The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 51: Grass and Wood Green Cauldron
"Have you heard? In many places in the Warcraft Mountains, all the vegetation has disappeared!"

"what happened?"

"In some places, entire hillsides have lost all their vegetation...it's completely barren."

"Could it be some high-level herbivorous magical beast?"

"High-grade magical beasts devour other magical beasts, spiritual herbs, and cultivators. They absorb the energy of heaven and earth, so why would they eat grass or something like that?"

"Who knows? Perhaps there's some weird monster..."

Several mercenaries walked down the street together and began to chat about everything.

Xiao Jun had just come out of the inn. After hearing what these mercenaries said, he knew that he needed to restrain himself.

"Gathering wood essences and extracting and refining large quantities of plants and trees myself is still too conspicuous."

The soul explored deep into the ring and found several boxes.

"But I have already collected enough wood essence to refine my own sacred wood tripod according to the blueprint."

Wood has extremely strong plasticity and can modify its shape through the green energy of plants and trees that contains the wood path.

At certain times, scientists on Earth rely on the omnipotence of plant cells to create artificial seeds and use them for cultivation.

The so-called wood essence is similar to an artificial seed, but it incorporates a large amount of plant power. These plant powers are evolved from the green energy of plants and carry Xiao Jun's understanding of the way of wood.

"In fact, there's also knowledge about biological chaos algorithms, system control engineering, and the Zhouyi Cantongqi... In fact, these wood essences are essentially the yin and yang changes of the internal energy of the wood, created through the analysis and cultivation of Qi through the Yi Dao. They can be considered the elixir of wood."

"It's just that the elixirs from these woods are in powder form."

According to the inner alchemy of Zhouyi Cantongqi, the human body can also refine an inner elixir through the interaction of Kan and Li, and the hexagrams. This inner elixir is a virtual reference, representing the perfection of body and mind.

The inner alchemy can also be verified through the outer alchemy method, which uses countless medicinal materials to simulate the qi of heaven, earth and human body to realize the path of practice.

If the pinnacle of inner alchemy is the perfection of body and mind, it is also the so-called immortal.

Then the pinnacle of external alchemy is... the golden elixir. The golden elixir is the elixir that solidifies the "Tao" body and carries the "Tao".

Of course, there is no need to explain something so mysterious. Wood essence can be said to be a kind of elixir transformed from the cultivation of wood, and it is also the seed of wood.

Xiao Jun went to the pharmacy and bought some medicinal herbs, then went to the inn and booked a room for a few days.

After returning to the room, Xiao Jun first calmed down and took out a few boxes from the ring.

With a burst of fighting spirit, all the boxes opened, and a pile of turquoise powder floated in front of Xiao Jun, forming a sphere as big as a human head.

He opened his mouth and exhaled, a stream of pale blue air immersing into the powdered ball. Then he extended his hand, and a stream of blood fire began to burn, melting the wood essence powder.

Because these wood essences were refined by Xiao Jun in different batches, during this period, due to the improvement of his understanding of the Way of Wood, the green energy of plants and trees also increased.

This made the quality of the wood essence uneven, and Xiao Jun had to refine it again.

This is actually very simple, but the volume of the wood spirit will shrink a little.

After seeing the processed wood spirit in front of him, Xiao Jun put the wood spirit back into a box, leaving only a small ball of wood spirit.

Xiao Jun recalled the design in his mind and began to refine it step by step according to the design.

With the help of the blood-sucking red lotus fire, the rich vitality inside the wood spirit began to change.

Wood spirit...begins to grow. Every piece of wood spirit powder is a "seed".

In this world, there are often several different trees that grow close to each other, and finally grow together to become one tree!
The same is true for the wood spirit now. It is growing and is about to grow and become one.

The blood-sucking red lotus fire was born from vitality, and it was very easy to grasp vitality. Every strand of power of these wood spirits was under Xiao Jun's control, intertwined and condensed with each other.

Not long after, a thumb-sized turquoise crystal appeared in front of him.

But it didn't end there. Xiao Jun began to guide the vitality, and these vitality began to flow, forming veins of vitality and forming lines on the crystal.

