In fact, as early as six years ago, after Lu Yuan developed the bleeding jade magic medicine with the help of his disciples, he had such an idea at that time.
Is it possible to develop a pill that is like a miracle medicine and can improve one's cultivation level?
After all, in many martial arts, there are elixirs such as the Great Return Pill and the Small Return Pill with similar effects. This world seems to be a fairy world, it is impossible not to exist.
But in the end, it was limited by energy and financial resources. It was also taken into account that most of the elixirs with this effect were extremely rare. It was impossible to say that they would need a different species like the Blood Jade Centipede.
In the end, Lu Yuan gave up.
After all, divine blood species such as the Blood Jade Centipede can be encountered but not obtained, and are really difficult to copy.
But as Zhou Qing left, the thought that had disappeared appeared in Lu Yuan's mind again.
"I don't want to develop a magic elixir that is as effective as the blood jade magic medicine all at once. The efficacy is slightly worse, only one-tenth or even one percent of the efficacy, which is acceptable to me. "
Lu Yuan has a very tolerant attitude.
One pill of blood jade magic medicine can pay for his hard work for a year. If it were an ordinary person, it would be four to five years of hard training.
Even if this magical medicine is only 1% effective, one pill is equivalent to three or four days of his practice. For ordinary people, one pill can last half a month.
After all, Lu Yuan is still in the stage of martial arts. He doesn't expect to take any Nine-turn Golden Pill and become an immortal in one step.
Being able to increase his practice speed three to four times was already satisfying for him.
The food must be eaten step by step, and the road must be walked step by step.
It won’t be too late to think about those elixirs that bring endless blessings when you become an immortal by yourself in the future.
At this time it is better to be down-to-earth and work steadily.
…
Refining elixirs was actually not too difficult for Lu Yuan.
After all, he is also a person with an attribute panel. With this plug-in, there is no barrier for him to learn anything.
Over the years, he has been learning medical skills from Zhou Qing, and Zhou Qing has no reservations about his master. He taught all the ancestral medical skills of the Zhou family.
With a professor from a medical family and no ceiling in the strict sense, Lu Yuan naturally made rapid progress when he started learning medical skills.
In just three or four years.
He emptied all the inventory in Zhou Qing's stomach. After I had nothing to teach me, I simply found medical books and studied them myself.
In the past two years, his medical skills have become higher than those of his apprentice Zhou Qing, reaching the level of advanced medical skills.
Lu Yuan felt that his current medical skills were not much worse than those of Dr. Zhou back then.
Maybe even stronger.
With such medical skills, it is certainly not too difficult to study the method of alchemy.
It's not difficult to say, but it's not that simple.
After all, there are several types of elixirs.
You want to refine some detoxifying pills, or simple healing pills. Lu Yuan was naturally able to capture him without any problem.
Even some elixirs for replenishing the body and replenishing qi are not a problem.
Pills that may increase the speed of practice, this involves a bit of a blind spot in knowledge.
After all, practice involves the Three Treasures of Jing, Qi and Shen. If you want to increase the speed of practice, the elixir will naturally involve these three treasures, which can have a certain beneficial effect on Jing, Qi and Shen.
But the Blood Jade Divine Medicine can have this kind of medicinal effect, relying on the divine blood of the Blood Jade Centipede, which is something that is biased towards the fairy tale, so it can have this effect.
But how difficult is it for other ordinary drugs to do this?
When starting to make alchemy.
Lu Yuan's idea was to make some enhancements based on the auxiliary medicines he needed for his practice to see if he could increase his practice speed.
But this plan was abandoned after being tried for a while.
Because those medicinal materials after preparation will either have weakened auxiliary effects, affecting the speed of one's own practice. Either there is a flaw in some aspect, which makes the practice go wrong. Or the effect of the medicine is too strong, causing toxicity and harming the body.
Lu Yuan also figured it out later.
The practice prescription in his hand, which one is mixed and which weight is not the result of the founder's thousands of experiments before arriving at the current ratio.
The problems he can think of can naturally be thought of by his predecessors.
Nowadays, if you want to improve the formula and increase the speed of practice, you are simply looking down on your ancestors.
So after extinguishing this idea, Lu Yuan began to think of other ways.
For example, based on some medicinal materials that can enhance the body's essence and nourish the spirit, we can combine elixirs that can enhance the essence and spirit.
Naturally, there aren't that many problems in refining this purely nourishing elixir.
And with his strength, he doesn't have to worry about whether he is deficient or not. No matter how much supplements he takes, he can still digest it.
But these nourishing elixirs were refined and refined.
But the final actual effect is hard to describe.
The effect of replenishing energy is indeed effective. After taking dozens of refined nourishing elixirs, Lu Yuan felt that his energy and blood were indeed a little stronger, and he even had the urge to exert force from time to time.
But this is just physical restlessness, and it still doesn't have much stimulating effect on the soul.
The total amount of his soul is just there, and his daily efficiency is fixed. He can only allocate as much of his soul as he should to refining his internal power. It is impossible to say that it will increase directly.
Obviously these ordinary pills can only act on the body and cannot act on the mysterious soul.
This result made Lu Yuan a little depressed for a while.
After being friendly for a while, his confidence was hit hard and he temporarily put aside his pharmaceutical experiments.
A few months later, when he was studying a Taoist scripture called "White Elephant True Lord's Test of Different Types", he saw the above record and was inspired.
"All things have animism. As they age, they will have sufficient energy. If the energy is sufficient, they will be alive. Therefore, most of the monsters and monsters in the world are transformed into long-lived things."
The meaning of this sentence is very simple.
That is, all things in the world have spirits, so the longer they live, the more essence they have in their bodies. When the essence is sufficient, spirituality is born. Therefore, the monsters and monsters in the world are generally transformed into living things.
What Lu Yuan paid attention to was the sentence "Sufficiency of energy leads to spiritual life".
"What troubles me is that ordinary medicines can only increase the essence, but cannot nourish the soul. Therefore, the elixirs made from ordinary medicines cannot help improve cultivation.
But according to this scripture, the older something is, the more spiritual it is.
In the Taoist concept, spirituality is actually the same as the soul.
Therefore, if medicinal materials grown in earlier years, preferably over a hundred years old, can be used to refine elixirs, it may be possible. "
Lu Yuan didn't think about this before.
First, there are no examples in this area and there is a lack of guiding ideology.
Secondly, medicinal materials that are hundreds of years old are too expensive, often costing dozens or hundreds of taels of silver. Even if the family is wealthy, the money cannot afford to make money like this.
But now after reading the Taoist Scriptures and having a flash of inspiration, he seemed to have opened a new door and seen a new direction.
That's... krypton gold.
