Chapter 685: Spiritual Root Pill Recipe, Containing Evil Intentions
Is this the test of the inheritance of the True Lord?
When Luo Chen finished reading the last question on the jade slip, no! It should be said that after the conjecture of the Demon Lord Lian Tian, a storm of waves rose in his heart.
For these "mature" immortal cultivators, it is impossible to practice without spiritual roots. Only those with spiritual roots, even the worst five spiritual roots, can embark on the road of immortal cultivation. This is already an irrefutable common sense.
But at this moment, some people say that by using the power of elixirs, the gap between immortals and mortals can be opened, and those without spiritual roots can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. How can Luo Chen not be shocked by such a thing that violates common sense.
"This is really too incredible."
Shaking his head, Luo Chen was about to put down the jade slip.
At this moment, a mysterious feeling emerged in his mind.
Luo Chen's expression changed slightly, "If you can't refine this elixir, you can't pass the first level of the test?"
This is the information conveyed by the jade slip.
For a while, Luo Chen's outstretched hand was suspended in the air.
It is necessary to complete this conjecture and refine the corresponding elixir before passing the test.
Moreover, this is just the first level?
Luo Chen slowly put down the jade slip and looked across the study. The bookshelves filled with bamboo slips and the books that recorded countless detailed knowledge of medicinal materials were the auxiliary teaching materials left by the Demon Lord Lian Tian for the examinees.
Even the pharmacy and the alchemy room next to them could be considered as examination halls.
It was well prepared.
But, can he really make that kind of elixir?
He slowly left the study and came to the outside of the stone house. He looked into the distance and saw the green water and green mountains.
Then he closed his eyes and concentrated.
The next moment, his consciousness suddenly released!
It was no longer a circular radiation centered on him, but gathered into a beam, with the least effort but the maximum outward release.
Luo Chen's current realm is the sixth level of the Golden Core, and his soul foundation is quite strong, no less than any person at the eighth level of the Golden Core.
Even if he is only one step away from the ninth level of the Golden Core.
Therefore, the distance of his consciousness outward release is far beyond that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.
At this moment, he concentrated his mind into a beam again, and the outward release distance reached the maximum limit.
Nine hundred miles!
Going around the green mountains, crossing the lake, heading north, straight to the extreme point.
Indistinctly, an invisible barrier blocked Luo Chen's way forward.
Change direction again!
...
After several times, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, his white jade-like face was uncertain.
Before he reached the extreme of this world, he didn't know there was a boundary.
At this moment, with the prompt of the jade slip, he suddenly realized that this world was like a huge prison, locking him in it.
"Do I really have to try..."
"Forget it, let's make the best of it!"
But in an instant, Luo Chen had adjusted his mentality.
Or, after seeing the jade slip, he was already prepared in this regard.
However, there was another question in front of him.
That is, what about the pill formula?
The jade slip only gave a guess.
There was no specific pill formula at all!
Although Luo Chen's alchemy attainments were perfect, he had been refining medicine according to the map and the recipe all the way.
Even if he occasionally created his own recipe, it was based on the improvement of incomplete recipes and ready-made recipes.
Without recipes, he didn't even have the opportunity to force his way in with the help of the system.
For a while, Luo Chen fell into confusion.
A tall figure slowly paced in the courtyard.
After a long time, Luo Chen chuckled softly.
"Yes, I have always claimed to be a master of alchemy, but how can there be a master who can only copy others' ideas?"
What is a master?
Knowledgeable, tolerant of hundreds of schools, innovative, and independent.
Even from scratch, create a unique theory of your own, with your own influence in it.
From then on, you can be called a master of a generation!
Luo Chen asked himself, in the way of alchemy, he could barely achieve the first four points.
But he had no achievements in creating theories and even self-developed recipes.
Not to mention high-level recipes, he had never created even the first and second-level low-level recipes for beginners.
If this is the case, even if the alchemist is as high as the fourth level, he can only be called a master, far from being a grandmaster.
