The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 48: Green Grass and Trees
He adjusted his spirit and state to the peak state, took out a large amount of medicinal herbs from the ring, and found that the herbs were piled up like a small mountain.

This mountain of medicinal herbs, including some rare spiritual objects, are all piled up casually in the rooms of the inn. Some of these herbs were picked in the Warcraft Mountains, and some were purchased from shops.

The medicinal herbs were piled up in a cone shape, almost half the height of an adult, and the Snake Saliva Yuan Fruit and Ice Spirit Flower were also randomly piled together.

Xiao Jun looked at the pile of medicinal herbs in front of him. He needed to rely on these to refine a Qi mechanism that Xiao Jun deduced from his comprehension of the Way of Wood.

In my mind, I was thinking and organizing the pharmacology, and my thoughts were connecting to the operation matrix.

"Pharmacology is endless, and on Earth, there is a classic that introduces pharmacology, the Shennong Herbal Classic."

Medicines include monarch, minister, assistant and envoy, yin and yang, mother and child, brothers, roots, stems, flowers and fruits, grasses, stones, bones and flesh.

There are also seven emotions: traveling alone, needing each other, using each other, fearing each other, hating each other, being opposite to each other, and killing each other.

There are five flavors: sour, salty, sweet, bitter, and pungent; and six qi: cold, hot, warm, cool, toxic, and non-toxic.

The mysteries of pharmacology and herbal medicine are endless, but the Shennong Herbal Classic provides a general framework for analyzing pharmacology. The medicines on Earth and Douqi Continent are different, but they still follow pharmacology.

Xiao Jun's pharmacology is called the Herbal Wood Dao. Xiao Jun needs to analyze the Herbal Wood Dao in order to use it to refine a precious energy.

Looking at the mountain of medicinal herbs in front of him, Xiao Jun snapped his fingers and a stream of blood-red light disappeared into the herb pile.

But immediately a raging fire started up, and the herbs inside began to wither quickly.

The blood-sucking red lotus fire uses the vitality in the medicinal herbs as fuel, burning the vitality madly and turning it into a life-sucking blood energy.

All the vitality of the herbs was rapidly extracted and refined, purifying the herbal essence and concentrating the medicinal power rapidly. The dregs within the herbs turned into pale ash after the vitality was completely drained.

This is actually the embodiment of the way of devouring life. It devours vitality for digestion, and under Xiao Jun's control, it preserves the medicinal power.

Otherwise, if the Bloodthirsty Red Lotus Fire is too strong, the medicinal power will be directly devoured and transformed into pure Qi. If the Bloodthirsty Red Lotus Fire is not strong enough, the medicinal power will be mixed with dregs and become impure.

However, under Xiao Jun's control, the medicinal effect was maintained and the medicinal power was extremely pure.

If he were an alchemist, the next step would be to directly control the medicinal power and condense it into a pill. Unfortunately, Xiao Jun did not have a wood-attributed soul to harmonize and sense the medicinal power.

Theoretically, direct micro-manipulation of the medicinal power can also produce high-quality pills, but without the harmonization of wood energy, the complexity of pill refining increases exponentially.

With the soul wood attribute, the alchemist can sense and harmonize the medicinal power, giving the elixir more flexibility.

Just like the function of lubricants and adhesives, even if the pharmaceutical power is micro-manipulated to condense into a pill, it still lacks a bit of flexibility.

This was Xiao Jun's dilemma in becoming an alchemist, and it was the same dilemma faced by many practitioners who aspired to pursue alchemy. But it didn't matter. From today on, Xiao Jun would be able to overcome this obstacle.

At the center of the blood-fire red lotus was a sphere, primarily cyan, with occasional splashes of red and yellow flowing across its surface. These were the colors of the medicinal power, representing incompatibility. Forcing it to condense would simply cause the power to dissipate.

He opened his mouth directly, and the green ball mixed with various colors turned into a stream of air and was directly sucked into Xiao Jun's stomach.

