Chapter 255: Chapter 224 Intoxicating Heart Pill 1

Xu Mu, with the fragmentary Pill Recipes given by Du Beishuang, returned to his dwelling.

“Master!”

“Master!”

Ye Bufan and Xiao Feng, who were tending to the medicinal field in the courtyard, quickly saluted and greeted Xu Mu upon his return.

If initially, they held some prejudice against Xu Mu, their perception had changed entirely over these three years. Xu Mu had conquered them with his profound knowledge.

Whether it was his Alchemy Skill or problematic cultivation, Xu Mu could easily answer any queries they had.

Their cultivation had hit a bottleneck, which was why they had switched to learning alchemy. However, with Xu Mu’s help, their cultivation had once again made rapid strides. It was likely they would reach the Foundation Establishment Stage before turning thirty-five.

This rate was hardly any different from the talented disciples of the Inner Sect.

Let alone, their rapid progress in Alchemy didn’t go unnoticed either.

Among the same batch of disciples who enrolled to study at the Pill Hall, most of them could only refine tier one pills, while these two could barely manage to make tier two pills.

If not for Xu Mu’s specific instructions, the two would have been over the moon with pride.

Both understood that this was a rare opportunity that a cultivator might not come across in a lifetime. Hence, they held immense respect for Xu Mu,

“Hm!”

In response to their respectful greetings, Xu Mu just nodded and answered a few of their cultivation-related questions before retiring to his room.

In fact, he didn’t put much emphasis on their cultivation and learning. But his realm was far superior to an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, hence even a casual instruction from him was enough for them to benefit greatly.

Additionally, his experience in teaching children surpasses ordinary cultivators, which led to this outcome.

Given their pace of progress, completing their sect’s task within twenty years didn’t seem to be a problem.

Xu Mu didn’t stress over this. As long as he reached the Golden Core Stage, missions didn’t matter to him.

Upon returning to his room, Xu Mu took out the incomplete Pill Recipes given by Du Beishuang and started carefully studying and pondering over them.

Although his attainment in Alchemy Dao was not low, it was impossible to decipher this Pill Recipe without several decades of research—it simply involved too many complexities.

Every single Pill Recipe was a crystallization of wisdom and was not easy to crack.

“I’ll have to rely on the system!”

If he genuinely had to research for decades, it would be too late.

Xu Mu began to recall the Pill Recipes he had studied and forcefully pieced them together.

Indeed, forcibly piecing together. He embedded the content of other Pill Recipes, creating a seemingly complete Pill Recipe.

He then noted down the Recipe and checked the system again.

If the cobbled-together Pill Recipe could yield any medicine, the system would display it.

This was one way of using the system.

A regular Pill Master trying to complete a Pill Recipe would have happened similarly in the initial stage. They would find similar Pill Recipes and piece together the most logical Recipe based on their experience, then gradually experiment and correct the errors.

Although there’s only a single step difference between the two, the mental and physical resources invested were poles apart.

As for Du Beishuang, the Palace Master’s son, he probably handed over this nearly impossible task to him out of sheer desperation.

By cheating with the system, Xu Mu went to the Law Transmission Pavilion of Fairy Moon Palace and borrowed plenty of materials. After more than two months, he finally pieced together a seemingly reasonable Pill Recipe.

Tier seven-intoxicating Heart Pill!

The system didn’t display the specific function. Xu Mu, based on the pharmaceutical theory inside, speculated that this pill should be akin to the mortal’s hypnotic drug.

Theoretically, a tier seven hypnotic drug could knock down even a Golden Core Stage cultivator. This was already a type of poison.

“What on earth is Du Beishuang trying to achieve by refining such a dubious pill?”

Xu Mu touched his chin and pondered.

Xu Mu didn’t think Du Beishuang would be ignorant about this pill’s effects.
