Chapter 185 Chemical Synthesis Alchemy
After the Nascent Soul Ceremony, Huaizhu and Zhang Wei, led by the two Nascent Souls Yuan Bin and Yi Ying, came to the depths of Venus Island.
This is Zhang Wei's first time to visit the fourth-level spiritual veins deep in Venus Island.
Although it is far inferior to the fifth-level spiritual veins in the Cangyun Secret Realm, the richness of the spiritual energy far exceeds that of the Zhuxin Valley where Zhang Wei was before.
And the air is filled with the refreshing fragrance of medicine.
Just one sip of it makes you feel refreshed.
But there are not many living people in this fourth-level spiritual vein.
Except for a few transformed spirit beasts and monsters who serve as attendants, the entire spiritual line only consists of two Nascent Soul monks, Yuan Bin and Yi Ying.
All because this is not only a place where Venus Island supports Nascent Soul monks, but also a place where elixirs are cultivated. Every year, many high-level elixirs on Venus Island are refined from here and then sold.
If there are too many monks living here, it will also affect the concentration of spiritual energy in the spiritual veins, thus affecting the harvest of elixirs.
But now that Huaizhu has broken through to Nascent Soul, she is naturally qualified to live here and open up a cave as her own dojo.
Compared with the benefits lost due to the decrease in the concentration of spiritual energy, the help that a Nascent Soul Master brings to Venus Island is greater.
At this moment, Huaizhu was pulling Zhang Wei to sit in front of the two elders Yuan Bin and Yi Ying, and a strange atmosphere emerged from the four of them.
"It feels like meeting parents..."
Feeling the scrutinizing gazes from Yuan Bin and Yi Ying, Zhang Wei thought in his heart.
After a long time, Yuan Bin withdrew his scrutiny of Zhang Wei and sighed deeply, as melancholy as an old father watching a cabbage get eaten by a passing wild boar.
Then he said: "I won't say anything unnecessary. I call you Huaizhu today just to congratulate you.
You have broken through the Nascent Soul. As the owner of the island and also your master, I cannot remain indifferent.
I originally thought of preparing a fifth-level magic weapon for you, Huaizhu, to protect you, but I didn't expect that your net worth, Huaizhu, is higher than that of an old man like me, so the two of us won't show off our shame. "
"Master, what are you talking about? If it weren't for the blessing of Master and Master, Huaizhu would have become someone else's plaything. How could he have cultivated to the level he is today? How dare he still expect magic weapons?" Huaizhu immediately bowed and worshiped.
"Speaking of which, the reason why this disciple was able to defeat Lei Teng was entirely due to Zijie's contribution."
With that said, Huaizhu looked at Zhang Wei.
Yuan Bin and Yi Ying also looked at Zhang Wei curiously when they heard this.
Zhang Wei was stunned.
What does it have to do with me?
Huaizhu said with a smile: "The reason why the disciple has two fifth-level magic weapons to protect the way is all because Zijie broke into a secret place regardless of his own danger. All these magic weapons for the disciple were brought by Zijie! If it weren't for this incident , and he won’t come back just now.”
"That's it!" I didn't expect you, Xiaofan, to be so lucky. "
Yuan Bin and Yi Ying sighed, dispelling their doubts at the same time.
In this way, the origin of the Huaizhu treasure makes sense.
Even Zhang Wei's fourth-level mid-level body-refining skills were explained.
Asking is an opportunity!
"Zijie, you are actually willing to share such a valuable treasure with Huaizhu. It really impresses me!" Yuan Bin stroked his beard and smiled, looking at Zhang Wei with a much kinder look than before.
"In this case, we, the masters, are embarrassed and have no expression at all."
With that said, Yuan Bin waved his hand, and a green alchemy furnace exuding powerful spiritual power flew out of his sleeves, attracting Zhang Wei and Huaizhu's side glances.
The grade of this alchemy furnace has impressively reached the fifth-grade mid-grade level!
An alchemy furnace of this level is a valuable treasure for any fifth-level alchemist!
Yuan Bin said: "This is Qinglin. It has been used by me before. Now I will give it to you!"
Huaizhu hurriedly declined after hearing this, but Yuan Bin said with a smile: "Huaizhu, you are very talented in alchemy, but unfortunately you have been limited by longevity before. Your alchemy cultivation has been stuck at the fourth-level mid-level. Now it is broken." Jing Yuanying has a lifespan of three thousand years, so he has enough time to improve his alchemy level."
Then he sighed and said: "And if your alchemy level has improved, and there are successors on Venus Island, I can feel free to climb to a higher level!"
