Chapter 125: Fetish
Zhou Ping sneered, took a step forward and snatched the medicine in Zhang Bufan’s hand. “You said that what you refined is a pill?”
With a light grip, the pill in Zhou Ping’s hand instantly turned into medicinal mud.
“What are you doing?” Zhang Bufan glared.
“I ask you, why do you use the jade bottle to store the pill?” Zhou Ping ignored Zhang Bufan and asked loudly.
“You don’t even know this, so you are ashamed to convince me?” Zhang Bufan snorted.
“The purpose of using a jade bottle to pack the pill is to keep the medicinal properties of the pill from being lost. In ancient times, jade was regarded as a special item. It’s no longer among the five elements and was the best material for preserving precious items.”
“Draining of medicinal properties?” Zhou Ping almost slapped Bufan’s face again. “Nonsense.”
“The pill itself is safe and peaceful. The so-called divine things are self-concealed, but the real good things are restrained and not ostentatious before they are used.
“Look at the so-called medicinal pill that you refined. The fragrance of the medicine is tangy when you take it out! Do you think the fragrance of the medicine is refreshing?” Zhou Ping looked at the crowd, and everyone nodded.
“Do you think this is the magical pill? I tell you, this is actually the volatilization of the properties of the pill.
“Why does Zhang Bufan use jade bottles to store the pill? Because what he refines is not a pill! If you follow this volatilization rate and do not store the pill in a jade bottle, a large amount of medicinal properties will be lost within a few days. If it is over ten and within half a month, these so-called medicine pills will become indistinguishable from stones.
“Have you ever heard that the pill can only be stored for ten and a half months?” Zhou Ping’s words made everyone suddenly realize it.
“Yes, some of the excavated medicinal pills have been preserved for thousands of years. If they are so volatile, how can they be preserved for so long?”
“I heard that the pill that was excavated was also preserved in porcelain vases or even wooden boxes. So, what Zhou Ping said is reasonable.”
At this time, the eyes of everyone looking at Zhang Bufan began to become complicated. Some people still believe in Zhang Bufan, but some others became suspicious.
“You…” Zhang Bufan’s face was pale. There was still half-minute arrogance. However, Zhang Bufan’s mouth was not willing to admit defeat, and it was difficult to get a shameful sword. If he admitted defeat now, would he bear the reputation of a liar in the future?
“You are talking nonsense! The effect of my pill can be seen by anyone. If it is not an elixir, how can there be such a powerful effect?” Zhang Bufan’s words immediately caused a group of people to change their positions.
“If you say a thousand words and ten thousand, you still have to have a real effect. The pill that Master Zhang refines can have such a powerful effect, who says it is not an elixir?”
“I think the elixir is like this. Zhou Ping doesn’t understand it, so he is talking nonsense, right?”
“Shut up!” Elder Zhou couldn’t stand it anymore and he scolded. “Look carefully, you don’t have the ability to judge at all. It’s in vain to be descendants of my Zhou family.”
When Elder Zhou spoke, the crowd was silent.
“The effect of the medicine? Your medicine is really powerful, but it’s not an elixir,” Zhou Ping ignored the crowd’s comments, nodded, and said. Zhang Bufan was secretly relieved when he heard this.
“Don’t get me wrong, when did I say yours is not a pill?” Zhou Ping said.
“I’m just saying that what you refine is just a semi-finished product.”
“Semi-finished product?” This time, it was Elder Zhou who spoke. “Is there a semi-finished pill?”
“The so-called semi-finished product is actually a failed product. The difference is that it still has a part of the medicinal effect of the pill, but the medicinal effect is at least half lower than that of the pill, and it volatilizes very quickly and is not easy to store,” Zhou Ping explained to Elder Zhou.
“No wonder you had to dissolve the so-called ethereal pill in the water before. I originally thought that you didn’t want to reveal your identity as an alchemist, but I didn’t expect that your level of alchemy was not that great and you couldn’t refine the real pill.” Zhou Ping looked at Zhang Bufan, his eyes were striking.
“You haven’t seen a real pill. How can you say that what I refined is not a real pill? If you have the ability, you can take out a pill and let us take a look.” Zhang Bufan has a hard duck mouth, but everyone could see that, in fact, he had a guilty conscience.
“If you don’t see the coffin, you won’t cry! It’s good, I will convince you to lose. You see what this is?” Zhou Ping took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket.
Originally, Zhou Ping bottled ten pieces a bottle, and there were exactly twenty-four bottles. But Zhou Ping tried the medicine himself and took one. So Zhou Ping took the bottle with only nine pills left on him.
This was an ordinary porcelain bottle. Under everyone’s gaze, Zhou Ping poured a round pill from the porcelain bottle.
Unremarkable.
There was no fragrance and no vision. Except for being specially round, this pill was fancy and featureless.
“This is the pill? It doesn’t look like it at all?” someone muttered softly, and everyone present looked unbelieving. Such a thing that looked indistinguishable from ordinary pills was the “Pill”?
“What I am refining is the Spirit Gathering Pill, which can greatly enhance internal strength. How about you, Master Zhang, would you like to comment?” Zhou Ping held the Spirit Gathering Pill and looked at Zhang Bufan.
“No, I didn’t expect you to actually refine the pill.” With a trembling opening, Zhang Bufan’s face was gray and his voice was hoarse and dry.
Boom!
The crowd exploded suddenly.
“The elixir? This is the elixir?”
“At a glance, I think this pill is extraordinary, with a restrained light, and it really deserves to be an elixir.”
“What effect does this pill have? It seems to be able to increase internal strength?” The crowd looked at Zhou Ping with green eyes.
“The pill! It is still a pill that can increase internal strength! If I take one, maybe I will become a master of the world.”
Greedy gaze constantly swept over the pill in Zhou Ping’s hand, and even Elder Zhou was moved.
“Aping, have you really refined the pill? This pill…” Swallowing, Elder Zhou stared at Zhou Ping.
The reputation of the pill had long been spread among the powerful.
“Is this pill really effective?”
“The effect is really strong.” Zhou Ping nodded.
“How much internal strength can that increase?” Elder Zhou’s breathing was a little short.
“This… differs from person to person? Some people take it better, and some people take it less effectively.” Zhou Ping was a little embarrassed. What he had in his body now was True Qi, not internal strength. This medicinal pill could even increase the True Qi in his body by a lot. The increase in internal strength was definitely more exaggerated. How much internal strength could be improved? Zhou Ping didn’t know.
“I don’t know exactly how much internal strength can be improved. How about taking one, Grandpa?” Zhou Ping thought for a while and said to Elder Zhou.