Obviously, this first level of the test is not only extremely difficult, but also requires people to create their own recipes from scratch.
"I don't know if I can withstand it?"
Luo Chen laughed at himself and walked towards the study room.
The answer should be on the bamboo slips that record countless medicinal materials.
The first row of bookshelves, the first layer, the third volume.
[Ku Chen Zhi Bai: also known as Huang Shou Wu...]
After getting the bamboo slips, Luo Chen, who had already emptied his thoughts, immersed all his mind in it.
In the Dan Realm, the four seasons cycle, and there are also rising and falling sun and moon.
At the beginning of the night, the faint moonlight came in through the window and sprinkled on the silent figure in front of the bookshelf.
In the quiet study, there was only the crisp sound of the bamboo slips turning.
...
In the Dan Realm study, Luo Chen was completely immersed in the ocean of many medicinal material knowledge.
He likes reading.
This habit was not only developed when he was in a low realm.
Even before he traveled through time, he liked reading.
When he was young, he read all kinds of extracurricular books. When he grew up, he was obsessed with classics. Even when he became a social animal, he never stopped reading all kinds of novels.
It can even be said that some simple and refreshing online novels have become his safe haven to relieve the troubles of life.
After time travel, this habit still remained. Even when I was busiest in my practice, I would always take some time to read the miscellaneous talk in the world of cultivating immortals.
As his level improved, especially after successfully establishing the foundation, Luo Chen's Yi Jing Cutting Marrow Soul improved, which further improved his reading habit.
I almost have the ability to see ten lines in one eye and have a photographic memory.
In particular, the addition of divine consciousness made his memory much better. He could often remember many books deeply in his mind after reading them only once or twice, and he could learn and use them flexibly.
have to say.
This habit helped him a lot.
Whether it is practicing in daily life or traveling and fighting outside, the knowledge in the mind will become a help in another form.
Just like this time during the exploration of the Demonic Land, his experience and knowledge completely surpassed that of the older Moyun Cave Master.
If Tai Sui hadn't grown up here, his performance might not be as good as Luo Chen.
now.
In this study, the vast amount of knowledge about medicinal herbs poured into Luo Chen's mind like a wave.
Not only did he not feel dizzy, but he was content with it.
Sometimes after reading some bamboo slips, he felt unsatisfied, so he took them out and read them one or two more times.
Sometimes I marvel at the incredible medicinal properties of some unknown medicinal materials, sometimes I sigh at the exquisiteness of the method of transplanting certain elixirs, and I also have a sudden thought, whether the effect will be better if some medicinal materials are substituted into the commonly made elixirs. good?
Time passes slowly.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and I don’t know the rings of the year.
Ten bookshelves, tens of thousands of bamboo slips, and hundreds of thousands or even millions of medicinal materials took Luo Chen more than half a year.
When he finished reading it completely, Luo Chen felt a little unfinished.
But he still remembered that he didn't come here just to read.
In my mind, under the impact of the characteristics of countless medicinal materials, I have had several bursts of inspiration in the past six months.
"This, and this, these are all fine..."
Luo Chen wandered among the bookshelves and took out seven bamboo slips as if they were family treasures.
Take it to your desk and study it again.
One day later, Luo Chen put back four of them.
This kind of action is a bit strange.
But Luo Chen knew what he was doing.
How to get mature elixirs?
First of all, why should we refine this elixir? This problem has been solved, that is, the Demon Lord Alchemy made a conjecture to break the barrier between immortals and mortals.
Secondly, what should be used to refine this elixir? Luo Chen has already summarized this problem, which is to extract the main materials.
Refining elixirs requires prioritization, especially the main materials, which affect the potency of the elixir, and there is no room for carelessness.
Then, it was the turn of the auxiliary materials.
As for the more mature Danfang? That's not the founder's business.
