He slept a full, uninterrupted sleep without being polite to Tang Geng and the others, as treating Zhao Wu's injuries would indeed consume some energy.
The next day, he woke up early.
He had a clear plan for treating Zhao Wu's injuries.
Besides the assistance of the Shen Nong Eighteen Needles, the key was to refine a Great Returning Pill for Zhao Wu.
The Great Returning Pill was a Tier 4 pill, and its effects were similar to the lesser returning pills of Tier 1 and 2 that he had refined before.
However, the Great Returning Pill had a more potent medicinal effect and richer spiritual energy.
As long as it was guided properly and nourished Zhao Wu's heart脉 and internal organs after entering his body, Zhao Wu's problems would be basically solved.
Of course, to accelerate absorption during this process, the Shen Nong Eighteen Needles would still be needed.
Putting aside the issue of the Great Returning Pill for now.
Han Lang had another important matter he wanted to accomplish during this opportunity.
That was the Spirit Gathering Pills, which everyone had run out of.
The situation in the recent war showed how important recovery pills like the Spirit Gathering Pill were in battles against superhumans.
Not to mention anything else,
If it weren't for him and Tang Geng breaking through at the last moment, tipping the scales of victory, the final outcome of this war might have been uncertain.
At the very least, not to mention anything else.
It would not have ended so quickly.
Han Lang had also heard about previous large-scale battles against superhumans from Liu Xiao Xiao.
It was said that battles involving tens of thousands of soldiers on one side and over a hundred thousand on the other could absolutely not be finished within a day.
In many cases, they would fight until they were tired, rotate shifts to rest, and then return to the battlefield.
And if there were enough Spirit Gathering Pills, the endurance of Han Lang and the others would greatly increase.
In some cases, it might even become the key to dominating the battlefield.
Therefore, Han Lang was now even more eager for Spirit Gathering Pills.
"It would be even better if the space in the three-story tower could be larger, allowing me to plant more spiritual herbs for Spirit Gathering Pills! This way, the number of Spirit Gathering Pills I refine each time would be more abundant."
Thinking of this, Han Lang felt a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mood.
"Let's not worry about that for now. I'll refine the Great Returning Pill that Zhao Wu needs first. Although this is my first time refining a Great Returning Pill, my strength has already broken through the Golden Core stage, so it shouldn't be a big problem! Right, Golden Core stage!"
Han Lang muttered to himself, then his eyes widened as if he had suddenly woken up.
"Spirit Gathering Pills are only more suitable for cultivators at or below the Foundation Establishment stage. I have already broken through to the Golden Core stage, so I should be using the next level, Spirit Nurturing Pills. Oh dear, I almost forgot about this."
Han Lang blamed himself while happily retrieving the spiritual herbs for refining the Great Returning Pill.
After a period of meditation, Han Lang carefully extracted the refining process of the Great Returning Pill from the memories of the Otherworldly Medicine Venerable.
After confirming that he was basically fine, he began to refine with his left hand.
The steps for refining pills were similar, and there was not much to elaborate on.
The only thing worth mentioning was that Han Lang failed once during the refining of the Great Returning Pill.
The main reason was that it was his first time and he was a bit unfamiliar. During the condensation process, the heat was slightly too high.
This led to the failure of the refining.
Of course, he quickly learned from his mistakes.
During the second refinement, he successfully obtained three perfectly round Great Returning Pills.
"Alright! Finally, it's a success. Next, I'll consume all the spiritual herbs for Spirit Gathering Pills!"
Han Lang thought as he harvested the large amount of spiritual herbs for Spirit Gathering Pills planted in the three-story tower.
At the same time, when he sowed again, he no longer planted the spiritual herbs needed for Spirit Gathering Pills.
Instead, he began to fully plant the spiritual herbs for the fifth-tier Spirit Nurturing Pills, which were most needed by cultivators from the Golden Core to Nascent Soul stages.
Han Lang was already extremely proficient in refining Spirit Gathering Pills.
Therefore, it did not take him much time to harvest over a thousand Spirit Gathering Pills this time.
Seeing that it was still early outside, Han Lang felt no rush to treat Zhao Wu, so he simply sat cross-legged and began to study the Spirit Nurturing Pills.
Although Han Lang had only just begun to plant the spiritual herbs for Spirit Nurturing Pills on a large scale, the second level of the three-story tower had already preserved a small batch of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs for Spirit Nurturing Pills.
If Han Lang did not consume too much during the refining process, he should be able to form over a hundred pills for his own temporary use.
Of course, he was not unwilling to share with Tang Geng.
It was just that he had not expected the breakthrough to the Golden Core stage to be so accidental.
If he had felt it earlier, or if he had consumed this batch of spiritual herbs for Spirit Gathering Pills before participating in this battle against the superhumans, he would have undoubtedly planted spiritual herbs for Spirit Nurturing Pills in advance.
But now, the situation was so unpredictable.
Therefore, all he could do was to inconvenience Tang Geng a little and let him use Spirit Gathering Pills for another month to cultivate.
Having made up his mind, Han Lang no longer hesitated and immediately took out a small piece from the various spiritual herbs for refining Spirit Nurturing Pills.
"These are all ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. To avoid waste, I'll use a small amount to practice first. Otherwise, if I ruin a whole batch at once, these ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs will make me feel heartbroken for a long time!"
As it was his first time refining a fifth-tier pill, and coupled with the previous failure in refining the fourth-tier Great Returning Pill, Han Lang was indeed hesitant to try with too many ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs for Spirit Nurturing Pills.
He carefully placed a small handful of cut spiritual herbs into his palm, then condensed his spiritual energy into pill fire and began to operate with great care.
The refining of Spirit Nurturing Pills was not much different from that of Spirit Gathering Pills.
Between the two, it was only because of the different grades of spiritual herbs that the concentration of spiritual energy contained within them was different.
Therefore, there were not many things to pay attention to during the refining process.
The main problem was to control the heat during the melting and condensation stages.
After all, different spiritual herbs had different properties.
The effect of pill fire on them was naturally different.
After about three minutes of high-intensity focused refining, Han Lang quickly obtained the first top-grade Spirit Nurturing Pill.
This greatly boosted his confidence.
"Heh heh, this Spirit Nurturing Pill isn't too difficult either! I feel it's much simpler than refining the Great Returning Pill!"
Han Lang was somewhat smug.
He did not know that the key to his ability to complete the refining of Spirit Nurturing Pills in one go was the influence of his experience in refining tens of thousands of Spirit Gathering Pills.
"Alright! Next, it will take about an hour to consume all these ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs!"
He did as he said.
With the successful experience, Han Lang had completely mastered the knack of refining Spirit Nurturing Pills.
He no longer proceeded with caution but began to throw the spiritual herbs for Spirit Nurturing Pills into the pill fire one by one.
Of course, he maintained his utmost focus during the refining process.
An hour quickly passed.
Looking at the abundant harvest of over a hundred Spirit Nurturing Pills before him, Han Lang was filled with joy.
"Ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are indeed different. With just this small amount of spiritual herbs, I got such a high yield of pills. It seems the Medicine Venerable treated me well. With this batch of pills, it should be enough for me to last until the next batch of spiritual herbs for Spirit Nurturing Pills matures!"
After storing the pills, Han Lang glanced out the window.
At this time, the sky had just begun to show the first light of dawn.
He washed up briefly, then left his room and strode towards Zhao Wu's place!
