Chapter 186 Technology and Hard Work, the Power of Industry

Chemical synthesis alchemy seems simple.

It’s actually not easy at all.

Although Zhang Wei had deduced a highly feasible path based on the experiences of countless people in his previous life, no one knew whether he would succeed in the world of cultivation where the rules were different.

After all, in this world, no one has ever walked this road.

If there is some genetic lock inside the elixir of this world, then no matter how beautiful Zhang Wei's idea is, it will eventually fail.

But it doesn't matter.

Give it a try.

Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu now have enough time and resources to try this path that has never been taken in the world of immortal cultivation.

If they can succeed, future generations will at least have to call them "Taoist Ancestors".

However, as a pioneer of the new system, Zhang Wei has an advantage different from other real pioneers, that is, he is standing on the shoulders of giants.

The hundreds of years of experience accumulated by countless people in his previous life are all in his mind, so he can avoid many detours.

For example, all the experimental instruments and production machinery needed for chemical synthetic pharmaceuticals.

After Zhang Wei combined the knowledge of refining equipment from the world of immortal cultivation, he built the prototype of a laboratory in less than a year.

All the experimental instruments needed for the experiment were made by Zhang Wei, a fourth-grade upper-class weapon refiner and a third-grade middle-class talisman master, and appeared in the world of immortal cultivation in the form of second-grade talismans.

I just don't know whether Zhang Wei's experimental talismans can compare in accuracy with those high-precision experimental instruments in his previous life.

After all, Zhang Wei was just a lonely librarian in his previous life and had never been to the laboratories within those pharmaceutical companies.

But it's better to have it than not to have it.

In this way, it took three full years for Master Huaizhu to finally figure out his apprentice's chemical knowledge.

Zhang Wei couldn't wait to pull Huaizhu to make the first attempt at chemical synthesis and alchemy.

In this way, after three days and three nights of sleepless experiments, with the unremitting efforts of the two high-level monks Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu, the master and disciple successfully obtained a bunch of white...

Monosodium glutamate.

It has another name.

That's MSG.

Of course, this is no ordinary MSG.

This is the immortal version of MSG!

Gululu————

In addition to the recipe, Zhang Wei prepared a soup base and then poured two spoonfuls of his own results into the pot.

Suddenly, a light and ethereal air gushed out from the boiling pot, making everyone who smelled it salivate.

This is a MSG specially developed for the world of immortal cultivation by Zhang Wei based on the market environment of the world of immortal cultivation.

In fact, to put it simply, it means infusing some spiritual energy into the process of refining MSG, and then allowing the MSG to crystallize around the spiritual energy under the action of a machine to form the so-called spiritual MSG.

To put it bluntly, it's just a showpiece.

The little bit of spiritual energy locked in MSG, if released, would not even be enough for a Qi-refining cultivator to practice for a whole day.

But this small step can ensure that Zhang Wei's MSG will not be cheap.

After all, in the world of cultivating immortals, other things, no matter how useful they are, will not be worth much, except for those that are helpful for cultivation and longevity.

If Zhang Wei only provided ordinary MSG, no matter how good its effect was, it would only be an ordinary seasoning for cultivators, and they would have to go the low-end route from then on.

High-end restaurants won't accept your food, and may even be disgusted by the foul smell of your vulgar seasonings, saying they are ruining their reputation.

But it would be different if you added some spiritual energy.

Once the MSG melts, the spiritual energy contained within will dissipate, adding a sensory impact to the whole dish.

People can tell at a glance.

Wow, this thing is amazing, it is truly the essence of taste!
So they are willing to pay.

The cost of this step is not high, but the benefits it brings are several times or even dozens of times!

After the MSG was completely dissolved, Zhang Wei took a sip, smacked his lips, and nodded.

"Master, please try it." Zhang Wei said.

"Ah."

Huaizhu nodded, then ignored the spoon that was close to him on the table and took the spoon that Zhang Wei had used.

He took a sip of the soup, savored it carefully and said, "Very delicious!"

Then Huaizhu looked at Zhang Wei and said, “Although I haven’t eaten ordinary food for many years, after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, I can easily recall my childhood memories.

