The scene was chaotic, filled with loud noises and commotion that permeated the entire venue.
These two spiritual medicine books, for the alchemy world, are extremely precious. Yet, Liu Wuxie said he hadnt even looked at one of them, which is equivalent to slapping all the alchemists present in the face.
No wonder everyone is very angry and furious at Liu Wuxies response.
"Get out of here, kid! Without having studied the Hundred Herb Scripture and the Divine Farmers Herb-Planting Scripture, do you understand spiritual medicine? Do you understand alchemy? Luckily, the Cloud Pavilion Master intervened in time to stop this pest from entering our Danbao Pavilion Alchemy Conference, or it would have lost face for Danbao Pavilion."
Ping Cheng Ge Zhu Cong Chun stood up, and Wan Yi Chun represented Ping Cheng. He was the first to beat a fallen dog.
"What Conge said is right, this kind of trash should be driven out. If it stays here, what face will our Danbao Pavilion have? The Danbao Pavilion represents the great Yan imperial courts dan medicine world, and such a thing has happened. I suggest a thorough investigation and sealing off those useless branch pavilions."
Mei Cheng Ges master, Heng Zheng, stood up and his words caused a commotion among the crowd. He pointed at Liu Wu Xie, telling him to get out of there.
Who would have thought that Yunlans two simple questions would cause such a big stir.
The audience of over 200 people sat in stunned silence. This years London Conference had not yet begun, and so many things had already happened that everyone was caught off guard.
"Gentlemen, listen to me for a moment. We can only represent the various city factions. This matter should still be decided by the three main judges."
Ning Cheng Ge Zhu Mo Shidian stood up, interrupting everyones discussion.
"Thats right, this is a humiliation for our Dan Bao Pavilion, so I ask the three of you to make a decision!"
Feng Rao Citys Lord Nan Gong stood up, supporting Mo Shi Dao. Wen Song represented Feng Rao City and was also slapped by Liu Wu Xie yesterday.
In just a few short minutes, more than half of the cabinet ministers stood up to condemn Liu Wuxie, something that had never happened before.
The eyes fell on the three main referees, listening to their opinions. Since ancient times, there has been no rule that those who have not studied the Hundred Grass Classic and the Divine Farmers Herb-Root Classic are not allowed to participate in the Dan Conference.
Two ancient scriptures have long been rooted in the alchemy world. Every alchemist starts with these two books, and everyone has grown accustomed to it. Suddenly, someone pops up and tells them that they dont need these two books, no wonder they cant accept it.
The three chief referees picked up the list of contestants and their eyes quickly fell on the last line, the last name: Liu Wuxie.
They spoke in hushed tones, the three of them discussing their countermeasures. If word really got out that Dan Bao Ge had invited an ordinary person to participate in the Dan Hui Conference, what would other imperial courts think?
After discussing for a few minutes, they looked up together and gazed at Liu Wuxie.
"Liú Wú Xié, Cloud Mist Pavilion Master just asked two questions, dont you have anything to say?"
Sang Yan opened his mouth, but did not accuse or condemn, instead he had an inquiring tone, giving Liu Wu Xie a chance to explain.
"Returning to Elder Sang, I also have two questions that I would like to ask Yunlan Pavilion Master, and request his answers!"
Liu Wu Xie bowed his head and walked, his tone was flat and calm, facing the cold ridicule and hot criticism from all sides, he neither got angry nor lost his temper, his facial expression remained calm as water from start to finish.
"Excuse me!"
Before Yun Luan could speak, Sang Yan agreed to his questioning. Coming but not going is impolite, so Yun Luan asked him two questions and countered with two questions, which was also normal.
Everyones eyes were fixed on Liu Wuxies face, wanting to know what he was going to ask. Bi Gongyu also didnt have any good ideas at this moment and could only hope for a miracle to happen.
"Excuse me, Yunlan Pavilion Master. Its well-known that the Seven Spirits Grass grows one leaf in a year and blooms once every three years. However, the Seven Spirits Grass commonly found on the market has yin-cold properties, which is contradictory to its supposed yang-strong nature as a spiritual medicine. As someone with vast knowledge and experience, having read countless classics on herbs, could you please enlighten me on the reason behind this?"
Its a very simple question, yet its so sharp that all the alchemists are staring at each other in dismay. This question seems to be puzzling everyone present.
Qī Líng Cǎo is indeed a medicine of utmost yang and utmost masculinity, both the Classic of Hundred Herbs and the Divine Farmers Herb-Root Classic introduce it as such. Whats strange is that the Qī Líng Cǎo appearing on the market has an unremovable yin-cold property.
Yun Luans face turned bright red with embarrassment, unsure of how to respond. Even the great Master Mao fell into deep contemplation.
"Cant the master of Yunlan Pavilion answer?" Liu Wuxie snorted with his nose and let out a cold laugh: "Didnt these two books of Cao Jing tell you?"
Your question is very clever. You keep mentioning these two books of grass classics, so they must be all-powerful. Please answer this question.
"Kid, youre being unreasonable. This question isnt just something I dont know, but which alchemist present knows?"
As soon as Yun Luans words fell, he knew that he had misspoken and unintentionally offended all the alchemists present. Everyone didnt know what to do again, you said it out loud in public, and it was another matter.
Many people looked at Yunlan with disdain, you dont know whats going on, why drag us down with you.
Especially the three main referees, their faces looked very unsightly.
"Alright, since everyone doesnt know, Ill ask you the second question. All of you are alchemy masters, so please tell me, when refining the Pei Yuan Dan, should we first put in the Chicken Crown Grass or the Chicken Blood Vine? The efficacy of these two medicinal materials is roughly the same, and what about the fire timing, how many minutes?"
