Chapter 54: Improved Pill Formula Returning to the Wei family, Xu Hui went into seclusion directly...
After returning to the Wei family, Xu Hui went into seclusion to consolidate her foundation. Watching Wei Mubai's competition before had helped her realize her own way, and her strength increased significantly, with spiritual energy surging in her body.
She went directly to the cave in the back mountain, sat cross-legged, and was surrounded by a faint spiritual light.
Closing his eyes and concentrating, his mind sank into his dantian, feeling the spiritual power as vast as the ocean, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. It seems that he has reached the middle stage of foundation building!
But she did not rush to break through. Instead, she patiently let the spiritual power flow slowly in her body. Each cycle seemed to be carving her body and soul.
In this process, circulating spiritual power over and over again is like communicating with them, feeling the subtle changes of spiritual power between the foundation-building stage and the Qi-refining stage.
She discovered that as her cultivation level improved, her spiritual power became more refined and powerful, but also more difficult to control.
She could only adjust and polish it over and over again, so that her mind could move as she pleased and she could mobilize any spiritual power in her body at will.
This is not something that can be accomplished directly by having high talent, but requires establishing a tacit understanding and connection with one's own body and the spiritual power flowing within it.
Only through thousands of times of practice can you become truly familiar with it and achieve precise control.
This is a slow and steady process that requires time and patience.
No wonder Wei Mubai didn't let her break through directly. Without the connections built through painstaking effort, later on, as her cultivation grew and her spiritual power became as vast as the ocean, it would be nearly impossible to feel every bit of spiritual energy within her body.
By then, her cultivation would have only improved, but she would not be able to truly integrate with nature, and her natural talent for affinity with plants would be half wasted.
Only by accurately mastering every bit of spiritual power in the body can one access and use external spiritual power at will.
This physique also has a powerful function, which is to allow oneself to integrate into nature, so that one can freely mobilize the energy of plants for one's own use.
After becoming proficient, you can even derive everything in nature through plants.
In other words, if she cultivates to the extreme, she can even mobilize external spiritual power to fight the enemy at any time.
This is completely different from other cultivators using their internal spiritual power to attract external spiritual energy.
When monks lose their spiritual power, they can do nothing. The upper limit of the spiritual power in their bodies is their own upper limit.
Therefore, we need to improve our cultivation, widen our meridians, and train our spiritual consciousness, all in order to increase the amount of spiritual power in our bodies, use it less and less, and always retain some room for it, so that we can become powerful in combat.
But Xu Hui doesn't need that. She can directly use external spiritual power. No matter what she is like, or whether she has spiritual power in her body, as long as she has consciousness, she can do everything she wants.
This is actually similar to the legendary gods, who have everything under their control!
Of course, this is a state that can only be achieved after cultivating plant affinity to the extreme.
And Xu Hui now...hasn't even gotten started!
The first thing she had to do was to establish a connection with the spiritual power in her body, become familiar with it and master it accurately.
Then I can feel the spiritual power of the plants and use it for my own benefit.
The third step is to feel the world through plants. Plants that are born and raised by nature have unique advantages in this regard, but they do not have their own consciousness and cannot convey their feelings.
Unless Xu Hui turns himself into a plant, feels their growth, understands and comprehends the laws of nature and the universe, and then transforms them into laws that are also useful to humans.
Only in this way could she mobilize the powers of the heavens and earth at will, making herself nearly invincible.
But in fact, if she wants to understand the rules, she cannot even touch the edge of the rules unless she reaches the tribulation period and tries to ascend.
To truly comprehend the world, one must first ascend to heaven.
In other words, this will happen a long, long time in the future, and it is even possible that her lifespan will not reach that level.
But as long as there is a one in ten thousand possibility, Wei Mubai doesn't want her to lose that slight possibility because of her current recklessness.
After realizing this, Xu Hui could only sigh that Wei Mubai was really thinking long-term. He was worthy of being a person with family inheritance and could easily gain insights into various realms in the future.
If you understand the present from the perspective of the future, you will know what is most important.
She couldn't help but feel lucky to have met Wei Mubai. If she had really followed her own plan, although she might not have lost the chance to become an immortal, she would have missed many advantages and taken countless detours.
Even if there is a system, it can make full use of her natural affinity for plants, plant and pick spiritual herbs, so that she will not lack spiritual stones and pave the way for her future cultivation.
This is the technical level, the system can achieve the ultimate!
But there are things that the system cannot do and understand, and that is 'Tao'!
If it weren't for Wei Mubai's advice and teaching, according to Xu Hui's way of thinking, she would also use techniques to understand cultivation.
There is no way. Modern education cultivates "craftsmen". The mindset formed in her mind is like this: logic, system, and material determine consciousness.
According to her original understanding, spiritual power is a substance, and cultivation is about learning how to use and control it, absorbing spiritual power to temper the body, just like genetic modification in science fiction.
Is this understanding wrong?
Generally speaking, no, she might be able to use this to find her own way of cultivating the truth through 'materialism'.
Anyway, it doesn't matter how you understand it. As the saying goes, there are three thousand great ways, but they all lead to the same destination!
But this is not the true way. She may succeed, but she cannot truly touch the rules and become the top existence.
To make an inappropriate analogy, they are all full-score essays in the college entrance examination. Yours is good because it just met the requirements. It is the kind that cannot be found with mistakes. It is a model college entrance examination essay text. It is good, but the good is limited.
