In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 200 Wu Ziying: Cult Leader, can eating this really make me stronger?
Just as Qi Hanyue was planning how to escape, Su Yuan quickly spoke up to explain:

"Student Qi, please don't misunderstand. Although our teaching does not have the formulas for pills, we do have samples of pills and the approximate proportions of medicinal materials."

"What I mean is, as the head of the Pill Hall, could you use this information to deduce the pill formula?"

"If you can do that, then Danfang's patent can be added to your name."

"Once our medicine becomes popular, you can collect huge patent fees."

Upon hearing Su Yuan's request, Qi Hanyue remained silent for a moment before shaking her head and saying:

"I can not do it."

"Master, it's probably because you don't understand alchemy. Reverse-engineering a pill formula is something a high school student like me can't do. You should find someone more capable."

Chen Nuoyi and Wu Ziying, who were standing to the side, did not seem surprised when they heard this.

This is the normal situation. Although they don't understand alchemy, they can guess how difficult it is to reverse-engineer the formula.

For Su Yuan to have such an ordinary country girl reverse-engineer the pill formula was truly a pipe dream.

As for why Su Yuan would make this seemingly impossible request?
Naturally, it was because they valued Qi Hanyue's two top-tier talents: "Acquired Alchemy Saint" and "Limitless".

He was certain that as long as Qi Hanyue was willing to work hard, she would be able to replicate the formulas for the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, the Six-Turn Golden Elixir, and the Three-Turn Golden Elixir.

Think of how much money we can save on the calculation of prescriptions!
Moreover, once a portion of the patent is transferred to Qi Hanyue, there's a high chance that this girl will be firmly tied to the Yuan Sect's ship.

Unfortunately, the other party's answer disappointed Su Yuan.

"Is it really impossible?"

Su Yuan said earnestly:

How will you know if it will work if you don't try?

“Qi, I think you are special. In the art of alchemy, you are far superior to everyone, including Zhang Baiyi.”

"I didn't ask anyone else to deduce the elixir formula; I specifically asked you to do it so that I could give you a platform to showcase your abilities!"

Am I special?

Hearing Su Yuan's sincere words, the girl was slightly taken aback.

Then, somewhat embarrassed, she lowered her head and said:

"Actually, I'm nothing special... Since you've put it this way, Master, I'll give it my best."

Su Yuan's eyes lit up.

Were you persuaded by just a few words of advice?

Surprisingly easy to handle.

But then, Qi Hanyue added:
"Master, if I can truly deduce the formula for the pill, could you grant me a request?"

Tsk, looks like I'm not so easily fooled.

Su Yuan sighed inwardly, but still smiled slightly:

"Whatever the request, I will do it if I can."

Qi Hanyue said expectantly:

"Could you please introduce me to Yin Qiyue, or any other artists from Yuanshi Media?"

"To be honest, I am a big fan of theirs, and my dream is to become a star as dazzling as them."

Su Yuan: "..."

He glanced at Qi Hanyue's talent list with some uncertainty.

They have absolutely no talent for acting.

Good grief, he keeps saying he wants to be a star, but apart from idolizing celebrities and talking about it, he hasn't taken any real action.

With your level of initiative, it would be a real waste to have the dazzling talent of "Wuji" on you.

If you put in a little effort, you'd be a top-tier internet celebrity like Yin Qiyue by now.

Su Yuan secretly resolved that once he had officially won over Qi Hanyue, he would definitely change the girl's personality and ruthlessly exploit her potential.

The Yuan religion does not tolerate such lazy people.

"No problem. If you perform well in the future, I'll arrange for you to debut directly, or even form a group with Yin Qiyue."

Su Yuan readily agreed.

The girl's beautiful silver eyes, hidden behind her huge black-rimmed glasses, immediately shone brightly.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yuan led the group to the swimming pool at Taihua High School.

Although he is no longer at Taihua High School, this swimming pool remains one of Su Yuan's bases.

Here, Su Yuan had prepared a large number of alchemy tools and even rented several precious analytical instruments.

"Master, where are the samples of the elixir?"

Qi Hanyue asked eagerly.

"This is it."

Su Yuan took out a box from his pocket, and after opening it, a pill with nine different colors appeared before Qi Hanyue, Chen Nuoyi, and Wu Ziying.

The three of them fell silent for a moment.

Because this nine-colored pill sounds like it's some kind of rainbow color, but it's not actually like that.

The nine colors of this thing are not clearly distinct, but rather subtly mixed together, making it look dirty, like a ball of clay made from nine different colored clays.

Qi Hanyue carefully examined the mud ball, then took the list of ingredients for the Nine-Turn Golden Pill and began to ponder it.

This made Su Yuan a little nervous.

He was well aware of the complexity of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir; among pills below the Foundation Establishment level, its refining difficulty was definitely among the top two.

Can Qi Hanyue, this acquired alchemy master, handle it?
After a long while, Qi Hanyue asked:

"Master, do you have any more of this kind of pill in reserve?"

Su Yuan: "If one sample isn't enough, I can get a few more."

Qi Hanyue said:
"If there are any extra samples, let's try feeding this pill to the test subject."

"I will determine the proportion of various medicinal ingredients in the pill by recording the performance of the test subjects."

"Given that this is a pill suitable for the Qi Refining stage, the test subject should ideally be a Qi Refining cultivator, or at the very least, a Qi Refining primate."

Su Yuan nodded.

At this moment, Wu Ziying, who had been watching the play for a long time, couldn't help but laugh:
"This medicine looks so ugly, it's obviously poisonous. Only a fool would want to take it."

Su Yuan didn't speak, but turned to stare at Wu Ziying, his eyes unblinking.

