I Have Medicine

Chapter 570 - (The medicine has been refined) It is ready for use.

Content Warning: The following chapter contains graphic and disturbing scenes that may be distressing to some readers. Reader discretion is advised.

Gu Zuo spent a full three days and nights researching the Blue-Eyed Tribe, but still had no conclusive results.

The reason was simple. Although he was very dedicated, matters related to bloodlines were inherently complex, and the awakening of the Blue-Eyed Tribe involved ethereal mental power, which was quite different from the quick physical transformation of the Demon Wolf Tribe, where “one activation turns them into wolves.” From Gu Zuo’s observations, the Blue-Eyed Tribe’s bloodline awakening should occur in three stages: the first stage is no awakening, which applies to most of the Blue-Eyed Tribe; the second stage is partial awakening, which applies to single-eyed Blue-Eyed Tribe members whose bloodline concentration is insufficient; the third stage is full awakening, turning into double-eyed Blue-Eyed Tribe members. In this stage, the concentration of inherited factors in every drop of blood is much higher, and the effect of the double eyes is a complete inheritance, rather than the incomplete inheritance of the single eye.

When dealing with the Demon Wolf Tribe, the second drug Gu Zuo used after they wolfed out not only had no negative impact on the first drug, but even enhanced its effect. Therefore, the paired medications should have been equally effective. However, this approach completely lost its effectiveness with the Blue-Eyed Tribe.

Gu Zuo quickly developed a drug for ordinary Blue-Eyed Tribe members. However, when he tried to use an enhanced version of another drug to address the awakened double-eyed Blue-Eyed Tribe member, he found that after the second drug was added, the bloodline inheritance factors of the Blue-Eyed Tribe produced a powerful rejection force, expelling the second drug. At the same time, the effect of the first drug was also weakened.

Due to this strange phenomenon, Gu Zuo tried various methods, but none of them solved the problem. It seemed that the awakened Blue-Eyed Tribe’s bloodline could automatically protect itself and expel poisons. Even after the Blue-Eyed Tribe member died, their body still rejected the drug.

It was strange, very strange.

Could it be that the Blue-Eyed Tribe was immune to all poisons?

In any case, the single-eyed and double-eyed members of the Blue-Eyed Tribe were clearly not that easy to handle.

And what Gu Zuo aimed for… was precisely these two.

After calming down, Gu Zuo summarized the two drugs that were highly lethal to ordinary Blue-Eyed Tribe members and set aside those for the single-eyed and double-eyed Blue-Eyed Tribe members for now. Though the number of awakened double-eyed individuals was small, their abilities were quite bizarre, and Gu Zuo had to figure out a way to warn the people of Eight Desolations City to be on guard. Of course, that was a matter for later.

As for now…

Gu Zuo looked at the Houtian Realm Giant Rock Tribe member.

Yes, it was time for the experiment. The reactions that could be observed on the corpse… he wondered whether they could produce the correct results on the actual foreign race members. He was quite eager to find out.

When the members of the three tribes saw this, their pupils immediately contracted.

It has finally come!

From this moment on, whether simultaneously or separately, they would all become the test subjects of this young pharmacist, and most likely, their lives would never be spared.

They were filled with intense rage, but their expressions remained numb.

At first, these foreign races had treated the human race with extreme cruelty and never thought there was anything wrong with it. But now, as the human race treated them like pigs and dogs, they could finally feel the corresponding pain.

However, even when these foreign races had fallen to such a state, they did not regret their actions. They continued to curse and scold within the room, calling him cruel, poisonous, despicable, shameless, and so on. But Gu Zuo paid no attention to these meaningless words. He immediately took out a type of poison and effortlessly administered it to the Giant Rock Tribe member of the Houtian Realm.

In an instant, the entire body of the Giant Rock Tribe member turned black, and then it immediately transformed into a puddle of black water, vanishing into ash! The toxicity was extremely potent and terrifying!

Gu Zuo secretly nodded.

It seemed that the power of this drug was exactly as he had expected.

However, since the Houtian Realm Giant Rock Tribe member had died, the other two drugs couldn’t be tested on him—fortunately, there were still four more subjects, so he just needed to be more careful moving forward.

Gu Zuo then walked in front of the Giant Rock Tribe member of the Xiantian Realm and took out another drug.

As soon as the drug touched the Xiantian Giant Rock Tribe member’s body, his entire body immediately turned bright red, but only for an instant. The tribesman then rotted and turned into a pool of blood!

The drug’s effect was also incredibly terrifying!

Gu Zuo nodded again and then moved on to the last Giant Rock Tribe member in the Immortal Realm, preparing to test the third drug.

The effect was equally violent, but this time, it turned the tribesman into a pile of gray powder, leaving no trace of flesh behind.

After testing all three drugs, the results were exactly as Gu Zuo had anticipated, proving that his earlier experiments were quite accurate. Although all three were useful, in actual combat, it would be best to use a single drug with the most effective and easily obtainable materials. In Gu Zuo’s opinion, the third one was the most promising.

The reason was simple—it was clean.

The first two turned into black water or blood water, both containing deadly toxins. If by any chance they splashed onto the human soldiers, it would cause harm to their bodies—although Gu Zuo had made antidote pills, the soldiers wouldn’t be able to continue fighting immediately. They would need to return and expel the poison properly.

With this thought in mind, Gu Zuo proceeded to test the final drug on the Giant Rock Tribe member in the Atomic Realm.

