Chapter 1380 - 711: Outsider (Part 2)
Yan Xiaobao took the medicine recipe and began researching. Soon, his eyes widened. In fact, the drug formula was not easy to understand, and many areas were still vague. Without real knowledge of how to formulate Level 4 Spiritual Medicine, it is impossible to understand it.
Even with such skill, the formula remains difficult. Fortunately, Yan Xiaobao’s skills in the way of medicine had already reached the point where he could formulate Level 5 Spiritual Medicine. Therefore, after studying the formula in detail, he began to understand it. In the end, he took a deep breath.
"This Reverse Blood Corpse Refining Pill uses corpses as a furnace to brew Corpse Pills. Forty-nine corpses must wither into the form of Corpse Pills. Then, combine forty-nine Corpse Pills together to make the Reverse Blood Corpse Pill!
"This is not a medicine intended for consumption by humans. It should be put into a refined corpse. With this medicine, the Shadow Zombies can be upgraded to the core formation level airborne Ghouls!!
"This is not a Level 4 Spiritual Medicine; it’s more like a Level 6 Medicine. This medicine has been simplified to some extent by the All-Purpose Doctors of the Way of Medicine. Only by splitting it into 49 smaller processes can it be successfully formulated by Level 4 personnel!
"Simplified Spiritual Medicine like this will be much weaker than the original medicine, and the success rate is limited. However, combining certain other techniques might increase the success rate a bit.
"So, spiritual medicine can also be formulated like this, right?" Yan Xiaobao could hardly believe it, so he decided to continue studying the formula. He muttered to himself, occasionally looking up at the Emerald Zombie.
After years of refinement by Corpse Peak’s elders, the Emerald Zombie has reached combat capabilities equivalent to the Qi Condensation Circle. If a breakthrough could be achieved, it would become a Shadow Zombie, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Giving such a spiritual medicine to the Blood Master would be a huge waste. It would be better to concoct it and use it on my own zombies... But in that case, how would I explain it to Corpse Peak? I can only imagine the bad things that would happen...." He pondered, looking at the medicine recipe. His eyes sparkled, and he continued to research further.
Time flew by. Half a month later, Yan Xiaobao suddenly looked up, panting. His eyes sparkled as he began chortling wildly.
"If I keep the first step unchanged, but tweak the final step a little, then I should be able to make synchronized Blood Corpse Refining Pills!
"After refining forty-nine Corpse Pills, I can use the Emerald Zombie to act as a large pill cauldron and ultimately reverse its blood flow. Once the pills are completed, a second pill will be produced, the synchronized pill. I can give the synchronized pill to the Bloodline Master, and if he uses it to successfully refine his corpse and breakthrough, my Emerald Zombie will be able to control it!"
Yan Xiaobao clapped his thigh and then bowed his head, laughing. His messy hair and excited expression made it clear he couldn’t wait to try this mixing method. After looking around, he began mocking himself.
"So, this is just a test, right? You can’t even make the Reverse Blood Corpse Refining Pill with a pill furnace." After some thought, he realized the medicine recipe was indeed a test. If he couldn’t understand it, then naturally, he couldn’t concoct it.
Only by truly understanding the formula could he actually formulate this medicine.
Thus, he stood up and called for the Great Elder of Corpse Mountain Peak. When he arrived, he said he needed forty-nine corpses and more flame stones. The elder didn’t seem surprised at all but began to laugh excitedly. He quickly made spell gestures, and then waved his fingers inside the Immortal Cave. With the emergence of a passageway, a rumbling sound echoed.
Shockingly, the passage led to an underground crypt!
Inside the crypt was a Blood Lake, surrounded by forty-nine zombies, all of which emitted a murderous aura.
Yan Xiaobao looked around. Hands clasped behind his back, chin lifted, he appeared dissatisfied.
The elderly man respectfully clasped his hands and said, "Ye Xue, old man, this is the real place for formulating medicine!"
