The Secret of the Life-Creating Fortune Pill
"You mean the stronger the physical body, the more Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill will be consumed in the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique?"
"That's the only possibility!"
"If I first cultivate the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique to a high level, what about subsequently tempering my physical body?"
"The level of the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique will decline until it matches your physical body, or you can use the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill to compensate for the deficiencies in order to maintain the stability of your physical body's strength as much as possible!"
Medical School- trained cultivator can survive a stab wound, but few possess a body as strong as iron as Zhang Xuezhou's.
The number of pills required for the Nine Revolutions of Physical Body varies depending on the level of the physical body. In principle, the stronger the physical body, the more Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill are needed to promote the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique.
"That's it!"
Zhang Xuezhou's Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique originated from the Literary Excellence Pavilion in Huainan, while Chunyu Tiying was a legitimate successor of the Medical School.
The two had similar Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique, and each had their own methods of cultivation.
The significant difference in the resources consumed by the two stems largely from their different physical conditions.
Upon hearing Chunyu Tiying's analysis, Zhang Xuezhou felt a shiver run down his spine. He had never imagined that the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique and the Physical Body Technique were connected and intertwined, and that the cultivation requirements for different people were completely different.
"You used over a hundred pills to reach the fifth stage, just how strong is your physical body?"
Chunyu Tiying looked at Zhang Xuezhou.
Zhang Xuezhou was usually so unassuming that even though they had a lot of contact, Chunyu Tiying didn't feel that Zhang Xuezhou was anything special.
The other party was as ordinary as could be; when they were together, they often discussed medical skills. Chunyu Tiying never imagined that Zhang Xuezhou had such abilities.
If Zhang Xuezhou hadn't sensed that the cultivation Technique Method had deviated from the norm and come to her to discuss the matter, Chunyu Tiying would have had no idea of the enormous difference between them.
"My physical condition is so-so. You know I'm unreliable and afraid of getting beaten up, so I only did a little training," Zhang Xuezhou joked.
Although he was still joking, Zhang Xuezhou did have a somewhat worried look on his face when he was joking.
Even if he didn't seek quick success, but instead tried to extend the time to minimize the loss of the elixir, Zhang Xuezhou discovered that the difficulty of reaching the ultimate realm after nine revolutions would be extremely high.
Whether it's the improvement of physical techniques leading to a decline in the level of the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique, or the stabilization of physical techniques pushing the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique to Denggao, the outcome is uncertain. Achieving a balance and reaching the pinnacle is beyond the reach of most people.
"You're not even afraid of being stabbed in the back, so why would you need to practice the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique!"
Chunyu Tiying took a pair of scissors and stabbed Zhang Xuezhou's palm several times. Each time, she was pushed back by a gentle force, as if she were facing ten layers of old cowhide. Chunyu Tiying couldn't understand why Zhang Xuezhou would go to such great lengths to promote the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique.
"Of course I'm afraid!"
Zhang Xuezhou pursed his lips and shook his head.
His physical body technique had become Divine Ability, enough to evade the sharpness of swords and blades, but he had been stabbed by the Fish Intestine Sword and shot through the body by the Arrow Grass Spirit. Zhang Xuezhou knew very well that his physical body technique was not omnipotent.
He even possesses various Evasion Technique, but even today, he faces various limitations due to his level of cultivation; even the most advanced Grain Avoidance Technique has a time limit.
Zhang Xuezhou currently has accumulated over a thousand Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill. It would be a waste not to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Qi Uniting Technique. He is not a benevolent person who saves the world, and he will not be overflowing with compassion and give away medicines before he has even saved himself.
"Your body is so stiff now, even if you lie still, not many doctors can pry open your head," Chunyu Tiying said.
"Speaking of this head-picking thing, I suddenly remembered that the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill and the Life-Creating Fortune Pill have some similarities," Zhang Xuezhou said. "You'd better study this more; it might save your lives!"
"Really?" Zheng Wukong asked doubtfully.
Zheng Wukong was already old.
Just as Xu Ji was nearing the end of his life, Zheng Wukong's remaining years were also short-lived.
