Mixed Pharmacology

Yang Wudi brought Ning Fengzhi information about the Immortal Herb "Aromatic Silk Beauty," as well as Toxic Pharmacology.

Seven-Colored Mottled and Myriad Purples and Thousands of Reds were both Yang Wushuang's creations.

Since Yang Wudi could detoxify poisons, he could naturally concoct them as well.

What did concocting poison have to do with Han Tao? Of course it had something to do with him.

Blue Silver Grass's "adaptation" encompassed not only physical injuries and elements, but toxins as well.

"Completing its adaptation to toxins might allow Blue Silver Grass to develop in a different direction."

After leaving the Little Black Room and resting for half a day, he went to find Yang Wudi.

"I heard that the Breaking Clan is exceptionally skilled in Pharmacology. Seeing it today, the reputation is indeed well deserved."

"Clan Leader Yang, might this junior have the honor of seeing your results?"

Yang Wudi was intently mixing several Medicinal Materials and poisons together, stirring and grinding them with a pestle.

Han Tao stepped forward and struck up a conversation when he found an opportunity.

Seeing someone approach, Yang Wudi stopped stirring and looked up.

"Han Tao, Sect Leader Ning's disciple?"

Han Tao nodded.

"Come here. I have a gift for you."

"I heard that it was young friend who single-handedly facilitated the cooperation between the Breaking Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Consider this potion a meeting gift for you."

Yang Wudi entered the room and opened a wooden cabinet. A rich medicinal fragrance wafted out from within.

He took out a bottle. Its exterior was made of some specially crafted ceramic, with a label in the center bearing a large character: "Rainbow."

"This is my proudest creation, the Rainbow Potion. It can help Soul Masters undergo Meridian Cleansing and Marrow Washing, improving their aptitude."

Yang Wudi praised his own work as he handed the Porcelain Vial to Han Tao.

Han Tao first took out a pair of gloves from his pack. Only after putting them on did he accept the Rainbow Potion.

"After rain washes the sky, a rainbow appears. Only after Meridian Cleansing and Marrow Washing can one see true clarity."

"Clan Leader Yang, what a fine meaning."

He praised it as he slipped the bottle into his pack.

Yang Wudi laughed heartily, paying no attention to Han Tao's little gesture.

Before long, he began the next stage of his Medicinal Material research.

Even the slightest mistake in Medicinal Material research could lead to entirely different results.

Yang Wudi had now reached a deep cooperation agreement with Ning Fengzhi. Sabotaging him served no purpose and would also incur Teacher's displeasure.

Yang Wudi seemed a little too enthusiastic. "Rainbow" was the gift Yang Wudi had given him.

"Could this bottle of medicine be poison?"

Han Tao found it difficult to judge, because those who understood Pharmacology could make subtle alterations that ordinary people would never notice.

"Yang Wudi has no reason to target me."

Logically speaking, they had no conflict of interest. He was merely a Level 24 Soul Master, posing virtually no threat.

Unless Yang Wudi wanted to use him to threaten Ning Fengzhi.

That possibility was practically a joke. Would Ning Fengzhi really be threatened because of Han Tao?

If he wanted to choose someone, he should choose the right person. Wouldn't Ning Tian or Ning Rongrong be far more suitable? Who used an outsider as leverage to threaten someone else?

"But..."

Rainbow—this potion might be one of the poisons in Seven-Colored Mottled.

Seven-Colored Mottled was concocted from seven different poisons in corresponding proportions. Judging by the poison's name, "Rainbow" was highly likely to occupy one of its colors.

After putting away the Porcelain Vial, Han Tao did not dare gamble on whether it was poison.

Han Tao did not trust Yang Wudi, but he had to learn Pharmacology.

Planning for Immortal Herbs required Pharmacology, developing Blue Silver Grass required Pharmacology, and the human body's Meridians were even more closely tied to Pharmacology.

Could a Develop Meditation Method be created just by slapping one's forehead?

Meridian studies, Pharmacology, cultivation experience, and Soul Power Characteristics—these were all foundations for constructing a meditation method.

Whether Yang Wudi had other motives or not, now was not the time for either side to tear off the mask.

Ning Fengzhi was still in the Sect. His presence was like a great mountain, allowing Han Tao to ease his mind somewhat.

Over the following days, Han Tao became exceptionally, exceptionally busy again.

Busy studying, busy thinking, busy cultivating.

The teachers at Heaven Dou Royal Academy did not teach Pharmacology. Perhaps only Botany Academy offered courses in this subject.

However, the Library Pavilion of Heaven Dou Empire Royal Academy contained books on pharmacology.

The Sect's Library Pavilion likewise contained books on pharmacology.

With Yang Wudi's arrival, the number of such books had rapidly increased. However, for now, they were still not as comprehensive as those at Heaven Dou Empire Royal Academy.

Books merely represented theory. True practice and verification required a dedicated venue.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had an experimental site built by Yang Wudi, with vast quantities of Medicinal Materials, professional instruments, and a suitable environment. For those who loved pharmacology, it was nearly flawless.

If Han Tao had told Master back then that he wanted to conduct pharmacological research and needed to build such a laboratory, it most likely would not have been approved.

But now, riding Yang Wudi's coattails, Han Tao had achieved his goal as well.

"Pharmacology is mainly divided into two schools. One is Pure Pharmacology, and the other is Mixed Pharmacology."

Perhaps seeing Han Tao's eagerness to Seek Knowledge, Yang Wudi gave him a simple introduction to the different schools of pharmacology.

"Pure Pharmacology holds that certain methods should be used to extract the properties from different Medicinal Materials. A is A, and B is B."

"By using a certain formula to combine elements A and B, an entirely new element, C, can be obtained."

"Studying extraction methods, researching mixing formulas, and observing the properties of new elements—these are the core of the Pure Pharmacology school."

This kind of research bore some resemblance to the chemical equations from his previous life, making it very easy to understand.

This information was not particularly precious; the books contained corresponding introductions. Yang Wudi was merely repeating it.

"Mixed Pharmacology views Medicinal Materials as a whole, as an ecosystem, rather than something composed of several simple elements."

"What Mixed Pharmacology studies is the chaotic change produced when individual elements permeate an overall ecosystem."

"It can also be the chaotic changes produced when one ecosystem permeates another."

"Through certain methods, you can refine individual properties from Medicinal Materials, but not from the human body. The human body is not singular; it is inevitably an ecosystem composed of multiple elements."

"An ecosystem is a whole. It is diverse, chaotic, and complex. Soul Masters who study this field need inborn talent and uniquely endowed Spiritual Sense. My younger brother, Yang Wushuang..."

Yang Wudi did not continue, but Han Tao understood. Yang Wushuang was a genius who studied Mixed Pharmacology.

This portion of the theory was not in the books. Han Tao had not even heard of it before.

"We use the thinking of Pure Pharmacology, allowing a single element to permeate the complex, diverse human body, and the effect is immediate."

"But when the scale of time is extended, these beneficial elements gradually become homogenized within the chaotic ecosystem. It becomes difficult to calculate them with formulas and reach a conclusion."

"Therefore, my younger brother came to a conclusion: refining Medicinal Materials and concocting Elixirs can draw from Pure Pharmacology, but once Soul Masters are involved, the methods of Mixed Pharmacology must be used."

At that moment, Han Tao was taking notes.

That was right—he could not fully understand what Yang Wudi was saying, nor could he judge whether it was correct.

Suddenly, Yang Wudi turned around and stared at Han Tao.

"It seems... you haven't taken the Rainbow I gave you."
