Chapter 315: Pill Recipe
"Thank you, great uncle." Qin Ziling was slightly stunned, then quickly took the recipe and bowed to his great uncle sincerely to express his gratitude.
"Go ahead, practice hard, and strive to become a master as soon as possible." Great-uncle waved his hand.
"Yes." Qin Ziling bowed again, then turned and left.
"I almost forgot, I still have a few 'Liuhe Huagu Dan' here. They are useless anyway, so I'll give them to you." Qin Ziling had just walked to the stairs when a brocade box flew over.
Qin Ziling quickly took it and said nothing this time. He just bowed calmly and turned to go downstairs.
Seeing this, the great uncle didn't say anything, but just closed his eyes again. But after a while, the great uncle seemed to remember something and called a servant over.
"Go to Weiwuyuan and ask Zitang to come to my place." said my great uncle.
"Yes, sir." The servant bowed and retreated.
Soon, Qin Zitang, the head of Weiwu Academy, arrived at the fifth floor of the Sutra Library.
"Great uncle , is there anything you want me to help you with?" Qin Zitang's face was less cold and more respectful and gentle as he faced the elegant old man. While speaking, he walked behind him and gently massaged his shoulders.
The elegant old man is the younger brother of Qin Zitang's great-grandfather.
"Qin Ziling should be a promising candidate . You can take care of him more often when you have time, but keep your reputation under control." said the elegant old man.
"Okay." Qin Zitang replied.
"Don't you ask why?" said the elegant old man.
"Since my great-uncle has taken a liking to him, he must have some outstanding qualities." Qin Zitang said calmly.
"You, after all these years, haven't changed at all. You should just let it go. Be it the prince himself or the power he represents, you can't resist them." said the elegant old man.
"I let it go a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed in the Qin family." Qin Zitang said.
…
After returning to "Weiwuyuan", Qin Ziling opened the brocade box first and found that there were eight "Liuhe Bone-Dissolving Pills" in the box.
Qin Ziling looked at the "Liuhe Bone-Dissolving Pill" in the brocade box, feeling quite subtle and complicated.
Two months ago, the reason why Qin Ziling decided to return to the Qin family in Wuzhou to trace his roots was actually largely because of the martial arts. As for a sense of belonging, objectively speaking, there was almost none.
After all, there are so many generations between them, and his core soul and thoughts come from another world.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Qin Ziling had already decided to obtain the martial arts technique using legitimate and legal means, and then try his best to do something for the Qin family as a reward, and never get involved in the power struggles of the entire Wuzhou Qin family.
But now, Qin Ziling found that he had thought things too simply.
Once human relations arise, they cannot be severed just because you want to.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time! Strength is still the key." Qin Ziling quickly calmed down, then directly took eight "Liuhe Bone-Transforming Pills" and began to refine the skull.
Although his overall strength is not inferior to that of a grandmaster, many of his methods are still not visible to the public. Moreover, considering his age and realm, it would definitely not be a wise move if he showed too much of his level surpassing abilities.
At the end of midnight, Qin Ziling stopped practicing with a complicated expression.
Eight pills of "Liuhe Huagu Dan" were swallowed in one go. The effect was indeed good, but Qin Ziling found that drug resistance had appeared. The effect was not as obvious as before. After eight pills were taken, Qin Ziling felt that the effect was only equivalent to about five pills before.
"Isn't the recipe for the 'Liuhe Huagu Pill' exchanged in vain?" Qin Ziling smiled bitterly and took out the recipe that his great-uncle had copied for him.
After seeing this, Qin Ziling's expression quickly became complicated.
"Liuhe Huagu Dan" is a pill made from the bone marrow of five fourth-grade exotic beasts with different properties, five spiritual medicines with different properties as auxiliary medicines, and the essence and blood of the Earth Demon Guards as the main medicine.