The airflow transformed by the medicinal power instantly rushed into Xiao Jun's body, but Xiao Jun condensed such medicinal power not for simple swallowing.

"The human body is a furnace, where Kan and Li meet and settle."

All the medicinal powers began to differentiate into yin and yang. At this time, there were at least three or four hundred kinds of medicinal powers in Xiao Jun's body. These medicinal powers began to rapidly analyze and transform into hexagram symbols.

The hexagram symbols evolve rapidly in the calculation matrix.

Some cooperate with each other, some conflict with each other, some undermine each other, and some help each other...

All these changes in medicinal properties are calculated.

At this time, Xiao Jun's body was running the Kanli Qi, and he began to use the "Zhouyi Cantongqi" to refine these medicinal gases.

"I will use the Materia Medica Wood Dao in the Shennong Herbal Classic and the Qi training method to refine a Wood Dao Qi. I will combine the Yin-Yang and numerology of the Yi Dao with the principles of big computing and big data to analyze the medicinal Qi and refine it into my own Wood Dao Qi."

"Dividing the pharmacological principles into yin and yang, and using the human body as a furnace, we can refine the wood element's energy."

It is just like Xiao Jun uses the interactive changes of the human body's Qi to refine the Qingling Qi and Taiqing Qi.

Now Xiao Jun not only used the human body's Qi, but also added the Qi of medicinal materials, but there is no difference in essence, they are all refining materials.

After a while, he saw that all kinds of medicinal qi in the body were interacting and blending with each other, and gradually turned into a light blue airflow, lingering in the chest.

This light blue airflow is still somewhat imperfect.

Regulate the Qi in the body, grasp Kan and Li, and rely on deduction to refine some of the Qi in the human body and integrate it into this light blue Qi.

However, this light blue airflow suddenly received some kind of completion, and became more agile and filled with spirituality.

Xiao Jun opened his eyes, took a long breath, and exhaled a stream of light blue air from his chest, but he only saw the light blue air swaying smartly.

It moved flexibly with the fluctuations of his thoughts, and then swam around Xiao Jun's body.

"This is what I created by relying on the pharmacological wood path and refining it into the Qi. I integrated the essence of the classic Shennong Herbal Classic into the practice of Qi. It belongs to the Wood Element Qi."

"However, I have only integrated over 300 species of plants, so it can only be called the Green Qi of Plants." The Green Qi of Plants was the result of Xiao Jun's deduction. Its function was to assist Xiao Jun in sensing and harmonizing the power of plants. It could help Xiao Jun control the changes in the medicinal properties of hundreds of medicinal herbs.

In this way, with the effect of the blood-sucking red lotus fire devouring and tempering the medicinal power, and the ability to sense and harmonize the green energy of plants and trees, Xiao Jun already has the potential to become an alchemist!
"The nature of a gentleman is not different; he is good and false in nature!"

Xiao Jun looked at the pale green aura of plants and trees surrounding him, feeling a surge of pride and excitement. So what if an alchemist has many obstacles? So what if an alchemist's aptitude is limited by his innate soul attributes? It's just borrowing external resources!

In fact, if the pharmacology of herbs can be integrated into the qi mechanism to produce the green qi of herbs, it would be fine even if so many herbs are not needed.

It doesn't even require any medicinal materials at all. It can be refined directly inside the body by relying on the interaction and changes of the human body's qi.

The most important thing is the principle behind it, and this knowledge of the principle can be deduced through the I Ching and then programmed, and then integrated into the human body's qi, using the human body to refine the green qi of plants and trees.

However, that would require a lot of hard work and be extremely time-consuming. However, medicinal herbs naturally possess the principles of plants and trees, allowing them to directly extract and analyze the Qi, which would then become the nutrient for refining the green Qi of plants and trees, saving a lot of hard work.

This is what a Qigong practitioner is like. He can rely on something, but he doesn’t need to rely on anything specific at all.

The way of cultivating the truth is to adapt to local conditions and be very easy and free.

