Chapter 99 I've succeeded, Daoist Master!

Lu Chen stared intently at the thick medicinal liquid in front of him, which gradually emitted a strange fragrance under the cover of golden energy.

His heartbeat gradually quickened.

It seems like it might really work out?

However, the next second, the liquid medicine in the iron pot suddenly began to boil, and in the blink of an eye, a burnt smell filled the air.

Lu Chen frowned and stirred the thick, blackened lump in the pot.

"It was almost done, and the heat wasn't too high, so how did it suddenly burn? What went wrong?"

He took out Yan Gudao's alchemy manual and searched carefully to see if he could find similar cases.

However, he had read this book many times, and while he couldn't say he knew its contents by heart, he was certainly very familiar with them. There was no similar situation.

"Could it be because of the iron pot? Does iron react with other elements?"

The 80th time.

Lu Chen found a clean clay pot and repeated the operation from last time, meticulously following the steps. But when he reached the last step, another burnt smell wafted over.

"This is strange. What's the problem? Could it be the energy? Is my golden energy too overpowering? Should I switch to silver?"

The eighty-first time.

Lu Chen switched the energy to silver energy.

The medicinal liquid in the casserole has caused a problem again.

However, Lu Chen revealed a look of joy.

This time, the medicine didn't burn; instead, it looked like it had been flash-frozen in a refrigerator, with ice crystals forming.

"Just as I suspected! It's because of the energy!"

Now that we've identified the problem, things are much easier to handle.

The worst thing is not knowing where the problem is and having to try things out little by little.

"Alchemy should also require the integration and balance of Yin and Yang, so neither the power of the sun nor the power of the moon alone will do."

He quickly wrote this down.

The eighty-second.

Following the same steps, when it came to the last step, Lu Chen carefully extended two fingers.

One finger represents the golden power of the sun, and the other represents the silver power of the moon.

Two thin threads emitted a glow as they slowly merged into the medicinal liquid.

As gold and silver mingled and yin and yang harmonized, the medicinal liquid began to slowly rotate as energy was injected from the left and right, subtly merging into a tai chi shape within the pot.

Lu Chen continued to inject energy, but suddenly heard a crisp "crack" sound from the casserole.

It seemed unable to withstand the force of the rotation and shattered!

Lu Chen stopped outputting energy.

"Change to an iron pot!"

The eighty-third time.

There was too much energy, and the liquid medicine suddenly sublimated into gas after reaching a critical point, leaving only a small amount, which was boiled down into powder by the fire.

The eighty-fourth time.

Lu Chen tried to reduce the energy input, but near the end, due to a slight difference in the Yin and Yang energies, it exploded again.

Then, Lu Chen got straight into the pot.

I tried more than thirty times in a row, from daytime to nighttime and then back to daytime.

The 120th time.

Lu Chen licked his lips, looked at the pool of medicinal liquid in the pot, and revealed a satisfied smile.

After numerous experiments, he determined the optimal amount of Yin and Yang energy. Now, it's time for the final step.

With eyes fixed on the pot, the gold and silver yin-yang pattern slowly turned into chaos, transforming into a pot of clear, green, crystalline liquid, as thick as honey, emitting a unique fragrance.

After a while, Lu Chen moved the iron pot away and let it cool naturally.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Lu Chen reached out and touched it. The liquid had solidified into something resembling donkey-hide gelatin, and it was warm to the touch.

He found a clean gauze, took out a lump of dough from the pot, cut it into long strips like dough pieces, and then rolled it into small balls.

Each one is about the size of a pigeon egg.

One batch of medicinal liquid produced 32 pills.

Through various medicinal bath formulas and his own pharmacological knowledge, he created a formula that could improve blood circulation, strengthen the body, eliminate impurities, warm and nourish the body, and repair damage and hidden injuries.

He called it "Qi and Blood Elixir".

It seems like it's done now!

I've succeeded, Daoist Master!

His grin widened until he finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha!"

He casually popped a pill into his mouth.

To his surprise, the pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a cool medicinal liquid that fell into his stomach.

Before long, a faint warm current burst forth from his dantian and surged into his body.

He savored the feeling.

However, the effects of the medicine wore off very quickly.

"Holy crap?"

He froze for a moment.

"That's all the effect? ​​No, it's more like I'm too strong, so the medicine is basically useless."

Lu Chen pondered.

He has a constitution that makes him immune to all poisons, so he is not afraid of being poisoned to death by the pills he created himself, but others are not.

