Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 226 - 199: Wu Ziying: Sect Leader, Can Eating This Really Make Me Stronger?

Just as Qi Hanyan was planning how to make a quick escape, Su Yuan quickly explained:

"Don't misunderstand, Qi. Although our sect doesn't have the pill formula, we do have a sample of the elixir and a rough ratio of the ingredients."

"What I'm saying is, as the Pill Hall Master, can you reverse-engineer the pill formula using this information?"

"If you can do this, the patent for the pill formula can bear your name."

"Once our medicine becomes popular, you'll be collecting a lot of patent fees."

Hearing Su Yuan's request, Qi Hanyan was silent for a moment before shaking her head and saying:

"I can't do it."

"Sect Leader, it might be because you don't understand alchemy, but reverse-engineering a pill formula is not something a high school student can do. You should seek someone more skilled."

Chen Nuoyi and Wu Ziying, who were listening, weren't surprised at all.

Because this was the expected situation. Although they didn't understand alchemy either, they could guess how difficult it was to reverse-engineer a pill formula.

Asking such an ordinary countryside girl to reverse-engineer a pill formula, Su Yuan was indeed a bit too fanciful.

But why would Su Yuan propose such an apparently impossible task?

Naturally, because he valued Qi Hanyan's top talents: "Acquired Pill Saint" and "Wuji."

He was certain that if Qi Hanyan put in the effort, she could definitely replicate the pill formulas for the Nine-Turn Golden Core, the Sixth-Transformation Golden Core, and the Third-Turn Golden Core.

This would save a great deal on the deduction costs of the pill formulas!

Moreover, if a portion of the patent was given to Qi Hanyan, there was a very high chance of tying this girl securely to the large vessel of Primordial Sect.

It's just a pity that her response left Su Yuan a bit disappointed.

"Really can't do it?"

Su Yuan spoke sincerely:

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"Qi, I think you're special; in the path of alchemy, you absolutely surpass everyone, including Zhang Baiyi."

"I specifically came to you for deducing the pill formula to give you a platform to showcase your abilities!"

"I'm special?"

Listening to Su Yuan's heartfelt words, the girl's eyes widened slightly.

Then she lowered her head a bit shyly and said:

"Actually, I'm not that special... If the Sect Leader insists to this extent, I'll work hard and give it a try."

Su Yuan's eyes brightened.

Was she swayed just by a few casual words of persuasion?

Unexpectedly easy to handle.

But then, Qi Hanyan added:

"Sect Leader, if I really do manage to deduce the pill formula, can you promise me a request?"

Tsk, seems it's not that easy to fool.

Su Yuan sighed inwardly but still smiled and said:

"What's the request? If it's within my power, I will fulfill it."

Qi Hanyan eagerly said:

"Could you introduce me to Yin Qiyue and other artists from Primordial Media?"

"To be honest, I'm a big fan of theirs. My dream is to become a dazzling star like them."

Su Yuan: "..."

He glanced uncertainly at Qi Hanyan's talent list.

There wasn't a single talent related to performing.

Goodness, constantly saying she wants to be a star, yet she hasn't taken any real action other than idolizing and talking about it.

With such lack of drive, having the "Wuji" Colorful Talent seems wasted on you.

If you put in even a bit of effort, you'd already be a social media influencer at Yin Qiyue's level by now.

Su Yuan secretly resolved that once he successfully tied Qi Hanyan to him, he must change this girl's temperament and thoroughly harness her potential.

In the Primordial Sect, there is no room for those who do not strive.

"No problem. Once you show your performance in the future, I'll arrange for you to debut, and maybe even form a group with Yin Qiyue."

Su Yuan openly agreed.

The girl's bright, silvery eyes behind her large, black-framed glasses immediately shone brightly.

Subsequently, Su Yuan led the group to the swimming pool at Taihua High School.

Although he was no longer a student at Taihua High School, this swimming pool was still one of Su Yuan's bases.

Here, Su Yuan had prepared a large amount of alchemy equipment and even rented several rare analytical instruments.

"Sect Leader, where is the elixir sample?"

Qi Hanyan asked eagerly.

"Here it is."

Su Yuan took out a box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a pill with nine different hues in front of Qi Hanyan, Chen Nuoyi, and Wu Ziying.

The three of them fell silent for a moment.

Because the Nine-Colored Elixir sounded like some kind of rainbow, but in reality, it wasn't.

The nine colors of this thing weren't distinct but rather subtly blended, looking dirty, like a lump of clay formed by nine different colors of modeling clay.

Qi Hanyan observed the lump carefully, then took the medicinal ingredient list for the Nine-Turn Golden Core, deep in thought.

The sight made Su Yuan a bit nervous.

He was well aware of the complexity of the Nine-Turn Golden Core, and among elixirs below the Foundation Establishment level, its refinement difficulty was absolutely top-tier.

Could Qi Hanyan, this Acquired Pill Saint, really handle it?

After a long pause, Qi Hanyan asked:

"Sect Leader, do you have spare samples of this elixir?"

Su Yuan: "If one sample isn't enough, I can get a few more."

Qi Hanyan said:

"If there are extra samples, then let's feed this pill to a test subject and see."

"I will determine the proportion of various medicinal ingredients in the pill by recording the test subject's performance."

"Given that this is a Qi Cultivation Stage elixir, the test subject should ideally be a Qi Cultivation Cultivator, or at least a Qi Cultivation Stage primate."

Su Yuan nodded.

At this moment, Wu Ziying, who had been watching the scene for some time, couldn't help but laugh and said:

"This pill is so ugly, it looks toxic. Only an idiot would be willing to eat it."

Su Yuan said nothing, but stared intently at Wu Ziying without blinking.

