Chapter 342: Alchemy No one knows what happened, it's just...
No one knew what happened, but suddenly one day, crystal tears fell from the sky and turned into countless transparent but surprisingly large bubbles, sucking in countless sea water and marine life.
After entering, everything turned into foam and dissolved into the sea water.
When the bubble stops expanding and is filled with sea water again, it will explode with a bang, and the sea water inside will completely disappear, as if it never existed at all.
Such crystal tears fell for three whole months, covering a large area of ocean and islands. All marine life suffered, including the mirage clan, and only one in ten survived.
The water monsters were not spared either, and most of them died. The rest fled to the gathering place of the monsters on the mainland and barely escaped everything.
But the mirages and sea beasts that cannot leave the sea can only stay where they are and wait for death in despair.
Finally one day, a member of the Mirage Clan discovered that he did not die after being sucked into the Crystal Tear Bubble, but was able to stay there for a long time. The reason was that he carried a formation plate with him, which protected him.
The formation plate came from the Wen family, a family of human cultivators. The Mirage Clan acted decisively and sought cooperation with the Wen family's formation masters, asking them to help set up a large formation in the bubble so that they would have a place to stay.
The Wen family gathered the strength of the entire clan and set up a huge formation on a large island. At the same time, they tried to find a way to attract the largest crystal tear bubble and suck it in.
Then they set up a formation to transfer the sea water inside to other bubbles, keeping it from being full.
Formations were also set up in the other crystal tear bubbles to pour out the excess seawater. The seawater in the remaining bubbles would be replaced back and forth, but it would never be full, and would not explode and disappear.
In this way, mirages and various sea beasts can swim freely in these bubbles. Compared with the ocean, the only difference is the difficulty of penetrating the bubbles, and the rest is no different.
These bubbles are extremely tough and magical. Some of them even contain submarine volcanoes without any damage. On the contrary, they can prevent magma from erupting and harming sea beasts in other bubbles.
The strength of the bubble depends on its size. The larger the bubble, the harder it is to penetrate. Even if there is a teleportation array, sea beasts with low cultivation cannot pass through.
Gradually, various creatures in the ocean lived separately in bubbles, and they lived and worked in peace and contentment.
The Mirage Clan temporarily lived in the largest bubble and was no longer in danger of their lives.
But for some reason, from that time on, their physical condition changed completely. Their legs, which could only stay on land for one or two months, now had to stay on land for half a year, otherwise they would feel suffocated in the sea.
In addition, the newly born Mirage Clan can switch freely between fish tails and legs from an early age and no longer need artificial modification.
But from then on they could no longer live in the deep sea and could only live between islands and shallow seas.
Moreover, after that catastrophe, the number of the Mirage Clan never recovered. Reproduction was already difficult for them, and after this incident it became even more difficult.
Perhaps the entire Haizhou Secret Realm does not exceed ten thousand.
As for how the bubble group evolved into a secret realm, that is another unsolved mystery.
This incident happened as suddenly as the Crystal Tear Bubbles. One day, the bubbles disappeared collectively, and the earth seemed to have collapsed, leaving an uncontrollable hole.
All kinds of auras in the world, such as spiritual energy, demonic energy, and demonic energy were sucked into this hole, continuously, as if returning to the abyss without restraint.
If this continues for a hundred years, the entire world will become a wasteland and lose all energy.
In order to fill this gap, everyone thought of the ocean. Isn’t the appearance of the void due to the disappearance of the ocean?
The world cannot do without the ocean, and the continent is even more indispensable!
So they figured out a way to cut out half the ocean area and marine life from the bubble to fill the hole.
Everyone succeeded. After restoring half of the ocean, the world experienced thirty years of heavy rain, which completely filled the ocean. The hole disappeared and the world returned to peace.
But after being cut, the crystal tear bubble actually gradually disappeared, and the sea water inside was teleported to other bubbles through the teleportation array.
A few years later, more than half of the bubbles disappeared, and then one night, all the bubbles disappeared overnight, along with the mirages and the remaining marine life.
Everyone was surprised and looked everywhere for it, but couldn't find it.
It was the Wen family who found the Mirage Island through the teleportation formation between the two worlds that had been reserved.
But the Mirage Clan is unwilling to return to the mainland and would rather stay in the bubble. The reason is very simple. They have tried to live in the ocean, but found that they have completely lost their fertility, but they can do so in the bubble.
So this crystal tear bubble became their final home.
After this series of changes, the Mirage Clan was no longer willing to struggle and just wanted to live in peace in a corner. Coincidentally, except for this teleportation array, no one else could find this place anyway, so they were very safe.
So the Mirage Clan and the Wen Family agreed to open the meeting once every thousand years to share what they had and exchange materials. They were also afraid that something might happen to the Crystal Tear Bubble and the Mirage Clan would be completely trapped inside.
A thousand years is exactly the lifespan of the Mirage Clan. Every generation can experience the opening of the formation once and communicate with the outside world.
So this is the real secret of the Haizhou Secret Realm, and only the aristocratic families know the cause and effect.
As for the secret realm rumored by the outside world, it is far from true.
