Xu Jinhuan saw off the beaming An Er, and before he could have a moment of peace, he heard another knock on the door.
"Come in."
Xie Guangbai pushed open the door with a smile on his face and said with delight, "Master, it's done!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan asked with a look of surprise, "Really?"
Xie Guangbai nodded seriously. He held out his hand and handed Xu Jinhuan a pill. "Master, Guangbai has lived up to expectations. The Body Tempering Pill is done!"
Xu Jinhuan took the pill and found that it had a unique medicinal aroma, but otherwise it looked unremarkable.
"What did you use to test the drug's effects?" Xu Jinhuan asked curiously.
Xie Guangbai touched his nose sheepishly, "It's Granny Liu's dog. I saw that the dog was always being bullied by Ah Huang from the family at the edge of the village, so I fed it the pill."
Xu Jinhuan nodded after hearing this. "And then? How did the puppy get?"
Xie Guangbai said with sparkling eyes, "After the puppy finished eating, it was in a lot of pain for a while, and then its four legs became stronger."
It seemed to know it had become stronger, so it ran wildly out of the yard to seek revenge on Ah Huang. I followed behind and watched as it beat the fierce Ah Huang into retreat.
Seeing that he was fine after returning home, I observed him for another day. After confirming there were no side effects, I took one myself and felt no discomfort before sharing the good news with my eldest son.
Xu Jinhuan nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. "Good, that's really good news. Let's go, let's find someone to test the medicine's effects."
Upon hearing this, Xie Guangbai quickly followed behind Xu Jinhuan.
The two arrived together at the house where Ma Wencai lived.
"Boss? Please have a seat, please have a seat!" Ma Wencai greeted with a smile.
After sitting down, Xu Jinhuan took out the pill in his hand and looked at Ma Wencai with a smile, saying, "Don't say that the boss doesn't care about you. When I get something good, you're the first person I come to."
Ma Wencai looked at the pill, as if he had just thought of something, and asked, "Boss, is this the elixir you were talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan coughed lightly, "Ahem, it's not a magic pill yet, but its effects are already very close. This pill is called the Body Tempering Pill, which can enhance the physical strength of the user."
Ma Wencai stared in surprise at the small pill in front of him, muttering, "If this isn't a magic pill, what is? Boss, don't be modest!"
After saying that, he swallowed the Body Tempering Pill in one gulp. After finishing it, he smiled and said, "Boss, this pill is perfect for me. It can make up for my shortcomings!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Wencai felt a sharp pain rush to his head, and he heard his boss's admonitions in his ears.
"Hang in there, don't faint. The longer you hold on, the better the results will be."
And so, Ma Wencai persevered until the effects of the medicine wore off. Although he could still feel some soreness in his body, what was even stronger was the surge of power that came in!
"Bang!"
Ma Wencai tentatively swung his fist, smashing a large dent into the solid wood table, almost breaking it through.
"Boss!" Ma Wencai looked at Xu Jinhuan with surprise.
Xu Jinhuan nodded. "It seems the effect is indeed quite good."
After saying that, she looked at Xie Guangbai beside her, "Guangbai, how many Body Tempering Pills can you make by tomorrow morning? Can you make fifty?"
After thinking for a moment, Xie Guangbai said, "The refining of this Body Tempering Pill is not complicated. As long as the ingredients are properly combined, fifty pills a night is still possible."
Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Guangbai. Once this matter is over, I'll make sure you get plenty of rest."
Xie Guangbai smiled and said, "Master, there's no need to be so polite with me. Refining pills is simply my duty. Besides, being able to read that incomplete book is already a great honor for me."
Xu Jinhuan smiled and arranged for a few people with basic knowledge of pharmacology to help Xie Guangbai with some simple tasks.
Before they knew it, it was the next day. The sun had not yet woken up from its slumber, and Blackfish Village was quiet.
However, soon someone lit candles and began to get busy.
"Yesterday, Boss Xu said that we should prepare more meat in the morning so that the people going to the military camp can have a full meal."
"Yes, Boss Xu sent a lot of meat to every room. My husband is going to the military camp soon, so I'll make sure they leave with their bellies showing today."
The clanging and clattering sounds of cooking in the kitchen eased some of the sadness of parting.
"Husband, get dressed and go to the ancestral hall. When you come back after Elder Xu has finished speaking, dinner will be ready," a woman said softly.
The man put on a thick fur coat, big cotton shoes, and a rabbit fur hat. He smiled at the woman and then went out with the others in the house.
Soon, the people who were going to the military camp gathered in the ancestral hall.
Xu Jinhuan sat in the main seat, her gaze sweeping over everyone. Seeing the high spirits on their faces, she nodded in satisfaction.
"I have called you all here today because I have something to reward the heroes who dare to take risks. With this, you will surely be able to have divine assistance on the battlefield."
As soon as Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
"If it's something given by Boss Xu, it must be something good!"
"Yes, maybe it's a treasure from heaven!"
Xu Jinhuan coughed lightly, signaling that it was Xie Guangbai's turn to appear.
Xie Guangbai immediately came up with a large bowl, which contained small pills that smelled of medicine.
Xu Jinhuan smiled and introduced, "This pill is called the Body Tempering Pill. As the name suggests, it can strengthen your physique and make you stronger. Ma Wencai, go!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Wencai immediately brought over the solid wood table from before. He first demonstrated the fist imprint from before, and then said...
"Everyone knows that I, Ma Wencai, am known for my speed, while my martial arts skills are only average. But now, everything is different!"
After saying that, Ma Wencai swung the solid wood table forcefully. With a loud crash, the sturdy table was split in two.
"The reason I'm able to do this is because I ate the Body Tempering Pill bestowed upon me by the boss. Do you want to be as powerful as me?"
Everyone answered in unison, "Yes!"
Ma Wencai nodded in satisfaction: "Then take this Body Tempering Pill!"
Seeing this, Xu Jinhuan sighed helplessly and rubbed his forehead. How did Ma Wencai learn this pyramid scheme trick? He's even making it look pretty convincing.
"Well, one Body Tempering Pill for each person. The effects of this pill vary from person to person, but as long as you remember it and persevere, the rewards will far exceed your expectations," Xu Jinhuan said with a smile.
Everyone excitedly accepted the Body Tempering Pill, but instead of taking it immediately, they knelt down before Xu Jinhuan with faces full of gratitude.
"Thank you for the medicine, boss. I will definitely live up to your expectations and brainwash those soldiers!"
"Yes, we're trying to sideline General Hu and make those troops his subordinates!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan was choked and started coughing. These guys really dared to think that way.
However, it led to the same conclusion as her idea...
