"Are you here?"
Black Tortoise Wall In a Dao of Alchemy laboratory, Zhao Jingfan asked anxiously.
One disciple ran out to take a look, and when he came back, he shook his head at everyone.
Zhao Jingfan couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He put his hands behind his back and walked around the laboratory like a headless chicken. He asked worriedly, "Have the reports been sorted out? Where are the instruments? Have they been checked?"
"Elder, you have asked me seven times." A disciple muttered, "There is not a grain of dust on the ground here."
Zhao Jingfan took a long breath and said with a wry smile, "This is Golden Immortal from Supreme Dao!"
The disciple opened his lips and was speechless.
Zhao Jingfan's status is not low compared to the Nine Mountains Sect's.
A few years ago, after he attained Spirit Transformation, Azure Wood Sect's predecessor Sect Leader and the great elder passed on the position of the Azure Wood Sect Leader to him.
He did not hesitate and directly disbanded Azure Wood Sect, or in other words, with the Azure Wood Sect disciples as the core, he established a specialized research institute in Alchemist College, named Azure Wood Elixir Research Institute.
This is the final choice he made after speculating on the Zheng Fa concept for so many years - to transform the sect into an academic institution, focusing on academic research and talent training.
On the one hand, this choice allows Azure Wood Sect to be fully integrated into Immortal Court.
On the other hand, he has retained most of the Dao of Alchemy inheritance of the Azure Wood Sect, and even in the visible future, Azure Wood Elixir Research Institute will inherit it even better.
At least in his opinion, he was worthy of his ancestors Azure Wood Sect and his master.
He made the right bet.
Zheng Fa didn't say anything, but Mu Qingyan and Azure Wood Elixir Research Institute have become closer and closer these days.
Speaking of which, the relationship between the two is deep - Mu Qingyan is the son of the Azure Wood Sect, but Zhao Jingfan also knows that this person does not have much affection for the Azure Wood Sect.
But since the establishment of Azure Wood Elixir Research Institute, Mu Qingyan has visited frequently, and the exchanges between the two parties have become increasingly close.
The most important thing is that Aoki Research Institute has received many tasks to verify and decipher pharmaceutical theories.
Zhao Jingfan can see clearly that although those pharmaceutical books and theories are weird, they are self-contained and very different from Xuanwei traditional Dao of Alchemy. Moreover, the theoretical system is extremely huge and cannot be produced by Mu Qingyan alone.
Mu Qingyan's attitude can only show that Zheng Fa is very satisfied with his choice and is willing to trust Aoki Research Institute.
Sure enough, he was later appointed as the elder of the Alchemy Academy by Zhang Taishang.
Now he is somewhat influential in the Nine Mountains Sect Dao of Alchemy system, and has even completed several major Immortal Court projects as a leader.
But today, he couldn't help but feel extremely nervous.
For any alchemy Alchemist, the three words Supreme Dao mean the highest peak of alchemy skills for thousands of years.
Not to mention, what they want to see is monk Golden Immortal like Nine Sons of Taishang.
If you open any alchemy book or any book about the development of Dao of Alchemy, you can find the names of these nine people in it.
They are Xuanwei Alchemist mountains that cannot be climbed.
No matter in terms of Dao of Alchemy's attainments or cultivation, Zhao Jingfan can only be called a layman in front of Nine Sons of Taishang.
"Coming!"
Ten rainbow lights in the blue sky merged into an arch bridge and landed at the entrance of the laboratory. The high-altitude momentum was like a mountain, pressing down on Zhao Jingfan and the others, making them feel offended even when they breathed.
"Everyone, this is my Nine Mountains Sect's Aoki Research Institute." Mu Qingyan's voice came, "This is our Nine Mountains Sect Alchemist Association's most elite group of disciples."
After hearing this, Zhao Jingfan finally raised his head and looked at Nine Sons of Taishang and Mu Qingyan, with only one thought in his mind - he must not lose his share.
Nine Sons of Taishang glanced at him, but didn't do anything. They didn't even deliberately use their cultivation to suppress others.
But the gap between the two sides is really too big.
They didn't pay any attention to the disciples in this laboratory - first of all, you must know that the monks who worked under Supreme Dao and Dao Fruit in the past could not see them at all, let alone let them personally guide them.
In their minds, coming here is just to give Mu Qingyan face.
But Mu Qingyan said these disciples are all elites?
Xuan Chengzi and Longbrow Daoist looked at each other and smiled without paying much attention.
Mu Qingyan then said to Zhao Jingfan, "I don't need to introduce these nine people? Their coming is an opportunity for us Alchemy Academy."
Zhao Jingfan hurriedly raised his hands and said, "I am a late learner, and I would like to pay my respects to all the immortals."
Xuan Chengzi The others just glanced at him, but Longbrow Daoist nodded, his attitude was relatively mild, but he didn't say anything.
Zhao Jingfan was inevitably a little depressed, but he was no longer the young boy he was back then. He understood the gap in strength and status between the two sides, so he just ignored it and walked into the laboratory with Nine Sons of Taishang.
