Chapter 11: Dead Wood Regeneration

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it was time for Zhang Shen to give a lecture.

The first time he came to the stage, it was also an opportunity for the people of Feixian Peak to show their strength, Zhang Shen thought about it, combined with his understanding of alchemy these days, and made a decision.

The pulpit of Feixian Peak is open-air, with an aisle in the middle, and the seats of the audience on both sides, like an arena, one layer up and up, with a total of three layers. The aisle goes straight ahead, and at the end there are five stairs, and up the stairs is the lectern for the lecturer to stand.

When Zhang Shen arrived, more than 30 people had already arrived first, sitting in the audience seats on both sides, either discussing passionately or sitting quietly. They were also interested in the new "lecturer", especially since the latter was said to be from the next door from Amestories, and had a deep knowledge of alchemy.

Of course, they were more interested in alchemy.

Zhang Shen walked to the end of the aisle and stepped on the stairs.

One after another, eyes gathered and fell on him, and it was not until he stepped up to the podium that they retracted.

When the majestic bell that symbolized the beginning rang, there were already seventy or eighty people sitting in the audience seats on both sides, which was not a lot, but it was definitely a lot.

Zhang Shen calmly made a brief introduction.

"I know that you must all have come for alchemy, so I have prepared a case study of alchemy." As he spoke, he nodded across the ink string at the other end of the aisle and stepped off the podium.

Mo Xian, who had been preparing for a long time, suppressed the apprehension in his heart, and brought some items from a few other ordinary people.

A stump of a tree that had been dead for a long time and showed signs of decay, as well as a dozen bags of powdered items of various colors and several buckets of water.

The audience began to whisper, and the falling eyes began to become a little eager. They all guessed what Zhang Shen was going to do next, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.

Zhang Shen took out his pen and began to draw the refining array.

The circle that symbolizes the endless cycle of all things;

The hexagon, which symbolizes the six mysteries of the world;

The four figures, which symbolize the four basic forces of earth, fire, water, and wind, overlap each other;

After a slight pause, the pen walked away, and strings of runes and techniques poured from the end of the pen, which was complicated and difficult to name.

The alchemists present are all elites among the people, looking at the rune spells, the original smile on their faces has converged, their faces are solemn, and their brains have begun to run wildly.

Almost all of them knew the alchemy text, but when these words and symbols were combined, everyone was entangled and found that they couldn't understand anything.

The atmosphere in the field was immediately condensed, and everyone consciously held their breath and concentrated, so as not to disturb Zhang Shen's movements.

The alchemy array drawn by Zhang Shen is not large, and the diameter is just over one meter, but because the following experiment involves too much content, the space in the array is occupied by strange alchemy characters, and at first glance, there is a feeling of dizziness.

After writing the last text, Zhang Shen put away his pen and asked Mo Xian and the others to put the prepared dead wood, water, powder and other things on the refining array.

Those powders are essential elements for plant growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, that Zhang Shen has spent some time preparing for.

What Zhang Shen wants to refine today is-

Dead Wood Regeneration!!

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Shen put his hands on the refining array and sighed softly:

"Forge into a formation, start!!"

Dazzling silver electricity erupted thinly, covering the entire refining array, and for a while, the light was dazzling, dazzling.

The electric light lasted for less than ten seconds before it dissipated instantly, and in front of everyone's eyes, a wonderful change was brewing!

As if manipulated by an invisible hand, piles of powder and clear water flew towards the dead wood, and the moment they touched, indescribable changes occurred, as if the water droplets melted into the sea, and the powder and water disappeared, merging with the dead wood.

A few breaths, everything else melted into the dead wood.

Zhang Shen's expression became a little more solemn, and everyone could see that a shocking change was taking place in the dead wood that had long since lost its vitality.

All of Zhang Shen's attention has long been completely condensed in the dead wood, or rather, some dried cells.

He could clearly see that the dried cells, after absorbing the nutrients and water, were plump again.

Cell wall, membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes......

Under the mysterious effect of nutrition and alchemy, the cells that had long been dormant awakened from their slumber and regained their peak appearance again, full and plump.

In the eyes of many alchemists, I only saw that after Zhang Shen snorted, the dead wood that had absorbed those strange powders and water began to reappear.

In less than a cup of tea, this piece of withered yellow stump completely returned to its previous appearance before it was cut down!!

The eyes of the alchemists began to glow, and the desire to study was churning in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to know the answer, and then try it themselves.

However, the clever alchemist saw the problem.

There is no life!!

That's right, although the stump looks to be restored, it actually looks like a pickled cucumber with a layer of green paint, and it is not really restored, but only the same thing.

