Cultivate All You Want, Just Don't Ruin the Immortal World!

Chapter 33 – This Elixir is poisonous!

Li Zhengtong's face was flushed, and his breathing was heavy.

His arms began to lengthen, and the muscles of his limbs rapidly expanded. In an instant, he grew half a meter taller and several times stronger, standing there like a mountain of flesh.

Qin Yu looked up at Li Zhengtong, feeling an overwhelming sense of pressure emanating from him.

"This effect is too strong!"

Even Qin Yu was shocked by the effect of the Strength Pill.

'Wasn't it supposed to just slightly increase strength for a short time?'

'This is a slight increase? This is a massive boost!'

Seeing Li Zhengtong transform into a muscle-bound monster, Qin Yu estimated that his strength had increased by several times.

'This is too exaggerated!'

Li Zhengtong admired his developed biceps while grinning foolishly.

"This is amazing, it's the physique I've always dreamed of."

"Yu Ge, the elixir you made is too powerful. I feel full of strength now, like I could punch a cow to death with one blow!"

"I just don't know how long it will last."

Qin Yu extended his hand, "Come on, arm wrestle with me, let's see how strong you are."

Li Zhengtong took a deep breath and said disdainfully, "Yu Ge, can your skinny arms and legs handle it?"

"Are you questioning the worth of a second-level Qi Refinement cultivator?" Qin Yu rolled up his sleeves and looked provocatively at Li Zhengtong.

The two of them set up in front of the stone table in Li Zhengtong's courtyard. As soon as their hands clasped, Qin Yu immediately felt a surge of immense power.

Qin Yu didn't dare to be careless and immediately activated his technique, channeling the spiritual power within him to his arm.

"Heh!"

"Hey~"

Both exerted their strength simultaneously, and they were evenly matched.

Qin Yu was even more surprised now.

Li Zhengtong was only at Qi Refinement Stage One, yet after taking the Strength Pill, his strength was on par with Qin Yu's at Qi Refinement Stage Two.

Doesn't that mean this Strength Pill can help a cultivator fight across levels?

Never underestimate the difference of one stage.

After Qin Yu advanced from Qi Refinement Stage One to Stage Two, his strength increased at least fivefold.

'This elixir's effect is too monstrous!'

'And it's sold for only three Contribution Points per pill, that's too cheap.'

Just as the two were evenly matched, black hair suddenly sprouted all over Li Zhengtong's face.

Then it spread to his neck, chest, and continued downward.

This scene left Qin Yu dumbfounded, and in a moment of inattention, his arm was pinned to the stone table.

"Oh yeah!" Li Zhengtong raised his arms, very excited.

Qin Yu first rubbed his eyes, then pointed at Li Zhengtong's arm with a face full of horror, unable to utter a word.

At this moment, Li Zhengtong was covered in black hair, with a burly physique and elongated arms, looking just like a gorilla.

Seeing his good friend suddenly turn into a gorilla in clothes.

At this moment, he was still raising his hands, happily twisting his body, and making strange "Oh yeah, oh yeah" sounds.

Qin Yu was reminded of the circus from his past life.

If you added a unicycle below and a ball on top, it would be exactly the same.

Li Zhengtong saw Qin Yu's strange expression and thought he was upset about losing, so he hurriedly comforted him:

"Yu Ge, don't be mad, I only won because of the elixir you made, right?"

Qin Yu shook his head and struggled to speak, "You... what's happened to you?"

"Nothing happened to me!"

Li Zhengtong glanced at his arm, touched his face, and his emotions collapsed.

"Ah!!! Yu Ge, your elixir is poisonous!"

......

"Strange, why did he grow black hair? The Strength Pill doesn't have this effect!"

Qin Yu turned the elixir formula over and over, racking his brains but couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

Li Zhengtong sat in Qin Yu's courtyard, wrapped in a quilt to cover his black hair, looking pitiful.

"Yu Ge, think of a way, I look like a gorilla, how can I face people in the future?"

