Chapter 561: Leaving the Customs and Hearing the Bounty

How much does a Xueyadan cost?
Putting aside the huge amount of money invested in the early research and development stage, the most intuitive way to measure it is with the bleeding pearls.

Zhou You tried it several times in succession, and after the delivery rate stabilized, about 20 bleeding pearls produced one Snow Bud Pill.

Due to the lack of a comparison group, I don’t know whether my skills are good or bad.

There are less than 200 blood pearls left. If you perform steadily and don't make any mistakes, you can refine about 10 of them.

Well, Zhou You plans to refine half and keep the other half. There is still a long time to go, and there is no guarantee that his skills will not continue to improve. He can refine again when the loss is lower and the utilization rate is higher.

After refining 5 Snow Bud Pills, Zhou You temporarily left the pharmaceutical engineering business and it came to an end.

According to scientific research procedures, new drugs must undergo clinical trials, especially when the drug is taken by oneself.

"Gu Lao, take medicine."

Zhou You summoned the puppet and first carefully checked the condition of the Qi and Blood Gu. Well, there were no hidden dangers or abnormalities.

Kunpengzi's body was in a state of living death, with pits and holes on his body surface due to burns, but his body contained a powerful essence force.

His situation is a rare one in a century. He was beaten to death after performing a realm transition, and he was not completely dead. He was controlled by the Qi and Blood Gu as a puppet, maintaining the same powerful martial arts level as before his death.

Under normal circumstances, his realm would generally drop, but Zhou You had a way to make him fall into a deep sleep to reduce the loss.

Look, when the puppet stood in front of him, it still had the aura of a powerful warrior of the first level.

"Taste it!"

The puppet was very obedient and swallowed the Snow Bud Pill without saying a word. After a moment, the powerful martial arts essence in his body began to flow and grow, and started to run spontaneously along the tendons.

After taking a powerful pill, this living dead puppet actually started practicing on its own, not only consolidating its realm, but also improving its strength.

Doesn't this mean that as long as there is enough medicine, this puppet can theoretically be improved infinitely?

However, Zhou You was reluctant to do so. The number of blood pearls was limited and the Snow Bud Pills made from them were extremely precious. It was not enough for him to keep them for himself.

As for the puppet, just give him a pill to taste and verify the efficacy of the medicine.

After observation, it was found that after five or six days, the puppet had digested the medicinal power of the medicine, and its martial arts essence had increased by two or three tenths compared to before.

With these extra essences, the puppet will undoubtedly be firmly established at the first level of powerful martial arts, without fear of exposing the details of its realm transition.

After seeing the effect of the medicine with his own eyes, Zhou You finally realized the meaning of "a medicine is worth a thousand gold coins". When he was in Chongguang City, he heard about another underground auction where a pill of medicine was sold for 10 yuan.

Now that he thinks about it, 10 taels is not expensive. Considering the cost of refining it himself, he would be unworthy of the labor and effort he put in if he didn't sell one Snow Bud Pill for 20 taels.

"Such a good treasure, selling it for money is a waste of resources."

Zhou You played with the pill for a long time and became more and more reluctant to let it go. It felt as smooth as jade and had a refreshing fragrance. He could not find any flaws in it.

He suddenly thought of a passage in the Medicine King Classic that described the elixir as "bright and brilliant, perfect and round". Now it seems that the word "perfect" not only refers to the appearance, but also the smell, color and other aspects that are impeccable.

In comparison, Xueya Dan still has a lot of room for improvement before it can become a magical elixir!
The only thing we can do is keep working hard!
Zhou You refined some medicinal jade according to the records in the Medicine King Classic to make containers for the Snow Bud Pill.

The appearance of medicinal jade is similar to colored glass, but it is the best at isolating air and preventing the loss of medicinal power to the greatest extent.

He placed 4 Snow Bud Pills in a jade medicine bottle and stuffed it directly into his arms and took it with him.

