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

Chapter 37 – Brother Qin, you are truly a genius

Qin Yu dragged Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi into the inner room.

Li Zihao, the personal disciple of the Hundred Medicine Hall's master, was sitting on a wooden chair, wiping the blood off his hands with a handkerchief.

Li Zihao had a youthful face, about the same age as Qin Yu and the others.

As soon as he entered the room, Qin Yu immediately assessed Li Zihao's talent to see just how valuable this personal disciple was!

[Supreme Spiritual Root (A-Rank)]: A favored child of heaven, one in a million, progressing rapidly in cultivation, destined to become a powerful figure!

[Innate Alchemy (A-Rank)]: A born alchemist, with mental power far beyond ordinary people, possessing unique insights into various spiritual herbs and medicines, capable of becoming a renowned alchemy master!

[Reincarnation of the Medical Immortal (S-Rank)]: Born with knowledge of all medicinal properties and effects, able to easily master all disease treatments with a little study, possessing the ability to bring the dead back to life and heal bones!

"Damn! A golden legend!"

"Reincarnation of the Medical Immortal? That's incredibly valuable!"

Only then did Qin Yu realize that there was an S-Rank talent above A-Rank.

"Supreme Spiritual Root is only an A-Rank talent, could there be a spiritual root stronger than the Supreme Spiritual Root?"

"Who's the patient?" Li Zihao asked.

Before Qin Yu could speak, Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi took off their black robes.

Li Zihao was visibly stunned for a moment, then said, "I only treat people, I'm not well-versed in spirit beast medicine!"

Qin Yu explained again.

"You said they turned out like this after taking your elixir?"

Li Zihao seemed noticeably more excited after hearing this.

Having learned from past experience, Qin Yu quickly explained, "Let me clarify, I'm not a disciple of the demonic sect, this is really just an issue with the elixir."

"Of course, I know you're not a demonic sect disciple, you're simply a genius in the alchemy world."

Li Zihao excitedly took out paper and pen and asked, "What elixir did they take to become like this?"

"The Strength Pill!"

"The Strength Pill? The elixir that increases strength!"

Li Zihao looked up and seriously examined Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi, "How much did their strength increase?"

"At least five times!"

"Five times?"

Li Zihao exclaimed, standing up excitedly.

"Are you sure you refined the Strength Pill?"

"Absolutely, I used Bull Tendon Flower, Tiger Grass, and Broken Bone Tree Leaves to refine it!"

Hearing this, Li Zihao paced back and forth, exhilarated.

"A normal Strength Pill only increases strength by at most one-tenth, but this Strength Pill actually..."

"Genius, simply a genius, an alchemy genius!"

Li Zihao quickly wrote on the paper, "Using only three extremely ordinary materials to refine an elixir that increases strength fivefold!"

"By the way, how long does the effect of this elixir last?"

Qin Yu glanced at Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi, then answered, "It's currently uncertain, but I suspect it might be permanent!"

"Permanent?" Li Zihao was almost losing his mind.

He quickly added to the paper, "Effect is permanent!"

"Brother Tong, do you think there's something wrong with his brain?" Xiao Zhi whispered to Li Zhengtong.

Li Zhengtong nodded affirmatively, "If there's nothing wrong with his brain, I'll stand on my head and pee."

Qin Yu was also bewildered by Li Zihao's strange behavior.

This was the first time Qin Yu had encountered someone more eccentric than himself.

After writing, Li Zihao asked Qin Yu, "Does this perfect elixir have any side effects?"

Qin Yu, Li Zhengtong, and Xiao Zhi all looked at him with strange expressions.

'If you're not using your corneas, might as well donate them, if there were no side effects, would we be here watching you go crazy?'

'With such great talent, it's a pity he's an idiot!'

Li Zihao realized his mistake and said while writing on the paper.

"After taking the elixir, the arms elongate, the body is covered in black hair, eyes become vacant, suspected intelligence reduction..."

"Who are you insulting?"

Qin Yu hurriedly stopped Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi.

'Calm down, that guy has a Supreme Spiritual Root, we can't really take him on!'

Li Zihao glanced at the furious Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi, silently crossing out "eyes become vacant, suspected intelligence reduction."

"So this isn't a side effect of the elixir, that's wonderful!"

"Ahhhhh!"

"This is too insulting, I'm going to fight you!"

Li Zihao also realized he misspoke and sincerely said, "Sorry! I just have a habit of speaking the truth!"

Qin Yu: "..."

Li Zihao walked up to Qin Yu, grasped his hand, and asked, "May I ask your name, brother?"

"Qin Yu!" Qin Yu forcefully withdrew his hands.

"Brother Qin, you truly are an alchemy prodigy, a model for our younger generation of alchemists!"

If it weren't for Li Zihao's sincere eyes, Qin Yu would have thought this guy was mocking him.

Li Zihao said, "I am a physician and also an alchemist, specializing in refining elixirs with healing and restorative effects."

"But I've discovered a sad truth, which is that the current alchemy world is already decaying."

"Alchemists only replicate the elixirs left by their predecessors, using the same ingredients, the same effects, the same results, and ever-increasing prices!"

"The current alchemy world is a stagnant pool, devoid of innovation!"

"Why could the predecessors create so many astonishing elixirs, but we cannot?"

"I pondered deeply, for a full five minutes, and resolved to change all this, to create even more powerful elixirs."

"I shared this news with my master and elders, expecting them to be proud of my decision, but instead, I received a scolding."

"My master said I hadn't even understood the elixirs left by the predecessors, so how could I talk about innovation."

"But I disagree with this view, are the elixirs left by the predecessors necessarily the best, can't I create a more powerful elixir?"

"But my talent is insufficient, and I haven't succeeded until now!"

Qin Yu sighed, having a goal is good, but if the goal is too big, it's just aiming too high.

Qin Yu was about to comfort Li Zihao when he heard Li Zihao excitedly say.

"But your appearance, Brother Qin, proves that we are not weaker than the predecessors."

Qin Yu: "Ah! Me?"

"That's right, Brother Qin, your improved Strength Pill not only surpasses the predecessors in effect but also in duration, with only a negligible side effect."

Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi: 'Negligible side effect? As if this black hair isn't growing on you!'

"Brother Qin, your innovation will surely break this stagnant pool in the alchemy world, your innovation will surely become the banner of our younger generation, leading us to glory!"

Qin Yu: 'Huh? I just followed the recipe to refine an elixir!'
