Chapter III: Debate
? Ge Hong is obviously talented, what kind of "melting elixir" is this, it is a pill 'medicine' that has never been seen in Baopuzi. And in time, Ge Hong may develop the forbidden technique again, and in the 'exchange' with Chen Yuxiang through the alchemist channel, Ge Hong has already 'revealed' the idea of trying to use low-level spirit grass to refine high-grade pills.
If this Enlightenment Pill Pill is announced to the world, it will inevitably have an impact on the cultivation realm of the Kyushu Continent. The consequence of the rapid expansion of cultivators is the rapid consumption of heaven and earth aura. This will also inevitably accelerate the process of the demise of the cultivation realm of the Kyushu Continent, so his own otherworldly Hehuan Sect will naturally die out quickly!
If that's the case, the purpose of coming here to start a sect will be greatly reduced, and how long can the incense of the Hehuan Sect last in this world?
So Chen Yuxiang immediately decided to pour cold water on Master Ge. This kind of "Enlightenment Pill" recipe can never be passed on.
"Brother Ge, your wish is good, but the development of things may not be as you wish. I think my brother means that he wants to make this recipe public, but have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?" Chen Yuxiang looked at Ge Hong and said very seriously.
"Brother, I'll tell you the truth, I'm also a little uneasy now, but I still haven't thought it through. What are the consequences, brother, you analyze and analyze with me. I completed this recipe a few months ago, but I haven't been able to 'hand it in'. Ge Hong also sat up straight and said seriously.
"Xiaoqi, you go first. I'm talking to your father about something important. Chen Yuxiang was still holding the young woman's soft and smooth little hand at this time, patted the back of the young woman's hand lightly, and said with a smile.
Xiao Qi obediently 'twitched' her hand back, her little face was as red as a red apple, and she obediently withdrew. However, a sound echoed in Chen Yuxiang's ears: "Bad guy!"
Chen Yuxiang watched the young 'girl' leave, then smiled slightly, looked at Ge Hong and said: "Brother has the world in his heart, I admire it very much. But I asked my brother, how much does your Enlightenment Pill cost?"
"Does it cost...... Don't tell my brother that this kind of pill 'medicine', if I refine it now, the success rate is extremely low, and there are only these two pills now, one Xiaoqi has tried it, and now there is only this one! Ge Hong shook his head.
"What if it's 100 percent successful, and how much does it cost?"
"One hundred percent success, where is such a thing!" Ge Hong said suspiciously, and immediately shook his head, "Even if it can be 100 percent successful, the cost of this one will require more than one million spirit stones. After all, there are too many spirit grasses needed here, and the vintage is too high. It is not so easy to attract the spiritual roots of mortals. ”
"Then even if it's a million spirit stones!" Chen Yuxiang sneered, "Do you think that all mortals in the world can afford to pay a million spirit stones?"
"That's not possible. But brother, didn't I tell you, I'm now researching the alchemy method of replacing high-grade spirit grass with low-grade spirit grass? If it can be successful, this writing pill 'medicine' can be refined by using the 10-year spirit grass to attract a heaven and earth spiritual qi into the 'medicine', and then the cost can be controlled within 10,000 spirit stones! At that time, there will be even more mortals who can afford it!" Ge Hong protested.
"Ten thousand spirit stones, how many gold coins, have you calculated?" Chen Yuxiang shook his head again, "One million gold coins! Mortals in the world, except for the real giant businessmen, who can pay this number? Besides, not all the treasures of heaven and earth can be cultivated artificially, if it is really possible to use the ten-year spirit grass as a guide to attract the heaven and earth spiritual qi alchemy, then the monks will inevitably dry up and fish, and within a hundred years, there will never be any spirit grass in the deep mountains and rivers. When the time comes, I wonder if with all the spirit grass that can be artificially cultivated, can the old brother refine another Enlightenment Spirit Pill?"
"This ...... This ......" Ge Hong opened his mouth and was speechless.
"Also," Chen Yuxiang showed no mercy and continued, "Even these problems can be solved, and in the end, everyone can cultivate, my brother thinks that in this world, there are more cultivators, is it a good thing? The more people become cultivators, the more heaven and earth aura they have to consume. The monk channeled the five elements of spiritual energy into his body and turned it into spiritual power, and once he branded his soul, even if these heaven and earth spiritual energy could never be used by others. It's impossible for my brother not to know this truth. If everyone can cultivate, then within a thousand years, there will be no more monks in this world! Brother, this world is limited, and it can't accommodate too many cultivators! Everyone in the world has a destiny, and this move by Brother is tantamount to going against the sky, which is very unwise. If there really is such a day, brother, you will be a sinner through the ages in the history of cultivation in the Kyushu Continent!"
"......" Ge Hong was silent for a moment, and said disapprehensively, "Then let me ask my brother, since you think it's not a good thing that everyone can cultivate, then in the boundless wilderness, all the demon beasts can cultivate, what do you think of this?"
Ever since he met Ge Hong at the foot of Bauhinia Mountain, Chen Yuxiang has been preparing for this debate with Master Ge, and any question has been taken into account, where can he not be answered? Chen Yuxiang sat up straight and said solemnly: "Everything in heaven and earth has a fixed number. There are thousands of wild monsters, and they can all be cultivated in the sky, but do you know how many monsters there are in the wilderness? How many are there in our human race? Little brother, I just returned from the wilderness, and the boundless wilderness is a hundred times larger than my human race area, and the total number of demon beasts in it is only dozens of times that of my Huaxia monks. Each demon beast family occupies a huge area. Based on the same area, the number of barbarian demon beasts is even less than the number of monks in my human realm. The more advanced the demon beast, the more difficult it is to give birth, and there are heavenly reasons to follow. Besides, although the demon beast has a long lifespan, but before it failed to transform, it was all muddy, and although my human lifespan is short, it is born with spiritual intelligence, and the 'fine' color is abnormal. I have been a human being for decades, but I have lived happily for a hundred years or a thousand years compared to demon beasts!"
