At the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.
Xu Luochen imparted alchemy knowledge seriously.
On the other hand, Ye Ping listened attentively.
"Little Junior Brother, medicine is 30% poisonous, this is an iron law that cannot be changed."
"However, do you know what the core of refining a non-poisonous pill is?"
Xu Luochen asked.
"I don't know."
Ye Ping thought about it for a while, but he couldn't figure it out.
If it was an iron law that medicine was 30% poisonous, then theoretically, it would be impossible to refine non-poisonous pills.
Although he had never refined pills before, Ye Ping had some knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine in his previous life.
There were all sorts of toxins in medicinal herbs, and there might be a certain kind of medicine that was very nutritious, but it was too Yang. Hence, people with weak bodies could not eat nutritious things, and they would easily die.
In order to suppress the Yang energy, Yin nourishing medicine had to be added. However, Yin nourishing medicine also had its shortcomings, and one would have to add other medicinal herbs to reduce the toxicity of the Yin nourishing medicine.
Once several medicinal herbs were added, some mixed toxins would be produced.
Hence, theoretically, it was impossible to solve this problem.
Besides, non-poisonous pills could also be understood as all-purpose pills that could be consumed by any physique, existence, and situation.
Hence, Ye Ping really couldn't think of any way to solve the problem of pill toxins.
However, Xu Luochen smiled indifferently and then spoke slowly.
"Actually, it's very simple. Without medicinal herbs, there won't be any pill toxins, right?"
Xu Luochen said.
After hearing his words, Ye Ping couldn't help but be stunned.
At first glance, it seemed to make sense.
'But … can I refine pills without medicinal herbs? '
'Senior Brother Luochen, I might not know anything, but I'm not a fool. '
In an instant, Ye Ping fell silent.
He didn't know what to say.
'It feels a little ridiculous. '
Sensing the change in Ye Ping's expression, Xu Luochen did not panic at all. Instead, he became even calmer.
"Junior Brother Ye, do you think I'm fooling you?"
Xu Luochen asked with a calm expression.
"Of course not."
Ye Ping shook his head and denied it.
Although he did have some doubts in his heart, Ye Ping really didn't think that Xu Luochen was fooling him. He just felt that it was a little ridiculous.
In the next moment, Xu Luochen chuckled.
"It's normal for you to have doubts, but if the alchemy technique I teach you is the same as ordinary alchemy techniques, how can it be called unique?"
Xu Luochen smiled confidently.
As soon as he said that, Ye Ping couldn't help but ponder.
That's right, how could the things imparted by a peerless expert be the same as those imparted by an ordinary person?
Before Ye Ping could say anything, Xu Luochen continued.
"Junior brother, it's normal for you to have doubts in your heart. It's because you don't understand, you don't understand, and that's why you have doubts."
"For example, when you are still a mortal in the mortal world, and someone tells you that there is a peerless Sword Immortal in this world who can shatter a star with a single strike. Would you believe it?"
Xu Luochen spoke slowly.
As soon as he said that, Ye Ping immediately understood.
Yes, there were many things that were not impossible. It was just that one could not do it. That was why one felt that it was impossible. However, even if one could not do it, it did not mean that others in this world could not do it.
At the thought of this, Ye Ping immediately spoke.
"Thank you for dispelling my doubts, Senior Brother. Junior Brother is looking at the sky from the bottom of the well."
Ye Ping completely understood and even felt ashamed. He didn't expect that he would become a frog in a well one day.
"Don't blame yourself," Xu Luochen said with a gentle smile.
"The trick to refining non-poisonous pills is that there is no need for medicinal herbs. Junior Brother, there are no more than three steps in the art of alchemy, namely, obtaining medicinal herbs, refining them with spirit fire, and finally condensing the pill with the Dharmic Dao."
"However, what is the root of medicinal herbs?"
Xu Luochen looked at Ye Ping and asked seriously.
'What is the root of medicinal herbs?'
Ye Ping frowned. He didn't know how to answer that question.
Soon, seeing that Ye Ping did not reply, Xu Luochen spoke up.
"The root of medicinal herbs is spiritual energy."
"Spiritual herbs of heaven and earth are all born in places with spiritual energy, so medicinal herbs are condensed in another form of spiritual energy."
"However, why are medicinal herbs poisonous? It's because spiritual energy is the purest thing in heaven and earth. However, when it grows, it will be contaminated by the postnatal five elements, and it will naturally condense into filthy Qi. "
"That's why poison is condensed."
