Chapter 173: Request for Merit!

"Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing?"

In the underground cave outside the city, Liu Zimo heard Yang Sisi's report and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He muttered to himself in a low voice:

"Why are they coming at this time? Could it be that there is a food crisis in the capital city?"

The spirit-devouring insects in the capital city had already been completely eradicated, and Hong Yuxun, who had successfully broken through to the Saint realm, was stationed there. Naturally, there shouldn't be any major security issues.

The only possible problem, in Liu Zimo's opinion, was the upcoming global famine!

This time, Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing were sent from the capital city, most likely to borrow food.

"It's very possible!" Yang Sisi chimed in. "When the two envoys arrived at the military office, we had just successfully refined the first batch of 'Satiety Pills' in the training ground. It seems that they are very interested!"

Liu Zimo nodded slightly upon hearing this.

It had to be said that Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing came at just the right time.

With the successful refinement of the Satiety Pills, the next step would naturally be to promote them nationwide, or even globally.

Their arrival saved him the trouble of making a special trip to the capital city.

At that time, they would bring back the pill formula of the Satiety Pills.

Then, in the name of the military office in the capital city, they would distribute them to major cities across the country, which would be much more effective than just the small city of Luozhou.

"Haizi, tidy up and come with me!"

Liu Zimo spoke softly and beckoned to Liu Zimo, who was tending to the spiritual plants in the spiritual garden.

"Huh? Going out?"

Liu Zimo stood up from a patch of herbs and looked up, looking somewhat unwilling.

"Brother, I still have alchemy and martial arts practice to do later. I don't have time to go out for those boring social events. Can't we not go?"

This brat really wanted to be a homebody for the rest of his life?

This was such a good opportunity to gain fame and recognition. It was something that couldn't be obtained no matter how much one begged, yet he actually wanted to push it away?

"No way!"

Liu Zimo flatly refused his request and said firmly, "Put aside any important matters for now. Today, you must come with me!"

Seeing his big brother's resolute tone, Liu Zimo could only shrug helplessly.

"Alright, you're the big brother, so you have the final say. Can I go now?"

After saying that, he lightly shook off the water stains on his hands and appeared directly in front of Liu Zimo and Yang Sisi.

"Let's go, let's go quickly. I'm really pressed for time!"

Liu Zimo looked at him with some disdain and said speechlessly, "Haizi, it's one thing if you don't wash your hands or face, but how long has it been since you changed your clothes?"

"Didn't Dad bring you new clothes last night? Why didn't you change into them directly?"

"No time!" Liu Zimo said indifferently. "I've been preparing to break through to the second stage of alchemy master these days. I'm very busy!"

"Besides, I'm not going out, so why should I wear new clothes?"

"As for washing my face and taking a bath, come on, bro, I'm already in the Golden Body realm now. My body is pure and undefiled. Even if I don't bathe for a year, there won't be any odor. What's there to be afraid of?"

Well, you have a point for being lazy?

Smack!

Liu Zimo couldn't tolerate this bad habit of his. He kicked Liu Zimo back into his own room and shouted loudly, "Hurry up and change your clothes for me. Otherwise, get ready to go out naked!"

"Oh, and after changing your clothes, remember to bring all the modified pill formulas you and your little uncle worked on before. They will come in handy!"

Liu Zihao covered his kicked butt and dared not speak, saying, "I got it, I got it. You're even more naggy than Dad!"

Although he said that, his actions were not slow at all. He quickly took off his old clothes and put on the new clothes that Dad gave him last night.

He was afraid that if he was a little slower, his older brother would really strip him naked and throw him outside for people to admire.

In Liu Zihao's heart, he respected his older brother much more than his father!

Usually, if he made a mistake, Dad would be tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and a few scoldings would be enough.

But his older brother, he would really use his hands!

After a moment.

Liu Zihao finally finished tidying up and carried six improved versions of the simple pill formula, obediently returning to Liu Zimo's side.

"Well, that's more like it. You look much better than before!" Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction and quietly communicated with Jiao Linglong and Gui Sui Shou beside the spiritual spring, instructing them to guard the spiritual energy sanctuary. Then, he took his little brother and Yang Sisi and left directly.

Swish!

The next second, when Yang Sisi opened her eyes again, she found that they had already returned to the military office in the city, standing right next to the two special envoys from the capital.

At this time, Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing were standing in front of a huge homemade furnace, carefully watching the chef's cooking in the military kitchen, or rather, the alchemy process, without blinking.

