Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1852: Chapter 684: Spiritual Root Pill Formula, Hidden Malice_2

Possessing the skill to read at a glance, ten lines at a time, and never forget.

In particular, the enhancement of Divine Consciousness greatly improved his memory, allowing many books to be deeply engraved in his mind after only one or two readings, and to use them flexibly.

It must be said.

This habit has helped him a lot.

Whether in daily life cultivation or in exploration and battle, the knowledge in his mind becomes an aid in another form.

Just like this time exploring the Land of Fallen Demons, his experience and knowledge completely surpassed the much older Mo Yun Cave Lord.

If it weren’t for Tai Sui growing there himself, his performance might not have been better than Luo Chen’s.

At this moment.

In this study, the vast knowledge of medicinal herbs surged into Luo Chen’s mind like a tidal wave.

He didn’t feel dizzy or overwhelmed but rather enjoyed it immensely.

Sometimes, after reading some bamboo slips, he still felt unsatisfied and would take them out to read once or twice more.

He marvels at some unknown herbs for their extraordinary properties, laments the ingenuity of transplanting certain Spirit Medicines, and even has sudden thoughts of substituting some herbs into ordinary Pill Formulas to see if the effects might be better.

Time gradually passed.

The sun rises and the moon sets, unaware of the passing years.

Ten bookshelves, tens of thousands of bamboo slips, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of medicinal herbs, took Luo Chen more than half a year to read through.

When he finally finished, Luo Chen felt somewhat unsatisfied.

But he still remembered, that he wasn’t here just to read books.

In his mind, under the impact of countless herbal characteristics, several inspirations had already burst forth over the past six months.

”This one, and this one, these few would do too...”

Luo Chen wandered between the bookshelves, expertly selecting seven bamboo slips.

Taking them to the desk, he studied them again.

A day later, Luo Chen returned four of them.

This action was somewhat strange.

But Luo Chen knew what he was doing.

How does a mature Pill Formula come to be?

First, why make this pill? This question had already been answered: Refining Heaven Demon Monarch proposed a speculation to break the barrier between immortals and mortals.

Second, what to use to make this pill? Luo Chen had already concluded that this was to extract the main materials.

When crafting Elixirs, it’s crucial to distinguish primary and secondary materials, especially primary materials, as they determine the pill’s potency and should not be taken lightly.

Then, it’s the turn of those secondary materials.

As for more mature Pill Formulas? That’s not the founder’s concern.

The evolution of time, changes in the environment, and later generations’ demands for Elixirs, all continuously optimize and reform the original Pill Formulas.

Luo Chen was currently stuck at the second step.

Selecting primary materials.

”Above is the Yellow Court and below is the Guan Yuan, behind is the Obscure Barrier’s Life Gate. Breathe into the Dantian between breaths, fill the Spirit Root with the clear water of the Jade Pool. If cultivated, it can last forever!”

”The so-called Spirit Root is primarily the base of the tongue!”

”The root of the tongue is the superior, apart from this, there is also a middle Spirit Root in the Dantian, hence those whose Dantian is naturally petrified can’t cultivate. The lower Spirit Root is in the Gonads/Uterus, which is why Foundation Establishment Cultivators must preserve their Primordial Yin and Yang, to maintain a vigorous Spirit Root.”

These theories originated when Luo Chen was undergoing Foundation Establishment.

After his Foundation Establishment, he felt it more deeply.

Especially since Luo Tian Sect enrolled disciples in earlier years, they would also inspect the disciples’ Spirit Roots.

Luo Chen had slightly sensed those Arrays, which mostly guide various Heaven and Earth Qi to stimulate the cultivator’s tongue root, Dantian, and Gonads/Uterus at these three locations.

Thus, the elusive Spirit Root, in fact, has traceable paths.

Having grasped the essence of Spirit Roots, creating them from nothing also became somewhat traceable.

Strengthening these three places to make them more harmonious with Heaven and Earth Qi was key.

Moreover, providing mortals without Spirit Roots with an artifact that could absorb Heaven and Earth Qi was crucial.

The Spiritual Root Pill was meant for this!

The Elixir Luo Chen intended to craft, he named the Spiritual Root Pill, straightforward and clear.

In his view, nonexistent means nonexistent, even if one ingests an Elixir, it is impossible to create something from nothing.

Therefore, this Spiritual Root Pill should not be consumed for refining but should be lodged in a mortal’s physique long-term, assisting them in continuously sensing Heaven and Earth Qi.

The Spiritual Root Pill, is even more a Pill Spirit Root!

Thus, the selection of primary materials now had theoretical support.

It needed medicinal properties capable of automatic induction of Heaven and Earth Qi.

”Demon Beast Inner Pill, Ancestor Yuan Grass, Heaven and Earth Roots, these three all possess this ability.”

Looking at the bamboo slip recording the three materials, Luo Chen was caught in the midst of a choice.

Suddenly.

”Huh? The material of this bamboo slip?”

Luo Chen, surprised, picked up the bamboo slip documenting the Demon Beast Inner Pill, Qi Power surged, True Fire swept over it.

Its surface turned somewhat bright yellow at last, transforming into a pale yellow as if surrounded by a maritime aura.

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen’s expression changed slightly.

”This bamboo slip is not of the same type as those on the bookshelves!”

He originally thought the Demon Beast Inner Pill was suitable as the primary material for the Spiritual Root Pill.

This inspiration came from those Foundation Establishment Cultivators who failed to form a Core using a Demon Beast Inner Pill to solidify a pseudo-core, such people were called Pseudo-Core Cultivators.

Moreover, Demon Beast Inner Pill could enter pharmacology, so such information recorded on bamboo slips seemed natural.

Though there were no Demon Beasts in the Alchemy Realm, Luo Chen’s Storage Bag contained numerous Monster Pills.

If truly used to craft the Spiritual Root Pill, there would be enough.

But upon closer inspection, this bamboo slip was clearly placed in the study to mislead later individuals by someone else deliberately.

Having experienced the Hundred Craft Mountain Master incident before, Luo Chen had developed a relative awareness of false letters and bamboo slips from others.

Otherwise, he might not have noticed the peculiarities of this bamboo slip.
