Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1068: Strange Method

After the medicine concoction was finished, Zheng-Fu called out the pills that were in the cauldron and took out a jade bottle to collect them all, before closing the lid and holding it up to inspect it.

"Not bad at all! With the help of the Deity apothecary furnace set, these Qi Energy-increasing Pills are increased in quality to the ultimate Soul Level. Moreover, the number of pills has reached ten!" Zheng-Fu grinned in satisfaction and was extremely happy. Because concocting Qi energy-increasing pills this time went as well as he expected. Or perhaps even better.

"With these ten Ultimate Soul Level Qi Energy-increasing Pills, my energy must increase greatly. Maybe two or three levels. Or it might even be four levels." Zheng-Fu's thoughts were currently on the results he would get after he used these ten Qi Energy-increasing Pills. He thought that he would at least be promoted from the second level of the Genuine Deity Stage up to the fifth or sixth level.

But first, he had to destroy the evidence and remove the aroma of the medicine he had just concocted. Because if someone came in and found traces, it would definitely be a big deal. Zheng-Fu, therefore, quickly used energy to get rid of those scents by using burning charcoal along with deodorizing herbs to make the room smell of burnt stench from the many failed medicine concoctions.

Half an hour passed at the mission hall in Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower...

"Why did you come back so soon? Or did the mission you accepted fail?" As soon as the elder saw Zheng-Fu walking back in again, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked Zheng-Fu in a teasing tone.

"No, Elder. I have come to deliver the medicine as requested, sir!" Zheng-Fu clasped his hands and immediately answered the elder. Before he immediately picked up the bottle containing three Ultimate Excellent Blood Recirculation Pills and handed it to the elder.

Hah!?

"Are you saying that you've finished concocting Advanced Excellent Level Medicine? Do you know what the punishment is for lying that you concoct them yourself but not actually doing it yourself?" The elder could not believe his eyes and ears. He thought Zheng-Fu was lying to him because there was absolutely no way that Zheng-Fu could concoct the Advanced Excellent Level Pills in such a short time like this. Unless Zheng-Fu bought them and tricked him he concocted them himself.

"I definitely don't dare do that, sir. Besides, it wouldn't be worth it." Zheng-Fu knew what the elder meant. He was not stupid enough to do such a thing. Because the price of the pills available for sale was more expensive than the mission scores he would receive.

Umm!

Of course, the elder did not contradict Zheng-Fu's explanation. Just now, he was shocked to see that Zheng-Fu brought the pills to him in such a short time, thus he completely forgot about this matter. If the pills available for sale were cheaper than the apothecary's wages, why would people hire apothecaries? But even so, he still had doubts and could not believe that Zheng-Fu would personally concoct and take such a short time.

"Elder, please check to see if the medicine I concoct is correct and still fresh. You can also go to the concocting room lending department and ask them if I came out from there just now. And if you still don't believe I can concoct it for you to see!" Zheng-Fu did not want to explain any further. Therefore, he used whatever evidence he had and showed it to the elder. And if that still did not work, he would have to concoct in front of the elder.

"All right!"

The elder opened the bottle lid to examine the medicine inside as Zheng-Fu had told him. And when he opened it…

Hah!?

Why does it smell so good?

The elder's eyes widened in shock. Because he knew that the pills in the bottle had definitely just been concocted. Moreover, they were not the Advanced Excellent Level Pills as requested. But they were at the ultimate level pills that were comparable to the Low Marvelous Pill.

"Are you the one who concocted it? What about the recipe you used to concoct it? Is it the same as the one in the request?" The elder immediately asked Zheng-Fu a series of questions. Because he was very amazed and curious about how Zheng-Fu made the advanced-level pill increase to the ultimate level without him using additional high-level ingredients. If it was not about the ingredients, then it must have been about the recipe used for the concoction.

"I definitely did it myself! I have told you. And if you don't believe me, I can concoct it for you to see." Zheng-Fu ran out of words to explain. Because he had already told everything. Except for the things he could not tell.

Ah!

"Then let's go to the concocting room. I want to see it with my own eyes!"

Hah!?

Zheng-Fu thought the elder would just accept it and not ask any more questions. But it turned out that the elder eagerly wanted him to concoct it again, for him to see.

"There's no problem with that. But I don't have the ingredients to concoct. If you..."

"I'll take care of that myself. You don't have to worry. Just go with me and show me this medicine concoction!" The elder immediately interrupted Zheng-Fu. To him, the ingredients in concocting this kind of medicine did not have any significance. Because they were inexpensive and easy to find. But what mattered to him was Zheng-Fu's method of concocting.

"Then that's up to you, sir!" Zheng-Fu replied helplessly, unable to make the elder change his mind. However, he did not think much of it. Because concocting the Blood Recirculation Pills to the ultimate level, even knowing the recipe and method, not everyone could do it easily. It depended on personal skills and abilities.

