The Great Pill

Zhang Xuezhou to seize the heirloom jade from Jin Chang was not a sudden whim.

The Puppet Technique that Ren Yisheng needed was in Jin Chang's hands, and Dong Zhongshu, who wanted to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of his own realm technique, also needed to seek out the two realm techniques of the Yin-Yang School.

Zhang Xuezhou not only held pre-existing ideas, but he also had an accomplice Dong Zhongshu.

Dong Zhongshu and Jin Chang were roughly equal in ability, but each had their own strengths.

Jin Chang undoubtedly possesses near-absolute advantages in many aspects, such as changing his appearance and concealing himself, but Jin Chang also faces the awkward situation of not being able to show his face at present.

Dong Zhongshu had thousands of disciples, and there were various ways of doing things accordingly.

Most importantly, they don't necessarily need to obtain Jin Chang's inheritance jade through force.

Some things, if done gradually, will eventually be obtained.

Overall, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his side was not at a disadvantage, but rather had certain advantages.

"And I also have Senior Brother Wu Chao to help me!"

Zhang Xuezhou was tormented to the brink of death by the Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Incantation, and even Wu Chao, who had cultivated the Yin Yang Great Joy Nine People Incantation, found it difficult to change this realm technique.

Even the Heavenly Court couldn't solve Zhang Xuezhou's problems with realm techniques, and the Western Sect's transformation of the Wu Chao realm technique is equally difficult.

Although Wu Chao is tens of thousands of miles away, Zhang Xuezhou believes that one day they will cooperate.

And they will absolutely not become the next Zou Bugui and Jin Chang.

"After all, Master Dong seeks the integration of Yin and Yang; perhaps he can resolve the problem of the Yin-Yang School's internal conflicts!"

Although he and Zou Bugui were talking in hushed tones, Zhang Xuezhou had already gone through a whole host of things in his mind.

Holding the heirloom jade given to him by Zou Bugui, Zhang Xuezhou showed no fear.

Even if things go terribly, he can still go to Western Kunlun to see the contents of the Inheritance Jade.

Jin Chang couldn't run to the Xieluosi River Holy Land to snatch Zou Bugui from the Venerable's side, and he was so careful when he went to the Yedie River Holy Land that he dared not reveal his form. In the more powerful and mysterious Western Kunlun Secret Land, which was also a forbidden area belonging to Jin Chang, Zhang Xuezhou could check and study the contents behind the inheritance jade without any trouble.

He was confident and unhurried when discussing things with Zou Bugui, speaking at a measured pace.

You're much better than your godfather was back then!

Zhang Xuezhou's calm demeanor wasn't feigned; he genuinely possessed the necessary confidence.

This made Zhou Bugui, who had been hiding in Jin Chang for more than ten years Zou Bugui with emotion.

His worries gradually subsided, and his emotions returned to normal. He no longer felt the urgency he had previously felt in passing on the Yin Yang Nine Heavens Sect's teachings.

"My godfather was a master alchemist back in the day; I can only refine a few Grain Avoidance pills and Origin-Nurturing Pill now!"

Zhang Xuezhou offered a flattering remark, which made Zou Bugui somewhat smug.

The two discussed many issues related to alchemy, and Zhang Xuezhou also offered some of his own suggestions.

"Why not refine one large pill for His Excellency, instead of refining thousands upon thousands? You must know that each dose of this medicine has a corresponding amount; too much will be poisonous, too little will reduce its efficacy. The larger the dose, the harder it is to control the balance of the medicinal properties. Our Law Power is insufficient to arbitrarily adjust such a high-level pill. It's like trying to cook hundreds of pounds of millet in a pot that can only cook ten pounds of millet..."

The Venerable One's physique is different from that of ordinary people, and the way he takes elixirs is also different.

However, refining elixirs is still a routine practice, and it is difficult to customize one specifically for Your Excellency.