The smile on Wu Ziying's pretty face slowly disappeared, replaced by fear.

She pointed at herself with a finger, incredulously asking:

"Could this experimental subject be me?"

Su Yuan calmly pushed the Nine-Turn Golden Core towards Wu Ziying:

"Why else do you think I called you over? To research elixirs?"

"Hurry and swallow this Nine-Turn Golden Core. Don't worry, the elixir's effect is absolutely not dangerous, at most there will be some minor side effects during its efficacy."

"And these side effects don't contain any drug poison; they'll disappear once the effect wears off."

Wu Ziying looked at the oddly strange colored elixir, her expression nearly tearful:

"Sect Leader, can I not eat it?"

"This pill is so ugly, I really can't bring myself to swallow it."

Su Yuan thought for a moment, activating the righteous disguise, transforming the Nine-Turn Golden Core into a completely golden color, with a nine-colored glow radiating from its surface.

"Does it look more appetizing this way?"

Wu Ziying: "…That's not the issue with the appearance!"

Seeing Wu Ziying's various attempts to evade, Su Yuan suddenly became somewhat displeased.

He pulled Wu Ziying in front of him, lowering his voice and coaxing:

"Xiaowu, you've been in the Top Ten Preparatory Classes for a while now."

"In this period, have you not realized how fierce the competition in the class is?"

"To stand out among the many prodigies in the class, you can only rely on your excellent physique."

"And though your physical talent is high after my development, it's not enough without the support of corresponding resources."

"This Nine-Turn Golden Core happens to be a Body Refining Holy Medicine; once ingested, you'll gain amazing power, surpassing even the Federation's strongest athlete, Xiong Wei, won't be just a dream!"

Listening to Su Yuan's extremely persuasive words, and feeling overwhelmed in her studies for a while now, Wu Ziying's expression gradually shifted from resistance to hesitation.

She stared at the golden elixir in Su Yuan's hand, and after an intense psychological struggle, she trembled and asked:

"Sect Leader, can taking this really make me stronger? Are the side effects severe…?"

Su Yuan: "Don't worry about the side effects; Nuoyi and I will cover for you."

"Moreover, once this drug is mass-produced, I'll eat it myself too; there won't be any unacceptable side effects."

Wu Ziying gritted her teeth and ultimately decided to take the Nine-Turn Golden Core, closing her eyes, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The next second, a violent medicinal power erupted from within Wu Ziying's body, nearly solidifying!

The girl's exposed fair skin turned pink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Such… such strong medicinal power."

Chen Nuoyi's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

Qi Hanyan didn't dare to hesitate and quickly began recording the drug effects.

And along with the eruption of medicinal power, Wu Ziying's body underwent a drastic change!

Her blood seemed like mercury, roaring in her veins under the pumping of her heart.

With each circulation of qi and blood, the girl's strength seemed to grow more powerful.

In just a few seconds, Wu Ziying furrowed her pretty brows and weakly said:

"I'm so hungry…"

Su Yuan immediately took out a large amount of food from the storage magical treasure.

The girl hurriedly grabbed various high-nutrition foods in front of her, wolfing them down, her eating speed not at all inferior to the day Chen Nuoyi awakened her bloodline.

One can only imagine how astonishing the Nine-Turn Golden Core's physical enhancement effects were on her body.

During the enhancement process, Wu Ziying's figure also became more harmonious; originally more robust among girls, she gradually returned to a white, slender form.

This wasn't because she lost muscle, but because her muscle density increased.

A more graceful and slender physique, yet it can gain stronger power and explosiveness!

This is the dream physique that many athletes covet.

The only peculiarity on Wu Ziying's body was that her head seemed to become pointy, luckily not very discernible due to her thick hair.

It's no different from when she took the blue pill before; once the effects wear off, she'll naturally return to normal.

"Xiaowu, how do you feel?"

After Wu Ziying's transformation stabilized a bit, Su Yuan cautiously asked.

Wu Ziying raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with unprecedented wisdom.

She pointed at herself and said:

"Body refining medicine must be able to refine the body."

She pointed at the heap of delicious food in front of her:

"Good food must be delicious! Eating must be filling!"

She picked up a goose leg, stood up, and while eating, pointed at the floor, saying:

"The floor must be flat, the swimming pool must have water…"

Su Yuan: "…"

Listening to Wu Ziying's grand talks, Su Yuan faintly felt that the Nine-Turn Golden Core's side effects might be greater than he imagined.

"Su Yuan, Wu classmate won't turn into a fool, right?"

Chen Nuoyi worriedly tugged Su Yuan's sleeve, whispering.

"No… she won't."

Su Yuan tried hard to maintain a smile and said:

"Besides, Xiaowu hasn't turned into a fool, what she says actually still makes a lot of sense."

Chen Nuoyi stared at Su Yuan without speaking.

Su Yuan couldn't hold it any longer and had to say:

"Make sure to keep Wu Ziying secure, and see the situation after the twelve-hour effect passes."

"If people outside knew about these side effects, our pharmacy would die right out of the gate."

Time passed, and twelve hours went by.

Qi Hanyan had already filled her notebook with dense clinical records.

And Wu Ziying, who had been gesturing grandly, regained her senses immediately after the effects ended.

She turned her head and looked at Su Yuan, her delicate face full of incredulity:

"Su Yuan, after eating the Nine-Turn Golden Core, I feel like I've suddenly become so smart."

"It's like I've comprehended some truth of the world and can articulate eloquently!"

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi looked at each other, silent.

Qi Hanyan quickly noted another line in her notebook:

"During the Nine-Turn Golden Core, the experimental subject perceives themselves as very intelligent."
