Equivalent exchange

It is the common sense of alchemy.

No matter how cruel, it is extremely real, and there is a concept that binds alchemists to material transformation with absolute principles.

In short, absolute fairness.

In terms of pure material exchange, this equivalence fairness is not the fairness of the spontaneous party, but the fairness of the law of creation.

The most primordial attribute of the spirit world is the energy body called "spiritual power", and this energy body is generated at the same time as this world, and the "creatures" who create them are called the light of creation

Chang Yu Feng was still carefully observing everything in the dream realm, it was bright, but no matter where they looked at it, there was only a gleaming golden door lying there blocking their way.

"Equivalent exchange...... Absolutely fair...... The Law of Creation...... The Light of Creation. Lin'er repeated the important words one by one, although it was the first time she had heard of it, but at least she could understand a rough idea, something as powerful as the Creator had a unique set of logical laws to govern the world it created.

The general book of alchemy records that the law of creation holds that gold and stone belong to the same branch of minerals, no matter which kind of stone and gold, this is the case, because the concept of stone is a broad noun, and gold is a deterministic derivative of the concept of stone, so all deterministic derivatives in any branch of stone can be transformed into a substance called gold. The reason why alchemy disappeared was because the concept of energy bodies had not been widely recognized, and even if spiritual power was an energy body, it had only been developed in a long period of "ignorant exploration" and personal use, not to mention the grander concept of energy bodies mentioned in the Law of Creation.

Chang Yufeng paused slightly, because he felt that Lin'er was already confused at this time, he glanced at Lin'er, and Lin'er also looked at him, the kind of doubt seemed to ask him why he stopped.

"Brother Yufeng, I'm listening......"

"Okay......" Chang Yufeng found that this door really didn't have any signs that could be opened, and it was okay to explain the details of the equivalent exchange to Lin'er for the time being.

He simply sat down and continued.

It's like...... There is no way for our world to change the name of the tree, which is fixed, as long as it does not impose artificial things, it has a natural process of extinction, but through some form of alchemy it is transformed into an energy carrier, such as an apple tree, and then it is transformed into an energy carrier like a "tree", and then it is transformed into a ...... A pear tree. That's how it feels. He used his spiritual power to carve out two trees with different shapes so that Lin'er could understand.

The two trees were reconstructed and reconstructed in different shapes, swapping positions.

Lin'er also sat cross-legged on the ground with her, but her clothes were too long, so she had to pick up her skirt and put it aside.

"Hmm...... I almost understand......" Lin'er nodded, looking at this endless white space very seriously, and then looked back at Chang Yufeng and blinked with his eyes: "So...... How? This alchemical transformation...... It looks like a medium......"

"No, alchemy transformation is the means, and the energy body of the law of creation is the medium...... "Chang Yu Feng recycled his spiritual power, looked at Lin'er, and looked at Lin'er with a serious expression: "Generally speaking, it is impossible to achieve the ultimate alchemy transformation...... Because ordinary people do not have such a huge energy body required by the law of creation, and this energy body is often stored through containers, not through flesh and blood, unless that person himself is the embodiment of the energy body of the law of creation. ”

"That'...... Brother Yu Feng...... Is it the embodiment of this energy body? Lin'er listened very carefully, and asked very seriously, like this, it seems to be very normal, and now it is also a very happy thing to be able to sit here and look at Chang Yufeng like this, and chat with him naturally.

There are no other feelings, it's just that, when I ran out of that corridor, I can remember such a good friend in the spiritual world, I can only say that luck is such a thing, it is so wonderful.

"I'm not ......" As for why Lin'er asked like this, Chang Yufeng felt that it might be because there seemed to be too many strange things encountered with him, and they all revolved around him, as long as it was a new thing, Lin'er would naturally guess that it was related to him, and, in a sense, he didn't quite understand what kind of situation he was like now.

"But...... This dream is ...... This dream is the energy body of this law of creation. Chang Yu Feng pointed upward, there, there seemed to be a golden gate as well, but they all knew that Chang Yu Feng was referring to this space that had just collapsed.

"That'...... How do we go back with this body? Can humans also be transformed into energy bodies? Or is it to use this energy to replace us with the outside of us? ”

In response to Lin'er's question, Chang Yufeng nodded and shook his head again.

