Chapter 17: Elder Long
Long Xuan's imagination continued to expand...
Soon he looked out the window again, zooming in the distance, and once the landscape painting outside was magnified, he also possessed clairvoyance in disguise.
In fact, there are a lot of eagle eyes in his Gu recipe, so even without this ability, his normal vision can already see very far, which is already considered a small clairvoyance.
Once the clairvoyance is combined with the magnifying eye, the terrifying effect is that it is not surprising to be able to see thousands of miles away, but if you want to see such a long distance, you may need to increase the growth of the pupil Gu again, or transform once.
The so-called transformation is equivalent to the advancement of Gu cultivators.
As Gu cultivators continue to advance, Gu insects want to keep up with the pace of Gu cultivators and not be eliminated, so they naturally have to continue to advance.
But the advancement of Gu insects and the advancement of Gu cultivators are completely different systems, so it is not called advancement but transformation.
The transformation of Gu insects depends entirely on eating, and the conditions for each Gu insect to complete the transformation are different. Gu insects don't know what they eat to cause transformation, and they need Gu cultivators to study and explore for them.
Moreover, there are far more than one thing that can meet the conditions for the transformation of the Gu worm. Each Gu worm has countless transformation routes, some of which are strong and some are weak. Choosing which transformation route is also a matter that the Gu cultivator needs to consider carefully.
In short, the transformation of the Gu worm depends on eating, which may be other Gu worms, solid materials, or man-made objects such as elixirs.
If the food is not right, then the Gu worm will not be able to complete the transformation even if it waits for 10,000 years. If it eats the right thing, it can quickly complete the transformation, and even transform several times in a short period of time. The advancement speed is much faster than that of the Gu cultivator.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that the Gu cultivator can cultivate a Gu worm that matches its own realm in a very short time even if the realm of the Gu cultivator is very high.
If the realm of the Gu cultivator is the Gathering Spirit Stage, the Washing Marrow Stage, the Sea of Spirit Stage, the Out-of-Body Stage...
Then the transformation of the Gu worm is the Ordinary Gu, the Spirit Gu, the Strange Gu, the Strange Gu...
Corresponding to the realm of the Gu cultivator one by one.
At present, Long Xuan has not found the transformation method of the Eye of Heaven, but he is still far from the Marrow Cleansing Stage, so there is no rush for this matter.
Don't think about cultivating a strange Gu directly at the level of the Gathering Spirit Stage. It can be done, but once there is a huge gap in the strength between the master and the servant, you don't need to think about what the consequences will be. Either the servant will become the master, or the Gu will bite back.
So Long Xuan did not start to study the transformation route of the Eye of Heaven. His current priority is to continue to develop the ability of the Eye of Heaven.
At first, Long Xuan didn't take the ability of farsightedness to heart. What's the point of seeing far? It can't hurt the enemy, but when he looked at the ground, he was completely uneasy.
Although he didn't have the ability of perspective in the true sense, he suddenly found that the clairvoyance could be matched with his golden finger.
You know, his golden finger can ignore obstacles, such as the spiritual insect wrapped in fossils.
His eyes clearly couldn't see the spiritual insects, and his vision was completely blocked by the thick stone skin, but he could see the progress deep in the fossils.
It was precisely because his golden finger had this characteristic that he could see the progress deep underground with the blessing of the clairvoyance.
Although he didn't know what the progress was, this discovery made him breathe quickly and he couldn't sit still.
What does this ability mean?
It means that he can find underground spiritual stone veins, metal veins, fossil veins... and even ancient tombs.
This is simply countless wealth and countless opportunities.
"It's rich! It's completely rich!"
Long Xuan walked around the house excitedly and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Calm down, calm down, don't be too happy or sad."
Long Xuan slowly calmed down his excitement and continued to develop the ability of the pupil.
The abilities he had come up with were all auxiliary. He wanted offensive abilities, so it was better to ban moves.
Long Xuan's brain worked for a while, and soon thought that since the ability of the pupil was to see the microscopic world, and even to see molecules and atoms.
Then can the soul power be used to change the arrangement of atoms and molecules to create things?
Can the use of soul power to extract or increase the electrons outside the nucleus of an atom, and change the number of protons in the nucleus, transform the substance into another substance?
Long Xuan took a breath and was completely shocked. Obviously, he was also shocked by his bold idea.
If the soul power is strong enough to control the microscopic world, can he become the creator? His mind is about to explode.
He doesn't know, and he doesn't know whether his idea is feasible.
He just thinks that this idea is too terrible, so terrible that it is outrageous.