I remember when I hadn’t yet embarked on the path of cultivating immortality, my father celebrated his 60th birthday and invited the most famous chef in the city to cook. At that time, I was given a small bowl of Jin Yu Man Tang soup, and the taste made me reminisce for several nights...

Later I heard that the Golden Jade Soup was cooked by the spirit chef using dozens of chickens for a day and a night, and magic was used to achieve the effect, but..."

At this point, Huaizhu paused and said with some emotion: "For you, Zijie, you only need these two spoons of MSG.

Two spoonfuls of MSG can equal the result of a spiritual chef's hard work for a day and a night, allowing ordinary mortal chefs to have the possibility of cooking spiritual food.

I have to say, Zijie, you really made something amazing!"

Zhang Wei suddenly felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Huai Zhu.

He quickly said, "I didn't invent this. I just reproduced it by standing on the shoulders of giants."

But Huaizhu only thought that Zhang Wei was being modest about these words.

Huaizhu has seen everything Zhang Wei has done over the years.

If it really was recreated standing on the shoulders of giants, then let's not talk about why she had never heard of the existence of such a thing.

Just take the fact that Zhang Wei failed hundreds of times when he first started refining those so-called experimental instruments. What about that?

Although these instruments are complicated, they are nothing more than second-level talismans after all.

She knew the weapon-refining level of her own disciples.

Zhang Wei could have made a bunch of these mere second-level magic weapons with his eyes closed. How could he have failed so many times?
So it must have been developed by Zhang Wei himself.

At most, it's just a reference to other people's experiences.

So all in all, her Zijie is still the best!

"You are still so modest."

Huaizhu smiled and shook his head, then looked at the dish of white crystals next to him and sighed, "But once this MSG comes out, I wonder how many spiritual chefs in the Seven Star Sea will be unemployed..."

"The pain of the times..."

Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, it is not just the so-called spiritual MSG. Zhang Wei also plans to replicate all the seasonings that appeared in his previous life, so that the cultivators can also feel the so-called power of technology and ruthlessness.

If this were normal, once MSG came out and there was a more convenient and cheaper source of umami, restaurants would inevitably lay off employees to reduce operating costs and thus gain greater profits.

There is no way, the market is just that big.

Even though the environment in Dongzhou is much better than that in the Five Regions, there are still only a few cultivators who can afford to eat out regularly.

Unless these laid-off spiritual chefs are willing to complete their self-downgrading and start their own businesses like some small restaurant owners in Zhang Wei's previous life, and exchange low prices and their own skills for the favor of lower-level monks, otherwise the only thing waiting for them is to change their careers.

Of course, there is another way.

Make the cake bigger!
Make use of the labor force of these highly qualified people, the immortal cultivators, to increase their income, so that they will have extra money to enjoy themselves besides practicing to improve their realm!
Of course, during this period, as the boss, it would not be excessive for him to take 40% to 50% of the value of the other party's labor, right?
"The ocean... contains infinite wealth and possibilities!" Zhang Wei looked outside Venus Island with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see the blue sea through the distance.

Zhang Wei knew that the vast ocean contained countless wealth and possibilities.

Apart from anything else, just relying on the marine resource development industries that Zhang Wei had developed in his previous life, once they are set up, they can feed a lot of people.

Unfortunately, the rules of the world of immortal cultivation are different from those in Zhang Wei’s previous life.

In Zhang Wei’s previous life, the human race was the only dominant family, but in this world of immortal cultivation.

The ocean is the home of the sirens!

Even though humans have occupied major islands and reproduced in several surrounding seas, the territory they occupy is less than one percent of the vast ocean.

The Sirens won't sit idly by and watch you dig wells and build infrastructure above their heads while doing nothing.

If Zhang Wei really starts developing the marine industry, the Sirens have countless ways to make him lose all his money!
So this matter still needs long-term consideration.

At this time, Zhang Wei slapped his forehead and thought, "Why think so much? My original goal in chemical synthesis and alchemy was to mass-produce high-level elixirs to assist me in my cultivation.

How come when I let my thoughts run wild, I think of infrastructure and people's livelihood? Could it be that the infrastructure maniac bloodline in my previous life has awakened? Are you thinking of playing a real-life version of Cities: Skylines? " Zhang Wei shook his head with a wry smile, as if he was mocking his own unrealistic ambitions.

