Chapter Thirty-Four, 'Will' Dan Medicine

  ————————————————————————

  Qin Tian returned to Furong Building in the afternoon.

  He sent Yun Wan back home, looking at her dilapidated house and her ailing mother, he felt a pang of sympathy, thinking about how to help them. He offered them silver, but they refused to accept it. After some thought, the only thing he could do was arrange a job for her mother, which had become an easy task for him now.

  Back at the Furong Hotel, Qin Tian asked Zhang Dafu to arrange a job for him. Zhang Dafu immediately took care of it and got him a decent salary and benefits. The work wasn't heavy either, just washing dishes every day at noon.

  Yunmeng's mother's matter had been settled, Qin Tian returned to the backyard, he was now eager to try out the Dan-refining technique and see what kind of Dan medicine he could refine.

  Qin Tian sat cross-legged on the stone bench, his eyes slightly closed, and opened the skill bar in the system. He then clicked on 'Alchemy', and suddenly the scene in his mind changed. The originally metallic-colored space turned into an alchemy room, with a cauldron inside emitting purple gas, surrounded by swirling smoke, and wafting with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

  Qin Tian didn't have any extra thoughts to pay attention to these, using his mind to control the space ring, took out three spiritual grasses, Silver Lotus Grass, Blue Flame Flower, and Fire Phoenix Grass, threw them into the alchemy furnace, followed by a system prompt: Confirm whether to refine the elixir?

  Yes

  "This time refining elixir deducts 100 qigong value"

  "Damn it, alchemy is still deducting my dad's qigong..."

  Qin Tian grumbled in his heart, staring dead at the alchemy furnace. Suddenly, the flames inside the furnace became extremely fierce, and the scarlet flames rampaged wildly within...

  One minute passed, and Dan furnace was still like this...

  Two minutes have passed and Dan furnace is still like this...

  Three minutes passed and Qin Tian's eyes were a bit sore...

  ……

  Ten minutes passed, and the fire in the alchemy furnace gradually subsided. The system also 'ding'ed, "Alchemy failed, do you want to continue alchemy?"

  "What the f***, wasting my old man's 10 minutes just for a sentence saying that refining the elixir failed?"

  Qin Tian felt very unhappy, and took another look at the proficiency of his alchemy skills. He was puzzled to find that the proficiency was still 'zero'. It seemed that he had to successfully refine a pill before his proficiency would increase.

  Nowadays I don't even bother with all that.

  Throwing a few more stalks of spiritual grass in, hope reignites in his heart...

  Ten minutes passed and the system voice sounded again "Pill refinement failed, continue refining?"

  "Alright, you win, but I'm still going to continue..."

  Again a few stalks of spiritual grass were thrown in, and ten minutes later, another sentence appeared: "Pill refining failed, do you want to continue refining the pill?"

  "I'll beat you to death..."

  ……

  More than 100 stalks of ling grass were gone soon.

  Looking at the last eight spiritual grasses in the spatial ring, Qin Tian didn't even bother to think about it and directly threw them all into the furnace. Tens of failures had dealt a heavy blow to him, not even once, not even a single success, completely giving him no hope.

  And wasted several thousand points of spiritual energy, the consumption of spiritual energy was like cutting his heart.

  Ten minutes have passed...

  Qin Tian's face was expressionless, with a look of having guessed the outcome. He followed the system and said: "Alchemical failure, do you want to continue alchemy?"

  "Alchemical refinement successful, congratulations on obtaining a low-quality elixir."

  "What? Didn't hear it wrong? Succeeded?"

  Qin Tian's spirit was shocked, his eyes lit up, and he became excited in an instant. He immediately opened the spatial ring, but his face quickly changed, and his excited spirit suddenly wilted. He muttered to himself, "System, I hate you... Alchemy, I hate you..."

  Low-quality Dan medicine

  Chi value: 1 point

  Health: 1 point

  Note: Coarse and inferior Dan medicine, use with caution. Taking it may cause great discomfort to the body...

  Staring at the fist-sized, black and shiny object that looked like cow dung, Qin Tian couldn't believe this was the Dan medicine he had refined. According to legend, Dan medicine could increase one's Qi and life values, but what the hell did it mean by "the consumer is extremely likely to experience physical discomfort"?

  "Is there something wrong with Laozi's appearance? After refining a pill, he ends up looking like this?"

  Qin Tian's heart was filled with resentment as deep as the sea, and he quit the alchemy system without hesitation. He returned to reality and took out a "low-quality elixir" from his spatial ring. His eyes rolled once, and he shouted: "Zhang Da Fu..."

  "I'd like to see what's meant by 'extreme discomfort' caused by taking this..."

  "Scientific achievements always require countless failures before they can be successful."

  "What's failure?"

  "Let's take a look at its medicinal properties first?"