The three types of drugs, each taken in a small amount, were sprinkled separately on the arms and abdomen of the tribe member. Immediately, the skin and flesh of the arms and abdomen began to change. The speed of this transformation was slightly slower compared to the previous drugs tested on the lower realm tribesmen, but this slight delay did not affect the overall situation. If this tribesman were still free, and if he reacted quickly enough, he should be able to sever the affected part, such as his arms or legs. However, if the affected area was the abdomen, it would be too late to even quickly carve out a piece of flesh.

That was enough.

The effects of the three drugs were nearly identical in speed. Thus, Gu Zuo could follow his previous plan and choose the third drug, which turned the Giant Rock Tribe member into dust.

Under Gu Zuo’s watch, the Giant Rock Tribe member in the Atomic Realm began to be corroded starting from his arms and abdomen. In just one or two breaths, he had already turned into a pile of mush. This was likely the result of the interactions between the poisons, making the scene slightly disgusting.

Afterward, Gu Zuo raised an eyebrow and spoke to the remaining tribesmen: “How do you all feel?”

The powerful effects of the poison left the four members of the Demon Wolf Tribe and the four members of the Blue-Eyed Tribe who had been watching the entire process shocked. The fate of the Giant Rock Tribe member was undoubtedly the horrific outcome they would face!

However, they had no way to resist.

They also knew very well that the human pharmacist in front of them would never spare them. Since begging for mercy was futile, their viciousness flared up, and their faces became even colder as they bared their teeth at Gu Zuo, but not a word was spoken.

Gu Zuo watched them and smiled in satisfaction: “Very good, I like you all having such spirit. I’m quite soft-hearted. If you weren’t so determined, I might have been too soft to go through with it.”

Their expressions changed.

Gu Zuo blinked: “Of course, I was lying.”

Tribesmen: “…”

After saying those few words, Gu Zuo didn’t really have any intention of joking with them. He quickly took out the poison he had specially prepared for the Demon Wolf Tribe.

Two combinations of poison—Gu Zuo decided to use them one set at a time.

The Demon Wolf Tribe members of the Houtian Realm and Xiantian Realm, upon coming into contact with the poison, died before they even had a chance to transform into wolves. In fact, wolf transformation was a difficult technique that required both bloodline activation and a strong physical constitution, usually only achievable after reaching the Immortal Realm. Only a few super-strong individuals could attempt it in the Xiantian Realm. Clearly, those who were captured by humans were unlikely to be super-powerful figures from the foreign race, so they couldn’t transform into wolves at all.

Next, the combination of poisons worked perfectly on the Demon Wolf Tribe members in the Immortal Realm and Atomic Realm.

When the first wave of poison was dispersed, the two Demon Wolf Tribe members instantly went into a berserk frenzy and, with the fastest speed, transformed into wolf! Then, as the second wave of poison was released, those who had been given the two types of poison let out a terrible scream as their flesh and blood exploded, turning into blood-red meat paste.

Gu Zuo: “…”

The effects were good, and the results were similar, but the smell was far from pleasant.

Gu Zuo silently took a few steps back.

Alright, although these two types of poison are akin to human bombs on the battlefield, possibly even leaving psychological scars on the human warriors, on the other hand, they serve as a deterrent to the foreign tribes, boosting the morale of the human side, making them feel invincible!

This will do.

The four members of the Blue-Eyed Tribe looked at Gu Zuo as if he were a demon.

They had never imagined that a human could do such a thing, making their tribesmen, who prided themselves on their formidable methods, feel fear and be utterly terrified!

Such a monster—if the poisons he researches are widely deployed on the battlefield, it will surely bring disaster to their three tribes!

However, Gu Zuo didn’t care what they thought.

Not having developed a poison to deal with the awakened Blue-Eyed tribesmen had already been frustrating enough. Now, when dealing with these ordinary Blue-Eyed Tribe members, he showed no mercy, using the two poisons he had designed in his mind on all four of them. The reactions of the Blue-Eyed Tribe members in the Houtian Realm and Xiantian Realm were exactly as Gu Zuo had expected. However, when he experimented on the Blue-Eyed members of the Immortal Realm and Atomic Realm, he found that, although neither of them had awakened the blue eyes, the two poisons he had developed acted slowly on them. It took nearly a full cup of tea before the effects became severe. But in that time, the poisoned Blue-Eyed Tribe members had already had enough time to leave the battlefield, figure out ways to suppress the poison, and think of other ways to deal with it… This was not what he wanted.

The Blue-Eyed Tribe was just too difficult to deal with.

Gu Zuo was not willing to give up like this. After experimenting with the last two Blue-Eyed Tribe members multiple times, he finally noticed that, although their blood was still a deep red, it also contained small amounts of golden sand. This led him to realize that the golden sand might be a bloodline factor of the Blue-Eyed Tribe. If the amount of golden sand was sufficient, it could change the blood and awaken their bloodline. If the amount was insufficient, the Blue-Eyed Tribe member wouldn’t awaken the bloodline, but the golden sand would provide strong protective effects, making them resistant to poison. Naturally, if there was no golden sand at all, the bloodline wouldn’t awaken, and there wouldn’t be any protective effects.

This needed further verification in the future.

After considering for a while, Gu Zuo decided to increase the concentration of the poison for the ordinary Blue-Eyed Tribe members by a hundred times. In the next encounter with the Blue-Eyed Tribe, he would attempt to test the effects on the awakened ones. By observing the real-time reactions of the surviving tribesmen, it would provide him with the most useful information.

For the last two Blue-Eyed Tribe members, Gu Zuo decided not to let them die, preparing to continue using them in the future.

But for now, he finally stood up, carrying a large number of finished products, and left his “laboratory.”
