I Have Medicine Chapter Ch209 - The Moon Yin Pill

Chapter Ch209 - The Moon Yin Pill

At first, Ling Ziqi was somewhat relaxed. But the moment he heard Gu Zuo’s words, he immediately felt worried: “What backlash?”

Gu Zuo said: “The attractive force will be over a hundred times stronger than when there was a full moon previously. Each and every person who’s relatively close to her, even if it’s someone with a staunched determination, will have a hard time resisting. Moreover…”

He sighed: “Moreover, Young Master Ling, who has a close blood-connection to Young Lady Ling, as well as the other male family members all could originally resist this attractive force. But after a one hundred-fold eruption, I’m afraid even those with close blood ties won’t be able to withstand it.”

In other words, when Ling Ziwei had previous outbreaks, Ling Ziqi had an immunity and guarded her against other people. But now, once Ling Ziwei had another outbreak after taking the medicinal pills, Ling Ziqi wouldn’t be able to approach Ling Ziwei. Ling Ziwei herself would also become a mobile source of attraction — A source of attraction that was a hundred times stronger than before!

Ling Ziwei’s complexion became deathly pale all of a sudden.

If it was like this, then one day, she…

Sure enough, the method of treating the symptoms still had very big risks. But, but if there weren’t any temporary treatments, what else could they do?

After this, it was still Ling Ziqi who finally spoke: “Pharmacist Gu, I’ll have to trouble you.”

— Temporary treatments were always better than nothing at all. At the very least, this could ensure that his younger sister would grow up normally for quite a long period of time. As for a cultivation method that suited the Moon Siren Body, it wouldn’t be too late to think of a solution in the future.

Gu Zuo nodded his head: “No matter. This Gu is also rather interested in Young Lady Ling’s special const.i.tution.”

Ling Ziwei reluctantly set her mind to it. She tidied up the front of her robe, and showed her respects to Gu Zuo: “Many thanks, Pharmacist Gu.”

Tianyang also watched Ling Ziwei with some concern, but when Ling Ziwei looked over, his concern had turned into a soothing look. Ling Ziwei’s expression became a bit better, and she lightly sighed.

At this time, Gu Zuo rapidly sorted out the solution related to the Moon Siren Body that he had previously discovered in his mind — Back then, the prescription that resolved Gongyi Tianheng’s Tiandu Body was found within those three initial books of Human-Level prescriptions. Currently, that the Moon Siren Body was identified in <>, so the method to resolve it could also be found in those three Human-Level prescription books.

Merely, the Moon Siren Body wasn’t the same as the Tiandu Body. The Moon Siren Body was just a special const.i.tution, and definitely wasn’t an “illness” that a person would die from if it was left untreated like the Tiandu Body. Thus, the so-called solution was just a prescription called the Moon Yin Pill.

That Moon Yin Pill was the method that Gu Zuo mentioned which would treat the symptoms.

What was even more coincidental was that the medicinal ingredients needed for the Moon Yin Pill could all be found among the ingredients that Gu Zuo had previously h.o.a.rded.

Undoubtedly, this was Ling Ziwei’s good fortune.

After settling the Ling Clan siblings, Gu Zuo put down a load of worries at last. It was just refining one more pill every month. It basically wasn’t worth mentioning. What’s more, if there was enough materials, one cauldron could produce nine Moon Yin Pills. He only needed to refine four cauldrons for Ling Ziwei to persevere for three years &#k2014; Of course, for the sake of his foster-brother Tianyang, Gu Zuo wouldn’t let Ling Ziwei take second-rate medicinal pills. He would do his best to refine top grade pills to perfectly suppress Ling Ziwei’s const.i.tution to utmost limits. This would allow her to persevere for even longer. At the very least, top grade Moon Yin Pills would guarantee that Ling Ziwei wouldn’t have any dangers erupting within the next ten years!

However, Gu Zuo had a matter that he didn’t mention.