The evolution of time, changes in the environment, and the demand for elixirs from latecomers will cause the original elixir recipes to be continuously optimized and reformed.
Luo Chen is now stuck in the second step.
Choose the main material.
"There is Huangting above and Guanyuan below, and there is Mingmen in front of Youque at the back. The breath enters the Dantian between the skulls, and the clear water of the Jade Pond fills the spiritual roots. If you can cultivate it, you can live forever!"
"The so-called spiritual root is also the tongue root!"
"The root between the tongue is the upper part. In addition, there is also the middle spiritual root in the Dantian. Therefore, those who are born with Dantian petrified cannot practice. The lower spiritual root is in the Jingfang Palace. This is also before the foundation is established. The monk Yuanyin Yuanyang cannot practice. The reason for pouring out is just to keep the spiritual roots strong.”
These theories originated from when Luo Chen was building the foundation.
After he established the foundation, he felt even deeper.
Especially when Luo Tianzong recruited disciples in the early years, they would also check their spiritual roots.
Luo Chen had some experience with those formations. Most of them guided the auras of heaven and earth to stimulate the monk's tongue, Dantian, and sperm chamber/uterus.
Therefore, spiritual roots that are vague and impossible to follow are actually traceable.
After clearly understanding the nature of spiritual roots, if you want people to create spiritual roots out of nothing, you will also have traces to follow.
Just strengthen these three places and make them more in line with the aura of heaven and earth.
Not only that, the most important thing is to provide mortals without spiritual roots with an artifact that can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Spiritual Root Pill, that’s it!
The elixir Luo Chen was about to refine was named Linggen Dan, which is easy to understand.
In his opinion, nothing means nothing. Even if he takes the elixir, it is impossible to create something out of nothing.
Therefore, this spiritual root pill should not be refined when taken, but should be placed in the mortal body for a long time to help it continuously sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The spiritual root pill is even more of a spiritual root pill!
In this way, the selection of main materials also has theoretical support.
It must have the medicinal property of automatically sensing the aura of heaven and earth.
"The demonic beast's inner elixir, the ancestral grass, and the roots of heaven and earth all have this ability."
Looking at the bamboo slips that recorded the materials of the three gates, Luo Chen fell into a decision.
Suddenly.
"Huh? What is the material of this bamboo slip?"
Luo Chen was surprised and picked up the bamboo slip that recorded the inner elixir of the monster. His magic power surged, and the real fire burned through it.
It shines with withered yellow, and finally turns into a light brown color, as if there is sea air lingering in it.
Seeing this scene, Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.
"This bamboo slip is not the same kind as the bamboo slips on the bookshelf!"
He originally thought that the demonic beast inner elixir was suitable to be used as the main material of the spiritual root elixir.
This inspiration comes from those foundation-building monks who are unable to form elixirs and use demonic beast inner elixirs to condense fake elixirs. Such people are called pseudo-alchemists.
Moreover, the inner elixir of monsters can be used as medicine, so it is natural for this information to be recorded on the bamboo slips.
Although there are no demonic beasts in the alchemy world, there are a lot of demonic alchemy in his Luo Chen storage bag.
If you really want to use it to refine the Spiritual Root Pill, it will be enough.
But at this moment, it seems that this bamboo slip was clearly left in the study by others to mislead those who came after.
In other words, Luo Chen had experienced the Baishan Master incident before, so he was relatively prepared for others to write fake letters on bamboo slips.
Otherwise, I really wouldn’t notice anything strange about this bamboo slip at this moment.
"Who the hell is so wicked!"
Luo Chen cursed with a gloomy face, showing no grace at all.
No wonder he was so angry. If he really wanted to study the spiritual root elixir formula based on the demon elixir as the main material, not to mention whether he could get through it, but it would definitely not be included in the assessment of the Demon King.
Not to mention how much time will be wasted if you take the wrong path.
"Is it the forerunner?"
Luo Chen murmured, swallowing the green flame in his hand and burning it away.
