"Washing away bad luck is truly wonderful!"

When Zhang Xuezhou returned to Shanglin Garden, the sky was already beginning to brighten. He then tested a batch of pills.

All the steps were the same as before, but a batch of two hundred "Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill" was finally formed, leaving him no choice but to comply.

Although the quality of the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill did not meet Zhang Xuezhou's ideal requirements, he firmly believed in the possibility of producing top-grade pills under the conditions of combining Tai Sui with a large base number for alchemy.

Even if the probability of others is 10% and his is 1%, the sheer size of the base is enough to offset the disadvantage.

The standard Pill Furnace of the Qin Dynasty were well-suited to a large production base.

Either they produce low- to mid-grade pills, or Zhang himself becomes wealthy and obtains the pills needed for the later stages of the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique.

Zhang Xuezhou, with his sharp ears, ignored the shouts from the Zhufu Yan the side hall opposite him after daybreak, and continued to perform the same operation.

Zhang Xuezhou had no problem with Zhufu Yan, but he was quite at ease at the moment and didn't want a middle-aged man with a difficult life to get into the Alchemy Chamber, lest his perception of Zhu Fuyan be skewed and he even blame Zhufu Yan, a person whose life had been unsatisfactory.

The fire in the stove was reignited and burned brightly, with the charcoal embers continuously being ignited.

If all the materials are prepared, alchemy does not require many people.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the large vats filled with medicines. He refused to believe that even if he used up all the auxiliary medicines today, he still wouldn't be able to produce the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill.

In the early stages of practicing the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique, it doesn't matter what quality of the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill you use; there's no distinction between low, medium, and high grades.

However, the higher the level of the Technique Method promoted by medication, the higher the quality requirement for the medication.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't want to have to search for medicinal herbs to refine pills when he reached a higher level, or have to give up the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique. This was the best time for him to prepare medicine.

There's never a better time than now!

As a close advisor to the new emperor, Zhang Xuezhou undoubtedly enjoyed various privileges, many of which were beyond the reach of ordinary officials.

With their interests aligned, the new emperor enjoys the benefits of the top-grade Qi and Blood Fortune Pill, while Zhang Xuezhou also hopes to possess the pill he needs.

May the ancestral master protect us!

May the ancestral master protect us!

May the ancestral master protect us!

After seven batches of pills were made, Zhang Xuezhou frowned slightly.

His luck wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't bad either.

The reason it's not good is that it didn't produce the highest grade of the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill; the reason it's not bad is that it produced the highest grade of the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill.

From the very beginning until now, he has refined eleven batches of the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill. He failed six times and succeeded five times, with one batch producing twenty-six top-grade Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill.

These top- Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill were translucent, with a surface resembling reflective glass, but they never emitted any smoke-like aura.

"You bunch of meat spirit mushrooms, show me some spirit!"

Zhang Xuezhou had two Tai Sui (a type of rare fungus), so he cut each one into two portions and added them to the last four batches of the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill.

As usual, the Pill Furnace is washed thoroughly to prevent residual medicinal dregs from affecting the addition of new elixirs.

Large boxes of charcoal were carried into the Alchemy Chamber. Just as Zhang Xuezhou was about to light a fire to warm the medicine, he heard the sound of a horse galloping rapidly closer, which made his face light up with joy.

"Whoa!"

He reined in his horse and landed with a swift stride. In just a few steps, Zhang Xuezhou could already see the new emperor's joyful face.

For emperors who have witnessed most of the world's material temptations, it is rare for a new emperor to exhibit such a loss of composure.

But just as Zhang Xuezhou desperately needed the Supreme Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill, the Supreme Qi and Blood Fortune Pill clearly gave the new emperor a huge surprise. It wasn't just one or two pills, but a full eleven.

If one aspires to Denggao True Self Realm, these eleven pills are the perfect complement, providing protection and guidance.

This will inevitably shorten the time it takes him to reach his dream cultivation level.

For the new emperor, this gain certainly exceeded his expectations.

He thought a lot. He considered the possibility of a neutral outcome, the possibility of a complete failure, and the possibility of an ideal state. He even fantasized about obtaining thousands of Fortune Pill, but reality was better than he imagined.

