Testing Medicine on Humans
In the fox demon's perception, Song Wen, who only revealed the aura of the Longevity Art, was not strong.
However, it did not rashly attack Song Wen. Instead, it dragged the wild boar Demon Beast's corpse and slowly retreated into the bushes behind it.
Humans often roam this mountain. The fox spirit is quite intelligent and knows that these humans are not to be trifled with. They have all sorts of strange magical Law Treasure and methods, and if one is not careful, one will fall into the trap of these cunning humans.
With a flash, Song Wen didn't even need to use his Law Power; relying solely on his physical strength, he grabbed the fox demon by the back of the neck with one hand.
The fox demon struggled incessantly in Song Wen's grasp, but Song Wen's strength was too great, far beyond its ability to break free.
Song Wen took out a newly refined Blood Qi Pill, forcibly pried open the fox demon's mouth, and stuffed it inside.
Once Song Wen confirmed that the fox demon had swallowed the pill, he released it.
As soon as the fox demon landed, it used all its strength to dart into the grass like lightning and quickly disappeared into the distance.
After running only a few dozen meters, the fox demon suddenly collapsed to the ground, its limbs twitching uncontrollably, its body rapidly deflated, as if something was devouring its internal organs and flesh.
Soon the fox demon shrank by nearly half its original size, becoming emaciated with its Root Bone clearly visible, pressed tightly against its fur.
At this moment, the fox demon's body suddenly swelled up, as if someone was forcibly pumping air into it.
"Bang!"
A dull thud.
After the fox demon's body expanded to its limit, it suddenly exploded, turning into countless pieces of rotten flesh that splattered everywhere.
Looking at the blood and flesh scattered on the ground, Song Wen's lips twitched. He wasn't sure whether the pills had caused the problem or whether human pills were unsuitable for Demon Beast.
"It seems we still need to test the drug on humans."
Sometimes things just happen by chance.
Two Rogue Cultivator, two rogue Rogue Cultivator with fierce faces, were creeping towards his location, now less than two miles away from Song Wen.
Song Wen smirked and stood there, waiting for his prey to come to him.
A moment later, the two Bandit Cultivators, one on the left and one on the right, suddenly jumped out of the dense forest from two different directions.
One person made a hand Method Formula, and three seven-foot-long water spears condensed and shot towards Song Wen's face like lightning.
Water-based Technique Method, Water Spear Thrust.
One person raised his hand and summoned a mid-grade Law Artifact flying sword, which pierced Song Wen's heart from behind.
These two Bandit Cultivator attacked ruthlessly without uttering a word.
A strange smile crept across Song Wen's lips. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was just about to fall asleep; these were truly kind people offering help in their time of need.
The fierce looks in the eyes of the two Bandit Cultivator instantly turned to terror.
Song Wen's figure transformed into a blur and suddenly disappeared from their sight.
"Bang, bang."
Two muffled thuds.
Both Bandit Cultivator were knocked to the ground and unable to get up for a while.
Seeing Song Wen's smiling face as he looked down at them, the two Bandit Cultivator immediately understood that they had encountered a senior expert.
However, Song Wen did not kill them directly, allowing the two to hold onto a sliver of hope and see a chance of survival.
"Senior, we were blind and ignorant, and offended you. Please forgive us this time."
"Senior, we were also oppressed by the Beast Taming Sect and couldn't earn any Spirit Stone, so we took this risky step of doing this risky business. We hope that you will forgive us since this is our first offense."
Looking at the two people who kept kowtowing and begging, Song Wen said.
"I might spare you, but I have two pills here; one for each of you."
"After you take the pills, you may leave on your own. I will pretend that nothing happened."
As they spoke, two pills floated in mid-air in front of them.
Seeing the Blood Qi Pill, which was clearly different from ordinary pills, the two Bandit Cultivator couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
This pill doesn't look like a proper pill at all.
We don't even know what the consequences will be if we eat it.
As the two hesitated, Song Wen's icy voice rang out.
"Don't worry, this is a spiritual pill I refined to enhance cultivation. Although it's my first time refining one, I don't think there will be any major problems."
"If you take this pill, you still have a sliver of hope. If you refuse, then I will have no choice but to send you on your way now."
"I'll eat it!"
The Bandit Cultivator kneeling on the left grabbed the pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing his companion take the pill, another Bandit Cultivator also took one.
As soon as the pill entered their stomachs, the two felt intense abdominal cramps, and their Essence Blood was rapidly depleted.
The two couldn't help but curse inwardly, thinking that this was no ordinary pill for improving cultivation, but a deadly poison pill.
Immediately, they felt a tremendous spiritual power arise from their abdomens, rampaging through their meridians as if trying to sever them.
"Hold your breath, concentrate, meditate, and refine your spiritual energy. You still have a glimmer of hope."
Song Wen's voice rang in their ears.
Without thinking too much, the two immediately did as instructed.
However, the elixir consumed their Essence Blood too quickly, and the two men's Qi and Blood rapidly weakened.
"Bang!"
One person couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
This person's life Essence Blood was almost completely depleted, and his entire body was withered and dry, not much better off than the corpse whose Essence Blood had been devoured by Song Wen.
The other man's eyes showed despair upon seeing his companion die.
With his Essence Blood nearly depleted, and the excruciating pain in his abdomen and meridians, he had lost all hope of surviving.
"Hold on!"
Song Wen suddenly roared, trying to pull the man out of his despair.
But it was all in vain. This man only lasted a dozen or so breaths longer than his companion before collapsing and dying.
Looking at the two corpses, Song Wen said coldly.
"Waste!"
After devouring the souls of the two, tearing off the Storage Bag, and burning the corpses, Song Wen turned and returned to the market.
The two Bandit Cultivator just Qi Refining Seventh Layer of Qi Refining. They collapsed and died within half an incense stick's time after taking the pills.
The cause of death was severe depletion of Essence Blood.
Therefore, it seems that ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators would find it difficult to withstand the medicinal power of this new elixir.
However, Song Wen also obtained some useful information.
Neither of them showed any signs of poisoning, so the elixir was non-toxic.
"Maybe next time, I can try it myself."
Song Wen returned home and continued Alchemy.
Perhaps due to previous experience, this batch produced five pills.
After staring at the pill in his hand for a long time, Song Wen finally opened his mouth and swallowed it.
The powerful medicinal effects erupted within his body, rapidly depleting his Blood Qi, while a vast surge of spiritual power emerged.
The intense pain felt by the two Bandit Cultivator before him was completely unnoticed by Song Wen; the little bit of Essence Blood consumed by the pill had no fundamental impact on him.
Song Wen calmed his mind, circulated the Longevity Art, and absorbed the spiritual energy generated by refining the elixir.
"Pop!"
It felt like something inside my body had suddenly burst open, making a faint sound.
That was generated when the <Longevity Art> broke through the bottleneck of the Qi Refining Fifth Layer and advanced to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.
The medicinal effects of the elixir had not yet been completely exhausted, Song Wen continued to meditate and circulate his internal energy.
An hour later, Song Wen finished his practice, a look of joy on his face.
The new Blood Qi Pill has been successfully refined, and its medicinal power is more than ten times stronger than the previous enhanced Blood Qi Pill.
Song Wen did not stop; he continued to take the pills and circulate his internal energy to refine them.
Just as he finished refining all five pills, there was a knock at the door.