Ge Hong was silent for a long time, his face turned pale, and finally he shouted with some shame: "According to you, my efforts in the past half of my life have been in vain?
"Naturally, the Qiling Pill can't be said to be without merit, otherwise I wouldn't have traveled all the way to come, brother!" Chen Yuxiang chuckled, "And my brother has worked hard for half his life to improve the ancient recipe of the sheep, and has already made a great contribution to Huaxia, how can it be said that he is busy in vain? But my brother's recipe for the Enlightenment Pill must be handled carefully, and the way that my brother will study in the future will also change!"
Seeing that Chen Yuxiang had changed his tone, Ge Hong exhaled heavily, looked at Chen Yuxiang and said, "Then tell me, how should I deal with this recipe of the Enlightenment Pill?
"Hehe!" Chen Yuxiang smiled slightly, "The recipe of the Qiling Pill must not be 'handed over' to the Wanbao Pavilion for public - of course, if you 'hand' it over to the Wanbao Pavilion, the royal family will not let it go public." The recipe of the Enlightenment Pill, brother, you can keep it well. Moreover, in the future, the elder brother's 'essence' power should be mainly focused on studying the improvement of ancient recipes and researching new pill 'medicines', as for the matter of using low-grade spirit grass as the introduction to refine high-grade pill 'medicines', it is a forbidden technique, and it must not be studied anymore. If my brother can do this, it will be the blessing of the common people and the happiness of all the people!"
"The blessing of the common people, the happiness of the people!" Ge Hong was stunned for a long time, and suddenly looked at Chen Yuxiang deeply, "I understand! Brother Jin 'Jade' good words, Ge Mou suddenly opened! Speaking of which, you are the blessing of the common people and the luck of all the people!"
After all, Ge Hong is a smart person, and he is confident that he will definitely be able to study the forbidden technique, but the scene depicted by Chen Yuxiang is also extremely terrifying. Yes, if everyone can cultivate, then what if the aura of heaven and earth is exhausted?
Chen Yuxiang sat still, calmly accepted Ge Hong's salute, but said in his heart Where am I thinking about the world? But this is all true, and it has already happened once in the homeland of China. I established the Hehuan Sect in this other world, and what I expect is thousands of years. If he was really by Ge Hong like this, and the Kyushu Continent had also entered the era of Great Alchemy, then his disciples and grandchildren would have to go to another world to open up the wasteland to continue the incense! In fact, in the final analysis, Chen Yuxiang's purpose was just for his otherworldly Hehuan Sect.
"I won't study the forbidden technique in the future. But this recipe for the Enlightenment Elixir, what do you think I should do?" Ge Hong sat back in his seat and looked at Chen Yuxiang sincerely asking for advice.
Chen Yuxiang smiled slightly and said, "If the elder brother trusts me, you might as well 'hand' this recipe to the younger brother to deal with." If you don't trust me, that's it!"
"Since I let my brother come, I naturally won't keep this recipe a secret. But I'd like to hear what my brother is going to do with this. Ge Hong said seriously with Chen Yuxiang.
"It's very simple, be alone!" Chen Yuxiang said without hesitation.
"What does that mean?" asked Ge Hong.
"Brother, since the Qiling Pill recipe was born in your hands, this is also the will of heaven. We can't change the order of this world, but we can give some kind of creation to the people around us, which is also part of Destiny. Chen Yuxiang smiled and said, "It's like Miss Xiaoqi, if it weren't for the sake of trying the 'medicine', the elder brother wouldn't have accepted her as a righteous 'girl', right?
Chen Yuxiang opened his mouth and closed his mouth about the destiny, in fact, it was still a sentence in the end, and I smiled at it. However, his words were high-sounding, and Ge Hong couldn't find any 'fault'.
"My brother is a real villain!" Ge Hong looked at Chen Yuxiang and exclaimed, "It's straightforward enough, hehe! But I have benefited a lot from my brother in the way of alchemy, and this recipe is naturally shared with my brother." This is the recipe for the Qiling Pill, my brother has put it away!" After speaking, with a wave of his hand, a piece of 'jade' simply flew towards Chen Yuxiang.
Chen Yuxiang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to grab the 'jade' Jane, and then put it away very solemnly, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart. Since meeting Ge Hong, the two have had a lot of 'communication' through the alchemist channel, and Chen Yuxiang did give Ge Hong a lot of advice, but these points are not Chen Yuxiang's own views at all, but are all from the alchemy masterpiece "Hug Puzi", in the final analysis, it is just Ge Hong's own wisdom. After Lord Danshen was reincarnated, he had obviously forgotten everything, but the talent was still there, and these things could naturally be studied over time, and what Chen Yuxiang was sitting on was just letting Ge Hong take some detours!
But cause and effect are truly wonderful. Without Chen Yuxiang's guidance to Ge Hong, this recipe for the Enlightenment Pill might not have been able to appear. And without the Enlightenment Pill, Gianna can only grow old helplessly.
Chen Yuxiang asked for this recipe, naturally for the sake of the beautiful young 'girl' with black hair like a waterfall in Yucheng City! Among all the confidants, only this one is still a mortal.
Thinking of Ma Xiu's words in the Star Picking Building, Chen Yuxiang was also secretly frightened in his heart. Is there really such a thing as fate? Is your future really planned?
Otherwise, why did Matthew know that he didn't need to 'waste' a wish, and he could solve the problem that Gianna couldn't cultivate with his own efforts?
