Jiang Han clenched his fist and exerted a little force, causing the entire secret chamber to rumble immediately, which startled him into stopping his actions. He certainly didn't want to bury himself here! However, he had roughly tested that his physical strength had increased at least fivefold! This was a terrifying leap!
He secretly speculated that with just his physical strength, ordinary Fusion Realm practitioners would not dare to engage him in close combat! At the same time, he also clearly felt that his True Qi cultivation had similarly made a significant leap, breaking through to a new minor level. If previously his True Qi cultivation was merely at the peak of the mid-stage of Fusion, then now he had undoubtedly entered the late stage of Fusion Realm.
This was an extremely frightening increase. Generally speaking, when one reaches the Fusion Realm level of cultivation, it is all about painstaking effort. Without two or three decades of hard work, one could forget about achieving a minor realm breakthrough in Fusion Realm!
Therefore, the opportunity for Skill Synthesis was like a great fortune for him! Even an ordinary Eighth-Rank Elixir couldn't match this effect. In fact, the main period for elixirs to take effect is during the postnatal and Innate realms. Taking elixirs in moderation can help low-level martial artists quickly complete realm breakthroughs and enhance their foundation.
However, once one steps into the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, relying on elixirs for breakthroughs becomes extremely difficult. Fourth-Rank elixirs hardly produce any effect; no matter how many are consumed, it is like "a cow chewing peony."
Therefore, the elixirs that are helpful for the Martial Arts Grandmaster are mostly ranked above Sixth Rank. Essentially, the higher the rank, the less effective the elixirs become. This is because for high-level martial artists, the key to breakthroughs lies in their understanding of the world and themselves; the assistance that elixirs can provide is quite limited.
Manichaeism is indeed a major sect, but in reality? There are no shortages of formulas for Fifth Rank elixirs, with over two hundred available, yet there are only two formulas for Sixth Rank elixirs. As for Seventh Rank...
Jiang Han estimates that the rank of Black Jade Reattachment Ointment should be Seventh Rank, or even possibly Eighth Rank. He remembers that Baghdad Zen Master once mentioned that even the version of Black Jade Reattachment Ointment passed down from the Vajra Sect was merely a low-tier version. It seems that the ancestors of the Vajra Sect also faced the same dilemma: finding medicinal materials is incredibly difficult!
Over time, many ancient spiritual materials and precious medicines have become extinct. Even with great effort, it is impossible to find the materials recorded in the formulas.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader," Jiang Han had just emerged from seclusion when Yang Xiao hurriedly entered, his face filled with joy. "Congratulations, Sect Leader! It is said that news has just come from Pharmacy Hall that Master Hu has successfully developed the Black Jade Reattachment Ointment!"
Jiang Han raised an eyebrow in delight and said, "Quickly summon Hu Qingniu!"
This secret medicine, Black Jade Reattachment Ointment, has been studied by the Vajra Sect for hundreds of years without yielding any results. Even if they attempted to replicate it, they could only produce some Second or Third Rank healing medicines, which are as unsatisfactory as chicken ribs—flavorless yet regrettable to discard.
After all these years, nearly all of the ancestral Black Jade Reattachment Ointment has been consumed!
"Greetings, Master!"
Hu Qingniu still had that arrogant demeanor, his eyebrows twitching slightly, clearly in a good mood. Just as he was about to pay his respects, Jiang Han waved him off and got straight to the point: "I heard you have developed the Black Jade Reattachment Ointment?"
He didn't dare to hope for immediate mass production of the Black Jade Reattachment Ointment, but at least there was something to look forward to, right? For a long time, holding onto the formula for the Black Jade Reattachment Ointment felt like guarding a treasure mountain while being unable to obtain even a tiny bit of it. The feeling was unbearable.
Hu Qingniu suppressed his smug expression, slightly cupped his hands, and hesitantly said, "It's somewhat of a breakthrough, but there's still quite a way to go before it's fully developed." He cautiously glanced at Jiang Han and, seeing no signs of anger, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He discreetly wiped away nonexistent sweat from his forehead with his wide sleeves before continuing, "The current version of the Black Jade Reattachment Ointment is still just a low-tier version. However, its quality is sufficient to match the healing effects of a Sixth Rank healing pill."
There are only two Sixth Rank pill formulas within the Manichaeism; now being able to add another one undoubtedly enhances the foundation of Manichaeism.
Jiang Han's cultivation breakthrough brought him great joy upon hearing this good news. "Not bad; your contributions are evident to all. In such a short time, you managed to research a formula equivalent to a Sixth Rank healing pill. Truly worthy of the title 'Butterfly Valley Healer.'"
Hu Qingniu is exceptionally talented in the field of medicine and alchemy, and his loyalty to Manichaeism is beyond reproach!
His medical skills are among the best in the entire Zongwu World, but he has one principle: he never saves those who are not from Manichaeism. Therefore, those who seek his help and are turned away refer to him as "seeing death and not saving."
In the original story, this genius died at the hands of Golden Flower Granny, also known as Manichaeism's Purple Robe Dragon King Dai Qisi, which made Jiang Han feel quite regretful.
"Is the medicinal material used in the Black Jade Reattachment Ointment developed by Pharmacy Hall rare?"
Since many medicinal materials have long been extinct, alternative materials are essential, which is why Jiang Han asked this question.
Sixth Rank elixirs are considered quite good even in the entire Zongwu World; even some second or third-rate sects might spend all their resources and still not be able to acquire a few Sixth Rank elixirs.
Hu Qingniu, who usually has a cold demeanor, made an effort to squeeze out a smile and said coldly, "The medicinal materials are not scarce; the cost is even comparable to that of Fourth Rank elixirs."
With this reassurance, Jiang Han felt relieved.
With a wave of his sleeve, he declared, "From today onward, Pharmacy Hall will double in size, still under your leadership. At the same time, whenever you develop a Seventh Rank formula, you will be promoted to Grand Elder, with status comparable to that of the Grandmaster of Martial Arts!"