Xuan Chengzi slowed down as soon as he entered the laboratory.
This laboratory was different from what he imagined.
In his opinion, any laboratory or research institute is another name for Lian Alchemy Chamber.
But the laboratory in front of me doesn't even have Pill Furnace!
This laboratory is very big.
Half of them were connected with long white tables. On the long tables were some bottles and cans that he couldn't understand and Law Artifact.
The other half is blocked by a transparent glass wall, and at the other end of the wall are some metal pipes.
What made him feel even more strange was that there were some numbers and runes flashing on the glazed wall.
The entire laboratory gave him an inexplicable sense of solemnity.
"This is?"
Before Xuan Chengzi could speak, Changmei couldn't help but ask Mu Qingyan.
Mu Qingyan said nothing, but gave Zhao Jingfan a look.
"This is our newly developed Spirit Medicine Reaction Chamber." Zhao Jingfan took two quick steps and stood in front of Nine Sons of Taishang.
"Spirit Medicine Reaction Chamber?"
"That's Pill Furnace."
Longbrow Daoist frowned and said, "Why is it so weird?"
"Because it is convenient for observation and recording." Zhao Jingfan talked about this much more fluently. He was also involved in the design of the reaction chamber. "Please see, these pipes can be timed and quantified to control when to put in medicinal materials and when to adjust the spiritual fire."
"This screen." Zhao Jingfan pointed at the glazed wall and said, "On the one hand, it allows us to observe the alchemy process, record the temperature of the reaction chamber, Spiritual Qi concentration, the amount of medicine, and even record the entire reaction process for review after refining."
"On the other hand, this reaction chamber also has functions such as automatic cleaning and automatic repeating of the last experiment."
"Compared with the previous generation reaction chamber, the most important improvement is that these data will be automatically connected to Heavenly Derivation Array Disk for our analysis and deduction."
Nine Sons of Taishang seemed to understand. Several people frowned. Xuan Chengzi's expression was even more indifferent, as if he felt it was unnecessary.
However, Longbrow Daoist has recently read a lot of papers in Comprehensive Mirror, and has a little understanding of Nine Mountains Alchemy Dao. He is more accepting of this matter. After hearing this, he nodded lightly and said, "It's interesting."
Zhao Jingfan laughed, "This new type of reaction chamber is extremely useful. With it, our process of interpreting and improving Taishang Alchemy Dao's classics will be more than a hundred times faster."
He originally said No-Mind, but the laboratory suddenly became quiet.
Zhao Jingfan looked up blankly, and saw Xuan Chengzi looking at him faintly, half-smiling but not smiling, "Improvement----my Supreme Dao's Dao of Alchemy classics?"
Although he smiled, Zhao Jingfan couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and tightened his face.
The other Supreme Dao Golden Immortal also had a cold look in their eyes.
This is really offensive.
Seeing that Zhao Jingfan was speechless, Xuan Chengzi chuckled, looked at Mu Qingyan with a smile and said, "Xianzi Mu, you said you wanted me to give you some pointers on the Nine Mountains Sect's Alchemist, but now it seems that I'm afraid it will open my eyes."
Mu Qingyan's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't hear the cynicism in his words, but looked at Zhao Jingfan and said, "My Nine Mountains Sect and these Alchemist are indeed very good."
Longbrow Daoist couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart when he saw that Xuan Chengzi's face was even more ugly.
Junior Brother Xuan Chengzi originally intended to exclude these Azure Wood Sect disciples, but now Elder Zhao is boasting and Mu Qingyan is obviously biased. Junior Brother Xuan Chengzi probably hates these Alchemist even more.
Sure enough, the smile on Xuan Chengzi's face slowly disappeared. He looked at Zhao Jingfan with no emotion in his eyes and said coldly, "Then please tell me, Elder Zhao, which of my Supreme Dao books are not in your eyes and need to be improved? What have you improved?"
Zhao Jingfan glanced at Mu Qingyan, saw him slowly nodding towards him, and then whispered, "All."
Nine Sons of Taishang is all confused.
Xuan Chengzi was stunned for a long time, but his anger disappeared and he just said to Mu Qingyan, "Are you trying to give us a kick? Fairy Mu is too underestimated for my waiting."
He seemed to want to see a hint of embarrassment on Mu Qingyan's face, but Mu Qing didn't smile, let alone explain, and just looked at him quietly.
Xuan Chengzi's smile became smaller and smaller, then he narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Jingfan in silence for a long time, as if he was finally willing to remember Zhao Jingfan's face.
"I don't want me, Taishang Alchemy Dao, to be abandoned by others. I would like to hear Elder Zhao's advice."
He said it politely, but everyone understood the contempt in it.
Zhao Jingfan Don't panic now.
He was originally a man of no stinginess, but when he was aroused by Xuan Chengzi, his early recklessness came back. Not only did he not have stage fright, but his voice was loud and eloquent. "Taishang Alchemy Dao is certainly exquisite and magnificent, but I and Alchemist, in front of you, are all newbies."
