Chapter 55: The Significance of Picking Up a Lost Thing: All of these over a thousand jade slips...
These more than one thousand jade slips were all part of the testing process, with every change being meticulously studied, but there was no realization.
It’s not that Wei Mubai has no ideas, but his insights are all in his own mind.
In fact, with his powerful spiritual consciousness, there was no need to record everything in the jade slips. All the events were recorded in his mind and could be retrieved at any time.
The real reason for doing this is to make it easier for others to access it.
This is the true heritage of the alchemy family. It is not some sophisticated alchemy technique, nor the precious elixir recipe, but the incredibly detailed alchemy process.
Every alchemist has his or her own insights. Other people’s experiences may be fine, but they may not be suitable for you.
Sometimes they get stuck and the guidance of others is of little use, so they have to rely on themselves to figure things out.
After all, everyone's bottleneck is different.
But understanding cannot be achieved by just sitting there and daydreaming. It requires repeated experiments to find a breakthrough.
If you can't find it, you will never make any progress.
In fact, high-level alchemists are so rare that many cultivators are unable to break through and are stuck at a bottleneck.
It’s not that they don’t try to solve the problem, but when you don’t even know what problem you have, how can you solve it?
Sometimes it is like this, you know you are facing difficulties, but you have no idea what the difficulties are or how they arise.
If you know, you can solve it accordingly.
The process of finding the problem is a long journey, as if exploring in endless darkness, with it difficult to find the direction.
In order to find the direction, they can only conduct various meaningless experiments, wasting a lot of energy and resources, but the results may not be correct.
As a family of alchemy, the Wei family has countless jade slips related to alchemy, which are so detailed that they even describe the medicinal properties of a certain medicinal ingredient and the various subtle changes that occur when it is combined with other medicinal ingredients.
These are the processes left behind by previous experiments. There are no conclusions, only processes.
Because the conclusion is the insights of that predecessor, but the process actually happened.
Later generations will have new insights after reading these jade slips and combining them with their own situations.
This saves experimental process and resources.
Reading jade slips is such a simple thing. A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage can read hundreds of jade slips a day. A cultivator in the Golden Core stage can read thousands of jade slips without any problem.
In this way, when an alchemist encounters a bottleneck, taking the time to read these is equivalent to doing experiments, which can save a lot of time and resources.
Perhaps, after reading tens of thousands of jade slips, he discovered his problem and made a breakthrough directly.
The Wei family has tens of millions of basic jade slips like this, which are detailed in every aspect. If you encounter any problem, you can look through them. Maybe you can find the crux of the problem without having to experiment.
And this is the true foundation of a noble family!
What Wei Mubai is doing now is to add to the family's foundation.
He recorded the entire process of his own experiment in full, and when others read it, it was equivalent to following him and going through the entire experimental process.
As for what you understand, that is a personal matter.
Wei Mubai is the second son of the Wei family, a talented alchemist, and has Xu Hui to help him grow medicinal herbs. The resources he possesses are unimaginable. Few cultivators have such unique conditions as him.
Therefore, only he could carry out such an extremely delicate experiment.
And his talent can also support his bold innovation.
Others don't have this condition, but with his experimental process and insights, it is not impossible for them to follow his example and embark on the path of modifying the pill formula and creating a new one.
Even if there are only one or two people, they can bring greater brilliant achievements to the family!
This is his real contribution to the family!
Each recipe for an elixir has been refined through thousands of trials and tribulations. The reason why the Wei family is a family of alchemy is that they have more recipes than others, and a large part of them were created by the ancestors of the Wei family.
This is the foundation of their standing in the world of cultivation through the art of alchemy.
Do you really think that Wei Mubai’s specialness lies in how many precious pills he can refine and how he can bring wealth to the family?
No, it is his talent that can open up new paths for the family and bring more possibilities. This is his true value!
But to achieve this, talent alone is not enough!
Xu Hui has not left the cave for half a year and has been practicing in seclusion.
In the past six months, Wei Mubai has not stepped out of the alchemy room. He has been making pills and conducting experiments day and night without even closing his eyes to rest.
When you reach the Golden Elixir stage, you not only practice fasting, but you also don’t need to rest by sleeping.
But Xu Hui felt that this was not real living. Eating and sleeping were the pleasures of being a human being. No matter how busy she was, she would stop for a while to rest and experience delicious food.
But Wei Mubai seemed to have never had this concept, and he spent all his time refining pills.
Of course, he did not stop practicing, but continued to practice while refining the elixir.
He has been accustomed to multitasking since he was young, and he never misses out on anything.
Therefore, in the past six months, he has successfully advanced from the middle stage of the Golden Core to the late stage of the Golden Core. He is only one step away from the great perfection of the Golden Core.
Moreover, it is a natural process and the state cannot be more stable.
Sometimes the gap between people is so huge. What Xu Hui needs to feel and understand wholeheartedly, Wei Mubai can do two or even three things at once and do it very well, so well that it makes people jealous.
Oh, understanding! It really makes people love and hate it!
After waiting for a while, Wei Mubai recorded a few more jade slips before stopping and taking out a few jade boxes. "They are all here. You can plant them first. And these are the top-grade spirit stones."
