Great Zhou: Emperor Wu, I need to check your taxes.

The previous batch failed, consuming more than half of the main ingredients.

The remaining elderberry and snow toad venom were simply not enough to make a standard portion of the herbal paste.

"Are we just going to let it go like this?"

Lin Yun was unwilling to accept this.

It would be such a waste to let all that hard-won influence and medicine go to waste.

Moreover, he urgently needs to improve his strength and means of survival.

"Out of medicine...out of the main ingredient..."

Lin Yun's gaze suddenly fell on the small cloth bag that he always kept close to his body.

There, he had secretly collected some auxiliary medicines during this time, intending to try to refine the "elixir of immortality" in the future.

Although the core ingredients, such as the rare and precious Zijin meat, are still nowhere to be found, a considerable amount of unconventional and potent medicines, such as placenta powder and Lieyang grass, have been accumulated.

A bold, even insane, idea suddenly popped into Lin Yun's mind.

"The pharmacology of the Longevity Elixir is extreme life, a regeneration that breaks through the limits of life."

"The principle behind Black Jade Bone-Regenerating Ointment is also to stimulate the regeneration of cells and bones."

"These two... actually have something in common."

Lin Yun's eyes grew brighter and brighter; the auditor's professional habit of recklessly testing the limits of the rules had kicked in.

"I tried to improve the Qi-boosting pills and Minor Rejuvenation pills by incorporating the pharmacological logic of the Longevity Pill, and the results were quite good."

"What if it's a topical plaster?"

"Since we don't have enough ingredients for this 'Rejuvenation Ointment,' why don't I use the auxiliary ingredients from these 'Longevity Pills' to supplement it?"

"Use the domineering life force of the Longevity Pill to neutralize the cold poison of the Snow Toad Venom and to stimulate the vitality of the Elderberry..."

Once the idea came to mind, it became impossible to suppress.

Lin Yun knew this was dangerous.

Alchemy is not like cooking; you can't just haphazardly stew it and it'll explode.

It might even produce some highly poisonous substance.

but……

If I don't take a gamble, I'll just be staring blankly at that jar of junk tonight.

"Fortune favors the bold! Let's take the gamble!"

Lin Yun gritted his teeth and opened all the small paper packets.

"Datura pollen...double the amount!"

"Pour all the placenta powder in!"

"Fiery Sun Grass... This stuff is hot in nature, but it can boost blood and energy. Release it!"

At this moment, Lin Yun was like a madman, rapidly deducing the conflicts and fusions of medicinal properties in his mind while throwing seemingly unrelated medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace.

Even at the last moment, in order to add that little bit of "spirituality," he hardened his eyes, picked up a knife, and made a cut on his fingertip.

"Tick-tock".

A drop of bright red blood fell into the alchemy furnace.

That was the essence blood of a martial arts master at the second level, containing the power of an elixir of immortality!

"Melt it for me!"

"Boom! B ...

This time, the alchemy furnace did not emit the clear and melodious dragon roar, but instead emitted a series of muffled gurgling sounds, as if something inside was violently churning.

An indescribable, strange smell began to permeate the air.

It smelled neither like medicine nor like something burnt; instead, it had a... faint, sweet, fishy smell?

"Freeze it!"

Lin Yun concentrated intently, pouring his inner energy into the body as if it were free.

Finally, the commotion inside the furnace subsided.

With a nervous heart, Lin Yun lifted the stove lid.

"this……"

Lin Yun was completely dumbfounded when he saw the mess at the bottom of the stove.

There was no formed plaster, nor any charred residue.

There was only a pool of milky white, viscous, steaming fluid...

"This is too much..."

Lin Yun's lips twitched as he looked at the thin threads that the thing was pulling out and its semi-transparent texture.

This looks so much like that indescribable essence of life!

If I were to give this to someone else to use, they'd probably be considered a pervert and beaten to death!

"Is it ruined?"

Lin Yun quickly pulled out a Tianyancha (a Chinese business information platform).

Om-!

[Audit Target: Unknown Paste-like Substance (Variation)]

[Component Analysis: Extremely potent medicinal properties, maximum cell regeneration capacity!]

[Asset Assessment: A miraculous healing remedy! When applied externally, it can instantly stop bleeding and promote tissue regeneration, even healing broken bones in a short time; when taken internally, it can repair damaged meridians and even has remarkable effects on some chronic injuries!]

[Special Benefits: Possesses powerful cell-activating properties; long-term use can help maintain youthful appearance.]

Side effects: Unknown (more samples needed for testing).

"Holy crap?!"

Looking at this series of incredible data, Lin Yun was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

Is this the legendary "extremely poor appearance, extremely good results"?

It can be applied externally, taken internally, and even has anti-aging properties?

This is simply a cure-all!

"It looks a bit disgusting... but the effect is amazing!"

Lin Yun carefully used a jade spoon to scrape the mess into a small white porcelain bottle.

Watching the milky white, viscous liquid sloshing around in the bottle, Lin Yun gave it a name out of a mischievous whim.

"Let's call it... White Thick Ointment."

Although the name is somewhat off-topic, it is vivid and descriptive.

After putting away the white ointment, Lin Yun did not rest.

He could feel that after a night of intense alchemy, his mental strength and true energy had been pushed to their limits, making it the perfect time for a breakthrough!

"And these five Lesser Rejuvenation Pills!"

Lin Yun sat cross-legged back on the bed and swallowed two Cloud Pattern Small Rejuvenation Pills in one gulp.

boom!

The medicinal power exploded, like two raging fire dragons rushing into the meridians.

"Break it!"

Lin Yun guided this immense medicinal power, launching an attack on the solid barrier of the third realm.

Once, twice, three times!

The bottleneck has loosened and cracks have appeared, but it's just one step away from success!

"Damn it! Just a little more! I don't have enough internal energy!"

Lin Yun gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

If we can't get through this time, it will be difficult to find such an opportunity again next time!

At this point, there were no other better Qi-replenishing pills available...

"Let's gamble!"

Lin Yun grabbed the white ointment he had just prepared, tilted his head back, and poured a small mouthful into his mouth.

The taste was slightly fishy, ​​but the moment it slid down my throat, it turned into an extremely warm current, and it carried an extremely domineering life force!

This power was not as violent as the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill, but it was like an endless pool of living water, instantly filling Lin Yun's parched meridians!

"boom--!"

It was as if a thunderclap had resounded in my mind.

That seemingly indestructible triple barrier crumbled instantly before this power, as if it were made of paper!

True energy surged like a great river, flowing through every corner of the body.

That feeling of power made Lin Yun want to let out a long roar.

"This is the Triple Realm?!"

Lin Yun opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming with sharp light, the weakness he had felt from using the Heavenly Eye Survey vanished instantly.

He even felt that his third eye had evolved.

A clearer view and faster data processing speed!

"In my current state, I could open my third eye at least ten times a day without even breaking a sweat!"

Lin Yun casually picked up the small knife on the table used for cutting medicinal herbs and slashed his arm hard.

Sizzle—!
