Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

Chapter 398: Chapter 33 I Can Too
 

As the world’s top alchemist, what he anticipated most was not sufficient medicinal materials, high-tier cauldrons, or complex alchemy techniques… but an excellent Drug Tester!

No matter how well-designed and exquisitely prepared the medicinal materials are, once the product is finished and wants to be distributed, it must first be tested by someone, identifying its strengths and flaws before it can be released.

Over the years, to conduct these tests, Bian Zhongwen had found countless people. As a result, after taking the medicines, some died and some were injured, hardly obtaining any useful feedback.

Especially for high-level medicines, even if they are highly beneficial, they are not something that low-strength cultivators can withstand.

As for those with high cultivation, possessing bodies worth thousands in gold, who would risk their lives for experiments?

Without testers, the quality of the medicines couldn’t be verified, leaving no choice but to shelve them.

Some medicines were tested using Primordial Beasts, but the different cultivation systems and vastly different constitutions meant that even these tests held little referential value.

Therefore, what he looked forward to the most was finding a cultivator with strong resistance to medicines, yet not too powerful, and now, not only one had emerged, but two—it’s no wonder he was thrilled and excited.

Of course, whether someone would die or not, he didn’t care.

Being able to create potent pills, even if he died, it was immaterial, let alone others.

Unaware of his mad thoughts, Zhang Xuan came up to the pill bottle and gently pulled it open.

Whether intentionally left as such, or due to limited production, there were only two round pills in the bottle, which upon appearing, released surging medicinal strength, fierce and chilling.

Casually picking up one, in the blink of an eye, a book appeared within the Library of Heaven’s Path.

“Spirit Void Breaking Miasma Pill, an attributeless elixir. When taken by a Galaxy 8-dan cultivator attempting to break through to the 9-dan, it can increase the success rate by 30%, but it will deplete three days of spiritual energy. It is forged from thirteen types of medicinal ingredients including Purple Water Chestnut, Wind Wolf Source Crystal, and hundred-year Wasp King Jelly. Disadvantage one: the medicine is too potent; if soul energy is insufficient, after taking the pill, one might go berserk. Disadvantage two…”

“This pill… its effects are formidable!”

After reading its content, Zhang Xuan’s face showed surprise.

Able to let a Galaxy 8-dan punch through to the 9-dan and increase the success rate by 30%, the value of this pill could be feared to exceed several thousand Destiny Plates!

Its effects are much stronger than that of Earth Nether Yellow.

Making a motion to swallow it, he actually stored it back into the Suspended Realm instead.

The robust medicinal strength, in the blink of an eye, dispersed throughout the sky, transforming into countless Origin qi, rushing back into his meridians and limbs.

Past blockages in the meridians were instantly shattered, like rocks in a river smashed to pieces, allowing the zhenqi to circulate much more smoothly.

Boom!

With a mental command, Zhang Xuan immediately saw his aura rapidly increase, seemingly ready to break through from Galaxy 6-dan at any time to the Seventh Dan.

His cultivation had reached the Galaxy 6-dan not long ago, but during this time, he had been constantly consuming various strengthening substances, and just now, he even consumed five kilograms of Earth Nether Yellow. Purely talking about accumulation, not to mention reaching Galaxy 7-dan, charging directly to the 9-dan was absolutely sufficient.

The reason he hadn’t broken through was that the Youqing Destiny had not yet reached the fourth level.

Breaking through the destiny would better regulate the power above Galaxy 7-dan, thus whether hiding one’s aura or concealing real strength, it would be handled with ease, not ruining the disguise.

And before the destiny increased, forcing a breakthrough would indeed increase the cultivation, but it would be like a child wielding a heavy hammer—potentially causing harm to others or even self-injury.

For this reason, it was not that he couldn’t break through, but he deliberately suppressed it, thinking that this time would be the same. With his strong soul energy and determined will, suppression would be incredibly easy, but unexpectedly, the wild strength within him did not show any sign of halting; instead, it grew more and more intense.

“It’s the Wind Wolf’s Source Crystal! This Wind Wolf’s cultivation is too strong…”

Zhang Xuan’s expression was grave.

Wind Wolves, also known as mad wolves, would go berserk during every full moon night, causing destruction and even challenging stronger Primordial Beasts than themselves.

Because of their wildness, even stronger Primordial Beasts, cautious of trouble, would not dare to provoke them lightly.

This fearless attribute, useful in breaking through cultivation shackles and barriers, indeed had no equal, but… it easily leads to assimilation in thinking, thus making the power uncontrollable.

Realm Breakthrough Pill, using such ingredients, one has to say that Elder Jiang Li is truly daring.

“Suppress!”

With a soft exclamation in his heart, Zhang Xuan suppressed again, and at this moment, the Strength inside his body was like boiling water, growing fiercer, the stronger the suppressing force, the more vicious the backlash would become.

Even he, seemed to be unable to bear it anymore.

Gurgle gurgle! Gurgle gurgle!

As he forcefully suppressed, in the room, Elder Jiang Li and the newly returned Yao Yun and others, all furrowed their brows.

This pill, although strong, was the weakest among the ten pills; was it already unbearable?

Originally thinking, if there really was some special talent that could endlessly test drugs, once these ten succeeded, they would try to forge those kinds of medicines, now it seems… wishful thinking!

A hint of disappointment appeared in Elder Jiang Li’s eyes.

Even Yao Yun couldn’t help shaking his head, looking towards Bian Zhongwen with some confusion.

Could it be that this guy secretly sold the Earth Nether Yellow and found two people to settle accounts randomly!

That will need to be well-investigated later.

Just as everyone felt that he might not be able to withstand it, either dying or going berserk, they saw him unable to hold back and look up, his eyes filled with longing.

“This… Elder Jiang, could you give me a few Earth Nether Yellow that you just forged?”

“What do you need these for…”

Stunned for a moment, Elder Jiang Li did not stop him and casually threw over two bottles.

These Earth Nether Yellows, mixed with Ice Crystal Grass and Ice Ling Grass, were not only more beautiful in appearance but also stronger in medicinal power, unlike anything they had consumed before.

Before his words could finish, they saw the young man in front uncork the bottles and pour all the pills into his mouth, leaving none behind.

“???”

Elder Jiang Li was stunned.

What does this mean?

Was he taking the wrong medicine, using the highly poisonous Earth Nether Yellow to adjust?

Like eating too much salt and drinking more water?

Feeling puzzled, they saw the young man’s rolling strength suddenly stop, and at the same time, a stream of white line burst out from his throat, shooting out like sword qi.

Seeing this scene, Yao Yun and others were completely dumbfounded.

They had seen people eat the wrong medicine, unable to control the medicinal power and go berserk, ending up dead on the spot, but this was the first time they saw someone using poison to quench the fire…

Was there any difference between this and eating spicy food and hot pot while having a sore throat?

Just as they were filled with confusion, the elder who came with the young man showed a slightly resentful expression, then gritted his teeth and looked over as well.

“That Elder Jiang Li… could you also give me two bottles of Earth Nether Yellow…”

Elder Jiang Li frowned: “You also want to go berserk?”

Empyrean Kong Shi pondered for a moment: “If going berserk is the condition to receive it, then I can try my best!”

“…” Elder Jiang Li.

“…” Yao Yun and others.
