The Medicine Saint Would Be Just as Dumbfounded as Me

Chu Xinghe felt that he had already gone too far...

After all, anyone with a sound mind wouldn't even consider the idea of making medicinal pills grow from the ground, right?

I, Chu Xinghe, dare to say this mainly because I have the Medicine Saint Inheritance. I can shamelessly claim that this is all recorded in the Medicine Saint Inheritance.

So no matter how outrageous it is, there will still be people who believe it.

Even if it ultimately fails, the Medicine Saint will be the one to take the blame.

But what the hell is your Muyue Kingdom?

How did you come up with such a bizarre idea as growing medicinal pills in the ground?

Wasn't the Muyue Kingdom researching automated alchemy recently?

Why did you all end up going to the fields to do your research?

Chu Xinghe soon learned why the Muyue Kingdom would do such a bizarre thing.

Some time ago, seeing all the senior brothers and sisters contributing to the sect, Muyue Kingdom was also anxious.

Therefore, the Muyue Kingdom decided to improve itself and reach new heights.

The idea of automated medicine refining was thus put on the agenda.

Mu Bai explained that initially, the Muyue Kingdom suffered repeated failures because no matter how perfectly they cultivated and integrated the spiritual herbs from the ground, unexpected events would always occur during the refining process.

The accident was quite simple... it was due to the automatic alchemy process... without anyone controlling the spiritual fire, all the pills would eventually be ruined.

To Mu Bai's statement, Chu Xinghe could only think, "Isn't that inevitable?"

You just throw all the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace and let the fire roast them directly. Is that alchemy?

Are you roasting sweet potatoes here?

Realizing the problem, Mu Bai and his team made continuous improvements, but ultimately it proved that everything was just as Senior Brother Xinghe had said: this automatic alchemy was simply impossible to succeed.

Mu Bai wanted to give up at that time, but thinking of the high hopes that Senior Brother Xinghe had always placed on our Muyue Kingdom, Mu Bai did not give up easily!

As the saying goes, if you think about how tough it is, just think of that idiot Ouyang Ming; if you think about how tiring it is, just look at how the Dark Moon Clan is willing to open their hearts and lungs!

The Muyue Kingdom ultimately overcame its own limitations and continued its research.

However, the research progress was still not very smooth. No matter how powerful the cultivated medicinal herbs were, they always failed when they tried to refine them.

This problem had troubled the Muyue Kingdom for a long time, until one day, after everyone else had failed once again, Mu Xiaoqi raised her own question.

"Well... the new spiritual herbs we grow have half the effect of normal pills even without being refined, so why do we have to put them in the alchemy furnace? Can't we just eat them directly?"

Mu Xiaoqi's words were very ordinary, but for the Muyue Kingdom, they were enough to change the history of alchemy!

Regarding what Mu Xiaoqi said, everyone had only one thought in their minds at that moment...

Xiaoqi makes perfect sense... If we can grow them directly, why would we need to put them in a pill furnace to refine them?

What? Will it taste better after refining?

In a short time, the Muyue Kingdom found a completely new direction: to grow elixirs directly from the ground.

Previously, elixirs were created by refining various medicinal herbs, but the Muyue Kingdom allows medicinal herbs to fuse together directly during their growth process, resulting in spiritual herbs that directly possess the effects of elixirs.

As Mu Bai's remarks became increasingly outrageous, even the Grand Elder was dumbfounded...

Because the path that Mu Bai and his group have taken is absolutely revolutionary.

This is a skill that could put alchemists out of work.

Fortunately, Mu Bai's next words relieved the Grand Elder.

Through their diligent research, the Muyue Kingdom discovered that pills grown directly in the ground could only be low-grade pills; high-grade pills required various special techniques to refine.

Therefore, this kind of medicine that grows directly from the ground can only be of low quality; there is absolutely no chance of success with high quality medicine.

Moreover, even the low-grade pills available now, when grown from the ground, can only have half the effect of normal low-grade pills at most, and cannot be considered true spiritual herbs.

Chu Xinghe was at a loss for words at this point regarding Mu Bai and the others' descriptions...

Um... what happened to my claim of Medicine Saint Inheritance master?

Why is there no record of such a bizarre method in the Medicine Saint Inheritance?

So, is your Muyue Kingdom trying to defy the heavens? Are you planning to surpass the Medicine Saint? Have you considered how much face your actions will make my Medicine Saint Inheritance lose by disrespecting Senior Brother Xinghe?

Before Chu Xinghe could recover from his daze, Mu Bai explained the difficulties they were facing. Recently, their Muyue Kingdom had encountered challenges on the path of fusing pills.

Normally, pills can only be fused together under the stimulation of spiritual fire. Although the Muyue Kingdom fused spiritual herbs with the Wood Spirit, allowing the herbs to combine and produce certain pill effects, this method was not feasible.

However, without the refinement of spiritual fire, 50% of the medicinal effect is already the limit, and Mu Bai has not yet found a way to further enhance the medicinal effect!

The Grand Elder offered words of comfort regarding the difficulties Mu Bai and his group were facing, expressing his belief that they would surely find a new solution!

Sima Bian jumped out and said, "Senior Brother Mu Bai, please rest assured. Whatever your Muyue Kingdom needs next, just ask. I, Sima Bian, representing the entire Northern Branch, will make sure you get whatever you need!"

