Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 419 The last step

This process is extremely lengthy.

In Hu Ming's perception, about two and a half hours had passed, and the process was only halfway complete.
This is only the process of extracting the medicinal properties!
It's easy to imagine that even with his current abilities and the system's rewards over the years, refining a perfect elixir of immortality would not be an easy task.

Finally, the extraction of the main ingredients was completed.

The golden Muchen Pearl drifted in from the personal space.

Muchen Pearl, also known as Phoenix Gallbladder.

In the sacrificial rituals of the Demon Kingdom, this object could resonate with the serpent god of the imaginary space and was considered by the ancient people of the Demon Kingdom to be the serpent god's eye.

But in fact, this thing is a rare and precious treasure created by nature itself.

The ability to resonate with the imaginary space and the power of the "Snake God" is primarily due to the unique feng shui location of the sacrificial site, which represents the opposition between life and death, and the ancient sacrificial rituals.

Under Hu Ming's pained gaze, just like several main ingredients, the Muchen Pearl slowly transformed into a ball of golden-red liquid.

The invisible power of the phoenix flames enveloped it, completing the final fusion.

The Muchen Pearl is a medicinal guide, the most crucial element used to enhance the effects of the other main ingredients and to allow their effects to blend and be sublimated!
Before their eyes, two tennis ball-sized volumes of liquid medicine began to be compressed.

Thick, golden-red smoke rose in wisps.

This process takes even more time.
Hu Ming waited for a whole day!
Finally, when Hu Ming withdrew his power, what landed in the system was a pill the size of an infant's fist.

It was entirely golden and red, flawless, and one glance told you it was not something that belonged to this world.

The entire pill was still gleaming, shimmering with a faint light, highlighting its extraordinary nature.

However, the problem is...

"No, this thing is so big, how am I supposed to eat it? Can I cut it up and mix it with water to drink?"

Hu Ming looked at the pill, the size of an infant's fist, in his palm and felt completely distraught.

"Swallow it whole..."

His lips twitched violently; he had a feeling that he would choke to death before he could swallow this thing!
"There's no other way, we have to fight!"

What have we strived for all this time? Isn't it simply to achieve perfect immortality?
Looking at the pill, a ruthless glint flashed across Hu Ming's face. He took a deep breath, waved to Zhang Qiling, and gestured for him to follow the Queen Mother of the West first.

Zhang Qiling frowned slightly, said nothing, and walked forward directly, forcing the Queen Mother of the West to walk with him!

Once Hu Ming saw that the two of them had walked away, he stuffed the entire pill into his mouth.

In an instant, Hu Ming's cheeks puffed up.

Just as Hu Ming gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and prepared to swallow it whole, a miracle occurred.
The moment it came into contact with the saliva in Hu Ming's mouth, the longevity elixir instantly turned into a liquid and dispersed in his mouth.

"Gudong!"

Subconsciously, Hu Ming's throat tightened, and he swallowed all the medicine in his mouth.

"Damn, this thing looks exactly like the elixir of immortality in novels!"

"You made me worry for ages!"

Hu Ming's eyebrows trembled.

Speaking of which, he's been wasting quite a bit of time here, and he wonders if the young man is getting impatient. But one thing Hu Ming is certain of is that the Queen Mother of the West is probably hoping that Hu Ming will be completely lost here and never see the light of day again.

As for the effects of the elixir of immortality, Hu Ming knew that once swallowed, all the effects would be latent in his body.

Achieving perfect immortality is never easy. Hu Ming still needs one last step, the final step to catalyze the drug's effects!
The target is the very core of the meteorite, the place where the supernatural power is most concentrated!
"It's been so long, Zhang Qiling, why don't we stop waiting? The agreed time is almost here."

"I think Hu Ming either died in some accident, or simply got lost inside the 'quarantine zone'."

"You know, once you lose your way inside, even a god couldn't get out!"

In the heart of the area, the Queen Mother of the West looked at the calm white mist before her and gleefully advised the young man beside her who was resting with his eyes closed.

“Hu Ming is different from the others; he hasn’t come out yet, and he must have his reasons.”

"...Just wait quietly. He can't possibly die, much less get lost in the 'quarantine zone.'"

"I have a feeling that Hu Ming will be out soon."

"Without even opening his eyes," the young man said calmly.

"whispering sound!"

The Queen Mother of the West pouted unhappily.

She knew there was no danger within the quarantine zone.

The only problem is getting lost; you could end up trapped there for the rest of your life.

But for Hu Ming, ...that was no problem at all!
The Queen Mother of the West had personally witnessed the inexplicable power of that intuition.

As expected, after the two waited quietly for about half an hour, the calmly flowing white mist in front of them suddenly began to fluctuate violently.

Amidst the disappointed gaze of the Queen Mother of the West, Hu Ming's figure slowly emerged.

"Strange, I feel like something strange has happened to you."

"It's only been a day since I last saw you, and I feel your aura seems even more perfect? ​​No, not perfect, to be precise, more refined!"

"It seems you're missing just a tiny bit before your aura reaches perfection!"

The Queen Mother of the West looked at Hu Ming with surprise and doubt.

Originally, many years ago, when Hu Ming proposed to stay in the most central place for a period of time, the Queen Mother of the West had some doubts.

Now, seeing Hu Ming's sudden change, the Queen Mother of the West felt that she should understand something.

However, the problem was that there was too little information, and the Queen Mother of the West had no way of guessing.

Judging from Hu Ming's spirit and energy, he was in an unprecedentedly good state, almost at his peak.

"You did it! Just one last step?"

The young man opened his eyes, carefully examined Hu Ming, and wore a faint smile on his face.

That was a smile of blessing.

What the Queen Mother of the West could perceive, he naturally also clearly discovered.
