The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 74 Invisible Demonic Energy
"Pharmacology is actually based on mathematics. When refining medicine, one needs to carefully memorize all the data on each of the various pharmacological properties," Xiao Jun began. "For example, data on warming and cooling properties, the internal amount of medicinal potency, and the ratio of medicinal potency to impurities—these are all good methods for understanding and analyzing prescriptions."

Xiao Jun simply explained his own understanding, and the alchemists around him also seemed to have gained some understanding.

"Very good... Brother Xiao has a very good understanding and summary." Lin Yun said, "We alchemists use our souls as pens and the power of medicine as ink. The deeper our understanding of medicine, the higher our alchemy achievements will be. Using mathematics to analyze is a very good method."

"But... we can see the data on medicinal strength and the ratio of medicinal strength to impurities, but how do we measure the data on warm and cold properties?" Gu Ren asked Xiao Jun after thinking of something.

"This... you need to find the weights and measures yourself." Xiao Jun smiled, and the alchemists around him nodded, understanding that this was a secret technique. Gu Ren also nodded and said no more.

Xiao Jun's technique is actually quite simple: it measures vital energy. Warm properties activate vital energy, while cold properties stagnate it. Xiao Jun calculates the degree of vitality caused by the effects of medicinal properties on vital energy, thereby calculating the nuances of warm and cold properties.

The induction of the green energy of plants and the activity of the medicinal power itself also serve as the basis for the medicinal power calculation data.

"Brother Xiao's method is good, but the efficacy of each medicine has tens of millions of variations. Moreover, refining medicine requires a large amount of medicinal materials. The mathematical calculations involved are probably an astronomical figure." Another alchemist suddenly sighed.

It is indeed astronomical data, but Xiao Jun also used calculations to calculate a rough range, and then performed precise calculations, and finally conducted continuous experiments to finally deduce his own prescription.

"However, in this case, as long as you succeed once in refining the medicine, and accurately memorize the process and data, the failure rate will be greatly reduced. In the end, it still depends on the alchemist himself. This method requires quite a lot of talent."

Then several people began to talk about some pharmacological knowledge, which Xiao Jun absorbed rapidly and integrated into the system of "True Medicinal Forms Explanation".

Within Xiao Jun's soul, the Netherworld Soul Seal had already deciphered and optimized a vast amount of thought. Perhaps a single Netherworld Soul Seal flowing through his soul contained the information conceived by dozens of thoughts.

The cognitive structure of ordinary people is very simple. Although practitioners’ thinking ability will become stronger as their souls become stronger, their cognitive structure still comes from that of ordinary people, and their thinking efficiency is still not efficient.

Although Xiao Jun, the second one, could no longer cultivate and improve his life realm on Earth, he used the Netherworld Soul Seal to analyze his own thoughts, and then constructed the analyzed thoughts into a system of equations, which turned into a matrix. He then simplified and condensed them, constantly optimizing his own thoughts.

This directly increased Xiao Jun's thinking efficiency by more than ten times. If we use computer terms, it is like a software upgrade. Even without the calculation matrix, Xiao Jun's thinking efficiency is still more than ten times that of cultivators of the same level.

Xiao Jun would objectively exchange ideas with others and absorb some knowledge, but the brevity of the information he received made him feel extremely bored. He could not help but multitask, practicing Qigong with his inner alchemy.

Sensing an invisible energy within his body, and refining it with a vast amount of knowledge, it became increasingly mysterious and elusive. Even Xiao Jun could only summon this invisible energy through his own high state of mind.

"This is an invisible demonic energy that was refined by integrating the secrets of the Emperor's Demonic Dye and comprehending the Demonic Consciousness. Should I release it now to invade the bodies of these alchemists and secretly steal their thoughts?"

After several investigations, Xiao Jun had already discovered that the highest of these alchemists was Gu Ren, who was only at the Dou Shi level. His level wasn't high, and his foundation seemed rather superficial. If such an invisible demonic energy were released, all of them would be affected.

"Forget it... The invisible demonic energy is still in my conception, and I should probably make some changes..."

Thinking of this, he suppressed the thought of directly releasing invisible demonic energy into these people. Part of his mind reached a state of ultimate clarity and tranquility, his mind sinking into the darkness, sensing the fluctuations of all the energy around him.

