Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 580 Drinking poison to quench thirst

"Wang Yue understands."

Wang Yue bowed, turned and retreated.

There was just a little movement in the room, but as the door closed, it fell into silence again.

Chu Mu opened the wooden box and took out one of the wooden boxes, and a medicinal plant with a certain age appeared.

In the world of immortality, any elixir that is a little older is basically not within the reach of mortals.

The fundamental purpose of the world of immortality sinking into the secular governance system is not so-called rule. To a greater extent, it is just to collect secular resources for the world of immortality.

Such as the secular iron mine in Nanshan Town back then. Although in the world of immortality, the benefits of a secular iron mine can be said to be minimal.

But there is no doubt that this benefit does not require the world of immortality to pay any price.

It is just a piece of paper from the secular world and the work of some secular mortals.

As long as there is output, it is pure profit.

If this ruling system can bring some unexpected surprises, it will be a huge profit.

Just like in the secular officialdom of Dachu, what matters is never the political performance of the party in charge, but how much benefit can be obtained for the world of immortality.

Earthly mineral materials, elixirs and spiritual materials that may be born in the secular world...

This is the most important role of the world of immortality in the secular governance system.

In this non-spiritual world, although the medicinal materials of old age are not as magical as the elixirs in the world of immortality, there is no doubt that they have been treasured by the rich and powerful since ancient times.

However, in this soulless environment, medicinal materials and people are the same.

Human growth requires sufficient external energy to supplement. It is difficult to have a world of extraordinary power because there is not enough energy to support human transformation.

The same is true for medicinal materials.

Without enough external energy support, it means that it is impossible for medicinal materials to complete their transformation from secular medicinal materials to elixirs.

In other words, the so-called medicinal materials of the previous year in this world are only based on the year they were born.

The medicinal power of the medicinal materials is just like the secular medicinal materials he came into contact with in Nanshan Town and Jingmen County back then, and its medicinal power is limited to the ordinary level.

Although even if the medicinal power is only limited to the mortal level, for him now, as long as the amount is sufficient, it can increase his energy and blood to the point of transcending the mortal world just like when he practiced secular cultivation in the immortal world.

But there is undoubtedly a fatal problem.

In the secular world of immortality, the core reason why he was able to complete his transformation with the help of some mortal medicine was because he was in a spiritual environment.

In an environment with spirits, be it people, medicinal materials, or all things in the world, even if they are mortal, they are bound to be contaminated with some spirit.

Those seemingly insignificant auras are the root and support of transformation.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to maintain the survival of an ordinary body just by relying on ordinary energy.

Just like these purely secular medicinal materials in front of you, their medicinal effects, even if compared in the same year, are definitely much weaker than the secular medicines in the world of immortality.

He used the method of refining medicine to refine these medicinal materials into the medicine needed for Qi and Blood cultivation. Although it was barely feasible to pile up his Qi and Blood cultivation, it was definitely half the result with half the effort.

But once the essence and energy grow to a certain level, without the contamination and supplementation of external spiritual energy, it is almost impossible to maintain his body's needs with just worldly grains and meats.

The only thing that can provide him with sufficient energy are these secular medicinal materials from previous years, which are half the result with half the effort. You must know that in an environment without spiritual energy, for secular medicine to grow for a certain period of time, the difficulty is no less than the periodic transformation of elixirs.

It is no exaggeration to say that the difficulty of producing a thousand-year-old medicinal plant in this world is probably much more terrifying than the formation of a ten-year-old elixir in the world of immortality.

Not to mention, in an era of highly developed science and technology, the fragmentation of the ecological environment has obviously exacerbated the difficulty of reaching the sky.

Even if he controls the entire world, under such circumstances, how many of these old medicinal materials can he have?

In other words, how long can it be maintained in this situation where it is destined to be rare and do half the result with twice the result?

The problem is very clear, and this is the fundamental reason why he has preferred to endure the weakness of his body since he came to this world, rather than start using the medicinal materials of this world to refine medicine and transform into a mortal.

And the fact before him undoubtedly proves that his worries are not unfounded.

Since he initially established a system to control the secular world, he has ordered the collection of medicinal materials from this secular world.

So far, I have only harvested the wooden box in front of me.

Wooden boxes were opened one after another, and secular medicinal herbs of previous years were presented one after another.

There are a total of one hundred and sixty-three plants, all of which are medicinal materials that are over a hundred years old.

If in the world of cultivating immortals, with such a huge amount of resources, it would probably be easy to transform into a mortal, even into the Foundation Establishment realm.

But in this mortal world, without that touch of spirituality, even if it goes through thousands of tribulations and a growth process that is more rugged than those elixirs in the world of immortality, in the end, it is just a mortal thing.

Its medicinal power is only limited to the ordinary level.

In Chu Mu's spiritual perception, and under his vision forged by his alchemy background, this mortal is undoubtedly even more clear.

"Pity……"

Chu Mu murmured softly, and his spiritual consciousness circulated on each medicinal plant. There was no spirit. Although the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials would also change with the age of the medicine, this change was much smoother.

Each sublimation and transformation of the elixir can even be called two completely different existences based on its medicinal properties.

It is precisely because of this that the art of alchemy is difficult.

As for this simple secular medicine, the change in its medicinal properties is just an upward change, a change that can be traced back to its source.

Such simple and clear medicinal properties are naturally extremely simple for him, a master of alchemy.

In just a moment, Chu Mu was already familiar with the medicinal properties of these medicinal materials.

Obviously, for him at the moment, there is no other way but to use these medicinal materials to drink poison to quench his thirst.

Even without the blessing of spiritual brilliance, with his alchemy background, it only took a little time for a clear idea to come up around the medicinal materials in front of him.

For a few days, external affairs were put on hold for Chu Mu.

Hundreds of medicinal herbs, as the thick medicinal fragrance filled the air, were quickly transformed into pills in his hands, which were considered rare treasures in this world.

Pill after pill enters the abdomen, and the old body with dried blood is like the lifeless desert sea ushering in the source of life. It absorbs this rare source of life wantonly with an attitude that is almost greedy...

time flies……
