Chapter 195: The Three Divine Medicines (Vote for the Month)
"These twenty drugs cover an incredibly wide range," Zhang Yu thought to himself. "Energy replenishment, physical stamina, Martial Energy enhancement, qi and blood tonics, muscle gain, bone strengthening, nerve stimulation..."
At the same time, another Light Screen flickered to life, displaying the list of permitted medications for this examination.
Zhang Yu compared the popular review's twenty items against the official list, assigning each a point value.
The scores varied widely—some were low, like basic supplements such as Stimulants and Focus Enhancers, all worth just 10 points. More powerful muscle-building and bone-strengthening formulas hovered around 25 points. The stronger ones reached 50, 80, and even 100 points.
"But this video only covered twenty," Zhang Yu noted. "The examiner clearly said there are twenty-three drugs available this time."
His gaze settled on the three highest-scoring medications, each carrying a staggering 1,500 points—by far the most powerful and burdensome on the list.
"Three missing? So why use this influencer's video as reference?"
On the other side of the hall, Ye Lingshao remained unfazed. He mused internally: "This video went viral for a reason—back then, the companies pushed it hard to promote their core twenty drugs."
"It seems the reason this exam uses medication isn’t just about testing ability. It’s clearly tied to corporate influence."
"Maybe they deliberately included these twenty drugs in the exam list—just to push sales—then casually repurposed this video for instruction."
As a descendant of the Xian Du Ye family, Ye Lingshao understood the tangled web between the Top Ten Sects’ corporations and Zheng Shen. The relationships were a mix of rivalry, cooperation, conflict, and business—complex beyond measure.
Even the Red Envelope Charm and Affinity Charm he’d once studied so deeply held hidden secrets. He suspected they were involved in money laundering between the companies and Zheng Shen.
"The woman I met before could use the Affinity Charm to transfer funds. She might’ve been part of that scheme."
"Still... money laundering is dangerous. Even if you gain Zheng Shen’s favor for a time, the end result is never good."
Despite the immense profit, the growing sense of risk made Ye Lingshao pull back. He’d decided not to pursue that path any further.
Just then, as the video ended, Deng Bingding spoke up: "Three drugs weren’t covered in the video. I’ll clarify them now."
"These three are still in experimental stages, not yet released to the market. That’s why they’re absent."
"Though their effects are extremely powerful, each comes with significant drawbacks."
"In fact, these three are the most potent among the twenty-three—but also the most physically taxing. Each will push your body to its absolute limit."
"First is the Daojie Sustained-Release Capsule..."
Zhang Yu listened, mentally summarizing the details.
Daojie Sustained-Release Capsule
Function: Contains sedatives and negative emotion blockers. Temporarily enhances Dao Heart resilience, absorbs negative emotions. Requires long-term use.
Side Effects: Not yet fully known.
Zhang Yu frowned inwardly. "Skip this one. If the company admits side effects are ‘unknown,’ there’s probably a major red flag inside."
Next came the 1,500-point Martial Energy Meridian Injector.
Zhang Yu jotted down the key points:
Martial Energy Meridian Injector
Function: Mimics the catalytic enzymes produced in natural Spirit Root bearers, effectively suppressing fatigue in the dantian and meridians, stimulating Spirit Root activity, and dramatically accelerating Martial Energy recovery and growth.
Side Effects: Anxiety, rapid breathing, muscle twitching, unconsciousness.
Warning: Long-term use may cause meridian cancer.
At first, Zhang Yu was intrigued. He considered giving himself a few injections—why not boost his Martial Energy during the exam?
But the mention of "meridian cancer" made his expression tighten instantly.
"What the hell? They actually allow this in an exam? So this test really wants students to push themselves to death?"
Then Deng Bingding introduced the final drug.
Fangfeng Functional Essence
Function: Contains nano-structured synthetic phoenix cells. Stimulates muscle and bone growth, provides phoenix hormones for rapid tissue repair, significantly enhancing body cultivation efficiency.
Side Effects: Diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness, headaches, drowsiness, insomnia, neuritis, fever, fatigue, high fever, anaphylactic shock.
Note: Most side effects are mild and temporary, generally not affecting cultivation.
Zhang Yu hesitated. He wasn’t sure whether to believe the claim.
