When I was supposed to be slaying the dragon, I accidentally started cultivating immortality - Chapter 157 Psychoactivation and Divine Consciousness

Through the alchemy textbooks sent by the vice-principal, Lu Mingfei already had a basic understanding of alchemy in this world, including alchemy props, alchemy weapons, alchemy potions, and other bits and pieces.

Both worlds are inseparable from flames in refining weapons. The alchemical weapons in this world rely on flames for quenching, tempering or blending into other substances. Not to mention that world, basically any refiner can master the exquisite flames. For spells, even the weapon refiner who mainly uses earth fire and sky fire has to rely on human fire when he first learns.

However, the concept of “human fire” does not exist in this world. Letting the fire element burn stably and even change the temperature finely according to one’s own will is the authority of pure-blooded dragons of the next generation and above. Hybrids can master the power of “blazing”. Very rarely, generally speaking, “Jun Yan” is the highest level of speech spirit that a hybrid can master.

It is better to expect that this kind of speaking spirit can be used to refine weapons than to expect dragons to take the initiative to teach the mysterious alchemy to humans.

“Are we going to use this primitive way to make the scabbard?”

Standing in front of the blazing furnace, it was difficult for Lu Mingfei to express his feelings.

“Otherwise?” said a man wearing an undershirt and with a scar on his face. He looked more like a warrior than a researcher. “Forging has been like this since ancient times, and alchemy weapons are no exception.”

“I thought that as a mixed race, we would be a little…” Lu Mingfei organized his words before saying, “It’s a cool way.”

“Cool?” the big man asked with a sneer, “Are you talking about the kind of spirit that makes metal appear out of thin air with a wave of your hand, and then floats in the air and is smelted into alchemical weapons?”

“Yeah!”

Lu Mingfei nodded.

“There has indeed been such a word spirit in history that allows the releaser to smelt metal out of thin air and form new forms at will in a field centered on himself. In the evaluation of the secret party, its miracle and greatness are even No less than the God-level Word Spirit Candle Dragon No. 114.”

The big man explained: “The name of this word spirit is ‘Heaven and Earth is the Furnace’, and it is a high-risk word spirit with serial number 96. According to the records of the secret party, hybrids who have awakened this level of word spirit are rare even in history. , you ancient Chinese alchemists called it ‘Ruyi Cauldron’ or ‘Samadhi True Fire’.”

“The Ruyi Cauldron means that the shape and size of the furnace can be made at will, and the Samadhi True Fire means that the person who holds the spirit uses the spiritual fire to refine items.”

“Spiritual fire?”

Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows.

“Yes, although this Word Spirit is an advanced Word Spirit from the Bronze and Fire Lord series, it is not a real flame. Instead, it will be accompanied by an extremely strong magnetic field when it is released, and can even form electric light visible to the naked eye,” the big man said Explained, “But so far, it has no record of producing flames, except for some sparks caused by metal friction.”

Lu Mingfei secretly said that it seems that we are not familiar with the same Samadhi True Fire. In my impression, only a small flower of Samadhi True Fire can evaporate a lake.

“Okay, the original embryo is almost smelted and quenched. It’s time to take it out and shape it.” The big man turned to look at Lu Mingfei, “Since you said you wanted to come and observe and learn, then take a good look. For my next action, the alchemical matrix must be drawn into the weapon through the spirit at the moment of casting.”

After saying that, the big man picked up the casting hammer at hand, used a clamp to take out the red and glowing embryo from the furnace and placed it on the anvil, then raised the casting hammer and smashed it down.

The casting hammer in the big man’s hand is silver-white, and every time it hits the metal block, it will emit a glittering halo. This is the big man using his own spirit to build an alchemical matrix in it.

If an alchemist wants to draw an alchemical matrix, the first step is to activate his own spirit so that it can “extend”, and then try to let the spirit have a subtle and mysterious influence on it, so as to draw the alchemical matrix at this moment, and then The spirit remaining in it will be aggregated into the “spirit” of the alchemical weapon.

Of course, living spirits are basically complete souls that have been sealed in. So far, there has been no story of the remaining spirit of an alchemist being aggregated into a “spirit” of the “living spirit” level.

To become an alchemist, a mixed race does not necessarily have to learn how to shape the alchemical matrix, but it must activate its spirit. Even an alchemist who specializes in potions can only refine some low-to-medium-grade alchemical potions if it cannot activate its spirit. .

Although the consumption is much smaller than that of carving an alchemical matrix, many powerful alchemical potions are absolutely inseparable from the catalyst of “spirit”.

Without the alchemist extending his spirit into the potion to participate in the reaction, these potions would not be formed at all. Therefore, in the mixed race world, all alchemy potions that require the spiritual participation of the alchemist are high-level potions and are rare treasures that cannot be mass-produced.