He pushed open the Yuanyuan Gate and walked into the inner courtyard, looking at the disciples and apprentices who were watching respectfully in front of the Gong Ding, "Hello, everyone."

Several apprentices knelt down and saluted on the spot, "Master, are you out of seclusion?"

A moment later, Qi Qingdi, full of confidence, brought everyone to meet Zhou You.

Zhou You looked Qi Qingdi up and down. Yes, after being promoted to a junior martial artist, his body became much stronger. "Qingdi, it is rare that you can break through the realm by yourself."

Zhou You reached out and touched his sleeves. Well, the short stick that he had made earlier had already been given to Qi Qingdi.

You should give me something else.

Zhou You casually took out a bottle of secret medicine, which was the product of his previous practice. Although it was far inferior to the Snow Bud Pill, it was a rare high-quality secret medicine for a martial artist.

Qi Qingdi smelled a hint of medicine and was pleasantly surprised. He bowed quickly and said, "Thank you, Master, for the reward."

The two martial artists behind him, Zuo Lu and Lan Chengxiu, had eyes full of envy that were difficult to conceal, as if they were his biological disciples.

Just as they were feeling sad, a black shadow flashed before their eyes and a Silver Tide Whale Swallowing Pill appeared in their palms.

Just smelling a hint of medicinal fragrance, the Qi and blood in the body began to surge.

These two have been stuck at the junior level of martial artist for a long time. The amazing medicinal power of the Silver Tide Whale Devouring Pill is not suitable for consumption at this level, but for them, if they find the right time, it may be able to be used to break through the realm.

"Thank you, Master."

Zuo Lu and Lan Chengxiu thanked him loudly and willingly.

"You have all worked hard during this period, and everyone will be rewarded."

Zhou You collected a lot of "leftovers" from refining the elixir this time. They were of little use to him, but were more than enough to reward his martial arts school disciples.

For a moment, Daqian Martial Arts School was plunged into a sea of ​​joy, and everyone came to thank the owner for his generous reward.

The atmosphere was lively, but it was interrupted by Zuo Twelve who rushed in.

"Master, something big has happened."

Zuo Twelve spoke very quickly, "The Thousand Faces Hall has added a new bounty today..."

"The target of the bounty is the Venerable Master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Square, Du Taiyue."

What?
Zhou You was in trouble when he heard this. This was clearly a provocation. War was about to break out again shortly after the peace had been resolved.

What is the status of Du Taiyue? He occupies a vast swamp and sea, breeds poisonous insects, and commits many evil deeds, but no one can stop him.

As a powerful warrior, he doesn't have to pay any attention to anyone. In the last battle with the wizards, other sects contributed manpower but the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Shop remained idle. If it weren't for the noble family hiring him with a large sum of money, and if he hadn't coveted the Book of Transformation, he wouldn't have even sent anyone.

This old poisonous insect is cunning and cautious. He stays in his lair all year round and rarely goes out.

Even though they were equally powerful, they did not dare to rashly enter the Wanli Swamp that he had managed for hundreds of years.

The so-called bounty on him is meaningless. The people that Qianmiantang can recruit are so numerous that even a single disciple of his can be easily destroyed, let alone Du Taiyue.

Zhou You was just curious. With such a terrifying target, how much would the bounty be?

As the saying goes, money can move people's hearts. If the price is high enough, maybe someone will risk their life to break into the territory of Wan Wan Du Secret Shop?
"The reward is one copper coin. You can redeem it by bringing his head to the capital."

One copper coin is not a lot...bullshit.

Zhou You was certain that this was a blatant provocation.

This bounty was not a prank, but a carefully planned plan to anger Du Taiyue and make him leave his lair on his own initiative.

A reward of one copper coin is really funny. After all, Qianmiantang's services are expensive. The starting price of service fee for each reward is 50 taels, which means that the service fee is more expensive than the bounty.

The purpose of doing so is self-evident, to lower the reputation of Du Taiyue and thus anger this Duwu Venerable.