He wholeheartedly believed in Yan Xiaobao’s skills in the way of medicine. The fact is, the Bloodline Master had given the same medicine recipe to many other Pharmacists, but none of them truly understood it. Only because he and the great elders could use certain ancient records did they know the real concocting method.
However, Nightcrypt had grasped the key aspects in only half a month. This elder was very excited. Seeing that Yan Xiaobao seemed displeased, he courteously clasped his hands again. After providing an explanation, he handed over a large batch of medicinal plants, softening Yan Xiaobao’s expression.
"Please leave," he said calmly. "Without my permission, no one may enter!"
The Great Elder of Corpse Mountain Peak clasped his hands tightly and then hurried away, more capable than before at concocting the Reverse Blood Corpse Refining Pill. Yet, after leaving, he hesitated for a moment, then sat cross-legged nearby.
"I should remain vigilant to ensure no accidental incidents occur!" Determined, he even summoned ten Bloody Elders of Corpse Peak to stand with him.
This kind of treatment is normally only offered to a Blood Master.
Yan Xiaobao ignored what was happening outside. In the depths of the crypt, he walked back and forth excitedly. In his many years of medicine preparation, he had never formulated such a large pill!
"Anyone above Level 6 is advanced medicine!" Yan Xiaobao took a deep breath. He ignored the ferocious auras emanating from the forty-nine corpses and spent some time inspecting the Blood Pond.
The blood in the lake mixed with heavenly rivers and powerful blood and Qi.
As for the forty-nine corpses, they were all specially selected. Though they were pale zombies, they were all at the peak of Qi Condensation. Not one of them had visible wounds, and they all possessed powerful corpse aura.
After some observation, Yan Xiaobao felt very satisfied. He sat cross-legged, meditated for a full day, bringing himself to his optimal mental state. When he opened his eyes, he waved his right hand, causing the medicinal plants to fly out from the holding bag. As they floated in front of him, he made a clenched gesture, causing the plants to break and turn into liquid.
More and more plants were added to the liquid. As Yan Xiaobao observed the process, he called upon All-Purpose Plants and vegetation techniques to analyze and adjust the substances. Then he sent the liquid into the surrounding corpses.
When the medicinal liquid was poured into the zombie bodies, it seemed to possess an almost intelligence.
"Each corpse pill made by the forty-nine zombies appears to be the same, but actually, they all have slight variations. In general, all pills must be intentionally flawed, leaving a small gap.
"The most difficult part of the concocting process is using the gaps in all forty-nine corpse pills to bind them together. Then, their complementing aspects will merge together, forming the final major pill." Sweat began to trickle down Bai Xiaochun’s forehead, but he paid no attention as he was completely immersed in the concocting process.
Time flew by. Soon, half a month had passed. Everything on Corpse Peak was quiet. Soon, the cultivators there began to relax. Many of them started to think that when it came to Nightcrypt’s pill concocting, the Middle Peak cultivators had indeed made a mountain out of a molehill. It seemed there was nothing terrifying at all....
A month passed, and nothing happened on Corpse Peak. To this point, the cultivators there were completely relaxed. As for the cultivators on the Middle Peak, they all felt astonished.
Having heard that Nightcrypt had gone to Corpse Mountain Peak, they prepared for a spectacle. But as two months passed, Corpse Peak seemed as it always had, and the cultivators of Middle Peak began to feel somewhat dissatisfied.
"How can we be so unlucky? I can hardly believe it! Plague Demon hasn’t caused anything on Corpse Mountain Peak!!"
"Why hasn’t the furnace exploded? Why hasn’t there been a diarrhea outbreak? It’s not fair!"
"Don’t tell me the Plague Demon has changed his personality?"
Another half month passed. The cultivators on Corpse Peak were fully relaxed, and some even forgot the fact that Nightcrypt was there concocting pills. But not the Middle Peak cultivators. They continued to watch Corpse Peak, as if refusing to rest until they saw the place plunge into misfortune.