"Don't worry, maybe once the effect wears off, you'll return to normal."

"It's been two quarters of an hour, when will the effect wear off?" Li Zhengtong was about to cry.

Qin Yu scratched his head, 'The Strength Pill's effect only lasts five minutes, why is the one I made so potent?'

'Could it be because I'm persistent... no, no, no, how can I be distracted at a time like this.'

'Could it be the alchemist's persistence... no, no, no!'

Qin Yu shook his head, trying to dispel the chaotic thoughts.

'Why is the Strength Pill I made different from others? I followed the formula exactly, and if there was any difference, Senior Brother Li Ming would have said something yesterday!'

Qin Yu slowly turned his gaze to Li Zhengtong.

'Since there's no problem with the alchemy, it must be an issue with taking the pill!'

Li Zhengtong: "Yu Ge, why are you looking at me?"

Qin Yu: "Nothing, I think I've found the key to the problem."

"Really?" Li Zhengtong immediately smiled, "Where's the problem?"

"Don't worry, I need to verify it!"

Qin Yu started the alchemy furnace and began refining.

This time, after failing three times, Qin Yu produced another Strength Pill, and there was also that small white pill at the bottom of the furnace, but Qin Yu didn't pay much attention to it.

"Yu Ge, you don't intend to fight poison with poison, do you?"

Li Zhengtong covered his mouth tightly with both hands. Before figuring out the problem, if he had to eat another unknown elixir made by Qin Yu, he'd rather be a dog.

"What do you mean fight poison with poison, you've been reading too many storybooks!"

"Wait here!"

Qin Yu hurriedly left with the elixir.

To find out if the problem was with Qin Yu's elixir or Li Zhengtong himself.

It was simple!

Just find someone else to take the elixir!

"Xiao Zhi, it's decided, you're the one!"

Two quarters of an hour later!

Qin Yu pushed open his courtyard door with a second gorilla in tow!

'Ah, so it really is my problem!'

Li Zhengtong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xiao Zhi covered in black hair.

Sometimes, being miserable alone is truly painful.

But if you see someone just as miserable as you, it feels much better.

Qin Yu called this the "Failing Student Effect"!

Xiao Zhi glared at Li Zhengtong and silently sat beside him, looking utterly dejected.

Qin Yu stroked his chin, pondering which step had gone wrong.

Why did a perfectly good Strength Pill turn people into gorillas?

Suddenly, Qin Yu remembered the white pill at the bottom of the furnace.

If there's anything different about his process, it's that extra white pill, right?

Qin Yu felt like a detective who had found a crucial clue, the truth seemed to be surfacing.

'Within ten steps, there must be an antidote!'

'The appearance of that white pill must have a reason, it must be meant to counteract the negative effects of the Strength Pill!'

Qin Yu quickly found the two white pills and brought them to Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi.

"I forgot that the antidote comes as a byproduct, this is the antidote, quickly take it!" Qin Yu said confidently.

The two glanced at Qin Yu and stepped back.

Li Zhengtong took one step back, Xiao Zhi took two steps back.

Qin Yu handed the white pill to Li Zhengtong, smiling, "Tongzi, time to take your medicine!"

Li Zhengtong shivered and weakly asked, "Yu Ge, are you sure this is really the antidote?"

"Of course, when have I, Qin, ever lied to a good brother!"

"You can doubt my ability, but not my character."

"For a brother, I'd go through fire and water!"

Seeing Qin Yu's determined eyes, Li Zhengtong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to trust him.

He picked up a white pill and put it in his mouth.

Immediately, Li Zhengtong's pupils dilated, and he jumped up with all his strength.

Qin Yu and Xiao Zhi were both startled.

Xiao Zhi: "Good thing I didn't eat it!"

Li Zhengtong jumped around excitedly and said to Qin Yu, "Yu Ge, this pill tastes like bananas, it's delicious!"

"Delicious? Banana flavor?"

Qin Yu was dumbfounded, "So this pill isn't to cure the gorilla effect, but to tame gorillas!"

"What a disaster!"
