Chapter 253: Refining Medicine in the Workshop and Distinguishing the Spirit in the Elixir
A few days later.
Lin Chen is still in Ruyuefang City.
But at this moment, he was sitting in a huge underground room, with Xu Mengyun standing beside him, and beside him were a large number of elixirs transported from behind.
During this period of time, Lin Chen has been staying in Ruyuefang City, and this is also the arrangement of the sect.
However, it was not so much an arrangement as it was the Qingyun Sect. For a while, they didn’t know how to arrange Lin Chen.
After all, in the Qingyun Sect, the true disciples are second only to the Jindan Patriarch. They are the foundation and hope of the sect's future.
In terms of status, he is on an equal footing with the leaders and sect leaders of the major factions.
Therefore, there is no such thing as mutual command and control between them.
If it hadn't been for the Jindan Patriarch to take the lead in arranging for everyone to obey the orders of the sect master before the war started, I'm afraid there would have been many internal orders before the war started.
But even so, the leader of the Qingyun Sect cannot forcefully order every true disciple. He can only exchange and coordinate with the three elders of the faction through benefits.
Otherwise, Zhang Hao would have left the front line without authorization, which would have been a crime of desertion, but he could still rest in the rear. How could it be such a good thing?
Just because of his status as a true disciple, as long as he doesn't obviously betray the sect, everything can be discussed.
And Lin Chen is the same.
Therefore, Zhuang Yuanzhang, the leader of Qingyun Sect, felt very embarrassed because Lin Chen had disappeared from the sect for more than 20 years, but several Jindan Patriarchs ignored him.
But he came back at this time when the Golden Pill Patriarch was restrained and had no time to control, so he didn't know how to deal with Lin Chen's matter.
After thinking about it, I decided not to deal with it at all until the Patriarch returned.
In addition, Lin Chen said that he could help the front line make alchemy, so the leader Zhuang Yuanzhang simply followed the trend and arranged an alchemy task for Lin Chen.
"Junior brother, can you refine so many elixirs?"
Xu Mengyun looked at the hundreds of boxes on the ground and the large number of elixirs placed in them, and couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry." Lin Chen carefully sensed the Qi Gathering Pill in his hand and responded casually, "My alchemy skills are among the best in the land of Lingnan."
"Although there are thousands of elixirs to be refined, no one stipulates that elixirs must be refined in one furnace."
Xu Mengyun was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand what Lin Chen said, but she didn't think much about it. Instead, she complained: "Sect Master, it's true. Junior brother is a true disciple after all. Just arranging alchemy like this is overkill, isn't it?"
"Refining alchemy in the rear is also a good job." Lin Chen said with a smile, "It's like going to the battlefield. After all, my little arms and legs can't stand the torment."
"Yes..." Xu Mengyun pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
After all, refining elixirs at the rear is hard and tiring, but it is better than going to the battlefield and experiencing a life-and-death crisis, resulting in loss of life.
And this is Lin Chen's idea. He will never go directly to the battlefield unless necessary.
"The grass and trees restore their vitality, the Guishui contains spiritual energy, and a little thick soil builds the mysterious energy? No, that's not right. It seems that the latter was mixed in due to improper refining..."
At this time, Lin Chen retracted his smile and carefully observed the pill he needed to refine in his hand.
"Junior brother, what are you doing?" Seeing Lin Chen's move, Xu Mengyun couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Oh, I am trying to identify the type of spiritual energy contained in this pill." Lin Chen replied casually.
"Type of spiritual energy?" Xu Mengyun didn't know why, "Junior brother, why did you do this?"
"Of course it's alchemy." Lin Chen replied matter-of-factly.
"Alchemy?!" Xu Mengyun was stunned and said in surprise, "Alchemy does not require any medicine and does not cause fire. Why study the spiritual energy in this elixir?"
Lin Chen glanced at her and patiently explained: "The essence of alchemy is actually to extract the spiritual energy you need from the world. It is basically the use of spiritual energy."
"As long as I understand the main types of spiritual energy in this elixir, I can extract it directly from heaven and earth without the need for herbs."
"Huh?!" Xu Mengyun opened her eyes wide after hearing this, with a look of surprise on her face, "In that case, wouldn't it mean that junior brother can refine whatever elixir he wants? Or even No need for elixirs, just draw them from heaven and earth!”
"It's not as simple as you think." After hearing this, Lin Chen shook his head, "Low-level elixirs are okay, the main components are only one or two types of spiritual energy, but when it comes to high-level elixirs, there are several types. Ten different types of aura mixed together.”
"I'm afraid even I can't figure out the complex changes and various possibilities derived from it."
He continued: "Not to mention, there may be some types of spiritual energy that are difficult to observe and are extremely rare in the world. If that is the case, I can't deal with it."
Xu Mengyun frowned when she heard this and said: "Aren't there only seven types of spiritual energy in the world, Yin Yang, Five Elements?"
"Pfft!" Lin Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Yin Yang and Five Elements, these are just the most basic attributes of spiritual energy. If you look more closely, there are countless divisions."
"For example, in the fire aura, there is the life spirit fire aura that nourishes all things, there is the earth evil molten fire aura coming out of the volcano, and there is the mysterious red lotus karma fire aura..."
"Just the attribute of flame, in terms of heat, light, burning, etc., there are different characteristics of fire aura, not to mention, when two or three attributes of aura are mixed in different aspects..."
In the world of immortal cultivation, most cultivators think that fire aura is fire aura, but they don't think about it. Just spiritual fire has different characteristics, not to mention fire attribute aura.
It can be said that the characteristics of fire attribute aura alone in different places can be thousands of kinds, not to mention the fusion of several attribute aura.
Therefore, this spiritual world can have so many colorful changes, all because the aura itself has many differences in subtlety.
Of course, this makes this world more colorful, but it will also make the practice of high-level cultivators more difficult.
After all, according to Lin Chen's guess, mastering the same points in the fire aura with the same attribute but different characteristics, and mastering the changes of aura of the corresponding attribute, should be the practice of the Nascent Soul stage.
‘In fact, it is just like the particles in the previous life. Simple hydrogen and oxygen particles can form different substances, or hydrogen particles alone can have several combinations...’
‘But then again, the scientists in the previous life studied particle combinations, and the cultivators in this life studied the changes in spiritual energy. The paths they took are really similar...’
‘But so many types of spiritual energy have also brought me a lot of trouble. ’
‘Because I want to study the essence of spiritual energy, I must master a large number of different types of spiritual energy to find common points. ’
‘Just like the scientists in the previous life, who unified the electromagnetic force, gravity, strong and weak interaction forces into one formula...’
‘I must constantly analyze the types of spiritual energy to master the most fundamental changes in spiritual energy, but this is not as simple as a big project...’
Thinking of this, Lin Chen sighed softly, but he quickly put his attention back to the present.
It's time to make the elixir.
