The Longevity Pill with Unknown Effects

Having produced the few least likely medicinal herbs, the remaining ninth-tier auxiliary herbs were even less of a challenge for Yun Qingyang single-handedly gathered all the necessary herbs for the final product. The process was unbelievably smooth.

"That's real background! Who says you can't rely on your parents in this world?" Ma Feifei looked at the ring on Yun Qingyang's hand, feeling incredibly envious.

"What should we do now?" Yun Qingyang had prepared all the medicinal herbs she needed to refine, and she had even put away the Qingshuang Sword. Holding a crystal-clear plate containing the herbs, she looked at Ma Feifei with excitement.

"Hmm..." Ma Feifei stood up, took the plate from Yun Qingyang, and the two stood together by the furnace.

"Just do whatever I say, understand?" Ma Feifei had already promised Yun Qingyang to refine the pills, so naturally she wouldn't go back on her word.

"Good!" Yun Qingyang said enthusiastically, stretching out her foot, clad in white embroidered shoes, and gently hooking the pile of firewood beside her towards the furnace.

"Boom!" The fire intensified.

"Release the Wugen Water!" Ma Feifei suddenly exclaimed.

Yun Qingyang grabbed three drops of Wugen Water and threw them directly into the container.

"Whoosh~"

Three drops of Wugen Water entered the furnace and instantly transformed into a pool of clear spring water, filling the furnace completely.

"Hoothoot coo~"

About a minute later, the water began to boil.

"Place the inner cores." Ma Feifei instructed, and Yun Qingyang did as he was told, throwing in four Divine Beast inner cores.

"Aww!"

The inner core was thrown into the furnace, and it began to roar. As time passed, the roar gradually diminished and eventually disappeared.

"Place the Everlasting Grass!"

"Add auxiliary medicinal materials."

One by one, the medicinal herbs were placed in the cauldron, Wugen Water inside boiled, evaporated, boiled, and evaporated again, until finally the cauldron was filled with less and less Wugen Water.

At this moment, seeing that the time was almost right, Ma Feifei said, "Release the Phoenix Blood."

Yun Qingyang took the last medicinal herb from the plate and sprinkled three drops of phoenix blood into the cauldron.

"Hey hey hey... Put in just one drop!" Ma Feifei was shocked, staring dumbfounded at the phoenix blood that had already been dripped in.

"Boom!"

A burst of energy shot into the sky from inside the furnace.

"When"

The furnace trembled and shook.

"Call out!"

A pure white pill Spit Up from the cauldron, rising upwards.

Yun Qingyang stood up and appeared in mid-air, grabbing the pill.

The pill seemed to have gained sentience, refusing to submit and struggling in Yun Qingyang's hand, trying to escape.

But Yun Qingyang was a dragon, and how could a single pill possibly contend with its power? Before long, it calmed down in Yun Qingyang's hand.

"What did you just say?" Yun Qingyang returned to Ma Feifei's side, opened his palm to look at the flawless white pill, and looked smug.

"Let me see." Ma Feifei took the pill from Yun Qingyang's hand, and as soon as he held it in his hand, information about the pill immediately appeared in his mind.

Efficacy: Originally believed to grant Longevity and Immortality, but its current status is unknown.

Ma Feifei stared speechlessly, feeling utterly disoriented. Ma Feifei had forgotten to remind Yun Qingyang that the first drop of Phoenix Blood should be added, followed by the remaining two drops to nurture the pill after it was formed, ensuring it reached its perfect state.

As a result, all three drops of phoenix blood were put in! You must know that phoenix blood is an extremely yang substance; even a single drop is unbearable for a cultivator, let alone three drops put in together. The effect is not as simple as one plus two.

Heaven knows what this "unknown" means now. If Qin Shi Huang were to consume it, would it still grant him Longevity and Immortality?

What if the drug has too much effect and I die?

These are all unknown factors...