Zou Bugui taught a few words of wisdom, a sudden thought struck him, even when he was rigidly adhering to old rules.

The amount of medicine His Majesty needs is simply too high. After refining one thousand pills, there will be ten thousand more. After refining ten thousand pills, there may be one hundred thousand more. This kind of consumption may continue until His Majesty can no longer feel the effects of the medicine.

He felt bound by his Zou Bugui, finding it difficult to see any hope, and thought he would spend his life refining elixirs until he died.

But Zhang Xuezhou's suggestion gave him a slightly different idea.

He was old-fashioned but not unenlightened. While refining normal longevity elixirs, he could also try to refine some of the great elixirs that Zhang Xuezhou mentioned.

One large pill is equivalent to dozens of other pills. If it can exert the combined medicinal effects of all the other pills, it can greatly reduce his workload, making it much less endless than before.

This kind of thing was difficult to do in the past, and it was impossible to use the Venerable One as a test subject for drugs.

However, a candidate for the drug trial has now been found.

If Zou Bugui's guess is correct, the life-sustaining effect of a single longevity pill will not be enough to save Tiger Strength Demon King. Demon King Luli and Goat Strength Demon King will come back later to ask for more pills.

"This allows Tiger Strength Demon King to test the medicine's effects; what if it works?"

After thinking it through, he began to look for a suitable combination for constructing the Great Elixir, as well as the adjustments to the Law Power that needed to be made when operating the Pill Furnace.

If the experiment succeeds, the medicinal herbs piled up in this palace will be quickly consumed, no longer piling up as before, making it difficult for Zou Bugui to see any hope of completing the refining process.

"Your weighing equipment is quite good!"

Zou Bugui on touch to dispense medicine, Zhang Xuezhou completely depended on his Law Artifact.

A feel for something doesn't come out of thin air; it requires a lot of practice to achieve subtlety and accuracy, and there's always the possibility of making mistakes in that feel.

The Law Artifact, on the other hand, are easy to handle, eliminating too many complexities and tedious steps. As long as you concentrate, it is impossible to make a mistake.

While having Zhang Xuezhou assist in refining the medicine, Zou Bugui looked at Zhang Xuezhou's Law Artifact, 'Heng', with great interest.

The structure of this Law Artifact is not complicated, but it is extremely precise in measuring quantities. If it is used to weigh large quantities of medicinal materials, it will obviously be easier than grabbing them by hand.

"This was designed for me by Erudite Dong of the Great Han Dynasty. He said it's a little trick from Lu Ban's art," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I rely on this to accurately weigh ingredients when refining Grain Avoidance Powder!"

"Quite impressive!" Zou Bugui exclaimed. "This kind of Law Artifact has limited use in ordinary times, but it's a rare and valuable item when needed!"

Zou Bugui Zhang Xuezhou to use the Law Artifact 'Heng' to take ten portions of the corresponding amount of medicinal paste from the large cauldron, and then take out his own Yin-Yang Water-Fire Pill Furnace.

Boiling medicine in a large cauldron eliminates the most time-consuming and Law Power process of simmering, while condensing the elixir still requires a Yin-Yang Water-Fire Pill Furnace.

Ten portions of longevity pill paste were placed into the furnace. Zou Bugui softly, he continuously channeled his magical Law Power into the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Pill Furnace, hoping to mold this pill, ten times its original size, into a single pill.

If the experiment succeeds, his workload will undoubtedly be reduced by ten times, or even more.

This is clearly not a pill that a normal person can take, but neither the Venerable One nor the Tiger Strength Demon King are normal people either, and normal pills have very little effect on such powerful demons.

Zou Bugui seek extraordinary efficacy for the medicine, but only that the pills take shape normally and have minimal toxicity. This also gave him the possibility of cutting corners to fulfill the Venerable One's instructions.

With a low chant, the blue light of his Law Power surged into the Yin-Yang Water-Fire Pill Furnace, continuously shaping this unusually large pill.