By mobilizing knowledge about formations and meridians, these wood grains are the veins.

These meridians need to be linked together to form channels and collaterals. Through these channels and collaterals, vitality begins to flow, and Qi begins to transact and change.

However, within this wood crystal, there were densely packed lines, these lines were extremely mysterious. If you look closely, this wood crystal has a subtle breathing, slowly absorbing the surrounding wood element fighting spirit.

The circulation formed by these meridians, stimulated by the green energy of plants and trees, gained a ray of vitality and became an object that could absorb the energy of heaven and earth, but it was very slow. Compared with Xiao Jun's absorption of fighting spirit, this thumb-sized wood crystal only absorbed a hair.

However, the ultimate vitality contained within the wood crystal, combined with the fusion of energy from heaven and earth, condensed a wood energy within these meridians.

Seeing this wood energy, Xiao Jun began to mobilize his Qi training method, integrating the way of plants and trees into the wood energy. Xiao Jun's true meaning and spirituality were also refined along with it.

But I saw this transparent wood crystal, sparkling with lively light.

"Wood essence, wood essence, wood grain, wood meridian, wood vein, wood energy, and finally the wood spirit. This is the instrument that carries the Wood Dao! The Qigong practitioner begins to refine the instrument. This instrument carries the Wood Dao that I have comprehended. It can be called a magical instrument."

"As my understanding of the Way of Wood improves, my magical instruments will also improve accordingly. It makes perfect sense for Qigong practitioners to cultivate their instruments and convey the Way!"

Putting down this piece of wood crystal, Xiao Jun once again mobilized a group of wood essences and began to refine...

A day passed, and Xiao Jun looked at the small pile of wood crystals placed in front of him. The meridians in each one were completely different.

Because each piece of wood crystal has a different function, some form the legs of the tripod, some form the belly of the tripod, and some form the ears of the tripod.

Just like the human body, wood essence can be seen as cells, but wood crystals are like organs, each of which has its own function and different functional structures.

During this process, he overthinks and greatly depletes his soul power. As a last resort, he stores all of this in his ring and sits in meditation to recover his state.

... Soon, a night passed, and Xiao Jun woke up from his meditation. He sorted out some distracting thoughts and restored his mental strength.

In fact, it was not entirely meditation. Xiao Jun also took the time to use the calculation matrix to recalculate the design of the Shenmu Ding, modified and optimized it, and only after confirming that there were no errors did he rest in meditation.

Take out the wood crystal, and the next step is easy, just like building blocks.

He picked out a few pieces of wood crystals and began to build it according to the design of the Shenmu Ding.

The bloodthirsty red lotus fire enveloped these wood crystals, melting the vitality within them and connecting the internal meridians. Finally, a tripod appeared in front of Xiao Jun.

Soon Xiao Jun began to continue to build and refine the belly and ears of the cauldron.

There are three tripod legs, two tripod ears, and a tripod belly. Continue to assemble according to the interfaces inside the design.

The shape of a tripod appeared, but Xiao Jun still had not finished it.

The blood-red lotus wrapped around the tripod in front of him, and he saw that it began to mobilize vitality and wood energy through the blood-sucking red lotus fire, condensing into lines and forming tripod patterns.

These cauldron patterns circulated the wood energy and vitality. Next, Xiao Jun began to use these cauldron patterns to connect and transform them into a formation.

In fact, this formation was the one that Xiao Jun transformed into by using his own meridians at the beginning. It was originally used to speed up the swallowing of blood and fire, but after appearing on the path of Qigong, Xiao Jun refined the blood-sucking red lotus fire, and it was not very useful.

But this is the perfect time to refine the formation into the cauldron.

After a long time, the formation was finally completed. Within the cauldron, vital wood energy began to circulate, and a green mist began to appear within its belly.

Mobilizing this green mist and incorporating it into the circulation of the formation within the cauldron allowed the cauldron before him to condense a strange power. This power mobilized the entire formation, having the effect of devouring and transforming.

By the way, Xiao Jun comprehended the true meaning of the Way of Wood, and used the countless changes in Qi inside the wooden tripod to integrate it, which gave the tripod a spirituality.

