Potent Pills

"Concentration makes the Spirit-Forging Pill more potent, but it's not the Creation Pill!"

The concentration of the drug's medicinal properties brought about a certain effect, and the addition of the alien insect demon pill further enhanced this effect.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that he had refined a potent Spirit-Forging Pill, with effects somewhat similar to the Spirit-Forging Pill he had refined using the medicine gourd.

This Spirit-Forging Pill is incredibly potent; even if Zhang Xuezhou takes just one, it can restore over 90% of the Law Power he has depleted.

However, this still falls under the category of Spirit-Forging Pill and is insufficient to promote the Creation Pills required for the Divine Ability Realm.

"Twenty-two million worth of medicinal herbs just vanished like that?"

Zhang Xuezhou's dispensing of medicines consumed money extremely quickly.

Zhou Yueyan watched as truckloads of medicinal herbs were transported to the B13 laboratory, where they underwent repeated boiling, distillation, and concentration before being formulated and prepared.

The process wasn't too complicated. Zhou Yueyan even felt that Zhang Xuezhou's operation was simply a condensation of the previous one, and she was the one who first proposed this condensation strategy.

The difference between Zhang Xuezhou's previous preparations and those of his previous ones was that he added a powder when decocting the medicine.

The finished medicine has turned into a wet mud-like substance, which can be rolled into pills by hand.

"Without considering the special ingredients I added, the average cost of these dumplings is around 220,000 per dumpling!"

Looking at the more than one hundred pills rolled into them, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Money is easy to solve; medicinal herbs aren't the main issue. The main issue is the demon core.

The good news is that the demon cores of the alien insects do indeed act as a catalyst for medicinal pills, enhancing their efficacy.

The bad news was that he failed to refine the Creation Pill, squandering his already limited number of demon cores after dozens of attempts.

There are three ways to solve the problem if the medicinal effects of the elixir are not up to standard.

One approach is to seek out new medicinal materials and utilize a more efficient formula that closely approximates the ingredients required for the Elixir of Creation.

One approach is to seek out a more powerful demon core to enhance the effect of the medicinal catalyst.

The third approach involves seeking highly efficient equipment for drug concentration, extraction, and refining to further optimize the concentration and refining process.

However, the probability of solving the problem using these three methods decreases with each subsequent method.

When raw materials do not meet the requirements, it is undoubtedly difficult to make up for it through post-production means.

"The results of this refining are acceptable, but I'm unsure if it will work on the Seventh Sequence or the ferocious beasts. We'll need to conduct further tests to know," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Are you going to give the former chairman the medicine for testing?"

"I can't afford to get involved in this kind of trouble right now!"

During her eight days in Zhang Xuezhou's blending laboratory, Zhou Yueyan's thoughts were in constant turmoil.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't mind her observing and recording, and didn't set any restrictions on her access.

But even though the money was spent, Zhang Xuezhou said the matter wasn't resolved.

The only good news was that Zhang Xuezhou said the pill-shaped medicine was more effective.

As for the extent of the enhancement, that will only be clear after testing.

Zhou Yueyan repeatedly reached out, but ultimately gave up on her idea of testing it.

She now has a fear of these medications that induce uncontrollable vomiting and no longer wants to take them voluntarily and then vomit.

Compared to liquid, viscous medicine, these mud-like, solid pills are obviously unsuitable for poisoning people.

Not only could Zhou Yueyan not administer the drug to Chang Kongluo for testing, but it would also be difficult for her to use this drug to harm other Seventh Sequence individuals.

Moreover, the bitterness from the concentrated form makes one question the meaning of life, and no normal person would dare to take such a drug.

"Which port in Qinmeng did Committee Member Zhou go to? I happen to be planning a hunting trip to Qinmeng next week, and I'd also like to ask Committee Member Zhou to do some drug testing." Zhang Xuezhou casually said, "If I could see Committee Member Zhou using the pills and comparing their effects, I might be able to notice some shortcomings when preparing the medicine next time, and thus possibly change the appropriate ingredients to create a stronger vomiting drug."

