Qingyun Sect, Yunyang Peak, in the cave.
Although he is responsible for the work of the medicine garden, the delivery of medicinal materials is only once every other month for a period of three months. Although he is required to be on duty at other times, there are no monks to check the post, so you know how to fish.
'It's hard to find a job these days that is both lucrative and leisurely...'
Lin Chen sighed with emotion, and then focused on his eyes.
In front of him, the bronze cauldron was placed in the center of the room, and a miniature formation was carved next to the bronze cauldron, and three low-grade spiritual stones were placed at the junction of several lines.
This is a fire control formation recorded in "Basics of Alchemy". It can use a special technique to stimulate the spiritual power in the spirit stone and turn it into a high-temperature flame, which can shorten the time required for alchemy. Moreover, the formation The flame burns very stably, which helps to improve the success rate of alchemy.
Although Lin Chen is not refining elixirs, he is still refining elixirs, and flame is one of the key factors for success. Needless to say, its importance.
Although he can use his own energy to inspire flames, it consumes too much and is unstable, which has a certain impact on the success rate.
In fact, both alchemists and alchemists use earth fire to make elixirs. Ground fire has a higher temperature, is relatively stable, and is extremely durable, making it a really good choice.
But Lin Chen estimated the spiritual stones in his wallet and suddenly felt that using formations to refine medicine was also a good choice.
"Thousands of spiritual stones were burned away like this..." Lin Chen's face twitched.
Even though he had reduced all kinds of waste as much as possible, the consumption was still shocking.
'Scientific research is really expensive...' Lin Chen couldn't help but gritted his teeth.
He only made substitutions and changes in the medicinal materials on the basic prescription.
After only conducting dozens of repeated experiments, he burned out at least two thousand spiritual stones. This was still based on the fact that he secretly deducted a lot of medicinal materials from the spiritual medicine garden, otherwise the consumption would be even more alarming.
In his previous life, Lin Chen heard that science laboratories were very expensive and thought there was something fishy about it. Now it seems that he misunderstood.
Lin Chen shook his head, removing the chaotic thoughts from his mind, and focused on what was in front of him.
Light the fire, preheat, put in the elixir, extract the essence, blend the essence... Soon, a familiar medicinal fragrance emanated from the bronze cauldron.
Done?
Lin Chen's face was neither sad nor happy, and the movements of his hands were not slow at all. However, just as he was about to take the next step, the aroma of the medicine changed and a burning smell emitted.
'It failed again. It seems that the heat has passed... It's okay. We're just close to the Bailing Stone. I have plenty of money. '
Lin Chen looked calm, but veins suddenly appeared on his hands.
Light the fire, preheat, put in the elixir, extract the essence, blend the essence... The small tripod exudes a familiar medicinal fragrance again.
However, after a while, Lin Chen poured out the remaining medicinal materials in the cauldron with a numb expression.
'continue……'
The third time refining the medicine failed. The fourth time of refining the medicine was successful. the fifth time……
Three quarters of an hour later, Lin Chen's pale face looked slightly haggard, and his long hair was scattered on his shoulders, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, and his dark pupils were deep and distant.
The refined medicinal powder was mixed with spiritual liquid by Lin Chen and made into incense sticks, which were placed in front of him.
'The revised version 3.0 of Yanghunxiang has finally become...'
Even Lin Chen's face showed a rare smile.
In this world, if the body is the treasure boat that travels through the world, then the soul is the foundation for becoming an immortal!
A powerful enough soul can not only speed up the training speed and make up for the lack of innate qualifications, but also possess all kinds of unpredictable powers.
There are even rumors that in ancient times, there were high-level monks who specialized in souls. They abandoned their physical bodies and lived in the world as [Yuan Shen]. Not only could they travel to the North Sea and Mu Cangwu, but they could also seize souls, call names, and nail heads. Seven Arrows and other magical powers that make people extremely fearful.
Even in the world of immortality where Qi training is popular today, the soul is still a very important existence.
Whether it is the golden elixir stage of "Three flowers gather on the top, and the golden elixir is born from now on", or the golden elixir period of "no internal thoughts, no external thoughts, I am independent, without a single thought, without any awareness, I see the five All the aggregates are empty, all four bodies are false, but I have my true self.” In the spiritual transformation stage, the soul is closely related to it, and it can even be said to be the foundation of everything!
But in this Lingnan cultivation world where resources are scarce and can only generate golden elixirs, soul-growing techniques and elixirs can be said to be very precious.
As far as Lin Chen knew, he had never heard of the technique of cultivating the soul. Although he judged that Qingyun Sect should have it, after all, it was not something that he could access at this level.
As for the soul-growing elixir, as far as he knows, so far, during the Qi training period, there is only one type [soul-nourishing elixir], and it is still expensive and unmarketable. Even if he could afford it, he would not be able to find a way!
However, Lin Chen's various studies on immortality cultivation all pointed out the importance of the soul in cultivation.
If he neglects it for a time and lags behind other monks in this aspect, then one day he will be affected by every step he takes.
This problem once caused Lin Chen trouble.
After killing nearly a hundred evil cultivators, touching the corpses of a large number of cultivators, and visiting Taobao Streets in four cities of the Qingyun Sect, but finding nothing, Lin Chen finally discovered that he really did not deserve the treatment of a protagonist.
After thinking hard for a long time, Lin Chen felt that instead of trying to find it by chance, he might as well make it himself!
The soul-nourishing incense is one of the results of Lin Chen's research on the soul.