But his writing is full of literary talent and he writes in classical Chinese. His writing is so vivid and moving that it is so amazing that one cannot find such a one in more than ten years.
The full score for everyone is 60 points. You scored 60 because you could only get 60 points, and others scored 60 because the full score is 60.
This is the difference!
It's like comparing an ordinary number one scholar in history with the great poet Li Bai. It's not that Li Bai is not good, but that Li Bai is too evil. If Li Bai had not been born, the world would be in eternal darkness!
Without Wei Mubai's guidance, Xu Hui might have had the opportunity to become the top scholar who could cross the single-plank bridge through her own efforts. She would have succeeded, but there would have been regrets.
She can be guided to understand the Tao and has the opportunity to reach the realm of Li Bai.
When she didn't know, she didn't feel regretful, but when she truly understood his good intentions, how could Xu Hui not feel fortunate?
Now, she knows the existence of "Tao". Although she cannot truly touch it, she can clearly see the way forward in the future.
The future is bright. All you need to do is be patient and keep going forward with determination.
So she took her time, using her patience and patience to communicate and understand every bit of spiritual power in her body.
At the same time, she comprehended the "Three Lives, All Things" technique, and the special methods in it could help her understand it better.
"Three Lives, All Things" not only contains the basic methods of cultivation, but also contains many exquisite spiritual power control techniques.
She incorporated these techniques into her own practice, and through constant practice and understanding, she gradually mastered how to accurately control the intensity, direction, and speed of change of spiritual power.
This allows her to use her spiritual power more flexibly in battle and unleash greater combat power.
She tried to combine what she saw, heard, felt and understood in the competition with the mysteries in "Three Lives, Three Worlds" to find the common ground.
Whenever she gained some understanding, the spiritual power in her body would surge, as if responding to her call and exploring the mysteries of cultivation with her.
After countless times of polishing and understanding, she finally mastered the essence of controlling spiritual power.
He can mobilize the spiritual power in his body at will, and can exert amazing power whether in attack or defense.
"Huh, I finally succeeded," Xu Hui opened her eyes, slowly exhaled, her eyes full of joy.
After half a year of practice, she has reached the middle stage of foundation building. Her realm is stable and her understanding of Tao and spiritual power has reached a higher level. It is time to end her retreat.
After opening the barrier of the cave, she immediately received several sound transmission notes, saying that eight of the thirteen medicinal plants needed for Qianxia Pill had been collected and she needed to start planting them.
Wei Mubai asked her to finish her training and go find him.
Xu Hui immediately packed up and went to the alchemy room.
Wei Mubai was indeed in his own alchemy room, with a row of twelve alchemy furnaces under his control, refining low-level rejuvenation pills.
After building the foundation, Xu Hui's five senses became quite sharp, and she could immediately smell that the same kind of elixir was being refined in each alchemy furnace, but the smells emitted were subtly different.
She even had a vague feeling that several of them were about to fail.
She didn't understand why she had this feeling. Perhaps this was the sensation brought about by the affinity with plants?
His eyes involuntarily wandered to the alchemy furnaces. Sure enough, the next second, there was a "puff puff puff" sound of failure, and the alchemy furnaces fell from mid-air, emitting all kinds of strange smells.
Wei Mubai seemed to be used to it. With a wave of his sleeves, the waste residue in the alchemy furnace flew out and flew past him in turn.
He felt it carefully, made a note on a jade slip, then used his spiritual power to clean the alchemy furnace and began the next round of alchemy.
Xu Hui saw piles of medicinal herbs flying out of the medicine cabinets on both sides and falling into the alchemy furnace. The fire in the furnace was lit again and the previous steps were repeated.
Obviously all the herbs were the same and the steps were similar, but she still felt subtle differences.
Very thin, so thin that it can be ignored.
But Xu Hui knew that it was this small change that determined success or failure.
She didn't disturb him and quietly walked to Wei Mubai's right side, where there was a workbench filled with thousands of jade slips.
Pick up one at random, and you will see a detailed description of the refining process of a certain medicinal material, including how much spiritual power was used, to what degree it was refined, whether it should be as pure as possible, or how many impurities should be retained. The details of the experimental process are all on it.
Moreover, the quenching intensity of this kind of medicinal material is different under different pill recipes. If the medicinal properties of other medicinal materials in the same pill recipe are different, they must also be changed accordingly.
In other words, each tempering is actually different, because even if it is the same kind of medicinal material, the medicinal properties of each plant cannot be exactly the same and will change accordingly.
So it seems that the experiment is pointless.
Because before refining the elixir each time, the alchemist needs to feel the herbs and refine their medicinal properties according to the ratio required by the recipe so that they can blend together perfectly.
What alchemists really need to do is to improve their understanding of medicinal materials and strengthen their refining techniques, rather than testing the medicinal properties of a certain medicinal material over and over again, wasting time and medicinal materials.
Yes, that is the direction that alchemists need to go.
But Wei Mubai is not an ordinary alchemist. What he wants to do is to improve the elixir formula and create new elixirs!
Therefore, he must be familiar with the medicinal properties of each medicinal herb, including its useful parts and impurities!
Perhaps in this recipe, impurities need to be removed, but in another recipe, impurities are the most necessary part.
The best way to understand the medicinal properties of medicinal materials is to practice alchemy and medicine. Whether successful or not, it is a valuable experience.
However, doing so will produce a lot of waste residue, which is really, really wasteful!
Xu Hui couldn't help but sigh, ordinary people really can't afford it!
