Why is it that the more science and technology develop, the lower the refining power of the elixir?

According to the conclusion given by Thief Spring, it is because people now do not believe in this set more and more. Human belief is a terrible spiritual force, especially when it is gathered, it is even more powerful than others.

The incense that the ancients said and the beliefs that Western gods needed were originally meant to collect this power.

In the past, Taoist alchemy had financial support and the blessing of the believers' faith and willingness. Even if others are not from this sect, most of them believe in the effect of refining the elixir. In essence, everyone's expectation of the pill has brought together many forces of faith, and the pill can naturally be refined into a furnace.

But now it's different, modern education, modern medicine makes people no longer believe in the past. This makes the alchemist lose the blessing of the power of faith in the process of refining the elixir.

What is even more terrifying is that modern education has produced countless atheists, and their beliefs have also converged into the power of science. When they saw the alchemy recorded in ancient books, they firmly believed that it was false and superstitious, and that it would definitely fail and be eliminated.

When the power of this belief is gathered, it is a powerful curse for all cultivators, who are vain, who are bound to fail, and who are eliminated. As the process of modernization accelerates, the more such people come and go, the more powerful the curse becomes.

Now, every time you refine a furnace of elixir, it is equivalent to confronting the entanglement of faith of billions of people. Every time a furnace of elixir is refined, it means that the alchemist has won the battle against the beliefs of billions of people.

Every time a cultivator breaks through a realm, it is equivalent to fighting with billions of people and refuting them one by one.

In today's world, the more advanced the elixir, the more difficult it is to refine, this is basically the consensus of the cultivation world. Today's mortals are no longer an aid to cultivation, or an obstacle to them.

In such an environment, Thief Quanzi suddenly saw a person who could refine the Tsukidan, where do you say he wouldn't be ecstatic?

However, Gu Meng didn't seem to want to continue the topic at all - she had already wrestled twice in a row on the prank of boiled eggs: for the first time, she allowed herself to eat a boiled egg in the bath. The second time was when the boiled eggs in the bath became eggs that were washed and built, which made her classmates take a big advantage for nothing.

The two mischief failures have become the psychological shadow of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

If the person who brought up the old story was not her super good father, the little girl would have turned her face a long time ago.

"Girl, you have eaten the apology gift brought by your father. Seeing that Gu Meng didn't mean to pick up, Gu Fan pointed to the banana boat in his daughter's arms, "But you still don't want to give your father a forgiveness?"

"The ice cream is red and white, and I don't see any green," the little girl picked up the big basin and looked at it carefully, she said with a smile on her face: "Why should Mengmeng forgive her father?"

"Where is the haunted house green again?" Gu Fan refuted his daughter's fallacy unconvinced: "Why can you forgive your father after seeing the haunted house?"

The little girl sighed: "Dad, you probably forgot a little, in Hong Kong ghost movies, basically the background lights are based on green." ”

Gu Fan retorted to his daughter angrily: "That's because generally in the plot of a haunted house, other lights will not work properly and go black, only the emergency lights can still shine." And the emergency lights are usually green, don't think I don't know. ”

"It's really strange" The little girl fell into deep thought: "Why is there no problem with the emergency lights when the other lights are extinguished in the ghost movie?" Could it be that this kind of lamp is filled with evil spirits, can't the protagonist use it to exorcise evil spirits?"

The strange thoughts in her daughter's mind are often one after another, and Gu Fan can't keep up with her rhythm: "Mengmeng, don't look at me, I really don't know this question." It's like I don't know how the boiled egg you made turned into Tsukidan. ”

"Dad's explanation is so hard to understand. The little girl held her face and said softly: "Meng Meng is only five years old, and she is only in the first grade this year." Meng Meng didn't understand what her father was talking about. Boiled eggs are boiled eggs, what mysterious power is there?"

Gu Fan was very dissatisfied with his daughter's shirking of responsibility: "Since Mengmeng is only at the level of the first grade, can you tell my father why the content in the language book has become world history?

"Oh, Dad stole Mengmeng's schoolbag, it's not right for you to do this!" Gu Meng put down his little hand and put his hands on his waist instead: "An expert in children's education once said——"

Gu Fan's eyes widened at his daughter: "Could it be that the daughter of an education expert is also called Mengmeng? Or does he know my daughter better than me?" Mengmeng is unique, and the education expert's set of tricks to deal with ordinary children is useless in front of the smart Mengmeng. ”

"Whose daughter can help her father so much like Meng Meng?"

"Uh-huh—Daddy seems to have a point. The little girl was not immune to her father's praise, and she suddenly said happily: "For the sake of the banana boat and Dad's face, Mengmeng reluctantly made an exception to help Dad." ”

"It's worthy of Dad's cuteness. Gu Fan immediately gave compensation conditions to his daughter: "When Dad goes to the haunted house in the afternoon to watch them catch ghosts, you can allow Mengmeng to watch synchronously with VR glasses." ”

---

The weather in September can change as the sun shines brightly at noon and becomes cloudy in the afternoon. By the time Gu Fan sent his daughter home and rushed back to the haunted house, it was already raining heavily in the sky.

The haunted six-story building is surrounded by rain and mist, adding a bit of eerie flavor to it.

Seeing the raindrops the size of beans splashing on the ground, Thief Quanzi's face became a little gloomy: "It can actually affect the weather, and the monsters entrenched in this building are afraid that they have become the climate." Let's cheer up, today will be another tough battle. ”

Gu Fan was a little puzzled and said, "Dao Chief, I don't know if I should say something or not, according to what you said in the morning, since the belief of human beings has caused restrictions on cultivators, why hasn't it affected these monsters?"

"If there is no God in the heart, it is natural that you can not be afraid of God and not believe in God. But it's easy to be godless in your heart, and it's hard to be ghost-free in your heart!" Thief Quanzi sighed: "There are too many people with ghosts in their hearts, even atheists. ”

"The Tao is fading, and the devil is rising. Sister Liu, who seemed to be just the host, interjected: "In the past two years, when we have dealt with the situation, we have felt powerless. There are some youkai that I could have destroyed twenty years ago. Now, if you encounter it again, you have to do your best to deal with it. ”

Gu Fan paid attention to the microphone she was holding in her hand, judging from the fluctuation of the power inside the microphone, it should be a magic weapon - disguising the magic removal device as a microphone, there is no one else who has such a camouflage technique.

"Without further ado, everyone follow in my footsteps. Thief Quanzi said in a deep voice: "I'm going to meet this nearly hundred-year-old ghost for a while today to see if its Taoism is deep or shallow. ”
