A Debt Repaid a Thousandfold!

Ling Han didn't know whether the extraordinary medical skills the system had given him were responsible for his talent. Either way, his Alchemy had reached an astonishing level.

And now it was time to give Tang San some Immortal Herbs.

Immortal Herbs were meant to build a foundation, after all. The earlier one took them, the better the results.

With his mastery of Alchemy, Ling Han certainly wasn't going to let Tang San eat the herbs raw. He would refine them into a pill first.

That would bring out their full potency while making them bearable for Tang San's small body.

Ling Han had long since decided which Immortal Herbs to use for Tang San's pill.

He intended to draw on his Alchemy skills to make a Tenfold Tonic Pill.

There were simply too many herbs he wanted to choose from. He might as well refine them all into one pill.

First on Ling Han's list was Ink Jade Divine Bamboo.

In his view, it was highly compatible with Blue Silver Grass.

He also had to consider that Tang San would eventually use the Clear Sky Hammer as a Martial Soul. His physical strength couldn't be neglected.

So for the second herb, Ling Han chose Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

In the original story, the Ice and Fire Golden Body became incredibly powerful later on. That meant Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot couldn't be left out either. Ling Han could take Tang San to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well when the chance arose to complete Ice and Fire Body Tempering. With Ling Han there to control the medicinal power, he wouldn't have to worry about Tang San being unable to withstand it.

Ling Han himself hadn't absorbed either of those herbs.

For one thing, the Ice Dragon King's ice was already powerful enough. Even absorbing Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass was unlikely to improve it much.

As for Infernal Delicate Apricot, Ling Han wasn't a fool. His Martial Soul was the Ice Dragon King. Why would he absorb a fire-attribute Immortal Herb?

Most of the Immortal Herbs Ling Han had chosen back then were meant to raise his Soul Power. He had refined them together into a single pill.

Primordial Immortal Herb had been the main ingredient, supplemented by other Immortal Herbs and medicinal plants.

That was one reason he had reached such a high cultivation level at such a young age.

With those four Immortal Herbs chosen, he only needed to add a few other medicinal plants before he could start refining the Tenfold Tonic Pill.

There was no time to waste. Ling Han already had all four herbs on him.

He had the other medicinal plants in his Storage Soul Tool as well.

As for the Alchemy Furnace he needed...

Ling Han swept out a hand. Light flashed, and a huge Alchemy Furnace emerged from his Soul Tool.

Ultimate Ice couldn't let Ling Han produce flames, but it did let him control their temperature with precision.

He gathered fuel, lit it, and began preheating the Alchemy Furnace.

Ling Han wrapped the entire furnace in his vast Soul Power, keeping the temperature exact so none of the medicinal potency would be lost.

Once it was nearly hot enough, Ling Han began adding the ingredients.

"Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, in you go!"

"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, in you go!"

"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, in you go!"

"Infernal Delicate Apricot, in you go!"

Just like that, Ling Han tossed all the Immortal Herbs and medicinal plants into the Alchemy Furnace at once, in no particular order.

If anyone else had dared do that, the furnace would have exploded. Ling Han, however, had no trouble at all.

Only his extraordinary mastery of Alchemy allowed him to work so freely.

Under Ling Han's precise control, the ingredients gradually melted and blended together.

Refining a Tenfold Tonic Pill demanded an enormous amount of Soul Power, but that was nothing to Ling Han now.

In terms of sheer Soul Power, Ling Han was already approaching the level of a Limit Douluo.

This small expenditure wouldn't faze him.

Time ticked by, and the ingredients in the Alchemy Furnace dissolved more and more completely.

With careful control, Ling Han drew out their essence and discarded the impurities, leaving only a portion to merge together.

A pill the size of a longan gradually took shape.

It was pale gold, with streams of green, blue, and red light flowing across its surface.

There was no doubt about it: this was a Tenfold Tonic Pill.

The pill could raise Soul Power, strengthen the body, and even enhance mental strength.

It improved everything, and by no small amount. After all, it contained four whole Immortal Herbs, along with other medicinal plants.

Ling Han waved a hand, and the pill landed in his palm.

A rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the room.

Ling Han placed the pill in a Jade Bottle, then put the Alchemy Furnace away.

Now he needed to find Tang San and have him absorb it.

With that in mind, Ling Han left the room and headed straight for Dorm Seven.

At the entrance to Dorm Seven, Tang San stared at the Jade Bottle in his hand. As he listened to Ling Han explain the pill, his hand began to tremble.

"Teacher... This is too precious. Are you really giving it to me?"

A pill refined from four Immortal Herbs and other rare medicinal ingredients—how precious must it be?

Ling Han smiled and nodded. "Of course. Come on, I'll find somewhere to help you take it."

Seeing the smile on Ling Han's face, Tang San couldn't help thinking of his irresponsible father, Tang Hao.

This is what a father should be like! Tang Hao, you don't deserve to be one!

Tang San made a silent vow.

I'll repay Teacher's kindness a thousandfold!

Tang San followed Ling Han to the academy's Back Mountain and found a place to sit. Then he poured the pill out of the Jade Bottle.

The moment it emerged, a rich medicinal fragrance spread through the air.

Ling Han sat behind Tang San and placed both hands against his back.

"Go ahead, Xiao San!"

Tang San nodded, opened his mouth, and swallowed the pill.

The instant it entered his body, its immense medicinal power erupted.

It held the combined essence of four Immortal Herbs and several rare medicinal ingredients. Even with the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang San couldn't withstand it as he was.

That was when Ling Han stepped in.

His Soul Power entered Tang San's body and began suppressing the medicinal power.

Ling Han intended to let Tang San absorb some of it first, then leave the rest in his body to absorb gradually. That would be better for him.

Ling Han's overwhelming Soul Power instantly subdued the pill, holding it steady inside Tang San.

If the medicinal power had been a raging flood a moment ago, it was now a gentle stream.

Tang San's brow relaxed, and an expression of pleasure appeared on his face.

This feels incredible, Tang San thought.

The pill's medicinal power nourished Tang San's body at a steady, unhurried pace.

His Soul Power, physical strength, and mental strength were all steadily improving.

His Soul Power in particular rose at an astonishing rate.

Level sixteen, peak level sixteen, level seventeen, peak level seventeen...

After a full two hours, Tang San's Soul Power reached the level twenty bottleneck.

He had also absorbed a portion of the pill's medicinal power.

Seeing that the time was right, Ling Han sent out a surge of Soul Power to seal off most of the pill. He left only a tiny opening through which its medicinal power could slowly seep out for Tang San to absorb over time.