If he hadn't been at the Marquis of Pingyang and involved Princess Pingyang and others, the new emperor felt he would have arrived at Shanglin Garden yesterday.

"Ha..."

"You've come at the perfect time! Help with the fire!"

The new emperor was about to laugh it off and then express his gratitude and encouragement to his close advisors.

If Princess Pingyang hadn't spoken first, and if Zhang Xuezhou's wife hadn't given birth to another son, he might have even considered a marriage alliance with her.

But Zhang Xuezhou's words interrupted everything he wanted to say.

"I'll start a fire!"

"Yes, I'll stir the medicine!"

The new emperor hesitated for a moment, but when Zhang Xuezhou nodded, he had no choice but to swallow his words and then began to fetch charcoal and start a fire.

"I should have brought Qubing along! He's been so attached to the idea of burning charcoal here!"

"He can do it too, but we don't have time to call him now. Let's work together to refine a few batches!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded and then pointed to the four vats of medicinal herbs he wanted to refine.

I've closed the door!

"Oh!"

The new emperor nodded, then thought about how he had almost lost a fortune in pills when he opened the door earlier, and then gave up the idea of opening the door to call the Imperial Guards.

"What kind of elixir are you refining?"

The number of Demon Core is limited, and no matter how many other materials are available, they are useless. Without a medicinal catalyst, the Fortune Pill cannot function.

The new emperor was quite curious about the elixirs Zhang Xuezhou was currently refining using a large quantity of medicinal herbs.

"This pill is for prolonging life," Zhang Xuezhou said without hesitation. "It's Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill' that I learned from the Grand Physician Chunyu Tiying many years ago. One pill is enough to keep an ordinary person alive for three days, and it can also be used to assist in the cultivation of Medical School Technique Method!"

"This pill..."

The new emperor pondered for a moment and was quite surprised, feeling that it was rare to see Zhang Xuezhou with such a compassionate heart.

The life-saving elixir is useful, but not particularly effective.

At least in the eyes of the new emperor, he could not find a suitable candidate for the medicine, nor did he believe that anyone was worth spending a lot of money on medicine to prolong their life for two or three days or even less. Forcing people who were already suffering from illness to stay alive would only make them suffer more pain.

The boundaries between schools of thought are clear, and it is time-consuming, laborious, and resource-intensive to try to switch to a different Technique Method, and there is no guarantee that one can master it. Therefore, its application is more focused on personal needs.

"Who are you planning to give this pill to?" the new emperor asked curiously.

"I've always needed this kind of elixir," Zhang Xuezhou said. "You'll also benefit from taking it!"

What's in it for me?

"For example, if you give this to the soldiers of the three armies, and they take this life-saving pill after being severely wounded, they can at least stay alive until the army doctor comes to treat them!"

"Now I understand, this pill is good!"

After Zhang Xuezhou explained it to the emperor, the new emperor immediately thought the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill was excellent.

Whether it's hanging for a day, two days, three days, or even just an hour, pills that are useless in daily life become life-saving elixirs on the battlefield.

He felt that there was no limit to the quantity of this elixir; the more he produced, the better.

"The Office of the Inner Clerk never considered providing these life-saving pills to the soldiers on the battlefield. They were only focused on refining various hemostatic drugs, using them on everyone, regardless of rank. They're truly inhuman..."

After comparing the two, the new emperor couldn't stop muttering curses under his breath.

This made Zhang Xuezhou look at the medicinal purple lingzhi, and then at the backup medicine, polygonatum.

Although the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill can be used as a means of survival on the battlefield, this kind of medicine cannot be easily made. What is most important on the battlefield is hemostatic medicine, even inexpensive hemostatic medicine.

War involves a huge number of people and necessitates the cheapest means of survival, rather than relying on elixirs made from medicines that have been cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't deliberately try to correct the new emperor's thinking. He was more focused on the two Fortune Technique working together to refine the pill, which might increase the success rate of making the Perfect Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill top-grade product.

May the ancestral master protect us!

Words from the heart flowed from Zhang Xuezhou's mouth, and he even ordered the new emperor to help him get the medicine out of the oven.

The freshly baked white light caught Zhang Xuezhou's eye, causing his eyelids to twitch involuntarily.

After much anticipation and the use of various methods, the pills he sought for this batch of alchemy finally appeared.