Because they were too focused, coupled with Liu Zimo's silent appearance, the two of them didn't notice Liu Zimo and the others' arrival at all.

"You're wrong!"

"The fur, organs, and heads of the demonic beasts cannot be used. Using them will seriously affect the taste of the pill!"

"Didn't I make it clear in the formula? Or did you not even bother to read it carefully?"

"With your methods, the resulting Fullness Pill may be non-toxic, but it will be even harder to swallow!"

"Really, the taste of the normal Fullness Pill is already bad enough. After you guys messed with it, can anyone still eat it?"

Liu Zimo didn't speak, but his little brother Liu Zihao jumped out.

There was no way. Seeing the chef throwing the completely unprocessed demonic beast flesh and blood into the steamer to save trouble, his OCD was acting up.

Even if it was a simplified version of alchemy, could they at least show a little professionalism?

The way they were doing it was simply an insult to the alchemist profession!

He really couldn't bear to watch anymore!

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. In the end, Liu Zihao pushed the chef aside and personally demonstrated the operation.

It wasn't until then that Zhao Jiajun, Du Xuebing, and the others noticed that Advisor Liu had already arrived.

"Advisor Liu!"

"Advisor Liu!"

Everyone saluted and greeted, and Liu Zimo smiled and nodded in return. Finally, his gaze fell directly on Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing.

"Vice Chief Zhao, Captain Du, Yang Sisi said you have important matters to discuss with me. I wonder what it is that made you two specially come to Luo Prefecture?"

"This..." Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing exchanged glances, and finally, Du Xuebing spoke up, reporting, "Advisor Liu, you may not know, but now there are more than ten cities in the capital and its surrounding areas that are in a state of semi-famine due to a shortage of food reserves. Some cities have even seen the tragic sight of people starving to death and resorting to cannibalism!"

"The Military Department and several other high-ranking officials are at a loss, so they sent the two of us to Luo Prefecture to seek your help, Advisor Liu!"

When it comes to military matters, soldiers never beat around the bush.

In just two sentences, Du Xuebing made their purpose clear.

While speaking, his gaze occasionally glanced at Liu Zihao, who was optimizing the alchemy process, with a look of inquiry and anticipation.

Unless something unexpected happened, this should be Advisor Liu's younger brother, Liu Zihao, the one who invented the formula for the Fullness Pill!

Although he looks a bit young, he seems to have some real skills!

Moreover, his martial arts cultivation has already reached the Golden Body Realm, making him a little master.

Wait!

Speaking of the Golden Body Realm, whether it's Du Xuebing or Zhao Jiajun, they all can't help but think of the "Boundary Breaking Pill"!

Since this younger brother of Advisor Liu is an alchemist, could it be that the "Boundary Breaking Pill" that helped hundreds of Iron Body Realm warriors break through to the Golden Body Realm in the capital city was also made by him?

If that's the case, then the value of this Liu Zihao is truly immense!

"The food problem used to be a rather tricky issue."

Liu Zimo also shifted his gaze to his younger brother and said calmly,

"But now, with the successful development of the "Satiety Pill," this problem is no longer a problem!"

"In fact, even if you didn't come today, after the refining experiment of the "Satiety Pill" is completed, I would personally go to the capital city."

"One is to distribute the recipe for the "Satiety Pill" and solve the food crisis in the capital city and other major cities in Daxia."

"The second is to commend my younger brother. He has successively refined the "Boundary Breaking Pill," "Satiety Pill," and several other equally powerful elixirs!"

"To put it bluntly, my younger brother's contribution is worthy of the entire nation's effort to build a holy shrine for him!"

Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing, upon hearing this, didn't think Liu Zimo was exaggerating at all. Instead, they nodded seriously and cooperated.

That's right.

Even without the credit for the "Boundary Breaking Pill," just the "Satiety Pill" that can save the human race from hunger is enough to elevate Liu Zihao to a saint!

At this moment, Advisor Liu speaking up to commend his younger brother is seen as normal and appropriate by both Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing!

Rewards should be given for achievements!

Especially in the military, commending and rewarding achievements is not only normal but also a tradition of the military staff!

As long as you have real achievements, without any opportunism or deception, and can withstand investigation and verification by superiors, the military staff will provide corresponding rewards!

In the military, it is not encouraged to do good deeds without leaving a name!

As long as everyone competes and strives to make achievements and earn reputation, the upward momentum in the military can be maintained continuously and develop in a positive way!