Xu Hui took it and looked at it. There were thirty-six in total. She couldn't help but widen her eyes. The Wei family is really rich. They can easily take out thirty-six top-grade spirit stones. How rich are they!
But, "These are the medicinal herbs for refining Qianxia Pills. Do we need to plant so many?"
The use of top-grade spirit stones is definitely to open the time formation. It would be a waste to plant only one plant. The formation should be filled with as many plants as possible.
There are at least hundreds of each medicinal herb, but Wei Muyan only needs one.
The rest is not very useful, right?
After all, although Qianxia Pill is rare, it is far less valuable than the best-grade spirit stone.
This is a losing business, a huge loss, to the point of bankruptcy!
Wei Mubai nodded slightly. "Ordinary Qianxia Pills can only repair the spirit palace and spirit veins, but I've studied it and found that if it's a top-grade pill... it's very likely to expand and train the spirit palace and spirit veins."
Xu Hui's eyes widened. "Really?"
If it's true, it's incredible!
Think about it, under what circumstances can the spiritual palace and spiritual veins be expanded and trained?
The only way to advance is to practice Qi to build the foundation, and from the foundation to the golden elixir... Other methods are just a little exercise to strengthen resilience.
The process of advancement, to put it simply, is to use spiritual power to impact the spiritual palace and spiritual veins to expand them.
Yes, the function of the top-grade Qianxia Pill that Wei Mubai mentioned is to help cultivators advance smoothly!
With the top-grade Qianxia Pill, there will no longer be any bottlenecks. As long as you have enough spiritual power, you can advance all the way.
This is equivalent to bringing a top-grade waste material down to the level of Buddha's disciple Lechen!
Please forgive her for using dust as the unit of measurement, but that is the fact.
What a terrifying effect!
It is conceivable that after practicing it, it will be sought after by people like you, not to mention the thirty-six top-grade spirit stones.
Three hundred and sixty yuan is no problem.
After all, some of them are old monsters who are stuck in a certain realm and cannot break through.
However, Xu Hui tilted her head and asked a crucial question, "Even so, who can make a top-grade pill?"
Can Wei Mubai guarantee success?
With his current level, refining the top-grade Qianxia Pill is already the limit, right?
After all, he is only at the level of a fifth-grade alchemist. Even if he is promoted to the sixth grade, he will not be able to make it.
This is not a matter of talent, but a matter of strength not allowing it. If you are not at that level, it is a dream to think about refining it!
As for finding other more powerful alchemists?
The Wei family is not without seventh-grade and eighth-grade alchemists. The Wei family has an ancestor in the Mahayana period who is a famous eighth-grade alchemist.
But it's useless. The probability of success of this kind of miraculous elixir is less than one in ten thousand.
But the medicinal herbs she could grow using the time array were only about a hundred at most, and it was very likely that not even a single one would be successful.
That would be a real waste of thirty-six top-grade spirit stones!
How could this be considered a waste? It was simply throwing away top-grade spirit stones.
Furthermore, Wei Mubai had no intention of revealing her ability to grow and pick top-quality medicinal plants, and it was impossible for her to be exposed just because of the Qianxia Pill.
so?
"It's true that I can't refine it for the time being," Wei Mubai nodded, "I will use special methods to preserve their medicinal properties and wait until my level is higher."
"Ah? Oh!" Okay, it turns out they were planted and stored.
Wow, she exclaimed wow, it turns out this is a noble family, for the sake of a possibility, they are willing to spend huge resources to try.
No wonder they can do things that others can’t and achieve the impossible time and time again!
Hey! Jealousy has twisted her face!
"Okay, I understand." She was extremely shocked, but she calmed down. After all, it wasn't hers, so she didn't feel bad about using it. "What is the special method you mentioned?"
Xu Hui was very surprised. The reason she was needed before was because the medicinal properties of some herbs could not be preserved and she needed to collect them perfectly or use them immediately after picking them. Why could she do that now?
"Time and space are forbidden," Wei Mubai did not hide it. "This is a special ability of the Void Spiritual Root. It opens up an absolutely forbidden time and space. Nothing can change when placed inside."
Xu Hui: ...
Isn’t this the space set in the novel? It’s the same when you put it in and it’s the same when you take it out. It doesn’t seem that difficult... right?
No!
Very very difficult!
Even in the realm of nothingness, it is impossible to remain unchanged.
This world also has space bracelets and the like, but it cannot make time stand still. There is nothing that will not change. This is a false concept!
Novels are just novels. The settings do not need to be logical. Change is the truth.
And Wei Mubai was able to create an absolutely still space, the cost must have been very high.
Sure enough, Wei Mubai said, "To maintain the stability of this space, I need to constantly consume my spiritual consciousness."
The operation seems to be very simple, just separate a wisp of spiritual consciousness to open up space, and then use spiritual consciousness to maintain it.
This is equivalent to constantly wasting one's spiritual consciousness. How much spiritual consciousness can a person have? Can it withstand such a level of wasting?
What's more, Wei Mubai is only in the Golden Core Stage. Even real immortals and gods wouldn't dare to do this. It would be tantamount to seeking death!
"Don't worry, the 'Soul Art' is very useful and can offset the consumption." That's why he had that idea.
Xu Hui: ...
Okay, the heroine's cheat code is really powerful! She is convinced, it seems that she can't stop picking up the bargains!
