Chapter 559 Seeking to Make Great Medicine

The New Year holidays are a leisurely time. While people travel around to rest and recuperate, they also don't forget the "heroes" who are working hard outside.

In the Wanli Swamp, the number one vest Lu Zhigang is still soaking in the big vat. The human-shaped pickles are not only tasty, but also pickled thoroughly.

He couldn't even have dumplings during the Chinese New Year. He must have worked so hard.

The second alias, Mo Yunzi, is in a newborn sect called "Kukong Mountain" in Caoshu Prefecture.

The powerful warrior of Kukong Mountain is named 'He Bugong', who is in the middle stage of powerful warrior. He has enlisted the help of six or seven noble families to open up a sect in this mountain range and build a foundation from scratch.

There are many things that need to be done for a newly established martial art, but the most important and primary task is to compile the boxing manual.

If the mountain gate foundation is the hardware facility of a martial arts school, then the boxing manual is the corresponding software package.

After the disciples enter the sect, they are required to wear certain clothes, practice certain basic boxing techniques, and learn about the rules of rewards and punishments, food and accommodation, etc.

Everything must be clearly stipulated and strictly enforced from top to bottom to ensure order and hierarchy.

No matter how powerful He Bugong is, it is impossible for him to estimate all aspects. And determining the rules of the sect is his sole responsibility and he cannot share it with others.

Therefore, he followed the practice of other founding sects and invited well-read scholars to help.

In addition to Zhou You's alias Mo Yunzi, eighteen other white-haired literati were invited into the mountains. They met and discussed all day long. Sometimes they would haggle over a single word for a long time and almost got into a fight.

He Bugong was not in a hurry. He was a powerful warrior with a lifespan of more than 500 years. He had enough time to complete this huge project.

His vision and hearing covered the entire mountain, and every move was under his control. Mo Yunzi had no choice but to lie dormant for the time being, with no way to escape.

There are also giant snakes, giant cranes, and giant earthworms...

The giant earthworms lie dormant at the bottom of the valley ten thousand meters deep, guarding the medicinal field of bleeding pearls. When there are enough mature earthworms, they notify Zhou You to pick another batch.

The big crane and the big snake acted separately to look for the few medicinal fields left in Black Cloud Mountain.

The places where the medicinal fields are located are all remote places with inconvenient transportation, or they are infested with wild beasts and poisonous insects. In addition, with the changes in the world, it is not easy to find the places in memory.

Through contact with the big snake and the big crane, Zhou You learned that they had found the remains of three medicinal fields. As expected, after the passage of time, the first two medicinal fields had become ruins, with nothing but weeds and moss.

As for the vicinity of the 3rd and 4th medicinal fields, there were several very powerful martial artists active there. Not only were they great in boxing skills, they were also equipped with powerful Qi and blood weapons. They had defenses in the sky and on the ground, and Dahe was forced to retreat several times whenever he approached them.

Despite this setback, Dahe was not discouraged. He asked Zhouyou to mobilize the big snake to help and swim over from underground.

The more powerful the person, the more hope there is for this medicinal field. This is a hard-earned harvest.

Everything is going according to plan...

Zhou You has a lot of blood pearls, but he doesn't have the ability to make them. It won't work if they rot over time.
He took advantage of the fact that he had enough experience points and upgraded his alchemy skills to Level 50, which was the threshold for becoming a Ganoderma Lucidum pharmacist.

Nearly a million experience points were invested, and the effect was immediate. Countless knowledge from the Medicine King Classics, plus the analogy of poison, witchcraft and other mountain stones, lit up the "database" node in Zhou You's mind.

In just a short moment, Zhou You's knowledge and experience have already leapt to the level of a Lingzhi pharmacist.

What remains is the actual operation, which synchronizes the brain and hands and transforms the Ganoderma lucidum pharmacist from a theoretical one into a practical one.

He first tried his hand at refining several high-grade secret medicines that were as difficult as the Silver Tide Whale Swallowing Pill. During the process, he changed from the initial stumbling blocks and it seemed as if with the help of gods, many details were swept away naturally and smoothly like flowing water.

