Chapter 176 Biochemical Furnace
After saying this, Huo Yuhao directly opened his hand towards the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item.
"Give it to me."
The fragrant fairy trembled all over, but under the power of the Snow Emperor and the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, she dared not make any unnecessary movements.
Her petals slowly opened, and a purple pearl floated out from the stamen.
This is the essence of the fragrant and exquisite immortal product accumulated over ten thousand years, possessing the effect of truly being immune to all poisons.
Not only her, but all the immortal herbs offered their essence after looking at the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger floating above the valley.
After Huo Yuhao had stored all the essences in order, he waved his hand and dispelled the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger.
The essence of the Longing Dew consists of four drops, but Huo Yuhao only consumed one of them.
He planned to leave the rest to Gu Tong, Vina, and Hong Yue.
With Xue Di and Electrolux protecting him, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged and began to absorb the Autumn Dew with all his might.
A refreshing sensation first spread throughout the body, and then gradually flowed up the limbs and bones to the head.
Huo Yuhao did not direct the medicinal properties toward the Spirit Eye Talisman, but instead directed them all into his Niwan Palace.
The Niwan Palace is the foundation of a talisman master's cultivation, while talismans can be considered its external manifestation.
As the medicinal power of the Longing Dew surged in, Huo Yuhao's Niwan Palace was immediately filled with a clear glow.
All the talismans undulated within the Niwan Palace, and after being nourished by the medicinal power, they quickly solidified.
Huo Yuhao's mental strength was already extremely strong, and even without consuming all of the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew," it was enough for him to break through the final barrier.
A faint golden light emanated from his Niwan Palace, making him appear incredibly sacred.
This is Huo Yuhao absorbing the million-year-old spiritual energy source of Tianmeng.
A faint, yet palpable, pressure emanated from him; though subtle, it contained a chilling power.
Gradually, a breeze seemed to rise in the valley, and an invisible wave of air surged out from Huo Yuhao's body.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, eventually sweeping across the entire valley like a tornado.
The valley rumbled and trembled, and countless pebbles seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, rising majestically into the air.
"Mental power can be used like this?"
After witnessing Huo Yuhao's transformation, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin murmured in a daze.
Golden spiritual energy transformed into raging flames, surging violently above Huo Yuhao's head, making him appear as if a god had descended to earth.
Huo Yuhao's Spirit Talisman Master realm has become completely stable, and he has even taken a step forward, reaching the advanced level.
A spirit talisman master can move mountains and seas with a single thought; they can even forcibly move a mountain.
Even though its power declined somewhat in the Douluo Continent, it still allowed Huo Yuhao's spiritual power to reach a whole new level.
At least Huo Yuhao can now use his mental power to move boulders weighing several tons.
His spiritual fire could directly incinerate metal, eliminating the need for Electrolux's assistance.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, and golden flames seemed to flicker in his pupils.
He looked thoughtful.
The Transformation Rune Array condensed above his head, transforming into light, azure waves, and finally, the Myriad Transformation Flames roared out!
The air nearby suddenly vibrated, and an invisible wave of air spread out, producing a low sonic boom.
Huo Yuhao threw several medicinal herbs into the Transformation Talisman Array, and then surprisingly attempted to refine pills using the methods of weapon refining.
The core principles of weapon crafting and alchemy are largely the same.
They all emphasize the interplay and mutual restraint between material properties, and all involve the guidance and preservation of the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
Furthermore, their processes are highly similar, both requiring material purification and fusion molding.
However, this only applies to the most basic level of crafting. The differences between advanced crafting and alchemy are quite significant.
Otherwise, the Martial Ancestor's Martial Realm might have been able to steal the Flame Emperor's pill business.
After learning about the commonalities among weapon crafting, alchemy, and soul tools, Huo Yuhao wanted to try to see if all things truly possess a unified nature, and whether the final results of various paths lead to the same destination.
In the vast world, weapon crafting and alchemy are clearly distinct, but in the Douluo Continent, they can be attempted to be combined.
Huo Yuhao had already realized that soul power was a complete jack-of-all-trades compared to elemental power.
Once you master the method, soul power can simulate almost any form of ability; its inclusiveness is simply too strong.
Although its potential is low, it is the best testing ground.
As the Transformation Array was activated, the herbs, under the dual tempering of the Myriad Transformation Flames and the Sea of Spirit, gradually transformed into a pure medicinal liquid.
"gas?"
As the medicinal liquid took shape, Huo Yuhao keenly sensed a peculiar energy fluctuation.
This energy is neither soul power nor spiritual power; it is like the essence of herbs, a bridge connecting with the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
It wafts and diffuses, like mist enveloping the medicinal liquid, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
A flash of lightning seemed to strike Huo Yuhao's mind.
He then abandoned the practice of condensing the medicinal liquid and instead focused his attention on the qi.
Under the control of mental power, these energies gradually intertwined, and faintly, they actually formed the prototype of a pill.
However, Huo Yuhao frowned, this was not the answer he wanted to find.
The medicinal liquid turned to ashes because Huo Yuhao was distracted, but Huo Yuhao was not annoyed at all and threw in a few more herbs.
What he wanted to explore was the essence of this wisp of air.
Everything in the world has energy. Humans have spiritual energy and blood energy, heaven and earth have primordial energy and spiritual energy, and medicinal plants have medicinal energy.
Even the soul has a breath.
As the saying goes, when one's spirits are broken, that's what they mean by "losing one's composure."
However, the "qi" here is just an adjective, not a specific, objective concept of qi.
Huo Yuhao vaguely felt that Qi might be the key to breaking through the barriers of Soul Rings.
"There is spirit within qi; the more concentrated the qi, the more concentrated the spirit."
