Chapter 165: Luo Qingshan Leaves, Testing the Medicine Again?_3
```
"It seems...they want to wait and see a while longer,"
"Or rather, they're hoping to reap the benefits without lifting a finger."
"The Ke Family from Xunyang Prefecture near Changli Prefecture is continuously launching attacks on Changli Prefecture."
"The current situation in Changli Prefecture is hanging by a thread."
...
Following Ruan Liuli's concluding remarks,
Luo Changfeng quietly nodded his head.
Although Ruan Liuli did not share any information about the Luo Family,
he was, after all, the Ancestor of the Luo Family.
When Luo Ping was making significant decisions,
he always discussed every detail with him.
Thus, this led to
Luo Changfeng being extremely well-informed about his family's situation.
"The New Emperor Feng Wumian who rules over the two prefectures..."
"Feng Wuhen who governs the land of Changqing Prefecture..."
"And the Ke Family within Xunyang Prefecture..."
Luo Changfeng thought silently to himself.
But, it was just a moment later,
he no longer concerned himself with these trivial matters.
Let Luo Ping, Luo Yong, Luo An, that generation of clan members handle these trivial issues.
As the Ancestor of the Luo Family,
Luo Changfeng's only duty was to enhance his cultivation as quickly as possible.
...
After waving his hand,
Luo Changfeng then took out a scarlet-colored
Qi-Blood Elixir from his storage ring, which faintly emitted a peculiar aura.
After taking out the Qi-Blood Elixir,
he directly popped it into his mouth.
The elixir melted upon contact with his tongue.
Streams of scalding scarlet liquid slowly trickled from Luo Changfeng's throat into his lower abdomen.
A surge of potent Qi-Blood Force began to tumultuously churn within him.
However, it seemed that because his cultivation had improved,
the efficacy of the Qi-Blood Elixir lasted only about ten minutes before it was completely absorbed.
"I feel... like I could take another one?"
Under the Stone Pavilion,
Luo Changfeng slightly squinted his eyes.
He silently pondered this in his mind.
However, as much as he thought about it,
he naturally wouldn't undertake such an uncertain action.
"With the current strength of Spiritual Fire Void, it can devour about five percent of the mysterious energy hidden deep within me in one day."
"Five percent a day, fifty percent in ten days."
"Twenty days, is one hundred percent."
"In other words... I only need twenty days before I can take another Qi-Blood Elixir?"
Luo Changfeng calculated in his mind.
If one could indeed consume an elixir every twenty days,
then the time frame wasn't too long.
...
After taking the next Qi-Blood Elixir,
and completely digesting the efficacy of the medicine within the elixir,
Luo Changfeng then approached a Yellow Grade upper tier Alchemy Furnace that he had purchased from the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect.
An upper tier of the Yellow Grade, while certainly good,
appeared to be a bit too pricey.
And the cost-performance ratio...
```
```
Compared with the Yellow Grade Upper Tier alchemy furnace, there was simply no comparison at all.
Therefore, Luo Changfeng had chosen the Yellow Grade Upper Tier.
As for the rest of the spirit stones, most of them were used to purchase the unique Yellow Grade Lower Tier beast fire of the Main Sect of Wan Dan Sect, the Black Crow Flame.
The Spiritual Fire Void wanted to continue growing stronger.
It needed to swallow more and stronger flames.
The eyes of the Initial Ghost were an exception.
Moreover, the fact that the Initial Ghost could be called the Divine Child by the Gate of Immortality proved that there might only be one of the Initial Ghost.
He surely couldn't expect
that the growth of the Void relied entirely on devouring the eyes of the Initial Ghost, could he?
Such an event was, obviously, unrealistic.
...
In the blink of an eye, several more days had passed.
In these few days, Luo Changfeng had spent almost all his time on alchemy.
He had failed more than three hundred times while concocting the Qi-Blood Elixir.
Among these, he had succeeded five times.
Accordingly, five new types of Qi-Blood Elixirs were created.
However, whether these five new types of Qi-Blood Elixirs
could actually be used to enhance one's cultivation level,
or if there were any side effects of some sort.
Luo Changfeng did not know any of these things.
Therefore, he still had to continue experimenting.
...
After Yuan, who was hiding in the small courtyard, captured five cultivators of the Organ Refinement Realm,
a new round of drug testing began.
Of course, under the threat of death,
nobody was willing to volunteer as a guinea pig for the drug trial.
But, it didn't matter.
Near Luo Changfeng, there were numerous extremely "amiable" Shadow Guards.
Those Shadow Guards would help those Organ Refinement Realm cultivators consume those untested Qi-Blood Elixirs.
However, the results
seemed somewhat disappointing.
The five new types of Qi-Blood Elixirs concocted after more than three hundred failures
appeared to have none that were successful.
Those Organ Refinement Realm cultivators either died from their bodies exploding, or they simply became brain-dead.
The less unlucky ones suffered from Qi-Blood reversal, leading to bleeding from all seven orifices.
Even if they survived,
their cultivation had been completely stripped away.
Becoming thoroughly useless individuals without any cultivation.
And in this cold and cruel world of cultivation, becoming a person without any cultivation meant that your life was about to come to an end.
"Clean up well..."
In the small courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion,
Luo Changfeng looked around at the filth that was everywhere.
He couldn't help but frown slightly.
Then, he spoke to the Shadow Guards in front of him.
The Shadow Guards nodded slightly, then began cleaning up the small courtyard, splattered everywhere with crimson blood and chunks of flesh.
And Luo Changfeng, sitting under the Stone Pavilion,
was sipping on the hot tea in his hands while silently pondering in his heart.
Pondering, where exactly had he gone wrong?
Wondering if he should fine-tune the elixir recipe even more delicately?
He was also reflecting on
which type of spiritual medicines the Blood Asura Grass should be matched with.
Then, and only then, could the Qi-Blood Elixir achieve a delicate balance that was not easily disrupted.