The origin of that crystal tear bubble was strange, very much like the divine punishment that the Mirage Clan received for defying the will of heaven and changing their fate, but in the end it was this bubble that preserved the last spark of the Mirage Clan.
Moreover, according to the records of the Wei family, the world inside the bubble undergoes many changes every thousand years. It is unstable and extremely dangerous, and there are always various accidents.
Xu Hui's soul injury is a time bomb. He wants to refine more pills to protect his soul to avoid accidents.
"What about you?" Venerable Jiang Li raised his eyebrows. Wei Mubai's soul was more seriously injured than Xu Hui's. Half of it was cut off and destroyed.
"I have the Life Flower," Wei Mubai pointed at his forehead, and a seven-colored flower slowly appeared. It was the appearance of this flower that stabilized his soul, preventing him from completely dying, and allowing him to retain his cultivation in the Golden Core stage.
The spiritual power generated continuously by the Life Flower is just enough to meet the spiritual power needs of the Golden Core Stage, no more is allowed.
Therefore, he couldn't continue practicing until he solved the problem of his spirit and soul.
When Venerable Jiangli saw the seven-colored flower, he couldn't help but exclaim, "You are really lucky, kid."
But Wei Mubai felt that he might have benefited from Xu Hui. After all, only people with the maximum affinity for plants could see and obtain this divine flower with absolute spirituality.
He smiled slightly, "I haven't tried the elixir made from the Life Flower yet."
With a wave of his hand, seventeen pill recipes appeared before him. He examined them one by one and selected seven. "This is the Soul Restoring Pill, which protects the soul. This is the Soul Solidifying Pill, which stabilizes the sea of consciousness. This is the Evil-Breaking Pill, which counteracts curses and other attacks on the soul. This is the Ice-Condensing Pill, which can completely freeze the soul. Before the damage to the soul completely dissipates, it will condense into ice, waiting for a chance to revive and repair. This one is made using the same method as the Evil-Breaking Pill, but with only one ingredient modified, its efficacy is completely changed, turning it into a Curse Pill that curses the soul..."
After reading it, Venerable Jiang Li became extremely interested. "Where did you find these strange recipes? They don't mention the use of Life Flower. Are you sure this Seven-Colored Flower will work?"
"Of course," Wei Mubai said with unusual confidence, "We only need to modify a few herbs and add a few more, and we can combine it with the Life Flower to refine a pill with medicinal properties four or five times stronger."
"Okay, I'll go and prepare the herbs you need," Venerable Jiangli said enthusiastically.
The Wei family also has a large store in Wenshang City, and any medicinal materials can be delivered quickly.
But Wei Mubai just supported his forehead, and said calmly and naturally, "I don't know, I haven't started to deduce yet."
Venerable Jiangli: ...
He disappeared in an instant, leaving behind his exasperated words in the air, "If it weren't for the fact that your mind is shattered, I would have beaten you to a pulp!"
Wei Mubai smiled faintly and didn't take it seriously.
If his soul had not been injured, he would not have needed Venerable Jiangli's help.
After convincing his assistant to refine the medicine, he quietly closed his eyes and deduced the elixir over and over again in his mind.
To be honest, the injury to the soul made this process extremely difficult, and I could only rely on meditation to deduce.
Originally, he could materialize countless alchemy furnaces in his sea of consciousness to test various deduced alchemy formulas and start refining the elixirs together. It would only take a few hours for him to completely understand the formula.
Instead of doing it like we do now, where we can only theory first and then test them one by one, which wastes a lot of medicinal materials.
Of course, what he thought was a waste was not what Venerable Jiangli thought. How could it be a waste to deduce a new elixir? It was something that needed practice.
He was only happy that the Wei family had such a talent, so not long after, he came back with ten storage rings full of spiritual plants, which contained tens of thousands of medicinal herbs. Wei Mubai could find whatever he needed.
He didn't know how amazing Wei Mubai was in the past. He could deduce formations and refine pills in his sea of consciousness without wasting any materials.
This is a helpless move now.
But even so, it saves materials more than most alchemy geniuses. Who would modify the elixir or come up with a new elixir recipe without refining it over and over again before finalizing it?
Even so, most people still cannot succeed. Failure is common in the military. But Wei Mubai is different. His failure rate does not exceed 10%, and his probability of success is ten times that of others.
So when the head of the Wei family knew that his precious grandson wanted to refine a rare elixir and modify the recipe, he took out a copy of all the spiritual plants in the warehouse without saying a word, except for those that were unique or had been selected by others, and sent them to Venerable Jiang Li.
He also told him to cooperate well in refining the elixir, "My grandson is a genius who has never been born. With him here, the number of elixir recipes will definitely double, hahahaha!"
Venerable Jiang Li rolled his eyes. "Just spoil him. Do you know what he uses these things for? He uses them to make elixirs for his ex-fiancée. He never thought about you, his grandfather, and us uncles and elders."
His tone was sour, but the head of the Wei family didn't care. "If he can get his fiancée back, it will be a win for our Wei family."
"That's true," Venerable Jiangli touched his chin and thought about how to assist.
Not to mention anything else, his perfect collecting ability alone is so suitable for Wei Mubai, the genius of their Wei family!
