Chapter 1 Equal Substitution
"Try the same amount of replacement method again, if this still can't refine the useful substances in this material, then I'll stop immediately, and wait until the future cultivation and means are strong enough before continuing to dispose of it. After repeatedly trying for half a day, experimenting with all the various material refining methods he had mastered, and still not achieving any useful results, Ye Qiuli couldn't help frowning, and secretly thought about it.
That method was the last method he could think of that might work, and if it didn't even have the slightest effect, then he could only stop studying this silver-white stone for the time being, and find time to continue it when he was completely free in the future.
After all, he was not alone in his expedition and travels at this time, there was time for him to use and consume, no matter how much effort was spent, it didn't matter much. Now, outside this cave, there are still many people waiting for him to rescue them, and they really can't delay too long.
Therefore, if he couldn't study the specific details of this silver-white stone in a short period of time, it would be impossible for him to stop immediately. If the rescue of Murong Ping's family and the arrested villagers in the village is accidentally delayed, causing them to have any accidents, it will be too late to regret it at that time.
Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead, magnesium, aluminum, titanium, mercury...... Pure gold, mythril, dark iron, copper mother, tin ...... Wutuo gold, blood-threaded silver, wind-milled copper, star iron, Taibai tin...... Taiyi Pure Gold, Taiyi Mithril, Taiyi Refined Iron, Red Refined Fire Copper, Cloud Spotted Tin Mother......
After making up his mind, Ye Qiuli did not hesitate at all, when he even found all the pure metal materials collected in his storage ring, and lined them up in front of him one by one, ready to wait and put them into the tumbling silver-white liquid in the Nine Ambition Spiritual Fire, and at the cost of it, replace the special metal materials that may exist in it, so as to successfully achieve his refining goal.
Fortunately, when he practiced alchemy on the earth, he had spent a lot of money and energy to collect a sufficient amount of metal materials for his own squandering, and then, after leaving the earth, in order to ensure that his "Red Rabbit" spaceship had a sufficient number of repair materials at any time, he did not discard those excess ordinary materials, but specially packed them in a large-capacity storage bag and specially stored them aside.
It was also his casual move at the beginning that provided him with a lot of help in his attempt at this time, otherwise, it would not be easy to let a super master of the Earth Immortal Realm take out a lot of ordinary gold and iron materials on the spot. A super master of that realm doesn't even care about ordinary grade refining materials, let alone those ordinary metals that are not of much use, and even if they find it, they don't bother to collect it.
As for the subsequent materials such as adamantite, mythril, dark iron, copper mother, etc., they were extremely rich in Ye Qiuli's storage ring, some of which he collected by himself, and some of which he rummaged through from the various storage equipment he had seized, in short, the amount was extremely huge, no matter how it was used, it was impossible to easily consume it, and it was not a waste to take out some of them for experiments at this time.
After being completely prepared, Ye Qiuli did not hesitate, when he started with ordinary gold, silver, copper, and iron, he threw them into the liquid mass smelted by silver-white stones one by one, and then entered the seal prohibition that promoted material replacement, and began to experiment in detail with the last material refining method he could think of.
This method is the material refining method he found from the cultivation materials inherited by the ancient god Zhu Rong, and it is the most common method used by monks in ancient times to deal with unfamiliar materials, not only can accurately judge the specific category and general properties of the material, but also experiment with the simplest refining method, which is really a very useful method.
However, although this method is very effective and can handle a wide range of materials, it is too cumbersome to apply and it is difficult to achieve useful results without a lot of effort. Therefore, as the entire refining system was constantly improved, and as various rare materials were discovered, this method gradually lost its usefulness, and not many people would use it in actual cultivation.
After I don't know how many cultivators have explored and experimented, the materials that exist in the world and are useful to cultivators, even if they are not all sorted out, are almost explored, and if future generations want to extract or refine any materials, they don't need to go through so many extremely troublesome steps, just follow the successful experience of their predecessors and repeat the operation, not only is the process very simple, but the final effect can be more significant.
The most crucial factor in why the cultivation civilization can continue to grow and develop from generation to generation is that the cultivators attach great importance to their own inheritance and do their best to protect it.