The smile on Wu Ziying's pretty face gradually disappeared, replaced by terror. She pointed to herself and asked incredulously:
"Could I be the test subject?"

Su Yuan calmly pushed the Nine-Turn Golden Pill to Wu Ziying:

"Otherwise, why do you think I called you here? To have you research elixirs?"

"Quickly take this Nine-Turn Golden Pill. Don't worry, the pill is absolutely safe. At most, there might be some side effects during the duration of its effects."

"Furthermore, this side effect does not contain any drug toxicity, and it will disappear once the drug's effects wear off."

Wu Ziying looked at the strangely colored and eerie pill, her expression almost bringing her to tears:
"Master, may I not eat?"

"This medicine looks so ugly, I really can't bring myself to eat it."

Su Yuan thought for a moment, then activated the Righteous Path Disguise, turning the Nine-Turn Golden Pill into a completely golden color, with nine-colored rays of light emanating from its surface.

"Wouldn't it look tastier this way?"

Wu Ziying: "...This isn't a matter of appearance!"

Seeing Wu Ziying making all sorts of excuses, Su Yuan became somewhat displeased.

He pulled Wu Ziying in front of him and whispered seductively:
“Xiao Wu, you’ve been in the top ten preparatory classes for a while now.”

"Didn't you realize how fierce the competition was in your class during this time?"

"If you want to stand out from the many geniuses in the preparatory class, the only thing you can rely on is your outstanding physique."

"After my development, your physical talent is very high, but it won't be enough without the corresponding cultivation resources to support it."

"This Nine-Turn Golden Pill is a sacred medicine for body refining. After consuming it, you will gain miraculous power, and surpassing Xiong Wei, the strongest athlete in the Federation, will not be a dream!"

Hearing Su Yuan's highly tempting words, and recalling her recent struggles with her studies, Wu Ziying's expression gradually shifted from resistance to wavering.

She gazed at the golden pill in Su Yuan's hand, and after a fierce internal struggle, asked in a trembling voice:
"Master, will eating this really make me stronger? How serious are the side effects...?"

Su Yuan: "Don't worry about the side effects, Nuoyi and I will cover for you."

"Besides, once this drug is mass-produced, I will take it myself, so there won't be any unacceptable side effects."

Wu Ziying gritted her teeth and finally accepted the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, closed her eyes, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The next second, a violent medicinal power erupted from Wu Ziying's body, almost forming a tangible substance!
The girl's exposed fair skin turned pink at a visible speed.

"Wow... such a strong medicine."

Chen Nuoyi's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

Qi Hanyue didn't dare to hesitate and quickly started recording the effects of the medicine.

As the medicinal effects erupted, Wu Ziying's physical body underwent a dramatic change!

Her blood, like lead and mercury, gurgled through her veins with each pump of her heart.

Each time the Qi and blood circulate, the girl's strength seems to increase.

In just a few seconds, Wu Ziying frowned, her beautiful brows furrowing, and said weakly:

"I am so hungry……"

Su Yuan immediately took out a large amount of food from his storage magic treasure.

The girl hurriedly grabbed all sorts of highly nutritious food in front of her and began to eat voraciously, her eating speed being no less than that of Chen Nuoyi on the day she awakened her bloodline.

It is easy to imagine how amazing the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir's strengthening effect on her physical body was.

During the strengthening process, Wu Ziying's figure became more and more harmonious. Originally, she was relatively strong among girls, but she gradually returned to a fair and slender figure.

This is not because she lost muscle, but because her muscle density increased.

A more graceful and slender physique can lead to greater strength and explosive power!

This is the kind of physique that many sports students dream of.

The only unusual thing about Wu Ziying was that the top of her head seemed to have become pointed, but fortunately, because the girl's hair was quite thick, it wasn't very noticeable.

It's no different from when I took the blue pills before; it will naturally return to normal after the effects wear off.

"Xiao Wu, what do you think?"

After Wu Ziying's transformation stabilized somewhat, Su Yuan cautiously asked a question.

Wu Ziying raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with an unprecedented wisdom.

She pointed to herself and said:
"Body-refining medicine must be able to refine the body."

She then pointed to the pile of food in front of her and said:

"Food must be delicious! Meals must be filling!"

She picked up a goose leg, stood up, and while eating, pointed to the floor and said:

"The floor must be flat, and the swimming pool must be filled with water..."

Su Yuan: "..."

Listening to Wu Ziying's eloquent speech, Su Yuan vaguely felt that the side effects of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill might be much greater than he had imagined.

"Su Yuan, will Wu become an idiot?"

Chen Nuoyi tugged at Su Yuan's sleeve worriedly and asked in a low voice.

"no, I can not."

Su Yuan tried his best to maintain a smile:
"And Xiao Wu hasn't become an idiot. What she said actually makes a lot of sense."

Chen Nuoyi stared at Su Yuan without saying a word.

Su Yuan couldn't hold back any longer and had to say:

"Make sure to lock Wu Ziying up properly, and wait until the effects of the medicine wear off in twelve hours before checking on her condition."

"If outsiders find out about these side effects, our pharmacy will be doomed before it even gets off the ground."

Time flew by, and twelve hours passed.

Qi Hanyue has already filled her notebook with clinical records.

Wu Ziying, who had been pointing fingers and gesturing wildly with her hands behind her back, immediately snapped back to reality as soon as the effects of the medicine wore off.

She turned to look at Su Yuan, her pretty face full of disbelief:

"Su Yuan, after consuming the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, I feel like I've suddenly become incredibly smart."

"It's as if they've grasped some kind of truth about the world, and can speak eloquently!"

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi looked at each other without saying a word.

Qi Hanyue quickly jotted down another note in her notebook:
"During the period of taking the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, the experimental subjects mistakenly believed that they were very smart."
