The Martial Doctor

Mei’Er and Fei’Er, Miaoxue and Yuyao, the sisters Lianxin and Liansuo, Liuli...

Feeling the improving power within his body, along with fully restored energy, he felt that even if he went through another morning exercise now, there would be no problem at all.

Thinking about it, he decided to let it go. There were still many things to attend to today, and he needed to return to the city. The medical hall was about to open, and he couldn’t possibly skip work on the first day; that would be too unprofessional.

"This is the array and attack elements of the Three Talents Array. You three can practice more during your free time. When the three of you work together, the power multiplies."

"Understood, you and Daniangzi can rest assured as you return. We’re here, and we’ll keep a constant eye on Xue Family Manor." Si Miaoxue put away the array diagram.

"Mr. Dongguo, try refining this elixir recipe and see if you can come up with anything." Lin Miao handed Dongguo Sun a recipe; it was the secret recipe for the Great Returning Elixir from Shaolin Temple, which he had heard about from others back in the day.

He had never refined this elixir himself, nor did he know if the recipe was genuine. Luckily, he could afford this loss now, so even if the recipe wasn’t correct and he couldn’t produce the Great Returning Elixir, it wouldn’t matter much.

However, if he really managed to produce the Great Returning Elixir, it would be different. At the very least, the Great Returning Elixir is highly effective in treating internal injuries of Martial Artists.

"Where did you get this recipe? Could it be that your master gave it to you?" Dongguo Sun’s hands trembled with excitement. Even the Elixir Saint of yesteryears only possessed a few dozen recipes, all of which were top secrets.

Although the ancestor of Huichun Valley, Ding Yi, was a disciple of the Elixir Saint, he only mastered about ten recipes, with the Rejuvenation Pill being the most famous.

"Unexpectedly obtained, it has nothing to do with my master." Lin Miao explained casually.

"Oh, then I’ll give it a try." Upon hearing this, Dongguo Sun’s sigh of relief was palpable. Recipes without proper provenance were often full of deceit. When the Elixir Alliance was at its peak, many recipes surfaced but were eventually proven to be false.

The ones that truly stood the test of time were those few dozen, difficult to add or subtract even a bit.

However, with the passing of the Elixir Saint and the downfall of the Elixir Alliance, these recipes gradually vanished. Even the recipes from Huichun Valley were reduced to only three, the Rejuvenation, Beauty, and Yijin Elixirs.

The Rejuvenation Pill is meant for healing, while the Beauty Pill, as the name suggests, maintains one’s appearance permanently. But essentially, it’s just a detoxifying elixir; once the body’s toxins are expelled, one naturally appears younger, especially for ordinary people, the effects are swift.

As for the Yijin Elixir, it might as well be called the Yijin Pill instead; it allows Martial Artists to quickly train their muscles and bones from the inside out. The effect isn’t bad, but compared to a medicinal bath, the cost-effectiveness is too low!

Moreover, if used carelessly and consumed in excess, it can damage the internal organs. A medicinal bath is far gentler since what’s ingested is difficult to expel, but with a medicinal bath, it can be stopped anytime if it becomes unbearable.

The only one with some value is the Rejuvenation Pill, but even with the recipe, Dongguo Sun has yet to successfully refine it.

Even with the Celestial Fire Furnace, it was no use; he couldn’t pinpoint the problem. Frankly, even if his master were alive, success might still be uncertain.

Apart from Huichun Valley, there’s also the remnant of the Elixir Alliance—an organization now called the Carefree Palace, known for Carefree Powder and Carefree Elixir which gained them notoriety.

There’s also the Medicine King Sect, possessing a few elixir recipes. The elixirs circulating in the market today are either from the Carefree Palace or the Medicine King Sect.

During the crusade against the Elixir Alliance and the subsequent downfall of Huichun Valley, the Medicine King Sect acquired a large portion of the Elixir Alliance’s heritage, including Alchemy Furnaces, various precious alchemy manuals, and recipes.

However, acquiring them doesn’t guarantee mastery. Over the past century, although the Medicine King Sect has managed to refine some elixirs, it pales compared to the Elixir Alliance in its prime. As for the Carefree Palace, they might excel more in alchemy than the Medicine King Sect, but the output is limited, and each elixir is exorbitantly priced.

Blood Melting Elixirs and Meridian Opening Powders, along with the healing Dragon and Tiger Golden Elixir, are always in high demand.

If Dongguo Sun could finally produce the Rejuvenation Pill, Lin Miao could then hold enviable wealth and power from it.
