I Have Medicine

Chapter Ch194 - A Top Grade Little Whirlwind

If a bystander had said something like this, the numerous pharmacists would’ve naturally treated it as complete nonsense. They wouldn’t have been convinced at all. However, it was the Grand Elder who spoke this time. As such, not only did they believe it, they couldn’t help gasping in surprise:

“—Is what you’re saying true?”

“The Grand Elder’s meaning is that two medicinal pills were placed inside the same cauldron?”

“One type supporting another type. Could it be...”

“If it’s really like this, wouldn’t that subvert all previous knowledge?!”

“Let’s wait and see what kind of Revitalization Pill that teenager ultimately refines!”

The majority of pharmacists were crazed researchers. Hearing about such an extraordinary thing, their curiosity rose. They were itching to make Gu Zuo finish the pill refining immediately so they could capture and ask him to properly explain. What was the principle behind his refining of this medicinal pill? What they wanted to know even more was the product grade of a pill refined in such a way!

Unwittingly, Gu Zuo’s limelight had grown brighter. Although there were many pharmacists who were still prominently revealing their own skills, and while some medicinal pill reactions were very badass, none of them were as good at drawing everyone’s attention as Gu Zuo — Or to say, aside from the pharmacists who sat relatively far away and hadn’t heard the Grand Elder’s words, practically all the high-level pharmacists were awaiting Gu Zuo’s results!

Such a grand occasion hadn’t been seen for many years.

Sitting high above, City Lord Xin also sighed in his heart.

He absolutely never expected that the unremarkable Qingyun Sect teenager, whom he hadn’t paid attention to at first, could stir up the situation here and rile the moods of the many pharmacists in pursuit of his refining techniques. Even the Grand Elder had treated him with favor as a result...

This time, Danyun City had thoroughly lost.

On the contrary, Gu Zuo, who was sitting cross-legged on the field, didn’t care how many people paid attention to him.

One would know just by thinking about it. How could anyone be ignored after doing something with such great prestige? Right now, what he needed to do was to refine an especially good Revitalization Pill under everyone’s gazes!

Of course, while the Revitalization Pill wasn’t originally limited to the refinement of a single pill, he could only make one pill with the addition of the Spirit Devouring Pill... Otherwise, the range of influence from the Spirit Devouring Pill wouldn’t have been around ten meters. Rather, it would’ve been tens to hundreds of meters!

He didn’t have any animosity with the pharmacists who filled the venue. Making everyone lose would’ve been too aggressive. What’s more, there was still Xu Lingxiu! As a result, this performance was already very good.

Moreover, some things could cross public channels, which would raise the reputation of his dear big brother’s Medicine of Life...

Currently, Gongyi Tianheng wasn’t by his side. Gu Zuo himself could make some proper plans.

Everything was for the sake of the two being able to live even better lives.

The encapsulated main pill’s medicinal liquid was also in the middle of shrinking, and during the process of this shrinking, the color and luster became even more gorgeous and pure. None of the medicinal power leaked out. Instead, due to the continuous input of qi of the medicinal spirit, it had become even more consummate. It was clear and easy to see that a pure and extremely high grade medicinal pill was forming!

This wasn’t the first experience Gu Zuo had in refining such a pill. However, this was the first time he attempted this type of method. To him, it could be said that he found it very interesting.

Gradually, only a single, thin layer of radiance from the auxiliary pill’s medicinal liquid remained. The whirlpool above the pill cauldron had also become the size of a clenched fist. It wouldn’t take long for the medicinal pill to be fully produced!

Gu Zuo’s hand seals transformed again and again. His fingers intertwined to form countless after-images.

He absolutely couldn’t make any mistakes at this time!

Meanwhile, the numerous pharmacists on the viewing platform, whose moods had long stabilized like obstinate rocks, also had hints of fluctuations. They seemed somewhat...tense?

Soon, a keen high-level pharmacist blurted out: “Pill fragrance!”

The other pharmacists also immediately sniffed:

“This pill fragrance...”

“It’s very rich! Compared to those high grade pills, it’s even more...”

“Is it possible that, is that, that—”

“Don’t be impulsive! Wait for the pill to form, and we’ll naturally know then!”

At this moment, Xu Lingxiu had just finished refining the medicinal pill on hand.

What he refined was also a very powerful, magic pill. It was called the Falling Thunder Pill, and it was a medicinal pill that allowed one to evade thunder and lightning. When many martial artists practiced thunder-attribute martial skills and body cultivation methods, they needed to temper their bodies under heavenly thunder. And even if the martial artist had a valiant physical body, how could they withstand the might of the heavens? Thus, if one wanted to learn those powerful and mighty thunder-attribute martial skills and cultivation methods, they had to take analogous medicinal pills and use thunder and lightning to temper the body.

Because this type of pill used medicinal herbs that were imbued with the power of thunder and lightning in environments with heavenly thunder, the refining process generated arcs of thunder and lightning. These arcs would dash into the pill cauldrons of other pharmacists, striking the herbs inside into slag. Xu Lingxiu made use of this medicinal pill’s properties to conduct attacks — As for defense? For this type of medicinal pill, offense was the best defense!

After he successfully refined it, what he grasped in his hand was a high grade Falling Thunder Pill. This time, he had done better than normal, which pleased him somewhat. When Xu Lingxiu received the pill and lifted his head, he discovered that the field’s atmosphere didn’t seem quite right. Those high-level pharmacists were all looking at...Gu Zuo?