Regarding this psychoactivation, Lu Mingfei originally thought that letting the “god” come out of the body was a method similar to the monk’s “divine consciousness”, but after learning more about it in detail, he realized that he was overthinking it.

There is no comparison between this kind of extended spirit and the spiritual consciousness of a monk. To put it bluntly, this kind of extended spirit means to separate some of your soul power from the whole, and then force it out of the body, relying on the soul You can control the power of souls that are forced out of the body, depict the alchemical matrix or catalyze the reaction of alchemical potions.

No wonder an alchemical matrix will form a stronger or weaker “spirit”. This is clearly an aggregate of soul power with instinctive reactions produced by the spontaneous convergence of the soul power left in the weapon by the alchemist.

If the blood of the dragon hadn’t given hybrids a soul-repairing ability that was no less than that of the physical body, the alchemists in this world would have died eight hundred times!

It’s no wonder that this thing can’t produce living beings. After all, forcing the soul out of the soul power will not damage the true spirit as the origin, and the true spirit is the key to consciousness. Without the true spirit, how can a living being be born?

But this can be considered a good thing. If the true soul is really separated from the body, even the dragon’s blood may not be able to save these alchemists who are not afraid of death.

Compared with the “activated spirit” of hybrids, the monk’s spiritual consciousness is not at the same level at all.

The monk’s spiritual consciousness is a power based on the concept of “god” that is evolved after the “god” becomes powerful to a certain extent. It is an extension of the monk’s thinking. He can control magic weapons such as flying swords almost like an arm and a finger, as long as the mind can react. , the divine consciousness can make corresponding changes instantly.

For example, the big man who is forging iron to build an alchemical matrix now relies on the activated spirit to build the alchemical matrix. Because the soul power forced out of the body is extremely difficult to control, he can only build a little bit of the alchemical matrix with each hammer to complete the entire process. It takes hundreds or even thousands of hammers.

Because the construction consumes so much, he needs to rest for a few days after hitting nearly a hundred hammers before he can continue to build. He cannot rest for too long, lest the carved alchemy matrix becomes unstable. When the casting is completed, he will have to cultivate a lot. moon.

If Lu Mingfei has cultivated his spiritual consciousness at this moment, he can complete the construction of such a complex alchemical matrix with just one hammer – no, he doesn’t even need a hammer at all, he only needs to probe his spiritual consciousness into it, but A matter of thought.

Unless it is an extremely complex alchemical matrix that even his thinking ability cannot complete in one go, it may need to be carved two or three times.

The pale man put down the silver-white casting hammer in his hand, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he sat on a chair to rest. Although there was no problem with his physical strength, his soul power was consumed a lot.

Lu Mingfei is a little eager to give it a try. Although he has not yet cultivated spiritual consciousness at this stage, he has true energy, and true energy can be divided back into mana and blood when it is depleted. Maybe true energy can be used in building an alchemical matrix. Or will mana have a miraculous effect?

Of course, considering that what was on the anvil was his future scabbard, Lu Mingfei was not prepared to use it as a test subject.

“Researcher Kress,” Lu Mingfei turned to look at the big man slumped in the chair, pointed at a metal ingot in the corner and asked, “Can I try my hand at it?”

“You can’t build the alchemy matrix until you have completed the psychoactivation. Even if I give you my alchemy hammer, you won’t be able to use it. It’s better not to waste your efforts and work hard to complete the psychoactivation first.”

Researcher Kress shook his head.

“Actually, I felt like I had completed psychoactivation last night,” Lu Mingfei scratched his head, “But I’m not sure, so I wanted to try it.”

“What…whatthefuck?!”

Researcher Kress subconsciously spoke his native language.

After obtaining the consent of Researcher Kress, Lu Mingfei picked up the alchemy casting hammer placed next to the anvil and tried to inject the true energy into it, but the true energy seemed unable to enter it, so he tried to separate some of the true energy. into mana and qi and blood, and then control the mana to be injected into it.

The casting hammer emitted a bright silver light, even creating highlights and shadows on Lu Mingfei’s face.

“Snapped–“

Researcher Kress who was sitting in the chair slapped himself hard, and the clear and loud sound made Lu Mingfei couldn’t help but look at him.

Researcher Kress, half of his cheeks were rapidly swollen and swollen, his eyes were dull and he was mumbling in a low voice.

“It’s a dream, it’s a dream…this girl must be a dream…”

I made up the alchemy system, but the word spirit is real. In the new version, the word spirit used by Xia Mi to refine weapons out of thin air is called “Heaven and Earth as a Furnace”. To be honest, if the new version didn’t already have a name, I would I wanted to call that Yanling “Tiangong”, but since it already exists, let’s use the new version.
