"At least 50 years, the older the better."
"Will this do?" Ghost Face held out the three-foot-long turtle snake tail, which was frozen by the Ice Seal Skill. The pattern on the tail was the sa as the one Chen Yi had seen on the deck before.
Is it the sa tail from the 150-year-old, first-tier, dium grade, turtle snake demon beast?
If such a tail was used as a catalyst in dicinal concoctions, how potent that dicine would be?
"It's enough." Chen Yi nodded and took the turtle snake tail.
What followed was the dicinal concoction process which he had perford countless tis under the guidance of Elder Liu and Elder Feng.
The only thing Chen Yi needed to control was the success rate. He had to wait until Ghost Face brought out all the teenagers, especially Mr. Zhao.
He intended to perfectly concoct the vitality and blood enhancing dicine by the ti Mr. Zhao was brought out. With the addition of Zhao's sacrificial strike, the timing would be just right.
Therefore, he needed to manage this process carefully.
As for the teenagers who had followed Chen Yi, whether they live or die after their blood was used for dicinal concoctions, he could not intervene.
That day, Chen Yi began the process several tis.
Ghost Face was carefully observing and supervising each step,
but he found that Chen Yi's handling of the dical materials, his proficiency, and his knowledge about various dicines, their nature, and their taboos were all impeccable.
Ghost Face was completely relieved,
furthermore, he noticed that Chen Yi's concoction process was nearly identical to the thod on his pill recipe,
Ghost Face now understood that Chen Yi wouldn't be able to sabotage the process even if he wanted to.
Indeed, Chen Yi didn't sabotage the process, but he didn't succeed in concocting the dicine on the first day either,
he practiced the process of concocting the spirit dicine a few tis, from mortal dicine to spirit dicine, grasping its characteristics under the guidance of Ghost Face.
During the process, Chen Yi nearly succeeded twice, but thanks to his vast experience, he managed to destroy the dicine at the last mont.
"My apologies, Elder Ghost Face. This spirit dicine is significantly more complicated than any mortal dicines I worked with before,
Given my current abilities, I estimate that I need to practice a few more tis before I can make it successfully."
"No, no, no, you're doing really well."
Ghost Face admired Chen Yi's proficient operating techniques, his special way of handling spirit dicine, and the visible progress in his dicine concocting,
Behind his mask, his hideous face was nearly cracking into a huge grin.
This kid, from his first day of contacting spirit dicines, could achieve such results, he was definitely a pill-concocting prodigy!
If it weren't for the fact that his actions were unscrupulous, he would like to keep this kid and groom him into his personal alchemist!
"Kid, how many more days do you think will be needed for successful concoction?
I need to figure out the best tempo for the main pill concocting process to make sure it starts when your dicine is ready."
Chen Yi thought for a mont: "I anticipate, the day after tomorrow?"
Ghost Face laughed heartily, "The day after tomorrow, that's a great ti!"
After that, Chen Yi was settled into a solitary wooden house on the island. Perhaps to prevent any accidents, Ghost Face did not allow Chen Yi to return to the populated cave.
But Chen Yi didn't mind, he had already made arrangents with Liu Huo before leaving,
By now, Liu Huo must have made quite a few preparations already, hadn't he?
There were still more than a dozen young cultivators left in the cave, all Chen Yi could do was to notify them about the situation. As for who would survive, that was beyond his control.
Inside the cave, Mr. Zhao stared wide-eyed at Liu Huo:
"Are you sure Chen Yi can pull it off?"
"Uh huh, there's like a 98 percent chance. That's the probability Brother Chen told . He predicted that you, Mr. Zhao, should have the ability to deliver a final strike, by then, the fate of all of us will depend on you." Liu Huo replied.
Mr. Zhao's countenance went through many changes before he finally clenched his teeth, "If we don't challenge death, we will just continue to drift! Damn it, let's do this!"
Two days later,
At the makeshift alchemy shop on the island, Ghost Face asked Chen Yi again, "Are you confident about it?"
"Rest assured, elder. If I fail this ti, you can simply chop down!"
"Hahaha, fine! Then you wait for a minute, I will watch you concoct the dicine."
Ghost Face then went to the cave, captured Mr. Zhao, Liu Huo, and six others.
He took them to a large blood pool area, without saying a word, he opened the arteries of seven people, excluding Mr. Zhao, and started draining their blood.
Only Mr. Zhao was tied to the side, unhard.
He is the main ingredient, and he needs to be put in last.
After casting a sidelong glance at them, Chen Yi's heart tightened. They didn't seem to have much ti left.
Even if Liu Huo's vitality was vigorous, he wouldn't last long once his blood began to drain.
This ti, Chen Yi fully dedicated himself to concocting the Turtle Snake Blood Fortifying dicine,
He used first-tier spiritual grass, flowers, and fruits, the turtle snake's blood from 150-year-old first-tier dium-grade demon beast's tail as the main ingredients,
Also, he applied the special thod learned from Elder Feng on how to enhance the potency of the vitality and blood dicine using turtle snake's blood.
When this bowl of turtle snake blood fortifying dicine was concocted, even Chen Yi could feel the abundant dicinal power inside.
"Elder Ghost Face, the blood fortifying dicine is ready."
Chen Yi handed over a bowl containing semi-filled purple-black dicine to Ghost Face and respectfully said.
As he spoke, he took a glimpse at Liu Huo who was at a distance. Next to the blood pool, Liu Huo, whose face was pale from blood loss, managed to raise his hand and touch his nose.
"Oh? Is it ready?!" Ghost Face was thrilled and took the bowl of dicine. Instead of drinking it imdiately,
he used a small spoon and asked Chen Yi to taste it first.
Without hesitation, Chen Yi took a spoonful.
As soon as the dicine went down, he felt as if his stomach was on fire. An overwhelming vitality and blood power surged throughout Chen Yi's body,
giving him a sense of breakthrough in his cultivation of the third level of physical refinent,
Chen Yi quickly stopped the circulation of the Vajra Sutra in his body,
struggling with the imnse power of vitality and blood, he did not absorb it.
As a result, his face turned red, and his blood vessels bulged, body temperature began to rise gradually,
"Ahh! I can feel the power surging within !"
Chen Yi roared, found a rock next to him that weighed over a thousand pounds, and "exerted all his strength" to try to lift it, he nearly succeeded!
Seeing this, Ghost Face was greatly relieved. He was watching Chen Yi closely before and after he drank the dicine, and found that it indeed was non-toxic and significantly increased his vitality and blood!
Although it seed to have so side effects, it was because the kid was just a mortal. After drinking such a concentrated vitality and blood power potion, it would naturally cause his blood vessels to burst.
But being at the late stage of Qi Cultivation, he certainly can easily control it.
Looking at the pill concocting situation by the blood pool from afar,
Ghost Face drank the bowl of vitality and blood potion in one gulp, in high spirits.
Suddenly, his expression solidified.
"This dicine, sothing's not right!"
