Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 420

Chapter 419 Isn’t it easy to make people sleep?

Just as the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s leader anticipated, many elixirs are highly dependent on the furnace’s material, the degree of flame fluctuation, and the refining methods. Automatic alchemy machines are not up to standard and can only produce simple elixirs.

There’s no place for automatic alchemy machines in the top three of the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.

The real test of alchemy skills comes at the Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation stages.

Alchemists and furnaces are fiercely competitive, their alchemy skills constantly evolving. For a time, flames soared into the sky, and the aroma of medicinal herbs was overwhelming.

The Sword Lord watched and nodded repeatedly, having learned a great deal.

Ultimately, the furnaces prevailed, while the alchemists were at a disadvantage.

However, the alchemists remained undaunted, because the ultimate decision of whether the alchemist or furnace was stronger came in the Fusion Stage competition.

That was the crucial factor!

“Next, please welcome Su Wei, the head of Dao Sect’s Alchemy Peak, and Chiwu Lu.” Su Wei was participating and unable to lead the overall competition, so the Great Yong Dynasty sent its Sixth Prince to support the alchemy competition.

“Next up is the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s leader and his alchemy furnace.”

“And two alchemy hermits who have just emerged today after a thousand years of seclusion: Jin Li and Chen Jian!”

Jiang Li and the Sword Lord appeared, looking composed and unfazed, pretending to be at the Fusion Stage without a blush.

As a sword master, the Sword Lord had some modesty, but with Jiang Li in his presence, he felt comfortable pretending to be at the Fusion Stage.

“Because the Fusion Stage can refine so many elixirs, a single competition wouldn’t be fair. As per tradition, there will be three rounds, with the winner determined by a comprehensive analysis.”

“The competition begins.” “

The first round will be between alchemists who are also pharmacists. Refining elixirs can enhance their cultivation and also heal illnesses and save lives.”

The Great Yong Dynasty invited a female cultivator. Unlike most of the female cultivators Jiang Li had met, this one had dark circles under her eyes, looked listless, and yawned, as if she could fall asleep at any moment.

“Because this female cultivator possesses a dry yang body, her realm is increasing rapidly. The side effect is that she has difficulty entering a state of meditation. She finds it difficult to sleep and meditate, which are easy for cultivators.”

“According to her own account, in her three hundred years of life, she has had very few moments of quiet rest. Even though she keeps yawning, she just can’t fall asleep.”

“Master alchemists, please help this female cultivator to fall asleep and rest.”

“By the way, I would like to remind you that this female cultivator has other problems. Master alchemists, please pay attention to them when treating her.”

Su Wei was surprised: “Dry yang body, this is a rare physique. Generally speaking, dry yang body only appears in male cultivators. Even if they have difficulty falling asleep, it will not be so serious. As their cultivation level improves, they can gradually control themselves.”

“But this is a female cultivator. The conflict between the Yin soul and the Yang body. As her cultivation level improves, I am afraid that this conflict will only become more intense, making it difficult to fall asleep.”

Even Su Wei had never seen such a situation before, so he could only analyze it theoretically.

“Although the situation is rare, it’s not immune to the principles of the Five Elements. As long as the Five Elements are balanced, all problems can be solved.” Su Wei advocated the Five Elements Creation Theory, believing that the human body, like the universe, contains the Five Elements. As long as the Five Elements are balanced, all illnesses will be prevented.

Everyone present was proud of being an alchemist, confident that this competition would not be a challenge for them, and they all smiled confidently.

There was only one patient; whoever cured him first would win! Speed was key!

The alchemists in the Fusion Stage took to the stage, displaying exquisite alchemy techniques. Even legendary techniques like “One Mind, One Hundred Aims,” “Barehand Alchemy, ” “Void Forming Pills,” and “Nine Dragons Gathering Fire” were showcased, drawing resounding applause from the audience.

