—------------------—
After hearing this explanation, Dugu Bo felt better. He waved his hand and chose not to ask any more questions.
It would be inappropriate for him to interfere too much in the affairs of the younger generation.
After Dugu Bo solved the family's toxin problem, although his temperament was still withdrawn, he was obviously much easier to get along with than before.
Wei Feng smiled, walked over to him, looked at the strange plant, and asked curiously:
"This is?"
"A drop of the Phosphorus Ghost Face Flower's juice will instantly turn a Soul King into pus and blood."
Dugu Bo introduced the terrifying thing in a calm tone, but his hands were extremely gentle.
"Collecting its morning dew is the starting point for refining several special detoxification pills."
"Alchemy?"
Wei Feng accurately grasped this word, and his eyes lit up:
"Besides researching poisons, do you also refine some...pills?"
Dugu Bo then stopped, glanced at him, wiped his hands and stood up:
"You're quite knowledgeable, kid. There's a fine line between poison and medicine.
I have been studying poisons all my life, so naturally I can also make some pills and powders for detoxification, healing, or stimulating potential.
However, most of them have strong effects and require specific techniques or physical conditions, so they are not considered serious elixirs."
There was a hint of pride and regret in Dugu Bo's tone, as if he was quite dissatisfied with the crude use of medicine on the mainland today.
This is exactly what Wei Feng wants!
He immediately took over the conversation, his tone filled with excitement and inquiry:
"So, what if we do this in a more 'serious' and systematic way?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Feng with his emerald green snake eyes, with a hint of doubt.
Wei Feng organized his words and said with a stern look in his eyes:
"I mean, build a complete system like those legendary pharmacists!
Systematically study the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, not simply mix them, but use soul power as a guide, use special methods to drive the medicine furnace, control the temperature, and use the main, secondary, auxiliary and guiding methods to refine and integrate the essence of multiple medicinal materials.
Eventually, it was condensed into a brand new, more potent, easier to absorb, and even capable of producing incredible benefits... a 'Dan'!"
He spoke more and more fluently, combining his previous life's imagination of the alchemy system in immortal cultivation novels with the characteristics of the soul power of this world:
"For example, refining a 'Soul Gathering Pill' that can strengthen the body and accelerate the cultivation of soul masters below the Soul Venerable level.
A "Boiling Blood Pill" that can burst out soul power in a short period of time with minimal side effects.
A "poison-avoiding pill" that can cure all kinds of poisons and even increase poison resistance.
Even... maybe in the future we can refine a 'barrier-breaking pill' that can help break through bottlenecks!"
Wei Feng also yearns for elixirs.
When I read fantasy novels in the past, I couldn't help but think, it would be great if Douluo also had such elixir.
If possible, it would be even better to turn alchemy into a major pillar industry of the Burning Heaven Sect.
In this era, there is not much space for alchemists, or they have not yet developed.
It wasn't until ten thousand years later that these elixirs became widely popular.
Dugu Bo has the cultivation, the techniques, the experience, and the mental strength.
If Dugu Bo could become a master of alchemy, he would be able to refine the magic grass into elixir later.
Even though the effect of each pill is slightly weaker than directly refining the immortal grass.
But the overall effect is far better than directly refining the immortal herbs.
If you can maximize your use, that's best.
Dugu Bo listened rather carelessly at first.
But as Wei Feng described, his expression gradually changed.
From confusion to surprise, to deep interest, and finally a terrifying gleam of light flashed!
He was an expert in medicine and knew very well what these "pills" described by Wei Feng meant!
This is absolutely incomparable to those crude medicinal powders circulating on the mainland now!
This is the possibility of taking drug use to a whole new level!
Ahem, that's a bit of an exaggeration.
However, if a systematic alchemy inheritance could really be created, it would not only greatly enhance the sect's foundation, but would also be enough to make Dugu Bo famous for eternity!
"Systematic research... soul power as the guide... the main, secondary, and auxiliary... condensed into a pill..."
Dugu Bo muttered to himself, and every word struck a chord in his heart.
He has been dealing with drugs and poisons all his life, and his biggest regret is that he has countless brilliant ideas and rare medicinal herbs.
However, due to the limitations of existing crude techniques, the efficacy of the medicine cannot be maximized, and it is even more difficult to promote it.
Wei Feng's words seemed to open a whole new door for him!
"Kid, where do these ideas of yours come from?"
Dugu Bo stared at Wei Feng intently, his voice a little hoarse, filled with disbelief and extreme desire.
Wei Feng had already thought of his words, and said calmly:
"Part of it is from scattered records I've seen in some extremely ancient and damaged tome, and the other part... is my own conjectures from observing the operation of martial spirits and soul power.
I think, since soul power can activate soul skills and assist in cultivation, why can't it be used to refine medicine?
Different soul power attributes and different fire control should produce completely different effects."
Wei Feng paused, looked at the dazzling array of poisonous herbs around him, and said in a tempting tone:
"Grandpa Dugu, imagine if we can successfully establish this 'alchemy' system.
Then, the value of these rare herbs that you have collected and studied throughout your life will increase by more than a hundred times?
You are no longer the Poison Douluo who only knows how to play with poison in the eyes of the world, but the "Master of Alchemy" who founded a new school!
The Burning Heaven Sect will therefore possess a unique core industry that will drive all spirit masters crazy!"
"The founder of the alchemy path..."
Dugu Bo's breathing suddenly stopped. These four words were too tempting for someone like him who had spent his entire life pursuing the ultimate in medicine!
He could even see the scene where countless soul masters flocked to the Burning Heaven Sect in order to obtain a magic pill that could help them break through!
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Dugu Bo said three "good" words in a row, and paced back and forth in the pavilion excitedly. The shadow of the Green Phosphorus Snake King even appeared faintly because of his emotional fluctuations.
"I've done it! Boy, your idea is absolutely amazing! What support do you need? Manpower? Space? Herbs? Just ask! It's worth it to invest all my little fortune!"
The way he looked at Wei Feng at this moment was as if he was looking at a rare treasure, green and scary.
For this kid Wei Feng, the royal family can bring him unexpected surprises.
Wei Feng smiled and said:
"In the initial stage, it's not advisable to be too fussy.
A secret room that is absolutely hidden, fireproof and explosion-proof, and has sufficient soul power is needed as the alchemy room.
In terms of medicinal materials, start with the basics and explore slowly.
As for manpower... for now, it's just you and me, and at most we can call Lingling. Her Nine-Hearted Begonia has a keen sense of medicinal properties and may be able to help.
Once we've figured out some basic techniques, we can consider training specialized alchemy disciples."
