1466 Agula’s Defeat
Hearing Chu Yunfan’s words, Agula’s expression changed and he shouted, “What do you mean, Chu Yunfan?!”
“Don’t you know what I mean? The Thirteen Brilliant Suns itself is a flawed alchemy technique, and the Brilliant Sun Fire is too overbearing. As long as the Brilliant Sun Fire was used, it would inevitably cause huge damage to the pills’ attributes,” Chu Yunfan said lightly.
“You’re slandering me.” Agula denied it. But in reality, he was no longer as calm as he was at the beginning. Although he had not practiced the Thirteen Brilliant Suns for a long time, he had noticed that there were some problems.
“Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, it’s very simple. We’ll know when we test the pills,” Chu Yunfan said lightly, “There should be a Pill Inspection Beast here. We’ll know if we try.”
Pill Inspection Beasts were similar to the white mice that the Federation liked to use for scientific experiments. They were used for clinical experiments, especially when developing new pill recipes. They could not use humans for experiments so they used Pill Inspection Beasts for experiments.
This was a method passed down from ancient times. These Pill Inspection Beasts had all gone through special training and their bodies were extremely sensitive. After swallowing a pill, the cause and effect would soon be revealed.
When everyone heard Chu Yunfan say this, they understood that he was right. After all, he said it with such certainty.
“That’s true. It should be easy to find a Pill Inspection Beast here. We can try it and know if the pills are really effective.”
“That’s right, but I think Chu Yunfan’s words are true.”
“It’s hard to say. After all, whether it’s true or not depends on the results of the experiment.”
“I refuse to believe it.” Agula gritted his teeth. He didn’t believe that the pills he refined had flaws.
“I brought a Pill Inspection Beast with me.” A middle-aged man walked out from the crowd, carrying a small cage. In the cage, a small beast with pale white scales, looking at the crowd with its eyes wide open.
Before Agula could object, Chu Yunfan reached for one of the pills in the long wooden box.
“The is the Tranquil Heart Pill. This should calm one’s heart and energy,” Chu Yunfan said lightly.
For many warriors, their cultivation could not be separated from these sorts of calming pills. If they wanted to have an epiphany, they had to eliminate all distracting thoughts. However, this was not easy, and if there was a calming pill, everything would be much easier.
“However, you changed the formula of this Tranquil Heart Pill. Other than the main ingredient, the Tranquil Heart Grass, you’ve changed all the supplementary ingredients. It was a stupid move. The effects of the pill made through this method increased its effect by only 20%, but the cost has doubled,” Chu Yunfan commented bluntly.
In his eyes, this Tranquil Heart Pill hid no secrets. Everything had appeared in front of him. Everyone listened to him casually say so much information, and they couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
Chu Yunfan was simply terrifying. If it were them, they would have to use specialized equipment to detect the use of these pills. It was simply impossible for Chu Yunfan to be able to see through everything with just a glance.
“What do you know? This is an improvement! I’m not selling it to civilians, so the cost is not a problem at all.”
Agula was furious. It was because of these improved pills that he was able to pass the alchemy expert test and become the youngest alchemy expert in the history of Jinzhanghan.
“An improvement? What a joke. This was not how it works.” Chu Yunfan sneered. “It’s just your wishful thinking. You actually replaced the most important ingredient of the supplementary medicine, the Traceless Grass. Do you know that the biggest effect of the Traceless Grass is to combine the various medicinal properties? It can increase the absorption efficiency of the pill by 50%. You don’t know anything and only want to increase the medicinal strength. In the end, the Tranquil Heart Pill you refined did increase in strength by 20% on paper, but in reality? The absorption efficiency by the human body is less than 80% of the original, and you still dare to say that your modification is successful?”
Agula’s face turned ashen when he heard Chu Yunfan’s explanation. Chu Yunfan was absolutely right about all these things. In past experiments, all of these flaws had appeared. But even so, the Alchemist Association of Jinzhanghan still allowed him to become an alchemy expert.
Because not every alchemy expert had the ability to modify a pill recipe. The formation of every recipe often required a long time of grinding. It was not a big deal if there were flaws for a while and could be slowly modified in the future. However, this ability and talent were rare. Agula thought so and did not care.
In this competition, he specially chose this version of the Tranquil Heart Pill because he was the one who had modified it. Even if Chu Yunfan could guess the type of pill, Agula had not made it according to the standard process. Even if Chu Yunfan knew that it was a Tranquil Heart Pill, he would not know how he made it.
It was even more impossible for Chu Yunfan to know what ingredients were used.
That was why Agula was so confident. Who would have thought that Chu Yunfan would expose him with a single sentence? Moreover, from what Chu Yunfan said, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Chu Yunfan threw away the recipe that Agula had carefully developed and pointed out all kinds of mistakes in it. Thinking of this, Agula felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
At this moment, Chu Yunfan fed the Tranquil Heart Pill to the Pill Inspection Beast. He said, “Normally, the Tranquil Heart Pill should be able to calm a person and eliminate all distracting thought. However, because Agula had changed the process and recipe of this pill, and added the fire element of the Brilliant Sun Fire into it, I dare to say that this Tranquil Heart Pill will not calm this beast and even make it irritable.”
Sure enough, as soon as Chu Yunfan finished speaking, the Pill Inspection Beast began to roar angrily and bashed against the iron railing. Its originally white scales began to turn red.
When everyone saw this scene, they sucked in a breath of cold air. Chu Yunfan was right. If an ordinary person took that pill, they might not have such a big reaction. However, the Pill Inspection Beast had been specially trained and was very sensitive to pills.
Now that the Pill Inspection Beast was acting like this, it verified Chu Yunfan’s statement. Agula’s pills were simply trash, and they didn’t even have the qualifications to be evaluated.
Agula had lost, and he had suffered a crushing defeat!
