Then wouldn’t the subsequent fusion phase be nuclear fusion?

The more Cheng Xu thought about it, the more he doubted life. Speaking of which, was it really okay to use his own Jindan to carry out nuclear fission?

Cheng Xu did not dare to continue cultivating.

What if he accidentally blew himself up?

Please, that was nuclear fission! It was not a game!

“Master, I have something to ask you.”

“Ask.” Chi Yao Zhenren said with a strange look in his eyes.

“That… After successfully transforming into a core, would his magic power suddenly increase by hundreds or even thousands of times?” Cheng Xu asked weakly.

Not really,” Chi Yao Zhenren said with a smile. “But the power of a spell performed with the power of the Core Transformation Realm can indeed be amplified by dozens of times. If one can practice it to the peak of the Core Transformation Realm, it is indeed possible to achieve a hundred times increase. Therefore, the Core Transformation Realm and the peak of the Core Formation Realm are two completely different worlds.”

“Hundreds of times?” Miao Changsheng exclaimed.

Cheng Xu basically confirmed his guess. The so-called Core Transformation stage was indeed a nuclear fission in the body, or a completely controllable nuclear fission.

This… Was it really scientific?

“Come, come, come. Help me deal with those materials first.”

The refinement of the Cracking Pill was very complicated. Every process and step revealed a core concept: Seeking stability.

Cheng Xu was extremely worried throughout the entire refining process.

They were afraid that the furnace would explode.

The explosion of a normal pill furnace was not a big deal, but the explosion of a cracking pill furnace was not a joke.

Cheng Xu’s tensed nerves only relaxed a little after all the materials were thrown into the pill furnace and he used his magic power to seal the pill furnace.

“Master, what if this thing explodes?” Cheng Xu asked nervously.

“I don’t know. I’ve never encountered one before. But according to some ancient records, the cracking pill furnace explosion seems very terrifying.” Daoist Master Chi Yao shook his head.

“Then you still dare to refine the Cracking Pill in your own sect?’

Cheng Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He could only say that his master, Chi Yao Zhenren, was really magnanimous.

“Don’t worry.” Chi Yao Zhenren was secretly pleased with himself. “Since I know that the Cracking Pill is astonishingly powerful, 1 naturally made ample preparations before refining it.”

“What preparations?”

“It’s a method that I’ve researched to release medicinal energy. Once something goes wrong, 1 can use this method to disperse the medicinal energy in the pill furnace and resolve the explosion.”

While Cheng Xu was secretly surprised, he was skeptical. “Can the explosion of the Cracking Pill be resolved?”

“What else? When I tried to refine the Cracking Pill, I failed several times before 1 managed to refine one,” Perfected Chi Yao replied without hesitation.

“So powerful?”

Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng looked at Perfected Chi Yao eagerly.

“After refining the Cracking Pill, 1 will teach you the method of releasing the pill.”

***

Half a month later, the three Cracking Pills were safely produced amidst the cheers of the Medicine Celestial Valley.

Fu Yunzi arrived as promised and left with satisfaction after receiving a Cracking Pill.

As for the remaining two Cracking Pills, they were sealed in the sect’s treasure vault.

When Perfected Chi Yao received a massive amount of merit points, he further established his important position in the Medicine Celestial Valley.

Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng had also successfully mastered the method of releasing pills under Perfected Chi Yao’s guidance.

It had to be said that his master, Chi Yao Zhenren, was definitely an alchemy genius.

Through reverse pharmacology thinking, he had actually concluded a set of methods to resolve the medicinal energy. Not only did it completely prevent the occurrence of furnace explosions, but it could even reverse the situation to a certain extent when there were some small mistakes in refining the medicine.

Although it would lower the quality of the pill, it was still better than failing to refine it and wasting a cauldron of medicinal ingredients, right?

In addition, Cheng Xu and Miao Changsheng had benefited a lot from watching the whole process and Chi Yao Zhenren’s explanation and guidance.

Especially after learning the pill release method, the application of [Medicine Refinement] had stepped onto a new level:

[Medicine Refinement]

[Pharmacology Level: Level 17]

[Refining ability: Master]

Putting it this way, Cheng Xu’s current alchemy ability could already be compared to uncle-masters.

Of course, there was still a certain gap between him and his uncles. It was just that they were basically on the same level.

As for his master, Perfected Chi Yao, he was far from that.

After learning the pill release method, Cheng Xu began to refine the Muscle Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Changing Pill.

In the list of materials that Jian Yuxiang had given him previously, there were not only materials for Xiao Bao’s substitute, but also several important materials for the Muscle Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Changing Pill.

In addition to the three [Dragon Bone Grass] obtained from Yuntai Immortal’s legacy as the main ingredient, the optimized formula of the Muscle Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Changing was ready.

He had not been in a hurry to refine it previously because he wanted to wait until his refining ability had improved before refining it. After all, there were only three stalks of Dragon Bone Grass. Naturally, he had to pursue a higher quality as much as possible.

However, he did not expect his refining ability to increase to the master level so quickly.

Half a day later, under Cheng Xu’s Semi-Automatic refining, a cauldron of Muscle Tendon Cleansing and Marrow Changing Pills was successfully produced.

There were a total of three pills, all of which were high-grade!

“You’re already at the Master level, but you still can’t get any top-grade items?”

Although the high-grade list of Refinement was already very strong, Cheng Xu was not satisfied with this result.

Then, he didn’t continue refining the other two furnaces and went to consult his master, Perfected Chi Yao.

