Chu Xinghe felt that he was already quite absurd...
After all, the idea of growing pills in the ground is something that anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't even consider, right?
The reason I, Chu Xinghe, dare to say this is mainly because I have the Medicine Saint's inheritance. I can shamelessly claim that all of this is recorded in the Medicine Saint's inheritance.
So no matter how absurd it is, there are people who will believe it, okay?
Even if it fails in the end, it's the Medicine Saint who takes the blame.
But what the hell is going on with you, Muyue Nation?
How did you come up with such a bizarre idea of growing pills in the ground?
Wasn't Muyue Nation researching automatic pill refining a while ago?
How did you end up researching in the fields?
Soon, Chu Xinghe found out why Muyue Nation was doing such a bizarre thing.A while ago, seeing all the senior brothers and sisters contributing to the sect, Muyue Nation was anxious too.
So Muyue Nation decided to improve itself and reach new heights.
The idea of automatic alchemy was put on the agenda.
Mu Bai said, initially, we in Muyue Nation failed repeatedly, because no matter how perfectly we cultivated and fused the spiritual herbs in the ground, there would always be accidents during the refining process.
The accident was simple... it was automatic alchemy... if no one controlled the spirit flame, all the pills would end up ruined.
Regarding Mu Bai's statement, Chu Xinghe just wanted to say, wasn't that inevitable?
You throw all the spiritual herbs into the pill furnace and let the fire roast them directly, is that pill refining?
Are you roasting sweet potatoes here?
Realizing the problem, Mu Bai and the others kept improving, but it ultimately proved, as Senior Brother Xinghe said, that automatic alchemy was simply impossible to succeed.
Mu Bai wanted to give up at that time, but remembering the high hopes Senior Brother Xinghe had for us in Muyue Nation, Mu Bai didn't give up easily!
As they say, when you're suffering, think about that fool Ouyang Ming, and when you're tired, look at the Dark Moon Clan's dedication!
Muyue Nation eventually overcame itself and continued the research.
But the research progress was still not very smooth, no matter how powerful the cultivated spiritual herbs were, they always failed during refining.
This problem troubled Muyue Nation for a long time until one day, Mu Xiaoqi, after another failure, raised his doubts.
"Well... even if we don't refine the newly grown spiritual herbs, they have fifty percent of the effect of normal pills. Why do we have to put them in the pill furnace? Can't we just eat them directly?"
Mu Xiaoqi's words were very ordinary, but for Muyue Nation, they were words that could change the history of alchemy!
Regarding what Mu Xiaoqi said, everyone had only one thought in their hearts at that time...
Xiaoqi's got a point... since we can grow them directly, why do we need to put them in the pill furnace?
What? Does refining them improve the taste?
Suddenly, Muyue Nation found a new direction, which was to grow pills directly from the ground.
In the past, pills were born from refining various medicinal materials, but Muyue Nation could let the medicinal materials fuse during the growth process, and the resulting spiritual herbs directly had the effect of pills.
With Mu Bai's increasingly absurd statements, even the Great Elder was confused...
Because the path Mu Bai and the others took was absolutely revolutionary.
This was a capability that could make alchemists obsolete.
Fortunately, Mu Bai's next words relieved the Great Elder.
Because through their hard research, Muyue Nation discovered that pills directly grown in the ground could only be low-grade pills, and high-grade pills must be refined using various special methods.
So these pills grown directly from the ground could only be low-grade, with no possibility of success for high-grade ones.
Moreover, even the current low-grade pills, when grown from the ground, could only have half the effect of normal low-grade pills, and couldn't be considered true spiritual herbs.
Regarding Mu Bai and the others' description, Chu Xinghe was already at a loss for words...
What... wasn't my Medicine Saint's inheritance supposed to be professional?
Why is there no record of such a bizarre method in the Medicine Saint's inheritance?
So are you, Muyue Nation, trying to defy the heavens? Are you planning to surpass the Medicine Saint? Have you considered that doing this makes my Medicine Saint's inheritance look bad?
Before Chu Xinghe could snap out of his confusion, Mu Bai also talked about the difficulties they were currently facing. Recently, Muyue Nation encountered challenges on the path of pill fusion.
Normal pills must be fused under the impetus of spirit flames. Although Muyue Nation used wood spirits to fuse spiritual herbs, allowing them to combine and produce some pill effects.
But without the refining of spirit flames, fifty percent efficacy was already the limit, and Mu Bai hadn't found a way to further enhance the efficacy!
Regarding the difficulties Mu Bai and the others were facing, the Great Elder expressed comfort and believed that Mu Bai and the others would surely find a new way!
Sima Bian even jumped out and assured Mu Bai, "Senior Brother Mu Bai, rest assured, whatever you need next, just say the word. I, Sima Bian, representing the entire Northern Branch, will get it for you!"
After comforting Mu Bai, the Great Elder glanced at the calm-faced Xinghe and then spoke to Mu Bai, "Mu Bai, in the path of alchemy, your Senior Brother Xinghe has the Medicine Saint's inheritance. I think you should consult him more, he will surely open up a new path for you!"