This is not only the power to create everything, but if this power is used on the enemy, it will directly destroy his DNA, or simply turn the whole person into another thing. Long Xuan feels creepy when he thinks about it.
Unfortunately, his soul power is not enough, and he can't do experiments to control the microscopic world at all.
Even if his idea is really feasible, he can't do it in a short time.
If he really wants to develop this power, his soul power must be extremely terrifying. As far as he knows, even if he becomes the Gu King, he may not have such a strong soul power.
In addition, even if this idea is really realized, he can only create some ordinary things.
Spiritual medicine, spiritual pills, spiritual stones... Most treasures are spiritual. The non-material things contained in the natural treasures of this world are far more than spiritual power. How can he create them by controlling the microscopic world?
So even if he really develops this ability, he probably still has to find most of the cultivation resources himself, and it is definitely not something that can be created by controlling the microscopic world.
Not to mention living things, spiritual insects, Gu insects, and spiritual beasts are definitely not something he can create. Which of the souls, mental power, and life span can be created by controlling atoms?
Thinking of so many limitations, he slowly calmed down. This trick may allow him to have the ability to turn stones into gold, but he can't even think about becoming a creator.
Since he can't study this ability in a short time, Long Xuan doesn't think about it.
As a new Gu species that appeared in this world for the first time, its inventor has the right to name it.
Long Xuan thought for a moment and named it the Eye of Heaven, thinking it was a good name.
After naming the pupil, he turned his eyes and used the ability of the Eye of Heaven to see thousands of miles away to look at the residence of Elder Long...
In a simple thatched house, a sturdy old man sat cross-legged on a straw mat, in front of him was an alchemy furnace floating in the air controlled by soul power.
Under the alchemy furnace was a ball of purple flame, emitting a scorching temperature.
He controlled the purple fire to burn under the alchemy furnace, sometimes big and sometimes small, and soon, all the materials in the alchemy furnace were burned to ashes.
"Damn it! I failed again!"
"Just three materials are missing! Just three materials are missing! Just the finishing touch, why can't I make it?"
"It's been ten years! Just these three materials have been grinding me for ten years, damn it!"
"The Hundred Flowers Pill is the most effective elixir for improving the cultivation of the Gathering Spirit Stage, there is no other. As long as I complete the remaining recipe of the Hundred Flowers Pill, the strength of the Long family will be taken to the next level, but why can't I make it!"
"Is this failure due to the wrong materials or the problem of success rate?" The old man roared like thunder, and his emotions were very excited.
At this time, on the table not far from him, there was an ancient pill recipe, exuding an ancient atmosphere, and it seemed to have been there for many years.
But this ancient recipe was a fragment, missing a corner, and what happened was that the most important ingredient of the three flavors was missing, which was the most valuable main ingredient and was indispensable.
As luck would have it, this ancient recipe was seen through by Long Xuan who was far away. He was too careless. How could he leave the recipe lying around?
But the old man knew nothing about it. He was secretly taught the alchemy and recipe, but he didn't know it. He was still roaring.
Long Xuan looked at him with a sly look, and muttered to himself: "No wonder this old man Long has been staying in that broken thatched house. It turns out that he has been in seclusion to repair the remaining recipe."
Don't think that the remaining recipe is missing three materials. Long Xuan is an experienced person who often makes liver poison recipes. It may take a lifetime for ordinary people to complete these three materials.
Although the number three is small, there are so many kinds of spiritual medicine in this world that they can't be counted. Even if three are randomly combined, there are countless combinations.
Others need to constantly make pills to complete the remaining recipes. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. You may not be able to judge whether the failure of alchemy is caused by the wrong materials or improper operation.
You should know that alchemy in any world has a very high failure rate.
The biggest difficulty is that experimenting with the recipe requires cost. If the experiment fails once, a furnace of materials will be wasted.
One or two furnaces are fine, but if they keep failing, even if you have a mountain of gold and silver at home, they will be used up sooner or later.
Completing the remaining recipe is a bottomless pit. Even if you spend all your money, you may not get any results.
And the missing ingredients are the three most expensive main ingredients at the beginning. You need to take the most precious ingredients to experiment continuously. The high cost has increased the difficulty of completing the remaining recipe.
However, what others cannot do, Long Xuan can do?
He has figured out more than 3,000 materials for the Eye of Heaven, and what is missing are these three materials?
He does not need to spend time and effort to conduct experiments to complete the remaining recipe, and it is zero cost. He has no pressure to use all kinds of expensive materials.
Just three materials are a piece of cake for him, not to mention that since the recipe is called Baihua Pill, the materials must be related to flowers. If the spiritual medicine grade is limited, it has greatly narrowed the scope for him.