"But in my opinion, Supreme Dao is broad and scattered. I can only see the branches and leaves, but not the forest."
"To put it simply, it is not systematic."
There was silence in the laboratory. Even Longbrow Daoist looked a little unhappy, let alone Xuan Chengzi.
Xuan Chengzi took a deep look at Zhao Jingfan, but did not get angry. He just said to Mu Qingyan with a cold face, "In that case, wouldn't it be ridiculous for me to wait here? Please excuse me and say goodbye."
Everyone can see that Xuan Chengzi is not angry, he just feels that he has lost his identity by arguing with Zhao Jingfan.
Longbrow Daoist smoothed things over and said, "Why don't you listen to what Dean Zhao has to say."
Xuan Chengzi glanced at this senior brother and seemed to see his painstaking efforts. He didn't rush to leave. He just closed his eyes and looked like he was out of sight.
Zhao Jingfan picked up a Jade Slip from the experimental table and explained, "Take your sect's <Supreme Dao Green Satchel Scripture> as an example. This book contains more than 21,300 prescriptions, which are enough to treat most diseases and injuries."
Having said this, Zhao Jingfan had a little respect on his face.
Only by getting the Supreme Dao classics can we understand how rich this sect has accumulated in Dao of Alchemy.
This is an inheritance that has lasted for several epochs and almost tens of millions of years.
For thousands of years, Supreme Dao has not stood still, but has studied and experimented generation after generation. Although their experiments are not quite the same as Nine Mountains Sect, and are even a bit random, the accumulated experience is enough to make all other Dao of Alchemy sects despair.
<Supreme Dao Green Satchel Scripture> Dao of Alchemy is far from the most exquisite classic book of Supreme Dao. It records more than 20,000 precious unique prescriptions.
He even better understands the pride of Xuan Chengzi and others on this path - Xuanwei Alchemy Dao, Taishang is the first, this is the reality.
Zhao Jingfan took a deep breath. "But Pill Formula is effective. It only means that experience is effective, but it does not mean that the pharmacology summarized by you is effective."
Xuan Chengzi opened his eyes and his face turned darker. "Are you doubting my Supreme Dao's medicinal properties?"
"Yes!" Zhao Jingfan nodded, "In other words, we are verifying the pharmacology."
"According to the concept of Zheng Fa, any Immortal Way technique is an empirical phenomenon. Deep laws are summarized, and then new techniques are derived."
"Supreme Dao's experience is enough for us to learn for a lifetime." Zhao Jingfan looked at Xuan Chengzi and said in a strong voice, "But the theoretical verification is not enough. I need to wait and identify them one by one."
Xuan Chengzi said angrily, "What a shame!"
Longbrow Daoist, on the other hand, thought deeply. He had known that Nine Mountains Sect valued empirical evidence, so he became interested at this time. "Is this Sect Leader's philosophy?"
"Yes!"
Longbrow Daoist pursed his lips, and even Xuan Chengzi's expression became more solemn. Apparently, the word "Zheng Sect Leader" forced him to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Then how are you going to verify it?"
"It is divided into three steps. First, use this reaction chamber to record, review, and observe the microscopic changes and interactions of spirit medicine, which corresponds to the statement in Pill Formula."
In fact, there are many correct parts of pharmacology in the Taishang Alchemy Dao classics - because monks have extremely strong observation abilities, in many cases, a high-level monk is enough to replace many experimental instruments.
Even this method is not enough to convince Xuan Chengzi.
Although he does not deliberately do this in his daily alchemy, there is no shortage of such steps.
Any Taishang or Pill Formula is, in a literal sense, tempered over time.
"What about the second step?"
"Try the medicine."
"Test medicine?"
Zhao Jingfan seemed to have difficulty explaining it, so he just said, "We Nine Mountains Sect have a standard process for testing drugs."
"The first is to conduct experiments on animals and spiritual beasts to verify safety. Of course Supreme Dao Pill Formula is not necessary."
"The second is to use monks or human subjects for experiments."
Xuan Chengzi sneered, "What's the difference between this and us?"
"There is a difference. The main difference is that we will strictly adopt the Double-Blind Method experiment."
"Double-Blind Method?"
"The simplest case is to divide the subjects into two groups, one group takes the experimental elixir, and the other group takes the drug that has no effect except Spiritual Qi - we call it Pseudo-Pill."
"As for who took what medicine, not only the subjects don't know, but we don't know either."
"This will eliminate human interference."
Seeing what Xuan Chengzi wanted to say, Zhao Jingfan added, "In many experiments, Pseudo-Pill has a maximum curative effect of 30% on mortals----"
"For monks, Pseudo-Pill is even more useful."
This is easy to understand. A monk's Divine Soul spiritual power is highly related to his belief and will, and the placebo effect is much greater than that of a mortal.
Even according to the research institute's experiments, the Placebo Effect on the monk's body was ridiculously large.
"Every Pill Formula in the Supreme Dao books will be considered effective only after going through various experiments. According to Zheng Fa, this is our Nine Mountains Sect----Empirical Alchemy Dao."