"But among the three, this one seems the least likely to be a death trap."
Still, he thought, with my High School Saint Body and Chunqiu Wujin Chan, can I even survive this?
"Yet it’s worth 1,500 points—far beyond any other drug."
"If someone takes it, I’ll have no choice but to follow."
As the medication explanations ended, crates after crates were brought into the exam hall and placed before the five candidates.
Deng Bingding delivered his final warning: "Detection Patches will be applied to your bodies to monitor your physiological status in real time."
"If your body exceeds safe limits—life-threatening conditions arise—automatic disqualification will be triggered."
"Please exercise caution. Do not exceed your physical limits..."
Of course, as soon as the exam began, Zhang Yu watched Yu Xinghan charge forward, grabbing box after box of drugs like they were buffet items.
Yu Xinghan grabbed a row of Dragon-Elephant Preparations, grinning. "Normally this would cost a fortune. Today, I’m going all out!"
"Damn, wish I could take some home."
With over a dozen injections of Dragon-Elephant Preparation flooding his system, Yu Xinghan’s body visibly swelled—his cheeks, once sunken, now plumped back up with vigor.
His score skyrocketed past 100 points.
Then came a flurry of supplements—each injection sending waves of energy through his body, like he was finally making up for months of overtime.
This is amazing, he thought. I thought this round was just a formality, but now I’m actually getting a real drug rush.
Tomorrow, back to Hongta for another night of work.
A satisfied smirk tugged at his lips.
But as he touched his chest, he felt a dull heaviness in his organs, and his heartbeat pounded like a drum.
"520 points."
Phew... I’m nearing my limit. I could keep going, but it’d damage my body.
Still, I’m not chasing the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate. No need to push so hard.
Just then, a massive shadow loomed over him.
A hand—larger than Yu Xinghan’s head—reached over and snatched a full row of syringes.
It was No. 18, Meng Tao, a native of Xian Du with Bao Shi Linggen lineage. He’d performed poorly in the previous Feast Battle despite eating fast—his slow digestion had been his downfall.
But that failure had taught him a lesson.
"My physical quality is nowhere near Ye Lingshao’s level—natural prodigy that he is."
"So to close the gap, I’ll have to rely on sheer numbers."
Even the strongest five-year-old can’t match a fifteen-year-old in strength—size and weight are decisive.
So over the past two months, Meng Tao had undergone eight Modification Surgeries, combining them with his Bao Shi Linggen heritage. His height now stood at 3.2 meters, and his weight exceeded 1,000 kilograms.
If quality fails, use quantity.
He would rely on his monstrous size and mass to overpower opponents.
And in this drug injection exam, his size was a clear advantage—capable of handling far more medication than anyone else.
As a top-tier Xian Du student, he knew the perfect method.
With a sneer, he glanced at Yu Xinghan.
"Backwater outsider. Just jab anywhere you want?"
"Medications aren’t used like that."
"To maximize intake, you must prep properly. First, drink nutrient elixirs to prime your system. Then take capsules to settle your stomach, kickstart digestion."
"Only then come the injections. Never start with stimulants or sedatives—your brain metabolizes slowest of all."
Yu Xinghan watched, stunned, as Meng Tao tore open box after box with lightning speed. His score climbed rapidly—already over 1,200 points.
This guy is terrifying, Yu Xinghan thought. How many drugs have these Xian Du people taken? How many surgeries have they endured?
No. 18’s body is at least double what it was last time. Are they raising livestock?
Then again… they’re all high school students. They’re still in their peak growth phase. While I’m advancing, they’re accelerating even faster.
But Yu Xinghan wasn’t worried. He’d never expected to win the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate on his first try.
Instead, he turned his gaze toward No. 23—Ye Lingshao.
No. 23… I remember, he’s the strongest Xian Du student.
Wait… what?
He’s actually injecting the 1,500-point Martial Energy Meridian Injector?
In shock, Yu Xinghan watched as Ye Lingshao—still at zero points, still untouched by any drug—walked straight to the syringe, plunged it into his body, and injected the divine medicine.
The moment it entered, Ye Lingshao’s entire body convulsed.
Veins bulged like serpents beneath his skin.
He gasped, mouth wide open, breathing in ragged, violent bursts. His body trembled uncontrollably.