These fluctuations are actually the information state of the world, and one side of the world's information is called the underworld by Xiao Jun.

An invisible demonic energy in Xiao Jun's body spread out into the outside world, swaying and flowing slowly. Even if Xiao Jun refined this energy, he had to make his mind extremely quiet and clear in order to capture this fluctuation. If his mind was unstable, it would be difficult for Xiao Jun himself to discover and capture it.

Xiao Jun himself could hardly detect it, and it would be difficult for the cultivators sitting here who had not even reached the level of Grand Fighter Master to detect it. These people were alchemists and their souls might be stronger, but Xiao Jun's soul would only be stronger.

The invisible demonic energy slowly passed through these people's bodies, piercing their internal organs. None of them noticed. However, the invisible demonic energy at this moment could not carry much of their own thoughts, nor could it absorb too many of their thoughts. The alchemists present could only be considered to have escaped disaster temporarily, but they were now targeted by Xiao Jun and were doomed.

Soon, the discussion went straight from noon to night, because Xiao Jun could often directly talk about a lot of pharmacology, and pharmacology was both broad and very profound, and his understanding of drug combinations was often an accurate summary that hit the nail on the head.

This made many people admire Xiao Jun's talent. His understanding of alchemy always penetrated deep into his bones.

"Brother Xiao is truly a prodigy among alchemists... If Brother Xiao can occasionally refine a first-grade pill now, in a few years... he will probably be able to pass the assessment of the Alchemist Guild." Lin Yun couldn't help but sigh:
"Brother Xiao, you said your teacher was Wei Boyang. Although I don't know the name of this alchemist, I think he is also a master of alchemy!"

"That's right..." Xiao Jun nodded and replied.

Gu Ren pondered for a moment, then asked Xiao Jun, "Wei Boyang? Excuse me, I'm familiar with the great alchemists in the surrounding countries, but I've never heard of a great alchemist named Wei Boyang."

"But I'm not questioning you, Brother Xiao. Your alchemy philosophy and pharmacology are systematic and unique. Moreover, you're able to make finished pills at such a young age. This must be a method taught by a master alchemist himself. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible. It's just that your master's name is not very famous."

"I don't know about that. My teacher taught me the art of alchemy, but didn't tell me more." Xiao Jun evaded the question directly.

"It's hard to fathom what the seniors are thinking. Could it be... that they are alchemists from far away parts of the continent who have come here for the Alchemist Conference?" Gu Ren wondered to himself.

"That's possible, because the Gama Empire in our Western Desert is only a small part of the Douqi Continent. Perhaps a senior alchemist from a distant region was impressed by Brother Xiao's qualifications and taught him the art of alchemy." Lin Yun replied.

Xiao Jun smiled without saying anything, letting them figure it out on their own, and pretended to be confident with a proud look on his face.

"No matter what... Xiao Jun is a genius of our Jia Ma Empire. He has the potential to become a high-grade alchemist in the future, which can be regarded as a glory for our Jia Ma Empire!" Lin Yun looked at these alchemists and said with a smile: "Our gathering and exchange this time has given me a lot of insights into alchemy. I will digest them carefully when I go."

"Congratulations, Brother Lin Yun." An ordinary alchemist stood up and bowed to congratulate Lin Yun.

Many alchemists then stood up and congratulated Lin Yun. Some began to say goodbye, but many also asked about Xiao Jun's address, their tone quite flattering.

Xiao Jun also declined and said goodbye to these people politely. Then he left the place directly, walked a long way, and came to the room in the yard where he rented.

He went straight to the place where he usually practiced and refined medicine, sat cross-legged to rest, and sensed the invisible demonic energy in his body.

"Maybe... I should find some people to experiment with? Start with ordinary people first?" Xiao Jun was constantly deducing in his mind, experimenting with his own invisible demonic energy.

"The underworld is a world of information. The invisible demonic energy's subsequent deductions should be able to merge into other people's bodies and steal their wisdom and aura?"

Xiao Jun began to think. The first thing he thought of was to use desire as a hook to directly trigger people's wisdom and thoughts and steal their wisdom. The changes in Qi could change people's thoughts and also make people desire, so this was not complicated.

The complexity lies in how to use desire to draw out corresponding wisdom information.
