Chapter 96 - Pill Refining Talent

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

As expected, this pill refining can also help to train one’s control over spiritual energy. Changes in medicinal properties, changing hand signs and talismans, they are of great help in comprehending the paths of Heaven and Earth. No wonder those pill refiner’s cultivation speeds aren’t much slower than those normal spirit masters…

In the God Emperor game world, Zong Shou had chose a dummy control method. Simply put, he didn’t care about anything at all, and left it all to the system. There would be a certain success and failure rate, and the outcome was totally down to luck.

Large numbers of players were like that. However, there were some who chose to control the flames themselves, most of them pill refiners and medicine makers with great talent in real life. Like how he used the virtual environment to train sword techniques and talisman techniques, these people increased their pill making experiences using the game.

At this moment personally refining the pills felt really different. Zong Shou was just worrying about his soul power improving greatly. His soul ocean that had swelled up tenfold was showing signs of losing control.

At this moment, he decided to make pill refining part of his cultivation.

Sitting there aimlessly for half a day, Zong Shou estimated that the time should be enough. The power of the silver charcoal flame had started to weaken, and he immediately eagerly opened the lid to the furnace.

Inside was a gooey ball. Within the furnace was a ball of soft paste, the only few pill-shaped things all looked weak.

“The power of the flame isn’t enough?”

Zong Shou raised up the few pieces of pills doubtfully. They had a tinge of medicinal fragrance, but were soft, mushy and sticky to the touch. Looking at it, there was no way he would dare to put it into his mouth.

“Forget it, it’s my first time refining pills, at least I didn’t burn it. In two days I will coax Xue’er into trying one.”

He suddenly shook his head. This thing was different from that Luck Word God Talisman. Was it a spiritual pill or a poison pill? He wasn’t sure about it now.

Moreover, he was still feeling heartpained about that little brat, and didn’t want her to suffer.

“Let’s not do it on Xue’er, there’s probably no chance. Why not let that Li Yunniang try it. Or maybe look for cats and dogs…”

Stowing the few pills, Zong Shou also didn’t want to waste the medicinal paste. After rubbing it into a ball with his hands, he placed it in another bag and then started pill refining.

He had bought only thirty kilograms of silver charcoal. Zong Shou didn’t bother about exhaustion, opening up the furnace five times, using half of the overall amount.

Spending a full day and night, the pills within the furnace started to take shape. They looked like Dragon eyes, purely black in color. Be it smell or size, shape or color, they were exactly the same as was recorded in books.

Zong Shou suppressed the joy in his heart as he rushed out of the room.

Looking around, the courtyard was really silent and there weren’t any beasts or flying birds for him to feed the pills to. He suddenly had an idea and walked to the side of the pond, taking out a pill and crushing it before throwing it into the pond.

He was silently doubting. Dd he have such a great talent in pill refining too?

Just four times and he had made a true pill. Such standards could be compared to those genius pill makers in legends.

As the powder entered the water, who knows if it was because of the fragrance, the goldfish in the pond started to compete with one another for it.

And then, before his excited eyes, the fishes all powerlessly flipped to the surface.

Zong Shou’s eyes lit up. This monster pill known as the Meridian Spirit Pill did have such an effect, softening all the veins within the body and redressing Chakra Meridians. It had very few uses, but it was really invaluable.

And then all the gold fishes flipped over again. They tried their best to struggle, before their breathing totally stopped.

A cold wind blew over, sending a chill all over his body. Looking in the sky, at the huge sun, he still only felt coldness all over.

“This Meridian Spirit Pill does have some difficulty. Pill refining isn’t an easy matter, the people from the past spoke the truth…”

Silently sighing to himself, Chuxue’s exclamation rose from the side, “Young Master, did you go to dig coal, how did you become like this?”

Zong Shou was startled, and he used the pond water to see his reflection. The silver charcoal wasn’t totally without smoke. After a day and a night, his entire body was totally black.

His face was also black in color. His distinct white eyes, red lips and white teeth were even more eye catching.

Just as he gave out a bitter smile, he saw Chuxue look into the pool, her expression filled with shock, “Young Master you said that you wanted the Meridian Spirit Grass to refine pills to treat your Dual Meridian Body. Were you truly making poison pills? Is it like those who could be rubbed onto weapons or thrown into waters and poison a huge area? How quick…” It seemed like she was remembering the past when Zong Shou used the poison knife to force back Zhao Yanran. Chuxue’s eyes were shining brightly.

When Zong Shou heard that, his face flushed red, looking totally embarrassed. In just a moment he recovered, looking expressionless while also profoundly mysterious, “I haven’t succeeded, I am just testing out the effects. No one has tried to use Meridian Spirit Grass to make poison so I wanted to try. If this pill could be made, even Xiantian Masters could be poisoned!”

As expected, Chuxue’s eyes were filled with worship, a look like her hopes were taking off, so hopeful. Suddenly there were more people who walked out from the corner.

Coincidentally, it was Xuanyuan Yiren and Li Yunniang. Looking at Zong Shou, the two of them frowned. Xuanyuan Yiren sniffed, asking uncertainly, “The smell of charcoal fire, this fragrance is from medicine? I have never smelled it before, how weird…”

After a short while, her eyes focused on Zong Shou’s right hand. With just a slight movement she slipped in front of Zong Shou, grabbing his right hand, which had touched the medicinal powder. She smelled it, her face turning weirder and weirder.

Lastly, she stuck out her tongue and licked Zong Shou’s palm.

Zong Shou immediately felt his body shudder and the area beneath his abdomen felt warm. On the other hand Li Yunniang’s face turned totally black, her needle-like eyes could tear Zong Shou into a million pieces.

Xuanyuan Yiren didn’t feel that anything was up, focusing on the taste of the power, only then did her furrowed brows relax. “Using Meridian Spirit Grass as the main medicine, adding in rose root, windmill palm, palm ginseng, langerstroemia indica…,” she mused, finishing with, “and cantharis!”

Zong Shou was totally stunned, staring right at Xuanyuan Yiren, who had left yesterday and returned today.

This Meridian Spirit Pill had over twenty medicinal herbs, and she got each and every one of it spot on. What was her tongue made of?

He saw her deep in thought, “You are pill refining? The Meridian Spirit Grass in Demon Corpse mountain is slightly poisonous and was seen as pill refiners as a useless item, so why do you want to refine it into pills?”

Zong Shou wanted to explain that he wasn’t refining pills, but refining poison, only to see Xuanyuan Yiren look enlightened, a bright glow appearing in her eyes, “That’s not right. The combination between Meridian Spirit Grass and langerstroemia indica is to soften the meridians in the body and to remove poison. What a great pill recipe! Zong Shou, are you trying to use this to solve your Dual Meridian Body? If you could use a suitable body technique there is some chance…”

Zong Shou’s eyes were wide open as he stared at Xuanyuan Yiren, thinking, Is this girl a demon?

Just licking his palm and she was able to guess all of this?

In the next moment, another pair of eyes looked towards him. It was Xue’er, whose eyes were filled with disdain.