If Ling Ziwei wasn’t able to find a suitable cultivation method for the Moon Siren Body, then he would use another permanent means to solve this problem — To cripple her Moon Siren Body.

But that was too pitiful. Unless it reached the point where this was the only option, Gu Zuo wouldn’t do it.

At this time, Gu Zuo’s consciousness flashed with the ping of a “Mission Completed”. This showed that the ailment he found for Ling Ziwei was the correct one.

Hence, Gu Zuo had even more confidence.

After that, Tianheng sent them on their way. The Ling Clan siblings and Tianyang both left the room. Once the door was closed, Gu Zuo took out a pill refining cauldron and started the refinement of the Moon Yin Pills.

Matters needed to be done sooner rather than later, seeing as Ling Ziwei would reach adulthood in three years. Before that, on her sixteenth birthday, she would have another break out during the full moon. In order to avert any troubles for them, the sooner she took the Moon Yin Pills, the better. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have any way to steadily cultivate feelings with Tianyang.

Tianheng saw that Gu Zuo was giving it his full attention, and didn’t say much. He sat cross-legged on the bed, and started his own cultivation. Previously, he had obtained another large batch of top grade Qi Linking Pills from Gu Zuo. His bone pearls were insatiable, and with the help of the medicinal pills, he swiftly acc.u.mulated true qi, continuously condensed his bone pearls, and improved his realm.

Even if one more bone pearl wasn’t condensed, his strength would still have a very minor breakthrough. The opening of the Great Tomb of the Human King was imminent. It wasn’t known if there were any dangers, so it was for the best that he made more preparations.

The Moon Yin Pill was a special pill. Although it was in the Human-Level medicinal pills, it was suitable for all martial artists below the Immortal Realm. Only, if it was the Houtian Realm, one would just need to take a single pill every month. A Xiantian Realm would take two pills every month. And an Immortal Realm would take three pills every month. The stronger one was, the sooner the breakout would occur. Gu Zuo’s speculated ten years was based on Ling Ziwei not breaking through to the Immortal Realm. But once she broke through, even if she took four or five Moon Yin Pills every month, she would ultimately be able to only endure for three to five months. Then, it would swiftly erupt, and it would be difficult to pull back.

Thus, the required medicinal ingredients for the Moon Yin Pill weren’t easy to find, and refining it was rather challenging.

That time around, Gu Zuo had pill battles with others on a large venue, and won first place. Compared to before, he was even more confident. As soon as his consciousness moved, those medicinal ingredients naturally appeared next to him. After that, he brandished the pill cauldron. His palm turned over, and a wisp of Earthen Core Flame, which was contained in his bone pearls, arose. With the support of that Fire Controlling Seal, it appeared underneath the pill cauldron.

Because he didn’t have that many of the Moon Yin Pill’s medicinal ingredients in his stockpile, he needed to reduce his wastage as much as possible. As a result, he opted to use the Earthen Core Flame and the handiest pill cauldron. He steadied his heart and calmed his breathing in order to put forward his best condition.

After taking a deep breath, the Earthen Core Flame had already warmed up the entire pill cauldron.

Gu Zuo’s psychic power shrouded the area above the cauldron, and every thread of flame and every inch of medicinal ingredient was in his grasp! It looked like he was sculpting a delicate piece of artwork as he devoted his sincerest thoughts. His wrist shook, and some treated medicinal ingredients were thrown into the pill cauldron!

Sizzling sounds roiled inside of that cauldron.

The first ingredient dissolved. So, too, did the second ingredient, and then the third… Twelve ingredients had all become b.a.l.l.s of juice in quick succession. The dense qi emissions that they emitted ill.u.s.trated their concentrated medicinal properties.

Gu Zuo’s vision focused, and the twelve b.a.l.l.s of liquid swiftly converged together. When it s.h.i.+ned with beams of silvery-white radiance, the thirteenth medicinal ingredient was thrown in!