Jiang Li and Jian Jun exchanged a bewildered glance. Unfamiliar with alchemy, they had no idea the sheer depth of these people’s skills were on display.

“How about I show you something?” Jian Jun asked. With everyone else showcasing their skills, he felt embarrassed to keep it to himself.

“What’s your performance?”

“Smashing the alchemy furnace with a single sword or something.”

“…”

Half an hour passed, and the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s leader was the first to refine an elixir.

“Sect Master Huang, could you please describe your elixir?” the Sixth Prince of the Great Sui Dynasty asked, setting the tone.

“This elixir I created on the spur of the moment is called the Eternal Sleep Pill. Taking one pill will cause a deep sleep of ten days, during which time you won’t be awakened by any circumstances.”

The Sixth Prince of the Great Sui Dynasty wondered why this thing looked so like something meant to harm someone.

Then he suddenly remembered that the Spiritual Medicine Sect had begun by refining poisons, only to respond to the call to cleanse themselves and return to good.

“Let’s look forward to what Sect Master Huang will do.”

The Spiritual Medicine Sect leader handed the elixir to the female cultivator: “Here, take it, and you’ll fall asleep.”

The female cultivator took it, frowning, then spat it out, retching continuously.

The female cultivator apologized, “My throat is too small to take such a large pill.”

The Chiwu Lu mocked, “Sect Master Huang, you’re not observing carefully enough. No wonder you can’t defeat my alchemist. I could tell at a glance that this female cultivator couldn’t take a pill that large.”

“Then I’d like to see what tricks you have!” the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s leader gritted his teeth.

“It’s simple. I’ll refine the pill into a liquid.” A cloud of liquid medicine floated beside the Chiwu Lu.

The female cultivator drank the liquid in one gulp, still looking like someone who wanted to sleep but couldn’t.

She explained, “The yin and yang energies in my body are intertwined. Any pill or liquid medicine that enters my body will be crushed, and I won’t be able to absorb its medicinal properties.” “

Chiwu, that’s all you can do. You can’t even tell the patient’s physical condition.” Now it was Su Wei’s turn to mock the Chiwu Lu.

As Su Wei lifted the lid of the lumber, a delicate fragrance wafted through the room, tempting people to sleep.

“Since he can’t take the elixir, let’s use the elixir incense to make him sleep. My elixir incense has the effect of purifying the mind and concentrating the spirit. It can make a crying baby fall asleep. A cultivator who smells it will not wake up for three days.”

Su Wei placed the elixir next to the female cultivator. The rich elixir fragrance made the female cultivator sleepy, but she just couldn’t fall asleep.

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

The female cultivator yawned and explained, “The elixir incense is also a medicine. When the elixir incense enters my body, it will also be broken down by the yin and yang energy. I can only absorb a small part of the medicinal properties.”

“I suggest using a medicinal bath. A medicinal bath can absorb the medicinal properties to the greatest extent.” The leader of the Spiritual Medicine Sect suggested that ordinary elixirs could not solve the female cultivator’s problem, and the form of the elixir needed to be changed.

“What’s the use of a medicinal bath? How feasible is it? Let me do it. Haven’t you heard that the fragrance of my elixir is somewhat useful? I will increase the dosage and it will definitely make her fall asleep.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, Su Wei. You are secretly yawning now. Don’t think that I can’t see that you are also affected by the elixir. If I increase the dosage, you will be the first to fall asleep the moment the furnace is opened to produce elixir.”

“Then what can you do?”

“I am the elixir furnace. I don’t have a nose and can’t smell the elixir fragrance. Let me refine this elixir that releases the elixir fragrance.”

“It was obviously my idea, Chiwulu, how dare you say that? Don’t I have a sense of smell when I produce elixir!”

Just as the two were arguing in the furnace, neither of them would give in, Jiang Li appeared behind the female cultivator and with a knife, the female cultivator fell limply to the ground and fell unconscious.

“Isn’t this enough?”