"Qingyang, do you have any extra materials?" This pill has too many hidden dangers, so Ma Feifei thinks it would be better to refine a new one.

"I still have the Dragon Ball, only one Everlasting Grass, the Divine Beast Core, but the Phoenix Blood is gone," Yun Qingyang said, glancing at his ring.

Phoenix and dragon are Divine Beast of the same level, and their strength is certainly no weaker than Yun Qingyang's father. It is already quite remarkable that they were able to accumulate three drops of phoenix blood.

"This is bad." Ma Feifei plopped back into the rocking chair, sighing. It wasn't because of the mission; the Main Quest was actually quite simple. No matter what Qin Shi Huang chose, the system would mark it as complete. But the crucial issue was that if Qin Shi Huang chose to cultivate, Ma Feifei would definitely have to make him eat the pill in his hand. And with its uncertain effects, if Qin Shi Huang ate it and actually died, the reputation of the Mysterious Bookstore would be ruined in Ma Feifei's hands.

With a "whoosh," Yun Qingyang put away the furnace and walked up to Ma Feifei, asking in confusion, "Was the pill not finished?"

"Hmm... it should be ready by now." Ma Feifei knew that Yun Qingyang couldn't be blamed for this; it was his own fault for not explaining things clearly. Moreover, the pill was ready, and the mission could still continue. The only problem was whether there would be any issues with the pill.

"Besides, why should I think the worst? Maybe it will have a better effect if I eat it!" Ma Feifei comforted himself, put it in a bottle, and put it in his spatial ring. He glanced at Yun Qingyang's ring, still wanting to go in and take a look.

Yun Qingyang seemed to see through Ma Feifei. He turned his right hand, which was adorned with a ring, behind his back, looking wary and giving Ma Feifei no chance whatsoever.

"Who cares?" Ma Feifei pouted, got up and walked towards the branch store. The sun was already setting, and the branch store's day business was about to end. Ma Feifei could close the store and then go back to the main store.

"Teacher, why don't you let me manage the branch?" After seeing off today's customers, Chang Kong suddenly found Ma Feifei and said this.

Ma Feifei asked with some curiosity, "You want to watch the shop?"

Ma Feifei hadn't really considered having Chang Kong manage the branch store, mainly because Chang Kong's whole family was in Dubian Town, and Ma Feifei wouldn't do something like breaking up a family. But unexpectedly, Chang Kong brought it up himself.

"The student wants to share the teacher's burden." Chang Kong's face showed some excitement. Ma Feifei and Mysterious Bookstore had become a faith in his heart. He was a fanatical and die-hard fan of Ma Feifei. He could see that the branch was in dire need of staff to look after the Bookstore, so he made this request, wanting to share the burden for Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei hesitated for a moment. Chang Kong wasn't actually a Bookstore employee; he was Lantern Holder and didn't have the basic authority of Bookstore employee. However, Ma Feifei now had the right to recruit Bookstore employees, so he could decide to recruit Chang Kong on his own.

The fact that the Mysterious Bookstore Branch Two is a branch of the Mysterious Bookstore will definitely spread throughout the Qin State after today, so the branch can't just be open one night a month like it was before. It's definitely time to hire staff to keep an eye on the branch.

Chang Kong is of a certain age, but he is mature and steady in his dealings with others, so it's quite suitable for him to be in charge of the branch.

Thinking about this, Ma Feifei nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you've thought it through."

And so, Chang Kong became the employee in charge of the branch, Ma Feifei named him the store manager. Of course, this was not recognized by the system, and so far, Chang Kong was the only person in the branch.

Chang Kong was overjoyed to have become an employee of the Mysterious Bookstore. He refused to return to Dubian Town with Ma Feifei and instead found a house in the backyard of the branch store to live in, intending to stay there permanently.

Ma Feifei was at a loss for words, and could only let Chang Kong take Yun Qingyang back to the Mysterious Bookstore in Dubian Town.
