Chapter 45 – Marrow Nourishing Pill
"I was originally planning to pay, but since you didn't want it, it's a pity …"
With the whole basket of herbs in hand, Lu Sheng returned to the hotel where he was staying. For him, this little incident had no impact at all.
Lu Sheng was very clear that the darkness in this world could not be completely eradicated. But he could make himself strong.
As long as he was strong enough, he would be like a source of light, and wherever he went, darkness would automatically retreat and dissipate.
Lu Sheng’s originally intended on making around ten Marrow Nourishing Pills to test their effects first. But after unexpectedly obtaining so many dicinal herbs, he decided to make more of them.
The difficulty of refining Marrow Nourishing Pills was much greater than that of Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction, and it would be difficult for him to refine them all in a short ti with his own strength.
So Lu Sheng ca up with a solution.
He found many pharmacies in Shuhai City and hired them to process the herbs needed for the Marrow Nourishing Pills. This could save a large part of his effort.
The main thing was that the processing of the herbs did not require much skill and was very tedious.Lu Sheng himself only need to be responsible for the final mixing and decocting.
However, he would have to go to many places every ti he wanted to get the herbs. Nevertheless, it would greatly reduce the possibility of the prescription being leaked.
Just like that, Lu Sheng began to live a fulfilling and regular life every day.
Get the herbs, make the pills, cultivate, and sleep. Repeat.
Three days later, Lu Sheng, who was wearing a robe, sat on the hotel bed. He took out a pill as dark as onyx from a glass vial and gently dropped it into his mouth.
He chewed and swallowed it.
A few seconds later, an incredible heat surged out from Lu Sheng’s body.
This surging heat was like an earthworm, drilling into Lu Sheng’s bones, bringing him an incomparable tingling and numbing sensation.
Lu Sheng’s body did not remain idle while he was at it. He began to follow the movents of the Stellar Body Refining Technique and practised it, while also using the Natural Breathing Technique.
As Lu Sheng cultivated, the room began to be filled with a faint mist and the temperature began to rise.
In the end, the large room was hazy with white mist, and the centre of the room was surging with heat.
It was as if a star was really being nurtured in the nebula.
“Phew …” Lu Sheng exhaled a long breath. The hot breath blowing away the thick white mist in the room.
Lu Sheng stood up and turned on the air conditioning, walked into the bathroom while silently contemplating about the Marrow Nourishing Pill he had just taken.
The nourishing effect of the Marrow Nourishing Pills on his blood and qi was many tis greater than that of the Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction.
Even after Lu Sheng had taken a pill, he was unable to completely absorb the dicinal power of the Marrow Nourishing Pill. There were still a lot of residual effects left in his body.
You should know that what he was practising was the "Stellar Body Refining Technique", in addition to the "Natural Breathing Technique". One could only imagine how terrifying the effects of the “Marrow Nourishing Pill” were.
“No wonder the Nourishing Marrow Pill is a graded supplent. While the Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction is simply just a dicinal decoction …”
This grading of supplents was still sothing Lu Sheng learned about recently.
He was afraid that the difficulty of making the Marrow Nourishing Pill would be too high, and that his failure rate increasing as he went on. Therefore, he specifically hunted the mories of several zombies who used to be pharmacists when they were alive.
These kinds of people—pharmacists—were very easy to find. He could just go into any random pharmacy and walk in to them.
All of Lu Sheng's knowledge about dicines and supplents ca from the mories of these pharmacists.
“Even in the 10,000 years of martial cultivation, the Marrow Nourishing Pill was one of the most suitable dicinal pills for martial artists below Level 3.
“This is because in addition to replenishing a practitioner’s blood and qi, the Marrow Nourishing Pill also had a certain tempering effect on the user’s bones.
“And the process of promoting a Level 3 Martial Artist to a Level 4 Martial Artist involves the process the martial artist tempering his bones …”
Lu Sheng had been taking two types of supplents: Spiritual Musles and Blood Strengthening Decoction, and the Marrow Nourishing Pills.
The forr had a tempering effect on the martial artist’s musles, while the latter tempered the bones.
In a sense, in the process of taking these two supplents, Lu Sheng had also long been unconsciously and subtly tempering his musles, tendons, and bones.
He would only realize the effects of his current gains after he was promoted to a Level 3 Martial Artist. Given his advantages, it wouldn’t take him much ti be promoted to a Level 3 or Level 4 Martial Artist, unlike an ordinary martial artist.
"In total, I prepared more than fifty sets of herbs and finally made twenty-five Marrow Nourishing Pills. It seems like a lot, but I don't know how long I will be in the training camp. It might not be enough …"
Lu Sheng thought to himself as he looked at the few small bottles filled with Marrow Cleansing Pills in front of him.
A success rate of 50% was actually very high.
From the mories of the pharmacists he had absorbed, generally speaking, a Level 1 or Level 2 pharmacist refining a Marrow Nourishing Pill would be thankful if he could succeed once out of four attempts .
Logically speaking, a newbie like Lu Sheng who had just started making dicine should not have such a success rate. He did not know what caused it.
It was the sa when he concocted the Spiritual Muscles and Blood Strengthening Decoction. The success rate was shockingly high.
Lu Sheng did not think of himself as so kind of pharmaceutical genius.
He guessed that it might be related to the fact that he absorbed a lot of dream mories, and his spiritual power and other aspects were much stronger compared to normal people.
Lu Sheng packed up everything in his room and put several vials of marrow raising pills carefully in his suitcase to prevent them from being damaged.
If it were not for the fact that he had to rush to the Dongning Province to participate in the Prodigy Training Camp's induction ceremony, he would have stayed here for a while longer.
After all, the fresh herbs for refining the Marrow Nourishing Pill were only available in Shuhai City, so he’d have to co back to Shuhai to replenish his stock if he ran out. Which was a lot of trouble.