After those several drops of clear medicinal juice joined the large ball of liquid, it all rapidly mixed until the medicinal properties united. Then, that large ball of liquid was quickly divided into nine small, silver-colored b.a.l.l.s of liquid!

Each small ball emitted rays of faint and serene light.

Following which, when these small b.a.l.l.s were constantly solidifying, a whistle-like noise disseminated from them. It was a whoos.h.i.+ng sound like there were numerous winds blowing inside.

Those silver-colored b.a.l.l.s of liquid became fuller and plumper. However, the silver exterior underwent a change. Soon, the silver gathered to one side and took the shape of a crescent moon. Meanwhile, the other side turned a deep blue.

This was just like a waning moon hanging high over a deep-blue curtain of night.

Gu Zuo “watched” as a trail of medicinal qi soared up from the pill cauldron and quickly entered his storage s.p.a.ce. His heart was happy — Only when the medicinal properties reached their maximum potential, that is, when he spontaneously formed top grade pills without deliberately controlling it, would medicinal qi be produced!

Unexpectedly, he succeeded on the first try!

Truly… His diligence wasn’t in vain.

With a smile on Gu Zuo’s face, he rapidly made a Pill Receiving Seal.

Nine streaks of silver light shot straight out like lightning. After his prudent actions, they were collected into a snow-white, ice jade box.

In the blink of an eye, the nine Moon Yin Pills came to a halt inside the ice jade box like they were glued to the bottom of the box. There wasn’t a single movement. It was totally different from those past medicinal pills that whirled, collided, and spun around.

The pills were peaceful, and slowly emitted an indistinct chill in the air.

The first round was a success. Gu Zuo could clearly sense that his level of medicine refinement had improved once again.

Yes. Although he felt that he was very confident in the past, when he didn’t publicly get the credit, there was still a trace of uncertainty in the depths of his heart. And sometimes, when he refined some high-difficulty medicinal pills, this trace of uncertainty made it impossible for him to do so perfectly.

But it was different now.

Granted that Gu Zuo’s level of medicine refinement hadn’t reached the pinnacle, he was utterly self-a.s.sured. In the domain of medicine refinement, he believed in his own capabilities from the bottom of his heart — That trace of uncertainty no longer existed.

As a result, when refining a new medicinal pill, Gu Zuo found that long-lost, flawless ease like when he first refined the Qi Generating Pill. Only then could he refine nine top grade Moon Yin Pills at once.

One cauldron was achieved. After Gu Zuo put them away, he struck while the the iron was hot, and started the second cauldron’s refinement.

This time, he was still as careful and serious as before. But because the refining had become even more familiar, the time spent had been reduced by a third.

Once more, the pills were put away, and once more, Gu Zuo decided to push onwards.

He improved again. The time of refining the Moon Yin Pills further reduced, becoming half of the previous time.

Gu Zuo proceeded with the fourth cauldron. As before, he succeeded, and as before, the time was cut down… The fifth cauldron, the sixth cauldron… The further he went, the less time Gu Zuo used. Finally, it was fixed at half an hour for one cauldron.

After the last cauldron buzzed with formed pills, Gu Zuo discovered that the room’s oil lamp had burnt out some time ago. To his surprise, it was already dawn.

Unwittingly, he had been refining for the entire night. He had also succeeded in refining fourteen cauldrons, which was a hundred twenty-six Moon Yin Pills. He packed a hundred twenty pills into the ice jade box. While the remaining six pills were preserved in an ice jade bottle.

If Ling Ziwei never broke through to Xiantian, a hundred twenty Moon Yin Pills could be used for over ten years. If she broke through to Xiantian, then a hundred twenty Moon Yin Pills was still enough to last her for a long time.

After rubbing his face, Gu Zuo stood up and stretched.

Outside the door, Tianyang’s voice pa.s.sed through: “Big brother, Brother Ah Zuo. Do you want to have breakfast together?”