"Therefore, I want to let Haizi join the military staff and apply for a certain degree of resource tilt for him to ensure his future alchemy and research needs."

Liu Zimo directly stated his request.

This is also the real reason why he brought Liu Zihao here.

Being an alchemist is an extremely expensive profession, with a great demand for various spiritual medicine resources!

In the future, if Liu Zihao wants to break through to the third rank, fourth rank, or even the eighth rank and ninth rank alchemist, the support from a small city like Luozhou is definitely not enough!

Therefore, it is necessary to let the leaders in the capital city see the value of his younger brother, attract them to continuously increase investment, and provide more spiritual medicine resources for Liu Zihao.

Ideally, with the support of the entire nation or even the future federation, Liu Zihao can be pushed to the realm of a top alchemist!

In that case, Liu Zihao's future support and assistance to the federation will be unprecedented!

This is a win-win situation.

Liu Zimo believes that with the potential his younger brother has shown and the elixir recipes he has contributed, it is enough to make Wu Songyang and others tempted and make the most correct choice!

In the midst of the conversation, Liu Zihao had already processed all the ingredients and used his internal energy to accelerate the digestion of the demon beast's flesh in the steamer.

In just a few minutes, Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing smelled the familiar pungent smell.

However, compared to before, the smell this time had obviously become much milder.

Although it was still pungent and not pleasant, it had already been reduced to a level that normal people could bear.

Hua!

The lid of the pot was lifted, and a dozen still steaming dark pills lay quietly at the bottom of the pot.

The thousands of catties of monster flesh and blood that had been put into the steamer earlier were nowhere to be seen!

"It's formed!" Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing's eyes filled with excitement and eagerness.

This pot... well, this furnace of pills, from ignition to formation, they had witnessed it all with their own eyes.

The entire alchemy process had no trace of adulteration or concealment.

Indeed, it was made simply by using the flesh, bones, and ordinary steamer of ordinary monsters as the main ingredients!

Foolproof operation, anyone can do it!

As long as they mastered the key steps and ingredient ratios, even an ordinary soldier could make it!

If the effects of these pills were the same as the one they had previously tasted, then their main mission in coming to Luozhou this time would be considered completed ahead of schedule!

When they brought back these "Satiety Pills" and the pill formula, Wu Zongcan, Hong Zongguan, and the four pillars of the country would surely be overjoyed!

You see, in recent times, these big shots in the capital city had not slept for several days and nights because of the impending food crisis!

"Liu Advisor, can we try another pill?" Du Xuebing asked Liu Zimo.

Liu Zimo nodded happily, indicating that they could help themselves.

Without any hesitation, the two of them reached out and took a still warm "Satiety Pill" from the pot.

Without much thought, they directly raised their hands and put it into their mouths.

The expected feeling of nausea did not occur.

On the contrary, the taste of this pill was more than ten times better than before!

Although it was still difficult to eat, with its sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and strange flavors mixed together.

But it was within the range that ordinary people could tolerate, enough to be swallowed smoothly.

What Liuzi Hao said earlier was indeed correct!

The "Satiety Pills" made from processed monster flesh and blood had indeed greatly improved in terms of taste.

It went from being inedible to being edible by humans!

Moreover, the effectiveness was not compromised at all!

The spiritual energy contained in the stomach cavity of the pill was even more pure, and the digestion time was extended by about an hour!

Doesn't this mean that the half-month satiety effect is not the limit of the "Satiety Pill"?

If they used the flesh and bones of high-level monsters to refine pills, would they be able to achieve a longer-lasting satiety effect?

"All of you should try it too!" Liuzi Hao took out the remaining "Satiety Pills" from the pot and said to several chefs, "See how the taste compares to the ones you previously made?"

"Then, try to refine it yourselves, following the demonstration I just gave, and make sure to do it perfectly!"

Hmm hmm hmm!

After tasting these "Satiety Pills" made by Liuzi Hao, all the soldiers in the kitchen brigade nodded in satisfaction.

Compared to this young man in front of them, their previous alchemy techniques were really too rough, completely incomparable. They couldn't accept it!

Rarely did they have such an expert willing to put aside his status to guide them. They were not stupid, so of course, they wouldn't miss this rare opportunity.

Therefore, with Liuzi Hao's command.

The few of them quickly cleaned all the monster skins, organs, and heads, and then started the fire and began refining again according to the instructions!
