Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 540 Strength

Seeing the shocked expression on Xu Yao's face, a hint of pride flashed in the eyes of the pharmacy owner.

This pill has an incredibly powerful effect.

If this elixir weren't so incredibly precious, he wouldn't have given up the decades of hard work he had put into cultivating it and the enormous sums he had spent to acquire such a valuable treasure.

"However, although this kind of pill has incredible effects, it is extremely difficult to improve one's strength."

"Generally speaking, a martial artist who takes this kind of pill can only break through to the warrior level at most."

"It is almost impossible to advance from the warrior level to the Martial Grandmaster level unless one takes a pill."

Upon hearing the pharmacy owner's words, Xu Yao frowned.

"Are you deliberately saying this nonsense to scare me? You don't seem like the kind of person who would lie like this, do you?"

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the pharmacy owner's expression immediately froze.

"Young man, what do you mean by that? Why would I deliberately lie to you?"

"I sincerely want to ask you for the secret recipe for refining this Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill."

Xu Yao glanced at the pharmacy owner and snorted coldly.

"Alright, alright, tell me first what materials are needed to refine this kind of pill."

"I don't want to waste time arguing with you right now. I just want to learn how to make this kind of pill as soon as possible."

Upon seeing Xu Yao's reaction, the pharmacy owner couldn't help but show a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Since you are not willing to learn alchemy, young brother, then I can only take my leave."

"Don't worry! As long as you agree, I will definitely prepare all the materials you need."

"And don't worry, once we've had a successful collaboration, I'll provide you with other conveniences."

"Of course, if you feel that you cannot afford this price, then there's nothing I can do."

"After all, everyone only gets one chance; once you miss this opportunity, it's gone forever!"

Upon hearing the pharmacy owner's words, a strange light appeared in Xu Yao's eyes.

"Alright, I agree to your conditions, but you must also prepare a set of materials for alchemy as I instructed."

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the pharmacy owner's smile grew even brighter, and the joy in his eyes deepened.

Seeing the pharmacy owner's expression, Xu Yao felt secretly pleased with himself.

"The refining of this kind of pill can be described as an extremely profound and unfathomable method of alchemy."

"Moreover, the refining process is extremely complicated and takes a very long time; it cannot be done in a day."

"That's why I asked you to help me prepare some materials for refining the Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill."

"And the requirement is that the materials be delivered to me within a month, otherwise I can't guarantee that they won't be snatched away by other forces."

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the pharmacy owner nodded repeatedly.

"No problem, a month is not a problem for me."

"I'll go prepare a batch of medicinal herbs right away. Bring them to me in a month, and I can start refining them for you."

Xu Yao nodded slightly upon hearing this, then turned and left.

He needed to hurry back to Qingyun City to find the ingredients for the Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill.

However, just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly felt an intense pain in his right leg.

His right shoe was completely torn to shreds.

"What happened?" His face showed disbelief, and he was filled with shock.

His boots were made of fine iron.

It is incredibly sturdy and its defensive capabilities are astonishing.

Even a heavy sword could not cut through the shoe.

But now it has been torn to pieces.

This shows just how terrifying that immense power was.

Why can't I feel anything in my right leg all of a sudden?

He looked down at his right leg and found that it had become empty.

Moreover, his right leg is no longer a complete right leg.

His right leg was completely torn apart.

Upon seeing this, he was filled with horror.

His left foot was made of fine steel, with defensive capabilities comparable to a mystical weapon, and it was incredibly tough.

Even so, his right leg was torn to pieces.

He simply couldn't fathom what was going on.

His right leg was clearly not destroyed, so why did this incredibly strange thing happen?

Could it be that my right leg was scratched by the claws of some ferocious beast or martial artist?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his right hand and touch his right leg.

However, as soon as he touched his right leg, he felt a sharp, excruciating pain.

The excruciating pain almost made him scream out loud.

He quickly activated the acupuncture points to suppress the excruciating pain in his right leg.

As Xu Yao exhaled and exhaled, the trace of pain on his face vanished without a trace.

"It seems my right leg is still too weak; it has no way to withstand the attack of a Martial Venerable."

Seeing the condition of his right leg, Xu Yao couldn't help but sigh.

"I see you haven't taken my words to heart! I'll show you right now just how terrifying the Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill really is."

As he spoke, he took out another purple crystal.

The purple crystal emitted a dazzling purple light.

Upon seeing the purple light, Xu Yao's pupils contracted sharply.

This purple light is none other than the legendary Purple Spirit Ore used for refining weapons.

Purple Spirit Ore for Refining Weapons is one of the highest-grade materials used by weapon refiners.

This material is extremely rare, and the fire and water attribute spiritual power required for refining the weapon is also very rare.

Therefore, the success rate of weapon refiners is extremely low.

The pills that ordinary weapon refiners make are nothing more than common healing elixirs.

It can be said that this is the worst quality of all the pills.

The fact that the pharmacy owner had actually produced the Purple Spirit Ore used to refine the Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill filled him with surprise.

"It seems he really does know how to refine the Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill."

Xu Yao murmured to himself.

"Little one, you don't need to doubt my words. I am a genuine pharmacy owner, why would I lie to you?"

"I will now help you refine the formula for the Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill, and then we can refine the Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill."

The pharmacy owner said with a smile.

Upon hearing the pharmacy owner's words, Xu Yao's eyes lit up immediately.

He is now eager to refine the Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill as soon as possible.

"Alright, then please refine this pill for me right now."

"I don't want to waste any more time right now."

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the shopkeeper nodded and then turned his gaze to a medicinal herb field to Xu Yao's right.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a large swarm of herbs flew into his palm.

With a flick of his wrist, the shopkeeper produced pieces of purple herbs that fell into his hand.

"Dissolve these herbs first! After they've dissolved, drip the liquid into the flesh of your right hand," the pharmacy owner said calmly.

Hearing the pharmacy owner's words, Xu Yao didn't say anything more and simply stretched out his right hand and pressed it against his right hand.

Soon, a drop of blood dripped into the purple herbs.
