I Just Won’t Play By The Book

Chapter 90 Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill

Late at night, Jiang Beiran was sitting in front of the pill furnace. Before he set off, he planned to refine a batch of various types of pills to strengthen his reserves. “Sigh, it’s a pity that I didn’t get the Thunder Lord Charcoal.”

Previously, Zhang Heqing had promised him a batch of Thunder Lord Charcoal if he could convince Order Master Shi to let Zhang Heqing take care of the flowers in Tinglan Waterside Pavilion as well. Unfortunately, Shi Fenglan and Yu Manwen directly rejected Jiang Beiran’s request. They also said that they would not allow the higher-ups of other orders to access the Tinglan Waterside Pavilion as they pleased.

Jiang Beiran originally thought that he had made some contribute. Even though he did not get a continuous supply of Thunder Lord Charcoal, Zhang Heqing should at least get a few of kilograms of them.

However, when Zhang Heqing heard that Jiang Beiran did not complete his task, he reneged on his promise. Jiang Beiran could only curse the stingy Order Master Zhang in his heart.

When the pill furnace was completely heated up, Jiang Beiran was about to put in the medicinal herbs when he heard the sound of a flute coming from below.

When he arrived at the mountainside in an instant, Jiang Beiran found that it was Wu Qingce. After bringing Wu Qingce into the formations, Jiang Beiran asked, “Have you given the antidote to Blood Shadow Beast?”

“Yes.”

“How is your relationship with the Blood Shadow Beast?”

“There’s still no progress…”

“Sigh…”

Seeing his senior brother’s disappointed expression, Wu Qingce quickly explained, “It left right after it took the medicine… I couldn’t stop it, the last time I…”

“Don’t say anymore.” Jiang Beiran raised two fingers. “I’ll give you another two months. If you still can’t subdue the Blood Shadow Beast, I’ll halve the pills for you in the future.”

“Ah?!”

Wu Qingce opened his mouth and saw Jiang Beiran flick his finger, and a spirit pill with a blue glow flew into his mouth.

“Gulp…”

Feeling the spirit pill instantly enter his stomach, Wu Qingce touched his throat and asked, “Brother Jiang, you… Ah! Ah!!!”

With a miserable howl, Wu Qingce’s body twitched and fell to the ground.

“Hang in there. This Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill is particularly good for your body.”

“Tha, tha, tha, than… thank you… Ah!”

Seeing that Wu Qingce was still struggling to bow, Jiang Beiran shook his head and said, “It’s not too late to thank me after you get through

it.”

Therefore, Wu Qingce did not speak anymore. He used his will to resist the hot and numb feeling in his body when he could not even circulate his qi.

After around 10 minutes, Wu Qingce drenched in sweat, used all his strength to sit up and said, “Brother… Brother Jiang, I… I…”

“You absorbed all of it?”

Wu Qingce nodded reluctantly and replied, “I think so. My body is no longer numb.” “Circulate your energy to recuperate.”

“Yes.”

After replying, Wu Qingce struggled to sit cross-legged and took a deep breath. “Cough! Cough! Cough!” Seeing Wu Qingce’s pale face, Jiang Beiran sighed and said, “Your endurance is so bad. I have already reduced the efficacy of the medicine by 70%. How can you still get injure?”

Hearing this, Wu Qingce, who had finally recovered a little, began to cough violently again. “Cough! Cough!? This… this is only 30% … cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!”

“Sigh, you should recover first. You should get a proper rest.” Jiang Beiran shook his head in disappointment.

Five days ago, the Thunder Spirit Flower in the mansion of Jinyao Town had successfully pollinated. After obtaining the flower seed, Jiang Beiran could not wait to begin refining the Thunder Spirit Flower.

This Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill was one of the most successful ones.

However, Jiang Beiran used his mind power to discover that the thunder spiritual essence in the pill was too abundant during the refining process. If he refined a Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill that was full of medicinal strength and let Wu Qingce consume it, Wu Qingce would be blasted to death by the thunder spirit energy released from the pill.

Therefore, Jiang Beiran specially weakened the Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill, so it only produced a pill halo.

Spirit pills were divided into nine tiers. The first three tiers of spirit pills would not produce any abnormal phenomena. Once the pill halo appeared, it meant that the spirit pill had reached tier 4. Tier 4 spirit pill was much stronger than the first three tiers.

And when the spirit pill had the pill pattern, then the spirit pill had already broken through to tier 5. It was a precious medicine that even mystic king level experts would fight for.

Although the Thunder Spirit Flower was an exceptionally good item, it was still a step away from being able to refine tier 5 spirit pill. However, Jiang Beiran’s alchemy skill could make up for this gap.

Unfortunately, while a tier 5 spirit pill was powerful, it also had an extremely high requirement on the physique of the person who consumed it. Otherwise, a person with weaker physique would be severely injured and vomit blood, or in the worst case, explode and die. This was the reason why Jiang Beiran didn’t let Wu Qingce consume a tier 5 Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill.

After waiting for about five minutes, Wu Qingce’s complexion finally recovered. After letting out a long breath of turbid air, he stood up and bowed to Jiang Beiran to the end, saying, “Brother Jiang, I’m grateful of your help!”

“You feel the change in your body?”.

“Yes.” Wu Qingce nodded hard. “Although I’m not sure how big the change is, I can feel that my body is much lighter than before.” “This is the Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill refined from the Thunder Spirit Flower. As the name suggests, the effect is to increase the strength of your body. In the future, the same level moves with thunder spiritual essence won’t have much effect on you. In addition, you could greatly enhance your body’s recovery ability, reaction ability, and speed.”

After saying that, Jiang Beiran took out a small black jade bottle and threw it at Wu Qingce. When Wu Qingce reached out to grab it, Jiang Beiran continued, “This is the Extreme Speed Pill. It’s also refined from the Thunder Spirit Flower. After eating it, your speed will become faster. But remember, you can only eat it alone. If you give this to someone who hasn’t eaten the Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill, his body will instantly collapse.”

“I understand.” Wu Qingce cupped his hands.

“What do you understand?”

When he heard Jiang Beiran’s question, Wu Qingce stunned at first, then he replied, “I understand that I absolutely cannot give this pill to others to eat… Ouch!”

Holding his forehead, Wu Qingce sniffed and asked, “Brother Jiang, please explain.”

“I have told you clearly that if you eat it, you will die. It is more effective than poison. Do you understand now?”

“Oh, I understand, I understand.” Wu Qingce nodded repeatedly.

“Let’s go up.” After bringing Wu Qingce back to purple bamboo garden, Jiang Beiran took a sip of tea and asked, “How much has your cultivation improved over the past month?”

“I’ve spent most of the past month stabilizing my great mystic practitioner’s realm. I haven’t made a breakthrough in my cultivation.” After saying that, Wu Qingce closed his eyes and was prepared to be knocked by Jiang Beiran.

“Hmm, not bad. When you first made a breakthrough, you would only destroy the foundation of your body if you were too hasty. You have finally remembered this point.”

Seeing that not only was he not knocked, but he was also praised by his senior brother, Wu Qingce immediately cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for your praise, Brother Jiang.” “Come, spar with me. Let me see how much your strength has improved after becoming a great mystic practitioner.”

“Ah!?” Wu Qingce looked scare.
