Chapter 364: The Secret of Refining Medicine

When Zuo Feng appeared in front of Kang Zhen, even this person who had always believed that Zuo Feng could get through the difficulties safely showed a look of disbelief. After a long while, he excitedly slapped Zuo Feng's shoulder with his palm.

When Kang Zhen's palm slapped Zuo Feng's shoulder, Zuo Feng's eyebrows slightly raised. Such a subtle movement was not noticed by others, and with Kang Zhen's eyesight, how could he miss it.

He immediately remembered something, turned his head and said loudly to the group of people around him: "Everyone, disperse. We still have to prepare for landing in a while. Go and do what you need to do."

As soon as these words came out, the people who were excited to watch around immediately dispersed.

Seeing Kang Zhen dismissing everyone around, Zuo Feng did not say much, but turned back to glance at the crowd. Just then, he saw the young man named Kang Qi, who looked up and down at Zuo Feng with a trace of resentment in his eyes, as if he was ready to see through Zuo Feng completely.

Zuo Feng calmly withdrew his gaze, pretending that he had not noticed him at all, and slowly said: "Uncle Kang, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why don't we chat quietly for a while, so that I can tell you about my refining of the body-casting pills these days."

Kang Zhen smiled and nodded, saying: "It just so happens that I also want to ask about your affairs. You haven't made any movement for so many days, which really made me worried for a while. But seeing that you have recovered so well now, I can rest assured a little."

As he said, he took Zuo Feng to his room first, and did not forget to turn around and say, "Xiao Yan, prepare some wine and food and send them to my room. Tell others not to disturb me, I want to hear what happened to Brother Shen these days."

Zuo Feng heard Su Yan's answer from the dispersed crowd. Although she sounded a little unhappy, she agreed happily. I think Su Yan must be in a hurry to prepare, and will go to the city with others to get off the boat later.

After Zuo Feng left his cabin, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the ship, but the warrior in charge of the guard reacted quickly and immediately went to inform Kang Zhen of the news.

Kang Zhen came in a hurry, but after seeing that Zuo Feng was not seriously injured, he was a little relieved and pulled Zuo Feng straight to his room.

"Your injuries have not improved?"

"What's the matter with the body-casting pill?"

Zuo Feng and Kang Zhen spoke almost at the same time after entering the room. Kang Zhen noticed that Zuo Feng's expression was slightly different when he patted Zuo Feng's shoulder just now, and Zuo Feng was eager to know some of the previous questions, especially why they had to force them together when there were three body-casting pills.

The two spoke at the same time, but found that the other party also had questions that they were eager to know. After a moment of silence, they laughed at the same time. Although Zuo Feng was suspicious of the body-casting pill, he was sure that Kang Zhen had nothing to do with this matter. He just guessed that Kang Zhen should know something.

Kang Zhen was also very surprised. Although Zuo Feng absorbed and refined the body-casting pill, the injuries on his body still existed, which made him feel surprised and anxious.

Both of them spoke in such a tacit understanding, and then laughed at the same time. An atmosphere of mutual understanding permeated the cabin.

After a while, Zuo Feng took the lead and said, "Is there anything wrong with Uncle Kang's body-casting pill? I saw you hesitated before, so you must have something to hide. After I took the body-casting pill, I found that it was actually three body-casting pills, which were deliberately mixed together, not accidentally fused, so the drug power was divided into three streams and made me miserable.

Fortunately, my skills are somewhat special, and the process of refining the medicine is relatively smooth, so the effect of the body-casting pill on transforming the body has been achieved, but the damage to the body is still being repaired. I can't say whether my current situation is good or bad."

After Zuo Feng said all this in one breath, he looked up at Kang Zhen. When Kang Zhen first heard it, his expression changed slightly, and then he snorted in anger. It was not until he finished listening to Zuo Feng's narration that he looked at Zuo Feng in surprise.

He was born in a family of alchemists, and he had a certain understanding of refining and chemical medicine. Although he had not tried the consequences of taking three body-building pills at the same time, he could understand it as long as he used his imagination. Most people would never be able to hold on. Even the three-part destruction of various parts of the body would probably directly cost the warrior's life.

With his wide knowledge, he had never heard of such a powerful technique, but Kunxuan Continent was vast and rich in resources, so it was not surprising that there was such a magical technique. But in fact, Zuo Feng's technique was not just special. His technique and body were both unique on the continent.

Kang Zhen did not show any sign of misrepresentation in what Zuo Feng said, so after listening to Zuo Feng's story, Kang Zhen hesitated for a while before saying with some depression: "I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I have personally seen the refining method of this body-casting pill, and I have always assisted during the refining process, so I didn't expect something like this to happen."

