Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

"What? This pill isn't refined, but industrially and standardizedly produced?"

These words stunned the students below.

They were all speechless.

It's not that they can't understand it; of course they know that industrialized production would be more convenient. But the problem is, this isn't a home appliance or a mobile phone; it's something from the cultivation world.

A miracle cure!

In novels, aren't all elixirs meticulously crafted by alchemists?

The formula for the elixir is kept secret, the ingredients are rare, and it involves unique refining techniques and precise control of the heat. Only in this way can it be presented in a sophisticated manner and meet people's expectations of cultivating immortality and refining elixirs.

And you're telling me that all of this is fake, outdated, and that modern elixirs are formulated in laboratories, with the formula and process determined before being manufactured by pharmaceutical companies?

Ah, this...

The students were all dumbfounded.

I felt that all my fantasies about cultivating immortality, and the prestige of it, had shattered at that moment.

However, Tang Ya ignored her classmates' astonishment. Instead of understanding their feelings, the homeroom teacher smiled and continued to make things worse.

Her voice, clear as a nightingale's song, reached every student's ears: "Actually, your imagination isn't wrong. If we were in ancient times, the so-called elixirs would definitely have to be refined by alchemists batch by batch, even the most basic elixirs."

"But times are changing. In today's Guixu, including our Shuiyun Star, technology has long been perfectly integrated with the immortal path, naturally giving birth to all sorts of new technologies. We no longer have to suffer as much as in ancient times."

"Take the Spirit Gathering Pill as an example. Starting with the raw materials, the several spiritual herbs required are cultivated on a large scale."

"And they're not even planted in spirit fields. After all, these are just the most basic things, and they don't have high requirements for the production environment. They're all planted layer by layer in the factory."

"You've probably heard of vertical farms, right? Hundreds of stories high, each floor can be transformed into farmland, without even needing soil. They use hydroponics, and controlled nuclear fusion provides clean energy for their growth, with AI and sensors precisely controlling light and temperature..."

"This method does not occupy spirit fields, and the yield can be dozens of times higher than traditional planting. Moreover, due to precise control, the quality of spirit herbs is also more stable."

"Once the raw materials are ready, AI-controlled machines will harvest them unmanned, then pack and load them, and then transport them by special express logistics to a qualified elixir factory. The production line has already been set up there, and all the production processes have been verified multiple times. It can mass-produce elixirs. The streamlined production line is not only extremely efficient, but also has a elixir success rate far exceeding that of ancient times."

"Only about one out of every 1000 pills will be a defective pill. This is a success rate that no alchemy master can match, and they wouldn't even dare to dream of."

"After all, the entire alchemy process, including the temperature and the addition of raw materials, is precisely controlled by AI. The timing can be accurate to 0.01 milliseconds, and the temperature can be accurate to 0.0001 degrees Celsius."

The students were completely bewildered, yet impressed by what they heard.

Although I was still a bit confused and only understood about 20-30% of it, this method of alchemy was truly remarkable.

From the cultivation of raw materials to the production of elixirs, everything is industrialized, involving controlled nuclear fusion, big data AI, and various cutting-edge technologies. No wonder it can far surpass the ancient times and easily provide such a large-scale supply of Spirit Gathering Pills to tens of thousands of universities.

Even the ability to allocate resources according to need is thanks to the great development of productivity and science and technology.

The students couldn't help but get excited, and some immediately raised their hands to speak.

"Teacher, your words are truly invaluable! It turns out that our methods of obtaining elixirs far surpass those of ancient times. Does this mean that in the future, all our spiritual pills, including other cultivation resources, can be supplied without limit?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Faced with the expectant gazes of her classmates, Tang Ya poured cold water on their hopes without hesitation.

"Where can you find such a good deal?"

"Admittedly, the present era far surpasses the ancient times, and the development of science and technology has, to some extent, facilitated the cultivation of immortality, making it easier for us to acquire resources. However, this is only relative, or rather, everything has its limits."

"As the most basic pill, the Spirit Gathering Pill is relatively easy to make, both in terms of its refining method and the acquisition of spiritual herbs, which is why it can be mass-produced."

"However, high-grade elixirs have demanding requirements, so producing them using the same method is not so easy."

"for example……"

Tang Ya changed the subject at this point: "Forget it, these things are none of your business. You've only just embarked on the path of immortality, there's no need for you to know so much."

"Once your cultivation level improves, you will naturally take classes related to alchemy. There will be dedicated teachers who will systematically explain it to you. I won't spoil it for you here."

"Alright, students, open your textbooks to page 78. Today we'll talk about how to smoothly overcome the spiritual energy threshold hurdle in the mid-stage of Qi Refining..."

"As you all know, in the classical era of cultivation, each major realm was divided into early, middle and late stages. This division is not without reason, but in the final analysis, it is still too crude and superficial."

"Nowadays, we also need to analyze cultivation with a scientific attitude, so the division of realms will be more detailed and reasonable."

"Take Qi Refining as an example. According to 'An Introduction to the Cultivation Realm System' (9th Edition), Qi Refining is divided into 10 levels. The first three levels are roughly equivalent to the early period of the classical era. So, when you get from the third to the fourth level, you will encounter a small bottleneck..."

"This isn't just a matter of spiritual energy accumulation, it's also because..."

As Tang Ya finished speaking, the holographic projection in front of the podium lit up.

On the left is a model of the distribution of spiritual energy in the dantian of a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining. On the right is a diagram showing the dynamic flow of spiritual energy in the meridians after the cultivator breaks through to the fourth level.

In this holographic projection, even some important energy nodes were highlighted and marked using a flashing method...

Tang Yaze focused intently and began to analyze and explain to everyone one by one.

The students below were all listening very attentively; anyone who wasn't an idiot clearly knew that this lesson was very important.

The chubby boy Zhang Le even turned on the Lingying Holographic Recorder.

As its name suggests, it can accurately capture the teacher's voice, the holographic projection of the technique model, and simultaneously record the dynamic trajectory of the spiritual energy flowing in the air, perfectly restoring the core information of the class.

It's incredibly useful, practically a godsend for learning assistance. The only downside is that it's expensive, ridiculously expensive.

It costs 500 spirit coins and is available in the school's shop, but most freshmen can't afford it and can only watch with envy and resentment, drooling with envy.