  Qin Tian wanted to find someone to test the medicine, and naturally thought of Zhang Da Fu.

  Zhang Dafu rushed to the backyard in a flurry, his face revealing a look of panic. Seeing Qin Tian's smiling face, he felt a sudden tightness in his chest. Without waiting for Qin Tian to speak, he immediately said: "Young Master, something's wrong! Zhao Jianan from the Zhao family has arrived."

  "Zhao Jianan?" Qin Tian furrowed his brow, wondering who Zhao Jianan was, when Zhang Dafu immediately added: "He's the son of Zhao Wudi, that evil tyrant who does all sorts of wicked things."

  Qin Tian suddenly thought of what had just happened in the black market on the west side of the city, and smiled faintly, "Oh, I see."

  Qin Tian was about to get up, but was stopped by Zhang Da Fu, who said urgently: "Young Master, Zhao Jian Nan has brought someone with him. He is the most outstanding figure among the younger generation of the Zhao family, and even Xiao Ru Feng has to be careful around him. Young Master, you'd better hide for now."

  "What kind of person is feared by even Xiao Rufeng?"

  Qin Tian smiled coldly and said, "I'd like to see what kind of person it is."

  "Master, Master..."

  Zhang Dafu grabbed Qin Tian, looking worried that something would happen to him. Qin Tian gently patted Zhang Dafu's meaty face and said, "Don't worry, I'm not the same Qin Tian as before."

  Then stepped into the wine building hall, in the backyard Zhang Dafu whispered, "What is called not the former Qin Tian?"

  "Rare guest, truly a rare guest! The great Mr. Zhao has arrived, and our humble shop is honored by your presence."

  Qin Tian walked up with a smile all over his face and saw that the large hall of the wine house was empty, except for Zhao Jianan's table, so he went straight over.

  "Hey, pretending not to know me? Trying to get in good with me? Weren't you acting all cocky at the black market in West City?" Zhao Jianan had one foot on a stool, holding chopsticks and pointing at Qin Tian, who was walking up with a smile all over his face, as he angrily said.

  Zhao Yi lightly picked up a piece of beef, lightly put it in his mouth, chewed a few times, coldly looked at Qin Tian, then downed a cup of wine, and the internal energy on his palm had already started to operate secretly, releasing a faint killing aura from his body...

  A killing aura spread out, and the surroundings suddenly became slightly oppressive. Qin Tian's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself: "What a powerful aura."

  Lingdong three stages, qigong is also lingdong three stages, a very strong existence.

  The only one who can rival Xiao Rufeng is Zhao Yi, but they were both once defeated by Qin Tian. When Zhao Yi saw Qin Tian, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

  Zhao Jianan smiled secretly, and it was necessary to get rid of Qin Tian as soon as possible.

  "Lord Zhao's young master, how could you say that? Just now I didn't know your identity."

  "It's true that you don't know someone until you fight with them. To express the apology in my heart, I've decided to make it up to you..."

  Zhao Jian'nan listened with interest and also gave Zhao Yi a look, telling him not to make a move for the time being. He wanted to see how Qin Tian would compensate instead.

  Qin Tian walked up to Zhao Jianan with a sly look, his eyes darting back and forth as he carefully pulled out the 'low-quality elixir' from his pocket. He chuckled and said, "Young Master Zhao, this is some 'Viagra' I just got my hands on. If you take it, even the most stubborn woman will fall in love with you. Take it a day in advance, and the effect will be extremely noticeable."

  The inferior elixir, having just been refined, still carried a strong medicinal aroma. A whiff of the fragrance entered his nostrils, and Zhao Jianan couldn't help but smile in surprise. He gazed at the enormous elixir in Qin Tian's hand, secretly delighted. Lately, his performance in bed had been declining, and he was just thinking of finding some supplements.

  Zhao Jianan put on an expression of complete disinterest, took the dan medicine and began to play with it in his hand, saying lightly: "Really has the effect you said?"

  "Little brother dare not deceive you, this kind of elixir must be taken immediately after it's made, its endurance is extremely strong, fighting for seven days and seven nights is no problem."

  Zhao Jianan's expression couldn't deceive him, Qin Tian saw that his body was weak and must have been indulging in too many women recently. At this point, he even exaggerated and added more fuel to the fire, leaving Zhao Jianan no choice but to believe him.

  "Master Zhao, this medicine has just been made and is at its most potent. If you don't take it now, the effects may not last as long." Qin Tian said respectfully beside him.

  Zhao Yi watched but didn't say a word, he was completely clueless about the Dan medicine.

  Zhao Jian Nan had some understanding and also knew about this kind of aphrodisiac pill, but didn't expect it to be the size of a fist.

  Zhao Jianan looked around and then took a bite, the fragrance of the dan medicine spreading out, he became even more convinced, immediately swallowing it whole...

  Qin Tian took several steps back and looked at him carefully.
