"Moreover, the more we eat, the happier they bee, because, I suppose, they want to use us for something, to nourish themselves with the medicine; in terms of elixirs, this pattern is not needed,"
"therefore, it should be alchemy, using humans as a guide, refining them into pills. The more we consume, perhaps the better the medicinal properties will be."
Su Zhou’s voice still carried a hint of timidity, but this analysis was well-founded, akin to that of a little adult.
Even Su Tu was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, because he knew the child’s guess was correct; they were indeed the primary ingredients for the Cyan Youth Pill.
And unsurprisingly, the so-called ’Nourishing Pill’ was indeed as Su Zhou said, requiring them to consume these potent drugs.
"So, I refuse to die of hunger; I’m going to eat, eat, eat as much as I can!"
Su Mu declared boldly.
"Our age is too young, and our physical endurance is limited; we can’t eat much more..." Su Zhou dampened their spirits from the side.
Hearing this, Su Tu’s expression subtly shifted.
You mean to say, for these potent drugs here, eat as much as you can, the more you eat, the happier they bee, correct??
Then it’s...
"Thank you for the hospitality..."
Su Tu couldn’t help but smile slightly, then touched his stomach and said, "Hearing you talk made me hungry indeed..."
Then, without any reservation, he bent down and took a big bite of the Great Red Blood Imperial Flower.
"No!! The flower’s potency!!" Su Zhou’s face changed drastically at the sight.
The medicinal properties of the Great Red Blood Imperial Flower were exceedingly terrifying. At their current age, no matter how talented they were, they couldn’t endure it. Such a bite could very likely overwhelm them with the medicinal properties and lead to physical collapse!
However, his intervention came too late; Su Tu was already eating in big mouthfuls, and the taste of the Great Red Blood Imperial Flower was akin to a peach, very delicious.
"What’s wrong with this flower? It tastes good!"
Su Tu continued eating while glancing at Su Zhou.
"No... nothing!"
As Su Zhou spoke, his eyes burst with a surprising brilliance, and his expression turned somewhat excited, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
His sister was about to say something, but Su Zhou tugged at her sleeve, and she held her tongue, only looking at Su Tu with a surprised expression.
Meanwhile.
In the laboratory.
"My gosh!! This child!! This child’s physique can withstand the medicinal power of the Great Red Blood Imperial Flower!"
"Oh my goodness!! Fantastic!! Fantastic!! This is a treasure from heaven, this child’s innate physical talent is extremely high!"
"Good!! Very good!! Being able to withstand the medicinal properties of the Great Red Blood, this is truly a natural Pill Guide!"
The experiment staff were speaking excitedly.
"Eat more! Yes!! Eat more!"
Being able to withstand an extra bit of medicinal properties represented a higher potential talent, representing a higher possibility of being a Pill Guide.
Thus, the more Su Tu ate, the higher the success rate of the Cyan Child Celestial Monarch’s Ring Body Pill, and the happier they became.
They watched the boy bingeing on the screen, only wishing he could eat more, and more.
But what happened next began to exceed their expectations.
They originally thought little Su Tu would eat three or four bites at most before being overwhelmed by the medicinal properties, triggering a protective mechanism of the body to faint.
However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, from the first bite until now, more than ten minutes had passed without any sign of stopping.
He had actually eaten a hole out of the Imperial Flower and didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.
He was even eating the Great Red Blood Imperial Flower while reaching to pluck an herb from the side, eating it as if it were a small snack.
"Bro... is this right??"
"No, stop eating, I’m getting a bit scared..."
"No, he’s eaten half of the Great Red Blood Imperial Flower already?? And he’s also eaten more than thirty ordinary potent medicines!"
"Damn, no... this..."
At this moment, the experiment staff didn’t know how to describe their feelings.
Eating one bite was a surprise, five bites was ecstasy, but as Su Tu continued, having devoured a fifth of the medicine garden, it was being a bit horrifying!
One experiment staff, watching Su Tu on the screen as he continued to munch on herbs like snacks, licked his dry lips.
"Should we stop him?"
"I think, something’s not quite right..." he said.
At this moment, a silent bushy-bearded man suddenly spoke: "Let him eat!! A Pill Guide like this appears once in a thousand years!"
Seeing the bushy beard speak, the other staff fell silent.
"This Pill Guide’s talent exceeds our imagination. Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, I think we should return to the clan and inform the Patriarch of the situation."
"A child with such talent, even if not used as a Pill Guide, with Heart and Spirit Lock, bearing the surname Chen, within a few years, our clan is bound to produce a Holy Son!"
The bushy-bearded man spoke with great seriousness.
As his words fell, two figures appeared behind him, clearly having been monitoring the situation all along.
Upon hearing the bushy-bearded man’s words, a trace of peculiar expression appeared on their faces.
The bushy beard’s words made some sense; if the pill was pleted and the ancestor revived, their branch would return to the main city, and they could even replace the main branch, which was what they sought.
But the talent this child displayed was extraordinarily terrifying. At such a young age, he could endure such terrible medicinal properties, and his future achievements would be limitless.
If he was bound with Heart and Spirit, making him believe himself to be a Chen family member, in no more than ten years, their branch would certainly produce a supreme prodigy, and by then, this branch would surely receive substantial attention.
