Spirit-Forging Pill

Riding on Wang Haoran's heavy investment, Zhang Xuezhou also began to use relevant instruments to conduct drug tests.

He had taken quite a few Spirit-Forging Pill, more than a dozen in total, and could accurately distinguish their medicinal properties. He had also seen various raw materials at the Goat Strength Demon King's place and even conducted extremely primitive taste tests.

Zhang Xuezhou purchased all the medicinal herbs in this truckload that might have similar effects; now it was time for him to distinguish them.

Some medicinal herbs need to be tasted to gradually perceive their effects, while others require instrumental testing to find the optimal alternative.

"This bitter lotus root is so bitter that I can't even express how bitter it is!"

Looking at the bitter lotus that replaced the old ginseng, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the side effects of the Spirit-Forging Pill had already been foreshadowed.

Given the choice between efficacy and taste, he would naturally prefer the former.

Regardless of what medicinal materials are used as substitutes, he must ensure that the efficacy of the Spirit-Forging Pill is achieved.

The low cost gave him the opportunity to keep trying and failing, and the accurate identification of the instrument also allowed him to begin to identify the medicinal ingredients in the Spirit-Forging Pill.

Although he still couldn't understand the fusion reaction produced by the combination of more than ten kinds of medicinal materials, and it was difficult to comprehend the chemical principles by which these components exerted their effects after entering the human body, Zhang Xuezhou only sought to achieve his goal, not to understand it.

As a mere facilitator, he didn't need to understand the principles, nor did he need to seek ways to further enhance the elixir.

In the other world, these studies are readily available; all he needs to do is find substitutes to test.

"Bitter lotus root can be quite harsh on the taste buds. Can you still taste its medicinal effects now?"

Watching Zhang Xuezhou concoct more than ten different colored medicinal pastes, Zhang Manqian felt a surge of nausea, a feeling she had previously experienced from being overwhelmed by the pastes of the Origin-Nurturing Pill. She couldn't help but feel a little worried, realizing that the days of constantly cultivating and advancing in her cultivation technique would be even more difficult.

"The effects of medicine are not perceived through taste buds!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head, took a small sip of the almost solidified Spirit-Forging Pill liquid, indicating that the preparation of the medicine was progressing very smoothly.

The medicinal herbs he selected could be combined to create hundreds of ' Spirit-Forging Pill '.

This process will inevitably result in many failures, but it may also lead to the emergence of the optimal solution.

Having prior experience in refining the Origin-Nurturing Pill, he was quite accurate in selecting medicinal materials. Coupled with his extensive purchase of various types of medicinal materials, this continuous testing undoubtedly showed signs of success.

At least Zhang Xuezhou was satisfied with this Spirit-Forging Pill liquid mixed with a large amount of bitter lotus. The effects of this liquid were about seven-tenths of those of ordinary Spirit-Forging Pill. So far, apart from being too bitter, no other side effects have been found.

Zhang Xuezhou will use this medicinal liquid as a base for the remaining preparations of the Spirit-Forging Pill. He will test it by constantly changing one of the medicinal materials, then two, or three, until the optimal formula is produced.

"Our research and development this time went relatively smoothly..."

Zhang Xuezhou was about to explain that this Spirit-Forging Pill had been initially successful, since the Spirit-Forging Pill he was comparing it to was produced by Zou Bugui.

If this were applied to an ordinary Alchemist, the effect of this Spirit-Forging Pill would be considered satisfactory, or even excellent.

His remaining task was to strive for perfection and produce a high-standard Spirit-Forging Pill.

As Zhang Xuezhou spoke, Zhang Manqian's eyes blinked, and a line of subtitles came out of Zhang Manqian mouth.

"I think I'm hallucinating!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head vigorously, belatedly realizing that this Spirit-Forging Pill, besides being indescribably bitter, also had the aftereffect of causing hallucinations.

The danger of taking this Spirit-Forging Pill during a breakthrough in cultivation is self-evident.

To some extent, the fact that this Spirit Spirit-Forging Pill could induce hallucinations in someone of his mental level suggests that its toxicity outweighed its medicinal properties.

Why did this table jump up and hit me?

When Zhang Xuezhou felt a bit dizzy, he realized he could no longer experience the effects of the medicine.

A bright moon floated through his mind, and the strange phenomenon before his eyes vanished instantly.

"Sis, you're hitting my head with a stick... Ouch... That hurts!"

"Are you crazy? Drinking that bottle of medicine like it's water?"

Zhang Manqian's voice came, and Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and dropped the container in his hand.

