The most intelligent general in the world

Zhang Liang had long anticipated the appeal of elixirs, but the fact that so many forces were fighting for them was beyond his expectations. In the final analysis, he still underestimated the world's desire for elixirs and strength.

"Ordinary nobles value elixirs so much. I wonder what Taoism and Yin-Yang School would think about this!" Zhang Liang secretly sighed in his heart, feeling the pressure doubled.

"Maybe they are already on their way to Xinzheng, or have already arrived in Xinzheng city..." Zhang Liang couldn't help but think.

Despite the troubles the elixir brought, Zhang Liang did not regret showing it, and he planned to provide better quality elixirs in the future.

"It seems that I must break through the Tongxuan realm as soon as possible. I can't delay any longer!"

Zhang Liang turned back to the inner courtyard and headed straight for the Zhang family's treasure house. All the precious medicinal materials and elixirs that Situ Wanli had exchanged were stored here.

Zhang Liang identified them one by one and at the same time recalled various elixir recipes.

"This is Seven-Star Grass!" Zhang Liang suddenly discovered with surprise.

Seven Star Grass is the main material for refining Seven Star Pills. One Seven Star Pill is enough to help Zhang Liang break through the Jade Bone Perfection. When the Green Jade Fruit matures, Zhang Liang is confident that he will have a 70% chance of breaking through the Tongxuan in one fell swoop.

"Then let's refine the Seven Star Pill!"

Zhang Liang made a quick decision and immediately began to select auxiliary herbs. There was only one Seven Star Grass, but there were quite a few auxiliary herbs.

“You only have one chance, you must succeed!”

Zhang Liang calmed himself down. The Seven Star Pill was a second-level elixir, far superior to the Blood Qi Pill, Soul Gathering Pill and Healing Pill he had refined before.

Those three kinds of elixirs were just low-level first-grade elixirs, and they didn't even use spiritual herbs as their main ingredients. With Zhang Liang's initial level in alchemy, he could have an almost 100% chance of success.

However, the second-level elixir is called a miraculous elixir, which requires miraculous herbs as the main material, and the difficulty is increased by more than ten times. With Zhang Liang's current alchemy level, the success rate is only 30% at most.

After instructing his servants not to disturb him, Zhang Liang sat cross-legged and calmed himself, carefully adjusting his true energy until it reached the best state. From his eyes, golden fires emerged, gathering in the air to form the shape of a medicine cauldron.

With a wave of his hand, the Seven Star Grass was thrown into the medicine cauldron formed by the fire. After a while, the Seven Star Grass turned into a ball of juice, and Zhang Liang then threw in an auxiliary medicinal material.

Without the alchemy cauldron, Zhang Liang could only make the elixir in this way. Fortunately, although the Lihuo was not the most suitable spiritual fire for alchemy, it was Zhang Liang's magical power and he could control it with ease.

As the medicinal materials were put into the Lihuo Alchemy Cauldron one by one, the spiritual energy in the cauldron rose and the medicinal liquid kept rolling, as if it would burst the cauldron at any time.

"It turns out that your alchemy skills are not good enough and your control over the medicinal properties is too poor!"

Zhang Liang's heart sank, and while controlling the Lihuo, he pinched his fingers and injected the alchemy formula into the spiritual liquid. Whenever the spiritual medicine in the alchemy cauldron was about to explode, he calmed it down little by little.

After performing more than a hundred seals, the spiritual liquid in the alchemy cauldron finally calmed down gradually. It became crystal clear as it rolled, and the spiritual energy was stable and gentle, no longer violent.

"Fortunately, I cooperated with Situ Wanli and used a lot of first-level elixirs to practice, otherwise I might have failed today!"

Zhang Liang was slightly delighted. The most difficult stage had passed. What remained was to balance the medicinal properties and condense the liquid into a pill. This step was much easier than before.

"Seven Star Pill, gather!"

Zhang Liang shouted softly and made a complicated hand seal. The surging true energy turned into a mysterious hand seal and hit the liquid medicine in the alchemy cauldron. Inside the cauldron, the liquid medicine gradually divided into three groups, then slowly condensed, and finally turned into three elixirs that sparkled like stars.

"I succeeded in refining three pills. Although I wasted a lot of spiritual medicine, it was not in vain!"

Zhang Liang smiled lightly and threw one of the pills directly into his mouth.

The pill melted in the mouth, like a warm current flowing straight into the stomach, and surging spiritual energy spread from the abdomen to the whole body.

“Refine!”

Zhang Liang shouted softly, and circulated his true essence with all his strength, refining the surging spiritual energy in his body. His physical body and true essence were both perfect, with nowhere to go, but Zhang Liang's bones were like jade, and there was still a trace of flaw.

A large amount of spiritual energy continued to cleanse Zhang Liang's bones, and the last flaws gradually disappeared.

"boom!"

An unknown amount of time had passed before Zhang Liang felt a roar in his body. His bones vibrated and resonated with his muscles. He felt relaxed and refreshed, with a sense of fulfillment.

"Well, the Ice Skin and Jade Bones are finally complete. Once you step into the Silver Blood Realm, you can enter the Tongxuan Realm!"

Zhang Liang stood up and clenched his hands lightly, with a huge force that seemed to burst the air.

"My physical strength has increased by another 30%. Now, even a mid-stage grandmaster may not be my opponent. Even a late-stage grandmaster, I can still fight!" Zhang Liang said happily.

"Oh, you finally did it. I was almost sleepy just looking at it!"

Suddenly, a clear and tender voice sounded, and Zhang Liang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The voice seemed to be right beside him, but he didn't notice anyone around him, how could he not be startled?

"Don't panic, kid!"

With a light laugh, a figure appeared out of nowhere a foot in front of Zhang Liang.