But I kept this idea in mind.

Maybe one day, this seed will sprout and bloom beautifully.

Then, in the following days, Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu began further research on chemical synthesis alchemy.

After developing a variety of chemical synthetic seasonings, Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu finally summed up enough experience and began to refine the first kind of elixir.

Soul-quenching pill.

An ordinary first-grade mid-quality elixir, it has a certain effect of enhancing the cultivation of Qi-refining cultivators. It is one of the most commonly used elixirs by low-level cultivators in the Seven Star Sea and even in several surrounding seas.

Almost every Qi-refining cultivator would spend a budget every year to buy a bottle for their own use.

With such a huge population base of low-level practitioners, all the major forces make a lot of money every year just by selling Soul Tempering Pills.

This is still in short supply.

After all, alchemists are a minority.

And if Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu analyzed the material composition of the Quenching Spirit Pill and successfully synthesized it through chemical methods.

That is equivalent to holding the key to financial freedom.

In addition, the grade of this kind of elixir is very low and the raw materials are abundant, so there is no need to treasure it like the Thunder Holy Source Fruit.

Therefore, Huaizhu and Zhang Wei, the master and his apprentice, took it as their first target for practice.

And at this stage even Zhang Wei cannot take shortcuts.

After all, no matter how comprehensive the knowledge in his library is, it is impossible for it to record the production method of a first-grade intermediate-quality elixir in the world of immortal cultivation.

So the master and disciple could only experiment again and again.

The work was so tedious and boring, and there was no way forward, that even for the two high-level cultivators, it was a bit too much to handle.

After all, they don't have any system that rewards hard work, and there is not much positive feedback in scientific research. In the early stages, they can only use a large number of experiments and exhaustive methods to verify it over and over again, which is the most despairing thing.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu did not gain nothing.

Although they did not achieve any major breakthroughs in scientific research, their state of mind and spiritual consciousness were tempered through repeated experiments and failures.

This so-called training would probably have only made people laugh in Zhang Wei's previous life.

But in this world of extraordinary power, this training further caused a slight transformation in the spiritual consciousness of both the master and the disciple.

Under the influence of this strange power, Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu did not delay their practice because of their scientific research. Instead, they solved some of the difficulties they had previously encountered in their practice.

Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu were immediately surprised when they discovered this.

Although there is no prospect for scientific research, the progress in cultivation is not a complete loss. At least there is motivation to continue.

During the experiment, Zhang Wei also discovered a large number of elements that did not exist or had not yet been discovered in his previous life.

If these findings were published in papers, it would be like dropping a Tsar bomb on the scientific research community.

Unfortunately, in this world of immortal cultivation, no one will share this joy at the moment.

Apart from his master Huaizhu, no one understood what this meant.

In this way, time passed day after day, year after year.

In the seventh year of the chemical synthesis experiment of Queling Dan, that is, the tenth year since Zhang Wei proposed the concept of chemical synthesis alchemy...

With the humming sound produced by the machine, hundreds of snow-white pills were spit out from the outlet. A special medicinal fragrance gradually spread, filling the entire alchemy room.

If you smell the medicinal fragrance, this is indeed the genuine Soul-Tempering Pill.

But Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu were not happy, because reaching this step did not mean success.

In the past seven years, they have synthesized many pills with similar fragrance, but the actual effects are completely different from those of Qulingdan.

Most of them have become useless pills, and some are even poisonous!

Only a small number of them have the effect of the Soul Tempering Pill, but the effect is very poor and is not worth mass production at all. It can only be used as a reference for Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu to continue working in the corresponding direction.

At the moment when the "Spirit Tempering Pill" came out of the factory, Huai Zhu on the side immediately pushed over an iron cage covered with sealing runes with ease, and inside it lay an immobile demon cultivator.

The second step of chemical synthesis alchemy is clinical trial.

"This is the thirty-seventh one, right?" Zhang Wei muttered.

“I hope it will be successful this time…”

As Zhang Wei said this, he waved his hand and a "Spirit Tempering Pill" immediately flew out and went directly into the mouth of the demon cultivator. Then, under the influence of Zhang Wei's magic power, it immediately turned into a medicinal power and took effect in the demon cultivator's body.