"master……"
Seeing Yuan Bin's emotional look, Huaizhu stopped refusing.
Yuan Bin's current life span is over 2,000 years old.
Although he still has more than a thousand years to live, the road to immortality becomes more and more difficult as he goes up. No one dares to say that he, who was so amazing and talented when he was young, can easily break through in old age.
"Okay, we old man and old woman will not disturb the reunion of you and your young couple, but you must also know that Wenrou Township is the Tomb of Heroes, and you must not indulge in it and slacken your practice!"
Yi Ying on the side laughed inexplicably, teasing Huaizhu and Zhang Wei during his words, which made Huaizhu's face turn red.
But at this point, Huaizhu and Zhang Wei also knew that it was time to resign, so they both bowed to the two seniors, then turned and left.
"Xiao Fan."
Zhang Wei, who was about to leave, heard Yi Ying's call. When he looked back, he saw Yi Ying moving his finger, and a stream of light flew directly into his hand.
"Your body is much more tyrannical than Huaizhu, so be gentler to Huaizhu." Yi Ying said with a smile.
Zhang Wei paused and looked distractedly at the inside of the jade slip. The content inside made both his theory and the actual veteran blush.
"The Eighteen Movements of Hehuan? Is this the secret method of dual cultivation?"
Zhang Wei felt a knot in his heart and didn't know whether he should vomit.
But he still accepted it, bowed to Yi Ying, and then followed Huaizhu and left here.
After leaving Yuan Bin Yiying's residence, Huaizhu took Zhang Wei on the way to his new cave and asked, "Zijie, what are your plans next?"
"Just practice as usual..."
Zhang Wei spread his hands and said.
He is different now.
Now that his natal magic weapon has been completed, and there are three Nascent Soul Lords as backers, it can be said that there is no one with a stronger background than him in the surrounding sea areas.
Even if he returns to the Five Realms, Zhang Wei is qualified to call himself the strongest second generation cultivator.
After all, even among the five major sects, the strongest one individually only has two Nascent Soul Lords in charge.
Coupled with the many cultivation resources obtained from the Cangyun Secret Realm and his own life span of more than a thousand years, Zhang Wei can say that he will not have to rush forward like many of his fellow travelers for five to six hundred years.
He just needs to practice step by step.
When the next weakening period of Biyuan Sea comes, he can return to the Five Realms in glory to meet his relatives, friends and old friends.
Huaizhu thought for a while and asked, "Then can you do me a favor?"
Zhang Wei immediately said: "Master, tell me, even if you ask me to go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire, I will definitely help you do it beautifully!"
"There is no need for you to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, my master is still here!" Huaizhu rolled his eyes at Zhang Wei, then poked Zhang Wei's forehead with his slender fingers, his actions were very affectionate.
Then he said: "My master was taken care of by your two masters when I was young. Now that I have broken through the Nascent Soul, I naturally have to share the worries for them.
In this way, the two elders will have more time to reach higher realms.
However, my master's current alchemy level is only the fourth-level mid-level, which is far inferior to your two masters. Even if I can accumulate a lot of knowledge, it still takes some time to practice.
During this period, a lot of high-level elixirs will be consumed, and it will also be a burden on my mana, so I want you, Zijie, to assist me in refining the elixir for a while. "
"I will assist you, master, in refining elixirs?"
Zhang Wei was startled and asked: "Although I can also refine some elixirs, my level is only the third-level first-grade product. Can I help you, master?"
"I don't need you to help me make pills directly."
Huaizhu's face looked particularly rosy when he said this, and said: "Zijie, you just need to hold me from behind. I need to use your body to improve the quality of my magic power and the level of spiritual control. In this way, Come, I can make alchemy with twice the result with half the effort, and maybe I can save a lot of high-level elixirs."
"I understand, let me be a pendant."
Zhang Wei understood, nodded and agreed.
But... holding Huaizhu behind his back.
Zhang Wei couldn't help but picture himself, who was 1.4 meters tall, holding Master Huaizhu's plump body behind his back...
Forget it, it's better than being held by Master Huaizhu.
"By the way, this is for you..."
At this time, Huaizhu waved his hand, and the ten Thunder Holy Origin Fruits he obtained from Lei Teng flew in front of Zhang Wei.
"This is the Holy Source Fruit of Thunder, which can strengthen the source of thunder in the body of a Leifa monk. Although in your situation, Zijie, this Holy Source Fruit will have little effect on you, these ten fruits are also the icing on the cake.
It's a pity that I don't have the recipe for the Thunder Holy Source Pill. It would be a waste if I use these spiritual fruits in my hands for experiments. So Zijie, just take it and refine it. After refining, come to my alchemy room to find me. . "
"OK."