"Well... he landed at Huli Port, which is the normal berthing area for our Alliance States ocean-going freighters. My father also took this freighter to Qinmeng," Zhou Yueyan replied in a low voice. "He might appear at Huli Port on the 8th of every month. You can adjust the time according to the situation and see if you can successfully meet up."

For many, Zhou Xin's itinerary was a secret, and the location where he received supplies and survived in the Zhou Xin -Meng region was even more of a secret.

Zhou Yueyan had no intention of leaking the secret to Zhang Xuezhou, but Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that he needed to check the actual efficacy of the medicine, which was a test that Zhou Yueyan was currently unable to do, and their Zhou Household could not hunt ferocious beasts without Zhang Xuezhou's support.

They either have to rely on luck to hunt the corresponding ferocious beast, or they can only control the beast with these powerful vomiting drugs in order to complete the hunt in its full form.

Zhou Xin had a stroke of luck in hunting a ferocious giant bird, but the chances of him having good luck again were slim, and Zhou Yueyan was more inclined to let the latter take the lead.

She responded to Zhang Xuezhou in a low voice, and Zhang Xuezhou nodded with great satisfaction.

For him, information that 99% of people couldn't obtain was that easy, especially since Zhou Yueyan had taken the initiative to come to him. He only needed to ask a question to get the answer; he didn't need to ask anyone for help.

The remaining task was to contact Turkelando, something Ren Anran and the others did after returning to China.

If Turcolando is willing to cooperate, they can set off for Qinmeng again.

As for how to persuade Zhou Xin to go to the Tuer District of the Thousand Islands Alliance, and whether the Thousand Islands Alliance would allow Zhou Xin to Realm Entry, that's another matter entirely.

Having easily obtained the answer, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but glance at the hanging clock.

With Zhou Yueyan's cash support and the Zhou Household's help in purchasing medicinal herbs, he used less time than he had imagined. The only bad thing was that the Creation Pill was not successfully prepared, and even if it was close to the effects of the Creation Pill, it did not reach the desired level.

Even the most potent Spirit-Forging Pill still falls under the category of Spirit-Forging Pill, while Creation Pills only have medicinal effects on cultivators at the Divine Ability Realm and above.

This is not a matter of the body developing drug resistance, but rather that the stimulation and derivatives produced by the drug and the body's response are completely different.

It's like stepping from two dimensions into three; the ladder of drugs is difficult to break through.

This is no different from the fact that even the most powerful cultivators in the Body Transformation Realm cannot use Divine Ability, and this applies to Zhang Xuezhou and others as well.

He could force Yang Po to escape ahead of time, but Zhang Xuezhou did not possess the ultimate power of Technique Method that only those at the Divine Ability Realm could have, nor did he have a most prized Technique Method.

The Spirit-Forging Pill is only suitable for those below the Divine Ability Realm. It may push them closer to the Divine Ability Realm, but it cannot push them into the Divine Ability Realm, nor can it effectively support the recovery of a Divine Ability Realm cultivator's Law Power.

At this point, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to put aside his research on drug formulation and try to find more supporting materials.

"What exactly is the real effect of your drug?"

It's perfectly normal for Zhang Xuezhou to casually mix emetics in his own lab; it's a matter of personal hobby and interest.

Spending two million only shows that Zhang Xuezhou had a strong interest and the financial resources to support his extravagance, but when he brought in 20 million from Zhou Yueyan, she only squandered it for eight days.

Zhou Yueyan did not notice any particular enjoyment Zhang Xuezhou derive from this enormous extravagance.

For the first time, she suspected that Zhang Xuezhou's preparation of vomiting medication was not just a simple hobby, but rather that sending Zhang Xuezhou into the dangerous Qinmeng region to find Zhou Xin went far beyond the scope of a mere hobby.

She couldn't help but ask Zhang Xuezhou about the true purpose of developing this drug.

Compared to her emphasis on the vomiting effect, Zhou Yueyan felt that Zhang Xuezhou seemed to have other uses for this elixir.