"So, refining non-poisonous pills is to directly discard the medicinal herbs and condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with supreme Dharmic Dao to condense supreme-grade pills. Do you understand?"
Xu Luochen's words were brilliant, especially the last sentence, which was like a huge bell that exploded in Ye Ping's head.
'Directly condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and use supreme Dharmic Dao to condense supreme-grade pills?'
'This!
This!
This! '
Previously, Ye Ping had indeed suspected that Xu Luochen was joking with him, but after hearing his theory, Ye Ping was immediately shocked.
He no longer had any doubts, because this theory seemed to be extremely accurate.
'What do the treasures of the world of immortal cultivation contain?'
'They contain spiritual energy.'
Hence, Xu Luochen was right.
Medicinal herbs were another form of transformation of spiritual energy.
The reason why medicinal herbs were poisonous was because they were contaminated by the postnatal five elements.
That was the difference between connate and postnatal.
It was just like how humans had a connate body before they were born.
However, after they were born, they would immediately become postnatal.
Unless they didn't breathe, eat, drink, or come into contact with anything of the five elements, that was impossible.
Xu Luochen's theory seemed complicated, but as Ye Ping thought about it carefully, it seemed very simple.
Using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense pills.
Such pills naturally did not contain any pill poison because they were not refined from medicinal herbs but condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"I understand."
Ye Ping was completely convinced by Xu Luochen.
The doubts in his heart vanished in an instant.
"Good, very good. Junior Brother Ye, since you've already gained enlightenment, I'll record all the steps of the non-poisonous pill concoction method in this book. You can come back to me when you're done concocting the pill."
Xu Luochen immediately handed a book to Ye Ping.
"Thank you for the method, Senior Brother."
Ye Ping grabbed the pill book solemnly with excitement in his eyes.
'It's a non-poisonous pill refinement method. '
'If I master this alchemy technique, won't I be able to upgrade by consuming pills in the future? ' 'Don't I have to worry about the side effects? '
"Ye Ping, do you have any other doubts? If you don't, feel free to ask. "
After handing the secret manual to Ye Ping, Xu Luochen continued to ask.
If there was nothing else, he would leave first.
However, Ye Ping did have a doubt.
"Junior Brother indeed has a question. I hope Senior Brother can answer it."
"What is it?"
"Senior Brother, can I consume a Qi Refinement Pill if I'm not cultivating?"
Ye Ping asked curiously.
'Can I consume a Qi Refinement Pill if I'm not cultivating? '
Xu Luochen gave an affirmative answer almost without any hesitation.
"A Qi Refinement Pill is a great tonic for Qi Refinement cultivators, but for cultivators without a cultivation level, it won't have any effect on them. It can only nourish the spirit meridians."
Xu Luochen said. That was common sense.
A Qi Refinement Pill would not poison a mortal who was not in the Qi Refinement realm to death or cause his body to explode. However, it wouldn't have much effect and could only nourish the spirit meridians. Only some large sects or cultivation families would do that.
After all, a Qi Refinement Pill was expensive and who would use it to nourish the spirit meridians?
"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."
Ye Ping nodded as he finally understood.
However, Xu Luochen soon continued, "If there's anything you don't understand in the future, you can go to the Sutra Pavilion to read the alchemy manuals. Most of the questions are in the books."
Xu Luochen kindly reminded.
Although there were not many books in the sect's Kṣitigarbha Pavilion, there were still plenty of basic books. Many common sense questions were also written in the books so that Ye Ping wouldn't have to worry about such minor problems.
As soon as he said that, Ye Ping immediately understood.
During this period of time, he had been comprehending the sword marks, so he had forgotten about the existence of the Scripture Pavilion.
At the thought of this, Ye Ping immediately thanked Xu Luochen again.
"Alright, I won't disturb you any longer. Junior Brother Ye, study the Dao of alchemy well and come find me after you've concocted a medicinal pill. If you can't concoct it, don't worry. After all, there are three thousand great Daos."
Xu Luochen exhorted for the last time before leaving in a good mood.
Look at what it means to be a teacher.
Look at what it means to impart knowledge.
Look at yourself.
Look at Eldest Senior Brother?
Sigh, he had no patience at all.
How was he going to inherit the position of Sect Leader in the future?
Should I compete for the position of Sect Leader in the future?
Xu Luochen was in a good mood, and he even began to think about whether he should compete with Su Changyu for the position of Sect Leader.
Right then.
On the back cliff.
Ye Ping began to flip through the secret manual of non-poisonous pills.