This spiritual power connected Xiao Jun's heart, allowing Xiao Jun and the tripod to communicate with each other and control it with ease.

However, the tripod in front of him was the color of jade.

But the material looks like gold but is not gold, and looks like jade but is not jade.

There is a strong vitality, and the surrounding patterns are flowers, plants, insects, fish and some cloud and thunder patterns.

But then the jade tripod fell into Xiao Jun's hands. He held the belly of the tripod with his hands and nodded with satisfaction.

"This cauldron... is filled with vitality, so the Bloodthirsty Red Lotus Fire can flow freely. More importantly, this cauldron is alive and can grow with me."

The green energy of plants and trees merged into this jade-colored cauldron, driving the cauldron's power, absorbing the surrounding wood-type energy of heaven and earth, and even being refined within the formation inside the cauldron.

"Actually, the current cauldron is made from the green energy of plants and trees, so let's call it the Green Cauldron of Plants and Trees!"

The green energy of plants and trees will evolve as Xiao Jun comprehends the Way of Wood. The next step will be the green wood spiritual energy, and after that the spiritual energy of all trees.

The same is true for the cauldron. It is now called the Grass Green Cauldron. As time goes by, it will be called the Green Wood Spirit Cauldron, the Ten Thousand Woods Divine Cauldron...

After a while, this green cauldron of grass and wood absorbed the energy of heaven and earth, became saturated, and was slowly digesting it.

"If we divide it into different stages according to cultivation, the current Grass and Wood Green Cauldron is equivalent to the Dou Qi stage. In order for the Grass and Wood Green Cauldron to grow, it not only needs to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, but also needs to devour enough wood. If it can devour spiritual wood or divine wood, it would be very good."

"My own plant and tree green energy can also begin to upgrade."

"Yes, I made the Green Cauldron of Grass and Wood according to the design drawings. Let's experiment with it..."

Xiao Jun took out some medicinal herbs from the ring. These herbs were just basic healing herbs. Xiao Jun planned to use the alchemy method to refine healing medicine.

This medicine is not of high quality, it's just an experiment!
The medicinal materials were thrown into the alchemy cauldron, and a blood-red flame appeared on his hand. The life-eating blood lotus fire flowed into it along the patterns of the grass and green cauldron.

In an instant, these herbs turned into ashes, and the medicinal properties merged into liquid medicine.

Dozens of medicinal powers began to cooperate with each other, and Xiao Jun and Mu Ding were in tune with each other, manipulating the patterns on the Ding and regulating the changes in the medicinal powers.

The green energy of grass and trees sensed the changes in the power of dozens of medicinal substances, and began to adjust these medicinal properties.

If alchemy is like a puzzle, some puzzles are not polished smoothly, and some puzzles have some minor defects. In order to completely solve these problems, the alchemist must use the power of wood to make adjustments.

Alchemists have wood soul attributes and can do this. Xiao Jun can also do something similar by using the green energy of plants and trees.

Soon, all the medicinal power was completely adjusted and began to slowly condense.

Soon, it condensed into white powder.

At the same time, Xiao Jun was observing the ashes, but saw that the medicinal residue was directly swallowed up by the wooden tripod and used as fertilizer.

The help to the Herbal Green Cauldron was better than nothing. Xiao Jun took out the white medicinal powder, observed it carefully, twisted it and sniffed it lightly, trying to feel the medicinal power.

These powders were not of high quality and were healing medicines that could be made by an ordinary doctor. Xiao Jun simply used more advanced methods to purify them so that the medicinal power could reach its limit.

Only a true first-grade alchemist can be called a real alchemist. He must be able to refine a finished pill. Xiao Jun cannot be considered an alchemist now.

"The refining is good. I can learn the art of refining medicine and start studying how to make money."

"More importantly, I have this cauldron, which carries my understanding of the Way of Wood. With the help of this cauldron, I can verify my Qi training and refine jewels and precious stones."

"Using my own body to refine Qi and treasures all the time is not a good thing after all. With this tripod, it will be much more convenient for me."
