Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 530 Test Results, Amazing Drug Effects
The Heaven-Burning Elixir.

Qilin Blood Pill.

Auspicious Elixir of Creation.

The three different types of pills enhance cultivation strength, physical strength and blood circulation, and talent and comprehension, respectively.

According to Yang Ning's report, this is the final result submitted by the secret guards.

Of the three types of elixirs, the most successful was the Auspicious Creation Elixir, followed by the Qilin Blood Elixir, and then the Heaven-Burning Sacred Elixir.

"With such efficacy, the Auspicious Creation Pill should be widely promoted." After a moment's thought, Zhu Jinzhen quickly set the tone for the future development of Tian Ce and Cang Yun: "The talents of the Tian Ce and Cang Yun armies are not very high. The Auspicious Creation Pill is most suitable for popularizing throughout the entire army to improve their talent and comprehension."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Yang Ning nodded with a smile.

"The fact that the Qilin Blood Pill can enhance the effects of the Earth Dragon Pill is quite a pleasant surprise."

"Both Tiger Wolf Pill and Earth Dragon Pill can greatly increase strength and enhance physical strength. After taking the Qilin Blood Pill, one can break through ten thousand pounds with force, and the body will be ten times harder than ice and black iron."

"An army with external martial arts skills comparable to the Grandmasters of Celestial Phenomena is just around the corner."

Zhu Jinzhen's face beamed with a happy smile. Although with the resources he had now, it wasn't impossible for him to train both Cangyun and Tiance to the level of Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena.

But that would take a considerable amount of time and resources.

If there's an easier way, he'll naturally choose the simpler, more efficient, and faster one.

"The Qilin Blood Pill can also be put on the agenda."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will keep that in mind."

"Prioritize the Tian Ce and Cang Yun troops stationed in the capital, followed by the Cang Yun and Tian Ce soldiers guarding various parts of the Ming Dynasty. The surrounding countries are eyeing us covetously and are increasingly eager to make moves. We should improve their strength as soon as possible to avoid too many losses on the battlefield."

Zhu Jinzhen's priority was still the strength of Cangyun and Tian Ce. Although there was Teyvat Egg, even if Tian Ce and Cangyun suffered casualties or died in battle, they could be resurrected.

Even though it could be avoided, Zhu Jinzhen still chose to avoid it.

"As for the Heaven-Burning Sacred Pill..."

Zhu Jinzhen frowned slightly, but finally shook his head slowly: "For the time being, it will not be equipped for the entire Cangyun and Tiance armies. It will only be popularized within the Secret Guard, and those in Cangyun and Tiance who have reached the Land Immortal Realm can apply."

"By the way, can the body strengthened by the Qilin Blood Pill withstand the medicinal power of the Burning Heaven Sacred Pill?"

"This?" Yang Ning was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in shame: "This humble subject was negligent and did not test it."

Zhu Jinzhen did not blame him, but simply nodded and instructed, "Try it later. If they can withstand it, then the entire Cangyun and Tiance army will soon become terrestrial immortals, and I can further enhance the strength of the entire Ming army and people."

A complete evolutionary chain—no, I mean a strengthening chain—was vaguely taking shape in Zhu Jinzhen's mind.

The Jade Void Pill cleanses the meridians and marrow, strengthens qi and blood, and unblocks the meridians throughout the body. The Tiger and Wolf Pill enhances tiger and wolf power, and the Earth Dragon Pill raises the body's strength and power to the level of the External Vajra Realm, or even comparable to the Finger Profound Master.

Taking the Qilin Blood Pill further enhances physical strength, power, and blood circulation, allowing one to reach the level of a Grandmaster of External Kung Fu.

If the Heaven-Burning Sacred Pill can be used to continue the process.

All that's needed is one Jade Void Pill, one Tiger Wolf Pill, one Earth Dragon Pill, one Qilin Blood Pill, and one Burning Heaven Saint Pill.

In at most six months, a martial artist who knows no martial arts or has just started can leap to the level of a terrestrial immortal!
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will keep that in mind."

