Chapter 358: Every Time an Automated Alchemy Furnace Is Created, a Xiao Yan Disappears.
However, in the next instant, Hai Bodong quickly reacted, exclaiming, "You mean that Spirit Stone technology?"
"Spirit Stone technology?" Yun Yun asked in confusion.
Seeing the bewildered expression on Yun Yun's face, Hai Bodong instinctively glanced at Jiang Lin. When he saw Jiang Lin nodding slightly, giving him permission, Hai Bodong began to explain the Spirit Stone technology that Jiang Lin had recently developed.
"Anyway, the thing that was finally named the Spirit Stone is like a brand new kind of Crystal Pill. Crystal Pills are used for refining the body, while Spirit Stones are used for refining Qi. Our traditional cultivation methods are all about refining Qi, right? The Spirit Stone is essentially our Dou Qi cultivators' version of the 'Crystal Pill!'" Hai Bodong said, his eyes full of shock and excitement as he explained the concept of the Spirit Stone. Since they still had some time before heading deeper into the Magical Beast Mountain, Hai Bodong, with some boredom, decided to share his thoughts on the Spirit Stone.
"Unlike Crystal Pills, which can only be refined by Refining Masters, Spirit Stones can be refined by both of us using a special tool called a Spirit Furnace. Crystal Pills increase physical strength, while Spirit Stones can boost my cultivation speed!" Hai Bodong's eyes sparkled with amazement as he spoke. He had to admit, Jiang Lin was the greatest benefactor he had ever encountered!
What? Xiao Yan? What's that? I don't know him at all! Not familiar with him at all!
Every time Hai Bodong thought he had a clear understanding of Jiang Lin, Jiang Lin would pull out a treasure from his pants that would completely shatter his worldview!
(Jiang Lin: Don't use adjectives if you don't know how!!!)
As for Xiao Yan, Hai Bodong wasn't at all familiar with his alchemy skills!
As a member of the Mittel family, one of the three great families of Gama, Hai Bodong was particularly sensitive to "value."
Indeed, Xiao Yan, the mysterious alchemist who could refine Sixth-Grade pills, represented tremendous value. However, when compared to the radiant Xiao Yan, Jiang Lin, a seemingly ordinary Refining Master, made Hai Bodong suddenly realize that while a high-grade pill could create a strong individual, a super technology could create an entire era!
Hai Bodong could almost imagine saying to Jiang Lin: "The future era will certainly be Jiang Lin's era!"
(Jiang Lin: Don't use that "learned it from me" thing, you really did learn it, huh?! I was using my toes!!!)
In this world, Refining Masters and Formation Masters might have been misled by the prominence of alchemists who emphasized extreme personal power, while someone like Jiang Lin, starting from a small technique and ultimately reaching the essence, could influence the entire world!
(Hai Bodong: Look, you're saying I'm not clear about you, but aren't you the one who's flipping the world upside down?)
(Jiang Lin: Damn!!! I'm the one flipping things! Now I can't even say "You learned it badly" because you actually learned it badly!)
"Spirit Stones... can enhance cultivation speed?! And with the Spirit Furnace, everyone can condense them?" After listening to Hai Bodong's explanation, Yun Yun's pupils contracted and vibrated slightly, and she unconsciously swallowed.
At the moment she heard this, Yun Yun instinctively thought it was impossible, but after considering it, she realized that Jiang Lin had already turned many impossible things into reality. The Spirit Stone, though seemingly far-fetched, suddenly became much more plausible when related to Jiang Lin.
And then…
"Artificial Purple Spirit Crystals?" Yun Yun suddenly translated the Spirit Stones into something she could understand and looked at Jiang Lin, who was flying alongside her, with astonishment in her eyes.
(Jiang Lin: Okay, okay... you want to use words incorrectly too, huh? At least you didn't learn badly, right? Or maybe?!)
"That's about the idea, but the strength is hard to reach the level of Purple Spirit Crystals, and the meaning of 'artificial' just emphasizes the sustainable production." Jiang Lin thought for a moment and agreed with Yun Yun's interpretation. This was how thinking worked—you can't truly understand something you've never seen, but when you say "artificial Purple Spirit Crystals," memories of similar things instantly flood back, and Yun Yun suddenly understood the value of the Spirit Stones.
After all, that "Purple Spirit Stone" almost bought her purity.
"Does this mean your Spirit Furnace can also refine Crystal Pills?" The sharp-witted Yun Yun suddenly raised this question.
"Theoretically, yes. The Spirit Furnace can simplify the refining process of Crystal Pills, but the core of Crystal Pills lies in the refining characteristics of Fire and Metal Dou Qi. Even if a Crystal Pill Spirit Furnace exists, it would still only be used by a Refining Master for refining." Jiang Lin shrugged. "The limiting factor for Crystal Pills isn't the materials, but the number of Refining Masters available."
Jiang Lin couldn't help but smile wryly. Yun Yun, being beautiful and smart, had actually thought of the idea for the Crystal Pill Spirit Furnace, something Jiang Lin had considered long ago.
And not just for the Crystal Pill Spirit Furnace—certain types of pill refining furnaces were also part of Jiang Lin's plans.
In other words, one day, it wouldn't be other alchemists who would defeat alchemists; it would be cross-field blows from Refining Masters.
For Jiang Lin, at this stage, he already had an ancient yet highly advanced intelligent alchemy furnace technology.
Materials needed: Large Alchemy Furnace, Xiao Yan.
Steps: Open the furnace, insert Xiao Yan, and every once in a while, just add a bit of energy needed for the automation.
Operation method: Add the pill materials, input the type of pill to be refined, and then sit back and wait for the pill to be successfully refined.
(Xiao Yan: ???)
Although the technology behind the automated furnace was ancient, how could you say it wasn't intelligent?
Xiao Yan (with a sudden realization): I've thought of a perfect idea for an automated refining furnace!!
Of course, jokes aside, Jiang Lin just wanted to express a simple point of view: perhaps life itself is a kind of technology.
That was also why Jiang Lin had the idea of using Yao Chen as a weapon spirit.
Yao Chen becoming a weapon spirit was more of a technical experiment for Jiang Lin. Yao Chen's freedom didn't mean all weapon spirits would have the same level of freedom. Jiang Lin didn't need Yao Chen to manifest any special techniques—Yao Chen's presence was meaningful enough. The control of the Exquisite Fire and Mysterious Heavy Ruler by Yao Chen had already given Jiang Lin an answer to the route he should take.
When Jiang Lin could view life itself as a kind of technology, it wouldn't be surprising if one day, he added intelligent chips to his Purple Hwang or Emperor's Banner, a dark device.
This was also why Jiang Lin was beginning to understand the roots of the Spirit Clan.
Because, standing on the shoulders of giants and looking toward the future, Jiang Lin's technological knowledge had already accumulated to the point where he could influence the world's key moments.
There's a saying: worldview is the active reflection of the world.
But…
One day, you suddenly realize you might be able to change the world.
Does this mean that the worldview is also being reshaped?