The green energy of plants and trees swiftly entered Xiao Jun's body, blending into his liver and transforming into a liver-wood energy. Green energy of plants and trees is not only used for refining medicine, but can also be used to aid one's own cultivation.

"The green energy of plants and trees still needs to integrate more of the principles of the wood element... It can absorb the pharmacology of other plant spiritual materials, or it can be sublimated through its own deduction."

"In the future, it will be upgraded to Qingmu Spiritual Qi, Wanmu Spiritual Qi, and so on. But I seem to be missing an alchemy furnace, but I can find a way to refine one."

Xiao Jun cleaned up the ashes of the refined medicinal herbs, put them into the storage ring, broke the restrictions of his own house, and left directly.

Looking at the sky, it was already beginning to darken. I had been refining the green energy of plants and trees since early morning, and without realizing it, it was already evening.

Looking at the sparse starry sky, my thoughts began to extend and spread freely.

I am thinking about cultivation, but it is not just thinking about cultivation. The mind is spreading, and it is also a process of comprehending the true meaning of heaven and earth, which is relaxing.

"Hey, why are you staying here?" A whisper sounded beside Xiao Jun, interrupting his thoughts.

Xiao Jun turned his head and saw the graceful shadow in front of him, and a smile appeared on his red lips.

"I was just relaxing." Xiao Jun nodded and replied. The person in front of him was called Xiao Yixiang.

"Oh." Xiao Yixian nodded and prepared to leave.

"Interesting, I see you're a doctor." Xiao Jun turned around and asked the Little Medical Immortal: "Do you know that you're a genius in cultivation?"

"Ah... I haven't even entered the Dou Qi realm yet! And you actually say I'm a genius in cultivation." The Little Medical Immortal covered her face with her hands and said with a smile, "You are too clumsy to lie, young man!"

"I didn't lie to you." Xiao Jun shook his head and said, "You are indeed a genius in cultivation, but you haven't found the right path. After observing you, I am sure that you do have the extraordinary physique described in the book!"

"If you could harness this extraordinary physique, you would be incredibly powerful, and achieving Dou Huang would be a piece of cake. However, your physique is far too dangerous. Telling you the correct method of cultivation would be a grave sin. Unfortunately, if you didn't have this extraordinary physique, and devoted yourself to practicing medicine, you would eventually die peacefully of old age, which would be the best outcome."

Xiao Jun really thought so. If Xiao Yixiang was a born demon with a poisonous body, then naturally nothing would happen to her.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yixiang is a normal person and still has feelings of affection. Seeing her mother and people who care about her die because of her must be extremely painful.

"Haha... young man, what you said seems to be very serious." The little medical fairy smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.

Xiao Jun shook his head and said, "Maybe. Just treat it as my nonsense."

The little medical fairy smiled, shook her head, and turned away.

Xiao Jun continued to gaze at the sky, observing the cunning moon rising, trying to comprehend its true meaning. Once he grasped its true meaning, it would become the nourishment for his Qigong practice.

“Observe the radiance of the sun, comprehend the true meaning of brightness and yang energy, and strengthen your mind.”

"Observe the clear light of the moon, comprehend the true meaning of brightness, purity, and clarity, and cleanse your thoughts."

"Observe the twinkling stars, comprehend the spiritual light of the mind, and nourish the spirit."

"The three strands of true meaning perfectly align with the path of mind and wisdom, guiding the true meaning of the sun, moon, and stars, and refining them into the qi and mind."

"If it is refined into water, it may be called the Three Lights Divine Water."

Although Xiao Jun cannot directly grasp the power of the sun, the moon, and the stars.

However, one can comprehend the true meaning of it, and then through the inner alchemy and Qigong methods, refine the true meaning into the Qi, which is equivalent to gaining the power of the sun, moon and stars.

The Three Lights Holy Water was a treasure conceived by Xiao Jun. It was a treasure that melted the power of the sun, moon and stars and was specifically used to cleanse the soul.

By the way, I was also thinking about what materials to use to make an alchemy furnace.