Chunyu Tiying, he was not concerned about his own rotten, wooden-like ailments; his interest lay more in medicine.
Zhang Xuezhou was very interested in the suggestion Zheng Wukong made at this time, but Zheng Wukong also had doubts about Zhang Xuezhou's information.
As a prominent rogue Rogue Cultivator in the medical field, Zheng Wukong knew about the top-tier pill, the Life-Creating Fortune Pill, and he was also familiar with the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill from the Medical School. These were two different pills for Zheng Wukong, not only with different effects but also with different methods of use.
"It's definitely genuine. I've personally witnessed its effects; it's no different from the Life-Creating Fortune Pill," Zhang Xuezhou assured him, patting his chest.
"Chunyu Tiying, what do you say?" Zheng Wukong asked.
"I don't know how to explain this, I'm completely baffled," Chunyu Tiying complained.
"Radiant medicinal light, top-grade!"
Zheng Wukong and Chunyu Tiying's doubts were quickly dispelled.
Chunyu Tiying had only ever sought to successfully refine the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill, never caring about its grade. But Zhang Xuezhou not only had multiple Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill, but also top-grade pills.
"The Yin-Yang School Alchemist are indeed extraordinary!"
Zheng Wukong finally spoke, realizing that it wasn't unreasonable for the Hanging Gourd Sect's alchemy skills to be so thoroughly outmatched; rather, it was because the Yin-Yang School's Alchemist were simply unreasonable.
"How was this made?" Chunyu Tiying asked, puzzled. "I don't think this is the level of alchemy you should have!"
Chunyu Tiying had worked with Zhang Xuezhou on alchemy before, and she was very clear about the limits of Zhang Xuezhou's alchemy skills.
Without a top-tier Pill Furnace and top-quality medicinal herbs, it would be virtually impossible to condense a supreme-grade elixir, and even the current Great Han imperial family would find it difficult to achieve both.
"I have the Tai Sui (a deity associated with good fortune), and good luck has descended upon me in a furnace!"
Zhang Xuezhou wasn't angry when his true abilities were exposed.
His alchemy skills were indeed insufficient to refine top-grade pills, and Qin Furnace No. 8 was not Pill Cauldron for nurturing top-grade pills.
However, Tai Sui altered the properties of the elixir, causing him to produce many high-grade and top-grade elixirs.
"So the pill contained a fleshy Ganoderma lucidum?" Zheng Wukong frowned and said, "That explains why you mentioned the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill and the Life-Creating Fortune Pill having similar properties!"
"Could there be a Tai Sui in the Life-Creating Fortune Pill?" Chunyu Tiying wondered.
"The Tai Sui has no medicinal effect, but it can continuously regenerate and grow," Zheng Wukong murmured. "The Life-Creating Fortune Pill must use the Tai Sui as a catalyst, which is why it possesses an unusual, uninterrupted, and continuous medicinal effect!"
"In other words, the Life-Creating Fortune Pill isn't as difficult to crack as imagined; its secret lies in the Grand Duke Jupiter, or some special Grand Duke Jupiter!"
That's right!
Zheng Wukong nodded.
Zhang Xuezhou only knew how to refine pills, but not why. Although he refined top-grade pills, he could not trace their origin.
The forms of Tai Sui are numerous, allowing Zhang Xuezhou to refine a medicinal effect similar to the Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Dan (Life-Creating Fortune Pill). The Tai Sui used in the two pills should be nearly identical, or even better, the Tai Sui that Zhang Xuezhou possesses.
"This Tai Sui is as hard as iron!"
When Zheng Wukong mentioned wanting to study Tai Sui, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but take out the Tai Sui used to refine the Tenfold Complete Great Tonic Pill.
Compared to the normal soft and limp Tai Sui, Zhang Xuezhou's Tai Sui was as hard as iron.
It appears to be only the size of a head, but this Tai Sui weighs over 800 jin (approximately 400 kg).
If it is soaked in water and its body is stretched out, this Tai Sui will inevitably expand several times or even ten times its original size.
Zheng Wukong and Chunyu Tiying exchanged a glance, now fully aware of the secret behind the Immortal Court's Life-Creating Fortune Pill being so difficult to replicate.