Kang Zhen looked up at Zuo Feng and continued, "I was a little hesitant when I gave you the Body-Forging Pill, but as I said, any accident could happen during the process of refining medicine, so although I had doubts, I had no evidence, so I didn't express my doubts when I gave you the Body-Forging Pill."

Kang Zhen's thoughts were not clear, but Zuo Feng could vaguely sense the contradiction in Kang Zhen's heart. However, this also confirmed that Kang Zhen did not deliberately deal with him, so he was naturally more curious about what Kang Zhen said. Just when he opened his mouth to ask, Kang Zhen continued to speak.

"The first time you insisted on keeping the Body Casting Pill and trying to take it, I hesitated but did not strongly oppose it. But just after I left, I wanted to find the elder to ask again, but I found that Kang Qi hurried out of his room, which aroused my greater suspicion.

But I still asked for some methods to prevent the spread of the medicine and try to save me, and then I hurried to find you.

At that time, I broke in without even knocking on the door, just because I was afraid that you had taken the Body Casting Pill. But similarly, I didn't have any evidence, I just felt that there was something wrong with the Body Casting Pill, so I tried my best to stop you from taking it, but in the end you were still determined to take the Body Casting Pill. I can only hope that you can refine the pill safely. You don't know how worried I have been these days, and how much I regret not being able to stop you from taking the medicine."

Zuo Feng listened to what Kang Zhen said with a frown, and finally made him understand why Kang Zhen rushed back in a hurry for the second time and tried his best to stop himself from taking the Body Casting Pill. Because Kang Zhen's hesitant look at that time made Zuo Feng feel very awkward.

Zuo Feng was born with a stubborn personality. The more Kang Zhen was afraid to tell him the truth, the more Zuo Feng felt that there was something wrong. 'Since you don't tell me everything honestly, you stopped me from taking the medicine, but I just wanted to take the medicine for you to see. '

At that time, Zuo Feng actually took the body-casting pill with such a mentality in his heart. Of course, Zuo Feng also had other reasons for taking the body-casting pill, so all these combined made him not listen to Kang Zhen's dissuasion at all.

Now things have gradually become clear. Kang Zhen and Zuo Feng both found that the problem pointed to one person, the elder in charge of refining medicine in the Kang family.

Zuo Feng said with a serious expression: "Who is the elder in charge of refining the body-casting pill in your Kang family?"

"He is the third elder of the Kang family, Kang Xiaoshan."

Kang Zhen said without hesitation, and Zuo Feng silently repeated the name "Kang Xiaoshan" in a low voice. When Kang Zhen mentioned the third elder, Zuo Feng's eyes flickered slightly, because he was now almost certain that the third elder was playing tricks.

Originally, Zuo Feng had some doubts about the person who made the medicine, because when he took the body-casting pill, he found that the body-casting pill was actually made into three pills, and then someone deliberately mixed them into one.

Zuo Feng also heard about this method of deliberately mixing pills into one in some books. Generally, only those high-level alchemists will practice such a method, and the purpose is to be able to monopolize some benefits.

It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to train a high-level alchemist, which is something that ordinary small families cannot afford. Only some huge forces and super families have the ability to train them. Such high-level pharmacists naturally have to serve their families and families after they are trained, and it will be difficult for them to get some benefits for themselves.

I don’t know how long ago, a high-level pharmacist discovered a method, which is to mix the refined pills or elixirs together through some special means. In this way, the family thought that he only successfully refined one pill, but in fact he paid two or three pills at a time, and then he quietly collected certain benefits from the buyer.

In this way, the family would not know the benefits of the other two pills, and they would fall into the pocket of the pharmacist at a cheaper price.

Zuo Feng had already guessed it. When he heard Kang Zhen say that Kang Qi had secretly met the person who made the medicine, he had already vaguely guessed that the person who made the medicine was the third elder.

Now that Kang Zhen confirmed it himself, everything became clear. The third elder did make some moves when refining the body-casting pill. His purpose was not necessarily to harm Zuo Feng, but to make the pill look like a failure in refining.

The three solutions Kang Zhen gave before were believed to have been proposed by the third elder at the beginning, with the purpose of letting Zuo Feng choose the first two. At that time, no matter whether Zuo Feng chose to find a way to separate the pills after going to the Kang family, or he slowly processed the body-casting pills on the boat. In the end, Zuo Feng could only get one body-casting pill, and it was the one with the most serious loss of medicinal power.

Zuo Feng didn't know whether Kang Qi could get one body-casting pill, but two of them would definitely fall into the pocket of the third elder Kang Xiaoshan.