"What about the Demon Blood Dragon Pill? What were the results of the experiment?" "Your Majesty, the preliminary results are in." Yang Ning composed himself and slowly explained, "The Demon Blood Dragon Pill is too potent. It only stimulates potential and strengthens the body's blood and qi. When one's power increases dramatically, the body experiences excruciating pain, as if being cut into a thousand pieces. It is not something an ordinary person can endure."

"Fortunately, some people with strong willpower, or those at the terrestrial immortal realm or above, are able to suppress it."

"Based on current testing, out of ten death row inmates at the Grandmaster level of Celestial Phenomena, three could not withstand the fierce and explosive power of the drug and died directly from their bodies exploding, while four could not endure the excruciating pain and died from the backlash."

"Only three people managed to survive."

"One of them underwent a drastic mental change and nearly went insane."

When talking about the test of the Demon Blood Dragon Pill, Yang Ning's tone was tinged with regret.

Those death row inmates used as test subjects were not ordinary consumables.

They are all specifically trained using martial arts cultivation furnaces or other resources, and each of them would be absolutely no weaker than a master of the same realm if placed in the outside world.

As a result, in just one test, seven out of ten Grandmasters of Celestial Phenomena died.

A near-madman.

"Were two successful?"

Zhu Jinzhen nodded calmly. It wasn't unusual for death row inmates to die during drug trials. With Teyvat Fried Egg around, which of the death row inmates chosen for drug trials hadn't died seventy or eighty times, experiencing all sorts of bizarre ways to die?

On the contrary, Zhu Jinzhen was quite surprised by the "touching" success rate of the Demon Blood Dragon Pill.

"How have those two who withstood the backlash from the Demon Blood Dragon Pill improved compared to before they took it?"

"Your Majesty, it is very significant." Yang Ning bowed, his voice deepening. "Before consuming the Demon Blood Dragon Pill, their strength was only that of a Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena. Ordinary Celestial Phenomena within the Secret Guard could easily defeat them."

"After withstanding the backlash of the Demon Blood Dragon Pill, their power increased by hundreds of years, and their physical strength also improved to a level almost comparable to that of a dragon in the terrestrial immortal realm."

"Gu Santong fought back with his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, using all his skills, but he was almost beaten to death by one of them within thirty moves."

"Even if a terrestrial deity were to take them down, they wouldn't be able to."

"What's even more astonishing is that the Demon Blood Dragon Pill fully unlocks their potential. After a battle, their progress and growth are rapid, and they are visibly getting stronger."

"Although he is still at the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Grandmaster, his actual combat strength is no weaker than some veteran terrestrial immortals."

"Moreover, it seems to possess some characteristics of immortality."

“Wounds that penetrate the body heal rapidly and are visible to the naked eye. Even severed arms can be restored to their original state in a short time once they are reattached, thanks to their powerful regenerative ability.”

Zhu Jinzhen's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he listened. Ever since Gu Santong was recruited into the Secret Guard by him, he had been working hard to complete the Secret Guard's missions. Although he was still a Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena, his true strength was more than ten times greater than when he had just come out of the Heavenly Prison.

After activating the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, Gu Santong was even able to fight against terrestrial immortals without being at a disadvantage.

Now, he can't even beat a death row inmate who took the Demon Blood Dragon Pill?
According to Yang Ning's report, the effects of the Demon Blood Dragon Pill are better than expected. Although the side effects are significant and the success rate is low, once you can get through it, the rewards will be terrifying.

"What about the two realms of terrestrial immortals and terrestrial celestial beings? How effective are they at taking the Demon Blood Dragon Pill?"

"Your Majesty, when a terrestrial immortal takes the Demon Blood Dragon Pill, they can suppress its medicinal properties. After ten terrestrial immortals take it, they can basically unleash its full potential, stimulating their power and increasing their strength by two to three hundred years. They also gain characteristics such as immunity to all poisons."

"Two of them were quite lucky, and even showed some characteristics of dragon transformation, with their strength increasing more than tenfold."

"The effect is the worst for the terrestrial celestial beings. After ten celestial beings in the secret guards take it, their power will only increase by sixty years. Although their potential will be stimulated, it will not have much of an effect. The only benefit is that they will be immune to all poisons and their body's blood and qi will become stronger."
