Self-struggle starting from Douluo

Chapter 215 Communication with Yao Chen
"That's what I discovered by accident while collecting herbs. Behind the strange tree, there is a cave that is difficult to find."

Since they had been discovered, and Qing Huan, the alchemist, was there, Xiao Yixian knew that she could no longer hide. She said reluctantly, "The cave must have been left by a predecessor. I have never been in there, so I don't know much about the inside. But from some traces, the predecessor who left the cave must have been very strong."

Xiao Yan immediately became interested and asked, "You just wanted to go in, right?"

"Yeah, but the cliff is too steep and I can't get in."

The Little Medical Fairy glanced at Xiao Yan who was eager to try, and said lightly: "If it weren't for this alchemist, I wouldn't have told you, and I advise you not to think of keeping it all for yourself. The strength of a two-star fighter is not strong in Qingshan Town."

Xiao Yan touched his nose and glanced at Qing Huan.

Qing Huan smiled and said, "How about we go down together and see if there are any good things and split them equally?"

Xiao Yan was immediately moved and nodded repeatedly.

Little Medical Fairy said, "Forget it. We have been out for a while now. If we don't go back, Mu Li will get suspicious. Our herb-collecting team will stay in the Monster Mountain Range for one night. Shall we come tonight?"

"Mu Li, is he the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group?"

Xiao Yan's eyes rolled, and he immediately said to Qing Huan: "How about you go back with us?"

Qing Huan laughed in silence, pointed at him and said, "Are you worried that I will avoid you and go down alone?"

Xiao Yan chuckled and did not deny it.

Judging from the look in Xiao Yixiang's eyes, this is obviously what she meant.

Qing Huan shook her head and said speechlessly: "Okay, I'll go back with you."

……

Returning to the escort team, the mercenaries looked at the young man they had just met with caution, but with Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan as their guarantors... mainly Xiao Yixian, the escorting mercenaries couldn't say anything.

On the contrary, the mercenary named Mu Li seemed gentle, but his words were full of hostility.

Xiao Yan didn't have time to waste time talking to him. He just said a few random words and pulled Qing Huan aside.

Little Medical Fairy looked dissatisfied. She also wanted to talk to the alchemist. What did the alchemist mean by what he said just now?
Toxicity is also one of the characteristics of herbs? Does that mean that if you can sense the toxicity, you can also make medicine?

The escort team set off again, moving forward quietly.

Xiao Yan pulled Qing Huan to the end, avoiding other mercenaries, and stared at him with burning eyes.

A faint voice sounded: "This old man is Yao Chen!"

Qing Huan glanced at Xiao Yan's ring, without any surprise, and said, "Li Qing Huan."

After a brief self-introduction, Yao Chen couldn't wait to say, "I've seen your Qi-restoring pills. The efficacy has exceeded the medicinal materials themselves. This is unreasonable. How did you do it?"

Qing Huan smiled and said, "Transplanting flowers and trees."

"Transplantation?" Yao Chen muttered to himself. After a moment, he suddenly realized, "You refined the other properties of the medicinal materials and transferred them? Is this kind of thing possible?"

Qing Huan asked back: "Why can't you do that? Doesn't your Ice Heart Pill also add the properties of fire to the pill?"

Yao Chen said subconsciously: "That's because the Ice Heart Pill has similar characteristics to my flame... I understand, different fires refine different pills!"

Qing Huan asked seriously, "Why are most pills round?"

Xiao Yan, who was listening, blinked and wanted to laugh. Of course, the pill is round.

But Yao Chen did not answer immediately, but remained silent.

Qing Huan said: “When low-grade elixirs are formed, the alchemist uses the power of the soul to fuse them into a ball… This is equivalent to rolling them into a ball!
But I have refined a sixth-grade evil-breaking pill. When it was formed, it took shape on its own and was round after it was formed... I believe that all high-grade pills should be like this.

So the question is, why do low-quality pills need to be rolled into shape, but high-quality pills can be formed by themselves? And they are all round?"

After hearing what he said, Xiao Yan was stunned. While he was shocked that Qing Huan could already refine sixth-grade pills, he was also confused: Yes, why are pills round?
After a while, Yao Chen sighed and said, "Even a seventh-rank alchemist cannot answer this question. Fortunately, I can answer it!

Because of spirituality! "Qing Huan frowned: "Spirituality?"

"Yes, spirituality!" Yao Chen said solemnly, "Pills above the seventh grade already have spirituality. When they are formed, they will attract pill thunder. With spirituality, pills can be regarded as a kind of life.

The seventh-grade elixir is not obvious yet, but the eighth-grade elixir can even generate wisdom and fight with people, and the ninth-grade elixir can even transform into a human form or beast...

Spiritual life will autonomously adjust its own composition, and the internal medicinal effects are no longer mixed, but become orderly, just like the meridians of the human body.

