Super Strength Guga Pill!

"..."

This truly left Lin Xiao speechless.

No... this Alchemist Guga trying to brew pills was understandable.

So why add stimulants to the pills?

To increase blood flow velocity and speed up the absorption of medicinal power??

"Uncle Ning... look at this..."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, a soft smile on his face.

"Don't blame yourself, Xiao Lin. After all, if your Martial Soul can refine medicinal pills, the sect will benefit as well."

Then Ning Fengzhi turned to look at that disciple, his mouth instantly dropping into a scowl.

"As for you and the others who were dragging your feet, clean the sect from top to bottom! If I can still smell this tomorrow, you know what will happen."

"Understood! I'll definitely clean it thoroughly! I guarantee even a dog would shake its head and wouldn't even be able to taste a hint of sweetness!!"

The disciple quickly raised his hand in a guarantee, terrified of being expelled from the mountain gate.

The development prospects of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect were obvious now!

Any disciple with even a shred of discernment was fighting tooth and nail to stay in the sect and perform well.

If they didn't hurry up and put in extra effort right now to actively build up merits and accumulate contributions, getting eliminated would truly mean a lifetime of regret!

Ning Fengzhi nodded in satisfaction.

"Xiao Lin, let's go meet that alchemy master."

"..."

Enduring the stench all the way, the three of them arrived inside Lin Xiao's courtyard.

Inside the courtyard at this moment.

The forging equipment and various materials originally piled in the yard had all been moved to the adjacent area.

That was a professional forging room specially built by the Engineer Gugas, fully equipped and spacious.

Right in the center of the currently empty courtyard.

Ten medicine cauldrons were neatly and uniformly arranged.

A crisp, mellow medicinal fragrance drifted out in wisps. Inhaling it into the lungs instantly made one's whole body warm, smooth, and much more spirited.

For some reason, Lin Xiao felt his entire body brimming with power and wanted to find someone to vent it on.

"Oh no! It's a stimulant!"

He hurriedly covered his nose and mouth, shouting to the Alchemist Gugas tending the fire behind the medicine shop:

"Gugas! Stop burning it! If you keep burning this, the entire sect is going to get high!!"

"Guga?"

Hearing the shout, the ten Alchemist Gugas who were holding little fans to control the fire all froze in unison.

Each of them poked their heads out with round, innocent eyes, looking completely bewildered.

And amidst the crowd of Gugas, two cute teenage heads unexpectedly popped out.

They were none other than Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who had run over to help tend the fire because they thought it looked fun.

At this moment, the two little girls had hazy eyes, flushed faces, and giggled stupidly to themselves the entire time.

"They actually got high on it too! Stop burning it! Put out the fire immediately!!"

"Guga..."

"Screech--"

Ning Fengzhi hurriedly pulled Ning Rongrong into his arms.

"Rongrong, Rongrong?! Are you okay?"

"Heeheehee~ Dad! I feel strength all over my body! I can beat a cow to death! Heh-whoosh!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she clenched her tiny fists and swung casually with a burst of reckless momentum.

Bang!

A solid punch landed squarely on Ning Fengzhi's eye socket.

"Heehee! I hit you!!"

Ning Fengzhi instantly felt a sour ache in his eyelid, helplessly pinning down her flailing little hands and using his Soul Power to disperse the medicinal force in her body.

On the other side, seeing this, Lin Xiao didn't dare delay either and hurriedly stepped forward to pull out the dazed Xiao Wu.

The Mage Guga standing by on standby reacted extremely quickly, immediately raising a hand to conjure a ball of cooling, clean water and splashing it directly onto Xiao Wu's face without hesitation.

Xiao Wu shuddered all over, her eyes clearing up significantly.

"Pfft--!"

She raised a hand to wipe the water droplets from her face, spitting out a small stream of water.

Blinking her eyes, she looked at Lin Xiao with an innocent expression.

"Boss, why did you splash water on me? It's so cold!"

Looking at her completely oblivious and dim-witted state, Lin Xiao was both exasperated and amused.

