Ignaz took the six long-necked porcelain bottles, and before even opening the stoppers, he could faintly detect a clear fragrance. The spirit power within his body began flowing mysteriously at this moment.
"What kind of pills are these? Why do they give me such a special feeling?"
Yang Wudi didn't rush to answer. Instead, he opened the stopper, and an extremely cold white mist rose from the long-necked porcelain bottle, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.
As the pill was poured into his palm, its full appearance was revealed. The pill was entirely blue and transparent, with a faint layer of white mist surrounding it.
"This—this is a Profound Water Pill, isn't it? You actually managed to create this too."
Hearing this, Yang Wudi slapped his own forehead, suddenly realizing:
"Alliance Leader, Profound Water Pill? How did I not think of that name for this pill?"
Yang Wudi then confidently introduced the pill's properties to Ignaz:
"Alliance Leader, these Profound Water Pills can be said to be my latest achievement in pill refinement. The Profound Water Pill uses two taels of Snow Silkworm as the main ingredient, supplemented with various cold-natured medicinal materials and the essence blood of thirteen different water-type spirit beasts."
"Its specific effects can significantly boost a Spirit Master's spirit power and achieve body tempering effects. However, Spirit Masters only get this beneficial effect when taking the first pill. Taking a second one won't increase spirit power, and the body tempering effect will be greatly diminished."
Hearing these words, Ignaz was filled with amazement. Excellent! He hadn't expected even the effects to be identical. This was simply elevating Spirit Master cultivation to an entirely new level. Why did the phenomenon of Titled Douluo becoming commonplace appear on the continent ten thousand years later? Wasn't it precisely because of the birth of various strange and exotic pills that Spirit Masters achieved through drug enhancement?
"Alliance Leader, this Profound Water Pill also has one typical side effect: after absorption, one must bathe immediately, or the user will become extremely smelly. I call this phenomenon 'impurity expulsion manifestation.'"
Hearing this, Ignaz was even more certain this was indeed the Profound Water Pill—even the side effects were identical. The Profound Water Pill could be said to be a brilliant gem in the pill world ten thousand years later. Just the fact that its detoxification had no side effects surpassed the vast majority of pills.
"Have you tested the medicinal effects on spirit beasts?"
"Yes, even humans can consume it without any unknown complications."
Yang Wudi had tested it on both Azure Blue Mice and Ten Thousand Day Iron Pigs, two types of spirit beasts, without any adverse drug reactions.
"Good, very good."
Ignaz picked up the Profound Water Pill from Yang Wudi's palm and swallowed it in one gulp. A cold medicinal power quickly spread through his body and gradually became burning hot, stimulating every part of his body.
In no time at all, Ignaz suddenly awakened from his cultivation state, and his body showed no side effects whatsoever—not even a single drop of black impurity was visible.
"Alliance Leader, your physical constitution is simply too strong! The Profound Water Pill's body tempering effect has no impact on you. But Alliance Leader, has your spirit power increased?"
"Indeed it has increased, but my spirit power level still hasn't changed at all."
Hearing this, Yang Wudi was even more astonished by Ignaz. According to his calculations, Ignaz at the Spirit King level should have gained at least one level after taking the pill. But unexpectedly, there was no obvious spirit power increase. This phenomenon could only mean that Ignaz's overall strength was even stronger than he had imagined—the Profound Water Pill's medicinal effects had almost no impact on him.
"Senior, at the current refining speed, how long would it take to produce one bottle?"
Faced with Ignaz's question, Yang Wudi remained very confident:
"Alliance Leader, based on my current proficiency in making Profound Water Pills, the fastest is twelve days per batch, with three pills per batch. If most clan members engage in systematic production, the pill output would increase at least tenfold."
"However, the corresponding medicinal materials and spirit beast essence blood will be continuously consumed, indirectly affecting production efficiency. Right now, we don't have much Whale Rubber left for fusing cold medicinal properties."
Regarding the Whale Rubber matter, Ignaz made a decisive decision:
"The Whale Rubber issue can be resolved by asking grandfather for help. With his Titled Douluo speed, it would take at most two days from Vast Sea City to the Breaking Clan."
"Ah? Ask Brother Dugu to make purchases? He's a Titled Douluo—wouldn't this be somewhat beneath his dignity?"
Yang Wudi couldn't even dare to imagine Ignaz's suggestion. Having a Titled Douluo run errands was practically no different from wasteful behavior.
Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard:
"Haha, you brat, are you talking behind my back again?"
The voice drew nearer, and Dugu Bo pushed through the door. Upon sensing the medicinal power emanating from the long-necked porcelain bottle, his attention was completely drawn to the bottle, and he inquired aloud:
"Brother Yang, what's inside this bottle? Could it be a new type of poison you've personally developed?"
"No, this is..."
Yang Wudi gave Dugu Bo a brief introduction to the Profound Water Pill's properties in the most concise terms, and also mentioned the lack of Whale Rubber.
"You're saying this pill can increase spirit power and temper a Spirit Master's constitution, with no side effects, but you're unable to mass-produce it due to lack of Whale Rubber? This—this isn't really a difficult matter!"
Hearing this, Ignaz didn't show courtesy just because Dugu Bo was an elder, and instead persuaded:
"Grandfather, why don't you make a trip to Vast Sea City and some large coastal cities to purchase more Whale Rubber? Let's get the first batch of Profound Water Pills refined first."
"With your current Titled Douluo speed, a round trip would be very quick anyway."
Dugu Bo was somewhat resentful about this: "I'm a dignified Titled Douluo, and you brat are actually treating me like an errand boy. What do you take me for? Don't you understand respecting your elders?"
"Grandfather, desperate times call for desperate measures, right? We need to refine one to two hundred Profound Water Pills before the Spirit Master Tournament begins—better safe than sorry. Besides, Whale Rubber has another special function: it can help Spirit Masters continuously temper their bodies like the Profound Water Pill, ultimately achieving the conditions for cross-level spirit ring absorption."
Upon hearing the first half, Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi remained relatively calm, but when they heard about cross-level spirit ring absorption, they could no longer stay composed. Cross-level spirit ring absorption was truly an epoch-making milestone event for Spirit Masters.
"Consuming Whale Rubber to strengthen the body can actually enable cross-level spirit ring absorption? You're not making this up, are you?"
"How could I possibly lie to you two? If you don't believe it, I have a simple way to prove the possibility of cross-level absorption to you both."
Hearing this, both men became even more puzzled:
"???"