"What do you mean......" Lin'er looked at the folds on Chang Yufeng's clothes, which seemed to be a little old.

"Half right, half wrong." Chang Yu Feng really seemed to be teaching Lin'er more knowledge, and he was surprisingly serious: "We will indeed let the energy of the law of creation here return our current body to the spirit world, which is where we rest." But...... Mankind...... There is no way to form an energy body. When human beings have consciousness, that is, when they have souls, they cannot become any form of creation law energy body, but only after death. However, the soul is also classified as the energy body of the law of creation, so it ...... To be precise, it works. ”

The more Chang Yu Feng spoke, the more gloomy his face became, and he thought of something bad, he paused slightly and fell silent.

Lin'er saw him silent and asked him what was wrong.

He said it was fine.

Lin'er looked at him suspiciously, so she had to continue to ask, "Will it be ...... Alchemist: Does anyone want to achieve a certain goal through the alchemical transformation of the soul? For example...... Resurrect an important person......"

"It's impossible...... Nagawa Kaede said, "Even if I tell you that the soul is also an energy body...... However, if the soul of a person dies to be transformed into an energy body, there is no way to recombine the amount of this energy into a new and complete human being, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve the same human ...... More precisely, to rely on the soul...... There is no such thing as a resurrection, because the law of creation does not allow for ......."

Changyu Kaede paused again...... This was not the case when he began to speak, and he was equally calm, but much like a learned master, rather than a pause as he is now.

Lin'er found that Chang Yufeng didn't seem to be willing to talk about this aspect of things.

I don't know if it's because Changyu Feng has experienced something else......

The feeling is subtle, such mood swings, as if, should not be ......

The elder sister looked at Chang Yu Feng, who was a little hesitant, and looked down to his lap, he was wearing black boots, which looked like he was dressed in black, with only some white patterns.

"That'...... What is the purpose of alchemy? If it's just bartering...... Money and stuff should be easy to get...... Then there should be a lot of people who will learn alchemy...... However, I haven't encountered a few...... The alchemist ...... "Lin'er no longer asks about this matter, but diverts the topic, maybe, there is resistance to the soul...... Or maybe Brother Yu Feng met a good friend in this spirit world...... Dead......

There is no resurrection from death......

If...... If you can, according to Brother Yu Feng's temperament, he will definitely use alchemy to resurrect that person, even at all costs......

That's what he ......

But......

Obviously, he knew it couldn't be...... Only...... Looking at ......

Therefore, the silence now makes Lin'er a little sad, this dream was quiet, and now only Lin'er's voice is left, so clear, so crisp, gently echoing in the dream world.

"This ...... It's about to go back to the equivalent exchange......" Changyu Feng seemed to come back to his senses, he also looked at his boots, there was nothing dirty here, but this shoe was a little unusually old.

"It's an equivalent exchange again...... Isn't that the basic principle of alchemy...... How could it be ......"

Coming back again......

"That's true...... As a basic principle of the principle of equivalent exchange, all the rules of alchemy must be observed, however...... The specific rules of equivalent exchange are not so clear and ...... It takes a long time to explore...... If alchemy is just money...... The price to pay is too great......" Chang Yufeng coughed and adjusted her sitting posture, she was now face to face with Lin'er, looking at Lin'er's eyes very seriously, Lin'er didn't look at him, but at her sleeve.

It's like absent-mindedness......

Such a small action is quite natural......

It doesn't feel so embarrassing......

He looked at her eyelashes, then down the eyes, the delicate nose, then the red lips, then the white neck, and then the red dress.

So familiar, yet unfamiliar.

"At what cost?" Lin'er looked at him suspiciously, staring into his eyes.

Chang Yu Feng continued to look into her eyes and said slowly: "Although, after thousands of years of continuous inheritance and exploration by alchemists, the general magic book of alchemy has been explored, but the specific details in it ...... It's still changing, and it's even different from what happened in the Treasure Book...... Other words...... The laws of alchemy, through the transformation of matter that have already been explored, are not reliable......"

He continued: "In a sense, it is like this......"

He said that the two trees of different shapes were once again manifested with spiritual power.

