before long, Zhong Cai successively developed two kinds of medicinal liquids.
The first method now causes up to five times the pain, and the second method, when used immediately afterward, can cause up to nine times the pain.
Only after using the third type could the dosage be increased tenfold—and just in case, if this type was also increased, the pain could increase further, until the dosage was increased twelvefold before the medication lost its effectiveness!
Zhong Cai looked at the various medicinal liquids in her hand, pondering her previous attempts and the countless times she had watched Fang Hua's primordial spirit collapse...
At this moment, he was full of confidence.
It won't go wrong.
When the actual trial begins, to help Fang Hua adapt, the dosage of the medication will be less than during the experiment.
He will definitely... no, Fang Hua will definitely succeed!
The same applies to other elemental spirits.
·
Fang Hua's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the ominous liquid in the young alchemist's hand opposite him.
It's truly an ominous sign.
The medicine was contained in a transparent, narrow-necked bottle with a soft opening that was only slightly thicker than a hair.
Its color was indistinguishable, whether it was bluish-purple or cyan-black, or perhaps a sinister rust red or dark red, mixed with some strange and indescribable colors, all mixed together.
Each color seemed to emit a wisp of smoke, which intertwined and mixed together... turning into a dark cyan-purple with blood streaks, as if someone had been beaten and swollen.
Even more frightening is that when this mixture of smoke and liquid falls down and lands on the surface of the liquid, it creates a lot of bubbles.
The bubbles burst rapidly, sending up wisps of black smoke—if you open the small stopper on the bottle, black smoke billows out!
No matter how I look at it, I just can't stand it.
It feels like poison.
·
After noticing Fang Hua's gaze, Zhong Cai remained calm and composed, her attitude completely at ease.
It's a bit ugly.
To be honest, when he first got it sorted out, he thought it was a wizard stirring up a cauldron.
But after looking at it for a while, it gets quite pleasing... well, it's still not pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, its ugliness is merely its most insignificant "flaw".
Zhong Cai's mind raced with all sorts of thoughts, and she just wanted to talk to the person next to her.
Unfortunately, there was no one around.
Zhong Cai's mood immediately became somewhat dejected.
ah.
He forgot again that Old Wu wasn't there.
Old Wu is on the battlefield.
I don't know how long the fight will last.
I miss Lao Wu so much.
Zhong Cai felt even more uncomfortable.
At this moment, Fang Hua's trembling voice rang out: "King Zhong Dan has considered things very carefully, so I will try my best to hone my skills."
Zhong Cai then came to her senses and looked at Fang Hua across from her.
Upon closer inspection, he couldn't help but notice Fang Xiao's worried expression.
Fang Xiao was still very nervous. He opened his mouth, but hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
After a long silence, he finally uttered a short word: "Young Palace Master..."
Fang Hua sighed softly, looked at Fang Xiao, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Ah Xiao, I am no longer the young palace master."
Fang Xiao stubbornly shook his head.
In his heart, Fang Hua will always be the young master.
Originally, he should still be the Palace Master in his heart, and as long as the young Palace Master is willing in the future, he can still be the Palace Master.
This time, it was Zhong Cai's turn to have her lips twitch.
Zhong Cai: You call yourself the Young Palace Master? More like the Palace Master of Love! I don't think you two are exactly innocent!
For a moment, Zhong Cai missed his husband, Lao Wu, again.
I've thought of Lao Wu countless times.
·
Fang Xiao could never persuade Fang Hua, while Fang Hua was determined to go further after his second life.
In fact, Fang Hua has always been determined and has always wanted to become stronger.
He had a deep friendship with Fang Xiao, and therefore didn't want to fall too far behind him.
Moreover, Fang Hua believed that Fang Xiao would definitely be able to rise from the ashes in the future. Since he had consumed so many of Fang Xiao's resources to survive, he should also rise from the ashes to live up to Fang Xiao's good intentions.
Fang Xiao could only say in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work, Young Palace Master."
Zhong Cai thought aimlessly: It's probably the kind of "hardship" that will make you heartbroken later.
Fang Hua looked at Zhong Cai, determined that they could start at any time.
Although Fang Xiao agreed, he was clearly still nervous.
Zhong Cai focused his attention on the two people and said, "Then let's get straight to it." He turned to look at the other Yuan Souls and cultivators, "You don't need to leave either. Judging from Young Master Fang Hua's reaction, you all have a general idea."
Fang Hua: "..."
Fang Xiao paused for a moment, but still didn't say anything. Actually, he was a little worried that too many people would see the young palace master in such a disheveled state, and he was also a little worried that too many people would affect Zhong Danwang's performance. But no matter what he thought, it was Zhong Danwang who made the decision, and they had to be obedient and not displease Zhong Danwang.
Fang Hua tentatively inquired, "I wonder what the others did during my training..."
Zhong Cai smiled slightly: "You all don't think that the painful training will be done one by one, do you?"
The other elemental spirits were all taken aback.
Zhong Cai maintained her gentle smile: "It's true that Fang Hua was the first to try, but that was just to prepare you mentally. After that, you'll all lie side by side, and the training will be pretty much the same."
It's just painful training, not targeted treatment. The medications used are all the same!
Moreover, the Yuan Soul has a limit to its ability to withstand pain. To raise this limit, it needs to be tempered for a while and then rested for a while before continuing.
During the time when the Yuan Souls were resting and adapting, Zhong Cai would go to the simulation room to continue researching how to separate the other Yuan Souls in an instant—the way to separate each Yuan Soul was not necessarily the same, and more experiments were needed.
Zhong Cai felt that her plan was perfect.
...But upon hearing about Zhong Cai's plan and the other Yuan Souls and their companions, their mood became somewhat unstable.
Fang Hua relaxed a bit.
It's good that he's not the only one in so much pain.
Fang Xiao still couldn't relax. After all, even with more people, it would only make the young palace master less embarrassed, but the young palace master's pain was real. Moreover, because there were even more people, he was worried that King Zhong Dan wouldn't be able to take care of everyone.
Zhong Cai, perhaps sensing the various emotions, added, "I have prepared quite a few pills that can stabilize and nourish the primordial spirit. When it is time to 'take' them for the primordial spirit, I will certainly not be stingy."
All the primordial spirits expressed their gratitude.
Zhong Cai's smile deepened: "Young Master Fang Hua, please lie down first."
Fang Hua obediently lay down.
The next instant, he felt something lightly touch him—
It was from this very spot that he suddenly felt a tearing, indescribable pain!
In an instant, Fang Hua's expression twisted.
Even his entire soul was distorted, appearing and disappearing as if it were about to turn into mist.
It's all because it hurts so much!
Fang Xiao's face turned deathly pale, as if he were feeling the pain himself—in fact, he knew exactly how painful it was, because he himself had experienced the soul splitting at the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Just thinking about Zhong Cai's description of these excruciating pain-relieving liquids, and the fact that the young master was also enduring such pain... Fang Xiao felt terrible.