Zhang Wei nodded, took the Holy Origin Fruit, and walked straight into the Thunder Palace of the Mountain Moving Picture. He bathed in the sea of thunder and liquid in the Thunder Palace. After improving his condition to the best, he took out a He took a bite of the Thundering Holy Origin Fruit.
Gudong————
After taking a few mouthfuls of the spiritual fruit, Zhang Wei felt a majestic thunder-attributed spiritual power spread out in his Dantian, washing his limbs and bones like a trickle.
At the same time, Zhang Wei also felt that the Five Elements Zhiyang Thunder in his body also expanded a little under the influence of this force.
Although there is only a trace, considering Zhang Wei's current state, this trace is enough to be worth his two months of hard work.
If it were other thunder magic elixirs, this Holy Origin Fruit could save them several years of hard work!
"As expected of the Thundering Holy Origin Fruit! Even if it is resistant to medicine, if I take it daily, I can break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of the golden elixir in less than a month. If I refine it into the Thundering Holy Origin Pill, I can still survive in this time. Shorter."
Then Zhang Wei looked at the remaining nine spiritual fruits and thought to himself: "It would be great if there was Old Devil Han's little green bottle. In that case, as long as there are seeds of these spiritual medicines, I can produce them indefinitely.
In that case, you no longer have to worry about cultivation resources in the future. When the time comes, hundreds and thousands of Thunder Holy Origin Fruits will be directly spawned, allowing Master Huaizhu to conduct experiments every day. "
Sigh... It’s another day to envy other protagonists’ cheats.
Why do I only have a library in my head?
Zhang Wei lamented in his heart and subconsciously wanted to throw out the core of the Holy Origin Fruit in his hand.
But at this moment, his movements suddenly stopped.
Then he frowned and placed the core of the Holy Origin Fruit in front of his eyes.
Just now, an idea flashed in his mind and he thought of a possibility.
Then I looked through the library books in my mind and found a book on modern medicine and pharmaceuticals.
Zhang Wei suddenly remembered that all the elixirs in the world of immortality were refined based on various elixirs.
This seems like nonsense.
But it's different when combined with the contents of the book in Zhang Wei's hand.
Zhang Wei discovered that whether it was fire-refining or water-washed elixir, they were essentially the traditional raw material refining methods recorded in books.
As for the production methods and requirements of raw materials, Zhang Wei discovered many shortcomings and constraints while reading the book, which coincided with the process and troubles of alchemists.
For example, the production process is long and the process is complex; each product requires many types of raw materials and auxiliary materials, and various dangers are prone to occur due to intermediate materials during the refining process, and the net yield of materials is low, etc. shortcomings.
Moreover, in the world of immortal cultivation, these shortcomings are further amplified with the scarcity of high-level elixirs.
Because the higher-level elixirs are harder to find, and the growing conditions are more stringent.
In the world of cultivating immortals, people often kill people and seize treasures for a magical medicine.
Just like this, it is not uncommon for the elixirs that cultivators have worked so hard to pick to be used to make elixirs, but the alchemists may not guarantee success, and end up losing all their personal wealth.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei couldn't help but think.
Since the method of making alchemy from raw materials is so troublesome, can I try the method of chemical synthesis?
Zhang Wei is not out of touch with his wild thoughts.
He has a basis for this.
From very early on, when Zhang Wei led his family to develop mealworm pills, he had thought about the essence of pills and elixirs.
Is it aura?
Although spiritual energy is good, it is not omnipotent. In the final analysis, it is just energy. At most, it serves as a catalyst to further enhance the efficacy of the medicine, rather than the fundamental reason that determines the efficacy of the elixir.
If spiritual energy can cure all diseases, then immortal cultivators don’t need to take pills when they are injured, and they don’t have to run around looking for opportunities to make breakthroughs. Wouldn’t it be better to just absorb spiritual energy all the time?
So when Zhang Wei used mealworm protein to replace the chicken, duck and beef that had been commonly used in the world of immortality, and saw more and more old prescriptions being replaced by new prescriptions, Zhang Wei understood.
This world is material after all.
The essence of alchemy is to extract the substances that need to be used in many elixirs, and then fuse them to form the so-called elixir.
Rather than the so-called spiritual energy pills.
But having said all that, Zhang Wei is not saying that this method cannot work.
After all, I have been practicing this way for countless years while cultivating the alchemy path in the immortal world.
But this method is too inefficient!
Moreover, this method of alchemy is greatly affected by the raw materials.
In a single elixir, the alchemist may only need one or two grams of the substance, but this requires immortal cultivators to fight tooth and nail to grab it and cultivate it, and the rest are just so-called impurities.
