The Prince of Wu brought Lu Fang outside the room and said, “This is Mr. Zhang Jinglin, a direct disciple of the Northern Liang dical Sage. However, Mr. Zhang focuses on dicine and doesn’t like to socialize. Siming, help introduce it.”
Bai Siming, who was following behind, stepped forward, took out a dicine box from the wall, walked over to Lu Fang, and opened it.
Lu Fang looked down and saw that the dicinal box was full of silver powder with a strong dicinal fragrance. “What is this?”
“Snow Lake Powder.” Bai Siming used a small golden spoon to take out so silver powder. Then he got his subordinates to bring over a dying dicine-testing prisoner and directly fed the powder into the prisoner’s mouth.
Lu Fang knelt down beside the prisoner, who was covered in injuries, and checked his pulse. The prisoner’s ridians had been broken. He had an incurable illness and didn’t have much ti left.
But after taking the dicine, less than 15 minutes later, the ridians that were riddled with holes in his body clearly began to gradually restore and beco smooth…
When Lu Fang saw this scene, his eyes were full of surprise. “Is this the powder of the Snow Lake Flower?”
Bai Siming put down the box and shook his head. “This is a secret dicine concocted by Mr. Zhang. Although the dicinal effect is far inferior to the Snow Lake Flower’s, the advantage is that the dicinal herbs required are all common in the world. One tael of Snow Lake Powder can be made with dozens of taels of silver. Brother Lu, you should know the value of this item.”
As a person from Jianghu, Lu Fang naturally knew the value of this unique divine dicine that could protect the ridians and restore them. And it was even cheaper to produce than Jade Dragon Ointnt.
Putting aside making money with it, as long as there were sufficient resources, this thing alone could recruit countless martial artists with hidden illnesses.
A strange look flashed across Lu Fang’s eyes as he asked, “As long as it’s used in large quantities, can it have the sa effect as the Snow Lake Flower?”
Before Bai Siming could respond, Zhang Jinglin, who was sitting behind, slowly said, “dicine isn’t rice. Quantity can’t make up for efficacy. However, as long as there are no new injuries, people can slowly restore damaged ridians after taking this dicine over many years.”
Lu Fang’s eyes were slightly disappointed, but he looked at Zhang Jinglin with more respect and asked, “Does this dicine already have a formula, or can it be refined again to further increase its efficacy?”
Zhang Jinglin stood up and scratched his ssy hair. “Hero Lu, do you suffer from an internal injury and urgently need this dicine?”
Lu Fang realized that he had accidentally revealed his eagerness and quickly replied with a smile, “There’s a nephew in the family who’s made a mistake in his martial arts practice and needs the Snow Lake Flower to treat his injury. If he delays for too long, he’ll miss the best age for practicing martial arts and will beco useless. 1 indeed have an urgent need.”
Zhang Jinglin walked out of the room and led the three of them between the dicinal furnaces. “The Snow Lake Powder is just an indirect product of my imitation dicine. It’s extrely valuable to the world, but it’s nothing compared to what I’m really researching.”
Lu Fang was half a head taller than Zhang Jinglin, but he bowed and followed behind to ask, “Mr. Zhang, what kind of divine item are you researching?”
“Heavenly Carnelian Bead.”
“Oh? What is this?”
Zhang Jinglin walked forward with his hands behind his back and introduced seriously, “The Heavenly Carnelian Bead is a secret dicine recorded in the Northern Liang Imperial Palace. It was developed by shamans from the various tribes in the Western Sea. It is said that consuming it can forcefully strengthen and expand the ridians, open the spine, straighten the bones, and stimulate talent. The most important thing for martial artists is their bone structure and comprehension. These two are talents that can’t be changed postnatal.
“The Heavenly Carnelian Bead can correct the bone structure and expand the ridians until the bones are straight and the muscles are flexible and flawless. For example, Hero Lu, as long as you use this dicine, it’s not a problem for you to rank directly as a Martial Chief of Great Wei. Moreover, you will have the capital to point your sword at the three immortals on the mountain…”
When Lu Fang heard this, he frowned slightly. “Martial Chiefs are one-in-a-million talents, and the three immortals on the mountain are even more extraordinary. I admit that I’m worlds apart from my brother, and it’s impossible for to reach that step in my life. Mr. Zhang, you’re saying that a secret dicine can allow to cross this heavenly chasm and point my sword at the three immortals on the mountain. 1 really can’t agree.”
Zhang Jinglin walked to a dicine shelf and took out a dicine box. “When I first heard it, I didn’t believe it either. But Northern Liang did have it in the past, but it was lost. 1 saw a remnant formula in the Northern Liang Imperial Palace and studied it for nearly ten years. Finally, with the financial support of the Prince of Wu, I spent hundreds of lives to replicate it.”
When Lu Fang saw the white pill in the dicine box, he was slightly startled. “Is this the Heavenly Carnelian Bead?”
Zhang Jinglin sighed. “The imitation made with Snow Lake Powder is less than one percent effective. 1 think there’s nothing wrong with this dicine, and it can indeed expand the ridians in a short period of ti. But the shortcoming is that humans can’t withstand the dicinal strength at all. Hundreds of people tried the dicine, and I tried to rescue them at all costs, but seventy percent of them still died. The remaining thirty percent managed to survive, but they lost their minds and beca martial lunatics.”

Lu Fang stood up straighter and thought for a mont before evaluating, “Such a powerful poison is rare in the world…”
Bai Siming, who had been following behind, said, “It should be the people testing the dicine. Their physiques and minds are too weak and can’t withstand the effects of the dicine. Top experts might be able to withstand it. In the next few days, 1 will find a sect master from the twelve sects to give it a try. If it’s feasible, Brother Lu, Guan Yujia, and 1 can take a big step forward in a short ti. In addition to Sect Master Lu, we will occupy four seats of the Eight Chiefs. Why should Your Highness worry about not succeeding?”
Lu Fang felt that this statent was pure nonsense. If peak martial artists could be mass-produced with dicine, Northern Liang would have long exterminated Great Wei. Would they have waited for the Prince of Wu to pick up the scraps?
Northern Liang didn’t do this in the past, which could only an that there was a huge problem with this dicine. Either it couldn’t be used at all, or resources were limited. Even if there was a formula, the dicine couldn’t be concocted..
