Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

There is one person in the Dan Ding Division who is absolutely not to be trifled with.

That was Cheng Xiao, the physician.

Although his friend Yunhua was the head of the Dan Ding Division, that was not the reason.

Although his family member Jingliu was a powerful swordsman in the Cloud Cavalry, that was not the reason.

All the reasons point to his terrifying expertise in pharmacology!

To outsiders, Cheng Xiao seemed like a wizard from several eras ago, brewing potions in a soup pot every day.

Moreover, the ingredients for these herbal soups are unusually exotic!

Even the other doctors couldn't figure it out.

Surprisingly, these strange potions do indeed have some special effects.

Therefore, the people of the Dan Ding Si could only regard it as Cheng Xiao's exclusive secret recipe.

But no one would willingly try these strange potions, because even Cheng Xiao himself couldn't guarantee what their effects would be.

Yunhua felt a lingering fear every time she saw those strange materials.

For example: [a goat's beard], [a lizard's tail], [a frog's saliva], and even [a raccoon's tongue]!

These things are all stranger and more bizarre than the last!

Moreover, the thought of mixing all of these things together and drinking it makes one feel nauseous.

Yunhua always had to hold her nose before daring to enter Chengxiao's workshop, and Chengxiao even dragged her to try out the new potion.

"Cheng Xiao, where did you get such a bizarre prescription from?"

Cheng Xiao was somewhat helpless. These prescriptions were all calculated based on the properties of Qi magic. Although different combinations had different effects, after so many experiments, Cheng Xiao had developed a relatively complete prescription.

He just always liked to develop new drug formulas and needed to find people to test them, which is why people were terrified of him.

"This isn't just a simple prescription, this is magic!"

Yunhua shook her hand:

"Come on, magic? What era are we living in? We should believe in technology! Believe in science!"

"In a world with gods, both theology and science exist; they just follow different paths."

"Okay, okay, but isn't this magic a bit too outrageous? Are you sure you won't collapse after drinking this stuff?"

Cheng Xiao was somewhat unconvinced by Yun Hua's nonchalant attitude, after all, this was the wisdom of another world!

To demonstrate the power of magic, Cheng Xiao took out a dried pufferfish and soaked it in a green potion.

Suddenly, a strange green light appeared around the pufferfish!

Under Yunhua's curious gaze, Chengxiao's pufferfish suddenly shot out a green laser!

And it even shattered bottles and jars that were far away!

"Wow!"

Yunhua's eyes widened. Was this really something he recognized? Wasn't this potion meant to be drunk?!

Cheng Xiao said smugly:

"I told you this is magic, so what?"

"So when you were brewing the potion, you were actually chanting incantations?"

"Of course, potions and spells are inextricably linked!"

Yunhua immediately knelt down:

"Good bro! You have to teach me!"

Cheng Xiao kicked him away with some disgust:

"Don't try to get close to me! You're hundreds of years older than me, and you're still giving me that kind of treatment!"

"Hehe, brothers don't distinguish between boundaries!"

However, Cheng Xiao did not agree to teach Yun Hua magic, and Yun Hua did not press him for details. After all, it was just a joke, so how could she let Cheng Xiao actually teach her?

Yunhua shook her head:

"Although I don't need you to teach me magic, I still have to pay for the broken bottles and jars."

Cheng Xiao: "..."

After finishing his shift at Dan Ding Si, Cheng Xiao clocked out as usual.

With Yunhua around, no one would make Chengxiao work overtime, even though the Dan Ding Division still has many factions.

However, it is obvious to everyone that the Dan Ding Division's status has risen so high, so the internal factions all respect Cheng Xiao and Yun Hua.

After all, most of the people in the Dan Ding Si (丹鼎司) still love medicine and yearn to heal the sick and save lives.

It is only because of the factionalism of a few that those with ambition have no chance to rise, and those who do practical work are forever relegated to menial tasks.

Those who flatter and bribe their way into promotions are corrupted by this culture, making the Dan Ding Si (a government office) extremely decadent.

But now that the Dan Ding Si has regained its top position through medical skills, those who manipulate power have no place to use their abilities.

After all, the power within the Dan Ding Division ultimately depends on the level of medical skills. In the past, one might have been able to use political maneuvering to influence others, but that's no longer possible.

This also represents Yunhua and Chengxiao's reform of the Dan Ding Si's practices.

However, Cheng Xiao prefers to remain hidden behind the scenes, while Yun Hua, as the Si Ding, confronts him head-on.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the Dan Ding Division has improved a lot now; at least those with ability can be given important positions and promoted.

On the way back, Cheng Xiao stopped by Jinren Lane and bought a bag of fresh vegetables.

Yuzhao doesn't have the internet surfing that we have now, but it does have websites similar to Baidu Tieba.

Many people post on websites, some seeking help, others discussing various issues.

This was a great pastime for Cheng Xiao. After all, being able to play on a mobile phone after being transported to another world was the greatest happiness.

Back home, Cheng Xiao chopped vegetables, stir-fried them, and plated them all in one go!

He then covered the prepared food to keep it warm and went into his room to cultivate.

First comes the cultivation of Qi magic, then the nurturing of talismans with the power of destiny.

After so many years of growth, Cheng Xiao is only one [Tiger] talisman away from being unlocked.

This is also the reason for his distress. Without the Tiger talisman to balance Yin and Yang, many talismans cannot be used at the same time, otherwise it will cause their forces to repel each other.

Actually, unlocking the other eleven runes was thanks to Mirror Flow.

Fifty years ago, she beheaded a Nest Father named "Tu Pu" who had left Bu Li with a single sword strike.

As a powerful figure below the leader, the destiny power contained within him was extremely exaggerated, directly activating most of the talismans to a preliminary stage.

Cheng Xiao could sense that the unlocking of the [Tiger] talisman was also imminent, but it couldn't be changed by quantity; it required a higher quality of destiny power!

Does this mean I need power at the Envoy level...?

Cheng Xiao didn't know if he could fight the envoy now. The talisman's mechanism was powerful, but its numerical value was lacking.

However, with the blessing of destiny, destructive talismans such as the [Dragon] and [Pig] can exert even greater power.

Just as Cheng Xiao was feeling troubled, the courtyard gate was opened.

It's obvious without even guessing that those light yet steady steps must be those of the Mirror Style.

Cheng Xiao opened his eyes, got up, and walked out of the room.

"Why are you back so early today? Is there another battle going on?"

Jingliu smiled first, then said seriously:

"A planet eroded by abundance has appeared along the route of the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship... According to the intelligence reports, it is very likely the work of the living planet [Devouring World Rahu]!"