This time, Huo Yuhao dispersed his soul power and threw it into the blazing life-transformation talisman array.
He wanted to try and see if he could refine the purest soul power into a pill.
However, soul power is different from medicinal herbs; it is formless and intangible, making it difficult to capture.
Huo Yuhao then poured his tangible but intangible spiritual power into his soul power, attempting to guide the soul power to condense into a pill.
However, at the very moment the two merged, a loud bang was heard, and the entire Transformation Talisman Array exploded!
Huo Yuhao exhaled a puff of black smoke: "I need to learn about the unity of man and nature when I get back."
He could sense that Qi might be a cultivation path that was closer to the origin of heaven and earth than soul power.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's wolf-fox appearance, Xue Di couldn't help but chuckle.
"Your alchemy technique is quite unique."
Electrolux, on the other hand, seemed to be deep in thought.
Although he has regained his body, his origin is still connected to Huo Yuhao.
Therefore, he could sense Huo Yuhao's excitement when he saw the aura of those herbs.
Through the resonance of their hearts, Huo Yuhao conveyed his thoughts to Xue Di and Ilex.
After hearing Huo Yuhao's insights, Xue Di asked in surprise, "You mean to say that soul power is just one of the manifestations of qi?"
Huo Yuhao nodded: "Soul power is too versatile, which makes it seem less pure."
"It's like a Soul Master; if he tries to learn a little bit of everything, he'll often end up in the awkward situation of not being proficient in anything."
"True strength often lies in focusing on one path and honing it to its ultimate level."
"Perhaps there are powerful techniques in the world of the Martial Ancestor that can control all laws, but there must be a fundamental core."
Xue Di was deep in thought.
Soul power is like a piece of uncarved jade, which can be polished into any shape, and martial soul is its outward manifestation.
Huo Yuhao had told Xue Di about the story of the Martial Ancestor's World, where there were none of these strange and wonderful martial souls.
"According to you, qi is more like the most primal energy of living beings."
Electrolux pondered, "Just as water can turn into ice and steam, it is still water at its core."
"For so many years, Soul Masters have been cultivating ice or steam, but have never cultivated water."
Xue Di suddenly realized: "So when you were refining pills just now, you suddenly put your soul power into it, in order to restore your soul power to qi."
"That's right."
Huo Yuhao said, "If we can master this transformation, at least the restrictions that spirit rings place on spirit masters will be reduced."
"As long as you can convert soul power back into qi, and then use qi to communicate with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, it is entirely possible to create your own soul ring."
Xue Di hurriedly asked, "So our soul beasts' soul rings are simply solidified versions of their own energy?"
"According to this theory, that's how it is."
Huo Yuhao guided Xue Di's spiritual power into his own Niwan Palace, demonstrating to her the spirit ring concept that Electrolux had mentioned.
Soul rings serve as altars, and soul beasts as firewood, using external forces to open the gates of heaven and earth.
This is Electrolux's core idea.
Huo Yuhao's theory of Qi coincides with his theory of the Soul Ring Altar.
However, the theory of Qi is a view that Huo Yuhao further proposed, which is closer to the essence, by standing on the shoulders of Electrolux.
"In conclusion, I believe that if one can directly cultivate Qi, one can get rid of the limitations of Soul Rings."
"If soul beasts cultivate qi, they might be able to break free from the constraints of cultivation speed."
"Because this is because it is a direct union with heaven and earth using one's own origin."
Xue Di and Electrolux exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shock in each other's eyes.
Huo Yuhao is not only standing on the shoulders of Electrolux, but also on the shoulders of the entire Tianxuan Continent.
Otherwise, he, as a mere Soul Master, would not have such insight.
"The Yin and Yang converge at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, making it the best place to study Qi."
"But it's too early to say that now," Huo Yuhao said, calming himself down. "We need more data."
"I can't start formal research until I've mastered the art of harmony between humanity and nature."
As the three men withdrew their spiritual energy from the Niwan Palace, their attention returned to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Huo Yuhao said, "It's too dangerous to directly try to transform soul power into qi. It's best to gain insights through alchemy and even weapon crafting."
"Master Yi said that the first stage of cultivation is to seek the truth by borrowing the false, so I will use the energy of metal and herbs to seek the core energy."
"The Transformation Talisman Array is a condensation of spiritual power, and it also possesses the spiritual fire of Myriad Transformation Flames, making it the most suitable furnace for refining Qi."
"Moreover, the two characters '化生' (transformation and generation) also fit my understanding of the essence of qi—that is, to nurture all things."
"From now on, I will no longer use any alchemy furnaces or forging platforms; I will only use the Transformation Talisman Array as my means."
"This road may be long, but it's definitely worth a try."
At the eye of ice and fire, where yin and yang converge, the primordial energy of heaven and earth forms a perfect balance.
Electrolux said, "Traveling alone is ultimately too slow."
"In my opinion, it would be better to refine the Transformation Talisman Array into a real Qi Refining Furnace and let the Heavenly Soul Empire study it with you."
"The one who paves the way is alone, but those who spread it are many. How many soul tools and elixirs can you refine in your entire life?"
"Why not break these two steps down and involve more people to explore the mysteries of Qi together?"
"In this way, the Heavenly Soul Empire's research on soul forging may also make great strides forward."
Simplify the Transformation Talisman Array, or refine it into a physical form, so that other Soul Masters can also use it. Huo Yuhao turned his attention to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
If there are strange stones and unusual gold in the place where Yin and Yang meet, perhaps it is possible to refine a Qi-refining furnace.
Combining his own talisman crafting techniques, Electrolux's alchemy skills, and the soul tool technology of a soul master, he crafted a Qi-refining furnace unlike anything ever seen in the Douluo Continent!
