Chapter 85 Ghost Body and Ghost Blood Pill

When Xianggui officially ascended the throne of the mountain god, the road to hell filled with blood and evil spirits began to recede at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only shallow traces and dark red soil.

This is very magical. The mountain god is Hibiki, but Hibiki is a member of the ghost clan. Her power actually showed sacred attributes after Maki's Kagura Dance ceremony. Although it was not purification, it was able to suppress and seal the road to hell that killed thousands of people. I don't know if it's because the shrine maiden is powerful, or because the Japanese cannot distinguish between ghosts and gods.

Next was Yan Xu’s change. Just like the divine attack and divine power of the Guandi Temple, he also gained a benefit from the mountain shrine, which was the ghost body.

It's not about turning into a ghost, nor does it involve bloodline, but the physical condition gradually approaches that of a ghost. To put it simply, it's about being born with supernatural powers and iron skin and bones.

Although they are also in human form, ghosts' skeletons are much thicker and stronger than humans', and their bone marrow has a stronger ability to produce blood, which can transport more nutrients, giving ghosts a strong physique. From developed muscles to digestion, endurance, self-healing and other aspects, ghosts are far superior to humans. It is no exaggeration to say that they are human-shaped beasts.

You have to know that at the same weight, humans are far inferior to wild beasts, at least that's the case for ordinary people. Those who are born with supernatural powers are exceptions, otherwise the story of Wu Song fighting the tiger would not have been passed down to this day.

Unfortunately, just like the divine power of a god, the ghost body is not formed right away. Yan Xu needs to train and fight continuously to accelerate the transformation of his physique through external stimulation. However, the effect of training is average, and the stimulation of fighting is faster. After all, he has the physique of a ghost, and he is a human being. It is impossible for him to achieve this by eating and drinking like Xiang Gui.

What's more, after seeing Xianggui's new image, Yan Xu understood something, because he thought of two bloodlines that were so perverted that they could not be classified as human, the Wu family and the Fanma family.

Therefore, combat evolution and the like are definitely normal ways of doing things.

The temple was upgraded, and not only the two priestesses were happy, but Yan Xu was also very happy. After handing over the rest of the matters to Sen Ya, he came to the hot spring area, intending to try out the new skills to see how effective they were.

However, some things needed to be prepared in advance in case of accidents, so he called Mori Yu and Hui Ruomaru, the two women he trusted the most.

Compared with men, women have smaller ambitions, are less valued, and are more willing to rely on the strong, so Yan Xu trusts them more, and with special training, their loyalty is already considerable.

After lighting the stove he brought, Mori Yu began to concentrate on boiling the medicine, while Hui Ruomaru was alert to the movements around him to prevent anyone from disturbing his lord who was preparing to practice.

The medicine that Sen Yujian prepared was based on the recipe of ginseng pills, except that it was changed from pills to decoction.

This was specially prepared by Yan Xu when he went to the provincial capital to find an old Chinese doctor. As for the problem of the recipe being leaked, haha, what the modern world lacks is never the recipe, but the cost. Do you really think the prescription in his hand is a rare thing? There are so many good things left by our ancestors, and his is not a big deal.

In modern times, even if it is the formula of an elixir, after deducting 90% of the cost and adding ten layers of water, it can only be used as a health product, just like the once popular Brain Gold.

However, the old Chinese doctor that Yan Xu invited with a piece of old wild ginseng was really capable. After looking at the recipe, he did not recommend making it into pills, but instead changed it into a decoction. This not only saves steps, but also allows for faster absorption and better effects.

Although it was troublesome, it was no problem for Yan Xu because someone was specially preparing medicine for him.

As for why Yan Xu went to the modern world to prepare medicine, it was mainly because he was frightened by the red blood pill prepared here.

In fact, the two kinds of elixirs that Yan Xu requested had already been prepared, especially the Red Blood Pill. They had even completed multiple rounds of testing using the Ronin elite soldiers and the Tachi team as test subjects, so he didn't dare to use it.

The Red Blood Pill is not a simple stimulant, otherwise how could it become a secret medicine in the palace? You have to know that whoever can become a palace guard does not have some connections. If you dare to give them banned drugs, I am afraid they will die in an ugly way.

Therefore, the essence of Red Blood Pill is a very clever auxiliary prescription that can stimulate the human body to develop potential in all aspects, and it lasts longer and has better training effects. The only drawback is that the human body cannot withstand this kind of consumption.

If you live in a wealthy family, with medicated food, medicated baths, acupuncture and massage, you can reduce the side effects by 70% to 80%. It is quite worthwhile to exchange this price for strength.

Unfortunately, even the emperor would not spend too many resources on the palace guards, and the several kinds of secret palace medicines they were given were more of a reward than a welfare benefit.

This leads to early death if you eat too much, and eating less is meaningless and soon becomes a useless thing and is put on the shelf.

Fujigen among the Forest Ninjas was well versed in the properties of medicines, and after receiving the task from his master, he devoted himself to studying the recipe of the elixir. However, the Red Blood Pill was too complicated. After all, it stimulated the human body's potential in almost all aspects, which was something that only ordinary doctors could do. Therefore, he spent a lot of energy and could only exert the effectiveness of the original sixth level at most, and it would also accumulate toxins that were difficult to eliminate.

So he took a shortcut and created a red blood pill with stronger stimulation and greater side effects, and named it Ghost Blood Pill.

The Ghost Blood Pill can allow the user to enter the state faster and achieve better training results, but after the drug takes effect, the user will become exhausted and must eat a large amount of nutritious, high-calorie food to restore physical strength, which is something that most forces cannot provide.
Rice is eaten as a tonic, not to mention being eaten to fill your stomach and feel well fed.

However, the canned food that Yan Xu brought made up for this very well, so it has been decided to use it every other day for a maximum of one year.

As for whether there are any side effects, there definitely are, otherwise Yan Xu would have used it himself long ago.

The demon blood pill modified by Fujigen was added with a certain plant toxin, which would make people enter a state of excitement. Even if they were fatally injured, they could still fight selflessly until death. It was used as a tool by the forest ninjas in desperate situations.

After adding a small amount, the Red Blood Pill becomes the more effective Ghost Blood Pill, but it also causes greater damage to the body, and this damage is irreversible.

It is okay if taken short-term, only two or three months, and the side effects are still within the tolerable range. However, if taken long-term, for example for a year, the chance of sudden death after the age of 25 increases year by year, and it is almost impossible to live to the age of 40.

Teng Gen told Yan Xu about this matter secretly, intending to keep it secret.

But Yan Xu disagreed. He had clearly paid a price for his life, so there was no need for him to cheat, not to mention that such a thing would be exposed sooner or later.

But after knowing the truth, neither the ronin elite soldiers nor the katana team cared much about it.

Survival is difficult enough, and the situation faced by the Ronin elite soldiers and the Tachi team is even more cruel, because they really have to fight for their lives, so let alone not knowing the sequelae, even if they knew, they would not care, because they first have to live until that time before they can consider the problem of sequelae.

Therefore, the Ghost Blood Pill was not only not despised, but was treated as a holy object by them. Every time they took it, they would thank Guiwan Yamashiro, which made Yan Xu feel quite embarrassed. He could only say, "Come on, work hard to become stronger, and kill more devils for him."

Thanks to the quick-death version of Ghost Blood Pill developed by Teng Gen, Yan Xu didn't dare let him touch the Ginseng Pill at all. God knows what kind of improved version he would develop. Instead, he went to the provincial capital in the modern world to find an old Chinese doctor to help prepare it. At least this medicine is safer to take.
