Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Chapter 134 Marrow Cleansing Potion (Bonus Chapter)

Yang Wudi stood in front of a somewhat old wooden cabinet, turned to look at Lin Yang, and his brows revealed a hint of arrogance and provocation.

"Since this is an exchange, let's not play games."

A glint of light flashed in Lin Yang's eyes: "What brilliant idea does Clan Chief Yang have?"

Yang Wudi pointed to the wooden cabinet behind him and said proudly, "These are rare medicinal herbs that I have collected over the years. You and I will each choose two kinds to make four kinds of medicine."

"Use these four herbs as the main ingredients, and combine them individually. You can choose the auxiliary materials yourself." Yang Wudi pointed to another wooden cabinet. "We will each make our own medicine, and the medicinal properties of the finished product are not limited."

He paused, then looked directly at Lin Yang: "Finally, we'll personally verify the finished product. Dare to compete?"

Lin Yang's eyes lit up; this was the first time he had encountered such a competition format.

Creating a finished product from a limited number of medicinal materials requires accumulated knowledge, broad vision, and a deep understanding of the medicinal properties.

The medicinal properties are not limited, meaning that the finished product can either save lives or take them away, which tests the rational use of medicinal herbs.

Finally, personally testing the medicine was an even greater test of his abilities.

Interesting, really interesting!

This long-awaited competition reignited Lin Yang's competitive spirit.

Although he was a latecomer to the profession, he has swallowed countless herbs and experimented with numerous formulas over the years.

Every failure, every backlash, has been deeply etched into my body's memory; this is knowledge gained through firsthand experience.

"Okay," Lin Yang readily agreed, his tone calm and resolute. "I will do as you say, senior."

"very good!"

Yang Wudi snorted, but in his heart he felt a little more admiration for Lin Yang.

Since the other party dared to agree, it means they have absolute confidence in themselves. Such a person is not someone who has earned their reputation in vain.

"Since I proposed this competition, you may use anything here as you wish."

Lin Yang waved his hand: "No need, just prepare an empty table for me."

97

"Simple!"

A moment later, a wooden table was placed in the stone chamber.

"Then let's begin!"

Yang Wudi thought for a moment and then selected two herbs from the wooden cabinet: Blazing Sun Grass and Ice Heart Lotus.

One is fire, the other ice; their attributes are completely opposite.

If not handled properly, let alone becoming a finished medicine, you might end up with just a pile of useless waste.

Lin Yang, on the other hand, chose Blood Essence and Red Peony.

The four herbs were placed side by side on the table.

These four herbs have completely different medicinal properties and attributes, making it quite difficult to use them as the main ingredient.

After a moment's thought, Yang Wudi turned his attention away and began to process the herbs.

His technique was skillful; every step, from taking the medicine, weighing it, cutting it into sections, grinding it, and soaking it, was performed smoothly and seamlessly.

Clean and efficient, with not a single unnecessary element.

Lin Yang, not to be outdone, placed one special vessel after another on the table.

Beakers, droppers, distillation apparatus, condenser and other instruments filled most of the wooden table.

Yang Wudi's eyes twitched when he saw this. Could this thing be used to make medicine?

However, he quickly looked away and stopped looking.

Too flashy!

He snorted inwardly, then focused on processing the Blazing Sun Grass in his hands.

This herb grows in extremely sunny places and matures only once every ten years. Its medicinal properties are as hot and dry as fire. If it is not handled properly, its medicinal power will be completely lost. Therefore, he used the gentlest jade mortar and pestle to slowly grind it.

Lin Yang, on the other hand, laid a layer of white paper on the table, placed the Blood Essence on the paper, and gently picked up a small amount with his fingertips to feel its quality.

The longer the blood essence is aged, the darker its color becomes.

The piece in his hand was a dark red, like congealed blood, and felt smooth and warm to the touch; it was a top-quality item among top-grade items.

He gently cut a slice from the blood essence with a knife, then put it into a distillation flask, added a small amount of water, lit an alcohol lamp, and began the initial extraction.

