Inside the room, a large Pill Furnace stood in the center. Wisps of distorted air rose above it, the extreme heat seemingly turning even the air into plasma. It looked as though a mass of liquid flame covered the furnace.
Lin Hao sat cross-legged before the Pill Furnace, his hands constantly forming Pill Formulas to control it.
"The art of pill refinement really is extraordinarily profound. It can directly perform atomic-level recombination, seemingly locking intangible spiritual energy into the gaps in atomic lattice structures and arranging it in a special way-"
Lin Hao possessed abilities from the Information Processing series, as well as the ability to control Multithreading, and could use the Sun Essence Flame as a catalyst.
Combined with the Green Grain Sect's complete body of pill-refining knowledge and techniques, even though he had only just started, his methods were already extremely sophisticated. He had even begun directly examining the principles behind pill refinement.
Spiritual energy itself was more like a form of dark energy that did not participate in electromagnetic interactions, yet pills could use unique structural locks to reconstruct spiritual energy in a unique way.
"Spiritual properties allow better mobilization of spiritual power, which is why older medicinal ingredients are more effective. In a sense, pill refinement means performing specific recombinations of ingredients that retain their spiritual properties even at high temperatures, giving the pills spiritual properties as well-"
Higher temperatures were not necessarily better. Ingredients of different qualities required different flames. Maximizing the activation of their spiritual properties, locking in the optimal specific combination of spiritual energy, and forming pill patterns would produce good pills.
Lin Hao directly dissected the many underlying principles of pill refinement, growing increasingly confident in his control. Then he picked up several Spirit Stones, crushed them, and blew the powder into