After training, the meridians of a person flow with Dou Qi, and the orderly flow inside the elixir is the characteristic, which can also be integrated with Dou Qi, which also leads to the fact that high-quality elixirs can cultivate on their own! "

Qing Huan thought for a moment and said, "This still doesn't explain why the pill is round?"

Yao Chen was quite proud and said, “I have said that elixirs above the seventh grade can be regarded as new lives, and the life itself will constantly yearn for perfection!

What is perfection for life? Perfection is not leaking or leaking out, and lasting forever!

So instinctively, the elixir will center on its own spirituality, firmly grasp all of its own characteristics, and not let them leak out... This is how the circle is formed!
As the spirituality and wisdom of the elixir grow stronger, the Treasure elixir, Mysterious elixir, and Golden elixir of the ninth grade and above will understand that to achieve perfection, it is not enough to just be round, so they will try to transform into human form or animal form... After all, both humans and demon beasts have the possibility of achieving perfection!"

Qing Huan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's how it is. Thank you for your advice!"

Yao Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "You are practicing Dan. I can see that the first Yin Dan is not perfect enough, but the second Huiqi Dan has already shown signs of perfection?"

Qing Huan smiled bitterly and said, "To refine the pill, you need to roll it into a round shape, but I never actively shaped the pill when refining it. The pills always took shape on their own..."

As he spoke, he took out the lotus-shaped Qinglian Pill and said, "This is the Qinglian Pill I refined. It automatically took shape into a lotus shape... The Po'e Pill I refined also took shape automatically, but it was round.

So I have always been confused, why are the shapes of pills and high-quality pills different when they are both automatically formed? "

Yao Chen suddenly became very excited and said, "Pill! Perfect pill! High-quality pills have been pursuing perfection all their lives, but I didn't expect that the alchemist could directly refine a perfect pill!
According to what I have heard, there is a faction in Zhongzhou called Danta, whose founder is a mutated ninth-grade Xuandan, who has been pursuing perfection all his life... If he sees your pill, he will probably go crazy."

Qing Huan put away the Qing Lian Dan, ignored Yao Chen's excitement, and asked, "I wonder how the alchemist gives spirituality to pills above the seventh grade?"

Yao Chen said: "Part of it comes from the remaining spirituality of the magic core, and part of it comes from the spirituality of the alchemist himself... How does the alchemist deal with the chain reaction between the characteristics of the medicinal materials?"

Qing Huan said: "Guide what can be guided, and directly suppress what cannot be guided. Only take what is needed, and directly suppress what is not needed, and discard it when the pill is formed... How does the alchemist give his spirituality to the pill?"

Yao Chen said: "At the moment of pill formation, a part of the spirituality is abandoned and integrated into the pill. The spirituality can grow and recover on its own. Therefore, high-quality pills are not only time-consuming and laborious, but also cannot be refined continuously... How do alchemists attach spirituality to their pills?"

Qing Huan said: "Refine the remaining spirituality of the magic core. If the spirituality of the magic core dissipates, then you can only take another life... If you keep giving up your own spirituality, how can the alchemist ensure his own integrity?"

Yao Chen said: "There are techniques for nourishing the soul in Zhongzhou, but they are very rare and precious... According to what you said, every pill in the hands of the alchemist means the disappearance of a life?"

Qing Huan said: "Life is still there, it just changed its way of existence. Besides, cultivation is to seize the fortune of heaven and earth. Take from heaven and earth and use it for heaven and earth. Why not?"

The two of them were talking back and forth, communicating enthusiastically, and Xiao Yan, who was listening, was confused.

It was not until it was getting dark and the team arrived at a basin and began to set up camp that Xiao Yan had to interrupt the two of them.

Both of them felt a sense of regret that they had not yet completed their conversation and wished they could continue communicating for three days and three nights!

However, the current situation was not suitable for going any further, so we had to stop helplessly.

Yao Chen said: "Xiao Yan is my disciple, I hope you can take good care of him... After I compile the pill formula I know, I will give it to you."

After some communication, Yao Chen also realized that Qing Huan had solid theoretical knowledge and his own creative ideas, but he knew too few pill recipes. Apart from the first to third grades, he only knew one sixth-grade recipe, the Evil-Breaking Pill.

Qing Huan was overjoyed. He looked at Xiao Yan and felt a little embarrassed. He said, "This... I don't know how to take care of him? Protect him?"

Even though Xiao Yan eventually became the Dou Emperor, he encountered constant troubles along the way. He repeated the cycle of being hunted, practicing hard, fighting back, being hunted again, practicing hard, fighting back...

Yao Chen was silent, he couldn't say anything, he only knew that if Xiao Yan made friends with him, he would benefit greatly.

Xiao Yan blurted out: "Strange Fire, I need Strange Fire!"

Qing Huan smiled and said, "Strange Fire? I have it."
