Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 131 - 103: Something's Wrong with this Medicine_3

"At least 50 years, the older the better."

"Will this do?" Ghost Face held out the three-foot-long turtle snake tail, which was frozen by the Ice Seal Skill. The pattern on the tail was the same as the one Chen Yi had seen on the deck before.

Is it the same tail from the 150-year-old, first-tier, medium grade, turtle snake demon beast?

If such a tail was used as a catalyst in medicinal concoctions, how potent that medicine would be?

"It's enough." Chen Yi nodded and took the turtle snake tail.

What followed was the medicinal concoction process which he had performed countless times under the guidance of Elder Liu and Elder Feng.

The only thing Chen Yi needed to control was the success rate. He had to wait until Ghost Face brought out all the teenagers, especially Mr. Zhao.

He intended to perfectly concoct the vitality and blood enhancing medicine by the time Mr. Zhao was brought out. With the addition of Zhao's sacrificial strike, the timing would be just right.

Therefore, he needed to manage this process carefully.

As for the teenagers who had followed Chen Yi, whether they live or die after their blood was used for medicinal concoctions, he could not intervene.

That day, Chen Yi began the process several times.

Ghost Face was carefully observing and supervising each step,

but he found that Chen Yi's handling of the medical materials, his proficiency, and his knowledge about various medicines, their nature, and their taboos were all impeccable.

Ghost Face was completely relieved,

furthermore, he noticed that Chen Yi's concoction process was nearly identical to the method on his pill recipe,

Ghost Face now understood that Chen Yi wouldn't be able to sabotage the process even if he wanted to.

Indeed, Chen Yi didn't sabotage the process, but he didn't succeed in concocting the medicine on the first day either,

he practiced the process of concocting the spirit medicine a few times, from mortal medicine to spirit medicine, grasping its characteristics under the guidance of Ghost Face.

During the process, Chen Yi nearly succeeded twice, but thanks to his vast experience, he managed to destroy the medicine at the last moment.

"My apologies, Elder Ghost Face. This spirit medicine is significantly more complicated than any mortal medicines I worked with before,

Given my current abilities, I estimate that I need to practice a few more times before I can make it successfully."

"No, no, no, you're doing really well."

Ghost Face admired Chen Yi's proficient operating techniques, his special way of handling spirit medicine, and the visible progress in his medicine concocting,

Behind his mask, his hideous face was nearly cracking into a huge grin.

This kid, from his first day of contacting spirit medicines, could achieve such results, he was definitely a pill-concocting prodigy!

If it weren't for the fact that his actions were unscrupulous, he would like to keep this kid and groom him into his personal alchemist!

"Kid, how many more days do you think will be needed for successful concoction?

I need to figure out the best tempo for the main pill concocting process to make sure it starts when your medicine is ready."

Chen Yi thought for a moment: "I anticipate, the day after tomorrow?"

Ghost Face laughed heartily, "The day after tomorrow, that's a great time!"

After that, Chen Yi was settled into a solitary wooden house on the island. Perhaps to prevent any accidents, Ghost Face did not allow Chen Yi to return to the populated cave.

But Chen Yi didn't mind, he had already made arrangements with Liu Huo before leaving,

By now, Liu Huo must have made quite a few preparations already, hadn't he?

There were still more than a dozen young cultivators left in the cave, all Chen Yi could do was to notify them about the situation. As for who would survive, that was beyond his control.

Inside the cave, Mr. Zhao stared wide-eyed at Liu Huo:

"Are you sure Chen Yi can pull it off?"

"Uh huh, there's like a 98 percent chance. That's the probability Brother Chen told me. He predicted that you, Mr. Zhao, should have the ability to deliver a final strike, by then, the fate of all of us will depend on you." Liu Huo replied.

Mr. Zhao's countenance went through many changes before he finally clenched his teeth, "If we don't challenge death, we will just continue to drift! Damn it, let's do this!"

Two days later,

At the makeshift alchemy shop on the island, Ghost Face asked Chen Yi again, "Are you confident about it?"

"Rest assured, elder. If I fail this time, you can simply chop me down!"

"Hahaha, fine! Then you wait for a minute, I will watch you concoct the medicine."

Ghost Face then went to the cave, captured Mr. Zhao, Liu Huo, and six others.

He took them to a large blood pool area, without saying a word, he opened the arteries of seven people, excluding Mr. Zhao, and started draining their blood.

Only Mr. Zhao was tied to the side, unharmed.

He is the main ingredient, and he needs to be put in last.

After casting a sidelong glance at them, Chen Yi's heart tightened. They didn't seem to have much time left.

Even if Liu Huo's vitality was vigorous, he wouldn't last long once his blood began to drain.

This time, Chen Yi fully dedicated himself to concocting the Turtle Snake Blood Fortifying Medicine,

He used first-tier spiritual grass, flowers, and fruits, the turtle snake's blood from 150-year-old first-tier medium-grade demon beast's tail as the main ingredients,

Also, he applied the special method learned from Elder Feng on how to enhance the potency of the vitality and blood medicine using turtle snake's blood.

When this bowl of turtle snake blood fortifying medicine was concocted, even Chen Yi could feel the abundant medicinal power inside.

"Elder Ghost Face, the blood fortifying medicine is ready."

Chen Yi handed over a bowl containing semi-filled purple-black medicine to Ghost Face and respectfully said.

As he spoke, he took a glimpse at Liu Huo who was at a distance. Next to the blood pool, Liu Huo, whose face was pale from blood loss, managed to raise his hand and touch his nose.

"Oh? Is it ready?!" Ghost Face was thrilled and took the bowl of medicine. Instead of drinking it immediately,

he used a small spoon and asked Chen Yi to taste it first.

Without hesitation, Chen Yi took a spoonful.

As soon as the medicine went down, he felt as if his stomach was on fire. An overwhelming vitality and blood power surged throughout Chen Yi's body,

giving him a sense of breakthrough in his cultivation of the third level of physical refinement,

Chen Yi quickly stopped the circulation of the Vajra Sutra in his body,

struggling with the immense power of vitality and blood, he did not absorb it.

As a result, his face turned red, and his blood vessels bulged, body temperature began to rise gradually,

"Ahh! I can feel the power surging within me!"

Chen Yi roared, found a rock next to him that weighed over a thousand pounds, and "exerted all his strength" to try to lift it, he nearly succeeded!

Seeing this, Ghost Face was greatly relieved. He was watching Chen Yi closely before and after he drank the medicine, and found that it indeed was non-toxic and significantly increased his vitality and blood!

Although it seemed to have some side effects, it was because the kid was just a mortal. After drinking such a concentrated vitality and blood power potion, it would naturally cause his blood vessels to burst.

But being at the late stage of Qi Cultivation, he certainly can easily control it.

Looking at the pill concocting situation by the blood pool from afar,

Ghost Face drank the bowl of vitality and blood potion in one gulp, in high spirits.

Suddenly, his expression solidified.

"This medicine, something's not right!"
