Chapter 83 Heart Protection Pills Learning to Make Medicine

Sitting at the table by the window, Zhou You lowered his head and read a book which contained the analysis of ancient seal characters.

His expression remained expressionless, and the panel prompts rang in his ears.

"Experience -50, Ancient Seal Script 4→v5."

A stream of information poured into my mind, and the obscure words on the paper immediately became vivid and actively penetrated into my mind.

His attainments in ancient seal script have reached a new level.

Zhou You put down the book, picked up the pen and wrote a few lines on the paper, pondered for a moment, and burned the paper and the words.

The translation of the Seven-Step Poison Sand Palm technique has been almost completed.

This palm technique consists of two parts: the Seven Soul-Chasing Steps and the Great Poison Sand Palm. The former is a body technique and the latter is a palm technique.

In addition to body and palm techniques, it also includes an internal training method called "Boneless Heart Sutra".

As far as Zhou You knew, the internal training method of Jianxiong Martial Arts School was called "Jade Tiger Kung Fu", and only the inner court disciples were qualified to learn it.

The Seven-Step Poison Sand Palm, using the flesh palm to refine the deadly poison, contains palm wind, and brings terrifying killing power with every move. There is also the Seven-Step Soul-Chasing Palm, which follows like a shadow and hunts the enemy to the ends of the earth.

The combination of body movements and palm techniques has an overall lethality that is even greater than that of the Subduing Tiger Fist.

"Seven Soul Chasing Steps, the basic lightness skill can be raised to a higher level."

Zhou You took a quick look at the body movement part, which involved taking seven steps as a rhythm, changing positions and appearing and disappearing mysteriously.

Once it gets close to the opponent with its body skills, the poisonous palm will touch the skin and kill the opponent on the spot, hence the name "Soul Chaser".

This body movement is at a higher level than basic steps such as square and circle steps and pecking the ground vertical step.

And what about the Great Poison Sand Palm?

According to the name, palm techniques are the core of this martial art, and the Great Poison Sand Palm is the most important one.

The specific steps of practicing are to rub the snake venom in the palm of your hand, circulate your strength, energy and blood to refine it, and then release it when encountering an enemy. It will be colorless and odorless when mixed in the air. If it can come into contact with the skin, it will penetrate into the skin on the spot and kill the enemy invisibly.

Don't underestimate this process, it's very important.

Highly poisonous substances harm the flesh and blood body equally, and practitioners are no exception, so specific internal training methods are needed to offset the damage and gradually strengthen the meridians to produce resistance to the toxic substance.

The internal training method of the Seven-Step Poison Sand Palm is equivalent to the foundation of a building.

If one does not have any internal training methods, the power of the external training method of the Poison Sand Palm can only be practiced to 30% at most.

Therefore, this poison palm is of a higher level than the Subduing Tiger Fist. To become an expert at it, one must practice the "Boneless Heart Sutra" to be effective.

The palm technique does not lie in its exquisite changes, but in its deadly poisonous lethality.

"Experience value -100, Damage Control Level 10 transformed into Great Poison Sand Palm Level 1."

Zhou You made a decision in an instant and upgraded this poisonous palm technique to the entry level. After experiencing the routines and changes of the palm technique, he shook his head.

The Poison Sand Palm is not poisonous and its power is almost the same as the Subduing Tiger Fist, which is just of average level.

However, if one practices internal martial arts, rubbing the poison in the palm of one's hand and transferring it to the fingertips, the lethality will double.

“Snake venom is very expensive!”

Zhou You shook his head and said that it would be better not to try it unless necessary.

When I saw the end of the internal training method, my body was shocked. This is the most precious content of the whole text.

"Heart-protecting pill."

The poison penetrates the skin, merges into the blood and easily flows into the atrium. Although it is only a weak effect, once it accumulates over a long period of practice, it will inevitably cause fatal damage that corrodes the atrium.

The Heart Protecting Pill is a companion pill to the Seven-Step Poison Sand Palm. In addition to strengthening the meridians in the hands and increasing strength, it also has the effect of protecting the heart meridian and preventing toxins from entering the heart.

