I Have Medicine Chapter 95

Once they made their pledges, the heartbeats of the three pharmacists sped up for brief moment. However, they were rather distracted and didn't discover any differences.
Only, if they really divulged any secrets, the vow would come true.
Gu Zuo couldn't help asking the system: If they broke their vows, what would happen?
[The vow would cause the pharmacists' medical beads to destroy themselves the moment they divulged any secrets. If they tried to do so again, they would directly lose their lives. For a martial artist who'd swear upon the martial path, all of their cultivation would be destroyed, turning them into a handicapped person. If they still tried to divulge any secrets, they would also directly perish.]
Gu Zuo immediately set aside his concerns.
In other words, at least no secrets would be leaked from these pharmacists' mouths… Only, he needed to always be on guard to prevent them from carelessly leaking secrets and causing their medical beads to self-destruct, as well as conceal the matter from them.
However, the Heavenly Oath was truly harsh.
After Gongyi Tianheng became aware of the results bought about by the Heavenly Oath, he made further plans for the arrangements of those three pharmacists.
In short, the purpose of their partic.i.p.ation in the Pill Fundamentals a.s.sociation was now successfully completed.
Soon after, Tianheng brought these pharmacists back to the sect.
And so, these pharmacists were handed nominal disciple tokens and became his subordinates — There were only four tokens left in his possession.
He didn't intend on making use of these four spots for the time being.
Things were as usual for the Qingyun outer sect.
Zhang Mingyuan and the others followed Tianheng as they returned to his courtyard. Because the outer sect was rich in ambient qi, it brought about an enormous feeling of happiness in them.
Though they weren't martial artists, they were still pharmacists, and they wanted to refine even higher grade medicinal pills. One also couldn't neglect the cultivation of their body's true qi.
Dragon One and Dragon Two's skills were comprehensive and diverse. Their temperaments were also very steady. With their recent arrival to the sect, their roles were equivalent to Tianheng's housekeepers.
Currently, the three pharmacists were a.s.signed a room by Dragon One. He removed the wall between two conjoining houses, which would serve as their secret room for refining medicine.
Gu Zuo also received the mission completed prompt.
However, to him, this prompt wasn't a prompt. In fact, its usefulness wasn't substantial. Because this system of his was good at understanding others, it was also very strange. It basically didn't have any rewards — Or to say, the system sent rewards in the form of mission items in the first place. The penalties for mission failures were also very simple. Either there wasn't any punishment, there was a deduction of medicinal qi, or just obliteration. And normally, the circ.u.mstances for obliteration weren't many. One could say that the system's a.s.sistance to him was enormous.
Once Gu Zuo gradually trusted the system, there wasn't any of that trepidation like before, of feeling a mentality of paying too little and gaining too much. Because he found that having this mentality was useless, considering how the system should act, would he be able to reject the system's help from here on out?
Having a.s.sistance on hand, but not employing it because of suspicions was a kind of cowardice in disguise.
After following Gongyi Tianheng for a long time, Gu Zuo clearly understood one argument — Retreating was useless; it was better to fight with everything one had. One needed to remain vigilant, but one shouldn't take precautions for vigilance's sake and hole themselves up.
In any case, what he learned was made his own. After he advanced to Xiantian, he could distinctly sense the resonance of the medical beads in his palms when he refined pills. And there was basically no connection between the medical beads and the system. In other words, this innate skill was his own. Even the system was incapable of depriving him of this!
Since this was the case, he studied carefully. Perhaps once his strength was high enough, he'd be able to understand many matters. Right now, he was thinking too much. It was no more than getting upset over nothing.
So, Gu Zuo didn't concern himself. He turned his head to look at Tianheng: "Big brother, then what'll we do now?"
Tianheng said: "First, go check out
>. Ah Zuo, try select a school of thought from within and have those three pharmacists practice it."
Gu Zuo understood instantly.
This big brother of his intended on nurturing pharmacists.
As such, it was only natural he'd do his utmost to help.
After returning to the room's interior, Gu Zuo took out the Primary Medicine Refinement Cultivation Method from his storage s.p.a.ce and opened it up to take a look. Unexpectedly, he discovered that it had eighty one cultivation methods here!
A total of eighty one!
Gu Zuo was practically itching to take a look.
Afterwards, he also discovered that these cultivation methods weren't simple at all!
Because they all…formed complete sets.
For example, there was one called >, which was divided into three volumes: Three Turns, Six Turns, and Nine Turns. In this >, only the first Three Turns were collected in >. The follow-up was mentioned only in the appendix.
However, without any follow-up, just the Method of Three Turns Golden Flames by itself could already provide enough insight for a pharmacist to cultivate from Houtian to perfect Xiantian.
Moreover, after Gu Zuo flipped through the unfamiliar sections of the previously obtained
>, he understood a bit more — This Golden Flames Nine Turns Cultivation Method was actually an attribute cultivation method.
From here, Gu Zuo started realizing that pharmacists had differences in const.i.tutions just like martial artists… Although, the differences in martial artists weren't recounted in this foundational knowledge book.
First, let's talk about a pharmacist's const.i.tution. The most common one was the Five Elements Const.i.tution. Every person had the five elements working within them. The attribute that the body favored the most would manifest itself as a const.i.tution type. Certainly, there were single attribute pharmacists who had particularly pure const.i.tutions, but they were extremely rare and weren't normally discussed.