A few seconds later, he felt Zhang Manqian turn into a table, and then she was spitting out subtitles and hitting him on the head with a stick.

"Hit me on the head gently, I'm hallucinating. Knocking me out won't do much good!"

Zhang Xuezhou muttered something and then activated the Kunpeng Combat Technique again.

The bright moon floated across the sky, but the Gene Fighting Technique was not effective against hallucinations caused by drug poisoning. Zhang Xuezhou felt as if he had just broken free from the hallucination, but a few seconds later he fell back into it.

Table spirits, chair monsters, and light bulb sprites all appeared, as if all sorts of real-world objects had been given life.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that these monsters initially attacked randomly, but later they became incessantly noisy, making all sorts of strange noises.

"I want water!" the table spirit shouted.

"I think strong light is suitable for shining on me," the light bulb sprite exclaimed.

Why do you guys always give me your butt? I hate always facing a butt!

"But I like butts, especially big ones, they feel so comfortable to sit on!"

The two chair monsters kept making a ruckus until later, a bonsai monster with grass growing on its head came to mediate.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that this Spirit-Forging Pill was absolutely terrible.

Law Power continued to grow within him, but the absurd hallucinations made it difficult to effectively utilize the drug's effects.

In the dim light, he seemed to hear the familiar mechanical chanting of the extraterrestrial demons, along with the loud quacking of ducks.

"Quack, why do you keep trying to commit suicide? You're putting us in a really difficult position!"

As if endowed with the talent of speaking, it couldn't help but complain even when the duck quacked.

Those who believe in me will have eternal life!

"Shut up, you noisy, livid worms!"

"The will of God cannot be shaken!"

"Are you going to cooperate if he tries to commit suicide?"

"God's will is our goal, and we will never stop moving towards it!"

"Ugh, so annoying, quack!"

"God..."

"So annoying!"

The extraterrestrial demons exchanged their chaotic voices, prompting Zhang Xuezhou to mutter a few words before he began using the Kunpeng Combat Technique to dispel the illusions.

To his disappointment, as the poison accumulated and intensified, the effects of the Kunpeng Combat Technique became increasingly weak, and he even found it difficult to confirm whether he had unleashed this Gene Fighting Technique.

"It seems we can only wait for the medicine to take effect... medicine..."

As Zhang Xuezhou put down the Kunpeng Combat Technique, he felt as if his body was experiencing a fatal stimulus, and the Poison Repelling Technique was activated passively.

This sparked his interest, and he quickly cooperated.

The noisy sounds quickly faded away, and the table spirit, chair monster, and other creatures in front of Zhang Xuezhou began to return to normal, revealing the figures of Zhang Manqian, Xu Shengzhi, Huang Xiaoya, Zhu Feng, and Cai Li.

"You're awake!"

When the hallucination subsided, Zhang Xuezhou felt Zhang Manqian push his stomach, and dark water in his mouth gushed out like a fountain.

At the same time, countless magical Law Power accumulated within him erupted from every acupoint in his body.

Waves of blue light began to wash over his body, and the strange phenomenon became visible to the naked eye. His body seemed to be covered in a layer of electric light, which startled Xu Shengzhi and the others who touched his body, causing them to cry out in surprise.

"It's alright, you can go out now!"

Zhang Manqian was the first to notice Zhang Xuezhou's condition.

After the side effects in the body were significantly reduced, the positive effects clearly began to emerge.

Especially when Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that he was hallucinating, he had already poured the entire container of Spirit-Forging Pill liquid down his throat.

That was the liquid from nearly twenty portions of Spirit-Forging Pill, and the Law Power generated at that moment was likely crashing against Zhang Xuezhou's body like a raging storm.

"Accidents during experiments are truly unpredictable. If I had swallowed these drugs while hallucinating, I'm afraid my body wouldn't have been able to handle it, and I don't know if my brother would be able to correct it after he returns to normal!"

After conducting drug combination experiments for several days in a row, Zhang Xuezhou remained confident, mentioning that he had already achieved initial success in developing the second type of elixir.

However, after only a short period of drug testing, Zhang Xuezhou fell into symptoms of mental derangement, jumping and laughing like a mentally challenged person.

Zhang Manqian had no choice but to have Xu Shengzhi and others quickly find some chemical agents to induce vomiting through gastric lavage.

Now, a full thirty minutes have passed since Zhang Xuezhou drank the medicine.

Zhang Manqian felt that it would be difficult for a normal person to endure such a long period of mental confusion.