Lin Chen discovered that the mind-restoring medicines in the mortal world had an effect on mortals, so he suddenly thought, if the ordinary medicinal materials in the secular medicines for nourishing the spirits were replaced with elixirs, would it have an effect on monks?
Lin Chen originally thought that other monks would not have thought of such a simple method, but now, this situation does not appear in the world of immortality. Maybe there is some kind of problem.
However, ordinary people can use this prescription to nourish their spirits. There is no reason to replace it with a more powerful elixir that will not work for practitioners.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Chen felt that the experiment would eventually lead to true knowledge, so he started directly.
So a lot of time was spent on research and development and experiments, and finally, the first version of the soul-nourishing incense was successfully released.
After experiments, its effect is only one-thousandth of the efficacy of the soul-nourishing pill in the Qi refining stage. Without comparative observation experiments, the subtle differences cannot be seen at all.
Lin Chen guessed that this subtle effect of medicine, which is difficult to detect, should be the reason why the monks failed to insist on continuing to improve the mortal prescription.
But for him, no matter how weak the effect of the medicine is, it only needs to be useful, not to mention that it can be used in large quantities.
Lin Chen lit at least nine soul-nourishing incense sticks every day, and its effect was comparable to one percent of the soul-nourishing pill.
Over time, Lin Chen was equivalent to taking a soul-nourishing pill every three months!
It seems quite desolate, and you can only take one pill every three months, but in the world of immortal cultivation in Lingnan, where resources are scarce, pills that can grow the soul can be said to be rare.
Being able to take one every three months is already the treatment given to the core disciples of the sect and the direct descendants of the big families.
Not to mention, Lin Chen can also upgrade the soul-nourishing incense to have stronger medicinal effects.
Version 2.0 of Nourishing Soul Incense is an advanced version developed by Lin Chen after searching for prescriptions that require various precious medicinal materials in the mortal world, and then replacing them with various spiritual objects!
However, just as taking the same medicine for a long time will develop drug resistance, even if Lin Chen made it into a soul-nourishing incense and avoided taking it directly, resistance gradually developed in the body, resulting in no effect at all.
Therefore, Lin Chen had to continue to develop a new generation of soul-nourishing incense. Even though this process is very troublesome, the effect is also very significant.
With the help of soul-nourishing incense, Lin Chen's soul now far exceeds that of monks of the same level.
Not only that, Lin Chen also developed a simple method of refining gods.
Although Lin Chen doesn't know what the nature of the soul is. But he discovered through observation and research that the soul, like the body, will become stronger with more exercise.
Based on this concept, refer to the Taoist methods of previous lives. After your soul is exhausted and exhausted, you can calm down and meditate to rest your mind.
At this time, just like replenishing nutrients in time after physical exercise, Lin Chen lit the soul-nourishing incense to nourish his soul. With the blessing of these two, he made rapid progress in his soul.
And Lin Chen combined this simple method of refining gods with the method of making soul-nourishing incense, and created what he knew so far, one of the three major forces in Lingnan Cultivation World, the only one on the bright side of Qingyun Sect. The method of refining the gods——
[Lingxiang Nourishing Soul Sutra]!
Thinking of this, a smile flashed across Lin Chen's face.
If you don't have something, create it yourself, that's what you're capable of!
[Ling Fragrance Nourishing Soul Sutra] is part of his three paths of essence, energy and spirit, which is part of the divine way [Shen Nourishing Technique].
It is his own unique god-refining method that he developed over the past ten years with existing resources without the availability of peerless skills and immortal elixirs.
This method is extremely precious. Lin Chen can be sure that once he exposes any information related to this method, it will definitely cause huge waves in the Lingnan cultivation world, and even the aloof Jindan Zhenren will personally fight for it.
Maybe it won't work on high-level monks, but compared to soul-nourishing pills, it has lower cost and safety. It can greatly change the strength and potential of monks at the bottom of a force, thus profoundly affecting the entire Lingnan. situation.
'Oh, it's a pity. If I had enough strength, I could bear the backlash of exposing this sutra and gain enough benefits...'
People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. If Lin Chen exposes this, he will definitely be pushed to the forefront and cause a lot of trouble.
Even though the Qingyun Sect would try its best to protect him, Lin Chen really didn't want to feel the feeling of leaving his fate in the hands of others.
Besides, even within the Qingyun Sect, it is not necessarily safe.
If you hand in this sutra, you will definitely receive a generous reward, but he does not have the strength to match it, so how can he hold on to it?
Not to mention, in this world of immortality, once you have huge interests that are not in line with your own strength, it is extremely easy to cause death!
'Forget it, don't even think about these things until your strength is strong enough...' Lin Chen shook his head, then looked at the soul-nourishing incense on the table and fell into deep thought.
'This revised version of Nourishing Soul Incense 3.0 has just been developed, and experiments are still needed to determine its efficacy and whether it has any hidden dangers. Also, about the experiment of the soul in the breakthrough of the foundation period...'
Lin Chen's eyes moved slightly as if he thought of something.
He originally thought that since he was a human being in two lifetimes, his soul should be far superior to others and his training efficiency should be higher. However, in reality, there is no difference between his training speed and those with the same talent.
From this point of view, the soul mentioned in this life is not just the consciousness, memory, etc. recorded in the previous life. I am afraid it also represents other things.
'And what's interesting is that in previous lives, Taoists called them [soul] and [divine soul]. [Soul] is a Western term, but in this life it is called [soul]...'
'Combined with the aura law I concluded that everything in the world is composed of aura, so the word soul is just a different name, or does the spirit of the soul refer to... aura? '