This issue involves not only the composition and efficacy of elixirs, but also fire times. Pei Yuan Dan is a first-class dan medicine, the most common one on the market, and every dan apprentice starts from practicing Pei Yuan Dan.
It can be said that among so many alchemists present here, what kind of pill is refined the most? Without a doubt, everyone will answer... Pei Yuan Pill.
"Kid, you dare to ask such a question? Of course, we first put in the cockscomb grass, control the fire at seven marks. The Pei Yuan Dan refined from this will have an enticing color and be plump."
Yun Lans answer was met with no hesitation, and this answer won the recognition of many people, who nodded in agreement, and a round of applause erupted from the audience.
Only one person showed a hint of disdain.
"Is this really the answer of Yunlan Pavilions master? How disappointing!"
Liu Wuxies eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, he had come to attend the Luandan Conference for a major reason, wanting to see the alchemy skills of this continent, but now it seemed that was just his wishful thinking.
But its normal too, this is an ordinary continent, compared with Lingyun Immortal Realm, its like heaven and earth.
"Hey kid, what do you want to say!"
Yun Luan was furious, and with a sudden movement, he stood up, his face revealing a murderous aura. Two questions, the first of which no one present could answer, the method for refining Pei Yuan Dan had long been deeply rooted in peoples minds. The previous answer had brought about a round of applause, and it could be seen that his answer was completely correct.
"The elixir is divided into four levels: forming, fullness, roundness and elixir marks. Just making the elixir grains full makes you boast so much, thinking that your alchemy skills are unparalleled in the world. Im disappointed in you, whats wrong with that?"
Liu Wuxie, although he had not passed the Hundred Grass Scripture and the Divine Farmers Herb-Root Classic, was extremely familiar with the grades of elixirs.
Generally speaking, being able to successfully refine an elixir is a remarkable achievement.
To further improve, it is necessary to reach the level of fullness and roundness of the grains. Even if one is a master of alchemy, they dare not say that every pill produced is perfectly full and round. It all depends on luck, and perhaps with good fortune, one may encounter one or two such pills.
Danwen, only limited to legend, no one has ever heard of anyone refining Danwen.
"Kid, being able to reach a state of fullness is already quite impressive. If you simply ask these two questions, it doesnt have much significance, after all, these problems are also troubling us."
Shan said: "You asked a question that no one present can answer, it doesnt represent anything."
Its just like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg, no one can give a definitive answer.
"Cant anyone answer?" Liu Wuxie swept a glance around, including the three main referees, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of mockery: "Then Ill tell you now, the reason why the Seven Spirits Grass became a yin-cold attribute is because you made a big mistake when planting it. You thought that by placing it in sunlight, it could absorb the pure yang energy, but thats a huge error."
It is well-known that the Seven Spirits Grass can only absorb sufficient yang energy when planted under sunlight.
"Most spiritual herbs absorb light through their leaves to undergo photosynthesis, but the Seven Spirits Grass is just the opposite. It needs to be planted in a cold and dark place, absorbing the cold and dark energy from underground. After being converted by the leaves, the yin and yang are reversed, and the universe is transformed. Youve been planting for so many years, dont you understand this superficial principle?"
Liu Wuxies words left everyone present in a state of shock and bewilderment, unsure of how to respond.
"Kid, no one believes your empty words! Whatever you say is true!"
Xiao Mingyi jumped out, this problem has plagued them for hundreds of years, and no one can solve it. With just a few words from Liu Wuxie, its not worth mentioning.
The "Hundred Herbs Classic" records that the Seven Spirits Grass is a medicine of utmost yang and utmost hardness. At first, everyone believed it, but later on, no one paid attention to it anymore, thinking that the author made a mistake.
"Liu Wuxie, how can you prove that every word you say is true?"
Sang Yan would not be like Xiao Mingyi, blaming Liu Wuxie and asking questions.
"After entering the fourth corridor of Qian Xi Business Association, under the third grid of the fifth column, there is a book called Wild Grass Records. On the seventh page, the last line records the method of planting Seven Spirits Grass. If you dont believe it, you can go and take a look to know."
Yesterday, Liu Wuxie passed by and used the Ghost Pupil Technique to take a look. The knowledge on it was not very useful for him, so he didnt buy it. But unexpectedly, it came in handy today.
"Someone come and bring this book here!"
Qian Xi Merchant Association was not far from the venue, a guard rushed out and returned with a book after about the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
The guard respectfully placed a worn-out book in front of Sang Yan, the cover of which was already blurry and only barely visible were the three words "Miscellaneous Grass Records".
Page by page, it quickly turned to the seventh page, and his eyes fell on the last line.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, a line of small characters appeared, recording the method of planting Seven Spirit Grass, exactly the same as what Liu Wuxie described, without any difference.
"This..."
Sang Yan handed the book over to Master Mao for examination. Why is it that neither the Hundred Grass Canon nor the Divine Farmers Herb-Root Classic has any record of this, while Miscellaneous Records of Grasses does?
Zhou Xinsheng and the others gathered around, looking at the last sentence, their eyebrows slightly furrowed. It was true what Liu Wuxie had said - the spiritual medicine they had cultivated for hundreds of years was all wrong.
The spear master didnt say a word, continuing to flip page after page, and when he flipped to the last page, his whole body shook, as if struck by lightning.
"This is... This is Master Qins handwritten note."
The spear masters body trembled with excitement as he held onto the book, reluctant to let go, as if it were a precious treasure.
