Chapter 414 - 313: Li Wu Transformation Plan

Watching Han Zhan throw herbal ingredients into the cauldron, Li Wu’s heart bled.

They’re all money!

Using the Shennong Cauldron to concoct a Body Tempering recipe isn’t particularly difficult.

Among the medicines Han Zhan concocted, it’s one of the simplest.

The only troublesome part is,

Li Wu’s physique.

Body Tempering is different from other scenarios. The paste-like ointment produced is applied all over the body.

After the application, the body undergoes a washing and tempering process to achieve the tempering effect.

This process has two advantages.

First, the medication can maximize the tempering effect through skin absorption.

Second, this method requires the least amount of herbal ingredients and is cost-effective.

Thus, after the concoction was completed, Han Zhan summoned Li Wu to the center of the room.

"An ointment-based formula?"

Upon hearing Han Zhan’s introduction, Li Wu was initially skeptical.

His Jiuli Race also has their own Body Tempering Technique, and he is quite confident in his physique building.

"Just give it a try."

"Anyway, there are plenty of herbs. If it’s not enough, there are more at the market."

Han Zhan said, rubbing his hands eagerly.

If you hadn’t said that last sentence, my heart wouldn’t feel so much pain. Li Wu’s face twitched.

He still obediently stood in the designated spot.

Han Zhan came over with a wooden bucket in one hand and a brush in the other.

"Transform first, then I’ll apply the medication. It’s the best way to achieve maximum effect."

Li Wu nodded.

He clenched his fists and let out a low shout.

From the apertures on either side of his shoulders, white smoke was released, and his slightly bulging shoulder muscles began to expand rapidly.

Then his torso, limbs...

It’s like quickly inflating a deflated model.

Even though he’d seen it before, Han Zhan was still amazed by the Jiuli Race’s transformation method.

After transforming, Li Wu stood at four or five meters tall.

Holding the wooden bucket and the brush, Han Zhan looked like a model enthusiast diligently painting a Gundam.

This process didn’t last long.

Once the medication was applied, Li Wu looked as though he wore a layer of black armor.

The rich fragrance of the medicine permeated the entire room.

But soon after, Li Wu immersed in the medication began to let out low groans of pain.

The seemingly pitch-black medicinal paste, crafted in the Shennong Cauldron, was the finest Body Tempering Medicine.

It penetrated through the skin into Li Wu’s body, with immense energy coursing through every inch!

"It really works!"

Li Wu could feel it most clearly; his bones were becoming sturdier, his skin tougher.

His physique was indeed growing larger as the medicine continued taking effect!

From initially four meters to five meters, then six!

The unprecedented power made Li Wu instinctively clench his fists.

"Truly incredible."

As time ticked by, the black medicinal paste on Li Wu’s skin began to dry.

As the black mud peeled away, it exposed half of his face and mouth.

"Our Jiuli Race’s Body Tempering Technique involves ingesting herbs, then using the body to crush the herb exterior, refining its essence, and channeling it through each aperture via the bloodstream."

"This method created by Great Chief Chi You provides an impressive refining and enhancement to my flesh body, but your external application method offers even greater improvements!"

At this moment, Han Zhan’s image in Li Wu’s eyes seemed deep and unfathomable.

He could purify polluted herbs, master Body Tempering Techniques, and deploy Fu Xi Race’s musical methods.

Could this Han Zhan person be a Great Power from the current Fu Xi Race?

But that’s not right.

Each tribe’s Great Powers should have at least Tier Eight strength. Although Han Zhan’s strength isn’t weak, he seems to be only Tier Seven.

Of course, the possibility of Tier Seven Great Power cannot be excluded.

"I feel the effect of the Body Tempering Medicine has ceased."

Li Wu himself didn’t notice that when he said this, his tone was more respectful.

"Hmm."

Han Zhan nodded, then huffed and brought over the second barrel.

Li Wu: "?!"

"Han... Han Zhan? There’s more?"

Although the Body Tempering effect is outstanding, it does have its limits.

Like consuming too much of one kind of herb, building resistance is the same principle.

"Don’t worry, I know more than you about pharmacology."

Han Zhan patted the wooden bucket. "This is another Body Tempering Medicine brew, entirely different from the previous one."

"Another formula?! You have a second Body Tempering formula?"

Seeing Li Wu’s unexpected excitement, Han Zhan nodded nonchalantly.

"Similar formulas, I have seven." Han Zhan said calmly.

Li Wu’s jaw dropped in shock.

...

The strength of the Jiuli Race’s warriors is related to their physical sturdiness.

Great Chief Chi You, known for his terrifyingly robust physique, was also called "Demon God."

Besides Chi You, the other eight chieftains are also known for their strong flesh bodies.

Jiuli warriors are passionate about Body Tempering, but it’s unprecedented for someone like Li Wu to do it so diligently.

Now Li Wu, after transforming, reached a height of nine meters, just a step away from ten meters.

"I can’t go further."

"Seems like nine meters is the limit; I’ve applied every type of Body Tempering Medicine externally, and there’s no way to grow anymore."

Han Zhan said somewhat regretfully.

As for Li Wu, he went from initial shock to later numbness.

But when he heard Han Zhan’s words, he instinctively raised his voice.

"What?"

"Did you just say, nine meters?!"

According to Jiuli history, the strongest warrior ever, Demon God Chi You,

when at Tier Seven Peak Realm, could grow to twelve meters tall through Body Tempering and talent enhancement!

The other eight chieftains, at Tier Seven Peak Realm, could transform to ten meters tall.

But he, a nearly marginal Jiuli offspring with diluted bloodline, could transform to nine meters at Tier Seven?!

What does this mean?

It means his bloodline, flesh body strength, and talent have reached nearly the same level as a Jiuli chieftain!

As long as he continues to break through into Tier Eight, Tier Nine,

becoming the next Chieftain isn’t entirely impossible!

Thinking this, Li Wu excitedly broke free from the clay sculpture.

The impurities refined from tempering and the dried medicine residue formed a clay figure over his skin.

Now walking out of the clay mold, Li Wu couldn’t wait to look down and admire his nine-meter robust physique.

In the next moment, he froze.

If Li Wu was once a toweringly fierce Jiuli warrior,

now his jade-like tender, smooth skin makes him look like a... plucked white chicken?

Li Wu’s face instantly turned pale.