The Golden Flames Nine Turns Cultivation Method was the most suitable one for pharmacists with the metal and fire attributes to practice. After practicing it, their bodies would exhibit strange effects. The more closely one's const.i.tution fit the cultivation method, the faster the rate one could practice it.
As for the pharmacist who had this kind of attribute, when they refined pills with such attributes, it'd be like gaining G.o.dly a.s.sistance. When they refined pills with other attributes, it would be a little inferior.
But in general, cultivating with an attribute cultivation method was a good thing. Because, apart from medicinal pills of a mutually restraining attribute, the cultivation method wouldn't affect the pharmacist's level. On the contrary, it would upgrade the pharmacist's refining ability towards pills of specific attributes. If there was a pharmacist with an attribute cultivation method, they'd basically choose practices based on their own const.i.tution, not the ones their const.i.tutions would waste.
On the Qingyun Continent, attribute cultivation methods were very rare. However, the last time Gu Zuo saw the cultivation method practiced by the crowd of Pill Fire Society pharmacists, there was no need for doubt that it was a kind of attribute cultivation method. Otherwise, under the premise of the colossal Qingyun Sect, it'd be impossible for that group of pharmacists to remain independent and not attach themselves to a large power.
Attribute cultivation methods were very precious, and some even had specialized medicine refining hand seals to match. The eighty one sets of cultivation methods in Gu Zuo's hands were all attribute cultivation methods. Besides the Five Element Attributes, it contained many special attributes. The implications were abundant.
Gu Zuo even felt familiar with the medicine refining hand seals annotated in parts of the attribute cultivation methods. After careful consideration, weren't those the ones recorded in the unorthodox medicine refining hand seals?
These two item books clearly matched each other.
Currently, Gu Zuo only took out a type of pill refining hand seal from the unorthodox medicine refining hand seals. With matching hand seals for refining medicinal decoctions and cuisines, it would already be very attractive to pharmacists…
The more Gu Zuo thought about it, the more he felt that the wealth in his hands was too great.
Ah, his heart was distressed.
Afterwards, Gu Zuo thought that this matter wouldn't be pondered over by him. Once he pushed everything onto his dear big brother, he would quickly get rid of many of these notions.
He felt he'd first pick out the goods that were second-cla.s.s by comparison from those attribute cultivation methods before discussing it further.
This time, he didn't have to practice all of it again. He found that so long as he used his own true qi to interact with the routes those cultivation methods utilized, the bone pearls within his body would naturally give a corresponding response — The more urgently the bone pearls trembled, the faster the cultivation methods could be practiced, and naturally, the better the cultivation methods were.
After almost nearly an hour, Gu Zuo interacted with all the routes of the eighty one cultivation methods.
Ultimately, he choose ten sets which were good enough.
However, he also could imagine that the stuff included in these ten sets…shouldn't be particularly simple.
"Big brother!"
Gongyi Tianheng lifted his head and saw his little pharmacist cheerily rushing over. Watching this kind of lively att.i.tude would delight one's mood.
He couldn't help smiling: "Ah Zuo, already done?"
Naturally, Gu Zuo repeatedly nodded his head: "I've picked them!" After that, he lowered his voice, "But, first we must test their body attributes…"
Mentioning this, he told his dear big brother about a pharmacist's body attributes and so on.
Tianheng nodded: "How do we test for it?"
Gu Zuo unfolded his palms mysteriously, and a palm-sized piece of transparent jade promptly appeared: "Just deliver one's true qi into it."
This thing could be used by both pharmacists and martial artists, "How about big brother gives it a try?"
Tianheng raised an eyebrow, extended his hand, and gripped the jade stone.
After three seconds, the color of the jade stone changed.
White, green, black, red, and yellow… Quite a few colors flashed one after another. Finally, it settled on a kind of gentle gray. In addition, while it was called gray, it was actually approaching silver. It was very beautiful.
But in the end, what attribute was it?
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. It was none of them!
After being unable to recognize it for a period of time, Gu Zuo was a little embarra.s.sed. He thought about it and said: "Then, I'll give it a try, too. I was too excited just now, so I completely forgot…"
After he finished speaking, he also injected his true qi into the stone.
This time around, the jade stone wasn't a mix of colors as if it was continuously changing. Instead, it settled on a milky white color in a short while.
Yet, it was strange. Among the five elements, the metal attribute corresponded with the color white. However, metal had an acute spirit. The corresponding white should give a person a feeling of a chillingly sharp knife. The milky white color here…was exactly the same as the color of medicinal qi!
Gu Zuo: "…"
He didn't know what to say at all.
Perhaps, he and his big brother both had very rare and special attributes?
Upon seeing this, Gongyi Tianheng actually wasn't so jumbled up like Gu Zuo.
He extended a hand to ruffle Gu Zuo's hair, and smilingly said: "Pretty good. Ah Zuo's an extremely special person, so it's natural that you have a special manifestation. I have Ah Zuo to help, so receiving influence and becoming special isn't strange."
Gu Zuo helplessly said: "…Okay. I'll just regard what big brother says as the truth."