However, when he arrived at his master’s cave abode, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Chi Yao Zhenren sat cross-legged on the bed in high spirits. From time to time, he would spit out the word “Medicine”, and an ancient seal character “Medicine” vaguely flickered above his head.

“Holy sh*t!” Cheng Xu naturally understood what this was, and his heart was pounding. “It really came out?”

Perhaps this was the true genius of the alchemists.

Cheng Xu was known as a pill refining genius because of the system cheat, while his master, Chi Yao Zhenren, was a true pill refining genius. He was a grandmaster of medicine that was created by talent, hard work, and passion!

No, the word ‘grandmaster’ was not enough.

In Cheng Xu’s opinion, his master, Perfected Chi Yao, was completely worthy of the word ‘Medicine Immortal’ in the Medicine Celestial Valley.

One had to know that Cheng Xu was a cheater. What kind of realm was it to be able to convince a cheater?

Just like in a certain PUBG game, those big shots who could complete the feat of killing immortals were really awesome!

“Haha, Little Cheng, you came at the right time. Look what I’ve made!”

Seeing Cheng Xu come over, Chi Yao Zhenren was like a happy child who wanted to share his joy with others.

“Medicine. The True Word’s of Medicine?”

Uh,” Chi Yao Zhenren pondered and shook his head. “Although I don’t know if there’s a ‘medicine’ word in the Nine Words True Word of Medicine, this set of mantra should be different from the real ‘medicine’ word.”

Cheng Xu went forward curiously and waited for his master to continue explaining.

“How can 1 tell you?” Chi Yao Zhenren organized his words excitedly. “This set of medicine words that I’ve come up with should actually be called the Medicine Foundation Mantra.”

“Medicine base?” Cheng Xu was even more puzzled.

The so-called medicine base referred to the most basic medicinal structure of a medicine that could produce an effect on the human body. It was a concept that was not commonly used in pharmacology.

This was because the vast majority of medicinal pills would not involve changes at the medicinal Foundation Level.

“That’s right. The two sets of mantras left behind by the founder are basically imitating the medicinal properties and effects. They’re not the true medicinal properties, so they can only take effect in the body for a short period of time. The reason for this is because there’s no medicinal base to support it,” Chi Yao Zhenren explained excitedly. “So, 1 was wondering if 1 could simulate the situation of the medicinal base with the mantra spell to achieve the true medicinal properties and effects.”

Cheng Xu only understood half of it, but he could roughly understand Chi Yao Zhenren’s train of thought.

“Does that mean it can be used in conjunction with other mantras?”

“That’s right, that’s what I mean.” Chi Yao Zhenren nodded excitedly. “Unfortunately, this technique is not perfect yet. Some of the situations are different from what I expected, so 1 have to study it further.”

Cheng Xu nodded slightly. “You mean you can’t use it now?”

“It can be used, but it doesn’t have any effect. But I’ve already found the problem and will be able to perfect it very soon. Oh right, is there anything you need from me?” Daoist Master Chi Yao said.

“Disciple has recently encountered some problems in refining medicine.”

“All, that’s really rare. You actually have a time when you’re confused.” Chi Yao Zhenren’s eyes lit up as if he had found the meaning of being a master.

“Disciple’s pill refining ability has always been growing, but I’ve never been able to refine top grade pills. Even those very simple pills can only be refined into high grade pills at most.”

Chi Yao Zhenren was slightly shocked, but he didn’t know what he was shocked about. After calming down, he muttered, “Come, refine a few pills for me to see.”

Cheng Xu did not waste any time and directly used Semi-Automatic Medicine Refinement to give his master a live performance.

In one go, he refined several commonly seen medicinal pills. Without exception, they were all high-grade.

Perfected Chi Yao looked at it from the beginning and seemed to understand something. “It seems that it’s similar to what I thought.”

“What is it?”

Chi Yao Zhenren smacked his lips and said, “Your forging process is too standard and too formal. It’s a little too mysterious, but it lacks a little soul and a little temperature.”

Cheng Xu was stunned. “Soul? The temperature?”

“That’s right. You’ve been refining it strictly according to the pharmacology from the beginning to the end, and there’s almost no flaw.”

“In this case… Isn’t that right?”

“Yes and no. Pharmacology is alive, not dead. The knowledge of pharmacology that has been passed down from generation to generation is only a set of standard answers that are suitable for all elixirs. It is not the best solution for a single elixir. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Cheng Xu suddenly understood. “You mean that just by following the medicinal theory in the book, you can only refine high-grade pills?”

“Yes, if you want to refine a top-grade medicinal pill, you have to have a deeper understanding of the medicinal properties of each medicinal pill.”

“Thank you for your guidance, Master.”

Cheng Xu thanked him joyfully. He was suddenly enlightened.

The system gave him the option of Semi-Automatic Refining, not so that he could repeat the process of Fully Automatic Refining, but so that he could find the optimal solution for each pill.

Chi Yao Zhenren nodded in gratification. “If you want to refine a supreme-grade pill, you have to find a familiar understanding of the fundamentals of medicine. This understanding will be the foundation for you to form your own medicine path in the future.”

“Then how can i find my own Dao of medicine?”

“You can only rely on yourself to feel and comprehend this.” Chi Yao Zhenren smiled. “Just like how some people are used to using their left hand, some people are used to using their right hand, some people like sweet things, and some people like salty things. Every alchemist’s path of medicine is different, but it must be the most suitable for them..”
