Chapter 129 The Secret of the Golden Elixir

Inside the laboratory, in the blood pool.

As if a gust of wind blew, the blood pool stirred up waves, and countless blood poisonous insects kept wriggling on the surface of the pool, devouring various nutrients to give birth to flesh and blood.

In the center of the blood pool, there was a green and dripping spiritual leaf floating, and on the spiritual leaf, there was a virtual and real golden elixir suspended.

Although he got a complete golden elixir, Lin Chen found a very critical problem. With his current ability, he couldn't disassemble it for research.

He originally wanted to directly extract the golden elixir source, but it still didn't work.

Lin Chen also tried to remove the spiritual leaf used to store the golden elixir using the method given by Changqing Zhenren.

But after removing it, the golden elixir immediately collapsed, and even formed a storm of spiritual energy, which overloaded his laboratory formation and almost collapsed.

If he hadn't reacted in time and immediately used his backup when he saw something wrong and resealed it, I'm afraid I don't know what would happen.

Direct disassembly and extraction are not possible. In desperation, Lin Chen can only try to use indirect observation methods, use other things to react with the golden elixir, collect data, build models, infer the secrets inside, and then verify them.

When the golden elixir reacted with other spiritual objects, Lin Chen unexpectedly discovered that the data and phenomena provided by its reaction with the blood pool seemed to be the most valuable for research.

For example, at this moment, in the blood pool, the golden elixir on the spiritual leaf was emitting a faint light.

Even if it was preserved by special means, it only greatly delayed its existence, and it was still constantly disintegrating.

And the spiritual energy that disintegrated, after being downgraded and diffused, continued to merge into the blood pool below.

After receiving these spiritual energies, the blood poison, blood and flesh in the blood pool continued to mutate and form various organs.

Heart, lungs, liver, brain... and tail!

Lin Chen dissected and studied these organs, collected corresponding data, built models, and then compared them with the basic templates of races summarized by his dissection of various species over the years.

Then he was somewhat surprised to find that the source of these organs seemed to be similar to a very common monster in the Lingnan Xiuxian land.

The name of this monster is called [Tongbi Demon Ape].

This is a monkey monster that lives in groups. It is cruel and cunning by nature. It is one of the main threatening tribes around the major immortal cities under the Qingyun Sect.

Among them, there are some gifted people who can learn the cultivator's body training method and train an indestructible body. With the racial talent, they are the best in combat power among the same level.

As far as Lin Chen knows, thirty years ago, Qingyang Zhenren launched an expedition and killed a monster in the Hengduan Mountains in the northeast of Lingnan Xiuxian world. It was the Tongtian Demon Ape.

And the golden elixir in Lin Chen's hand also came from this monster.

At this moment, the spiritual energy overflowing from the golden elixir, after being integrated into the blood pool, entangled with each other, actually derived the corresponding organs of the monster.

Originally, Lin Chen thought that the cultivator just engraved his consciousness into the spiritual energy, but now it seems that it is more than that.

Not only will the cultivator integrate his own consciousness into the aura, it seems that he will also write all the information related to his body race into it.

So even if he is promoted to a high level, he is called the human and demon race, and is not collectively called the aura race. Is it because of this reason?

When the cultivator blends with the aura, he will also write all the information of his body into it, so as to anchor his identity, rather than becoming a wisp of changing aura?

"This feeling is a bit similar to the cells in the previous life. Aura is a stem cell with various evolutionary directions. The information injected by the cultivator is equivalent to the inherited genes, so as to ensure its normal development, and it will not be disordered like cancer cells..."

"Then if the origin of the golden elixir is equivalent to stem cells, the golden elixir is equivalent to the embryo?"

"The foundation-building period is divided into [Condensation], [Refining], and [Purple Mansion]. In these three processes, is it to engrave the information represented by the three elements of the cultivator's spirit, energy, and spirit into the aura, and then integrate these three types of information to form a cultivator with the information of the self. Spiritual embryo, that is, the golden elixir? "

"With this spiritual embryo with its own information, it will develop normally into a spiritual creature, and will not become some weird evil thing."

"So this is also the reason why the golden elixir cultivators can [take over]? Because the golden elixir records the information of their original body, even if they change a body, they can still influence the body they take over through spiritual energy, so as to meet their own requirements. "

"This process is equivalent to injecting the genes of one organism into the stem cells of another organism in the previous life?"

Lin Chen stroked his chin, thinking.

And Lin Chen also saw in the classics that the golden elixir cultivator can mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and its power is not comparable to that of the Qi Refining and Foundation Building cultivators.

And the power of heaven and earth in this world, in the final analysis, is spiritual energy.

Although Qi Refining and Foundation Building can also mobilize spiritual energy, they just use spiritual roots to dye it with their own breath, so as to forcibly control it.

This process is equivalent to using a machine to operate the movement of an atom, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and difficult to control.

But the golden elixir cultivators are different. They are already spiritual energy in nature, so they can control other spiritual energy with ease, just like using one's arm to control one's fingers.

Just like when a machine affects particles, it still needs to use various magnetic fields and electric fields, while when particles affect particles, they only need to collide and approach each other. The latter is much more convenient and easier to control than the former.

Of course, these are Lin Chen's conjectures, but with conjectures, there will naturally be a direction. With a direction, once the experiment proves it, it will become an accurate conclusion.

"No wonder this world also has a similar saying [Once a golden pill is swallowed, my life is determined by me, not by God]."

"Because whether it is Qi Refining or Foundation Building, they are essentially mortals. Even if there is spiritual energy to nourish the body, they can only live to the limit of the human lifespan in this world, which is more than 200 years, and cannot transcend."

"But after achieving the golden elixir, the essence is already spiritual energy. What determines its lifespan is no longer the body, but the change in the activity of spiritual energy in the body."

"As long as the activity does not drop to a certain level, all the information stored in the spiritual energy by the cultivator flows out, then the cultivator can continue to exist."

Lin Chen picked up a pile of experimental data in his hand.

This is the data obtained by analyzing the top-grade spiritual stone he got from the storage ring given by Changqing Zhenren.

According to his analysis and the deduction of the model, the time required for the energy level and activity of this top-grade spirit stone to decrease is about... about one thousand years.

And the life span of a Jindan cultivator is about eight hundred years.

"Can the key to determining one's own life span be changed from cells to spiritual energy, so as to achieve the so-called immortality?"

Lin Chen couldn't help but think of some taboo experiments that some crazy scientists in his previous life did for immortality.

Take out the human brain, make corresponding neural sensing instruments, replace the flesh and blood body with machinery, and pursue immortality in a certain sense.

But the machine itself also has a service life. Through continuous replacement, it can only live longer than the flesh and blood body, but no one knows whether it can withstand the test of tens of millions of years.

And how much difference is there between changing the key to determining one's own life span from flesh and blood to machines and the cultivator changing the key to determining one's own life span from cells to spiritual energy?

"No matter how it changes, it can only be weak flesh and blood, and have to ascend to machinery, spiritual energy, particles or energy?" Lin Chen's eyelids drooped slightly.

He couldn't think of any other way to do this, because even the so-called rebirth by dripping blood and the indestructible body are essentially the characteristics of using spiritual energy to transform all things.

The same is true for the cells in the previous life. No matter how they change, don't they need various substances and stars to provide energy?

Unless they fall into a deep sleep like jellyfish, they simply don't have the conditions to survive without relying on external objects.

"Alas." Lin Chen sighed softly and put this idea aside.

"Now that I know the next research direction, I roughly know how to go."