The demon cultivator's eyes suddenly widened, and then his body began to tremble. However, under the care of a Jindan and a Yuanying, this demon cultivator who was only in the late stage of Qi Refining could not make any waves at all.

At this moment, Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu released all their spiritual thoughts, carefully scanning every inch of the demon cultivator's body and every tendon, not missing any changes after the other party took the elixir.

Finally, after an hour, the demon cultivator had completely digested the medicinal power of the Soul Tempering Pill, and Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu did not see any adverse reactions from this demon cultivator.

I even felt that the spiritual power in the other person's body became more condensed!
"Is it...successful?"

Huaizhu said with some excitement.

"We need to try some more samples."

Zhang Wei suppressed his excitement and found a few more magic cultivators to do the same thing. After changing ten people and making sure that there were no problems, he finally let go of his worries!
"Success!"

A joyful smile appeared on Zhang Wei's lips.

Then, the smile became more and more outrageous!

"Hahahahaha! We succeeded!"

Zhang Wei excitedly hugged Huai Zhu beside him, jumping up and down and shouting, "Master, we succeeded! We succeeded!"

Ren Huaizhu was also extremely excited.

Seven years of hard work and thousands of failures have finally borne fruit!
They finally mastered the chemical synthesis of the Soul Tempering Pill!
Although it was only a first-grade mid-quality elixir, this success proved that the chemical synthesis alchemy method proposed by her disciple was feasible!

If the Soul-Tempering Pill can be made using chemical synthesis, then more advanced pills can certainly be made using chemical synthesis!

Achieving elixir freedom is not a dream, and achieving financial freedom with elixirs is also not a dream.

And she, Huaizhu, can go further and higher with this chemical synthesis alchemy method. It is not impossible for her to leave her name in the history of the immortal cultivation world one day!

And all this is because of his apprentice!
So Huaizhu hugged Zhang Wei directly, held him in his arms and ravaged him hard to vent his excitement.

"Yes, Zijie, we succeeded!"

Zhang Wei was held in Huaizhu's arms, feeling the other's amazing softness, but this time he did not react as intensely and sensitively as before.

After all, the ten years of living together day and night were not fake.

The long-term companionship has reduced his vigilance towards Huaizhu.

Years of hard work have finally paid off, and it's normal to hug him and vent your emotions when you're excited.

Anyway, I won't suffer any loss, so I'll just let my master hold me.

Zhang Wei thought so in his heart.

Seeing that Zhang Wei did not resist, Huaizhu felt a different kind of happiness in his heart, different from the happiness he felt after the experiment was successful.

Two joys together equals double the joy!

There is no way. If Zhang Wei had not been hurt in love and had his essence seduced by the evil witch, Huaizhu would not have had so much trouble.

She had already gotten A.

Is it necessary to wait until now?
She was worried that if she asked Zhang Wei to be her Taoist partner directly, Zhang Wei would think that she was another bad woman who had thoughts about his body and would find an opportunity to sneak away.

Huai Zhu had no choice but to resort to this last resort, using a subtle and silent way to slowly let Zhang Wei let go of his grudges, and then complete the transformation from the master's disciple to the master's Taoist partner!
This is Huaizhu’s strategy for Zhang Wei!
"If it weren't for that evil witch, I would have gone to Wushan with Zijie to enjoy the joy of love. Why would I have to be so deliberate? Don't let me know who hurt Zijie, otherwise I will make you pay!"

Huaizhu reluctantly put Zhang Wei down and thought so in his heart.

After landing, Zhang Wei looked at his achievements and said, "According to the current technology, the same materials can be used to produce ten times more Quenching Pills by chemical synthesis than by traditional alchemy, and the quality is extremely stable, with a very low rate of bad pills. All in all, the rate of Quenching Pills produced by chemical synthesis is at least ten times higher than that of traditional alchemy.

And the speed is very fast. If I build a production line now, as long as the raw materials are in good supply, the number of Quenching Pills produced in a day can be conservatively 10,000, and the production efficiency is equivalent to the result of a thousand first-level alchemists working at full capacity for a day."

Having said that, Zhang Wei stopped talking, and Huaizhu, who was standing beside him, also had a look of emotion on his face after listening to Zhang Wei's calculations.

"Is this... the power of industry that you mentioned, Zijie?"