One is a dome and the other is a triangular top.

The two trees swirled in his hands.

"We know...... The rule that is known now is that apple trees are converted into pear trees, right......" Changyu Feng asked Lin'er.

"Uh-huh......" Lin'er nodded softly.

"So...... Rely on certain laws...... If we want to convert apple alchemy into a pear tree, we need a little stone, of course, the real alchemy transformation is definitely not a stone, I just ...... "Chang Yu Feng is using spiritual power to manifest the third thing, which is a stone of different shapes.

"Hmm......" Lin'er looked at it seriously and continued to nod.

"So...... By sacrificing this stone, it can be boiled, and the energy of the law of creation possessed by this stone can be extracted, of course, not only boiled, but also ground into powder, then, this stone will be gone...... He's already exhausted......"

Long Feather Kaede turned the stone into nothing.

"Then, use the energy of this stone's creation law to infuse this apple tree, and then pass through a special magic circle, a pear tree may be successfully created......" Long Feather Maple turned the dome tree into a triangular top tree.

"But!" He said very seriously: "What if I still want a pear tree?" Even when there are no more apple trees, I still want a pear tree...... So, what should I do? Chang Yufeng looked at Lin'er, Lin'er dragged her face with her hands, and looked at it very seriously.

"Huh?" Lin'er didn't expect him to ask.

"That'...... Should...... Do you need more creative energy? Lin'er tried to answer.

"This is a big misunderstanding of alchemy conversion...... This rule is not fixed...... That is to say, the energy of the law of creation of the apple tree and the stone is not always equal to that of the pear tree. Chang Yu Feng tried to explain more precisely: "Because this is always unequal to the rules, or even unknown, there is a great difficulty in the things of the alchemy tree, and the general law treasure book only records a very vague concept, that is, equivalent exchange."

"I just said this equivalent exchange...... That is...... The fairness of the absolute law of creation, and the more understandable explanation is that the concept of value ......" Changyu Feng looked at the two triangular top "pear trees" and said: "The value of an apple tree plus the value of a stone is equal to a pear tree at some point, but it is not equal to more often than not. In other words, alchemy, it is impossible and never will ever come true. Even under the rules of the Law of Creation, you never know what is worth what is worth something, you can only guess, even, try your luck. ”

Chang Yu Feng took a breath, then exhaled and said: "Even in some people who hope to achieve the goal of immortality through alchemy, the purpose of resurrecting someone, but, they have not been able to do so, in the cases recorded in the Treasure Book of the Law, such people are even countless, they are not equal to the practice of dark sacrifice, so that the dead can be resurrected "incomplete", but hope to resurrect the dead through alchemy. Therefore, the results of their failures are shocking. ”

"What's the ...... Shocking......"

"They watched as their resurrected man turned into a muddy corpse crawling around...... Even a pool of blood wailing in the circle......"

Changyu Kaede said something like this very neatly.

"That'...... This alchemy...... Nothing can be done...... No wonder no one learns ......"

"No...... That's just one reason...... The more important reason is...... The price required to complete the complex alchemy...... That is, the legendary equivalent exchange...... It will make the alchemists lose what they didn't expect......" Chang Yu Feng looked at Lin'er, who was a little scared.

"Someone just got a puddle of mud and lost their eyes, someone just got a puddle of roaring blood and lost their limbs...... And also...... More ......"

"So...... Alchemy is terrible...... That...... Didn't you say that we also need to use alchemy to convert out? It's too dangerous! Lin'er was so frightened that she turned her head away, not daring to approach Changyu Feng.

"Yes...... However, we are different...... We have a whole human being as a medium......"

"What! Could it be! ”

"Right...... It's outside the dream...... We are ...... sleeping body" Chang Yufeng looked at Lin'er, who was a little scared, but was very calm. There was no trace of fear at all.

"This ...... In case of failure...... We're not ......."

"It's cruel, isn't it?"

"It's not just brutal......"

"This ...... It's equivalent exchange ......"

"This is different after the equivalent exchange I thought!"

"So...... There will be a pure meaning of this dream, didn't I say? Dreamland...... It is also the energy body of the law of creation......"

“…… Oh, my God...... It's all in your plan! ”