After comforting Mu Bai, the Grand Elder glanced at Xinghe, whose face remained calm, and then said to Mu Bai, "Mu Bai... in the art of alchemy, your Senior Brother Xinghe has Medicine Saint Inheritance. I think you should consult with him more; he will surely be able to open up entirely new paths for you!"

Mu Bai nodded solemnly upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, and looked expectantly at Senior Brother Xinghe beside him, who had a calm expression.

Faced with the expectations of Mu Bai and the Grand Elder, Chu Xinghe was speechless...

Chu Xinghe really wanted to tell the Grand Elder and Mu Bai that this wasn't even in the Medicine Saint Inheritance...

Forget about the Medicine Saint Inheritance; even if you brought the Medicine Saint here now, he'd be just as dumbfounded as I am.

But can I now say that the Medicine Saint Inheritance doesn't exist?

If I were to offend Senior Brother Xinghe, wouldn't I lose face?

After much thought, Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth and said, "Junior Brother Mu Bai is right. As for how to further improve the quality, my suggestion is that we need fire!"

"The fusion of elixirs requires fire, so we should set fire to the ground!"

When Chu Xinghe said this, the Grand Elder and Sima Bian were completely stunned.

Um... Xinghe, do you want to hear what you're saying?

Setting fire to the field?

Are you sure you're giving Mu Bai and the others instructions? Are you sure you're not planning to burn the entire spirit field down?

Chu Xinghe was certain... I just wanted to burn the spirit field down.

Are you trying to make me lack fire energy?

That's easy! Just pour two buckets of kerosene into the spirit field, and you won't even need spirit fire. All those spirit herbs will just be burning away.

After this fire, my entire Vast Heaven Sect's spirit fields will be completely destroyed... Never mind whether the spirit fields are destroyed or not, just tell me if it's a fire or not!

As for the elixir being burned up, isn't that normal? Everyone encounters setbacks on the road of research, right?

Therefore, Senior Brother Xinghe's advice to you is to set fire to the place!

Not only the Grand Elder, but even Mu Bai was stunned by Senior Brother Xinghe's outrageous statement...

Seeing Mu Bai's stunned expression, Chu Xinghe couldn't wait to see Mu Bai go back and set the fire.

Before Chu Xinghe could even feel happy for a second, Mu Bai suddenly jumped up from the ground!

"Senior Brother Xinghe is right! Set fire! That's exactly what we need to do!"

The audience. "???"

Seeing Mu Bai jumping up excitedly, not only Chu Xinghe but even the Grand Elder was stunned.

Um... Mu Bai... what your Senior Brother Xinghe said just now was too outrageous... you really don't need to take it to heart.

But just as the Grand Elder was about to speak, Mu Bai excitedly shouted, "Fire! It's fire! The reason we haven't been able to reach our full potential through fusion is because we lack fire!"

"Set the field on fire! As long as we set the field on fire, we're sure to succeed! Mu Bai thanks Senior Brother Xinghe for his guidance! Please, Elder and Senior Brother Xinghe, come to the spirit field and join me in setting the fire!"

As Mu Bai spoke, he ran off wildly. The Grand Elder was startled. Had Mu Bai gone mad?

Could he really have believed Xinghe's words?

Is he planning to set fire to the spirit field?

Chu Xinghe was also excited. "Mu Bai, you've finally figured it out this time, haven't you!"

Go set fire to the spirit field. Don't worry, you're in charge of burning it. Today, you're responsible for burning the spirit field to the ground. I'll take the brunt of the Grand Elder's thunderous wrath for you!

After all, it was your idea of setting the fire that came up Senior Brother Xinghe.

This is going to burn down the entire spirit field! If the Grand Elder doesn't punish me in his anger, I'd be embarrassed!

Your Senior Brother Xinghe is now only one step away from becoming Seventh Rank Martial Saint. As long as I lose my status as an elite disciple, my Seventh Rank Senior Brother Xinghe be secure!

This time, your Muyue Kingdom has finally done something decent.

Burning down the spirit fields! Senior Brother Xinghe, I hereby publicly condemn you!

Sima Bian was completely dumbfounded... How did things suddenly turn into arson?

Actually, it wouldn't be bad if we had half the effect of a normal pill. In the past, the stuff that Zhou Medical Hall refined didn't even have half the effect of a normal pill.

The pills refined using our Fengdu Grand Formation only have about 80% of the effects of normal pills at most. We don't really need to aim for such high results...

50% is fine too...

How did this conversation turn into something as seemingly casual as setting fire to the spirit fields...? Elder, aren't you going to stop them?

Also, Senior Brother Xinghe, what's with your excitement when you heard Mu Bai was going to set it on fire?

That's our Vast Heaven Sect's spirit field... If it were burned down, wouldn't our Vast Heaven Sect suffer heavy losses?

Sima Bian quickly tried to persuade Senior Brother Xinghe... "The spirit field must not be burned! Burning it would cause heavy losses to the sect!"

But Sima Bian's words only made things worse; Senior Brother Xinghe was so excited he almost jumped for joy!

Sima Bian was completely dumbfounded... Senior Brother Xinghe, why are you so excited when you hear that the sect has suffered heavy losses?

If it were anyone else, I, Sima Bian, would suspect you of being a spy for the Demonic Sect...