Not long after that, Zheng-Fu and the elder arrived in the concocting room. The elder was the one who managed everything, whether it was preparing the room or the ingredients.

"But why are there so many people here, Elder!?"

But everything turned out to be different than what Zheng-Fu thought. Because the elder was not the only one in the room with him. But there were also seven or eight others in total. And from what Zheng-Fu could see, those people were almost all Two-star Apothecaries. Only two of them were Three-star Apothecaries. They were a middle-aged woman with a well-proportioned figure, especially her rounded breasts, which were incredibly eye-catching, and a middle-aged man with a thick beard and large monocle.

"They're my comrades. When they heard about this, they wanted to see it with their own eyes. I hope you don't mind their presence?" The elder smiled as mischievously as an old fox. He actually invited these people to come and watch, not because they wanted to come.

"Elder Xian-Tong, what you said is true, right? You don't just want to have fun to relieve boredom, do you?" a middle-aged man who was a Three-star Apothecary, as well as the elder, turned to ask the elder with a solemn and slightly dissatisfied expression.

"Certain! What I just said is all true. If you don't believe me, you can try gambling with me?" The elder did not explain much. He just challenged the middle-aged man.

You!

"You guys haven't changed at all. Every time you meet, you always have to bite each other. Will there ever be a time when this isn't the case? By the way, was that kid the one Elder Xian-Tong talked about? He looks so young!" the middle-aged female Three-star Apothecary with large breasts interrupted in an enticing tone. And as she spoke, her breasts also bounced up and down with the rhythm of her words.

"Senior Master Mei-Qun-Long. You're still as beautiful as ever. Even though you're in your mid-forties, your face still looks like that of a young girl. This must be the result of your famous 'Ultimate Soul Level Youthful Medicine' research!" The middle-aged man turned to look at the middle-aged woman. His eyes were a little lustful as he stared at her breasts without stopping.

Hehe!

"Senior Master Ren-Di-Jie said too much! I'm still so young and beautiful because I take good care of myself. I'm not like you, who doesn't like to take care of oneself and allows oneself to degenerate into a rotting piece of wood like this. I don't know if the piece of wood that represents your masculinity will rot as well?" But it turned out that she did not care and spoke back to the middle-aged man without consideration or embarrassment. And her words were both cut deep and piercing into the hearts of those who heard them.

You!

"Come on! Now that kid is about to start concocting medicine. We should keep an eye on it. Because maybe his actions will let us know something!" The elder did not want to interfere with the conversation between the two of them. Because he did not like this kind of thing. Therefore, he brought both of their minds back to Zheng-Fu, who was now beginning to concoct Blood Recirculation Pills.

Siiiiiiiigh!

"It seems like I can't hide anything. But so be it! Anyway, this kind of medicine concoction recipe I also borrowed from them. Consider it a payback for them!" Zheng-Fu could not help but let out a long sigh when he saw that he could not escape this fate. So, he thought it was a good way to pay them back.

When Zheng-Fu had everything ready, he immediately started concocting Blood Recirculation Pills as he had done before. In this second attempt, Zheng-Fu was able to do much better than the first time. Because he remembered all the steps and the right time. So, it was easy to concoct it again.

Hah!?

"Why doesn't he boil the bloody-smell monster beast's innards first, but instead chooses to boil the herbs first like that? Is he really concocting Blood Recirculation Pill?" one of the Two-star apothecaries said curiously. Because he knew the recipe for concocting this kind of medicine very well. He had concocted it many times before. Even though the results were only at an intermediate level.

"That's right! I have also concocted the Blood Recirculation Pills many times. It's not like this!"

Everyone in this room felt the same way. They had all concocted this kind of medicine countless times before. But none of them could ever concoct the Blood Recirculation Pills beyond the intermediate level.

"What did you two see?" the elder turned and asked the middle-aged man and middle-aged woman next to him seriously. He was very curious to know what they saw.

"Not only did he use a different method than the original recipe, but he also has good fire control. In the beginning, he used very strong fire. But after a few breaths passed, his fire weakened. Before it was increased again. And it's been like this until now. It's such a strange method!" the middle-aged man replied after he observed Zheng-Fu's actions. He thought that what Zheng-Fu was doing was strange and could not be used to concoct medicine. Every apothecary knew that doing this would make the temperature inside the furnace unstable and may cause the ingredients to deteriorate.

"I think so too! His methods were very strange. However, his apothecary furnace remained constant, and there didn't seem to be any bad changes at all. On the contrary, it caused the faint aroma of those innards to waft out. Normally, it would take several hours to create this kind of aroma from cooked innards! Or is it like this because of his method of playing with fire?" The middle-aged woman also thought the same. She was very confused when she saw Zheng-Fu's method of using the flames. But what surprised her was the aroma of the cooked innards, which normally must have been simmered for longer than this to get this kind of smell.

Umm!