Time passed by, second by second.

The atmosphere in the stone chamber grew increasingly heavy.

Yang Wudi was now standing in front of the huge bronze medicine cauldron, with flames raging beneath it. His hands were pressed tightly against the cauldron's walls as he used his soul power to regulate the temperature inside.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his gaze grew increasingly calm.

Lin Yang, on the other hand, carefully used a long, thin dropper to put a drop of solution into the test tube.

It shook!

In an instant, the solution in the test tube seemed to undergo a miraculous change.

The competition quickly came to an end.

The enormous bronze cauldron was opened, and Yang Wudi used his soul power to extract the pills inside and put them into a porcelain bottle.

Several medicine bottles now appeared in front of Lin Yang, each containing about ten milliliters of liquid.

The liquid had a strange dark red color, with a hint of blue, and it seemed to flow faintly under the light of the fire in the stone chamber.

Finally, the two placed their final creation on the table.

Yang Wudi coughed lightly, then picked up the potion in front of Lin Yang. "Then this old man will try it first."

Upon opening the bottle, a faint aroma wafted out, neither bitter nor fragrant.

Yang Wudi examined them carefully, but found that he could not identify any of the herbs.

His brows furrowed even more, but he still poured the liquid from the bottle into his mouth without hesitation.

The moment the liquid entered my throat, it felt like an icy line, incredibly clear and cold, falling into my stomach. After a short while, that icy line suddenly exploded.

A warm sensation rose from his dantian, neither intense nor cold, yet it spread to his limbs and bones at an astonishing speed.

The warmth felt like being gently brushed by an invisible hand.

Yang Wudi closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.

After a while, he opened his eyes, his expression complex and indescribable.

"This medicine's effect is... marrow cleansing?"

"Chief Yang is absolutely right." Lin Yang clapped his hands. "I used ice and fire as the base and blood circulation as the catalyst to create this marrow-cleansing potion."

"However, this medicine only works on children under six years old. After six years old, the medicine's effectiveness is greatly reduced."

Yang Wudi fell silent.

To put it bluntly, if a young child were to drink this potion, the chances of him awakening his innate soul power would greatly increase.

Even if one has innate soul power, it might still be possible to increase one or two levels.

Even if this medicine is very expensive, there are still people scrambling to get their hands on it.

Although Lin Yang hadn't taken his pills yet, the outcome of the competition was already decided.

"My turn!"

Lin Yang swallowed Yang Wudi's pill in one gulp, chewed it slightly, and said, "Clan Chief Yang, this pill can cleanse the body of long-standing ailments and toxins, and soothe the meridians. It's very useful for people with old injuries."

Yang Wudi sighed, his tone tinged with a mixture of relief and regret: "I lost."

His voice was not loud, but every word was clear.

"I, Yang Wudi, have never been convinced by many people in my life, but I am completely convinced by you."

Lin Yang was slightly taken aback, and quickly stood up: "Clan Chief Yang, you flatter me. Today is just an exchange—"

"I've lost, and I can still be magnanimous. However... I have a favor to ask."

At this point, Yang Wudi showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

Lin Yang smiled and said, "Please speak, Clan Chief Yang."

"I want to buy all the remaining marrow-cleansing potions. Name your price, and I'll have no objections."

Lin Yang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Clan Chief Yang, these were originally your medicinal herbs, so the marrow cleansing potion should naturally be left for you as well."

"No, no, no," Yang Wudi stubbornly shook his head, "Here, the herbs are just herbs, but it's you who truly transforms them into something magical, so you have to name a price."

Lin Yang thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, since Clan Chief Yang has said so, I won't stand on ceremony. I only have one request."

"What request do you have? Just say it."

"I would like to borrow the records of the Broken Clan regarding all medicinal herbs throughout history."

Yang Wudi was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. "That's it? No problem. Those books are all in the clan's library; you can read them for as long as you want."

"Thank you, Clan Chief Yang!"