However, the ancestor Liezu who created this recipe came up with a bold idea at the end of the recipe. He believed that if the bones of five kinds of exotic beasts with five different properties and five kinds of spiritual medicines with older years were used as auxiliary medicines, and the essence and blood of the Earth Demon General was used as the main medicine, it should be possible to refine a super-quality "Liuhe Bone-Dissolving Pill".
However, this great ancestor had never verified his idea himself, and no one from the Qin family had verified it either.
Firstly, hunting five kinds of fifth-grade exotic beasts, finding five kinds of high-quality elixirs, and hunting the Earth Demon General are much more difficult than the former; secondly, even if all the materials are found and a bone-refining elixir with a quality far exceeding that of the "Liuhe Bone-Transforming Pill" is refined, it is estimated that no great bone-refining martial artist can withstand the power of such an elixir.
You have to know that for the "Liuhe Bone-Refining Pill" that Qin Ziling is taking now, a great martial artist who has reached the late stage of bone refining usually needs seven or eight days to refine and absorb one pill before he can start taking the second one.
When you move to the middle stage of bone refining, you should wait at least one month before taking one pill, and no more than ten pills a year.
Therefore, even if the idea of that ancestor Liezu could succeed, no one would be able to consume the elixir that was refined.
"If this senior's idea can really produce the super-quality 'Liuhe Bone-Refining Pill', it would be really suitable for me to take, and it would definitely greatly speed up my skull refining process. Moreover, if this senior's idea can succeed, once the pill power is not enough, I can continue to improve the level of the materials. The problem now is in the collection of medicinal materials." Qin Ziling touched his chin, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
…
The next morning.
Qin Ziling had just finished refining his Qi, put away the magic crystal stone, and walked out of the house, when he saw Qin Xingbao walking towards him quickly with an excited look on his face.
"You look like you have something happy to hear." Qin Ziling asked with a smile as he let Qin Xingbao into the courtyard.
"I just got the news that a fourth-grade intermediate exotic beast, the two-horned snow marten, has appeared on the outskirts of the Shiyang section of the Qilun Mountains. Uncle, let's go there together. With just the two of us, as long as we can find the two-horned snow marten and cooperate well, we should be able to hunt it down." Qin Xingbao said.
The Qilun Mountains are one of the three large mountain ranges in the Great Qi State where exotic beasts live and breed.
The highest level limit in Wuyang Mountains is Intermediate Grandmaster, while the highest level limit in Qilun Mountains is Grandmaster.
But at the same time, the Qilun Mountains are much more dangerous than the Wuyang Mountains, especially in the depths of the mountains, where not only powerful exotic beasts roam, but also many unknown forbidden areas and dangerous places. If one accidentally breaks in, even a grandmaster might end up dead.
Therefore, in the Wuyang Mountains, most Great Martial Artists or those below the Great Qi Refining Realm dare not go deep into the mountains and can only hunt on the periphery. As for the Qilun Mountains, without the strength of a Grandmaster, basically no one dares to go deep into the mountains except for those who are particularly brave, and generally only hunt on the periphery.
The most common beasts appearing in the periphery are those below the fourth rank, and occasionally some fourth rank beasts also appear.
The Qin family of Wuzhou is extremely powerful, with people distributed all over the place, especially in Wuzhou. There are people from the Qin family in many places, and they report intelligence to the Qin family of Wuzhou every day.
If the descendants of the Qin family in Wuzhou want to gain merit points, they can go to the family merit hall to view the posted tasks or information.
However, these tasks or information are generally only aimed at children below the level of clan elders.
After Qin Xingbao came back from the ancestral worship ceremony, he often went to the Merit Hall to inquire. Today, he happened to get this information that he thought was most suitable for both of them, so he came to find Qin Ziling excitedly.
"A fourth-grade intermediate-level exotic beast, the two-horned snow ferret?" Qin Ziling looked at Qin Xingbao with a subtle expression.
"Yes, the two-horned snow ferret! It is a relatively precious species among the fourth-grade intermediate exotic beasts, but its strength is not that strong. It is mainly fast, cunning, and difficult to catch." Qin Xingbao said with shining eyes.