Xu Lingxiu was astounded, and also couldn’t help looking over there at Gu Zuo. ????????????????????аd. ᴄom

He just so happened to see the final bit of the whirlpool, which was formed from qi of the medicinal spirit, suddenly drop down into the pill cauldron. That pill cauldron produced a long groaning noise, and then a dense pill fragrance struck everyone in the face!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, an amber colored medicinal pill shot out from within the pill cauldron. It was precisely received into Gu Zuo’s hand. He spread out his palm and that pill glittered resplendently. Soon after, the brilliance was contained within, and it shone with a special type of beauty. Its color was pure, its scent was clean, and its qi energy was dense.

Someone couldn’t restrain their emotions and shouted out: “Top grade—”

“There’s no mistake! That’s a top grade medicinal pill!”

“A top grade Revitalization Pill!”

“It’s actually top grade...”

“It’s so rare! It turns out to be refined like this!”

Those high-level pharmacists clicked their tongues in praise.

The other spectators heard the two words “top grade” and couldn’t help raising their heads and looking around. They hated that they couldn’t immediately go to see. What kind of top grade medicinal pill was it? Their alarmed voices were naturally even more resounding.

At any rate, there were many pharmacists who had sharp ears and keen eyes. When everyone was crying out in surprise, the competitors heard what happened one after another. In a split second, because someone was too amazed, they neglected their medicinal pill, which was about to be formed. A trembling hand performed a hand seal incorrectly, and the pill cauldron suddenly exploded. In short, quite a few more pharmacists were eliminated.

But whatever the case, the matter of Gu Zuo refining a top grade Revitalization Pill seriously set off huge waves on the competition field!

After Gu Zuo withdrew his hand, he raised his eyes slightly. At once, he sensed the scorching gazes coming over from all directions, and his face heated up a little — Also, this was the first time he’d been stared at so much while “isolated and without help”. Suddenly, he longed to see his big brother again. What was he to do? If his big brother was here, Gu Zuo would’ve just hid behind him.

However, Gongyi Tianheng wasn’t here. As a result, Gu Zuo, who had settled this competition, could only sit in place. He did his best to calm his state of mind and to accept these stares. In passing, he put that top grade medicinal pill into a jade bowl on the side, and placed the bowl next to the pill cauldron.

Following that, those gazes all zoomed in and fell upon that jade bowl.

Gu Zuo simply wanted to think that the owners of those gazes were itching to throw themselves over and snatch the top grade Revitalization Pill to get a closer look...

He sat on pins and needles as another short time passed. At last, the period of pill refining had ended.

At this moment, not only Gu Zuo sighed with relief, those high-level pharmacists also sighed with relief. The whole time, they wanted to look at the top grade medicinal pill, but they had to restrain themselves so that they didn’t disturb the other pill battling pharmacists.

— At long last, they could start the commentary!

Only, even though they wanted to comment, they still had to come one by one.

The numerous high-level pharmacists promptly turned their heads and looked towards the first group.

Correct. They still needed to start from the low-level pharmacists’ results...

The finals deserved to be called the finals. The medicinal pills that the low-level pharmacists put forward were all very powerful. The ones who were able to protect themselves amid the pill battle melee had refined at least mid grade pills. After attacking others, particularly outstanding ones were able to refine high grade pills!

But what kind of experience did high-level pharmacists have? It was only natural that they quickly determined the rankings for this group. And then, they swiftly changed directions toward the second group’s pill battling contestants.

Gu Zuo felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise up.

This was probably...the cost of refining a top grade pill?

The high-level pharmacists had upright expressions. As before, they quickly commented on the members of this group.

After reaching mid-level, the standards of those medicinal pills had a qualitative leap. As a result, the pills refined by those pharmacists ahead of Gu Zuo all somewhat illustrated the extraordinary skills of each pharmacist. Moreover, the intrinsic quality of each pill was also very high.

Among them, the most remarkable one was undoubtedly Xu Lingiu’s Falling Thunder Pill. This pill’s color was a deep purple like a ball formed of Thunder Fire. As it rested in the hollow of his palm, the contrast with his fair hand seemed both beautiful and stunning.

Another person’s medicinal pill also wasn’t inferior to the Falling Thunder Pill. It was the Vermillion Bird Pill refined by the son of the City Lord, Xin Bailin. This pill’s shape was perfectly round and its color and luster was gorgeous. When it lay in his hand, it gave people an incomparably noble feeling like a firebird.

In clear voices, the two talked about their own refining techniques. Although the details weren’t recounted, after the overall process was revealed, it let others see their foundations and strengths.

Xu Lingxiu’s heart was also pleased. If it wasn’t for his exemplary performance, he would’ve been slightly inferior to Xin Bailin. But that didn’t happen, so it was already considered a partial victory.

Just when the two were trying to decide who was better, it was finally Gu Zuo’s turn with his Revitalization Pill!

Unlike the Falling Thunder Pill and Vermillion Bird Pill, which were magnificent just from hearing their names, the Revitalization Pill was merely a common treatment pill that the majority of mid-level pharmacists were familiar with. At this time, however, it appeared very different in this place because it was a top grade pill! A top grade pill that high-level pharmacists and even Golden-Level pharmacists had an extremely difficult time refining!

Like every medicinal pill before it, this top grade Revitalization Pill was presented for numerous judgments and commentaries. They almost loved this medicinal pill too much to part from it, but after each individual checked, everyone doubtlessly declared that it was a top grade pill!

Gu Zuo composed himself. Within everyone’s lines of sight, he opened his mouth to explain the refining process of this medicinal pill.