Moreover, the efficacy of elixirs will vary slightly due to different growth environments, which will lead to different difficulties in making elixirs each time.
In addition, each alchemist has more or less his own private habits, so it is difficult for the world of immortality to form a large-scale and systematic elixir production line.
Because what industrialization requires is unity, and the personal habits of the alchemist will destroy this, people in the subsequent processes will not be able to form an effective connection with the previous process.
Therefore, even if those big forces maintain thousands of alchemists, they still will not have a production method similar to an assembly line.
More often than not, each of them has swept away the snow and formed a so-called small workshop alliance, relying on its size advantage to crush individual alchemy masters.
But if he has insight into the composition of these substances and then uses chemical methods to synthesize these substances, then Zhang Wei can form industrialized production and then crush the old pill production model of these small workshop consortium production models.
How can workshop-style production efficiency and quality control compare to industrial assembly line production?
Of course, the initial R&D costs will definitely be high.
But if it succeeds, Zhang Wei's income will definitely be an astronomical figure!
And it’s an endless supply!
Zhang Wei is well aware of the huge profits in the pharmaceutical industry!
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei became more and more excited and directly explained his thoughts to Huaizhu who was preparing to make alchemy.
Huaizhu was also stunned after hearing this. Hundreds of years of experience in alchemy made her first reaction to this was that this was impossible.
In the world of immortality for who knows how many years, elixirs have been refined using the raw material alchemy method mentioned by Zijie. Now Zijie suddenly proposed a so-called chemical synthesis alchemy method.
It would be too fanciful to use the so-called chemical synthesis method to mass-produce those precious elixirs.
If someone else had raised this point in front of her, she would have probably yelled at them and told them to get out.
Listening to any more of his words is a waste of your time.
But Zhang Wei is different.
He called me master!
Can you imagine a scene where a 1.4-meter young lady holds her own whims and whims like a treasure, and helps her, the master, to solve problems?
Which master would have the heart to refuse?
Huaizhu couldn't refuse anyway.
She made up her mind, even if she felt that the method proposed by Zhang Wei would not work, she would have to help Zhang Wei.
It doesn’t matter if you fail.
As a master, she is just the right person to comfort and comfort the apprentice who is suffering from shock!
However, Huaizhu was still confused: "Is this... possible?"
Zhang Wei thought Huaizhu was attracted, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "You have to try! If it succeeds, our master and apprentice will make a fortune!"
Huaizhu thought about it and agreed: "Okay, but I still have a question."
Zhang Wei asked doubtfully: "What question?"
Huaizhu said solemnly: "Zijie, you have to tell me what chemistry is?"
Zhang Wei: "..."
Helplessly, Zhang Wei had to temporarily turn the tables and explain the basic knowledge of chemistry in his mind to Huaizhu, the teacher, as a disciple in the language of the Xiuxian world.
Fortunately, Zhang Wei's cultivation has reached the early stage of the Golden Core, and his divine consciousness is comparable to the Infant Transformation Realm. It is still easy to translate some basic knowledge points.
But what makes Zhang Wei strange is Huaizhu.
Obviously, as a Yuanying Zhenjun, his divine consciousness is stronger than him, but for some reason he can't understand some basic chemical knowledge, so that he has to explain it again and again before he can slowly understand the key points.
After thinking about it, Zhang Wei had to attribute the reason to the special environment of the Xiuxian world.
As a native, Huaizhu still has more than 2,000 years of life, but he has an innate resistance to some things that are against "common sense".
Just like Zhang Wei's previous life, many people were afraid of new products after they were over 35 years old. Not only did they not accept them, but they even thought they were things that would bring disaster to the country and the people.
In the world of immortal cultivation, this situation is even more obvious.
After all, the life span of many old people is longer than that of most newcomers!
Even if a few talented newcomers finally reach the same level as the old people, they are also a new generation of old people. Even if they had wonderful ideas when they were young, they would be forgotten in a corner of their memory under the erosion of time.
Even if they remembered it after they achieved something, in front of the foundation they have already achieved, how many of them would give up the smooth road that countless people have walked on, and choose to spend a lot of time and take risks to take this road with an uncertain future?
Even the Tianjiao from a big power does not have much trial and error cost on the road of cultivation.
Even Zhang Wei dared to make such a bold suggestion based on the hundreds of years of hard work of countless people in his previous life.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why new things in the world of immortal cultivation are difficult to emerge and develop very slowly.
My future self personally killed my once infinitely creative self and became a so-called mature person.
Zhang Wei thought so in his heart.
