Chapter 378: Mythology-style Medicinal Refinement Technique
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
“Did captain just discover something?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Let’s hope he would have some new ideas. Before this, all his methods were extremely effective. He’s simply the bane of the spirit race. It’s too miraculous!”
…
Everyone was celebrating due to having exterminated the small team of spirit lifeforms that pursued them.
However, the captain Feng Lin didn’t say anything and immediately returned to his own cabin. It was unknown what he was researching.
Everyone couldn’t help but exchange mutual glances as they started a discussion. Their voices and words were filled with antic.i.p.ation and conjectures.
If their captain could still use that powerful method earlier to injure and kill the spirit lifeforms, they might really be able to…
Survive!
Numerous gazes turned to the door of Feng Lin’s cabin that was tightly closed. Hope could be seen in their eyes. The states of heart of all the freshmen here were now completely different.
But Feng Lin who was the cause of everything was completely ignorant about this. Then again, even if he knew, he wouldn’t have cared too much about this.
He was currently researching the nature of the crimson refinement cinnabar.
The power of the cinnabar pills exceeded his imagination. It was like an energy catalyst that could cause energy substances to have violent and intense reactions, releasing a vast quant.i.ty of power that reinforced the power of self-destruction.
And the cinnabar itself was just a catalyst, it wouldn’t consume too much energy.
To the spirit race, the cinnabar pill was simply like a bout of plague. As long as they came in contact with the slightest bit of it, their lives would be heavily injured.
Poison to others is good medicine for oneself!
The power of the cinnabar pills was so shocking. How could Feng Lin not want to research it more?
He already managed to see a ray of hope for survival.
As to whether they would be able to slaughter a path of survival out from the grasp of the spirit race, it all depended on the quant.i.ty of the cinnabar pills they had.
What he needed to do now was to gather everyone to concoct the crimson refinement cinnabar pills.
After all, if he was the only one concocting it, how long would he need before he could ama.s.s a sizable quant.i.ty?
Only by working together with everyone would the chances of their survival be increased substantially.
The methods of concoction were truly extremely complex, touching on the complicated alchemy methods. These were all secrets that couldn’t be easily pa.s.sed down.
It was impossible for Feng Lin to pa.s.s this knowledge to all the freshmen. Even if he wanted to, they wouldn’t understand the principles within.
Hence, he had to simplify the creation process, changing the crimson refinement cinnabar pill into the crimson refinement genetic potion or crimson refinement medicinal crystals.
This wasn’t a foolish idea!
Before this, Feng Lin already had the experience of simplifying the Dustfall Immortal Pill. As long as he spent some effort, it wouldn’t be difficult for him.
After some thoughts, he already had the feeling that this was the correct path.
If he wanted to simplify a pill formula, the four words formula was of the essence – Water refinement fire evaporation!
Genetic potions were different from alchemy pills which were refined by fire from the start to the end. Water refinement fire evaporation meant that the geneticist had to use genetic medicinal refinement methods to handle the medicinal ingredients, causing them to be distilled into a liquid state as he combined them together. The geneticist then had to use techniques like medicinal potency reaction to test the solution. The technique used had to be gentle, using mortal fire to evaporate the liquid, causing the liquid solution to turn into medicinal crystals.
By doing so, the product naturally wouldn’t be alchemy pills whose medicinal potency was completely concentrated.
But although the medicinal potency would be reduced, it would still be stronger compared to ordinary genetic potions.
As long as he could simplify the formula, even a geneticist would be able to concoct this.
These steps sounded simple, but different alchemy pills required different simplification methods. He had to do more research.
Feng Lin closed his eyes and sank into contemplation. His thoughts spun rapidly. After some time, his eyes gleamed brightly; he already had a solution.
Creak, creak, creak~
A crystal with a faint reddish hue was brought before him. It was quickly cut through by the apparatus and became powder. After that, the impurities were removed and a rare agent was mixed together with it, eventually formulating it into a red-colored solution.