Hearing the Great Elder's words, Mu Bai nodded solemnly and looked expectantly at the calm-faced Senior Brother Xinghe beside him.
Facing Mu Bai and the Great Elder's expectations, Chu Xinghe was speechless...
Chu Xinghe really wanted to tell the Great Elder and Mu Bai that the Medicine Saint's inheritance doesn't have this at all...
Don't even mention the Medicine Saint's inheritance, even if you bring the Medicine Saint here, he'd be just as confused as I am, okay?
But can I say that the Medicine Saint's inheritance doesn't have it now?
If I say it, wouldn't it be a blow to Senior Brother Xinghe's reputation?
After much thought, Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth and spoke, "What Junior Brother Mu Bai said earlier is correct. As for how to further improve the quality, my suggestion is that we need fire!"
"The fusion of spiritual herbs cannot do without fire, so we should set fire in the fields!"
As soon as Chu Xinghe said this, the Great Elder and Sima Bian were dumbfounded on the spot.
What... Xinghe, do you hear what you're saying?
Setting fire in the fields?
Are you sure you're guiding Mu Bai and the others? Are you sure you're not planning to burn the entire spiritual field?
Chu Xinghe was very sure... I just want to burn the spiritual field with a big fire.
You say there's a lack of fire, right?
Isn't that easy to solve? Just pour two barrels of fire oil into the spiritual field, you don't even need spirit flames, and all those spiritual herbs will be burnt to a crisp.
Once this fire burns, the entire Grand Sky Sect's spiritual field will be destroyed... don't worry about whether the field is destroyed, just say if it's fire or not!
As for the spiritual herbs being burnt, isn't that normal? Who doesn't encounter some setbacks on the research path, right?
So Senior Brother Xinghe's suggestion is to set fire!
Regarding such an absurd statement from Senior Brother Xinghe, not only the Great Elder, even Mu Bai was stunned...
Seeing Mu Bai's dumbfounded look, Chu Xinghe couldn't wait to see the scene of Mu Bai going back to set fire.
But before Chu Xinghe could be happy for a second, Mu Bai suddenly jumped up from the ground!
"Senior Brother Xinghe is right! Set fire! We need to set fire!"
The whole crowd: "???"
At this moment, seeing the excited Mu Bai jumping up, not to mention Chu Xinghe, even the Great Elder was confused.
What... Mu Bai... what your Senior Brother Xinghe just said was too absurd... you don't really need to take it to heart.
But just as the Great Elder was about to speak, Mu Bai shouted excitedly, "Fire! It's fire! The reason our fusion can't reach the highest level is because we're lacking fire!"
"Set fire in the fields! As long as we set fire in the fields, it will definitely succeed! Mu Bai thanks Senior Brother Xinghe for the guidance! Please, Great Elder, Senior Brother Xinghe, move to the spiritual fields with me to set fire!"
Mu Bai said as he rushed out, the Great Elder was also startled, was Mu Bai really crazy?
Is he really going to set fire in the spiritual fields?
Chu Xinghe was also excited, Mu Bai, oh Mu Bai, you've finally understood this time, right!
Go set fire in the spiritual fields, don't worry, you handle the burning, today you handle burning the spiritual fields for me, I'll handle the Great Elder's wrath!
After all, the idea of setting fire was proposed by your Senior Brother Xinghe.
If the entire spiritual field is burnt to a crisp, if the Great Elder doesn't punish me in his rage, I'd feel embarrassed, okay!
Your Senior Brother Xinghe is just one step away from becoming a Seventh Grade Martial Saint, as long as my elite disciple status is removed, your Senior Brother Xinghe's Seventh Grade is secured!
This time, you in Muyue Nation finally did something right.
Burn the spiritual fields! Senior Brother Xinghe supports you wholeheartedly!
Sima Bian was dumbfounded on the side... how did we suddenly start talking about setting fire?
Actually, having half the effect of pills isn't bad, the stuff made by Zhou Medical Hall didn't even have half the effect of normal pills.
The pills made by our Feng City Formation at most had eighty percent of the normal pill's effect, we don't really need to aim so high...
Fifty percent is fine...
How did it end up with setting fire to the spiritual fields... Great Elder, aren't you going to stop them?
And also, Senior Brother Xinghe, why are you so excited hearing Mu Bai wants to set fire?
That's our Grand Sky Sect's spiritual fields... if they get burnt, wouldn't our Grand Sky Sect suffer a huge loss?
Sima Bian quickly tried to persuade Senior Brother Xinghe... the spiritual fields can't be burnt, if they are, the sect will suffer greatly.
But it was better if Sima Bian didn't speak, because as soon as he did, Senior Brother Xinghe seemed so excited he was about to jump!
Sima Bian was dumbfounded... Senior Brother Xinghe, why are you so excited hearing the sect will suffer greatly?
If it were anyone else, I'd suspect you're a spy from the Demonic Sect...