However, they looked at Zhang Shen's appearance and knew that all this was not over yet.

It is true that there is no end to it, and the real difficulties have just begun.

After confirming that each cell had returned to its original state—at least superficially—the spirit that Zhang Shen had been condensing in one place began to diverge, turning into countless filaments that spread all over the stump.

If someone can see the distribution of each wisp of spiritual power and depict it, they will find that Zhang Shen's divergent spiritual power has formed an alchemy formula!

Let's recover!!

The moment the alchemy formula was formed, Zhang Shen shouted angrily in his heart, and the wonderful power emanated from the formula, turning into a very strange fluctuation that enveloped a cell.

The cells seem to have been rusted to death and now the machine that has been moved out and scrubbed again, this strange fluctuation is like the legendary source of fire, and as soon as the two come into contact, it contains a trace of the mysterious power of the laws of heaven and earth, and suddenly explodes!!

Cells, alive!!

The silent heart once again gave out a powerful beat!!

Immediately, like the first spark in the prairie fire, with this cell as the center, the wonderful power quickly surged and spread in all directions, covering all the cells almost instantly at a terrifying speed beyond the reaction of ordinary people.

The alchemists present immediately noticed that a rich vitality emanated from the stump!

It's really revived!!

At this point, Zhang Shen can finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, this refining is far from over!

When the concentration of the stump's vitality reached the extreme, the sound of "click" came into the ears of all the alchemists.

When they looked closely, cracks broke on the surface of the stump, and then pieces of bark fell off, revealing new bark that was more full of life, like a thriving tree, giving people a vigorous feeling.

The stump is placed vertically, with one end facing up and the other touching the ground.

In the amazed eyes of everyone, the side that touched the ground actually ...... Rooted!!

That's right, pale yellow roots break through the blockade and grow from the bottom of the stump, then pierce the hard rock layers, penetrate into the earth, and quickly absorb the nutrients underground.

In Zhang Shen's perception, after the last few roots stopped growing, they began to frantically absorb the nutrients in the soil and supply the body.

Several delicate branches poke out from the top section of the stump, and begin to grow and grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into healthy branches that are nearly a meter long and nearly a meter thick for a child's arm.

On the branches, patches of green leaves are born.

The originally bare stump turned into a tall and lush tree in less than a quarter of an hour!!

Mo Xian and several other ordinary people were already dumbfounded, and all the alchemists applauded Zhang Shen after a short silence.

Outsiders look at the bustle, insiders look at the doorway. The alchemists who came to "listen to the class" were all insiders, and they naturally saw that what was embodied in these short ten minutes was far from being able to finish it in a moment and a half.

Since then, Zhang Shen has truly joined Feixian Peak.

The refining was successfully completed, and Zhang Shen also smiled happily and gestured to both sides.

Everyone couldn't hold it anymore and walked down one after another, chattering with Zhang Shen to discuss the alchemy knowledge contained in this alchemy experiment.

While Zhang Shen and many alchemists were enthusiastically discussing alchemy and alchemy, somewhere in Feixian Peak, several old men with white hair and beards also watched Zhang Shen's alchemy experiment through a certain method.

"What do you think of this?"

"At a young age, you can master the alchemy of that country to this extent, which is extraordinary."

"There is indeed a trace of the demeanor of the sage of the West back then, but unfortunately, it is still far away."

"It's a pity, his heart is not in Kunlun, not in Feixian, otherwise he may be able to inherit our mantle, if he can really integrate Eastern and Western alchemy and alchemy in the future, perhaps, he can really reach the mysterious realm imagined by his predecessors."

…………

"So, what do you think should be done with him?"

"Let him go."

"Yes, yes. Our alchemist does not have the habit of cherishing himself with a broom, and how much he can learn depends on himself. ”

The old man felt that his arrival was also good for the flying immortals and those little cubs. Just let those guys who don't know the height of the sky know the truth that there are people outside the world, hehe. ”

…………

"Guys, I have a good proposal."

"Didn't the fifty surnames come up with a Dan meeting in order to compete for the crown prince's throne, and invited Kunlun Twelve Days and other alchemists to participate?"

"Oh, you mean ......"

"That's right, Feixian sent him there this time. How is it? ”

"Hmm~~ Sounds good."

"Well, that's it."

"Qingguo has been a bit smoky recently, and the secret fighting of the fifty surnames is a bit excessive, so let this son stir up the wind and clouds, and let those hidden evil and traitors surface, and then we will clean it up."

"It's a brilliant plan."

[PS: After the vertical and horizontal revision, I am not used to it. Moreover, it seems that the number of red votes has decreased, is it because the voting has become troublesome after the revision? 】
