The same monkeys, those living on the island, learned to swim, and those living in the forest, learned to climb trees.
This convergent evolution of living things and the environment can be collectively referred to as the "mutual transformation of yin and yang", which is actually the same principle as the "mutual transformation (transformation) of body and mind" in spiritual practice.
This principle applies to plants, that is, plants living in high mountains have learned to resist ultraviolet rays, and plants living in seawater have learned to survive with low oxygen.
Whether it is the evolution of the ability to resist ultraviolet rays or the evolution of the ability to adapt to low oxygen survival, in the biology of earth civilization, it is collectively referred to as "secondary metabolism."
In fact, all plants have secondary metabolism, but the intensity is different.
Among them, those plants with strong secondary metabolism, their secondary metabolites were discovered and utilized very early in ancient China. Such plants are collectively called "Materia Medica" in the traditional Chinese medicine system.
Therefore, in principle, materia medica is not suitable for artificial cultivation.
Because artificial cultivation must be planted in large quantities, it must require land or fertile nutrients, and it must provide an environment suitable for the growth of the herb.
However, such an environment can only promote the primary metabolism of herbs, but their secondary metabolic processes are greatly weakened and even suppressed.
To put it simply, you were originally growing watermelons, but as a result, all the melon vines grew and no more melons grew.
Therefore, the same herb grown in the wild is called a medicinal herb, but cultivated in an environment such as your greenhouse or laboratory, it is just an ordinary plant.
What's the difference between the two?
The difference lies in the content and types of secondary metabolites.
Wild melon vines are very small, with ten melons on one vine; cultivated melon vines are very large, with one melon on ten vines.
No plant is born as a "herb"; all herbs are forced out by relatively harsh environments.
And when you provide it with a good and favorable growing environment, it will turn into a salted fish, "I don't want to make any herbal medicine, I want to be a happy salted fish plant!"
This lesson was originally taught to Xu Guangling by two old men.
As a doctor of biology, Mr. Chen explained primary metabolism and secondary metabolism to Xu Guangling in detail.
Mr. Zhang, as a master of medicine, gave Xu Guangling an in-depth analysis of Materia Medica and Materia Medica based on Mr. Chen's explanation.
In fact, when it comes to this level, we have already touched the "root" of Materia Medica.
fundamental.
To put it another way, if the evaluation of the exercises in Xu Guangling’s practice system is moved here, such an understanding of Materia Medica can already be evaluated as A level.
Level A, fundamental, ultimate, widely applicable.
It applies to all worlds and does not change with time.
According to the saying of the ancient Chinese, "the four directions above and below are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe." The so-called A level is universal in the universe, and its fundamentals remain unchanged. At most, the specific content and some details are adjusted.
The master of medicine and the master of medicine in the first life, when he came to this third life, Xu Guangling suddenly changed, turned over like a kite, and climbed to the next level.
These days, following Wen Donghua's study, although he only came into contact with the pharmacology and drug basics of this world, it was these basics that allowed him to complete the so-called "specific content and some details" adjustments and regain the throne of bulk.
So, how much did Ye Xiaoye learn from Wen Donghua?
Too much is not too much, not too much is not too much.
It’s just a matter of getting back on the big ladder and making further progress.
That is, after completing this further step, Xu Guangling took out his first true practice medicine.
"Foundation Pill".
Foundation Establishment Pill spans two realms.
One is that the configuration of the drug itself has reached S level.
One is that the effectiveness of this medicine after the practitioner takes it, its degree of penetration into creation has reached S level.
When this medicine came out, it also marked the first time that Xu Guangling completely broke through the natural barrier between the great master and the medicine master at the elementary level, making the two one and the other, and the other was this.
That night, Ye Xiaoye went offline again, and Xu Guangling temporarily came on board.
In the sea of consciousness, a new small building appeared next to the three-story building of "Wanfa Pavilion", and this small building only has one floor for the time being.
Its name is "Wanyao Pavilion".
The interior of the three-story building of Wanfa Pavilion was modeled on the "Qinghua Baozhuan" by Xu Guangling as a nostalgic sky mirror.
After all, whether it is cultivation or Dharma, it all came from Du Xiaotian in the beginning.
That is the origin.
As for the plaque outside Wanyao Pavilion, Xu Guangling borrowed three characters from Mr. Chen.
Of course, Mr. Chen never wrote "Wanyao Pavilion", he only wrote "Wan", "Yao" and "Pavilion". Xu Guangling then put these three words together.
In the ancient Chinese culture on earth, this is a common trick that is often used by people.
It's a trivial skill, not worth mentioning.
The reason why I use Mr. Chen’s calligraphy instead of Mr. Zhang’s is because Mr. Chen’s calligraphy is more beautiful.
It cannot be said that Mr. Zhang’s is not good-looking, but comparing the two, it is the difference between an ordinary calligraphy enthusiast and a calligraphy master of the generation.
Inside the small building, a large desk appeared.
That desk in Mr. Zhang’s study!
At this time, there was nothing on the desk.
Xu Guangling walked into the small building and came to the desk. Then he pressed his hand on the desk and slowly walked around the desk.
Xu Guangling walked very slowly.
After this experience, he also relived in his mind the life he had spent when he met Mr. Zhang in the park and then spent time with the two old men.
Then, on the empty table, a wooden box without a lid gradually solidified.
On the wooden box, a pill was generated silently.
【Foundation Pill】
[Level, S level]
[Applicable people, cultivators; applicable scope, condensation, profound entrance, enlightenment (before the first stage is completed)]
[Efficacy, auxiliary practice]
[Grade classification, three grades: upper, middle and lower. For the lower grade, one pill is equivalent to several months of practice; for the middle grade, one pill can break the path of one realm; for the top grade, one pill, taken, can directly surpass the three realms, regardless of
Regardless of your previous cultivation level, after one pill, you will go straight to the first stage of enlightenment.】
In the sea of consciousness, all the herbal medicine and practice knowledge related to the configuration of the Foundation Establishment Pill were drawn out, collected and turned into a book.
"On Materia Medica, Talking about Building the Foundation"
On one wall of the small building, a row of bookshelves appeared silently. Xu Guangling held the book and put it in the bookshelf.
Then, after standing for a moment, Xu Guangling walked out of the small building.
At the same time, Xu Guangling went offline and Ye Xiaoye came online.
Half a month later, in Wuyun City, at a small corner where Qingyun Street and Liuyun Street intersect, a shop that was originally selling food quietly changed its sign and became "Qingye Pharmacy".