"We still need to find something to test the pills on. We also need to see if the dosage and effect are too strong. I feel the effect is very small, but for ordinary people or martial artists in the Body Tempering Realm, will this effect be too strong? We still need to test it to avoid any accidents!"

He looked around, grabbed a large rooster, broke open a pill, thought for a moment, then took out a tiny bit and placed it in his palm to see if the rooster would eat it.

The rooster seemed to have smelled some delicious food and lowered its head to peck at it.

The chicken ate the tiny, rice-grain-sized medicine.

Lu Chen put down the rooster and looked at it.

A few seconds later, the rooster started to get restless, clucking and swaying from side to side, flapping its wings and flying up, then landing again.

Lu Chen was a little nervous.

Not long after, the rooster calmed down for a while and then charged at several hens.

"Um?"

Witnessing the indescribable scene for just a few seconds, the rooster dismounted from the hen's back, its comb becoming even more vividly red, and its feathers even smoother and more lustrous. Under the sunlight, they even faintly reflected a rainbow of colors. It stood tall and proud, majestic and awe-inspiring.

"He's not dead! I just wonder, could this pill have an aphrodisiac effect?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment and guessed that the rooster was too small and the drug was too strong for it, so it needed to vent its frustration.

He then went to the village's "breeding farm," which he had suggested being built specifically to supplement the villagers' diet with meat.

He found a large breeding boar and threw a small portion of the pill into its mouth.

Lu Chen could clearly see that the large boar's skin was somewhat reddish. After a while of agitation, it calmed down. However, it was clear that the boar, which was already muscular, now looked even more majestic and imposing.

I didn't see any signs of being in heat.

"Looks like it was a success!"

Lu Chen chuckled, but did not draw a complete conclusion.

Ultimately, this stuff is meant for human consumption, so we still need to find someone to test it on.

After leaving the village, he took to the sky and soon arrived in Shahu County.

Since he massacred Shahu County, the Green Bamboo Gang, the Black Pole Gang, and the Flying Eagle Horse Gang have all been wiped out, and the Black Killing Pavilion is gone too. For a time, the county even had a trend of not picking up lost items on the road, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

However, there were still bad guys. Although the Canal Gang and the Whale Gang were merged by the Flying Eagle Horse Gang, some thugs still survived.

Lu Chen quickly spotted a slacker who ate without paying, shoved an old man, and trampled on his vegetables.

Seeing the angry but silent expressions of those around him, Lu Chen nodded.

"You're the one!"

Passing through an empty alley, Lu Chen grabbed the other man by the back of the neck and pulled him inside.

"Who the hell dared to mess with me? You're asking for death, aren't you? Brother, sir, sir, I was wrong!"

The thug cursed subconsciously, but when he saw Lu Chen's muscular physique and how he was a head taller than him, he swallowed hard and immediately slid to his knees.

Lu Chen ignored him and instead took out a pill and shoved it into the thug's mouth.

The thug struggled violently, but failed.

Lu Chen's arm was as stiff as if it were made of iron, and he tried to vomit the pill, but unexpectedly the pill turned into water and fell into his stomach.

"Sir, I don't know where I offended you. I'll definitely change. I know I was wrong, and I'll definitely be a better person from now on. What did you give me to eat?"

The thug's voice was trembling with tears.

Lu Chen carefully observed the thug's condition.

"Don't worry, it's not poison! How are you feeling right now? Answer truthfully!"

Lu Chen asked coldly, then punched the wall next to him.

The wall was punched open, and the bricks and stones were smashed to pieces.

The thug's eyes widened in shock, his expression one of terror.

"My neck hurts!"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes: "Are you trying to be funny? I'm asking if you experienced any physical reaction after taking this medicine!"

The thug's body trembled, and a strong smell of urine emanated from beneath him.

"Grandpa, I... I feel so hot, what did you give me to eat?" He looked terrified.

"Good stuff, eating it will increase your strength!" Lu Chen watched as the thug's face began to turn red, and his blood rushed to his head.

The thug clenched his fist, seemingly sensing that what he was eating was very potent!

"I... I feel strong all over, very hot, and something is moving inside my stomach—Grandpa, I don't want to die! Please!"

The thug was so scared that he broke out in a sweat.

He thought something had crawled into his stomach, but it was actually the medicine working, and it was improving the body's heat flow!

After about fifteen minutes, the heat on the thug's body gradually dissipated, the red color faded, and he returned to normal.

Lu Chen could also clearly feel that the thug's muscles had become even more muscular and hard.

"Looks like it's working well!"

The thought arose in Lu Chen's mind, but then he suddenly heard a voice in his head.

"bite----"