"Excellent, very good."

After reading the prescription and refining method of the Heart Protecting Pill, Zhou You couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The Heart Protecting Pill is a secret medicine comparable to the Tiger's Life-Changing Pill.

He was in the outer courtyard of Jianxiong Martial Arts School. Although he had no worries about food and drink, the secret medicine needed for training was a big problem.

As his cultivation level increased, the efficacy of tiger bone ointment and tiger bone wine gradually declined, and he urgently needed a more effective secret medicine. The Tiger Life-Changing Pill was the most suitable, but it was only available to inner courtyard disciples, and it was not his turn as an outer courtyard apprentice.

Now that he has the Heart Protecting Pill, he sees hope.

The Heart Protecting Pill mainly offsets the side effects of the Poison Sand Palm, but it also has the effect of strengthening the hands and increasing strength.

"Well, the materials are not difficult to find, and you can basically buy them."

Zhou You was thinking about the purchasing channel. The Heart Protecting Pill had to be kept secret and only he knew about it.

My father works in a trading company, so I can entrust him to buy some common medicinal herbs that are of no importance.

The remaining important medicinal materials were purchased from Xingrentang, and other medicinal materials were also mixed in to confuse the reader.

He is now well-off and is no longer satisfied with purchasing secret medicines. Instead, he is thinking of refining them himself, which would not only keep it secret but also save costs.

You can take this opportunity to buy some snake venom in small quantities at multiple times. After all, snake venom is also a precious material for making medicine.

In this way, the materials needed to practice the Seven-Step Poison Sand Palm can basically be gathered.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I don't know how to make medicine!"

Zhou You slapped his forehead. Even if the panel was strengthened and upgraded, there was nothing he could do about the skills he had not yet accessed.

Fortunately, he found out that there was a workshop for making tiger bone paste in the backyard of the martial arts hall, and there were several apprentices helping out there.

He found his senior brother Lu Qiang and expressed his desire to help.

"Well, that's okay too!"

Lu Qiang looked at Zhou You who took the initiative to ask for help, and said, "The workshop can help, but there is one more thing."

"The eldest lady goes out occasionally and needs someone to protect her. The other brothers can't leave, so I'll send you and Li Hao."

Zhou You thought to himself that as expected, Shen Sijing was well-informed and knew the news in advance.

He did not refuse, "Zhou You, I accept your order."

Backyard workshop...

"Brother Xu, are you working here too?"

Zhou You met an acquaintance in the backyard workshop, Brother Xu Yingxu.

"Zhou You, it's great that you can come to the workshop to help. I'm worried that there's no one available."

Xu Ying took Zhou You to visit the workshop, "Come on, you've never seen how tiger bone ointment is made, right?"

After all, tiger bone ointment is the martial arts school's secret medicine. In order to prevent it from leaking out, no outsiders are allowed to come into contact with it.

Only formal apprentices like them, whose identities are tied to the martial arts school, are qualified to access secrets.

"The secret recipe of tiger bone ointment is in the hands of the eldest brother, and we are just helping him."

Apprentices like Xu Ying and Zhou You are responsible for the semi-finished processing of materials on the assembly line.

Only Jinli apprentices can withstand high temperature burns and have the power to crush materials into powder.

"Tiger bone paste is not cheap. Just the materials plus the labor, tsk tsk!"

Zhou You finally understood why a piece of tiger bone plaster was worth 5 taels of silver.

Those who work here are all powerful warriors, and the labor cost is a considerable amount.

According to his observation, the workshop was only responsible for the processing of tiger bone paste, but there was no trace of tiger life-changing pills.

Considering what Xu Ying introduced, the secret recipe of tiger bone ointment is in the hands of the eldest senior brother, and the higher-level tiger life-changing pill, I'm afraid even Lu Qiang doesn't know it, and only the owner of the hall, Wang Jianxiong, knows it.

"You can come with me when I go to buy materials on weekdays."

Xu Ying glanced at the other apprentices and said, "They all came from the manor outside the city and followed Zhong Shaoying. They are not with us."

In a small workshop, members are scheming against each other and dividing into camps.