And among them, the understanding of various heavenly treasures and spar materials has naturally been passed down from generation to generation, and finally, after I don't know how many generations of sorting and perfecting, a strict system has been completely formed, and all kinds of material properties and uses will be recorded in detail.
This is also the most crucial reason why in the cultivation world, professional skills such as alchemy tools and array setting up prohibitions pay more attention to inheritance, because if they want to develop in those aspects, in addition to the cultivator's own cultivation strength being strong enough, their understanding of various materials and treasures must far surpass the countless chips of ordinary cultivators, and they can reach an otherworldly realm.
The only feasible way to achieve great achievements in that area is to keep learning and learning, fully explore the properties and functions of various materials that have been explored by predecessors, and finally turn them into your own knowledge and experience. Although it is not theoretically impossible to study all the materials that exist in the world alone, the time and energy spent in the end is not affordable for ordinary people.
It can be said that the skills of alchemy and array are the crystallization of collective wisdom, and the more blood condensed in the middle, the more magical the role it can play in the end, especially the two main cultivation skills of alchemy and instrument making, which have obvious performance in this regard.
It is precisely for this reason that when the cultivation civilization has developed to an extremely perfect and developed level, the main task of future generations is no longer to carry out arduous exploration, but to do their best to maintain the continuous inheritance of the experience and wisdom of their predecessors, so that they will not be easily lost and destroyed.
In this case, the method of refining materials by the equal displacement method, which was created for exploration and discovery, will naturally lose its effect, and slowly degenerate into a dispensable thing, and finally in the long passage of time, it will be completely lost, and not many people will grasp it anymore.
In today's era, counting the worlds of immortals, demons, demons, Buddhas, and humans, even if this special material refining method is not completely lost, I am afraid that not many people will master it, and maybe 99.99% of people have never heard of that method, let alone actually use it.
At this time, if Ye Qiuli hadn't been extremely lucky enough to get some of the inheritance left by the ancient god Zhu Rong, I am afraid that he would not have known about the existence of that special material refining method. However, even if he knew that method existed, for a long time, he did not pay any attention to it, let alone actually use it, until now, after he had no clue at all, he found it again from the depths of his memory.
The specific situation of that peculiar material refining method can be seen from this, until the last moment when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way at all, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to it, and in the slow river of time, it is really impossible not to lose it.
However, those things don't need Ye Qiuli to worry about, some of them are peerless masters who are annoying, he just needs to do his own thing at this time, and he accidentally found such a miraculous material refining method, he just took the opportunity to experiment with it.
Gold, Failure, Silver, Failure, Copper, Failure, Iron, Failure...... Adamantite, failed, Mithril, failed, Copper, failed, Darkiron, failed...... Black Lump Gold, Failure, Bloodshot Silver, Failure, Wind Grinding Copper, Failure, Star Iron, Failure...... Taiyi Pure Gold, Failure, Taiyi Pure Silver - Well, there is a change, the molten liquid that had not been moving much before has finally changed visibly after the Taiyi Essence Silver was put in!
Officially started the experiment, Ye Qiuli didn't know how many failures he had experienced, and finally when it was his turn to Taiyi Refined Silver, he found gratifying progress, the silvery-white liquid that had not changed at all before, as soon as it touched Taiyi Refined Silver, it immediately underwent extremely significant changes. Obviously, under the urging of the prohibition of the seal, a certain substance inside it reacted very violently with Taiyi Refined Silver on the spot.
Discovering such an abnormal situation, Ye Qiuli was in great spirits, and hurriedly controlled the Nine Divine Fire in his hand and the seal prohibition that was constantly blessed, for fear that there would be some unexpected changes in the middle, so that his experiment would fail and fall short.
I'm not afraid that it has changed, but I'm afraid that it has not changed. At this time, with the addition of Taiyi Refined Silver, the stubborn liquid changed significantly on the spot, which obviously showed that Ye Qiuli's method was used correctly, this equivalent displacement method did have a magical effect, the mysterious material hidden in the silver-white stone, even if it was not the cesium silver he had guessed before, it must be a very special thing, and it would definitely not disappoint.