After failing three or two times at most, one pill can be easily conquered, and all the tricks and difficulties of its refining can be mastered.

On the eve of the Lantern Festival, Zhou You had mastered more than a dozen mid-grade and high-grade secret medicines.

The secret medicine was no longer a problem for him. It was estimated that among the herbal medicine masters, few could match Zhou You's skills. The next level was the Ganoderma lucidum medicine master.

Zhou You has two kinds of rare treasures in his hands. There are too few white mushroom samples in the big crane's nest, and they are not worth wasting. There are a large number of blood pearls, and the medicine field produces them continuously, so they are the best things for training.

In the Medicine King Canon, there are several major medicines that use bleeding pearls as raw materials.

There are too many auxiliary materials and they are difficult to prepare, so they are eliminated; there are large investments, low outputs, and low cost-effectiveness, so they are eliminated; there are old materials and outdated content, so they are eliminated.

Finally, Zhou You picked out a powerful medicine called "Xueya Dan".

In addition to the main ingredient, the bleeding pearls, there are thirteen other auxiliary medicinal materials, all of which can be raised through Xingrentang’s channels.

According to a rough calculation, if you want to refine this medicine, you need to invest at least 70 to 80 taels of silver, and there is no guarantee of success.

Thinking of this, it is understandable that the Medicine King Sect’s medicine is so expensive.

Zhou You increasingly realized the role of sects in strengthening the martial arts. They were responsible for raising supplies, providing funds, maintaining medicinal fields, providing elixirs, etc. No wonder every powerful martial artist had to set up a sect.

Even a lone traveler like Bai Shiwu has to marry into a noble family, and is often forced to do so.

A penny can kill a hero, and without money you can't take a single step!
"Are you really going to do this?"

Hua Youxing looked at the list of purchased supplies and was speechless for a long time. Although Zhou You was very tight-lipped, she could roughly guess something.

What a big project this is!
She couldn't help but persuade him, "If you want to make medicine, you can entrust it to Yaowang Sect. With the guarantee of my Hua family, I can keep the secret for you, and even the handling fee can be charged at an internal price."

She is such a good wife, but making medicine is not about money.

The bleeding pearl is related to martial arts, and refining the elixir involves the Ganoderma lucidum pharmacist.

Even though the Yaowang Sect is a non-confrontational group that is only focused on making money in the secular world, it is hard to say how they would react if they learned of this.

Zhou You also wanted to do this for the sake of Hua Youxing's family, and didn't want them to get involved in an embarrassing incident.

"To be honest, I have a herbal medicine practitioner who has the potential to become a Ganoderma Lucidum medicine practitioner."

Hua Youxing was not satisfied with Zhou You's explanation. "Isn't that Qi Fengzi? Who else could it be?"

"It's not her, it's an old pharmacist. He's old and experienced."

Zhou You gritted his teeth and whispered to him, "I accidentally got a few rare treasures on the battlefield. I thought I would give it a try. If I can refine them into a great medicine, I can use it to honor Senior Yin Sanfen, and maybe I can ask him for help in the future."

Upon hearing the name Yin Sanfen, Hua Youxing also took him seriously. This powerful warrior was an existence that the entire Yaowang sect respected and revered.

At Zhou You's level, making friends with the other party and asking him to help you once is already the limit. If you can establish a solid relationship, you will definitely benefit greatly.

"I understand. I will never reveal this matter and will help you to the end."

Hua Youxing also understood the interests involved. Since it involved a major medicine, the Hua family's relationship with the Medicine King Sect would be useless. Once the sect knew about it, there was no doubt that they would usurp the throne.

"Is that senior reliable?"

Zhou You thought about it and felt that he was quite reliable. He gestured, "He can refine 10 kinds of elixirs of the same level as Silver Tide Whale Devouring Pill."

"What?"

Hua Youxing was shocked and speechless for a long time.