Feng Lin followed the formula, adding the star sand, black crystal ores, and the other required ingredients. He ground them into powder before mixing them with the solution. After that, he used the power of fire to provide the evaporation effect, promoting the reaction of medicinal particles.
A subtle reaction was produced by the red solution. It suddenly glowed with an amber hue before the color deepened to the color of the crimson refinement cinnabar pill.
Feng Lin started to act. His spirit force carefully seeped into the bottles of solution as he paid close attention to their reactions. Occasionally, he would use his spirit force to aid the fusion of medicinal properties. All the changes that happened would be within his grasp.
After awakening the Monkey King Gene, his spirit force had grown to an unimaginable extent. He now had precise control over micro-particles with just a sliver of his thought. This was truly miraculous to the extreme.
Now, Feng Lin could precisely control the reaction process of potion concoction. Once flaws or strangeness appeared, he could instantly act to fix them.
Very soon, a medicinal smell filled with the gunpowder aura of the cinnabar pill was emitted from the crimson solution.
Medicinal Crystallization Technique!
Feng Lin didn’t stop to rest. He immediately started the next step and used his spirit force to control the strength of the fire. He was evaporating the liquid solution, burning all impurities away and causing medicinal crystals to form.
He sent his spirit force into it, aiding the fusion from a microscopic point of view.
The power of mortal fire could only forcefully mix the medicinal properties together, and it had no way to truly unleash the miraculous effect of a true fire. But at the very least, it could retain 50% to 60% of the potency of an alchemy pill.
If it was purely a genetic potion, it would already be very good if it could retain 20% to 30% of the medicinal potency.
After all, the Medicinal Crystallization Technique was just a simplified technique of alchemy. Even though it wasn’t as powerful as alchemy, it still contained some principles that were more outstanding than normal potion concoction.
This was a brand new technique that Feng Lin created by fusing his insights of both systems.
Feng Lin calmed his thoughts and began to focus.
Although this was merely the simplified version of the cinnabar pill, the process was extremely complex.
He didn’t dare to fantasize and had to focus fully. He increased the strength of the fire to aid the fusion process.
In his eyes, red-colored crystals were gradually forming in the solution. These crystals sparkled brilliantly as a violent and savage aura was emitted from them. They felt like bombs that could explode at any moment and had the power to blast everything in the surroundings into pieces.
The medicinal potency was too powerful!
Feng Lin felt that something was wrong.
The crimson refinement cinnabar pill was a killing pill. Its might was incomparably tyrannical, different from those alchemy pills whose medicinal potency was locked in.
These crystals contained the fire element within. Once they were fully formed, they would be extremely sensitive to touch and could be considered as transcendent gunpowder. Once they exploded, the consequences would be unimaginably dire.
The crystal bodies were too big; thus, it was too powerful and was p.r.o.ne to explode at the slightest stimulus.
He contemplated a little and thought of a solution.
His spirit force acted like a blade, rapidly slicing away the excess medicinal potency, causing the large crystals in the midst of forming to be split into several smaller pieces.
Chi, chi, chi~
The aura of gunpowder emitted out as the solution reduced in volume.
Feng Lin also specially controlled the fire, weakening its intensity. If the fire intensity was too high, it would be easy for the crystals to explode.
When the solution was completely evaporated, the fire died out.
A pile of tiny red crystals floated in the air by virtue of Feng Lin’s spirit force.
Feng Lin controlled and moved them into vacuum test tubes.
Although the crystals looked ordinary, he could sense a violent aura from them.
His heart stirred as a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Alchemy was too vast and profound. There were numerous recipes with extraordinary medicinal effects that contained their own usefulness.
Currently, his mental energy had a limit to it, and his time was limited as well.
Alchemy pills took up too much effort, so there was no need for him to fully master all alchemy recipes.
He could completely simplify them into genetic potions. Although the medicinal potency would drop drastically, it would allow him to enjoy a quant.i.tative advantage.
To the current him, this option was truly more beneficial.
Simplification of alchemy pills into medicinal refinement?
Feng Lin faintly sensed that he had found a method that could produce the greatest effect from the alchemy pills found in ancient mythology records.