He hates these fakers the most!
Then he adjusted his mood and looked at the other two bamboo slips.
Zuyuancao, the root of heaven and earth.
Needless to say, Luo Chen was quite familiar with the latter. In his opinion, it was a very suitable main material for making spiritual root pills.
Zu Yuancao was a medicinal material that Luo Chen had not known before.
It grows in a place with chaotic spiritual energy, and is even rumored to be able to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth!
Luo Chen heard Han Zhan occasionally talk about the difference between spiritual energy and vitality before. It is said that after touching the power of the law, the great power of transformation can use the power of the law to absorb the vitality in the void for cultivation.
It’s hard to say how powerful the two are, but spiritual energy is not always present, but vitality is everywhere.
Therefore, before transforming into a god, the problem that monks' battles were often affected by the right time and place will be eliminated after advancing to transform into a god, unless the battlefield environment reaches extremes.
"This Ancestral Yuancao is a bit high-end."
Luo Chen murmured.
In his opinion, the Spiritual Root Pill is only for use by mortals without moral knowledge, and the grade must not be too high.
Zu Yuancao, super model!
The roots of heaven and earth are more suitable!
The root of heaven and earth is a medicinal material that can help build a foundation for Qi refining monks at a low level, and can help people with golden elixirs break through the Nascent Soul stage at a high level.
It can be regarded as a medicinal material that has no specific grade, but has extremely strong growth potential, and even has no upper limit.
Finally, after some screening, Luo Chen determined the main material of the Spiritual Root Pill - Tiandigen.
"Somewhere, there seems to be some will from God?"
Luo Chen muttered remembering the past.
I heard about the Roots of Heaven and Earth during Qi refining, and obtained the Roots of Heaven and Earth after killing the ancestor of the Duan family. Even the elixir I picked for the first time after arriving in the Dan Realm was also the Roots of Heaven and Earth.
At this moment, the confirmed main ingredient of the Spiritual Root Pill is also this thing.
Pursing his lips, Luo Chen took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the storage ring.
He was leaning over the desk, writing a book.
"The Heaven and Earth Root has pure medicinal properties, but its properties are mixed. For mortals without spiritual roots, it means opening the door to all wonders... This elixir lasts forever in the body, so the auxiliary materials are selected to weaken the medicinal power of the Heaven and Earth Root. Mainly, at the same time, it must give full play to its ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Night feather flower and purple king leaf should be the first choice, and the cassava cotton, which has the effect of guiding Qi, can be used as an alternative..."
It took Luo Chen seven days to write the book this time.
The elixir prescriptions written are complex and large, and the dosage is vague. Strictly speaking, they are not qualified.
But at least, there is a prototype.
Seven days later, Luo Chen left the study.
This is also the first time he has stepped out of his room in more than half a year.
Under the dazzling sunlight, Luo Chen, dressed in black, exhaled softly, then carried a basket on his back and a medicine hoe and flew into the three mountains and five lakes.
The next step is to collect herbs, process the medicinal materials, and then try to refine the spiritual root pill.
In his opinion, the process is quite fast.
In just half a year, the prototype of the spiritual root elixir was created from scratch.
Later, with a little experimentation, comparison, screening and refinement, we can always be close to success.
…
At the same time, there is another place in the alchemy world.
In a stone house of the same style, an old woman wearing a large green dress and a fairy bun on her head slowly raised her head from the desk.
Her face is ordinary, but her eyes are strange.
The eyebrows are broad, the eyelids are narrow and long, and the eyes are like five-pointed stars.
At this time, the vicissitudes of life's five-star eyes were slightly surprised.
"My bamboo slips were destroyed. Has anyone chosen this path?"
After being surprised, the old woman's expression kept changing.
Those who can see through the bamboo slips she left behind will have great merit.
With such an existence, even if it is only at the first level at the moment, it will be a matter of time to catch up.
"Maybe I have to speed up and can't continue my research so steadily."
