My Way

Chapter 107 [Nature of True Qi] and [Alchemist]

three days later.

Early morning hours.

The top floor of Huangyun Restaurant.

In a large room with the most luxurious style.

Ling Wuyuan was staring at the medicine cauldron in front of him, or rather, staring at the flames that were repeatedly burning the cauldron.

At this moment.

Unlike before, we can only choose the stupidest way to manually control the flame direction and temperature.

After successfully possessing true Qi, Ling Wuyuan finally escaped from the predicament of having knowledge but being unable to apply it.

He is already able to control the flame through his own true energy and even create flame out of thin air, thereby perfectly adjusting the state of the medicine cauldron!
Yes.

Ling Wuyuan can create flames out of thin air.

Although his true Qi was not of fire attribute, or even any of the five most common elements of [gold], [wood], [water], [fire], and [earth], Ling Wuyuan could still create fire out of thin air.

The reason why this is so is that Ling Wuyuan himself cannot explain the specific reason.

He could only feel the true energy in his body, which was a higher level of power.

therefore.

After experiments, he found that as long as he was willing and able to understand the other party's nature, he could basically simulate any attribute of true Qi, and even achieve better actual results than the simulated target.

It was also from that time that he finally determined that he would become a master of alchemy and refining... and perhaps he could produce and sell his own products.

Ok.

Self-produced and sold.

At least that's how it works when refining medicine.

The reason why he refined medicine was really to have enough food to eat and practice.

Saving the world or something like that...he's not interested in that.

As for the strange characteristics of his true qi, Ling Wuyuan thought about it and silently decided to show it as little as possible in front of others, or to only show a few fixed properties.

Able to convert various types of true qi at will...

Ling Wuyuan had never seen it even in the classics left by the Canghu Bailiu Palace.

The above at most describes some people with special talents, who can actually possess several types of true qi at the same time.

As the saying goes, when people go out to make a living in the underworld, most of the time their identities are given by themselves. In Ling Wuyuan's opinion, his external personality in the future will be that of a person with the six attributes of [Five Elements - Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth] and [Gray Fog Attribute].

among them.

The single five elements attribute - [gold], [wood], [water], [fire], [earth] - is the type with the largest number of actual owners among all the attributes.

of course.

Being universal and common does not mean that the [Five Elements] are weak.

Ninety-nine percent of the strong people in this world have these five attributes.

As for those who possess all five elements, they are often dubbed as super geniuses in the records of Canghu Bailiu Palace. Once discovered, they will immediately become the core seed players of their respective forces. Everyone's basic understanding of them is that they practice very quickly and their effects are all-powerful!
They can try almost any extraordinary profession.

No matter if it's the [Alchemist] who is most suitable for the [Fire Element], or the [Planter] who is most suitable for the [Wood Element], or the [Formation Master] who is most suitable for the [Earth Element]... they can basically get involved according to their interests without getting half the result with twice the effort.

Therefore, people with other attributes can often only choose one or two paths.

Then people who have all five elements are born with countless paths!

Which route you want to take depends on your interests!
Not only are they capable of both civil and military affairs, they are also capable of logistics!

This kind of public perception is indeed very useful to Ling Wuyuan.

At least people won't wonder why he needs to learn so many skills.

As for his fundamental nature, those [gray fogs], Ling Wuyuan decided to make up an excuse later.

Don't ask. The only thing you're asking is about the variation of properties and special physique!
So it's normal to look a little weird!!

Well, that makes sense...

Anyway, this world itself has a lot of strange attributes. After all, there are all kinds of birds in the forest.

The only thing that is not very reasonable is that having six attributes at the same time makes it more or less conspicuous and can easily attract people's attention.

But... six attributes made Wu Yuan feel that he had already understated the number.

If he has so many attributes that you don’t know which one to use.

As for the others, there are so few attributes that men are silent and women cry, and there is no choice at all.
-
About thirty minutes later.

Ling Wuyuan was still refining the medicine.

Through his own true qi, he can perfectly control which areas the flames will mainly burn when burning the medicine cauldron.

And through his outward-expanding [Circle of No Leakage], he can also observe 360 degrees of the scenes inside the medicine cauldron that are obscured by many objects, such as which medicines are about to have their medicinal properties extracted and to what state they have been heated, so that Ling Wuyuan can slow down or speed up his processing of them in a targeted manner.

now.

Under his control, it seemed as if there were invisible hands inside and outside the medicine cauldron, repeatedly adjusting the states of the various medicines and flames.

Gradually.

A strong smell of medicinal herbs began to be emitted.

The beginning.

It doesn't smell so good.

It's more like a bit pungent.

It can easily make people cough.

But as time went on, it wasn't long before a faint medicinal fragrance began to slowly spread.

When the medicinal fragrance spread out through the window, even the many pedestrians on the street, who were tens or hundreds of meters away, became aware of what was happening.

“…What’s that smell?”

"This smells so good!?"

Animals with a more sensitive sense of smell, such as wild dogs and horses on the street... and even birds in the sky, feel things more strongly and immediately become a little agitated!
This immediately caused waves of surprised exclamations.

"Why are these wild dogs and animals so excited?"

"Besides... there are so many birds gathering at the Huangyun Restaurant!!"

Faced with these noises, a figure who was riding a horse and walking on the street also showed surprise after sniffing.

"Alchemist?"

"And he is a high-level alchemist?"

“Is there still such talent in this town?”

Although there are many fire-type practitioners who are suitable to be alchemists, 99% of them will never reach the [Qi Nourishing Realm] in their lifetime.

This means that their fire talent is actually in a Schrödinger state of "existing but equal to not having".

And when those guys successfully reach the [Qi Nourishing Realm] and are able to use fire-based true Qi, the so-called suitability actually only means that they can control flames more finely. Whether they have the talent for handling medicinal materials and refining medicine is still unknown.

It's like, logically speaking, everyone is suitable for learning, after all, everyone has a brain, but everyone's brain has obvious differences in configuration, which makes the IQ gap between each other really huge.

In addition, the knowledge about alchemists is often a precious collection of major forces.

Many times, even if people really have this talent, they cannot get access to relevant knowledge, and thus they are completely unaware that they are actually a genius in alchemy, and they only know how to fight and kill...

This fully demonstrates that you have the foundation, but whether this foundation is sufficient and whether you can make full use of it are all crucial issues.

In the end, the number of alchemists naturally became very small, and they gradually became some kind of relatively rare and high-end technical talents.
