Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 541 Elixir

"Alright, let's begin!" the pharmacy owner said calmly.

The shopkeeper then gently clenched his hand, and the previously calm purple herbs instantly turned to ash and disappeared into the air.

"Phew!" As the herbs disappeared, fine beads of sweat appeared on Xu Yao's forehead.

The pain I just experienced was no less than being burned or roasted on fire.

"It hurts!" Xu Yao couldn't help but gasp, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

"Hang in there, this is just the beginning," the pharmacy owner said calmly.

"Now I will infuse you with a stream of heat. If you can endure it, the excruciating pain in your body will be completely resolved."

"But if you don't make it through, your injuries will become more and more serious, and eventually you won't be able to heal yourself."

"Don't worry, I'll get through this!" Xu Yao said through gritted teeth.

"Ah That's good."

The pharmacy owner nodded slightly, then made a hand seal with both hands.

With his lips slightly parted, a stream of intense heat flowed from Xu Yao's right hand into his palm.

A thunderous sound erupted from Xu Yao's right palm.

Immediately, a wave of intense heat surged from Xu Yao's right palm and spread outwards.

With a loud bang, a huge shockwave swept out.

The herb garden of the pharmacy was instantly ruined by the shockwave.

Much of the soil, branches, and other debris were blown into the air.

Xu Yao's left hand also trembled at the same time, and a pale look appeared on his face.

However, his left hand still firmly gripped the formula for the Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill.

"Haha! Kid, now you know I wasn't lying!"

"This Nine Orifices Rejuvenation Pill is far more precious than the previous medicinal herb!"

"Besides this Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill, your current strength is also due to your exceptional talent and comprehension!" the pharmacy owner laughed heartily.

"Although I can only refine one batch now, I believe it won't take too long."

"You'll be able to refine a second batch, a third batch, or even more batches with ease."

"So what do I need to do now?" Xu Yao asked with some anticipation.

The pharmacy owner chuckled softly, "Little one, now you just need to wait patiently."

"The Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill that is fusing in your left palm is no ordinary Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill."

“If you use this Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill, you will definitely be taking on a huge risk.”

"If your hand is destroyed, your life will end here. This is your greatest opportunity!"

Xu Yao nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

He could see the seriousness in the pharmacy owner's eyes, and what the pharmacy owner said was the absolute truth.

If he fails, then even if he comes back to life, he will be a useless person.

"Alright, let's get started now! I also need to start refining pills, but the pills I refine will be of a higher grade."

"So be prepared to suffer, because your right hand will become extremely painful."

"I will try my best!" Xu Yao said, taking a deep breath.

"Hmm." The shopkeeper nodded slightly, then began to concentrate on controlling the medicinal herbs.

A blazing black flame gradually emerged from Xu Yao's arm, and as the flame burned...

A thin layer of scales slowly began to appear on the surface of my right hand.

These scales, like dragon scales, emitted a faint black light.

"Hiss!" A soft hiss suddenly reached Xu Yao's ears, and Xu Yao's body jolted.

He immediately focused his attention on his right hand.

A thin layer of black scales also appeared on the back of his hand.

Xu Yao saw all of this clearly, and that's why he became even more afraid.

He knew very well what he had in his hands.

That's the bloodline of the demon race, which only exists in legends!

Once the bloodline of the demon race appears, it means that he will become a legendary monster.

And this monster's strength will reach an extremely terrifying level.

This was a very dangerous sign, and Xu Yao didn't know if his luck would be exceptionally good.

But this time, he has to give it his all!

Two low, mournful roars rang out simultaneously, accompanied by these two roars.

A strong smell of blood instantly filled the air, and Xu Yao's eyes widened suddenly, followed by a sharp contraction in his pupils.

He saw two ferocious beasts, their bodies pitch black, tens of meters tall, with sharp fangs and covered in black scales!

"Roar!" This was a huge crocodile, but it was also somewhat ugly.

It has a single horn on its head, the tip of which gleams with a cold light.

The moment Xu Yao saw the crocodile, a legend came to mind.

Legend has it that in ancient times, a very powerful demon race appeared, which once slaughtered millions of humans.

He was later killed by a group of martial arts practitioners, and this demon was wearing this single horn on his head when he died.

This crocodile must be the king of crocodiles, and this crocodile is the legendary ferocious and tyrannical king of the demon race!

Upon seeing Xu Yao, the Crocodile King immediately raised its head and roared angrily.

As its roar rang out, it leaped up from the ground and pounced on Xu Yao.

Its scales emitted a dazzling black light, and its entire body looked as if it were cast in steel, exuding a savage and domineering aura.

A burst of crimson light suddenly erupted from Xu Yao's left palm.

As the crimson light burst forth, the surrounding temperature instantly increased several times over!

The surrounding stone slabs were instantly burned to ashes.

At the same time, a powerful attraction emanated from Xu Yao's palm, and Xu Yao's entire arm rapidly moved closer to the pill.

The pill looked like a giant egg, but the shell was covered with a thick layer of moss.

Xu Yao's arm slammed hard against the egg, and a crisp sound rang out.

Xu Yao also took several steps back.

He felt as if his entire arm was about to be burned.

"Hiss!" Xu Yao gasped in pain, then he once again channeled his inner strength to shatter the outer shell of the pill completely.

The pill was covered with a layer of viscous mucus, which also had a foul odor.

Fortunately, the pill had already been fully absorbed into Xu Yao's body; otherwise, Xu Yao would not have been able to withstand the pungent stench.

This pill is also of very high quality; it is actually a fifth-order, nine-turn Rejuvenation Pill.

"Alright, you have successfully passed my test this time. Next, I will teach you a set of repair techniques," the pharmacy owner said to Xu Yao.
