Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 21 Medicinal Effect
Gula asked in return: "Don't you think we can't develop a better prescription?"

"Do not."

Tang San shook his head slowly: "You look so comfortable mixing medicines, so confident and calm, as if you were divinely assisted. Your grasp of the medicinal properties is simply terrifying. If you want to research new formulas, it's just a matter of spending more time."

In fact, in Tang San's opinion, if Gula's talent in medicine was placed in the Tang Sect, he would definitely be the best candidate for the elder of the Medicine Hall. With a little learning, he would definitely be able to innovate and develop more deadly poisons.

He really wanted to exchange his experience in making poisons with Gula, but unfortunately it was not convenient for him to reveal his knowledge of poisons at the moment.

He actually guessed right. There are poisonous Pokémon in the Pokémon world, and the most important thing to cultivate them is familiarity with toxins.

Gula's attainments in poisons are also at the master level. Combined with other skills, as long as there are materials, it is not difficult to develop poisons that are threatening to gods.

"That's right. The golden age for soul masters to cultivate is before the age of twenty. During this period, due to physical development and flexible thinking, the speed of cultivation is much faster than after the age of twenty."

“The sooner you earn your first sum of money, the better it will be to lay the foundation.”

After teaching Tang San, Gula lowered his voice and said, "Besides... who said they would give them the complete formula?"

The corners of his mouth curved slightly as he smiled, "Remember that previous experiment where the medicinal properties completely counteracted each other and the result was a pot of waste?"

Tang San suddenly understood, "You mean..."

Gula nodded. "If we remove one of the ingredients that harmonize the medicinal properties, the ointment's effectiveness will be immediately weakened by 30%. Furthermore, we envision that a flawless ointment should have the waste separated at the bottom of the pot during the refining process."

"After removing the blending ingredients and mixing the waste materials with the ointment, you need to wait for the body to automatically excrete the waste materials. Depending on the individual's physical condition, this usually takes one to two days."

"But the bone-strengthening ointment we refine can be taken indefinitely, maintaining peak training efficiency around the clock, so you don't have to worry about anyone catching up with us."

Gula understood Tang San's concerns, as he felt the same way.

If he was not sure that he could surpass everyone else, he would not make the prescription public. After all, he had not seen other people being so selfless and dedicated to the public. Human nature is selfish, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

As for the explanation of Tang San, it is a mixture of truth and falsehood.

Gula did not release the complete prescription simply to prepare a more watered-down paper.

This was a common practice in my previous life. Splitting a single achievement into multiple releases was a conscientious act, earning two shares of gratitude and trust from the world.

As for whether others would guess it, he did it on purpose.

Such smart people would not easily trust others, and that was not Gula's goal.

"As long as you have a plan."

Tang San's expression softened.

While they were chatting, the excess moisture in the ointment gradually evaporated. Tang San took down the pottery pot, picked up a dry bamboo piece and carefully scraped off the ointment, taking only the upper half of the translucent green ointment. The lower half was mostly impurities and needed to be discarded.

However, if you are reluctant to spend money, you can also use the ointment in the lower half, but it is not of perfect quality and can be taken unlimitedly, and it will take time for the body to detoxify.

Gula and Tang San would definitely not treat themselves badly and were unwilling to eat anything with impurities. Tang San simply poured out the gray-black ointment at the bottom and washed the ceramic pot with clean water.

Xiao Wu moved closer curiously, sniffing the scent of the perfect ointment. She caught a glimpse of white out of the corner of her eye and turned her head to see a few white rabbits trapped in a cage.

She pouted slightly, not very happy: "Why are you catching little rabbits?"

Tang San spoke frankly: "Refinement requires experimentation and cannot be given to humans. Gu Ge suggested using animals to verify the efficacy." Xiao Wu turned to Gula with a resentful look: "Can't other animals be used? Are you doing this on purpose?"

"We don't have any money. Big Sister Xiao Wu is so powerful in the academy, would you like to sponsor us?"

Gula finished the final changes to the paper without even looking up.

Xiao Wu curled her lips. She was so poor that she could hardly afford carrots, so how could she get the money to sponsor them?

She wanted to trick the beautiful girl into giving her some energy cubes to eat, but Gula was as hard-hearted as a rock and didn't give her any face at all.

Xiao Wu snorted softly, turned her head and looked at Tang San, clasped her hands together, her pink eyes curved, and acted pitifully cute: "Xiao San, can I have a taste of the ointment? Please."

Tang San couldn't resist Xiao Wu's coquettish offensive, and decisively handed the ointment he had just put into the jade box to Xiao Wu.

"A worthless lickspittle."

Gula muttered in a low voice. Tang San had heard Gula talk about licking dogs, and was suddenly teased. He scratched his head helplessly, and a blush appeared on his face. He turned back awkwardly to deal with the herbs and refine the ointment again.

Xiao Wu glared at Gula: "Don't bully Xiao San, he's so well behaved, much better than you, you stingy miser."

As she spoke, she stretched out her fingers and gently scooped out a little ointment, opened her mouth and put it in her mouth. The refreshing and cool citrus flavor went down her throat. It was so sweet and delicious that she couldn't help but squint her eyes and shake her scorpion tail with joy.

Tang San worked even harder, and his efficiency was 50% higher than usual.

Gula was speechless. Seeing Tang San's shy look after being praised, he sighed and shook his head. He and Tang San had never been in a relationship in his previous life, so why was there such a big gap?

It seems that I have to teach Tang San some love experience when I have the chance. Don't let bad women distract your mind. The best thing to do is to accompany him in doing experiments.

If you are pure and innocent, you should always stay pure and innocent. Falling in love is a waste of time.

Gula informed his clone to help him recall the love bible he had read in his previous life, and to guide Tang San onto the right path.

Tang San felt a chill all over his body and shivered. His eyes instantly became sharp, with a purple hue emerging in his eyes. He looked around suspiciously.

After finding nothing unusual for a long time, he lowered his head and continued.

Xiao Wu took three fingers of the ointment, and the first bite of the ointment began to take effect.

Her whole body was hot, her skin gradually turned red, and she seemed to have a lot of energy in her body that needed to be released.

"So hot, so hot!"

Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue in the heat and said anxiously, "Is there something wrong with this medicine? I feel so uncomfortable."

Tang San's mental strength was strong, and he had long since regained his composure. He reminded, "The main ingredient of the ointment is bone jade bamboo. Gu Ge discovered that when mixed with several other herbs, bone jade bamboo will have the property of attracting the vital energy of heaven and earth."

"Even if the ability to attract the essence of heaven and earth is very weak, it can greatly enhance the medicinal properties, offset the damage to the soul master's potential, and maintain high-intensity training for a period of time."

"Xiao Wu, you can go exercise outside. The amount of medicine you took will be depleted after about a quarter of an hour of full-strength exercise."

Tang San was afraid that Xiao Wu wouldn't understand, so he explained it in detail.

But Xiao Wu didn't understand what was said before. She only noticed that she had to exercise for a quarter of an hour at the end, so she immediately said with a sad face: "No, I don't want to exercise. If you hadn't told me earlier, Xiao San, I wouldn't have been greedy."
