What Kong Wanchuan said was right. A battle drug was different from the usual Chinese medicine for the patient. Rather, it had to be concocted in a special way to stimulate the hidden medicinal properties within the medicinal ingredients.
Compared to ordinary Chinese medicine concocting, this could be said to be a higher grade medicine concocting. This was also one of the competing competitions in the martial arts world, a battle medicine.
After all, he was not really concocting the ingredients, but rather refining the Gu. According to common sense, the Hundred Blossom Sky Poison Gu needed several types of medicinal ingredients that were poisonous, mixed them, and then refined them. Finally, he attached it to the poison of the Hundred Flowers Grass, and it would take at least a month for this process.
However, Lin Zichen only had two hours, so he had no choice but to use his zhenqi to catalyze it. When he was at Wu Village and Jade Snake Sect, he had coincidentally learned some knowledge about the Gu and was now of use.
Lin Zichen pushed out his palms, and a few herbs slowly floated into the air. They then began to rapidly rotate, looking mysterious and mysterious. Even Yan Song who was standing across from him couldn't help but be startled. This is … Origin Acupoint Charging Stage martial artist?
He was a martial artist, so he naturally knew how to use his true qi. To be able to control objects with just his mind, that was something that only someone in the origin realm could do. He looked like he was only a teenager. How could he have reached the origin realm?
Humph, it must be some unorthodox technique. Even if this person is a martial artist, he will never step into the Clasping Yuan Realm!
Time passed by second by second. The herbs in front of Lin Zi Chen slowly dried up. The water in the leaves had been sucked out by his Zhen Qi, and had started to slowly condense in the air.
Meanwhile, the Hundred Flowers Grass was located in the center of all the medicinal ingredients. It was slowly absorbing the poison from the other medicinal ingredients. The original emerald green color had already started to darken until it slowly turned black.
The corner of Lin Zi Chen's mouth slightly raised, true qi could indeed increase the speed of Gu refining. If this went on, two hours would be perfect!
In less than two hours, Yan Song had breathed out a mouthful of foul air. He needed to coordinate his internal energy in order to concoct the Phantom Gate Powder, and it would consume a certain amount of true energy.
”Dad, are you done?” Yan Jiayong asked.
Yan Song nodded his head slowly, ”The hell with it. This is the third time I've tried to concoct a concoction that I've learned by the age of thirty. The consumption of zhenqi for this herb is too draining.”
Yan Jiayong said excitedly, ”Haha, this can probably poison that guy to death.”
Yan Song smiled sinisterly. ”He will die without a doubt. This is the Hall Master's formula. Do you still not trust him?”
”How can that be? Hmph, this guy is finally not as arrogant as he is today,” Yan Jiazong said as he looked in Lin Zichen's direction. ”Look, he hasn't even started. He only has this little ability and he still dares to compete with you!”
Yan Song also looked over. Sure enough, Lin Zichen was still trying to activate the herbs. The Hundred Flowers Grass in the center had already turned black, and the herbs in the surroundings had almost dried up. Some of them had even been blown away by the wind. This old man has not seen such a method in concocting medicine for decades …
Not only Yan Jiayong, Yan Song, and even Kong Wanchuan did not understand what Lin Chen was doing. The ingredients needed to be mixed together, and the method included grinding, kneading, kneading, and so on, and finally being prepared by roasting, drying, and frying. Lin Zichen had already used nearly two hours of true energy to stimulate the medicinal plants, and had yet to truly fuse them.
However, what they did not know was that Lin Zichen was not concocting medicine, but refining Gu. Furthermore, he was using true energy to catalyze the refining of the Gu, and all of this was not visible to the naked eye.
”Shut up, it's useless to be one step slower and one step faster. In a while, poison that old bastard to death, and then I'll break all nine of your fingers, you little bastard!” Huo Qing said angrily.
”You …” Yan Jiayong pointed at Huo Qing. Although he had the urge to rush over and tear Huo Qing apart, he did not. The scene at the Celestial Dragon Club last time still left a lingering fear in his heart.
”Hmph, the time is almost up. By then, my dad won't even need to test the medicine. Let's just wait and see!”
Yan Song was not in the mood to listen to their bickering. He looked at Lin Zichen's movements and the change in the ingredients, and suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart. Was this some kind of demonic medicine concocting method? Even though I've never seen it before, those medicinal herbs are constantly changing. Perhaps this is another way of fusing them?
Finally, it was time. At the last moment, Lin Zi Chen abruptly pulled his hand back. In the middle of the medicinal plant, a black leaf fell. It looked as if it was burnt, and other than its normal appearance, it didn't have any other special features.
”Haha, time is up. Lin Zichen, where's your prescription? ”There's only a pile of ashes left?” At this moment, he was finally able to relax. The time was up, the competition was over, his father had come to make a melee, and Lin Zichen's medicine had already been destroyed.
Huo Qing looked anxiously at Lin Zi Chen, ”Master, it's alright. At worst, we'll just have to go and disobey. What are we competing for? Just f * ck them!”
Lin Zi Chen didn't pay any attention to Huo Qing. Instead, he adjusted his breathing and said, ”Testing the medicine is good enough.”
”What?” Testing the medicine? What do we try? ” Yan Jiayong asked.
Lin Zi Chen pointed at the black, withered leaf in his hand and said, ”Test it out.”
”Ah?” ”Hahaha, Lin Zichen, I think you're crazy right?” Yan Jiayong laughed out loud. ”This is the medicine you concocted?” I never thought that Old Kong would have such a method of concocting under his wing. It is truly an eye-opener, but at most, it is unhygienic and won't have any poison. ”
With that, Yan Jiayong took the Phantom Gate Disperse that Yan Song had prepared. Huo Qing walked to the center with the black, withered leaf in her hand. After exchanging words, the two of them went back to their own homes.
Lin Zi Chen looked at the door to hell and could feel its poison just by looking at its aura. It was truly worthy of being called a door to hell. If it was used by an ordinary person, then this trip to hell would have been certain.
On the other side, Yan Jiayong passed a black, dried up leaf to Yan Song with a smile. ”Haha, Dad, try the medicine. I don't think there's a need for you to detoxify it anymore. It's just a burnt leaf …”
