Pill Refinement, Tricking the Golden Light Earth Dragon into Testing Medicine

After breaking through the rain, Wu Chu simply used magic to tuck the Tower Ship into his sleeve, and he and his sister, the Fox Ancestress, took turns using the Qiankun Shifting Art to get back to Purple Jade Mountain as quickly as possible.

As Houtu Miss Houtu, after learning that Wu Chu wanted to return as soon as possible, she went back to the tribe through the Pangu Temple before everyone else.

Wu Chu's idea was not wrong. Although there were no large-scale wars in the Great River Basin, small-scale battles often occurred, and there were frequent deaths and injuries between the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan.

Faced with this situation, Wu Chu paid no attention to it, nor did he try to understand why the two tribes had started fighting each other again after such a long period of peace.

After all, in this Primordial Land, it's not uncommon for sudden bloodshed incidents to occur from time to time, like "What are you looking at? What's it to you?"

With so many bloody incidents, the accumulated anger naturally needs to be vented.

Therefore, the only way to prevent any friction between them is to clearly define their territories and establish rules so that no one crosses the line.

But it is clear that neither the Dragon Clan nor the Qilin Clan will be the first to bow down to the other. Their dignity as supreme races does not allow them to lower their noble heads.

However, no matter how the outside world changed, Wu Chu and his group shut themselves in and lived their own quiet lives. To sum it up in one sentence, they were "oblivious to everything else and focused solely on researching the elixir of immortality." It was time to put this research on the agenda.

Those little guys went out to play for so long, and after they came back, they started to go into seclusion again.

The Fox Ancestress also bid farewell to Wu Chu and prepared to return to Qingqiu for a while.

She, the Qingqiu Fox Ancestor, is spending less and less time in her lair.

As for the spiritual herbs and pharmacological knowledge required for alchemy, Wu Chu had already learned them thoroughly from Yibao, and was just waiting for him to conduct further experiments and verifications.

After learning about the overall changes in Purple Jade Mountain over the years from Bai Jun, Big Red, Doggy A Qiu, and the Little Flower Fairies, Wu Chu began his seclusion.

Of course, this seclusion is for weapon crafting, not cultivation.

Before he could refine pills, he first needed a pill-refining furnace.

He could only refine this thing himself, because he had no experience to learn from. He could only imitate the Taishang Eight Trigrams Furnace used by the Supreme Being for alchemy in the future.

When we refine the elixir in the future, we can simply start refining it again if any improvements are needed.

He had the materials, and he knew how to forge weapons, so this step wasn't difficult for him.

The real challenge lies in the subsequent alchemy.

Without any elixir recipes or the alchemical experience of predecessors to learn from, everything had to be explored on one's own, much like exploring a new game.

Thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

With his cultivation at the Daluo Realm and his understanding of Formation and Restriction Dao, he finally managed to refine a top-grade alchemy furnace after many failures.

Although it was only a top-grade acquired Acquired Spiritual Treasure, it was already the most powerful Spirit Treasure that Wu Chu had ever crafted.

As for how much material was wasted, well... that's not important!

Once the alchemy furnace was completed, Wu Chu began experimenting with alchemy.

The flame needed for the alchemy furnace is also simple; he can just take the Glazed Sunlight Lamp, as he can easily adjust the size of the flame with his Fire-Control Technique.

As for the various medicinal herbs he needed, Wu Chu directly released his Divine Sense to search for them in the mountains. Before he had any experience to draw upon, he could only conduct experiments step by step. For example, he would first fuse the medicinal powers of two herbs and then try to analyze them.

The Golden Light Earth Dragon, being Spirit Treasure, was the perfect test subject.

First, its cultivation level is high enough to help analyze the medicinal properties; second, as a Spirit Treasure, it is not afraid of any poison, and it simply cannot be poisoned to death; third, the Golden Light Earth Dragon is, after all, an 'outsider' and will have to leave Purple Jade Mountain sooner or later, so it won't be heartbroken if something goes wrong.

Of course, when two or three non-toxic medicinal herbs are mixed together, toxins are generally not easily produced, unless several medicinal herbs with conflicting properties are fused together.

Wu Chu tried this himself.

As he tried and analyzed, Yibao helped him take notes.

After the medicinal powers of various trace toxins were mixed together, Wu Chu summoned the Golden Light Earth Dragon. When the Golden Light Earth Dragon was summoned, it thought it was going to fight for Wu Chu again. It was still a little scared of the last fight it had fought for Wu Chu!

Unexpectedly, Wu Chu actually lifted a ball of liquid with a pale green hue, which looked somewhat crystalline and emitted a strange medicinal smell, and presented it to it.

"..."

The Golden Light Earth Dragon blinked its almost invisible eyes, looking completely bewildered.

"Jin Guang! This is a new medicine I've developed that can increase cultivation by ten thousand years. Would you like to try it?" Wu Chu said with a smile, "You've been with me for so many years, and I've never given you any gifts. Last time I even put you in danger; I really feel bad about it..."

Faced with Wu Chu's slightly embarrassed yet incredibly sincere face, the Golden Light Earth Dragon was somewhat moved. In all its life, even the white wolf had never treated it so kindly.

For some reason, it suddenly felt an urge to cry.

So it said, "Thank you for the gift, Master. However, since this thing can increase one's cultivation by ten thousand years, Master can give it to Huanglong and the others. I don't need it..."

"It's alright, I have plenty more!"

As Wu Chu spoke, he pointed to the pile of medicinal herbs beside him.

"..."

Under Wu Chu's patient persuasion, the Golden Light Earth Dragon finally accepted Wu Chu's "kindness" and swallowed the gruesome green liquid.

Perhaps because the toxins in the liquid were not strong, or perhaps because the Golden Light Earth Dragon's cultivation was high enough, the Golden Light Earth Dragon did not have a significant reaction after swallowing the green liquid.

Seeing that he didn't react much, Wu Chu asked, "How are you feeling? Come on, tell me how your body is feeling right now, and I'll take notes..."

"..."

Seeing Wu Chu's expression, Golden Light Earth Dragon felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

Urged on by Wu Chu, it didn't have time to think much and said, "It's a little sweet, with a hint of astringency, and a slightly bitter aftertaste... I feel a little warm in my body. Although it can increase cultivation, the increase shouldn't be more than ten thousand years..."

Wu Chu nodded slightly and asked, "How stimulating is it to the body? Which part of the body reacts more strongly? What are the reactions as the medicine spreads throughout the body...?"

"..."

The Golden Light Earth Dragon finally realized where this strange thing came from. After thinking for a moment, it said to Wu Chu, "Master, are you using me to test medicine?"

Judging from its bewildered expression, it seemed somewhat unsure.

Wu Chu shook his head and said, "How can you call it a drug test! I've tried this medicine myself. It's probably because your body has become Spirit Treasure, which makes you a bit special! But you've reminded me, given your body's special characteristics, would you be willing to be a drug tester for me?"

"..."

The Golden Light Earth Dragon wanted to slap itself, if it had hands.