"Alright, from now on, when the Alchemist Gugas are refining pills, you and Rongrong are not allowed to come near, you hear me!"

"Oh~"

Xiao Wu lowered her head, her two index fingers touching aggrievedly.

Lin Xiao gave her rabbit ears a fierce rub before finally looking ahead.

The ten little fellows lined up obediently, each keeping their heads down and their little bodies tensed straight, looking like they were properly admitting their mistakes.

Lin Xiao reached out and grabbed the soft cheeks of the foremost Guga, pulling them gently outward.

"If you're going to refine pills, then refine them properly! Why are you randomly adding stimulant-type herbs? Can that kind of stuff just be thrown into medicine??"

With its cheeks pinched, the Guga's mouth was distorted as it argued incoherently.

"Guga! Boss, you don't understand! We, we are just boldly experimenting with the combination of every single herb! We want to refine super-strong pills! Guga!"

Lin Xiao's eyelid twitched violently. He narrowed his eyes and changed his grip from a cheek-pinch to a gentle massage.

"You guys don't need to have such a strong desire for exploration. It's just stimulants right now, what if one day it's poisonous?

What if you accidentally poison me and the entire sect together with a gaba?"

Turning serious, he lowered his voice and warned them:

"From now on, herbs that randomly get people high are strictly forbidden. You hear me?"

The group of Alchemist Gugas were lectured into total obedience, all of them drooping their little heads and chiming in submissively.

"Guga, understood..."

"Mhm~ Good~"

Lin Xiao patted the Gugas' heads.

"What kind of pills have you refined? Let me see."

"Guga! Boss, look!"

An Alchemist Guga took a black pill that looked like a mud ball out from its bosom.

"Boss, this is a First-Grade Pill that Guga refined after many attempts—the Super Strength Guga Pill!

You only need one pill to increase a person's strength by 20% within an hour! Guga."

Naturally, Ning Fengzhi had also heard the effects of this pill.

Curiously, he asked:

"Are there any restrictions on this Guga Pill regarding one's strength?"

"It's the Super Strength Guga Pill!"

The Alchemist Guga corrected him before continuing:

"Of course there are restrictions. Grand Soul Masters take it best; the higher the strength, the weaker the effect, guga~"

According to the little fellow's subsequent explanation.

Everyone also understood the optimal Soul Master cultivation levels corresponding to each grade of pill.

It was Soul Masters whose levels were ten higher than Lin Xiao's.

For instance, Lin Xiao was currently a Level 24 Grand Soul Master, so the Alchemist Gugas could refine up to Second-Grade Pills.

And the best Soul Masters to take them were Soul Elders of levels 30 to 39.

Ning Fengzhi stroked his chin and nodded slowly.

"Xiao Lin, the effects of these pills are astonishing. Why don't we follow the old rule: the sect will purchase the pills with money, and provide you with all kinds of herbs so your Martial Soul can fully exert itself in researching pills. What do you think?"

"Of course."

Lin Xiao had no objections whatsoever. Having someone cover the resource bottom line while supplying him to level up quickly was an absolute blessing he couldn't even ask for.

He turned to look at the row of Alchemist Gugas in front of him and voiced his own idea.

"Guga, I have a request now. Can you guys refine pills that boost cultivation speed?"

"Guga?"

The group of Alchemist Gugas exchanged glances, huddled their heads together, and whispered in gugaguga tones.

After a short while, one of the Alchemist Gugas stepped forward and raised its round little head.

"Guga! Yes, we can research it right now, guga!"

A sharp glint flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

"Xiao Lin, can we watch from the side?"

"Uncle Ning, don't stand on ceremony. Watch all you like."

Lin Xiao was extremely forthright.

He wasn't afraid of the formulas being figured out at all. After all, the Alchemist Gugas were just using ordinary herbs.

If they could forge pills comparable to soul skills with just that, it undoubtedly had to do with their trait of being comedic characters.

Even if other people got their hands on the formulas, they definitely wouldn't be able to brew them.
