Chapter 704 The Undying Pill
As Nan Zhu spoke, the inner force within his body erupted, the fiery red inner force engulfing the forest like the setting sun.
Facing such inner force, the giant took two candy-like things from his pocket and popped them into his mouth.
His power, which was originally only at the level of a Grandmaster, instantly surged, reaching the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
Seeing this, Nan Zhu almost dropped his jaw.
Chen Yang, however, was not surprised by this scene at all. He immediately said, "This medicated person can perfectly integrate the power of elixirs. We must resolve this quickly. You take the left, I'll take the right!"
To refine humans with medicine, humans are like sponges, absorbing any medicinal effects. Medicine has three parts poison, and over the years, the toxic power becomes a significant force.
Chen Yang had heard of this special training method before, but without exception, no one could train a medicated person at the Grandmaster level.
No matter what kind of medicinal ingredients were used, once the toxic power gathered to a certain point, it would erupt.
The medicated person was doomed to die!
But now, seeing the medicated person before him with his own eyes, Chen Yang understood that the Zhou family's alchemist had succeeded!
It had to be said that in this regard, this person was indeed a genius, but what he did was something Chen Yang disdained.
No matter how strong this person was, his lifespan would ultimately be only a few years. This was the bottom line for a physician.
Chen Yang, the Medicine Saint Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Medical Hall, had saved tens of thousands of lives and taken tens of thousands of lives with his hands.
Nan Zhu, a descendant of a collateral branch of the Zhu family, the foremost family in the southwest, had ascended to the position of God of War step by step, treading on white bones.
The combat experience of these two individuals could be said to be at the pinnacle among the younger generation.
Looking at the battle before her, Meng Qingxue's mind was completely blank.
It was the first time she had witnessed such a terrifying scene. Within the area of combat, there were no weeds or trees, as everything had turned to dust the moment they clashed.
The immense fluctuation of inner force generated by the exchange of blows turned into gusts of wind when it reached Meng Qingxue.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. The only living things in the forest, feeling this immense power, scattered in all directions.
The alchemist, who was in the process of collecting the elixir, naturally felt the immense aura of battle, but he could not leave at this moment. The formation of the elixir was a matter of an instant.
This time, in helping the Zhou family refine the medicament, the rare medicinal ingredients he had asked the Zhou family to find were only enough for one refinement.
If successful, he might become an undying medicated person!
He could perfectly transform the toxins within the medicinal ingredients into inner force.
Everything he had done for decades was for this day.
No matter what happened outside, nothing could stop him!
Chen Yang and Nan Zhu attacked simultaneously. Success or failure had already been determined.
Even if he were to take all the elixirs on his person, he would still not be a match for the two of them.
Just as Nan Zhu was about to deliver a fatal blow, Chen Yang stopped him.
A sneer appeared on the lips of the medicated person, with a hint of madness in his smile.
"Die!" The medicated person's voice sounded as if it came from hell. He dragged his heavily wounded body and walked towards Chen Yang step by step.
But Chen Yang made no move, standing there and watching him coldly.
The moment the medicated person reached Chen Yang, both Nan Zhu and Meng Qingxue's hearts were in their throats.
This medicated person was now a genuine peak Grandmaster. Every strike he unleashed was with perfect power. Even if Chen Yang's physical body was strong enough to withstand it, he would still be injured by such force.
But the medicated person finally stopped. He slowly halted his steps within a meter of Chen Yang.
Whether he could not go further or was bewildered by Chen Yang's lack of resistance, no one knew.
"Why?" The medicated person's voice became extremely hoarse, losing all its previous imposing aura, like a decrepit old man.
His eyes also began to dim.
Chen Yang watched as the medicated person's skin slowly withered, and his once tall frame began to change.
"Your physique is indeed special. You've consumed so many elixirs without any side effects. But you don't know that the reason the toxic side effects haven't erupted is not only because of your physique but also because they were suppressed by the medicinal power."
"In that moment, you consumed too many recovery elixirs. The slight toxins contained within them acted like a lit fuse, directly detonating all the toxins in your body."
Upon hearing Chen Yang's explanation, the medicated person collapsed directly in front of Chen Yang.
The medicated person had fallen into a coma. If he was not treated promptly, he would slowly die within minutes.
"Let's go quickly. With such a commotion, we can't let the Zhou family's alchemist escape."
Chen Yang did not follow Nan Zhu's urging. Instead, he used his inner force to seal several crucial meridians of the medicated person.
Chen Yang whispered to the medicated person, "All I can do is this. Whether you live or die depends on your fate."
Meng Qingxue, who had rushed over, heard Chen Yang's words and asked with some confusion, "You want to save him?"
Just moments ago, every move and every strike from this medicated person was aimed at taking their lives.
Was Chen Yang being so kind?
"Save him? His illness is incurable, or rather, this is not an illness but a calamity."
After speaking, Chen Yang said no more and walked in the direction Nan Zhu had disappeared.
Chen Yang could sense the power of the surrounding trees being burned. The Zhou family's alchemist was probably refining elixirs.
The anomaly in the sky reminded Chen Yang of the celestial phenomena when he had helped the bronze tree create its meridians before.
"What kind of elixir is he refining?" Chen Yang's doubts grew stronger.
By the time the three of them reached the thatched hut, the sky was not just filled with lightning and thunder. A colossal pressure from heaven and earth descended like a torrential river pouring onto the land, leaving no room for breathing.
Fortunately, this pressure only targeted martial artists. Meng Qingxue only felt that her breathing was slightly uncomfortable.
"This place isn't at a high altitude. Why do I feel like I have altitude sickness?" Meng Qingxue muttered, but she didn't hear Chen Yang and Nan Zhu's replies.
Because in Chen Yang and Nan Zhu's eyes, the thatched hut before them was erupting with immense energy.
"What on earth is this guy refining!" Nan Zhu's voice trembled as he spoke. He had seen others refine elixirs, but he had never witnessed such a vast and vigorous outburst of power.
It was Nan Zhu's first time seeing it. He quickly turned to look at Chen Yang. After all, Chen Yang was the Hall Master of the Heavenly Medical Hall and had more authority on this matter.
Chen Yang's face also showed a look of solemnity.
"He's gathering the essence of heaven and earth to condense into an elixir, and what's erupting is life force. If I'm not mistaken, this alchemist of the Zhou family is refining the Undying Pill!"
Nan Zhu's eyes widened in shock. "Undying?"
