Chapter 229: Chapter 128: Three Months Have Passed, Why Aren’t They Dead Yet? The Liang Family Clashes with the Luo Family_2
He pulled up ten blood-red grasses that had grown the best, then turned around and left the small courtyard a hundred meters beneath the ground, the space shrouded in mystery.
…
In the courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion.
Luo Changfeng sipped the tea in his hand while silently contemplating how to neutralize the crazing mysterious energy within the blood-red grasses.
The approach was still the same.
Since that substance could drive people mad,
he naturally had to add some spiritual medicine that could soothe and calm the mind.
Only, the types of spiritual medicines that could calm the mind were far too numerous.
What exactly should he add to eliminate or completely neutralize that madness-inducing mysterious energy and leave behind only that terrifying and vast Qi-Blood Force?
While pondering, Luo Changfeng unintentionally finished the tea in his hand.
“Forget it, I’ll just try each one when the time comes…”
he muttered softly.
Afterward, he stood up and left the Stone Pavilion,
walking toward the direction of a Yellow Grade lower-tier Alchemy Furnace.
Conveniently, when he dealt with Luo Qingshan’s issue before, he had collected quite a few spiritual medicines that could still and focus the mind.
He decided to test the effects of these spiritual medicines he had on him first.
If they worked, that would be cause for celebration.
If they didn’t, he would consider the problem more slowly in the future.
…
In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed.
During these three days,
Luo Changfeng had spent most of his time within his own courtyard,
researching the method of concocting the Qi-Blood Elixir.
Indeed, the Qi-Blood Elixir.
He had named it himself.
The Blood Replenishing Pill was used to replenish Qi and blood.
The Body Tempering Elixir was for tempering the physical body, thereby increasing one’s strength.
As for the Qi-Blood Elixir, it used the blood-red grasses as the main ingredient and was then paired with some spiritual medicine that could still and focus the mind,
to create a brand-new type of elixir that directly boosts one’s cultivation with a massive amount of Qi-Blood Force.
This elixir was infinitely more valuable than the Body Tempering Elixir.
Not only was the speed and efficiency of cultivation improvement many times higher than that of the Body Tempering Elixir,
but more importantly, one did not have to endure the pain of tempering the physical body when consuming this substance.
Thus, with such an elixir,
if it were to hit the market, it would inevitably be met with frenzied rush by countless individuals.
However, even if Luo Changfeng were to truly concoct the Qi-Blood Elixir,
he would not bring it to the market in the short term.
Having managed to survive until now and develop the Luo Family to this extent, he was no fool.
He had a tight grasp of what to release and when.
If his cultivation had already reached the realm of Mortal Transcendence, above that of an Immortal, that would be another matter.
But if he dared to bring out this cultivation-boosting, painless Qi-Blood Elixir while still in the mortal realm, and even sold it in the market,
even though he was the current Sect Master of the Wan Dan Sect’s Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect,
he would still be targeted by countless pairs of eyes.
He might very well mysteriously vanish from this world, which was within the realm of possibility.
…
“Another failure?”
In a secretive courtyard on the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
Luo Changfeng, who was beside a Yellow Grade lower-tier Furnace Cauldron,
frowned slightly as he silently watched the Alchemy Furnace before him emitting billows of black smoke.
With a hint of helplessness, he shook his head,
and with a flick of his wrist, cleared all the residue from the Alchemy Furnace,
then walked silently to the edge of the Stone Pavilion.
“Three days’ time, over thirty kinds of spiritual medicines, all failed.”
“Is it because the medicines are mutually incompatible, or is it…”
“that the grade of these spiritual medicines is too low?”
“Is that why the concoction of the Qi-Blood Elixir has failed?”
After some thought, Luo Changfeng still couldn’t find a satisfying answer to his questions.
…
In a flash, several more days had passed.
At the border between Huai Shui County and Qingqu County.
At this moment, a massive army exceeding five hundred thousand troops was amassed here.
Of those hundreds of thousands, the Qingqu County Liang Family contributed over two hundred thousand elite armored warriors,
while the rest comprised the Allied Forces of the Luo and Lu Families.
In this period, both sides were locked in a stalemate.
Minor skirmishes occurred two or three times a day, with major battles breaking out every three to five days.
This ongoing situation greatly exasperated the Liang Family of Qingqu County.
The Liang Family had considered raising the white flag.
Or perhaps reaching a peaceful settlement.
But the Luo Family of Huai Shui County was indeed too oppressive.
Just look at the demands of the Luo Family.
Are they really intending to reconcile with a handshake?
So, for the sake of the family’s honor,
as well as to maintain the status of Qingqu County within the entire Luo Mountain Prefecture,
the Liang Family clenched their teeth and continued to bitterly contest the Luo Family of Huai Shui County.
But while it was a bitter contest,
the food reserves of the Liang Family of Qingqu County were ultimately limited.
While the armed forces of the Liang Family faced no problems,
after such prolonged warfare, the food reserves had plummeted to dangerous levels.
Originally, the Liang Family of Qingqu County imagined that with the pretext provided by the Luo Family, they could directly attack the Luo Family of Huai Shui County,
then take over the lands of both Huai Shui and Qingqu Counties,
gradually engulfing the neighboring territories.
However, they ended up at an impasse with the Luo Family before even having a chance to swallow them up.
Who could have foreseen such an outcome?
