Chapter 172: The Shackles of the Divine Alchemy Realm
The medicine god didn't seem to see the slightest trace of embarrassment on Zhang Ledao's face, but continued to slowly put away the fanaticism on his face and return to the previous image of a kind and smiling old man.
"Yesterday, I was in a hurry to try the new pill, and I ignored many things, and today I asked Xiaoyou to solve the old man's doubts!" The medicine god spoke very politely, and he did not look down on Zhang Ledao because of his weak strength and low status, but instead looked down on his face.
This really made Zhang Ledao unbearable, before he experienced the previous Gathering God Pill incident, the God of Medicine was at most a respected and powerful person in Zhang Ledao's heart, but now the God of Medicine has set up a mountain peak in Zhang Ledao's heart!
This is probably the true status of the God of Medicine in the hearts of all alchemists! Far beyond the simple admiration and admiration of the forces of the mortals, but even if he practices for thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, it is difficult to reach the level of the God of Medicine!
Zhang Ledao didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly gave it up
"The senior's words are just tormenting the boy, but if the seniors have anything unclear, the younger generations will naturally know everything and say everything!" Zhang Ledao has now been truly convinced by the God of Medicine! The God of Medicine is very comparable in terms of cultivation and alchemy, as well as in terms of character and morality. Only such a person can establish such a wonderful place above the Divine Prefecture as Medicine King City!
"I don't know what the seventh order is that Xiaoyou has been talking about, why has the old man walked the world for nearly a thousand years, but he has never heard of such a statement?"
"The current pill industry in our Shenzhou Continent can be said to be in an extremely backward state!" Zhang Ledao said this, deliberately glanced at the God of Medicine, and saw that he nodded very approvingly before continuing:
"This has something to do with the situation in our Shenzhou all along! The perennial war of life and death, our Shenzhou has no stable development soil at all! Therefore, our magic weapon forging industry is extremely developed, but the pill industry is far behind!"
"Hey, although this is good, it is slightly off!" The medicine god looked at Zhang Ledao helplessly when he heard this
"Senior, please give me advice!" Zhang Ledao hurriedly clenched his fists
"In fact, 40,000 years ago, there was a golden period in the development of the elixir, and then a war broke out between the two races, and the alchemists of the entire Shenzhou were completely cut off and divided into demon alchemists and human alchemists!
The medicine god paid attention to Zhang Ledao's eyes several times as he spoke, and made sure that he understood it before continuing
Zhang Ledao's eyes lit up
"Could it be that there are more powerful alchemists in the demon clan?"
"This is not necessarily, but whether it is the split between the two races of the demons or the barrier of the endless forest, all of this is extremely serious hindering the development of alchemy and the growth of the number of alchemists! Alchemy requires materials, it needs to communicate, and it rises from countless failures! The consequences of this geographical separation are actually very extensive! This is the fundamental reason why Shenzhou alchemy has not developed greatly for tens of thousands of years!" After the medicine god finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly again
Zhang Ledao fell into deep thought! Is the division and barrier of regions the real reason for the backwardness of the two Shenzhous? Why did he never think of it before? The materials needed for alchemy are not just what one domain can provide! Moreover, just as the god of medicine said, alchemy requires exchanges! It is absolutely impossible to rest on its laurels and work behind closed doors! Only by exchanging experiences with each other can we promote common development, otherwise this kind of empirical science will always be in the "juniors verifying the experience left by the predecessors with a voice" In the endless loop, generation after generation verification but no development!
Zhang Ledao had to agree that this was the most fundamental problem with Shenzhou Alchemy's stagnation-it was too difficult to cross domains!
"Of course, this is only one aspect! The so-called war theory actually has loopholes, and on the other hand, it is necessary to take into account the new Heavenly Dao pioneered by Nanhua Ancestor and the development of the refining industry that is far ahead of its time!"
"How does it have anything to do with Nanhua Ancestor's New Heavenly Dao?" Zhang Ledao is not the first time he has heard someone criticize Nanhua Ancestor, but he really can't think of how to connect this together!
"Haha! Actually, it doesn't matter whether the new Heavenly Dao created by the Nanhua Ancestor is right or wrong! It can only be said that the younger generations understand and apply the New Heavenly Dao! Now there is a view in the upper echelons that it is precisely the New Heavenly Dao of the Nanhua Ancestor that has led to the endless conquest of the 40,000 years! There is a reason for this, and there is also something that cannot be justified by itself! Today, we will not talk about this, nor will we evaluate the rights and wrongs of the Nanhua Ancestor! Let's just assume a scenario."
After speaking, the medicine god looked at Zhang Ledao with a smile, revealing a kind of confidence in his eyes, thinking that Zhang Ledao would definitely agree with his self-confidence.
"What scene?"
"If you are the sect master of the sect and you only have a sum of money in the face of a protracted war, do you go to purchase the pill or the magic weapon?"
"Of course it's an elixir...... No! It's a magic weapon!" Zhang Ledao almost blurted out, but soon realized the problem
"Haha, how did you figure it out?"
"Compared with the endless number of disciples, the cost performance of purchasing magic weapons is much higher than that of pills! On the one hand, pills are consumables, and if they are eaten, they will be gone! But if they are replaced with magic weapons, especially high-end magic weapons, they can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of their own forces when they are popularized, and they can be passed on! When a disciple dies, he will die, and it is a big deal to re-recruit, anyway, there are many cannon fodder!" Zhang Ledao said, this may sound a little cruel, but it is a fact! The bloody facts, if he were in charge of the sect, he would do the same! The elixir only needs to be reserved for the elite disciples in need! The ordinary cannon fodder disciple can only blame his bad life when he dies!
"That's right! Then think about it, in the same environment, do you buy a cheap and powerful magic weapon, or an expensive pill that "can't be saved if you are seriously injured, and you will be better if you are slightly injured"?"
"With the continuous progress and development of the magic weapon, the living space of the ammunition will be infinitely compressed! Even the birth of the therapeutic magic weapon will plunge the alchemy world into a devastating blow!" The medicine god's gaze is extremely long-term, giving people the feeling that his eyes are extremely deep, and he doesn't know how many stars he contains.
"Therapeutic magic weapon..."Zhang Ledao muttered, isn't this already there! I have just used it in the Southern Regions! Although this kind of therapeutic magic weapon has not yet been born in Shenzhou, the god of medicine has indeed seen everything! The excessive expansion and development of the magic weapon will inevitably completely swallow up the alchemy industry in the end!
"Yes, it is a therapeutic magic weapon! For example, the restoration of divine soul damage, the treatment of severed limbs and the repair of the body, etc., although it has not yet appeared, but if the Shenzhou Alchemy World does not step up its development, it will always appear one day in the future! This may be good news for the Shenzhou monks, but it will definitely become a milestone turning point of destruction for the Shenzhou Alchemy World."
"The Endless Forest and the current Heavenly Dao are the two chains and shackles tied to the Divine Alchemy Realm! This is also my original intention to establish the Medicine King City!"
